Chapter 217: Mission progress increased, but Li Shucheng was not entirely satisfied.
Several people joined the path of creating scribbles, or rather, crafting talismans.
So, in this neglected area, a few people sat around a large table, frantically drawing talismans.
Zhao Keke: "Oops, I put too much cinnabar in."
Yang Kele: "This is so annoying, why are my hands shaking so much?"
Nan Zitong: "Drawing talismans is a delicate task. You have to have a steady hand and a calm mind. Look at the great masters Lu and Shen, oh, and now we have to add Zuo Zuo to the list."
Shen Jue and the other two are now the elite backbone of the team, while the three of them are temporarily considered the team's beautiful but useless members.
It can't play much of a role right now.
They're good at fighting, but not at solving puzzles.
This kind of thing should be left to people with strong comprehension, so after drawing for more than an hour and looking at their crooked talismans, Nan Zitong, Zhao Keke, and Yang Kele gave up.
The three people standing by were Shen Jue, Lu Qingyuan, and Zuo Zuo.
I watched without daring to make a sound, and inwardly marveled at how vast the differences between people could be.
All three of them were skilled in martial arts. From childhood to adulthood, the older cousin was truly proficient in everything, having lived for 25 years, except when he unleashed his true nature in the game. (By "unleashing his true nature," they meant playing the same game as them. In reality, within the game, Lu Qingyuan was also a person true to his true self.)
In real life, he has always been the epitome of composure in the eyes of his elders, a young talent, handsome and outstanding in every way. All these compliments are piled on Lu Qingyuan.
Most of the girls in their circle like Lu Qingyuan, but Lu Qingyuan has a rather aloof personality.
Often, before they could even greet him, they were scared away by Lu Qingyuan's imposing aura.
Come to think of it, their cousin's aura softens when he's around Shen Jue.
After teaming up with Shen Jue, Lu Qingyuan not only didn't scold them or say anything to them, but he also acted as if he were invisible, completely ignoring them.
At first, they couldn't stand it and tested the waters for a while. Once they were sure there were no problems, they completely let loose, enjoying the fun of bickering every day without anyone interfering.
On the table, Shen Jue and the other two were diligently carving.
One talisman after another was born from their brushes.
No one felt that there was anything wrong with their current behavior.
Anyway, no one can see them in this area. No matter how crazy they are or how unreasonable their actions are, no one but them will ever know.
Because they are very tight-lipped and absolutely do not divulge their secrets.
After they finished drawing the last talisman.
Shen Jueyu finally realized where the problem lay in the talisman he had drawn.
Based on the memory of the talisman's operation record.
Each time a small spell array is run, a master control spell is required.
What's strange is that, despite the absence of a main talisman in the array of talismans before us, the formation seems to be gathering together.
The only possibility is that the formation master used other methods to gather these talismans together.
Fortunately, she knew how to draw the master controller character.
It also requires a main talisman to attract the numerous talismans that are densely arranged together.
The talismans drawn earlier are also useful, but without the main talisman, their power will be greatly reduced by half.
Lu Qingyuan stopped writing, one stroke at a time.
Seeing that Shen Jue was still drawing, they had doubts but did not ask any further questions.
Shen Jue is always reliable and trustworthy in his work.
Since she's still drawing talismans, she must have her reasons; they'll just have to wait.
The group waited patiently until Shen Jue drew out the main talisman from their memories.
The others clearly saw a glint of light appear on the cinnabar surface of the talisman, which then vanished in an instant.
The final drawing Shen Jue produced was clearly different from the talismans she had drawn before.
Lu Qingyuan: "What is the purpose of this talisman?"
With his extensive knowledge, he could clearly see that the talisman drawn by Shen Jue was different from other talismans.
"We can control other talismans to form talisman arrays. We can replicate the arrays that bind evil spirits. Then we can deduce and arrange them to find the right method for us."
So that's how it is.
"Now that the talismans are drawn, let's arrange them one by one and compare them with the original positions."
Next, Shen Jue and the others worked busily for another half hour.
They arranged the talismans they had made into an array, with even the positions being almost perfectly aligned. With the last main talisman placed on top, the array began to operate.
The talismans formed a tight connection with each other. Although they couldn't see it, they could sense that the new array with the main talisman was stronger than the one that had trapped the evil creature.
Shen Jue guessed that it was mostly because of the main talisman.
Otherwise, the power of this talisman array wouldn't be so great.
"Use your brains and think of a way to break this formation."
Lu Qingyuan and Zuo Zuo were both involved in the production, so they have their own unique way of thinking about breaking the formation.
Unfortunately, this was because of the addition of the main talisman.
