On the other side, Meng Yue, Xiaohu, Xiaohong, Gong Yu and their team also encountered the tiger.
Seeing tigers everywhere, their scalps tingled and they nearly fainted. It was terrifying! There must be two or three hundred tigers. "This is where we're going to die today," the team members thought desperately.
"Captain, how can we defeat so many tigers?" Xiaohong's team members said in despair.
"Don't be afraid, there is always a way to solve it. Isn't it said that there will always be a way when the car reaches the bridge?" Xiaohua comforted her teammates.
"What can we do? There are only twenty or so of us. How can we possibly defeat two or three hundred tigers?" The team members were not appeased, but became even more desperate.
"Alright, stop saying these negative things; it's ruining everyone's mood. We have to believe that when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. There's no way there are so many tigers around here. They must be playing tricks to scare us," Gong Yu said analytically, looking at the tigers. He found these tigers a bit strange. Although there were many of them, their demeanor and appearance were remarkably similar. He found it incredible. Even twins have their differences, but these tigers seemed identical.
"I agree with Captain Gong. It just feels strange, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is." Meng Yue also looked around at the tigers; she found it too bizarre. Logically, there couldn't be so many tigers around here. They'd already killed quite a few during the assessment, so there couldn't be so many left. Furthermore, this was a formation set by the master, and if it was a formation, it must be different from usual. The master must be using it to confuse them. Despite this feeling, she still hadn't figured out how to break it.
"How about this? Xiaohu and I will lead the team to pretend to fight a tiger, and you two will just watch from the side to find out what's so strange about it." Xiaohong said to Meng Yue and Gong Yu. Among the people here, only these two had a relatively high IQ, and she also believed that Meng Yue and Gong Yu would definitely find a way to break the formation.
"Okay, be careful and don't fight the tiger head-on." Meng Yue felt that Xiaohong was right. Only by fighting with them could she know the reason.
Xiaohong and Xiaohu led their team to fight with the tiger. They saw that they had stabbed the tiger's vital point, but the tiger suddenly disappeared. The team members were shocked and found it too weird.
Meng Yue and Gong Yu were surprised to see the tiger disappear and suddenly reappear in its original position. Suddenly, Gong Yu's mind flashed, and he seemed to understand what it meant.
"Meng Yue, do you still remember what the master once said about the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation?" Gong Yu asked Meng Yue.
"Remember, what does this have to do with this... Wait, are you saying these tigers are arranged according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams formation?" After hearing what Gong Yu said, Meng Yue began to understand why the tigers would disappear and then return to their original positions. This was due to the illusion within the formation. As long as the real tigers were killed, the phantom tigers would naturally disappear.
"Bingo, that's the reason." Gong Yu said happily.
"I understand. I'll ask Xiaohong and Xiaohu to help kill the real tiger as soon as possible. If it takes too long, the team members will consume too much energy. There is still a level to overcome." Meng Yue knew how to find a way to break the formation, so she made a quick decision to divide the work and cooperate.
"Okay, let's do as you say." Gong Yu also knew that it would be bad for the team members if it dragged on for too long.
"Xiaohu, Xiaohong, do you still remember the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation that the master mentioned?" Meng Yue asked Xiaohong and Xiaohu.
"I remember, what's wrong?" Xiaohong said while killing the tiger.
"This formation is arranged according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. As long as the real tiger in the Nine Palaces is killed, the formation can be broken." Meng Yue explained.
"Okay, Xiaohu and I will be responsible for killing the tigers in Xun Palace, Li Palace, Kun Palace, and Dui Palace, and the rest will be left to you and Gong Yu." Xiaohong also understood what was wrong. It turned out to be the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation.
"Okay, it's decided." After Meng Yue finished speaking, she began to look for the first palace, Gan Palace, and fought with the tiger standing in Gan Palace.
Everyone knew how to break the formation, and they worked together to kill the real tiger. The rest of the phantom tigers disappeared as the real tiger died.
Apart from the real tiger and the flowing blood, there was nothing but empty land.
"Congratulations on breaking the formation successfully. You can take a rest and wait for the third team to break through. Then we will start the third level." Yang Youxue stood outside the formation and said to the people inside who had broken through the formation.
"Master, have you been watching us break the formation?" Gong Yu asked happily when he heard Yang Youxue's voice.
"Yes, Gong Yu, you did a good job this time. You remained calm and composed and were not affected by the outside world." Yang Youxue praised Gong Yu.
"It's all thanks to my master's good teaching." Gong Yu said modestly.
"I hope you can still be so calm and composed when you challenge the third level tomorrow." Yang Youxue was very satisfied that Gong Yu was not proud.
"The next day, master, can we go out today?" Gong Yu said in surprise. Almost a day passed like this.
"No, you will spend the night in the formation. You can come out after passing the third level tomorrow." Yang Youxue said.
"Master, how long have we been in the formation? Why don't we feel hungry?" Meng Yue asked Yang Youxue.
"Today is the second day because I added some nutrient solution to the air you breathe so that you won't feel hungry." Yang Youxue explained why they were not hungry.
