Chapter 1142 Magician Breaks the Formation
Quickly, the thousand-man Dare-to-Die Squad led by Zuo Jiang was fully assembled, and the ten magicians began leading them into the formation.
Yuwen Jun, hiding in the shadows, merely watched all this indifferently.
"Master, will they succeed?" a shadow asked in the darkness.
Yuwen Jun chuckled lightly, "These ten master magicians are not to be trifled with. If it's truly the Five-Linked Rings Formation, they will surely break it. I'm just afraid it's not the Five-Linked Rings Formation, then it would be hard to say."
If he hadn't previously ventured deep into Witch Ancestor Mountain and seen those mythical Immortals' handbooks, he would also believe these people could handle it.
However, he has been exposed to a world completely different from now, the legendary coexistence of Immortals and mortals, where humans can also command wind, rain, thunder, lightning, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
He used to think it was all just myths, but when he really... In short, Yuwen Jun has completely overturned his previous understanding now.
And this great formation, rather than saying it's the Five-Linked Rings Formation, it's more like the spell formations of those demi-immortals in Witch Ancestor Mountain.
Of course, this is something he would absolutely never reveal.
Since Yuwen Feng excluded him, why should he bother to curry favor?
"You stay here and cover for me."
Yuwen Jun said, then donned a cloak and left the room.
At this moment, the magicians observed their surroundings as they advanced into the jungle. Even though those trees had been chopped down completely, the stumps remained in place.
Looking at these stumps, the magicians said, "This is indeed the Misdirection Tracing Array. If it wasn't for the earlier logging, there would actually be a way out. Unfortunately, all the trees were cut down, and the way out turned into a dead end."
Zuo Jiang listened and was filled with regret. However, at the time, they didn't think much of it and just treated it as an ordinary Misdirection Tracing Array.
Generally, when facing a peculiar formation and subtlety can't break it, they would opt for brute force.
Who knew these formations were interlinked? Had they known earlier, they wouldn't have cut down the trees.
The wisdom of hindsight is priceless, and now everyone can just ruefully look at the door.
A thousand people advanced under the magicians' guidance and soon reached near the Bamboo Pit.
This marked Yuwen Feng's third exploration of the jungle. With the experience of predecessors, they roughly estimated the Bamboo Pit's location and didn't go further. Instead, they found large stones and threw them forward.
Sure enough, when the stones hit the ground, their weight triggered the trap.
With a landslide ahead, the sound of air tearing gradually approached, the arrow feathers were upon them.
The Dare-to-Die Squad immediately raised the shields they carried to block, and the magicians began calculating a way out.
Finally, before the stakes emerged, they calculated several places to land safely.
"Quick, let's hide behind these trees!"
Saying this, the magicians quickly dispersed to five surrounding points.
The Dare-to-Die Squad swiftly followed, though some inevitably got hit by arrows during their escape, yet they couldn't care and ran with all their might.
Just as they hid behind the large trees, the thick stakes shot out. But, strangely, there indeed seemed to be blind spots here, and those stakes charged blindly, actually avoiding these five spots.
As for the arrow feathers, though they indiscriminately scattered everywhere, these people used the trees for cover, and with the shields for blocking, they indeed managed to avoid them.
Although they couldn't move forward, they could at least hunker down here, avoiding being forced back.
As long as they're not forced back, they won't fall into quicksand, greatly increasing their chances of survival.
