After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 288 Deserve it

Jiang Rong had acted swiftly, grabbing a Qiankun bag from a dead fellow disciple while escaping from a secondary formation. The Qiankun bag was now ownerless, and the pills inside had been of great help to him.

With these medicines, Jiang Rong can hold on for a while longer, but relying solely on pills would be like sitting around eating away at a mountain of resources. He must find an effective way to break the formation!

So far, he and his remaining disciples have passed through five sub-formations. The way they passed through them was hard to describe, and it could be said that they relied entirely on the lives of their fallen comrades to help them open them.

The initial breakthroughs were partly due to luck, but now the formation is getting increasingly difficult, and the number of remaining people is dwindling. Trying to rely on luck again seems unlikely...

"Gao Zheng, you come and break the formation."

Jiang Rong tilted his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, which was from a tooth that had just fallen out.

He called out the name of a disciple, who was holding an array plate in his hand, and it was obvious that the disciple was an array master.

But Gao Zheng, whose name was called, took a step back in a panic and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, I can't do it, my skills are not good enough..."

Compared to other skills, array masters are actually the fewest in number, and some array masters switch to specializing in talismans halfway through their careers.

Because formations are not used frequently, and setting them up often takes a lot of time, larger formations can be counted by hours or even days, which is almost impossible in battle!
Because there are too many restrictions in practice, many array masters have lost confidence in it and feel that it is better to become a talisman master, at least they can throw a few talismans to save their lives in battle.

Moreover, even if you make the talisman on the spot, it's much faster than setting up an array, isn't it?
This disciple named Gao Zheng used to be an array master, but he switched to a talisman master. Knowing that he was only a half-baked one, he dared not show off at this time.

Jin Feng glared at him fiercely, "Can't? You've survived this long only because we protected you. If you can't, then we'll just abandon you!"

The team originally had an excellent array master, surnamed Lin, who came from a family with a long tradition of array formation.

However, the man was also stunned by the Divine Joy Wood at the gate, his eyes filled with surprise, and he never expected that this thing would be related to the formation.

Then, in the first sub-array, he lost his life.

The incident happened too suddenly, probably because his combat power was almost zero. Before the people around him could react and protect him, he was already dead.

It wasn't until after his death that others remembered what the Divine Joy Wood meant, but by then it was too late; saying anything more would just be hindsight.

If this Lin Zhenshi were still alive, there might still be hope of breaking out of the formation, but he's gone, and the rest are just a rabble. Gao Zheng is already the best of the worst.

Although he has only played a small role in one sub-unit so far, the whole team regards him as the hope of the entire village, and everyone works together to protect him, which is why they have come this far.

Without the protection of others, he wouldn't have survived even the second sub-array!

Upon hearing Jin Feng's words, Gao Zheng panicked immediately, "Then, then I'll try again..."

"Ready? Let's go."

As Jiang Rong spoke, he took the lead and crossed the line in front, stepping into the next sub-formation.

As soon as he entered, he was enveloped by a suffocating feeling. Water rushed into his seven orifices, and he gulped down a large mouthful before belatedly reaching into his storage bag to retrieve the Water-Repelling Pearl. This was actually a Water-Trapping Array!
The Water-Trapping Formation is like throwing a person directly into a river. This space is completely filled with water from top to bottom, airtight, and there is no place to breathe.

To get out, you either have to struggle to the exit of the sub-array and find your way to the next sub-array.

Alternatively, we could simply find the core of the formation and break it directly!
There is a large array in this house, which contains several sub-arrays. There is only one array eye to break the main array, and its location is still unknown.

Previously, they could only painstakingly break through the enemy's formations, and it was only through this process that they gradually made it to where they are now.

However, this array seemed to have no end; once one was completed, another would appear. If one stayed put, the array would be refreshed at any time, requiring it to be broken again.

This is really driving people crazy!
Jiang Rong successfully retrieved the water-repelling pearl, but before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, his expression changed drastically—

The water-repellent beads were completely ineffective!
The formations here are so powerful that they are beyond my comprehension. I'm afraid only a few top formation families on the continent can barely reach this level!
At this moment, Jiang Rong's regret reached its peak. If he had known this would happen, he would never have brought his fellow disciples into this place!

He absolutely had to get out. Only by obtaining enough treasures to return to the sect could he save his own life. Otherwise, having caused such a huge mess, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.

The greater the greed, the greater the danger they will face. This disaster is truly what they deserve!
He was somewhat envious of the disciples of the Immortal Sect, who had managed to avoid this dangerous place with only minor injuries—what a blessing!
Now is not the time to think about that. If we want to break the formation, we can only place our last hope on Gao Zheng.

Jiang Rong gritted her teeth, held her breath, and swam to Gao Zheng, grabbing his shirt from the back.

In this way, Gao Zheng wouldn't have to expend energy swimming; he could just pull him along, and all he needed to do was break the formation as quickly as possible!
Gao Zheng, his face ashen, pointed to the water-repelling bead in his hand at Jiang Rong.

He also took out the water-repelling bead and discovered that it was ineffective, and he almost cried.

Seeing this, Jiang Rong coldly slapped him across the face. Gao Zheng was jolted back to his senses by the pain and looked at Jiang Rong in astonishment.

"Break the formation!"

Jiang Rong silently moved his lips, offering a reminder.

For cultivators, holding their breath for a while is not a problem. The reason why everyone is desperate is not because they need to hold their breath, but because they don't know how long they can last.

Some people may have had special talismans, which they thought would be ineffective in this water, but unexpectedly they actually worked.

Those who used the talisman briefly regained their breathing, felt as if they were walking on flat ground, and let out a long sigh of relief.

However, there are only a few of these talismans, so they won't last long.

Seeing this, Jiang Rong had the man pull Gao Zheng away and watch Gao Zheng break the formation.

Gao Zheng was sweating profusely, though it was invisible in the water. He didn't care about that anymore; he knew that if he couldn't break the formation, he would surely die. So he decided to fight to the death!
He bit his finger and dripped the blood onto the array plate in his hand. The array plate emitted specks of red light, flashing intermittently, seemingly pointing to a certain point.

The array plate can only last for a quarter of an hour. During this quarter of an hour, its sensitivity will increase greatly, which is the best time to find the array's core.

If they still can't find it within a quarter of an hour... then without the array plate, they will have completely lost any chance of breaking the array.
