The valley was still shrouded in thick fog, and one wouldn't be able to see his entire body from twenty feet away. As a result, the five of them had been walking side by side. Zi Yuan was worried that Murong Xiu would suddenly change his mind, so she broke both of his arms and gave him a pill that restricted his true energy. This pill's effects were exactly the same as the previous pill. In this way, Murong Xiu wouldn't be able to operate his martial arts and his hands were broken. It would be difficult for him to ambush Feng Lingxue.

When Yunji saw Violet Garden's action, she cast a complicated glance at Feng Lingxue. However, the latter had no expression at all, so she threw away the messy thoughts in her mind and wholeheartedly searched for Formation Apertures.

She brought the four of them to the first formation she discovered. There was a mechanism set up for mechas. As soon as someone approached, they would fire arrows from all directions.

Fortunately, there were only a few people. If the army had come over, many people would not have had the time to dodge and would have been killed by the arrow. He just didn't know if the arrows inside the mechanism had been used up by Helian troops before, or if there were people who had set up a formation to replenish the arrows these days.

Amongst the five of them, Murong Xiu was the unluckiest. At this time, Feng Lingxue suddenly didn't care about him and only cared about her life. He could not operate his martial arts, and could only rely on his own body to instinctively avoid the hidden arrows.

After shooting for a quarter of an hour, the arrows finally stopped. Murong Xiu's shoulder was hit by two arrows. However, after seeing that the arrows weren't poisoned, Murong Xiu let out a sigh of relief.

Yunji brought everyone to the front of the mechanism. It turned out to be a row of crossbow mechanisms made of wood and fine iron. Qu Shuangshuang was very interested in these mechanisms and happily ran over to check them out. So the reason why these mechanisms did not shoot anymore was because they had run out of arrows.

Yun Ji carefully inspected it and regretfully said, "This eye of the formation is a fake eye that confuses the field of vision."

Thus, everyone took a short break and prepared to head to the next formation Yunji discovered. Before leaving, Zi Yuan asked Feng Lingxue for a fire piston, lit a fire, and threw it onto the mechanism formed from wood and fine iron.

As they were walking, Yunji suddenly stopped everyone's steps. She took out a hidden weapon from her body and shot it close to the ground. Everyone saw a metal blade that was spinning at high speeds appear on the nearest ground.

"It seems like I need to find the switch that is shutting down these mechanisms. This should be the true eye of the formation." Yunji's face once again revealed a confident expression.

"Among us, the one with the best Qing Gong is you, Master." Yunji suddenly revealed a coy expression.

Feng Lingxue nodded: "I understand, I'll go find this switch."

Thus, Feng Lingxue executed her "Flutter Butterfly Dance", gracefully half-floating on the ground, and rushed into the thick fog before their eyes. After about the time it takes to make a cup of tea, the high-speed blade in front of him stopped spinning.

"Master is really powerful!" A hint of fanaticism flashed through Yun Ji's eyes. She quickly regained her composure and led Murong Xiu forward in place of Feng Lingxue. After the four of them met up with Feng Lingxue, Yunji began to calculate the possible positions of the eye of the formation. Qu Shuangshuang was squatting down and watching with interest as she raised her own questions or suggestions from time to time.

Since the terrain was narrow and similar to a rectangular valley, it was possible that the next eye of the formation would be in front. However, this mechanism might be in the valley, or it might be on a nearby mountain. According to Yun Ji's calculations, the next true formation eye would definitely be on a mountain nearby. However, there was a high possibility that there would be a fake formation eye like the first one. Amongst the five of them, the only one who couldn't dodge arrows was the restricted Murong Xiu. However, Zi Yuan didn't intend to give Murong Xiu the antidote. In this thick fog, Murong Xiu, who didn't have any inner force, was safe.

As they followed Yun Ji, they indeed encountered two more false eye attacks. These two times, Murong Xiu had experienced it and dodged the arrows without any danger.

