"What's the problem?" Xu Dingjia asked from the side.
Only then did Duan Fei notice Xu Dingjia's injuries and asked in surprise, "How could you be so seriously injured?"
Xu Dingjia smiled and said, "It took a lot of effort to destroy the evil spell of entering the painting just now."
Duan Fei suddenly said, "It turns out that the stain that appeared on the screen just now was caused by you!"
"What stain?" Jiang Cheng was not in the painting, which sounded very strange.
Xu Dingjia explained, "Time was tight just now, and I didn't have time to explain to you how to destroy this evil spell."
Jiang Cheng said, "Rather than that, it's better to find someone to take care of your wound quickly."
Duan Fei came to his senses and quickly called the camp doctor to treat Xu Dingjia's injuries.
Although the treatment methods of the camp's doctors seemed relatively primitive, their treatment efficiency was much higher than imagined. I don't see what technique the doctor used, but in just two breaths, the wound on Xu Dingjia's forearm was stitched up. Seeing that his life was safe, Xu Dingjia returned to his playful smile and said, "Continuing with the topic just now, don't you want to know how I destroyed the enemy's evil magic?"
Seeing that Xu Dingjia was lively and energetic again, Jiang Cheng also turned his attention away and didn't even bother to reply. He turned to Duan Fei and said, "What is the serious problem you just mentioned?"
Xu Dingjia looked unhappy, but after hearing the next conversation, his expression gradually changed.
An old voice sounded from the side, "Let me explain."
Jiang Cheng turned around and found that the person who came was none other than Zhou Zhimao, who had become a sinner in the camp.
Seeing Zhou Zhimao, Jiang Cheng had some guesses and asked, "What is going on? Could it be related to the forbidden area?"
Zhou Zhimao had just recovered from Liu Jingzhe's evil spell and sat on the ground with difficulty. He looked at the frightened people standing not far away and said, "The secret passage is sealed!"
"How could this happen?" Jiang Cheng asked in shock, "Did Duan Fei's clan leader appointment ceremony fail and he did not obtain the clan leader's authority?"
Zhou Zhimao shook his head and said, "The problem is not the patriarch's authority, but Liu Jingzhe!"
Jiang Cheng asked, "What's going on?"
Zhou Zhimao said, "Do you still remember that Liu Jingzhe immediately blocked our way out of Bilin Mountain after leaving the forbidden area?"
"Yes, this behavior is indeed very strange." Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "I thought it was Liu Jingzhe's unnecessary act. Now that you ask about it, is there another reason?"
"Yes." Zhou Zhimao said thoughtfully, "This situation reminds me of the records in ancient documents. Only the clan leader has the right to view this document, and Duan Fei doesn't know about it yet."
"What on earth is it?" Xu Dingjia was impatient and asked quickly.
Zhou Zhimao replied, "This is the second stage of the final defense of the forbidden area. When Liu Jingzhe is about to break through the restriction, send him between the camp and the outside world to delay Liu Jingzhe's time to break the restriction."
"This... what's going on?" Jiang Cheng didn't understand.
Duan Fei explained, "This is the farthest effective control distance that the ban can reach. It ensures that Liu Jingzhe cannot leave the camp. On the other hand, it also keeps Liu Jingzhe away from the core of the ban, so that the ban will not be directly attacked by him. .”
Xu Dingjia vaguely understood and said, "So, Liu Jingzhe is still restricted by the ban! No wonder when I entered the painting, I saw chains wrapped around Liu Jingzhe's body."
"Chains?" Jiang Cheng frowned. Since breaking away from the evil spell of painting, he only remembered that he saw Liu Jingzhe, but he couldn't remember the details at all.
Shaking his head and stopping thinking about trivial details, Jiang Cheng asked, "What does the passage closure have to do with this?"
Zhou Zhimao said, "Because entering the second stage, all the energy of the forbidden area will be used to protect the forbidden core, so the energy supporting the secret passage has also been diverted, eventually causing the passage to be temporarily closed."
"There are pursuers in front, and there is no way to retreat. If this happens, everyone will be in a deadlock!" Xu Dingjia almost shouted.
Realizing that no one noticed him, Xu Dingjia lowered his voice again and asked, "Is there a way to reopen the passage?"
Zhou Zhimao's face almost twisted together as he said, "Unless we can lift the second stage of the forbidden area."
Hearing that there was still a glimmer of hope, Jiang Cheng hurriedly asked, "How can I get in touch with the second stage?"
Zhou Zhimao said in a deep voice, "Let the judgment system of the forbidden area think that Liu Jingzhe's threat level does not meet the second stage standard."
"That's a bit convoluted." Xu Dingjia frowned. After a while, he thought about it, his expression was as bitter as if he had eaten coptis, and he said, "Doesn't that mean that Liu Jingzhe must be eliminated, or at least seriously injured, in order to reopen the passage?"
After listening to Xu Dingjia's words, Jiang Cheng felt that the situation had reached an extreme level and hurriedly asked Zhou Zhimao, "Is there no other way?"
Zhou Zhimao shook his head and said, "I haven't thought of it yet."
At this moment, Jiang Cheng heard noises from the crowd not far away. Several camp residents seemed to be rushing towards here, but they were stopped by members of the team. Ren Zhifei and Wu Jun ran over and said to Duan Fei, "Oh no, everyone is already making trouble! They are all asking when the evacuation channel will be opened!"
Duan Fei looked confused, but didn't know how to answer.
Jiang Cheng's expression suddenly changed at this time, he stood up and said, "Liu Jingzhe has reached the foot of the mountain!"
Everyone looked at the cliff sentry post in unison.
Something strange happened. They were obviously looking down, but in their field of vision, there was a dull and hazy sky.
The pattering sound rang in his ears, and Jiang Cheng noticed that it was starting to rain. Looking more closely, he suddenly discovered that the rainwater was actually red!
Like blood!
Brutal green lightning pierced the sky, and Jiang Cheng's consciousness couldn't help but tremble.
Not only was he shocked by the sight before him, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that he seemed to have seen this scene before.
"What's this feeling of déjà vu?"
Jiang Cheng hasn't figured it out yet, but his heart is already beating wildly.
In the distant horizon, a figure appeared. Although it was far away, Jiang Cheng could know every detail about the other person.
The clothes are in tatters, the face is handsome and evil, the long hair is dancing in the wind, and there are looming circles of blue light chains wrapped around his body, which are connected to the ground.
"That's Liu Jingzhe! Returning Apostle Liu Jingzhe!"
Jiang Cheng's eyes widened. In his pupils, Liu Jingzhe's shadow began to grow larger again, and his body shape also began to change.
In the swaying rain of blood, a huge figure connected the sky and the earth. It was dark, twisted, and blurry. It was indescribable, but it exuded an aura of extreme terror!
