Zhuo Mufeng looked back and found that the big tree in the distance was motionless, but smoke was rising. All nine elders stood up in shock.
Liu Linghui struck the sky with a sword. The light of the sword chopped up many fallen leaves above his head, causing transparent ripples to appear in the air.
Hu Lai then stopped, turned around and saw this scene, and said in surprise: "What's going on?"
Zhuo Mufeng: "I guess I got caught in the formation."
Hu Lai was shocked when he heard this.
At this moment, except for Liu Linghui, the other eight elders also launched attacks above their heads, their internal energy exploding into the sky with a roar. Even though there was nothing left, they still attacked wildly, as if they were struck by a demonic barrier.
Hu Lai patted his chest, fearful: "Boss, it's a good thing we walked fast, otherwise we would have suffered disaster..."
Speaking of this, Hu Lai's eyes suddenly widened.
Zhuo Mufeng's hasty behavior previously made him suspicious. As far as he knew, this boss was not a diligent boss. Now that this happened again, it was difficult for him not to think too much.
Hu Lai said in a trembling voice: "Boss, this, could this be your handiwork?"
Zhuo Mufeng rolled his eyes at him: "If I have this method, do I still need to wrong myself?"
That's right, Zhuo Mufeng is only a few years old, not to mention he is not a formation genius.
Seeing that the situation of the nine elders was becoming more and more critical, Hu Lai said anxiously: "Let's leave quickly. If they can't hold on, the people who do it will probably find us."
Zhuo Mufeng: "No problem for the time being, Zheng Nian and the others are not vegetarians."
The reason why he stopped walking was of course not because he wanted to save Dean Hao Miao, but because he was covetous of the star medicinal materials in their hands, especially the Fenghe Miluo.
Zhuo Mufeng knew very well that with his current strength, it would be difficult to obtain three-star medicinal materials.
You can encounter mutated crocodiles when picking Fenghe Miluo. Who dares to say that you won’t encounter other obstacles when picking other three-star medicinal materials?
The situation in front of him is clearly a battle between two powerful forces. It can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime situation. If he uses it well, he may not be able to benefit from it. The question is, how should he do it?
After squinting his eyes and thinking for a long time, Zhuo Mufeng gritted his teeth, starving the timid to death and starving the bold to death. Since he was certain, he might as well give it a try. He pulled out the one-star sword and said to Hu Lai
: "Follow me to save people."
"What, boss, did I hear that right?"
Hu Lai was dumbfounded.
The nine elders are unable to protect themselves. How can they save others with their abilities? The most important thing is that those nine people don't know their attitude towards them. They are just using them. It would be better if they died.
What's going on with Boss Zhuo? It's possible that he has a kind heart, but it doesn't look like it when you look at it horizontally or vertically.
Zhuo Mufeng: "After all, the elders have protected us. As a human being, you must have the heart to repay your kindness. Don't wait any longer."
Seeing that Hu Lai was still resisting, and knowing that the other party was afraid of danger, Zhuo Mufeng did not force himself and rushed towards the woods on his own.
After experiencing the incident at Songquan Villa, Zhuo Mufeng had specialized in studying formations and was no longer the novice he had been in the past.
Ordinary formations can take effect spontaneously by just setting up the array.
However, the more powerful the formation is, the more powerful it needs to be controlled by the person setting up the formation at any time. Only in this way can it exert its power.
Being able to trap Zheng Nian's nine people, plus the fact that the person in the dark didn't show up, is enough to prove that the opponent is controlling the formation and has no time to deal with him.
Isn't this a good opportunity?
For those in the formation, the mystery of the formation is difficult to discern, but if someone outside the formation slightly damages the formation, it will affect the power of the formation.
The opponent used the formation to trap the nine elders, which proved that he was not strong enough. He could make good use of it and make profits from it!
Although it is very dangerous, he believes that he is more than 70% sure and it is worth a try.
Zhuo Mufeng made a few vertical jumps, and without any nonsense, he chopped down the previously confirmed renovated tree trunk with one sword.
"How dare you, little thief!"
An extremely angry roar came from his ears.
boom!
A counter-shock force surged from the tree trunk towards Zhuo Mufeng, causing Zhuo Mufeng to take half a step back.
Zhuo Mufeng ignored it. In fact, with his strength, it would not be difficult to cut the tree trunk if he went all out, but he deliberately reserved it and only made a few carvings.
If the formation was broken at once, the nine elders would be saved, but he would not be able to obtain the star-rated medicinal materials. The only way would be a dog-eat-dog fight on both sides, with both sides injured.
Just as Zhuo Mufeng took action, the nine people who were trapped in the formation and struggling wildly suddenly had their eyes lit up. Just because the moving tree was stagnant for a moment, they discovered Zhuo Mufeng who was making a chopping gesture.
Zhuo Mufeng shouted: "Nine elders, I'm here to save you!"
In the blink of an eye, the illusion dissipated, but the sound reached the ears of nine people.
Shi Cheng wondered, "Was it Lu Juntian just now? He seemed to say he wanted to save us. Is it an illusion?"
Elder Zheng's eyes were deep and he shook his head and said: "It's definitely not an illusion. Didn't you notice that the formation was messy for a moment? Someone must have done something outside.
This boy Lu, I didn’t expect to be so loyal, but I underestimated him! Guys, let’s hold on for a while. Once the formation is broken, the old thief named Bao can’t do anything to us.”
Everyone had doubts before, but when they heard Zheng Nian's words, they were all overjoyed. It seemed that even the internal strength that had been exhausted to resist the poison had been restored.
As the formation stagnated again, Zhuo Mufeng's figure appeared again, shouting: "Nine elders, are you okay? Can you hear what Lu said?"
Shi Cheng responded quickly: "Jun Tian, try harder, don't hold back!"