"We already have three false Formation Apertures," Yun Ji said while counting, "The Eight Lightning Formation has a total of eight, four true Formation Apertures and four false Formation Apertures. We've already found three false Formation Apertures, now we only have one."

"This way, it's actually pretty good for us. We can stop using our brains." Little Shuang Shuang said like an adult.

As they spoke, a thunderclap exploded above their heads.

"Dodge!" At the same time, she picked up Qu Shuangshuang and rolled on the ground. Zi Yuan, who had a child, had a mother's charm that flickered all the time. This time, he was no exception to Shuangshuang.

Yun Ji and Feng Lingxue had already flown into the air. While avoiding the sudden explosion, they searched for a mechanism to shut down.

Murong Xiu didn't have any inner strength, so his martial arts skills were still there. He shook his body, causing the metal chain in front of him to fly up and grab onto it with his hands. Then, he used the metal chain to wrap around the lightning that had fallen from the sky and threw it far away with his wrist. Once, she almost threw herself at Feng Lingxue, causing her to curse loudly in the air while disregarding her own image. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

Heavenly thunder kept falling from the sky, Yun Ji and Feng Lingxue were still unable to find the mechanism to stop it. Thus, Zi Yuan performed his Qing Gong on himself and went to the hillside to search.

After another incense stick of time, the heavenly thunder suddenly stopped.

Qu Shuangshuang's cheerful voice came from the ground, "I found it!"

The three adults in the air returned to the ground and began to laugh. They thought the device was probably on the hillside, but they didn't expect a child to find it on the ground.

There were four Formation Apertures in front of him, one fake and three real. In other words, the mechanism that they would encounter in the future would most likely be the true Formation Aperture.

"If the first Formation Aperture could be considered a mine, then the second would be a thunderstorm. In that case, it should be a thunderstorm and a thunderstorm." Yun Ji said to everyone.

However, Zi Yuan frowned and said, "That's not right. I feel that something isn't right."

"What's wrong?" Feng Lingxue asked.

"Helian and his men are trapped in this formation with seventy thousand people. Why didn't we see these seventy thousand people when we entered?"

"Hehe," Yun Ji covered her mouth and laughed. This action of hers finally made this little girl, who gave them a cold feeling, even more charming, "Empress of the Northern Yue really doesn't know much about formations."

"Benefactor, it's like this," Qu Shuangshuang volunteered to be in charge of explaining, "The reason why formations belong to the Gate of Wonder is because they have characteristics different from people's common sense. The Northern Yue Army entered the formation at a different time from us, so what we saw inside the formation is also different. Moreover, the Eight Lightning Formation was a spatial formation. The more people entered, the larger the space they would be able to sense. The fewer people there were, the smaller the space would be. Therefore, we have just arrived here, and have spent so much time here. For the North Vietnamese Army, it might take them a full day of marching to reach here. However, the Formation Aperture is real. Now that we have broken through two of them, I believe that the situation for the Northern Yue Army should be better. "

The truth was as Qu Shuangshuang had said. At this moment, the Northern Vietnamese army that had already fallen into the Eight Lightning Formation and lost half of their forces could clearly feel the fog in the valley gradually thinning out. The lightning that had been striking him from the sky for no apparent reason had also disappeared.

Helian Haoyan couldn't help but be excited as he said to Vice General Yuan Hao, "It must be Zi Yuan who came to save us!"

For a time, the morale of the Northern Yue Army rose significantly. The survival belief that was about to be extinguished returned back to the hearts of every single soldier.

Helian Lie decided to set up camp on the spot and no longer blindly move forward. He used his theory of array formation to search for the core of the formation. He had a feeling that this array would be broken within this day!

To the group from the Violet Garden, there were only three Formation Apertures left. One of them was a fake Formation Aperture. The chances of finding the Formation Aperture was still more than half the rate of finding a True Aperture.

