432: Everyone! Do you want to survive?

Inside Black Rock Valley.

The burly man backhanded the thousand-year-old mysterious turtle shell toward Su Ming.

"Hurry up and set up a Formation!"

"Otherwise, we will all die in the mouths of these Eerie Creatures!"

Su Ming reached out and caught the turtle shell; it felt cold and heavy in his hand.

He did not hesitate for a second!

Spiritual power erupted from Su Ming's fingertips, tracing through the Void Realm.

The next second, beams of starlight lit up, each one resembling a star in the night sky.

The Formation Su Ming was setting up was none other than one of the strongest defensive Formations of the Tianji Pavilion—the Zhoutian Star Formation!

This Formation was passed down by Zhuge Qing!

Although Zhuge Qing was a genius, he could not cultivate this Formation due to the restrictions of the Space Law.

Therefore, he could only teach this Formation to Su Ming.

And this Formation had almost harsh requirements for the comprehension of the Space Law, which happened to fit Su Ming's talent perfectly.

Su Ming placed the thousand-year-old mysterious turtle shell in the center of the Formation!

As his final hand seal fell, the patterns on the turtle shell suddenly shone brilliantly!

Hum! A dull, loud sound rang out!

A brilliant beam of starlight shot up into the sky from the turtle shell!

Then, it instantly spread out in the air, transforming into a star map that blotted out the sky.

Countless starlight points circulated, finally forming a visible transparent barrier that firmly protected the ten-zhang radius within it.

Almost the moment the Formation took shape, the Eerie Creature in the front slammed into it fiercely.

There was no earth-shattering noise, only dead silence.

The twisted ball of flesh hit the starlight barrier without causing a single ripple.

Immediately after, group after group of Eerie Creatures rushed forward, frantically striking the barrier.

However, no matter how they attacked, that thin layer of starlight barrier never showed any cracks!

The stars on the Formation circulated, forming their own world, dissolving all attacks into nothingness.

Inside the Formation, the few people who had escaped death went limp.

They collapsed to the ground almost simultaneously, gasping for air.

The burly man even touched his neck; the chill left by the sharp claw just now seemed to still be clinging to his skin.

"Hoo... hoo..."

Su Chen sat down on the ground, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

He gave a thumbs up to the slightly pale-faced Su Ming and grinned, saying,

"Buddy, you've hidden your skills too well!"

"I didn't expect you to know such a powerful Formation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the tense atmosphere eased significantly.

Su Ming rolled his eyes at him and sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing.

Setting up this Formation consumed a great deal of his mental energy.

At this moment, the gazes of the other three fell squarely on Su Chen, the meaning in their eyes self-evident.

The burly man spoke in a hoarse voice.

"We are safe for now, but we can't stay trapped here forever."

"When will the rescue you mentioned arrive?"

Su Chen waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't worry! Can't you trust me when I handle things?"

"The message has already been sent to Su Qingyuan. Once she receives it, she will definitely arrange for manpower immediately."

He paused, then held up a finger with a confident expression.

"If nothing goes wrong, the rescue team will be able to arrive here in a month!"

As his voice fell, the valley once again fell into a dead silence.

The look of relief on the faces of the other three froze instantly.

A month?

They had heard Su Chen say it would take a month before, but they thought he was just scaring them, and that in reality, the rescue might only take half a month to arrive.

However, they did not expect that it would really take a month.

Then, the three looked at the group of Eerie Creatures outside that were still frantically striking.

They looked again at the thousand-year-old mysterious turtle shell in the center of the Formation acting as the core.

The burly man's face twitched, and he looked at Su Ming with a dry voice.

"Bro... brother, can this Formation hold for a month?"

Upon hearing this, the corners of Su Ming's mouth curled up slightly.

"Maybe!"

"I'm not sure either!"

Su Ming's ambiguous words caused everyone's hearts to sink to the bottom again.

Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Su Chen quickly said.

"Don't worry, reinforcements will arrive in one month at the latest, and there is a high probability they will arrive early!"

"No need to be nervous!"

...

Just like that, the five of them huddled in this tiny space, beginning their agonizing days that felt like years.

For the first few days, the Formation was as stable as a mountain!

They could still remain optimistic.

But as time went on, the attacks outside never stopped.

Every strike brought violent tremors.

By the tenth day.

When an exceptionally powerful attack struck the barrier, the Formation let out a cracking sound.

Su Chen opened his eyes abruptly, and his face sank.

The others also clearly felt it.

At this moment, the starlight of the Zhoutian Star Formation began to dim.

On the barrier, the first faint crack appeared, spreading like a spider web.

From this moment on, the atmosphere inside the confined space changed completely.

Su Chen stopped joking; he stared fixedly at the Formation, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

And the other three began to look grave.

The sinister side of human nature quietly grew in this desperate situation.

At this very moment, they were no longer teammates fighting side by side, but four strangers trapped in the same cage, calculating each other's remaining value.

Except for Su Ming.

As the mastermind behind all this, this was exactly his goal.

For the final harvest, and to get closer to Su Qingyuan.

...

Day after day, the cracks grew more numerous, and the starlight teetered on the brink of collapse.

Finally, on the twentieth day of their endurance.

The offensive of the Eerie Creatures outside seemed to have reached its peak.

The deafening sounds of impact merged into one.

Boom—!

With a loud bang, it felt as if the entire Black Rock Valley was trembling.

The starlight of the Zhoutian Star Formation burst, and the thousand-year-old mysterious turtle shell at the core let out a cracking sound from the unbearable burden, shattering into countless pieces.

The barrier disappeared.

"It's over!"

The burly man roared in despair and immediately sacrificed his defensive Magic Treasure.

But in front of the first batch of incoming Eerie Creatures, that Magic Treasure was as fragile as paper.

The few of them fell into extreme panic.

After twenty days of waiting, they still hadn't waited for reinforcements.

Despair swallowed everything.

Just at the moment the first Eerie Creature opened its bloody maw and its sharp claws were about to tear the burly man's throat.

A cold voice rang out in the chaos.

"Heaven Slaying."

Without any unnecessary movements, Su Ming's figure instantly appeared at the very front.

He no longer suppressed his power.

The Great Void Immortal Sword appeared in his hand out of thin air.

He slashed with his sword, and the Sword Qi was like a rainbow.

Heaven Slaying Slash!

The silvery-white sword light carried an unrivaled destructive power.

It instantly enveloped the dozen or so Eerie Creatures in the front.

These Eerie Creatures didn't even have time to scream before they were completely crushed by the destructive power.

Su Chen's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"Holy crap! Buddy, you're this fierce?"

Su Ming sheathed his sword and stood there, as if he had just casually swung it.

He turned around and looked at the four people behind him, who were dumbfounded, with a playful smile.

"Everyone, do you want to survive?"
