In less than a few minutes, Ai Yao was already complaining. This thing was very powerful, its defense was extremely strong, and its offensive power wasn’t bad. At the very least, its offensive power was similar to Ai Yao’s, but its defense was better than Ai Yao’s true body. In the end, Ai Yao was at a disadvantage in the battle!

Lei Xingfeng, on the other hand, had been swimming around the junction of the rocks and the water, not knowing what he was doing.

Ai Yao’s fight was very painful, and what made him most desperate was that he knew that the Mercury Python might not be able to defeat him, but he was also unable to kill the Mercury Python. This result made him shiver.

The Mercury Python could not kill its opponent, but it could not leave. It was created by relying on the Restriction formation. If it wanted to consume it, it would have to collapse the entire Restriction.

Therefore, if the Restriction Grand Formation was still in operation, Ai Yao would not be able to consume the Mercury Python to death. On the other hand, if Ai Yao could not consume the Mercury Python to death, the result might be that the Mercury Python would consume the Mercury Python to

Although Ai Yao had obtained quite a few energy crystals from Lei Xingfeng, they were limited and could not last him for a long time.

Ai Yao shouted, “Feng, what are you doing! Come and help!”

Lei Xingfeng said impatiently, “Drag it! I’m thinking of a way!”

There was no point in having another Lei Xingfeng. Even Ai Yao was unable to break through the Mercury Python’s defense, and it was even more impossible for Lei Xingfeng to break through its defense. Rather than fighting in vain, it was better to think of other ways.

Ai Yao had no choice but to continue to tangle with the Mercury Python.

After a few experiments, without breaking the opponent’s defense, Ai Yao no longer wasted his energy. Instead, he used the wandering method to maintain a balanced battle as far as possible. In any case, he only needed to entangle it.

This way, Ai Yao finally relaxed a little. He shouted, “Feng, hurry up and think of a way. I won’t be able to drag it out for long!”

Lei Xingfeng shouted, “If you can’t drag it out, drag it out for me!” Then he said, “Before I can think of a way, you must drag it down for me!”

Ai Yao was about to cry. He said, “Can you be reasonable? This thing is too powerful. I really can’t drag it down!”

Lei Xingfeng ignored him and was considering whether to set up a Restriction.

Setting up a Restriction in the Restriction array was a very difficult task. It was like in someone else’s house, you had to occupy a room alone, and the owner did not object. This was a very difficult task.

In other words, if he wanted to set up this Restriction, he had to coordinate with the entire Restriction Grand Formation. That was to deceive the Grand Formation and make it mistaken that this was a part of the Grand Formation.

It’s like stealing someone else’s room. If you’re a stranger, you’ll be chased away. But if it was a relative of the family, or an elder, then there would be an opportunity. Lei Xingfeng was just thinking about how to set up a Restriction and make the entire Restriction array mistakenly think that it was one.

This was the hardest part to deal with, so Lei Xingfeng was circling around the water. He already had a plan in his stomach, so he just needed time to sort out his thoughts.

A moment later, Lei Xingfeng shouted, “Old Ai, lure the Mercury Python to the center of the rocky area and keep it completely out of the water!”

After all, the Mercury Python still had a tail in the water, and it didn’t seem willing to come ashore. Actually, this was a characteristic of the Mercury Python. As long as it had a body in the water, it could be replenished by Restriction no matter how it fought.

Ai Yao felt bitter in his heart. At this moment, he could only obey Lei Xingfeng’s orders and try his best to lure the Mercury Python out. He frantically attacked and slowly retreated. The Mercury Python had already gained the upper hand.

Lei Xingfeng also secretly admired Ai Yao’s skill. He seemed to be on the verge of collapse. As long as the Mercury Python worked hard, it would be able to kill him. Therefore, the Mercury Python slowly got out of the water and swam towards the center of the rock area.

Ai Yao retreated step by step and finally lured the Mercury Python to the center of the rocky region.

And Lei Xingfeng began to act, He had already thought about it. Even if the Mercury Python was combined, it would still be very difficult to kill it. Moreover, killing the Mercury Python was not necessarily a good idea. Judging from the changes in Restriction, if this Mercury Python was killed, perhaps Restriction would reproduce. Next time, it might not be one Mercury Python. It might even be two or even three Mercury Pythons. At that time, it was really courting death.

In that case, the strategy was to trap the Mercury Python, and then the two of them escaped to the cliff and crossed the Restriction. That was the real way out.

Therefore, Lei Xingfeng’s Restriction was quite simple. It was an illusion array. This illusion array must not conflict with the entire Restriction array.

Thus, a small amount of spatial Restriction had to be added to the illusion array. Fortunately, when they entered the array, they broke through the illusion array within the Restriction array. The additional illusion array would have a chance to make it impossible for the Restriction array here to distinguish the illusion array. This illusion array must have a third of the charm of the original illusion array.

Simply put, this magic array would make the original Restriction grand array think that it was his own magic array.

