"Are we just going in with the three of us?" Ruan Ling looked at Nearby, and among the nine people in the Squad, only Ziyu and Lan Bing'er were still standing with him.
"I'll go too!" Li Xuan glanced at Ziyu, who was standing next to Lan Bing'er, gritted his teeth, and walked over.
"He's still somewhat of a man," Ziyu said with a slight smile, touching Lan Bing'er beside her. "Bing'er, this Li Xuan isn't bad after all."
"I..." Lan Bing'er blushed, wanting to say something, but she opened her mouth without making a sound.
"Alright, for the rest of you, since you don't want to go, I won't force you. But don't leave here; we can't afford any accidents."
Ruan Ling briefly instructed before facing the formation ahead with Ziyu and the others.
Wudao Hall is naturally where one seeks enlightenment, and before achieving that enlightenment, one must pass through these challenges to qualify for it.
"Let's go in... everyone get a bit closer," Ruan Ling said and took the lead to step forward.
"Captain, please wait a moment..." Ziyu quickly intercepted. "Actually, it might be better for us to separate..."
"What do you mean by that?" Ruan Ling looked at Ziyu.
"It's like this..."
Ziyu explained that if what lay ahead was an Illusion Array, many illusions could appear, even causing everyone to lose composure and start attacking due to the illusions. However, if the space remained unchanged and two people were too close together, they might accidentally injure each other. The pain from such accidental injuries could enhance the realism of the environment...
If it were a Confinement Formation, they wouldn't be able to see each other at all; there would be barriers between them.
And if it were a Killing Formation... while being together provides some support, whether they could withstand a Killing Formation isn't determined by simply having more people.
So overall, being together is not very advantageous.
"Since that's the case... let's act separately and avoid taking unnecessary risks." Ruan Ling pondered for a moment and found it reasonable.
"But everything is still unknown, so everyone must be careful," Ziyu reminded again.
Ziyu actually thought more comprehensively and had more concerns. Both approaches had their drawbacks, but comparatively speaking, acting separately was somewhat better.
Wudao Hall was quite large, and with four people dispersed, the distance between adjacent individuals was at least ten meters. After separating, they exchanged glances and moved forward.
"Bing'er, I really don't want you to take risks," Ziyu suddenly said. Lan Bing'er, ten meters away, shivered and looked at Ziyu.
"You’re coming in later, how can I let you outdo me?" Lan Bing'er smiled slightly. She saw the determination in Ziyu's eyes and knew that Ziyu would definitely go in, so Lan Bing'er also had a resolute look in her eyes... she wanted to go in with Ziyu.
Ziyu had always regarded Lan Bing'er as a younger sister, so he genuinely did not want her to be harmed.
"Be sure to be careful; I hope you can gain something." During the time he had known Lan Bing'er, Ziyu understood that once she made up her mind, it was unchangeable.
Even if Ziyu withdrew now, Lan Bing'er would still continue forward.
"Don't worry; I'm definitely stronger than you," Lan Bing'er said with a grin as she stepped forward.
Before the four of them could take a few steps inside, the space was suddenly enveloped by an unshakeable mist, making it impossible for anyone to see what was inside.
"I can't see anything," Ziyu said as he looked towards Nearby. There was nothing visible; Nearby appeared like a white liquid that could not be seen through.
"There's nothing here, it should be the Confinement Formation now..." Ziyu smiled slightly, sitting on the Ground, quietly waiting for a change.
The Confinement Formation is meant to trap people, so rushing forward blindly is of no use.
"The Confinement Formation usually doesn't appear alone..." Ziyu knew that the Confinement Formation should be used in conjunction with other types of formations to be effective; of course, pairing it with the Killing Formation would be the best choice.
Without an Illusion Array or a Confinement Formation to support it, the Killing Formation can easily be broken.
"Rain... is this an illusion? It feels so real." Ziyu reached out and touched the suddenly falling rain around her, feeling the coolness as if it were real.
"The falling rain truly has no sense of falseness; it really is an illusion..." Ziyu sighed, currently in shock and not thinking at all about how to escape.
"Slap..." A drop of rain turned into a fine line and landed on Ziyu's fingertip, surprisingly giving her a slight sting.
"Is this an illusion...?" Ziyu wondered inwardly.
"Swish swish..." Drops of rain fell on Ziyu's body, feeling icy yet refreshing, but some of the water genuinely caused her pain.
"Swish..." Finally, a fine drop of rain grazed Ziyu's cheek, actually scraping her skin and startling her awake.
"This shouldn't just be an Illusion Array and a Confinement Formation; the Killing Formation must also be here," Ziyu became alert.
Among these raindrops, some are illusions while others are attacks from the Killing Formation.
"If the rain is a method of attack from the Killing Formation, or if the attacks from the Killing Formation are concealed within the rain by the Illusion Array, then simple defenses will definitely not suffice," Ziyu pondered.
