"How do we stop them?" Zhong Jiu asked, holding a knife that could be drawn at any moment, his eyes dark and menacing, his aura intimidating.
Fu Yunchen glanced at him and asked Qiao Dongzi, "What's wrong with him?"
Qiao Dongzi whispered to Fu Yunchen, "Boss, he went to the inn yesterday and did *that* with Yao Yao after drinking. Afterwards, he poured his heart out to Yao Yao, but she rejected him."
Fu Yunchen raised an eyebrow in surprise and lowered his voice to ask, "You got ripped off?"
Qiao Dongzi grinned mischievously, "The boss is right!"
"You...you could speak a little louder," Zhong Jiu said, annoyed.
Fu Yunchen patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Don't be discouraged. Huanhuan's mother and I also got on the boat first, and we ended up traveling the same way."
As Zhong Jiu listened to Fu Yunchen's words, and having witnessed firsthand the hardships he and Mu Run had endured, as well as the endless stream of children now jumping out of the house, his eyes gradually hardened. "Yes!"
Qiao Dongzi glanced at Zhong Jiu and chuckled to himself.
Zhong Jiu dodged past and kicked him in the butt. "What are you laughing at? Get over there and figure something out."
Qiao Dongzi was kicked by Zhong Jiu and landed right in front of the summoning circle, barely stopping just past the outermost layer of the strange barrier.
"Damn it! You're trying to kill me!" Qiao Dongzi was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Enough with the nonsense." Zhong Jiu said solemnly, "Hurry up and see how to break the formation. You've always had a lot of clever ideas, maybe you'll just stumble upon something by sheer luck."
"You're the one who's blind." Instead, he obediently bent down, picked up a millstone-sized rock, and hurled it at the summoning circle.
The outermost barrier of the summoning circle suddenly emitted a faint red light, and the millstone-sized stone visibly turned into dust, flying into the air and disappearing.
Bai Shalu brought a truckload of explosives and happened to witness the scene of the stones turning into dust.
"That's so weird."
Fu Yunchen said to Bai Shalu, "It seems that whatever is inside this summoning circle wants to come out no matter what."
“My lord,” Zhong Jiu said to Fu Yunchen, “During my travels, I visited the place where the corpses first appeared. There was a ruin there, and some rocks had patterns that looked like array diagrams.”
"oh?"
“I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. It wasn’t until I discovered this summoning circle that I sent people to that ruin to find those stones with array patterns and runes.”
"Have you finished piecing together the picture?"
“There’s only a small portion right now.” Zhong Jiu took a piece of paper out of his waist pocket.
Fu Yunchen accepted it.
The paper contained a fragmented diagram, so incomplete that it was impossible to discern what it represented. However, when compared to the diagram in a summoning circle, there were some similarities.
Tea treasures fell from the sky.
It landed on Fu Yunchen's shoulder and transformed into a little white kitten, meowing.
Fu Yunchen said unhappily, "...Get down!"
He wasn't like Mu Run and Huan Huan, who liked to pamper and spoil it.
Cha Bao seemed not to hear, and raised its hind paw to scratch its ear. "Aren't you a descendant of the Witch King Clan? The Witch King's blood has the power to break formations. With your blood, we might be able to stop the summoning."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" If he had said so earlier, he would have kept Long Qian, who is of pure Witch King blood.
Tea Treasure said, "I just remembered that too."
Fu Yunchen raised his hand and lightly flicked its nose. "Next time, say something in advance."
"Meow! If Runrun hadn't asked me to take care of you, I wouldn't have told you. What does the survival of the Relic Continent have to do with me? I'm not the mountain god here."
"You've certainly enjoyed plenty of the delicious food here."
Cha Bao fell silent; indeed, he was indebted to those who fed him.
"...Never mind, here you go."
He opened his mouth and spat out a rather tattered-looking black ancient sword.
Fu Yunchen reached out and caught it, a strange look flashing in his eyes. "What sword?"