However, this was far from enough. The reason why the Restriction Formation would tolerate such a paradoxical illusion formation was because it had similarities to the original illusion formation. As such, a similar illusion formation could not trap the Mercury Python. Therefore, Lei Xingfeng had to join the spatial Restriction. This was the key to truly trapping the Mercury Python.

Spatial Restriction was very mysterious. If Lei Xingfeng hadn’t obtained the Spatial Spirit Xiao Kong, it would have been impossible for him to have a deep understanding of Spatial Restriction. Of course, it couldn’t have been said that he had set up Spatial Restriction. Now, he did have this ability.

Ai Yao lured the Mercury Python to the center of the rock. He discovered that the Mercury Python was much weaker, which gave him some confidence. He shouted, “Feng, how long will it take?”

Lei Xingfeng said, “Drag on as long as you can. I need time to set up Restriction!”

Ai Yao shouted, “Brother, hurry up. I don’t know how long I can last here. This thing is too hard to beat.”

“Hold on,” Lei Xingfeng said. “As long as I finish setting up the Restriction, we can get out of here.”

Ai Yao said, “It takes too much energy! I’m afraid there won’t be enough energy in the end!”

“It’s fine,” said Lei Xingfeng. “I have energy. The amount of energy you consume is half that of a family!”

Ai Yao’s spirits instantly lifted. Actually, he wasn’t afraid of the Mercury Python. It was just that the energy he consumed was too painful. If he hadn’t gotten a portion of the energy he had from Lei Xingfeng last time, he would have already reached the bottom. With Lei Xingfeng’s promise, he would have dared to let go a little bit.

As long as they weren’t afraid of consumption, Ai Yao wasn’t inferior to the Mercury Python. Of course, it was almost impossible to destroy the Mercury Python. This was still on the shore. If they were in the water, Ai Yao would have no chance-let alone defeating the Mercury Python, even confrontation was impossible.

According to Lei Xingfeng and Ai Yao’s estimates, the strength of the Mercury Python in the water was the guaranteed Qihuan true body. Ai Yao was one level apart, let alone Lei Xingfeng.

Rapid Restriction arrangement was Lei Xingfeng’s specialty. The only reason he slowed down was because of the complexity of the spatial Restriction. Even if he added a little spatial Restriction, it would still be extremely troublesome for Restriction.

Ai Yao no longer dared to face the Mercury Python head-on. He had witnessed Lei Xingfeng’s battles and tasted the agility of Lei Xingfeng’s battles. Therefore, he had also secretly learned a lot. It was not a battle technique, but a battle mentality. This was extremely helpful to him.

According to his previous combat experience, if it had been a few years ago, he would have fought with all his might. But now, he would not have been like this. Instead, he would have kept swimming. Unless he had no other choice, he would never have fought head-on. This gave him a lot of chances to stall the Mercury Python.

Gliding, and seizing the opportunity to launch a sudden attack …

The more he fought, the more excited Ai Yao became. Gradually, he became interested. It turned out that there was no need to fight head-on, but he could still fight happily.

Actually, there was no need for him to clash head-on, so he would consume much less energy. This way, he would be able to persevere for a longer period of time.

Lei Xingfeng was also nervously setting up Restriction. He now had a new method of setting up Restriction. That was to use Lei Yin in Restriction to project it outside. The materials used were only one-tenth of the original. However, the energy used was twice as much as before.

This was an advanced spatial Restriction technique. It was a gift from Xiao Kong and could save a lot of materials.

Moreover, this method of setting up the formation was extremely fast.

He circled around the boundary between the rock and the water surface and laid out the entire Restriction in a circle.

Even if Ai Yao was fighting, he would not be able to endure it anymore. This period of time was neither long nor short. It took him more than two hours to consume quite a bit of his reserve energy.

Ai Yao wailed and said, “Is that enough? Is that enough? I can’t hold on anymore!”

Lei Xingfeng couldn’t help but laugh. He said, “Alright, run to me. Hurry up!”

Before he could finish speaking, Ai Yao ran towards Lei Xingfeng without hesitation, while the Mercury Python chased after him.

This rocky area wasn’t very big. Ai Yao was about to get close to Lei Xingfeng soon. What puzzled him was that Old God Lei Xingfeng was standing there with a smile all over his face.

Ai Yao shouted, “Coming!”

“I know,” said Lei Xingfeng.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scenery in front of Ai Yao changed. The surroundings were actually endless shoals. One foot of water was covered in rubble. There was no movement in the surroundings, as if the heavens and earth were still. Even the Mercury Python that was chasing after him had disappeared.

Ai Yao heard a voice beside his ear, “Take three steps to the left, and then take seven steps back.”

That was Lei Xingfeng’s voice. Ai Yao immediately understood. He obediently followed Lei Xingfeng’s words, taking three steps left and seven steps back. Then, he heard Lei Xingfeng say, “Take two steps forward!”

Ai Yao was still puzzled in his heart. Just now, he didn’t need to take seven steps back. Wouldn’t it be enough for him to take five steps back? However, he didn’t dare to doubt it. He took two steps forward honestly and saw Lei Xingfeng.

The surrounding scenery returned, and Ai Yao found himself standing at the edge of the rocky area, almost stepping into the water.