Currently, Ziyu is only equipped with a Karlock Metal Armor, which can be considered a form of defense. However, the Killing Formation left behind by Senior Xiang Yu is definitely not something that Kallok Metal can withstand.
“Mystical Arts, Universal Flame!” A common Mystical Arts was unleashed by Ziyu.
Universal Flame is a fire-based Cultivation Method that envelops the user in blazing flames.
Although this is a simple first-level Cultivation Method, it is more than sufficient against water.
“Zzz…” The Illusion Array should also adhere to a certain level of realism, so as the raindrops fall and approach Ziyu, they evaporate.
“Ah…” As the rain continues to fall, Ziyu actually feels pain; the attacking power of the raindrops seems to have increased and is completely unaffected by fire.
“Right, this is an illusion; these raindrops are disguised forms of attack…” Ziyu suddenly realizes.
The rain attack does not come from the rain itself but rather another type of attack cloaked in raindrops, which means it is not afraid of being scorched by fire…
On the contrary, if the true nature of this attack resembles metallic needles, being burned by flames would actually enhance its power.
“Must I rely on hard defense…” Ziyu feels troubled…
If she passively uses her Battle Armor to endure these attacks, there’s no doubt that Ziyu will be at a disadvantage in an instant… Passive defense is certainly a losing strategy, and Ziyu believes that the attacking formation left by her friend Xiang Yu is definitely not just meant to cause superficial injuries.
“The rain is getting heavier…” Ziyu observes that it isn’t raining in the distance, but as she moves there, the rain follows her.
“This rain exists specifically to target me; I cannot find the Formation Base of this rain. Then… I’ll just run out of its effective range.” Ziyu grits her teeth. Although this room is large, it is not infinite; there must be a limit.
"Ah..." A drop of rain truly brought Ziyu a bone-chilling pain. When that thin line of rain fell on Ziyu, it caused a sharp pain, and a drop of fresh blood oozed from the shoulder.
"Battle Armor activated!" A thought crossed Ziyu's mind, and the Kallok Metal hidden within Ziyu's body emerged, forming the Battle Armor that resisted all attacks.
"The attack power of this rain accumulates gradually. Right now, it's still manageable, but if the intensity of the rain's attack exceeds the tolerance of the Karlock Metal Armor later on, that would be troublesome," Ziyu thought. "I wonder how Bing'er is doing. I hope it's not too difficult for her."
"I need to find a way out. The Killing Formation is straightforward, but I have no idea how to deal with the Confinement Formation and the Illusion Array," Ziyu shook his head, contemplating strategies.
"Crack, crack..." About half an hour later, the Kallok Metal emitted sounds; the previously indestructible Kallok Metal had developed cracks.
"It's about to give in," Ziyu felt anxious. All the energy of the Battle Armor was activated as he flew in one direction.
"If I can exceed the maximum speed at which the rain clouds follow me, it will be much simpler." The Power System of the Violet Feather Armor was already operating at overload, so increasing speed again would likely be difficult.
The current intensity of the rain's attack should be able to penetrate one centimeter of Kallok Metal. I can completely offset this kind of attack through wireless replication without much pressure.
"What’s happening inside? There’s no sound." The remaining five members of the outside Squad looked at the white smoke not far away, glancing at each other, hesitant to act recklessly.
The formation not only trapped the four but also cut off all external contact.
"We have no choice but to wait here..." The five members shook their heads helplessly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It’s been several hours already; why aren’t they coming out?" The five outside had grown somewhat anxious, but there was nothing they could do. The formation showed no significant changes, indicating that those inside were still alive.
Within the formation.
"There’s absolutely no way out..." Ziyu felt a sense of despair. The rain clouds could not be shaken off, and the intensity of the rain attack was now strong enough to instantly penetrate over ten centimeters of Kallok Metal. The speed of Kallok Metal's Infinite Replication was basically on par with the attack speed.
It was likely that soon, as the rain attack grew even stronger, Kallok Metal would no longer be able to withstand it...
"What should I do now..." Ziyu felt anxious.
"The intensity of the rain attack has increased..." A chill ran through Ziyu's heart, as the previously accumulated metal protective layer had begun to diminish, while the speed of Infinite Replication had not decreased.
"Am I really going to fall here?" Ziyu felt a sense of unwillingness; in that moment, many thoughts crossed Ziyu's mind...
Once living with his adoptive father "Number Three," later trapped in an organization, escaping, arriving in ancient times, and returning to master the highest technology, stepping toward the universe step by step...
Although Ziyu felt reluctant, his subconscious had already given up... He never expected that after such a long journey, it would end like this.
"Tick-tock..." A drop of rain fell, and everything seemed to come to a halt...
"Is it really over?" Ziyu was taken aback. "Wait, this is just a formation!"
