Chapter 177 Successful Deployment
Chapter 177 Successful Deployment
After all, at this moment, no possibility, however small, of saving Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu's lives should be missed or abandoned.
Seeing that everyone had the same idea, the little girl did not hesitate at all and immediately raised her two small, pink and white hands, which were as delicate as lotus roots, and waved them gently.
At the same time, her small, cute cherry-like mouth opened and closed repeatedly like a machine gun, while she kept muttering to herself.
A clear and melodious incantation, like a nightingale singing in a valley, slowly rang out.
Suddenly, a faint light burst forth from the little girl's palm.
Although the light seemed inconspicuous, it exuded a mysterious power that could not be ignored.
Immediately afterwards, the beam of light swiftly enveloped Huan Yuechu, Su Jinyan, and Mu Yang, who were standing to the side.
In the next instant, an astonishing scene unfolded—in the blink of an eye, the four people who had been tightly enveloped in light disappeared.
They simply vanished from their original location and escaped the cage that had confined them without any trouble.
However, just as Huan Yuechu and the others revealed themselves outside the formation...
The surrounding space seemed to have suddenly gone mad, and began to tremble wildly and violently.
The entire space felt as if it were being forcefully kneaded by an invisible giant hand, constantly emitting terrifying "creaking" sounds, as if it were the effect of the enormous impact generated by their forceful breakthrough of the formation.
The ground began to tremble incessantly, and shocking cracks spread rapidly like ferocious maws.
As these cracks appeared, thick, ink-like black smoke continuously gushed out from the ground, as if the gates of hell had been opened, releasing endless darkness and fear.
The little girl frowned deeply, and a hint of anxiety and unease showed in her clear eyes.
In a slightly childish but firm tone, she said, "Oh no! The destruction of this formation has generated such a powerful backlash. If we don't leave here quickly, our lives may be in danger!"
Hearing the little girl's warning, Huan Yuechu and her group dared not be negligent in the slightest.
They quickly surrounded the little girl, forming a tight protective circle.
Then, everyone rushed towards the only passage outside the formation that looked somewhat safer.
At this moment, the black smoke behind them, like a giant beast baring its fangs and claws, pounced on them at an extremely fast speed, seemingly wanting to swallow them whole.
Every step forward was incredibly difficult, but everyone shared a single belief—they had to escape this terrifying place alive.
Just as the deadly danger was about to catch up with them and completely engulf them, the group finally managed to escape this perilous area.
Having just escaped danger, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, when they looked up and around, they were surprised to find that the outside world had completely changed.
The once bustling and vibrant streets have vanished without a trace, replaced by a desolate and dilapidated scene.
The houses on both sides of the street have collapsed, leaving only ruins.
The once bustling crowds have vanished, and the entire city resembles a ghost town.
Even the sky above was no longer azure, but instead a depressing gray, as if a thick haze was shrouding the land.
"What... what exactly is going on?"
Su Jinyan was stunned. He stared wide-eyed at everything happening around him in disbelief.
The little girl gently shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing about it either.
She pondered for a moment, then guessed, "Perhaps this strange formation is not so simple; it may be connected to another mysterious space."
"We just accidentally triggered some kind of mechanism, which caused us to be transported to this completely unfamiliar place."
Just as everyone was looking at each other, unsure of how to deal with the current situation.
In the distance, amidst the billowing mist, a figure could be seen appearing and disappearing.
As the man drew closer, everyone finally saw what he looked like.
It turned out that the visitor was a man dressed in light colors, holding a fan, with an upright posture and an elegant and refined demeanor.
His eyes were as cold and clear as stars, deep and mysterious, as if they could see through everything in the world.
He exudes an otherworldly aura, like a celestial being descended to earth, untouched by worldly concerns.
"You shouldn't have broken that formation."
The man spoke slowly, his voice deep and magnetic, yet carrying a hint of reproach.
Upon hearing this, Huan Yuechu stepped forward without hesitation, facing the man directly and questioning him without fear.
"Why? We have our reasons for doing this!"
The man sighed softly, seemingly somewhat helpless at the impulsiveness of the person before him.
He raised his head, looked into the distance, and said slowly, "That formation is the key to sealing evil forces. It's like a solid barrier, firmly sealing those dark and terrifying forces within."
"However, now that this line of defense has been breached by you, the unrestrained evil forces will run rampant like a flood, and this once peaceful space will gradually be swallowed by darkness."
At this point, the man frowned slightly, revealing a deep sense of worry.
But he quickly regained his composure, turned to look at Huan Yuechu and the others, and said decisively.
"However, since things have already developed to this point, no amount of regret will help."
"The only thing you can do now is to escape from here as soon as possible and find a safe place." With that, he stretched out his long, slender finger and pointed towards a distant, faintly visible mountain.
“That might be your temporary refuge from this disaster,” the man added.
Huan Yuechu stared in the direction the man was pointing, thought for a moment, nodded, and then thanked the man.
"Yes, thank you for your guidance."
Despite having many questions, the situation was urgent and they could not afford to delay any longer.
Without further hesitation, Huan Yuechu and her group turned and sped toward the mountain.
Along the way, the surrounding scenery became increasingly gloomy and terrifying, as if an invisible shadow was quietly spreading.
