Breaking the formation

Xiao Feng was about to make a move on Taowu.

Zhao Yuwei spoke up from the side: "Don't act yet. I've figured out some of the mechanics of this Formation. We might need to borrow Taowu's power in a moment to get out safely."

After hearing Zhao Yuwei say this, Xiao Feng immediately stopped what he was doing, kicked Taowu directly, and walked over to Zhao Yuwei's side.

Knowing that Zhao Yuwei's research into Formations was much deeper than his own, Xiao Feng squatted beside her and watched as she deduced the method to break the Formation.

After deducing for half an hour, Zhao Yuwei stretched her somewhat stiff limbs and then spoke: "Breaking this Formation is not easy."

"This Formation is interlinked. Currently, it hasn't attacked us because we haven't triggered it."

"But if we want to pick the dragon blood fruit or try to leave the Formation, it will immediately launch an attack against us. Judging by the patterns of the Formation, its attack power is likely not weak."

Hearing Zhao Yuwei say this, Xiao Feng turned his head directly to look at Taowu: "Do you really not know how to disable the Formation?"

Taowu spoke up immediately: "If I knew, how could I have been trapped here? I would have certainly left this place long ago."

"I really just passed by this place before and knew there was a dragon blood fruit tree here. I truly don't know what's going on with this Formation!"

Xiao Feng did not believe Taowu's words.

When they were searching for treasures earlier, Taowu had tried to scam them.

However, Taowu had not succeeded in scamming them a single time.

Xiao Feng had lost count of how many times he had taught Taowu a lesson along this journey.

Unexpectedly, after just one day without a beating, Taowu was reverting to its old ways.

Xiao Feng was certain that Taowu definitely knew how to get out of the Formation.

"I think you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Do you want me to remind you again? I can absorb all of your cultivation at any time, so you had better not play any tricks on me," Xiao Feng threatened Taowu.

Taowu's expression stiffened, but it still spoke stubbornly: "Since you've already said that my life and death are in your hands, how could I dare to deceive you? I don't know the situation here, and that's just the truth. Even if you kill me, I still don't know!"

Xiao Feng had already seen through Taowu's disguise. No longer willing to waste time, he let out a cold laugh, placed his hand on Taowu, and prepared to drain all of its remaining cultivation.

Taowu wanted to dodge.

But Xiao Feng simply activated a secret technique.

Taowu immediately felt an unbearable pain spreading through its limbs and bones, causing it to instantly lose strength and drop to one knee on the ground.

Xiao Feng's hand was already resting on Taowu's head.

Taowu was panicked and helpless. Could it be that today it would truly lift a rock only to drop it on its own feet?

It had originally intended to use the matter of how to leave the Formation to blackmail Xiao Feng into lifting the secret technique on its body and granting it freedom.

It never expected Xiao Feng to be so ruthless as to try and absorb all of its cultivation.

Taowu hurriedly spoke: "Stop! I can tell you how to break this Formation, but I want to make a deal with you!"

Xiao Feng stopped his hand, glanced coldly at Taowu, and then said: "What kind of deal do you want to make?"

Taowu gritted its teeth: "I want you to remove the secret technique on me and return my freedom!"

Xiao Feng refused decisively: "That's impossible. If I lift the secret technique on you, who knows how you might scam us later?"

Taowu widened its eyes and spoke angrily: "I wouldn't! I never want to see you hateful humans again. As long as you let me go, I can promise you."

"I absolutely will not scam you again, and I absolutely will not harm you again. My cultivation is almost completely absorbed by you; how could I possibly still be your match!"

Taowu had thought that if it yielded to Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng would release it.

It was a pity that it still did not understand what it meant for the human heart to be treacherous.

Taowu had not been honest or well-behaved at all along this journey, constantly trying to scam Xiao Feng and the others.

If it weren't for the fact that Taowu was wary of Xiao Feng holding its lifeline, it would have likely led Xiao Feng and the others into even more dangerous traps long ago.

If Xiao Feng had trusted Taowu, he would have already been scammed to death on the road by Taowu.

"Change to a different condition. I will absolutely not lift the secret technique on you. Anyway, if you don't tell us how to get out of the Formation, the moment we trigger it later, I will throw you out directly and let you be the shield. Think about it carefully yourself!"

Hearing Xiao Feng say this, Taowu widened its eyes, unable to believe there could be such a shameless person in the world.

What it found even more unbelievable was that after Xiao Feng said this, he didn't give it any chance to think, instead placing his hand back on top of its head and beginning to absorb the magic power in its body.

Feeling its meager remaining cultivation, Taowu was so angry that its teeth ached.

However, it couldn't hold on for long.

It didn't want to die, so it had no choice but to yield to the hateful man in front of it.

"Stop! I'll tell you! You are not allowed to absorb any more of my cultivation!" Taowu was furious.

Xiao Feng pulled his hand away from Taowu's head unhurriedly, then looked at Taowu coldly: "Well? Speak up."

Taowu was angry, but it also knew that its plan had failed once again.

It had no choice but to begrudgingly reveal the method to break the Formation.

Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei naturally would not believe Taowu's words immediately.

After hearing the method to break the Formation from Taowu, Zhao Yuwei immediately began to deduce it against the current Formation.

Taowu spoke up from the side in disbelief: "You still don't believe me? We've reached this point, why would I still lie to you!"

Taowu became even angrier.

As for Zhao Yuwei, after deducing it twice and confirming that the method Taowu mentioned to break the Formation was effective, she nodded at Xiao Feng.

Subsequently, Zhao Yuwei formed seals with both hands.

As Zhao Yuwei struck one wave of magic power after another into the Formation, the previously barely visible Formation gradually began to shine brightly.

Even though she knew how to break the Formation, it was still somewhat strenuous for Zhao Yuwei.

Su Xueqing noticed Zhao Yuwei's struggle, bit her red lip gently, and finally walked to Zhao Yuwei's side, channeling her own magic power into Zhao Yuwei's body.

With Su Xueqing's support, the speed of the seals in Zhao Yuwei's hands became even faster.

As the light of the Formation in front of them became more and more dazzling, Xiao Feng could feel the isolation effect of the Formation growing weaker and weaker, which proved that the Formation was about to be broken.

The moment the Formation was broken, Xiao Feng quickly used immortal power to send Zhao Yuwei and the others out of the Formation's range first.

He himself quickly went to the dragon blood fruit tree and picked all the mature dragon blood fruit.

However, when Xiao Feng was picking the fruit, he discovered that this place was not without a guardian Spirit Beast.

It was just that the guardian Spirit Beast was a python coiled around the dragon blood fruit tree.

The dragon blood fruit tree grew very large, and its tangled branches could easily hide the python's tracks.
