Otherwise, if these people wanted to trick him, they could have done it elsewhere. There was no need for them to come here.
"Very good, Young Hero Xiao is really young and promising. Your heroic spirit reaches the clouds!" Tagan Shanxiong laughed and said, "In that case, I won't hide it from you. In a while, we will open the formation. The five of us will attack it, but we need a demonic cultivator to help us resist the formation's backlash!"
"Oh? The formation's backlash? "Xiao Chen frowned." Do I have to resist it? "
"Yes, the formation here is very strange. If there are Devil Cultivators here, they will simply choose the Devil Cultivators to suffer from the backlash. As for us, we don't need to be tired of dealing with the backlash of the formation. But you will have to work hard alone!" Tagan Shanxiong said, "This formation is very well hidden. No one should have discovered it before, so if we break it, we should be the first to enter. Besides spirit stones, I can give you more of the good stuff inside."
"Then will I be in danger?" Xiao Chen asked.
"At this point, there definitely won't be any big danger, but there will be small dangers." Tagan Shanxiong said, "If I want to lie to you, I can completely deceive you and let you suffer the formation's backlash. But I'm telling you in advance. You can also see my sincerity. Whether you want to go or not, it's up to you!"
The more he acted like this, the more a normal person would believe him. However, because Xiao Chen had his suspicions before, he didn't completely believe his words. In Xiao Chen's opinion, perhaps half of what this person said was true, but it wasn't completely true. If he completely believed it, then he would really be a fool.
"Then why didn't you find a demonic cultivator to help before? Why did you wait until now?" Xiao Chen asked with some doubt. Since this formation needed the help of a demonic cultivator, then what did they do before? If they couldn't find a demonic cultivator, Xiao Chen would not believe it!
If they could form a team with a random person at the entrance of a cultivation ruin, then how could they not find a reliable candidate before? Was that even possible?
Tagan Shanxiong smiled bitterly and said, "This, we didn't even think about breaking that formation. We just wanted to find some formations that had been broken before and see if there were any good things inside! We didn't even consider these unknown formations. After all, even if the formation is broken, there might still be danger in the treasury, because danger and benefits coexist. Everyone understands this logic. "
"So you changed your mind when you saw me?" Xiao Chen naturally didn't believe this excuse.
"Of course not. Previously, I met an old acquaintance in the desert. He told me some news!" Tagan Shanxiong said, "This old friend of mine is a local tyrant in this area. He has some information that others don't know about. Because he is familiar with me, he told me this information!"
"Oh? What news? " After Xiao Chen heard that, he nodded without batting an eyelid. It sounded like breaking the current formation was a last-minute decision.
"This friend of mine is called Wang Kaichao. He has been doing well in the Hakunamata Desert. He is an old adventurer here. Of course, he rarely takes risks now. After he has a family, he mainly makes a living by inquiring about and selling information, as well as helping people solve problems. He basically doesn't come to the desert anymore. This time, I came early, so I went to Brother Wang's place to sit for a while. That's when I heard this news: In the treasury behind this formation, there is an Extraterrestrial Ink Meteorite! I wonder if Young Hero Xiao knows about this thing? "
"What?! Extraterrestrial Ink Meteorite! " Xiao Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Tagan Shanxiong's real goal to be this Extraterrestrial Ink Meteorite. It seemed that the news that Xia Zhili had received was not fake. Now, others had also received this news.
"Yes, Young Hero Xiao's reaction means that you must know about this thing. If it was an ordinary treasure, we might have given up, but this thing is too precious!" Tagan Shanxiong said, "I also told this news to my companions at the last minute. They are also very supportive of finding a Devil Cultivator to form a team and break the formation."
"So that's how it is. No wonder, with such a precious treasure, anyone would change their mind at the last minute!" Xiao Chen suddenly understood and then said, "In that case, there is no problem. I am also very interested in this treasure, but if we find it, will I have a share?"
"Of course!" Hearing Xiao Chen's question, Tagan Shanxiong quickly nodded and said, "Everyone who sees it has a share. In addition to the spirit stones that we promised you, we can divide this Extraterrestrial Ink Meteorite equally. However, if there are other things, we will have to subtract the value of the spirit stones and then divide it with you."
"Alright!" This distribution was very fair, so Xiao Chen naturally did not disagree. If he were to look for it himself, he might not even be able to find the Extraterrestrial Ink Meteorite. He would get lost the moment he entered.
"Alright, now I will start breaking the formation!" Tagan Shanxiong said.
"Alright, what should I do?" Xiao Chen asked.
"There is an eye of the formation here. When we attack the formation, the formation will release a backlash force. At this time, Young Hero Xiao only needs to sit cross-legged on the eye of the formation and use all your strength to resist the backlash attack of the formation," Tagan Shanxiong explained.
