Chapter 678 Difficulties (2)
Qing Mu nodded and said, “Six hundred people is enough. Brother Lei, you will be the main character tomorrow. Anyone will have to listen to your orders.”
Lei Xingfeng had established his prestige, that was, he was Master Restraint, and no one could compare to him in breaking the restrictions.
“No problem, I’ll come tomorrow.”
Lei Xingfeng was very interested in the restrictions here. Even if he couldn’t obtain the components and hinges of the overall restrictions, he still hoped that he could go. This was an excellent opportunity to learn. As time passed, Lei Xingfeng became more and more interested in the restrictions. With this, he was confident that he would be able to survive in the Ming Ze Alliance.
… … … … …
The next day, Lei Xingfeng brought a group of subordinates to the camp assembly point. Feng Heng and Big Eyed Boss each brought their own subordinates. Qing Mu also brought a large group of people. Behind him were more than a hundred Daolord Patriarchs, including six or seven Intermediate Daolord Patriarchs and one Advanced Daolord Patriarch.
Lei Xingfeng was the last to arrive. Qing Mu nodded and said to Feng Heng, “Alright, everyone is here. Let’s go.”
The crowd began to head towards the ruins. They quickly crossed the first restriction. After Lei Xingfeng broke the restriction, the snow was already very safe. After stepping through the area, everyone arrived at the edge of the second restriction.
Lei Xingfeng could clearly see the dense number of restriction nodes. He shouted, “Stop! We’re already at the edge of the restriction!”
The other cultivators couldn’t see the restriction nodes, so they didn’t know that they had arrived at the edge of the restriction. If it wasn’t for Lei Xingfeng, they would have sent people inside. Only when the restriction was activated would they know the scope of the restriction.
Everyone stopped and Feng Heng said, “Is there a Restriction here?”
“That’s right, this is the edge of Lei Xingfeng. If we continue forward, it will touch Restriction,” said Restriction.
Although Qing Mu had a younger brother who was a Restriction Master, his understanding of Restriction was similar to that of ordinary cultivators. He was also someone who did not understand Restriction.
Nearly a thousand people stood on the edge of Restriction, and Qing Mu said, “What should we do?”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Wait a minute. I’ll take a look.”
“It’s fine,” said Qing Mu as he brought his men back. “There’s no need to break Restriction right now. You have plenty of time to observe.”
Lei Xingfeng walk along that edge of Restriction, This Restriction is bigger, At least three or four times larger than the previous Restriction, Just walking along the edge of Restriction took Lei Xingfeng more than two hours. He searched for the Restriction hub, but only walked along the edge once. Lei Xingfeng actually didn’t discover where the Restriction hub was. He couldn’t help but feel anxious. If he couldn’t find the Restriction hub, it would be extremely difficult to break through the Restriction array.
Back in the crowd, Qing Mu asked, “How was it?”
Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said, “This Restriction is too complicated. I can’t figure it out for the time being. I might need someone to go in and touch Restriction.”
If Restriction is not touched, then it is static. Once touched, it becomes dynamic. Some secrets can only be truly understood in a dynamic situation. In other words, people need to touch Restriction. If Lei Xingfeng wants to see clearly the operation of Restriction, it may be able to find the Restriction hub.
Because Qing Mu and Lei Xingfeng had a relationship, he did not use high-handed methods to direct them. Instead, he used Lei Xingfeng Master Restraint’s identity to point out the tasks that needed to be done.
Qing Mu looked at Feng Heng and said, “You guys arrange your own people, so I won’t say anything.”
Feng Heng and Big Eye heaved a sigh of relief. If Qing Mu commanded them, nothing could be changed. If something happened, such as appointing some of their trusted aides to probe Restriction, they would be powerless to stop them. Now that the task fell into their hands, the people who would be used to test Restriction would have a choice.
The two of them each picked dozens of people and brought them to Lei Xingfeng. Feng Heng said, “Brother Lei, you command. I’ll leave these people to you. Don’t worry, they won’t dare to disobey orders.”
The faces of all the selected cultivators were ashen. This was a mission that cost their lives. If they refused the mission, they would immediately be killed. In the disciplinary camp, there was no room for negotiation.
Lei Xingfeng glanced around and said, “In the first batch, I need ten people.”
Very quickly, ten people recommended it. It was really something that was recommended with fists and kicks.
Lei Xingfeng gathered the ten people to his side and said, “This is not a suicidal probe. I need you to obey my orders strictly. If you can obey my orders strictly, you will have at least a 50% chance of returning alive. Of course, if you refuse to obey my orders, then there is almost no chance of survival.”
The ten cultivators originally thought that they would die without a doubt, but they didn’t expect half of them to survive. Immediately, everyone’s eyes lit up with hope.
Lei Xingfeng divided into two groups and repeatedly warned, “Group one, come in this way. Group two, stand by. Now … move forward!”
