The old man then waved his hand again, and several more demons came up from the stage. These people moved all the tables in front of the contestants away.
Su Yao and Ning Jing were both a little curious about what was going on.
After all the tables were moved away, the old man continued, "For the second round, I will set up a trap in the center of the field. All of you will enter this trap together, and then you will have to find a way to escape! The time limit is one hour."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man walked to the center of the competition stage and began to draw a formation. As time passed, the old man's action was completed, and a huge formation appeared on the ground.
In fact, before the old man finished drawing, Su Yao and Ning Jing had already figured out the formation he was going to draw. The formation the old man was going to draw was exactly the trapping formation most commonly used by the immortals.
People trapped in a formation are often deceived by the illusions generated inside. Therefore, if they want to get out of the formation, they must not only find the eye of the formation, but also be mentally strong to resist the illusions created by the formation.
This may be difficult for the demons, but it is easy for Su Yao and Ning Jing.
Su Yao and Ning Jing looked at each other, and both understood what the other was thinking.
The old man spoke quickly, asking them to enter the formation one after another, and instructed them not to use any spells in the formation to avoid hurting others.
Soon, everyone entered the formation. As soon as Su Yao entered the formation, she felt like she had stepped into an endless grassland. However, this formation was too low-level, and the illusion it produced was fake so she could tell at a glance that it was fake.
The problem she was struggling with now was whether she should pretend for a while longer, pretending that she was trapped by the illusion of the formation. After considering it over and over again, she decided to pretend.
Looking at Ning Jing's side, the situation was similar to Su Yao's. What appeared in front of her were endless hills. She couldn't help but hold her forehead. Even if she was pretending, it would be difficult to pretend, so she simply gave up pretending and broke the illusion in front of her first, and then went to find Su Yao to meet up.
At the same time, Su Yao was trying hard to pretend to be trapped by an illusion, so that she didn't notice in time when someone suddenly appeared behind her. Until the person behind her put a hand on her shoulder, she was frightened by the sudden appearance of the hand and almost screamed.
But Su Yao reacted quickly and turned around quickly. When she saw that the person who suddenly appeared behind her was Ning Jing, she relaxed and said unhappily, "Jingjing, you want to scare me to death, right? You almost scared me to death."
Ning Jing saw that Su Yao's reaction was indeed frightened by her, and then she smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "Hahaha, sorry, I didn't expect you didn't notice me coming over. I don't know what happened just now, and I inexplicably broke the illusion of this trapped formation."
When Su Yao heard her deliberately emphasize the tone when she said the word "inexplicably", she instantly understood her intention. Isn't this just pretending to be innocent? Su Yao said that she had learned it too.
"Jingjing, luckily you showed up suddenly, otherwise I would have been trapped in that illusion for a long time." She was just pretending to be innocent, but she could do it!
The old man on the stage had already seen Ning Jing's actions. After discovering that she quickly saw through the illusion of the formation, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. If there weren't so many people in the audience, he would have laughed out loud even if he didn't jump up.
But the next second he heard the conversation between the two little girls in the formation. The old man couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Well, he was happy for nothing. It seemed that their ability to see through the illusion of the formation was an accident. So the old man no longer paid attention to them and turned his gaze to the other people in the formation.
But what disappointed him was that, except for the two little girls who accidentally broke the illusion, everyone else in the formation still looked immersed in it. The old man couldn't help but sigh secretly. It seemed that the chances of finding an excellent formation master this year would be greatly reduced.
Unlike the old man's disappointment, Nalan Jingyue and Xu Fuyi had already noticed the little actions of Su Yao and the others in the audience. How could they not see through these little tricks? Nalan Jingyue and Xu Fuyi looked at each other, their expressions seemingly unchanged, but they were both trying to hold back their laughter.
After Su Yao and Ning Jing on the stage finished making up, they quietly began to communicate.
"Jingjing, you almost scared me to death. I was just pretending to be trapped by an illusion, and I was getting better and better, but you suddenly interrupted me. It was really embarrassing. Now I can't find the state I was just now!" Su Yao frowned.
"I didn't want to come to you so soon, but this formation is really rubbish, and you can tell it's fake at first glance. That's why I wanted to come and discuss it with you first! But I don't think you need to be in the same state as just now, because I think the frown on your face now makes you look like you're trapped in the formation." Ning Jing gave her opinion seriously.
"Really? Then I'll keep it like this." When Su Yao said this, she put one hand on her chest and the other hand on her chin, as if she was thinking seriously.
"That's right, that's it. Keep this posture, I'll do it too!" Ning Jing also imitated Su Yao and started to make the movements.
To people outside the formation, this scene looked like they were stumped by the formation.
Time passed quickly, and there was only a quarter of an hour left. Just when Su Yao and Ning Jing could no longer hold on, someone around them finally succeeded in breaking the formation and walked out.
The two of them quietly looked at the people standing around them. They found that everyone had already figured out the formation, but only one person could break through the formation and walk out alone. Fortunately, not long after, two more people successfully walked out of the formation. Seeing that there was not much time left, Su Yao and Ning Jing stopped pretending.
They also followed him out of the formation one after another. Only after they walked out of the formation did they sigh with relief. Not long after they walked out, the second round of competition ended.
Only Su Yao and two other demons were left on the stage.
The old man stepped forward and released the people who were still trapped in the formation. The people inside looked at Su Yao and the other three standing in front of them, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. It was such a pity, they were almost able to win the competition.
If Ning Jing heard this, she would have to complain that this person was too arrogant. With this level of ability, he dared to dream that he could win the competition.
The old man chased these people off the competition stage. After they had left, the old man slowly spoke, "Haha, congratulations to the four of you for passing the second round of competition. However, only three contestants can win the final round this time, so you still have to participate in the third round. However, the third round will not be so easy, so you must be mentally prepared."
