Chapter 143 Seven Killing Formations
Both of them could hear each other's voices, but the echoes were so loud that they couldn't tell which direction the sound was coming from.
The two of them shouted a few times and realized the problem.
"Qin Xuanyu, you should hurry up and figure out a way to break the formation. I'm fine!"
Jiang Qingyue knew that shouting into the air like this would be pointless. Instead of doing that, she decided to break the formation first, which would save her a lot of time and trouble.
Qin Xuanyu knew this too, "Then take care of yourself, and call me if anything happens!"
Then, Qin Xuanyu leaped several times, dodging the rapidly moving trees, and flew towards the highest point.
Since you can't see it clearly, stand at the highest point and look down; maybe you can find it then.
However, the formation seemed to become increasingly complex as time went on after it was activated, and even the faint sound of air being torn apart could be heard.
Several arrows flew towards Qin Xuanyu, who dodged and parried them, nimbly darting through the forest.
At that moment, Jiang Qingyue, perched in the tree, was also watching the tree's movement, trying to find some clues.
At that moment, she also felt the arrow piercing the air. She turned her head to catch it, and then used the arrow she caught to block it. She grabbed the thickest tree branch with one hand for leverage, and dodged and weaved.
After a quarter of an hour of intense arrow rain, the forest returned to calm.
However, Jiang Qingyue and her companion dared not let their guard down, because they felt that it was definitely not that simple; perhaps this was just an appetizer.
Sure enough, at this moment, the swamp emitted an even thicker white smoke, which was highly poisonous. Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but cover her nose and quickly swallowed an antidote pill. Qin Xuanyu also took one. This was something Jiang Qingyue had given him in advance, just in case, before entering the swamp.
Afterward, Qin Xuanyu ignored the white smoke and continued his efforts to find the array's core.
However, Jiang Qingyue discovered a strange phenomenon.
If the surrounding trees were spinning while hers was only vibrating, then this time the white smoke seemed to be swirling around this tree as well, but not in a small area beneath it.
A bold guess surfaced in Jiang Qingyue's mind: Could it be...?
However, she couldn't act rashly, and the white smoke was too thick. Although she had an antidote, she could easily choke on the smoke if she spoke, which would be just as unpleasant.
One person searched for the key point of the formation on the outside, while the other waited in the tree for the white smoke to dissipate.
Another fifteen minutes later, the white smoke rising from the ground gradually dissipated, faded, and finally disappeared. However, the white smoke lingering in the air did not completely dissipate so quickly; the air remained hazy, making it difficult to discern directions.
Qin Xuanyu searched for a while and, although he couldn't find the array's core, he could still determine that it was a Seven Killings Array, with seven mechanisms superimposed on it. Arrow rain and white smoke were only two of them; there would be more later.
"Qin Xuanyu, the key to the formation might be this tree of mine!" Qin Xuanyu shouted into the void.
Qin Xuanyu paused in his steps.
No wonder we couldn't find the array's core nearby; it turns out the core was inside.
However, the white fog made it impossible for him to discern Jiang Qingyue's direction, so he could only rely on his senses and the distance he had just traveled to.
"Take a look, besides this tree, are there any other unusual things around here?"
After hearing this, Jiang Qingyue stood on the tree and began to survey her surroundings.
She hadn't expected to look, but once she did, she actually noticed something.
The trees here are spaced very evenly, and the species of trees in the four cardinal directions are different from the other trees.
Upon hearing Jiang Qingyue's answer, Qin Xuanyu already understood.
He leaped back to the top of the tallest tree and looked down from there. Finally, he vaguely spotted a few trees with different leaves.
That's it!
Once he found the location, Qin Xuanyu immediately rushed over there, shouting, "Hide well and wait for me!"
It was at this moment that the third wave of the Seven Kill Formation's attack arrived.
Both of them heard rustling sounds, and then they saw a dense mass of venomous snakes and insects crawling out of the ground. Their colors clearly indicated that they were highly poisonous.
Some have already started climbing up the tree trunk.
Jiang Qingyue watched all of this with a cold and stern expression.
No wonder, no wonder those former江湖人 (jianghu people) ended up like that.
The first barrage of arrows might be a piece of cake for them, but if they weren't prepared in advance for the second round of poison gas, they would definitely be affected, and their strength would be greatly reduced.
The third wave of swarms of venomous snakes and insects is relentless and impossible to eradicate. For those already poisoned, dealing with these snakes and insects is even more difficult. What will come next is currently unknown; it truly is a series of interconnected events.
Who exactly is this mute woman, that she could come up with such a vicious scheme? If I were to actually find her and obtain the Three-Colored Moon Essence, the chances would be extremely slim.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue's expression turned sour.
In the moment she was lost in thought, the poisonous insects and snakes had already climbed up the tree trunk and were getting close to Jiang Qingyue.
Jiang Qingyue calmly took out a packet of medicine powder and sprinkled it directly down.
The moment the powder came into contact with the venomous snakes and insects, it made a hissing sound. Then, the snakes and insects emitted sharp cries, one after another, as if they had encountered something terrifying and fled as if they were running away.
Before long, no poisonous snakes or insects dared to approach Jiang Qingyue's tree.
Swamps are naturally teeming with venomous snakes and insects. Jiang Qingyue originally intended to use them for protection on the road, but she never imagined they could be used in a formation.
Qin Xuanyu also noticed the situation and raised an eyebrow. However, he wasn't too worried because he knew Jiang Qingyue was prepared and he trusted her abilities.
However, just in case, he still needed to get there as soon as possible.
He also took out the medicinal powder that Jiang Qingyue had given him and sprinkled it along the way, as if he were in an empty place, with no poisonous snakes or insects daring to get close.
Because of this incident, the swarm of poisonous insects, which was supposed to last for fifteen minutes, was abruptly ended by Jiang Qingyue, giving the two of them more time to catch their breath and think.
It was around this time that Qin Xuanyu finally arrived nearby.
But the closer he got, the more careful Qin Xuanyu became, afraid that he might misjudge and fall further and further away from Jiang Qingyue.
Finally, Jiang Qingyue spotted Qin Xuanyu first. "I'm here!"
Seeing familiar faces, Qin Xuanyu finally felt relieved.
He leaped to Jiang Qingyue's side, looked her over carefully, and finally couldn't resist embracing her. "Are you alright?"
He was afraid, terrified that he was a step too late and that Jiang Qingyue would be hurt.
This time, Jiang Qingyue didn't dodge or refuse; she simply shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
"I'm so glad you're alright, I'm so glad you're alright..."
Hearing Qin Xuanyu's murmurs and the rapid beating of his heart, Jiang Qingyue's long-sealed and conflicted heart finally opened completely at this moment...
