Chapter 146: Rescuing a Deadlock
Chapter 146: Rescuing a Deadlock
They didn't know when the formation was formed, but the system that was integrated with Jin Cancan knew it clearly.
It is undoubtedly a fantasy to complete a complicated formation in a fierce life-and-death chase, so Jin Cancan did not plan to draw the formation himself from the beginning.
She carefully observed the rhythm of Sun Nongqiao's attacks, looking for patterns in her sword swings. She paid attention to the intervals and methods in which "Jiang Chao" provided benefits to Sun Nongqiao each time.
While dodging Sun Nongqiao's attacks, she memorized their moves and frequencies, and calculated their attack patterns as well as angles and strengths.
The cooperation between "Sun Nongqiao" and "Jiang Chao" can almost be described as impeccable. Their coordination is as seamless as the meshing of precision gears. This also means that Jin Cancan can quickly find out their attack patterns.
While dodging, Jin Cancan kept adjusting her position, directing the attacks of the two to where she wanted.
"Sun Nongqiao" and "Jiang Chao" thought they were the pursuers, but in fact each of their attacks was intentionally guided by Jin Cancan.
Behind every seemingly awkward evasion, there was her careful calculation.
The puppets left sword marks on the ground according to Jincan's layout, adding an indispensable touch to her binding formation.
The control of the chess pieces suddenly shifted without anyone noticing, and the black and white players changed positions silently.
Jin Cancan only made one move and instantly turned the deadlock around.
She raised her hand slightly, and the light in the formation became brighter.
Through the puppet's eyes, the furious person behind the scenes could clearly see her final appearance.
Her head was as high as the mountains and rivers in the distance, and her long black hair looked like a black waterfall hanging on the top of the mountain, as if she was lying on a painting of the mountains and rivers.
Her eyes were neither angry nor resentful, only filled with a bit of pity for the ignorant.
Before the light engulfed her vision, I saw her red lips moving slightly, and her mouth formed the words - Goodbye.
Jin Cancan simply handled the scene and searched around Koi Village, but did not get any information about the person behind the scenes.
She was not disappointed, which was to be expected.
Jin Cancan dug a few large pits and buried the innocent people. After doing all this, he left Koi Village.
She ran into Yan Qiyun and his companions at the outermost edge of the illusion array. They looked unhappy and seemed to be about to enter Koi Village to look for her.
Sun Nongqiao had sharp eyes and saw her first: "Cancan!"
"Are you okay?!" Jiang Chao asked hurriedly, his face full of worry, and handed her a few calming pills.
Seeing Jin Cancan standing there with a strange look on her face, Sun Nongqiao didn't care about her abnormality and quickly checked the blood on her body: "Are you not injured?"
Jin Cancan stared at them for a long while before making sure that time was not going back.
It's exactly the same reaction as those two puppets.
Several people talked head to head about what had happened, and they realized that except for Jin Cancan who really entered the Koi Village, the other four of them were trapped at the outermost edge of the illusion array.
From the very beginning, the people who followed Jin Cancan in were just puppets.
Jin Cancan concealed the matter of the fallen species and the puppets, and only vaguely told the story of the Koi Village scam, and described her own experience as an illusion caused by an illusion array.
Even though this version concealed many details, several direct disciples of the Tianping Sword Sect still got goose bumps after hearing it.
Jiang Chao said with a strange look on his face: "In fact, besides being stuck in a maze outside the illusion array, I seem to have experienced something else."
Sun Nongqiao looked at him and said in astonishment: "You feel the same way?! No one else mentioned it, so I thought I was the only one who felt this way."
Lin Yanqiu and Yan Qiyun asked in unison: "What happened?"
Jiang Chao replied: "It seems so... I was fighting with Third Senior Sister. What were we fighting? It seemed to be a very powerful fallen species."
Sun Nongqiao nodded rapidly, "Yes, yes, yes! And that shouldn't be an illusion. I feel my arms are sore right now. That fallen creature is like a loach. It doesn't fight us head-on but keeps hiding. It's really embarrassing for the fallen creature."
Jin Cancan: “…”
Jiang Chao agreed: "What happened in the end? I don't quite remember."
Sun Nongqiao: "I don't remember either. Anyway, it's impossible that we haven't dealt with that Jindan-stage fallen species before. Judging from its timid appearance, I must have chopped it into two pieces."
Jin Cancan was silent, and secretly retorted: "Let's take a step back, even if you two teamed up to beat up a fallen creature, even if you win, wouldn't it be considered an unfair victory!"
Jiang Chao looked at her strangely and replied, "It's not a human, nor is it a good thing. There's no point in talking about fairness with something that has been causing harm for thousands of years."
The others nodded in approval.
Jin Cancan: “…”
Without the obstruction of the illusion array, several people followed Jin Cancan to see the collapsed mineral vein. There was not a trace of spiritual ore in it. The spiritual vein that Xie Ling mentioned was nothing more than an illusion caused by the influence of the illusion array.
"So, where is Xie Ling?" Lin Yanqiu asked.
Jin Cancan replied: "The one under your feet is it."
Lin Yanqiu jumped away and looked down. He saw a small mound of earth and a tattered wooden sign with the words "Xie Ling" engraved on it.
"No, how did he die? You buried him so soon?" Sun Nongqiao was extremely surprised, and then asked jokingly: "Haha, it can't be that you killed him."
Jin Cancan was heartbroken: "How could that be possible! His head had already fallen off when I arrived. I thought, after all, we are former fellow disciples, we can't just leave his body exposed in the wilderness, right?"
"People always have to return to their roots, rest in peace, and after the dust has settled, we should forget each other and never see each other again until we die. I just dug a hole and buried him."
They thought about it for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and felt that it made some sense.
It may sound cruel, but they actually had no feelings for Xie Ling and had never even met her.
Jin Cancan sadly wiped away her non-existent tears, crushed up Xie Ling's small card, and put it back into the small pile of dirt: "Senior Brother Xie Ling's death really had a huge impact on me. Although we didn't know each other, we were half-siblings who had never met each other. It's reasonable for us to have a funeral meal."
Jiang Chao: "...Where to eat?"
Sun Nongqiao: "I suggest Zhiwei Pavilion."
Lin Yanqiu: “I second the motion.”
Jin Cancan: “+1.”
Being stared at by four pairs of eyes, Yan Qiyun silently demonstrated his integrity: "I can't afford Zhiwei Pavilion with my wealth, but the noodle stall next to Zhiwei Pavilion can."
Jin Cancan patted himself generously and said, "It's my treat!"
Yan Qiyun took out his sword expressionlessly and invited sincerely: "Little Junior Sister, hold on to me when you ride my flying sword. I might fly a little fast."
Therefore, although a few disciples who gained nothing did not complete the tasks assigned by their elders, they found a legitimate excuse to eat a good meal.
