"Boss, it's impossible to pump water. Not to mention that we don't have the ability to do it, even if we do it, we don't know when it will take. We can't wait."
"The worst option won't work either. That woman tried it before and many people died. It's too dangerous."
"The middle strategy sounds reliable. If she is willing to lead the charge and we stay outside to break the formation, then we should choose the middle strategy."
After some analysis, the Liu brothers gave a pertinent answer.
“That makes so much sense.”
Zhu Bo rolled his eyes and listened to what you said as if he were listening to a speech.
He was thinking that with more people, more wisdom, and the two brothers would be able to give constructive suggestions, but in the end, it was the same as saying nothing!
He also knew that the middle strategy was the best, but would She Xuan be willing to put herself in danger and leave them outside to break the formation
How is that possible!
Even a fool knows that the formation is extremely dangerous. If you go in, it would be like an old man making a coffin, and you will not live long.
"Commander Zhu, have you reached an agreement?" She Xuan urged.
"We've discussed it."
Zhu Bo said unhappily, "Choose the middle strategy. You go in and die, and we stay outside to break the formation. The gains will be divided equally among you all."
"In this case, our lives will be in the hands of Commander Zhu." She Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Sister She, are you serious?!"
“It’s natural.”
"Wait... Wait a minute, let me think about it."
Zhu Bo was stunned when he heard this. His sarcastic tone was just an opportunity to mock She Xuan, but he never expected that the other party would really agree to it.
This put him in a dilemma.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. He understood this principle, and She Xuan was no exception. She agreed straightforwardly, and she must have something to rely on.
If he retreated for a moment and caused this trip to the underground palace to be in vain, he would have to draw his sword to gain any benefit, which would be a loss of both face and money, and was absolutely not advisable.
You can go in by yourself...
What if She Xuan was deliberately trying to deceive him by retreating in order to advance? If he changed his mind and agreed, wouldn't he just fall into her trap
It’s inappropriate. You should never do anything that would make things difficult for others.
Let’s go in together
Even more inappropriate!
"Commander Zhu, have you thought it through?"
She Xuan joked that the calmer she was, the more Zhu Bo would not know how to choose.
"Boss."
At this time, Liu Xiong from the Liu family secretly pulled Zhu Bo's sleeve and gave him a wink.
Bro, this woman is unfathomable, we two brothers will help you!
After exchanging glances, Zhu Bo understood immediately and came up with an idea in his mind: "Sister She, we agreed to cooperate on this trip. I can't just let you lead the team and take risks. I have to do my part as well."
"Commander Zhu, are you going to join me in the battle?"
"I want to, but I have to stay and break the formation."
Zhu Bo shook his head in embarrassment, pointed at Liu Xiong and Liu Meng and said, "My two brothers will go into the battle with Sister She, and you can leave two people behind with Sister She as well."
"Commander Zhu is cautious."
She Xuan smiled and raised her hand to point at two people in the team: "Fei Long, Fat Tiger, you two stay and watch Commander Zhu. Be careful. If he moves a little slower, I will be dead."
Two tall and thin men walked out of the team. They had long arms and legs and ordinary faces.
A truly ordinary face.
After the two teams exchanged personnel, She Xuan took a deep breath and asked the strong man to lead the way, and then stepped into the fog one by one. The Liu brothers did not dare to stay for long, and disappeared into the fog under Zhu Bo's sight of taking care of himself.
After the group of people disappeared, Zhu Bo waved his hand and took out a wolf-tooth pen. While observing the changes in the fog, he wrote on the ground to measure the eight directions.
The fog was dispersing without a trace, and there was no way to escape amidst the layers of murderous intent. After just a few breaths, Zhu Bo stopped in a sweat as his cultivation base was rapidly depleted.
"What a weird demon cultivator! I have studied Qimen formations for many years. I dare not say that I have mastered all the formations in the world, but I have already mastered the principles of formations. I have never seen such an unreasonable formation. This... This is unreasonable!"
Zhu Bo was shocked and said, "Is it that the level of formations a thousand years ago was far superior to today, or am I just not well-educated and can't recognize this strange formation principle?"
As he said this, he seemed unwilling to accept the result and concentrated all his attention on calculating how to break the formation.
On both sides, Roban's eyes widened, he raised his hand to hold the hilt of the knife, and took a step forward to block Zhu Bo.
Lu Bei's hair stood on end, and he drew out his black gold straight knife to protect himself. Even so, he still felt several cold gazes on him, and the bone-chilling chill lingered. He had one foot in the gate of hell and his life was in danger at any time.
He stepped back cautiously, standing back to back with Roban, and quickly scanned the surroundings, but saw nothing.
"Front, back, left, right?"
"None, that's for sure."
"Me too. The top is mine. You should be careful of the bottom."
"good."
The two communicated quickly, and a strong sense of crisis came over them. Roban raised his hand, grabbed Zhu Bo's collar, and lifted him up from the ground.
The actions of the two were seen by Feilong and Fat Tiger. They subconsciously thought that their allies had betrayed them, so they drew their weapons and walked over angrily.
At this moment, the void began to shake continuously, and an invisible sharp blade attacked from behind, piercing through Feilong's chest, spurting out large amounts of blood.
With blood splattered all over his face, Fat Tiger was horrified and ran towards Roban with a look of horror. He was dragged by an invisible force from the void and flew high into the sky.
Pass through the wall.
Illusion array!
Lu Bei and Luo Ban took a deep breath, thinking that they were safe outside the formation, but they never expected that they were already inside the formation without knowing it.
The two men pulled back and plunged into the fog.
In an instant, the scenery in front changed drastically. The stone passage disappeared, and in its place was a huge underground cave that was a hundred meters long and wide. Above his head, a giant beast woke up from hibernation, baring its fangs to enjoy the food.
It was a giant spider hanging upside down, several meters in size, with eyes glowing faintly. On its black back, a golden human face was extremely eye-catching.
Unlike the spiders Lu Bei knew, this giant spider ate meat instead of drinking soup. The proportion of its mouthparts to its head was astonishing. At this moment, it was holding half of the corpse in its mouth and chewing it with a crunching sound.
The chewing sound was so thrilling and crunchy that I couldn't tell whether it was Fat Dragon or Fat Tiger.
While eating, the giant spider slowly crawled towards the top of Lu Bei and the other two.
Roban stretched out his hand and four flying knives with cold light shot out, hitting the giant spider with a clang, and flames exploded. There was no trace of scar on the body, but the surrounding hanging stone spikes were affected by the explosion, shaking the whole cave.
"That's a golden Buddha statue... a spider?!"
Zhu Bo, who had been in a daze, came to his senses and shouted in disbelief.
Roban's body trembled, as if he had heard of the spider's vicious reputation. He grabbed Zhu Bo's collar and turned around and ran away without saying a word.
At the same time, Lu Bei had already run fifty meters away.
[Side quest: Destroy the Buddha-faced Golden Body Spider and be rewarded according to your contribution]
The long-awaited side quest came, but Lu Bei was not happy at all. After watching an explosion special effect on the spot and hearing the resounding name of the giant spider, he knew that he could not stay here for long.
Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one. He doesn't want to end up like Feilong and Fat Tiger, who will end up like shit in three days.