"That's good." Sit on the eye of the formation? Xiao Chen felt that it was a little strange, but he still nodded. He knew nothing about what these people wanted to do. For the sake of the Extraterrestrial Ink Meteorite, he could only take a risk.
In any case, it did not matter if he did not understand the formation. There was still the Elder Heaven Ancestor who did. If there were any problems, the Elder Heaven Ancestor would also remind him, so that he would not be at a loss.
"Baldy, you stand here. Xue Qian, you stand here …" Tagan Shanxiong made arrangements and gestured for his four teammates to stand in suitable positions. Finally, he said to Xiao Chen, "Young Hero Xiao, you stand here. That is the eye of the formation!"
Xiao Chen nodded and walked over. However, when he passed by Xue Qian, he heard her whisper, "Be careful."
Huh? Xiao Chen found it a little strange. Why did Xue Qian remind him to be careful? What did she mean? Along the way, he could tell that Xue Qian was a very cold woman. She almost never spoke, nor did she say anything. She just walked with everyone.
Now that she had suddenly reminded him to be careful, Xiao Chen found it indescribably strange! If he had been a teammate that she had known in the past, there would have been no harm in reminding him. However, Xiao Chen did not know her, yet she had said such a thing …
Furthermore, even if they were teammates, Xue Qian still behaved very coldly and did not speak much along the way.
However, although Xiao Chen was puzzled, he still walked to the eye of the formation without batting an eyelid. He was secretly vigilant.
"Wait a moment. When I say start, everyone will go all out and use your strongest skills to attack in front of you. Don't hold back. Go all out. Do you understand?" Tagan Shanxiong said loudly.
"Understood!" Everyone nodded.
"Alright, get ready … start!" After saying that, Tagan Shanxiong took the lead.
A series of banging sounds could be heard. Everyone took out their ultimate skills and attacked the formation in front of them! Although they seemed to be hitting the air, there was actually an invisible barrier in front of them. This was the formation.
Xiao Chen had experience in this aspect. Back in the mountains behind the Immortal Resort, he, Clayden, and the others had used a similar method to break the formation of an ancient ruin.
However, just as Xiao Chen wanted to ask the Elder Heaven Ancestor if there was any other way to break the formation, he felt a powerful force similar to an electric current surging toward him!
Xiao Chen's body quivered and he subconsciously began to circulate the mantra to defend himself. However, as everyone attacked, the force seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. It continuously attacked Xiao Chen, causing him to be overwhelmed.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was sweating profusely. He subconsciously wanted to leave the eye of the formation because the force was too strong. Xiao Chen knew that if he did not leave, it was very likely that he would suffer internal injuries!
As for killing him, that was also a possibility! However, the next moment, Xiao Chen knew that leaving the eye of the formation was an extravagant hope. Because under the restraint of this force, Xiao Chen's body seemed to have been electrocuted. He could not even move.
There was indeed a problem! Xiao Chen was secretly shocked. This Tagan Shanxiong did not have any good intentions. He seemed to be very frank and straightforward, but anyone who resisted the backlash of the eye of the formation would be courting death!
And Xiao Chen finally understood what Xue Qian meant by "be careful". He really had to be careful! However, why did Xue Qian remind him?
"Elder Heaven Ancestor, what should I do? I think I'm going to die!" Xiao Chen turned pale with fright.
"Why do I have such a dumb disciple like you?" Elder Heaven Ancestor was a little speechless. "What's the point of your Heaven's Stolen Fortune battle art? You can't resist it, but you can still heal yourself. With the intensity of the attack, it's enough for you to endure it and continuously heal yourself. "
"That works?" Xiao Chen was stunned.
"If I can't die?" Elder Heaven Ancestor snorted.
Xiao Chen came to a realization. No wonder Elder Sky did not warn him earlier. It turned out that Elder Sky had the confidence to break it. Xiao Chen hurriedly circulated his mental cultivation method and gave up on resisting. Instead, he focused on treating his injuries.
Anyway, he wouldn't die from his injuries for a while. He could endure it here and there, so he could be busy.
Thus, Xiao Chen continued to suffer the backlash, get injured, heal … suffer the backlash again, get injured again, heal again, and so on …
Xiao Chen struggled with great difficulty as he suffered the backlash and injuries again and again.
At the beginning, Xiao Chen was a little overwhelmed, but very quickly, Xiao Chen liked this feeling. This was because Xiao Chen discovered that his strength was growing bit by bit as he continuously healed himself!
Although it was very slow, he could still sense it.
The Foundation Establishment stage was different from the Qi Refinement stage. Every little bit of improvement was very difficult. Back in the Dao Enlightenment Sand Valley, the pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi only allowed him to improve a little. Even now, he still hadn't reached the peak of the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage.
