"Junior brother, let's move closer to the side."
Because the two of them were in the center of the cave, which was too eye-catching, Cheng Qian pulled her to move to the corner, but was pushed back a few steps by an invisible resistance.
The originally dark cave suddenly lit up with thousands of red lights, imprisoning them in the cave like a cage.
Lu Xiaojing sat cross-legged and meditated. He wanted to use Qigong to heal himself, but he found that there was no spiritual power in his body.
This formation is very evil. Now everyone in the formation has lost all their spiritual power. If they want to leave here alive, they can only wait for others to rescue them.
"The goblin's intention of arresting people is just for cultivation. The reason why we are still alive now is because we haven't gathered enough people yet."
There are finally a few smart people in the crowd, and they have analyzed the current situation quite thoroughly.
"I heard Master say before that some taboo formations do require a lot of lives to activate and complete, and the number of people is related to 4, 7, or 9."
Cheng Qian leaned into Lu Xiaojing's ear and whispered: "I counted, there are forty-five people in the formation."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, ready to make a move, but no one took the lead to disrupt the situation.
Lu Xiaojing followed everyone's gaze and discovered that there was a pool of blood on the ground, which had turned dark red, and that there were two white bones piled up in a corner of the cave.
Her guess was soon confirmed by others.
"I advise everyone not to act rashly. If another person dies in the formation, the end will only be worse than the previous two people."
…
Boom!
Four more people were thrown into the formation!
Also appearing together was the little demon who had built this formation. He was counting heads, checking over and over again, and finally narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
"Don't worry, when I successfully form the elixir, I will give you a good burial."
Everyone who was originally anxious became even more frightened after hearing Xiao Yao's words.
"People...there are enough!"
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
Some people in the crowd were frightened, and Xiao Zhenyu was particularly afraid of death.
He seemed to have inadvertently pushed his fellow disciple, and the sword that his fellow disciple had been raising was inserted into the body of another fellow disciple.
The junior brother who stood in the front looked stunned before he died, as if he couldn't believe that he would be plotted against by his fellow disciples.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaojing deliberately shouted loudly: "Leverage the help of fellow disciples to reduce the number of people without compromising myself. It's a good plan to kill two birds with one stone!"
Xiao Zhenyu tried to defend himself, "I, I really didn't mean it."
The little demon roared angrily, "How dare you ruin my good deeds!"
Just when everyone thought that Xiao Zhenyu and his senior brothers were going to suffer, everything suddenly went dark. When the light came on again in the cave, the dead disciples of the Tianlang Sect had already arrived outside the formation and were eaten by the little demon. .
The sounds of retching one after another rang in Shika Koi's ears.
The little demon has very keen ears, and he can clearly sense the slightest movement outside the cave. He was originally unhappy due to the lack of people, and suddenly the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"It seems that even God is helping me."
The little demon swung out of the way and immediately left the cave.
…
"Junior Brother Xiao, you..."
Facing Senior Brother Zhen's questioning, Xiao Zhenyu immediately transferred his fire to Lu Xiaojing.
"Why do you want to sow discord between our fellow apprentices!"
Lu Xiaojing smiled and asked, "Am I provoking? I am obviously stating the facts. If you borrow a knife to kill someone, you can delay the activation of the formation. Even if the little demon is angry, he will only vent his anger on your senior brother."
Xiao Zhenyu raised his sword and approached, "What are you talking nonsense about?"
Lu Xiaojing raised his chin, "Do you dare to kill me? I advise you not to take chances. The little demon will let you go once, but it doesn't mean that he will allow others to touch his reverse scales again and again. .”
Xiao Zhenyu really didn't dare, "No matter whether we can get out or not, this place will become your burial place!"
Lu Xiaojing ignored him and turned to tease his senior brother, "You are really heartless when you leave your back to such an insidious and cunning person."
Xiao Zhenyu hurriedly explained, "Brother, don't listen to her nonsense. It was... someone pushed me."
Boom!
Two more people fell into the formation!
Lu Xiaojing reacted very quickly, "There is one more person in the crowd. Now, there is something good to watch."
After the rat demon came back, he stood outside the formation and paced leisurely.
"In this way, let's play a game. Within half a stick of incense, we must find a way to tie our hands behind our back. It must be so strong that it cannot be broken away. I don't need to tell you what the fate of the last one to complete will be."
Lu Xiaojing was the first to react. She tore off a few strips of cloth from her body, tied her senior brother's hands first, and then moved to Zhen Yuanshan, "I'll help you."
Zhen Yuanshan was still stunned, his hands had been tied behind his back by Lu Xiaojing, "...Thank you, thank you."
Lu Xiaojing handed another piece of cloth to Zhen Yuanshan's hand, "It's just about helping each other."
Xiao Zhenyu wanted to ask for help, but he repeatedly hit the wall. Seeing that the time was coming, he took another dangerous move and stabbed Lu Xiaojing with his sword.
Lu Xiaojing was already prepared. She dodged and kicked the sword out of Xiao Zhenyu's hand.
"Xiao Zhenyu, you are dead today."
Xiao Zhenyu stared at her and said hesitantly: "You, you are a deer..."
The rat demon didn't give him a chance to say anything. As the light in the cave flickered, the person was already in his hands.
In full view of everyone, the rat demon's hand was like a sharp blade, directly piercing Xiao Zhenyu's intestines and rupturing his belly. The bloody scene once again caused a sound of retching.
Lu Xiaojing suddenly fell into a trance.
The great revenge was avenged, and she felt empty in her heart.
…
The sacrifice is about to begin.
Several cries immediately sounded in the cave, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
Lu Xiaojing didn't want to die, so he asked Xuan Ying for help, "Senior, is there a way to save us?"
Xuanying didn't make a sound!
Didn't you follow me in?
Cheng Qian also had a crying sound when he spoke, "Junior brother, who are you talking to?"
Lu Xiaojing began to feel uneasy. If Xuan Ying really didn't follow him in, then she would have to find a way to save herself. She glanced at the rat demon and deliberately increased her voice.
"When we went up the mountain before, there was a senior who was following us. I don't know if he will save us."
Cheng Qian said excitedly: "Really, really?"
The rat demon glanced at her coldly and was not fooled.
He sat cross-legged outside the formation, set up another formation, and muttered something, as if he was summoning the gods... but it seemed to have failed in the end.
He tried several times, but the result was the same.
"what happened!"
The rat demon suddenly became violent. After he got up from the ground, he started counting heads again.
Cheng Qian began to whisper to Lu Xiaojing, "Good sacrifice, it seems it didn't succeed."
Kakoi: "Yeah."
Cheng Qian: "Should he...could he have counted wrongly?"
Kakoi: "That's right."
Cheng Qian: "That's because, why?"
Lu Xiaojing: "What do the people he captured have in common?"
Cheng Qian observed the people around him carefully, and after a long while he replied: "...are they all men?"
Lu Xiaojing's mouth curved slightly.
If she guessed correctly, the reason for the failure of the sacrifice should be on herself.