Liu Linghui: "Master Lu, we were right about you. You saved us this time, and we will be rewarded generously!"
Even Yang Wei called Mr. Lu affectionately and kept encouraging him with words.
The nine big bosses probably never imagined that one day they would ask for help from a small person who disdains them. But life and death are at stake. Face is nothing. Let’s get out of trouble first.
While Zhuo Mufeng was chopping wildly, he was actually just peeling the tree trunk lightly, constantly testing the impact of the force on the formation, so as not to really rescue the nine people.
On the other hand, he said righteously: "Thanks to the care of the nine elders along the way, Elder Liu even promised to let Mr. Lu join the Haobao Academy. Mr. Lu has no way to repay you. Even if he dies, he will rescue you!"
His figure disappeared again.
The eight people in the formation all looked at Liu Linghui.
Liu Linghui was a little confused. After thinking about it, she smiled bitterly and said, "I saw that this guy was diligent, so I just said it casually."
Zheng Nian and the other eight people understood, but they were all speechless.
They were still a little confused at first, how could Zhuo Mufeng come to save them regardless of danger? Was there any deception involved? They said that they were taking great care of themselves, and the nine of them knew clearly that there was nothing wrong with it.
The truth is this.
The boy surnamed Lu probably took Junior Sister Liu's empty promise seriously, so when he saw that they were in danger, he immediately came to rescue them at all costs.
Thinking about it, at the level of the other party, I heard that he could join the high-ranking Haomao Academy, but he had to sharpen his head to exploit the loopholes.
Yang Wei suddenly frowned and said, "Isn't that right? This guy looks a little treacherous. How can he believe Junior Sister Liu's words so easily?"
Shi Cheng retorted: "Senior Brother Yang, your words are wrong. Your level is too high. You might as well think about the problem from Lu Juntian's perspective.
In his eyes, Junior Sister Liu is undoubtedly a top figure in the world. How could such a figure, who was born in Hao Miao Academy, speak so freely?
Furthermore, he deliberately said this at this moment, clearly to remind us not to forget. This boy is indeed treacherous, but his treachery may be different from what Senior Brother Yang understands."
Zheng Nian pondered for a moment: "Junior Brother Shi's words make sense."
Liu Minghui was quite helpless: "If we can really be saved this time, I'm afraid I will really have to help this kid."
Shi Cheng's words reminded her that women all have to look good. As a dignified dean, she couldn't be seen as talking nonsense.
Another elder smiled and said: "It's just a little guy. He can really help us. It's a piece of cake for him to join us."
Outside the formation, Zhuo Mufeng slashed down with his sword.
Just then he was shocked to realize that Zheng Nian and others had seen him. In order to achieve a realistic effect, he directly performed the exercises until he was sweating and panting.
When Zheng Nian and others saw this, although they were deeply annoyed by his poor martial arts, they still encouraged him with smiles on their faces. They shouted to Jun Tian that "you have worked hard" and if he kept up his efforts, he also attacked crazily.
In my heart, I was surprised at the power of the formation. It was indeed the famous poison formation of the old thief who was covered with gold, but it was so difficult to destroy.
Hu Lai, who was hiding in the distance and peeking, was dumbfounded.
What kind of tree is that? Is it made of iron? Look at how hard Boss Zhuo is working. Could it be that it has been blessed with the power of the formation and has become invulnerable?
Not to mention other people, even Bao Jin himself, who was in the jungle behind the high slope in the distance, constantly using his skills to control the formations, was dumbfounded, and immediately burst into ecstasy.
It seems that this kid must be one of the first lucky ones to enter Tianfu. Otherwise, with his strength and so many interceptors outside, he would not even be able to take a breath of the air in Tianfu.
"I'll use all my strength. As long as the nine people in the formation are killed, the thieves outside are not worth mentioning."
Bao Jin shouted to the two disciples behind him, a male and a female.
The two of them were covered in sweat and exhausted, but they still frantically poured power into Bao Jin's body, and finally poured it into the formation plate in front of his legs through Bao Jin's hands.
The array disk emits a weak but lasting light, and wisps of power pass through the transparent silk threads on the array disk and connect to the roots of the renovated tree, allowing the formation to operate from a distance.
Seeing that there was no one to stop him, Hu Lai became more courageous. He thought that he could not let Mr. Zhuo stand out, so he also ran over and said aggressively: "Boss, let me help you!" He was about to hit the big tree.
.
Zhuo Mufeng's heart skipped a beat. Hu Lai's martial arts was not very good, but with real swords and spears, the tree trunk would be chopped down by him sooner or later. He hurriedly shouted: "Do you have any brains! Keep me on guard all around, in case someone attacks me.
Delay time!"
Hu Lai was stunned, as if this was the truth, and when he saw Zhuo Mufeng's murderous eyes, he didn't dare not listen, so he obediently stepped aside and looked ready.
Time passed minute by minute.
Although the nine elders are powerful, and several of them are masters of the Heavenly Star Ranking and the Earthly Spirit Ranking, they cannot withstand the endless poison offensive.
Especially the one who cast it was Bao Jin, who was among the best within the Sky Poison Sect twenty years ago.
Less than half an hour later, several elders collapsed to the ground one after another. They had taken several antidote pills in succession, but how could they withstand the poisonous power of the Sky Poison Sect?
Zheng Nian and others were also shaken.
An elder threw a concealed weapon outwards, and with a bang, the moving tree did not move at all. In the eyes of outsiders, in fact, he threw it into the sky, and the waves shook the formation, and disappeared in an instant.
Yang Wei roared angrily: "Is the person named Lu just pretending, and you haven't succeeded yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the movement of the big tree became more and more stagnant. For a moment, it almost came to a freeze, and the poisonous mist stopped spreading.