The two Heavenly Monarch level cultivators carefully walked inside.
Lei Xingfeng widened his eyes and carefully observed Restriction’s changes. He kept shouting, “Take a few steps to the left, yes! Continue to take a few more steps, alright! Turn around, turn right!”
The two of them followed suit. Lei Xingfeng stared at the changes in Restriction. As they went deeper into Restriction, a portion of the Restriction began to fluctuate. Lei Xingfeng could clearly see the movement of the node. Since there were only two people, even if the Restriction was activated, the power would not be too great. However, it was enough for Lei Xingfeng to see some of the changes.
However, this change could not determine the location of Restriction’s hub, so Lei Xingfeng still had to let the two of them move forward.
Following Lei Xingfeng’s words, the two of them walked left and right in Restriction. The route they took was very exquisite. Other people might not know about it, but Ai Qi knew that the route Lei Xingfeng commanded them to take basically did not trigger Restriction’s counterattack. Although Restriction had touched it, it was not enough to trigger a fierce reaction. This level was simply frightening.
Countless nodes swayed in front of Lei Xingfeng. He needed to capture the movement trajectory of these nodes, and then let the two of them carefully avoid triggering the nodes. However, it was impossible for them to completely avoid it. They could only make as little contact as possible, thus suppressing Restriction’s full-scale eruption.
After spending more than two hours, the two of them safely walked over four hundred meters, turning into two small black dots in the eyes of the crowd.
Lei Xingfeng shouted, “Alright, sprint back with all your might. Listen to my command, one, two, three! Run back!”
The two of them were like horses that had been whipped, and they frantically rushed back. A Heavenly Lord expert rushed back with all his might in just a few seconds.
In an instant, the entire array began to operate at full speed. However, the two of them were extremely fast. Before the Restriction array could capture them, the two of them had already rushed out of the array. With this, Lei Xingfeng could find the Restriction hub. After a while, Restriction gradually stopped operating.
Lei Xingfeng covered his face with both hands and closed his eyes. Just now, he had used all his strength to gush lightning into his eyes. This kind of stinging pain was still hard to avoid.
Qing Mu asked, “Brother Lei, how is it?”
“I still need to test,” Lei Xingfeng said. “I can’t find the key point.”
Qing Mu said, “Do you want to rest for a moment? There’s plenty of time. There’s no rush.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Alright, take a rest.”
The faces of the two Heavenly Monarch level cultivators were filled with joy. The two of them had a feeling of surviving a calamity. It was too terrifying. If they hadn’t obeyed Lei Xingfeng’s orders, they were confident that they would have died in Restriction.
However, the two of them successfully escaped, greatly boosting the confidence of the other four groups. They discovered that Lei Xingfeng had no intention of sending them to their deaths. Everyone was secretly grateful. One had to know that sending them to their deaths was also in turn. This time, their mission was to send them to their deaths. Since they did not die, the next mission would not fall on them.
Lei Xingfeng covered his face and closed his eyes. After about ten minutes, he rubbed his face hard and opened his eyes. “Next group, let’s go this way.”
He ran forward with his men and quickly arrived at the entrance point. He said, “Do you all understand the old rules for entering from here?”
The two people in the second group kept nodding their heads. Even if they wanted to forget, it would be hard. This was to save their lives. Moreover, this rule was very simple. It was to obey Lei Xingfeng’s orders, leave as you please, stop as you please. What a simple matter. As long as you obey the orders, you can save your life. No one would forget it.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Very well. Follow my orders and walk slowly. Slow down as much as you can, step by step.”
The two of them listened to the order with trembling fear.
Lei Xingfeng already had experience, so every step was ordered: “Left step!”
“Second step! Turn right and take two steps forward!”
“Alright, stop!”
“Take a step back! Take a step to the right!”
Here, Lei Xingfeng could see more clearly. As the two of them advanced, the Restriction nodes began to change. Lei Xingfeng kept speculating. According to his estimation, Restriction in this region would soon be able to figure it out. The only thing that made him depressed was that he could not find the Restriction hub.
Gradually, the two of them went deeper into the distance of more than 400 meters. They really walked more than 400 meters. They twisted and twisted, and they walked at least a thousand meters. The two of them were already soaked in sweat. Both of them listened to Lei Xingfeng’s instructions with their ears pricked up, afraid that they would hear something wrong.
If they heard the wrong order here, they would immediately be killed by Restriction without any other consequences. The two of them trembled in fear as they walked.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Stop for now. Stand still!”
With two people present, even though he didn’t trigger Restriction, because of their occupancy, it still affected the operation of Restriction. At this time, it was Lei Xingfeng’s chance to observe Restriction.
Because this Restriction was too big, and Lei Xingfeng had already figured out that this was a large, compound Restriction. This was the first time he had seen the complexity of this. He felt a little powerless in his heart. It was simply too complicated. Just relying on two people to probe was far from enough.