The methods Lu Qingyuan and Zuo Zuo had come up with to break the formation were completely ineffective.
They are not discouraged by failure. Failure is the mother of success. Only by constantly learning from failures can they achieve success next time.
As long as it ensures the safety of their team members and a stable elimination of the target.
Alternatively, you could directly activate the self-destruct channel of the original talisman array to kill this evil creature.
Even if you can't kill it, you can injure or cripple it. As long as you injure or cripple it, you won't be afraid of not having a breakthrough.
While Lu Qingyuan and Zuo Zuo were devising their strategies to break the formation.
The others weren't idle either, because each person acquired different abilities.
Therefore, their scope of responsibilities is also different.
Zhao Keke possesses reconnaissance abilities, so she is responsible for keeping watch for anyone approaching and observing the movements of the trapped creatures.
Nan Zitong possesses a rather unique ability: she has a smattering of prophecy.
Although she wasn't an expert, she could predict how things would unfold.
The prophecy was made, and the predicted outcome was good.
With this good news, they became increasingly confident in their idea of breaking the spell.
As long as their approach is correct, they will have no problem following this path.
We just need to speed things up. Spending almost a whole day here just to clear out a target isn't worth it.
Although there is no time limit for the team's mission progress, they just want to complete as many missions as possible to clear targets.
Yang Kele also has many quirky abilities, and if used well, these abilities can be a great asset.
Like this time, when breaking through the spell channel.
Yang Kele fully demonstrated his quirky abilities.
Indirectly, by analogy.
Although he acquired these two abilities in a perilous manner, the effort and reward were disproportionate, and he would rarely have used them in the past.
I never expected that it would come in handy when breaking the formation.
From a certain perspective, the two abilities he acquired are quite good; it's just that he has very few opportunities to use them.
Not every place has a formation.
However, this ability to infer the correctness of a passage's direction cannot be used in every situation.
And this venue happens to be able to use both abilities.
With Yang Kele's help, they successfully cracked the self-made talisman array and reached its center.
At the center of the formation lay a large wooden block that they had randomly placed inside.
Alternatives, you know!
If we're going to replicate the talisman array, we need to replicate it completely. While we can't recreate evil spirits, we can use other things to replace them.
This makes them feel more immersed when they are deciphering the spell channels.
They won't subconsciously feel that it's fake, and it doesn't matter whether it's cracked or not.
Fortunately, Lady Luck smiled upon them this time, and with Yang Kele's leadership and assistance, the path leading to the middle of the talisman was successfully established.
They were not harmed in any way, and they successfully reached the cube.
To ensure the feasibility of their method, Shen Jue deliberately scrambled the order of the talismans and used the main talisman to continue activating the talisman array.
Then, using Yang Kele's special ability, the passage to the center was reopened.
Moreover, they were completely unharmed. After several attempts, they found no problems and became more and more skilled, with their teamwork becoming increasingly seamless.
Once they've practiced enough, they plan to directly challenge the original talisman array.
Now they face a problem: once they open the passage, they must immediately deal with that evil creature.
Without these talismans to suppress the evil spirit, it will soon be able to break free of its restraints.
It hasn't raised its head yet, and we don't know if it's playing dead or really dead, or what strange abilities it has.
If it's the kind of thing that's manipulative and seductive, then that would be terrible.
They had to consider the worst-case scenario; they had many deadly weapons, but they weren't confident they could kill evil beings.
As Shen Jue was calculating whether she could defeat the evil creature, the result of the divination was auspicious, and the subsequent notification sound gave her a boost of confidence.
(Use your strongest moves against this malevolent creature; you have an 80% chance of winning. Its strength has been greatly weakened over time. If one attack isn't enough, try again; it will be completely wiped out.)
The hints and calculations both told her the final result, and the result was good; they were the victors.
Even though they knew the outcome in advance, they did not let their guard down; underestimating the enemy before battle is a major taboo.
Yang Kele led the way, and they followed behind him, working in perfect harmony to open the original talisman array in front of them. In terms of craftsmanship, this talisman was not as exquisite as the array they had made themselves.
It also lacks detail, so it's not possible. They follow the approach of creating their own formations, slightly shifting left and right to be more flexible.
Carefully and cautiously pass through the first checkpoint.
No problems occurred, great, let's move on.
Maintaining this speed, they quickly reached the center, facing the evil creature that was tightly bound and covered with numerous runes.
Before they could do anything, in the blink of an eye, the evil creature that had been pretending to be dead with its head down suddenly raised its head, its blood-red eyes staring straight into Yang Kele's eyes.
He ordered Yang Kele to use the long knife in his hand to cut the chains and ropes binding him, thus freeing them.
