410: Brick Flying
Yue Xiaojie stood before Uncle Zhang and slapped him.
"Uncle Zhang, do you think I can trust anyone else in this place besides you?"
"Miss, how did you get in here!"
Yue Xiaojie, who had always held her head high with arrogance, looked at Uncle Zhang's injuries and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Uncle Zhang, why are you so foolish? If you're gone, what use am I? If I live and get out alone, I still won't escape the family's targeting of me!"
Yue Xiaojie spoke while crying, her eyes filled with extreme pain.
She couldn't imagine how she would act in the family without Uncle Zhang.
One must know that the family members are all ruthless; if Uncle Zhang hadn't been protecting her before, she would have probably been decapitated long ago.
"Miss, even if this body of mine can get out alive now, it will require a large amount of medicinal treasures, which is truly troubling for you!"
"Uncle Zhang, stop saying such things. You have already shown me immense kindness, how could I abandon you when you are in danger!"
It must be said that Yue Xiaojie's words truly moved him, and also made Chen Tianming look at her in a new light.
"Miss, now is not the time for impulsive actions. The most crucial thing now should be to ensure your safety and allow you to leave smoothly!"
Sometimes, a person's mission is not so easy to change, especially for someone like Uncle Zhang, who was born into the family.
Yue Xiaojie had heard these words countless times; to others, they might be terrifying, but to her, they were quite common.
Ignoring Chen Tianming's confused gaze, Yue Xiaojie looked around.
"Chen Tianming, I know your strength is extraordinary. This time, even if I beg you, you must have a way to break this, right!"
Yue Xiaojie didn't know where she got such confidence, but in her opinion, Chen Tianming's strength was indeed enough to achieve this.
"Miss Yue, I think you've misunderstood. If I could get out, I wouldn't hide it. It wouldn't benefit either of us, would it?"
"..."
Hearing these words, Yue Xiaojie could only remain silent, the light in her eyes dimming slightly.
She didn't know if she believed Chen Tianming's words, or if she felt that no matter the situation, it meant she had no hope.
"Don't be so down. Although I can't help you, it doesn't mean we have no way out."
"Oh, really? Then quickly tell me!"
Yue Xiaojie looked at Chen Tianming excitedly. She wasn't a fool; she naturally knew that the problem she encountered was unsolvable.
"Don't rush. First, tell me how you got in?"
"I..."
Yue Xiaojie gritted her teeth: "Uncle Chen, actually, I don't know either. When I woke up, I was already here. It's very strange."
Listening to Yue Xiaojie's explanation, Chen Tianming couldn't help but think of what he had encountered.
He and Uncle Zhang also entered this place under unknown circumstances, indicating that most of the time, this place can unconsciously draw people in.
"It's the same as how we came, but I just don't understand if this is due to a spatial reason, or something else..."
A few people had some doubts in their hearts, but at this moment, none of them could explain why.
"If we don't know the principle, can we still get out smoothly? Or do we just have to accept our fate?"
Yue Xiaojie looked at Uncle Zhang's appearance and couldn't help but ask.
She knew that if this happened to others, they would probably have given up resistance and resigned themselves to fate.
After all, these people themselves are not geniuses, nor are they that powerful.
Uncle Zhang shook his head: "Although I haven't seen it, I know this kind of thing is not simple."
"Tell me, what should I do? I'll listen to you."
"I think this matter is related to us. Let's start by checking Uncle Zhang's memories."
Chen Tianming's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't believe there would be such a coincidence.
"Forget it, let's try brute force. I want to see if this formation is really that powerful."
"Boom!"
The wooden stick in Chen Tianming's hand hit the floor, making a loud noise.
Yue Xiaojie and Uncle Zhang looked at the ground Chen Tianming had smashed and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
Just now, they had only moved their fingers slightly, without using true qi, yet there was such great power. It was like a small mountain crashing down at their feet.
"Chen Brother's strength is truly astonishing."
"This method can probably only be achieved by Chen Brother. We are truly inferior to you!"
"You all should save these compliments for another time. After all, for us, this kind of thing is quite common, isn't it?"
Such a small discussion was worthless to Chen Tianming.
At the same time, the formation was broken, and Chen Tianming even obtained some strange information from it.
His face sank, and he said coldly, "Alright, enough with the nonsense. You two sit aside first, I need to look for something."
Yue Xiaojie and Uncle Zhang did not dare to disobey Chen Tianming's wishes and sat obediently to the side, waiting.
Chen Tianming walked over to Uncle Zhang, placed his right hand on Uncle Zhang's forehead, and began to observe his memories.
After a while, Chen Tianming opened his eyes and said, "There's a restriction in this person's body, and there's a mysterious power within his body."
Yue Xiaojie and Uncle Zhang couldn't help but ask, "Mysterious power?"
"Yes, it's this mysterious power that prevents us from entering here, and this is what I thought of. As long as it can be dispelled, we won't be marked by this place, and we can leave."
Yue Xiaojie hesitated for a moment and asked, "What kind of restriction is it?"
"It's a formation, and not an ordinary one. Don't underestimate it," Chen Tianming said seriously.
"What? You're not talking nonsense, are you? Uncle Zhang and we are together! If there really was a restriction, wouldn't we know?"
Yue Xiaojie was a little angry.
Because for Yue Xiaojie, Uncle Zhang was the person she relied on to survive, and Chen Tianming's words now were tantamount to slandering Uncle Zhang.
"Whether you believe it or not is your business. Anyway, for us, our current goal is to escape!"
These words were almost heartless, but Yue Xiaojie couldn't refute them, because their relationship wasn't really good enough for that level.
The illusion seemed to be broken, but in reality, the dangers awaiting them had not yet ended.
"Be careful."
Now, Chen Tianming didn't trust the ground beneath their feet; dangers were hidden everywhere, they just hadn't realized it yet.
"Tsk, this is really bad."
Chen Tianming said, staring at the rotting flesh on the ground, with Wu Wenlong's clothes nearby.
