Chapter 196 People’s Hearts Are Scattered

The blood-colored light curtain was turbulent, and the blood light at the attacked place became even dimmer. Although the loophole was finally repaired, it can be seen that the power of the entire formation is decreasing little by little. Perhaps it will not be long before a real loophole will appear.

Two more rounds passed, and the cultivators were almost at their limit. The talismans on their bodies had been used up long ago. Those who used spells had already used up most of their true energy. If they had not taken the Qi-replenishing pill in time, their true energy might have run out. If they encountered any danger, they would probably have no means to resist; as for those who used magic tools at the beginning, after three rounds, the magic tools were severely damaged, and the power was at least reduced by 10% or 20%.

As for the formation in front of them, the blood light was extremely dim. After the last attack, the attacked part even had a large hole more than ten feet wide, which lasted for several breaths before gradually recovering. It seemed that the energy of the formation was no longer continuous. At most, one more round would break the formation completely, and everyone would be safe.

Many people showed a smile on their faces, which was a smile of surviving a disaster. This time, they not only did not find the jade spirit marrow, but also did not get a piece of jade spirit dew. Many people even consumed the only remaining talismans and pills on their bodies. It can be said that the gains did not outweigh the losses.

But when I turned around and thought about it, compared with my own life, what were those losses? I encountered such a serious situation, but I was able to save my life. This trip was finally safe and sound. How could there be no bumps and ridges on the road to cultivation?

This time it was the turn of the first group again. They had already made preparations. At the command of the team leader, dozens of attacks attacked the same part of the blood-colored light curtain. This was already the fourth round of attacks by the first group. The continuous attacks caused many cultivators to suffer serious loss of true energy, so the strength of this attack was also somewhat weaker than before.

However, the formation outside was also at the end of its strength. After a loud rumbling sound, a large hole more than two meters wide appeared in the attacked part, and it did not recover for a long time. Seeing that the gap in the formation was getting bigger and bigger, everyone was overjoyed, and the formation was finally going to be broken.

At this moment, suddenly, several figures flashed among the people, and rushed directly to the gap in the light curtain in front. When everyone reacted, those figures had already rushed out of the light curtain and rushed out of the mine.

At this time, everyone finally reacted. Those guys actually took advantage of the formation to open the hole and drilled out of the hole directly. They ran away first without caring about the safety of the people behind them. This scene immediately caused everyone to curse inwardly, and at the same time, they were all eager to move. Others could escape in advance, why couldn't they? Could they stay here to cover everyone's rear and wait for the mastermind behind to come and catch them all in one fell swoop?

At this time, the hole of the blood-colored light curtain has gradually recovered, and it is impossible to escape again. However, looking at the appearance of the monks present, they all seem to have the same plan. Once the hole is opened again, they will definitely rush to escape. As for those who can't escape, they can only find a way by themselves.

Why did they discuss that they must completely break the formation before leaving? It is to avoid this situation. Once people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to organize again, because everyone is afraid of being left behind. The fewer people are left, the more difficult it is to open the hole of the formation. The last batch may be exhausted to death in the formation, so no one wants to stay at the end.

Just a few people's rush to escape first destroyed the opportunity that everyone had created with great difficulty. Sometimes people's hearts are like this. For personal temporary selfishness, or to save one's own life, they disregard the interests and lives of more people.

This is equivalent to a group of people being trapped in a burning house. As long as everyone works together to smash the door open, they can escape calmly. However, one or two of them, for personal gain, rush out first when they just smashed a dog hole. When the others saw it, they all gave up smashing the door and squeezed through the dog hole to climb out.

The result is imaginable. It is possible that the person in front escaped, and the person behind did not have time to climb out and was burned to death in the room; it is also possible that everyone was blocked at the entrance of the hole, and in the end no one escaped, and all were burned to death in the room, becoming a complete tragedy.

The three friends of Sui Han were so angry that they stomped their feet but could do nothing. They made up their minds and even made plans to escape first. As long as the entrance of the hole was opened again, the three of them would escape together. The cultivators in the Kaimai realm would definitely not be able to rob them. As for the rest, who cares if they live or die?

Seeing that everyone had evil thoughts, Qingyang could not help but get anxious. Among so many cultivators present, his cultivation might be the lowest. Once the cave entrance was opened, he would definitely not be able to compete with others. He might become the unlucky person left in the formation. However, his strength was definitely not enough to open the cave entrance of the formation, which meant that he might be completely trapped in the formation.

What should I do? Will I really die here this time?

Suddenly, several screams came from the mine, and then two figures fled back at a faster speed. These two figures were none other than the two who had just escaped. They were terrified, and they looked behind them while running, as if there was a peerless beast chasing them.

Everyone's heart sank suddenly. The worst situation finally happened. There was someone guarding outside the formation, and it was very likely that it was the mastermind behind the scene that everyone guessed.

Just now, the formation was opened, and a total of five people escaped. Combined with the three screams heard just now and the two people who escaped back, none of the five people escaped, which means that the outside has laid a net of heaven and earth. Even if the formation is broken, they can't escape.

Although the five people didn't escape, no one gloated, because everyone's situation was not much better. There was a formation inside and masters outside. There was really no way to survive. What should we do? Are we all going to be buried in this thousand caves?

Of course, some people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Qingyang was one of them. Since everyone couldn't escape, they could only share the same hatred and overcome the difficulties together, and they didn't have to worry about being left alone in the formation.

"Tap...tap...tap..."

The sound of light footsteps echoed from a nearby mine, as if stepping on everyone's heart, just like the footsteps of the soul-catching messenger, approaching little by little. Everyone held their breath and looked quietly at the direction where the sound came from, not even daring to breathe. The two monks who had just escaped collapsed on the ground, terrified to death, yet unable to stand up.