The Formation Aperture Yun Ji found this time was the last fake one. After they switched off the crossbow, they discovered that this was the place where the real and fake Formation Aperture combined together. They turned off the crossbow and triggered the attack of a mechanical beast.

The bomb on the mechanical beast and the little heavenly thunder shot towards them at lightning speed. If it weren't for the fact that the four adults had unique skills and were nimble in dodging, they would have been either killed or crippled by the explosion.

"How can we make the mechanical beast stop?!" Feng Lingxue asked Yun Ji.

"I don't know either!" Yun Ji replied, and in the blink of an eye, Violet Garden pushed the kid, Qu Shuangshuang, into her embrace, then charged towards the mechanical beast.

"It's easy to make this fellow fall!" At this moment, Zi Yuan's speed was extremely fast. He activated his killer's movement technique at full speed, avoiding the incoming bombs with a strong gust of hot wind without any danger.

This scene made Shuangshuang cheer and cheer for her. This burst of killer aura also made Murong Xiu sigh with emotion. He spoke to Feng Lingxue with a rather nostalgic tone: "This is how domineering the Violet Garden that I know is!"

Feng Lingxue also looked passionately at the petite figure that circled around the colossus, and asked: "Are you really not going to help?"

Murong Xiu shrugged his shoulders. "I don't have any internal energy right now, so avoiding this lightning will be very taxing."

Feng Lingxue narrowed her eyes: "Are you sure you aren't going to help?"

Murong Xiu once again dodged a bomb. After sighing, he shouted at Violet Garden, who was filled with killing intent, "The weakness lies behind your waist!"

"So noisy!" I have long since discovered it! " Zi Yuan had indeed discovered it, but the bomb's abrasion had left traces of blood all over her body, making her look rather miserable.

After fighting for another moment, the monster suddenly stopped moving.

Feng Lingxue shouted loudly: "Zi Yuan! Get out of the way! " At the same time, he quickly retreated with Murong Xiu. Yunji also backed off with Qu Shuangshuang. Qu Shuangshuang shouted, "Sister Zi Yuan! "Benefactor — —" At this time, the mechanical beast began to explode from the inside, and along with the crossbow mechanism, it exploded into a sea of flames in front of everyone's eyes.

Sparks appeared in Qu Shuangshuang's eyes. Yunji and Feng Lingxue also looked at the sea of fire with worry. Only Murong Xiu was on the ground and said, "Zi Yuan has definitely dodged it. What are you worried about?"

Just as Murong Xiu finished speaking, a valiant and formidable figure emerged from the sea of flames. That figure walked step by step towards them, and Qu Shuangshuang broke free from Yun Ji's embrace and threw herself into his arms.

Murong Xiu curled his lips and said, "I knew she wouldn't die that easily, right?"

Although she didn't die, Zi Yuan was rather exhausted. There were many wounds on her body that were bleeding. Feng Lingxue took the initiative to cut off the fabric of her clothes and gave it to Yun Ji, asking Yun Ji to bandage her wounds and stop the bleeding.

"..." There's only one needle hole left. " Zi Yuan's eyes were somewhat anxious. "We need to break this formation before the sky turns dark as soon as possible!"

"I think you'd better rest." Right now, she really admired this woman in front of her who also looked cold and hard. After witnessing everything that had just happened with her own eyes, she couldn't help but feel that the Empress of Northern Yue was truly a powerful figure! It was no wonder that the goddess-like marquis in his own household would be attracted to the empress. This woman called Zi Yuan was indeed very attractive!

"No way!" Zi Yuan frowned. "We need to break the formation as soon as possible!" Helian and the others have been trapped here for half a month. I have to hurry and break this formation! Yun Ji, I don't need to rest! " She held onto Yunji's hand tightly, the eagerness in her eyes made Yunji's heart soften.

"Okay, okay, no rest. Let's keep going! "

The four of them carefully avoided the sea of fire and continued forward. By nightfall, the last eye of the formation had been activated.
