The "fishing net" spread out by the Sea Race warriors opened very quickly.
Because they were also in a hurry.
The other Sea Race warriors who did not come to the border river to set up defenses, but instead started to search with Dingwei Island as the starting point, moved even faster. However, Jiang Wang escaped here and did not know.
Dingwei's area was very large. They locked onto the area between Dingwei Island and the border river, narrowing the area greatly, but it was still difficult.
In Dingwei's area, there was often no straight line between two points that were slightly further away. Because the directions were chaotic, they twisted and turned.
Jiang Wang was able to smoothly find the place by relying on the directions.
At this moment of silent waiting, his heart was burning with anxiety. The Sea Race army surrounded the island and attacked fiercely. He did not know how long Dingwei Island could last.
If Dingwei Island was destroyed today because he did not succeed in asking for help, he would have to bear this responsibility for the rest of his life.
After waiting for a full fifteen minutes, Jiang Wang, who was continuously retreating, finally stopped his movements — — the "net" had expanded to a size large enough for him to pass through.
His motionless position was calculated after careful analysis and observation through the Red Makeup Mirror. It just happened to be in the "net" that the Sea Race team was searching for.
As long as he stayed still, the Sea Race team would naturally pass by him.
He wore a stealth cloak and stopped in midair, as if he had become a part of the bewildering world.
The net was getting closer and closer. If he wanted, he could even see with his naked eye what the Sea Race looked like.
Of course, he remembered his lesson and only observed with the Red Makeup Mirror. Also, the Red Makeup Mirror's field of vision was wider and more specific than his naked eye.
The main mission of these Sea Race battle squads was to search. At this moment, their formation was loose, and the distance between them was very large.
He was in the middle of two battle squads. Once he was exposed, he would immediately be surrounded by twenty Sea Race warriors. And this "net" would quickly tighten. The scattered Sea Race would quickly gather, and he would have no chance of escaping.
The current Jiang Wang would not panic at this level of danger.
He silently watched all of this, and even calmly judged the strength of each Sea Race from some small details of the search process. He constantly rehearsed in his mind. Once something unexpected happened, they would be able to react quickly.
Who to kill first, what method to use to save the most Dao Energy, how to kill the fastest … These were questions that he would constantly ponder in his mind.
A regrettable accident still happened.
One of them was a fat general-level Sea Creature. It was unknown whether it was due to carelessness or something else, but the horse-like sea beast he was riding suddenly snorted and moved a few steps in another direction.
Before this, his position in the team had been very stable. Because of the sea beast mount's reaction, it had deviated.
This team was well-trained, and the other members of the Sea Race quickly adjusted their positions according to his position. This allowed the original formation to be maintained.
Perhaps this was just a small accident for the Seafolk team. It was quite normal and definitely not rare.
But for Jiang Wang, it caused a huge disaster — the position of the "mesh" had changed!
If he didn't move, he would enter the detection zone of this marine species team. If he moved, his Invisibility Cloak would be temporarily disabled.
Because of such a small accident, regardless of whether he advanced or retreated, he had to face the consequences of being discovered.
He relied on the Red Makeup Mirror and Invisibility Cloak to chase after the only possibility of breaking through.
But the net that Yu Siqing had set up was dense and complicated. It was precisely this kind of constant change that made the possibility of this large net overlooking the prey infinitely lower — at least until the "mesh" was too big to be made up for.
Jiang Wang couldn't help but think about a question. In this marine species team, what kind of choice would each member of the Sea Race make? If he could determine their choice, then the second question was, if they firmly carried out the military order and clearly knew what to do, would the misdirection be effective?
No matter what, he still had to try.
Through the Red Makeup Mirror, Jiang Wang constantly observed every approaching member of the Sea Race, trying to find the one who would be most easily affected. Then, he would use the Misdirection Divine Ability to cause this member of the Sea Race to deviate naturally and affect the entire team, causing the mesh to silently move again until he perfectly passed through.
This required very precise judgment.
He was also prepared to directly draw his sword and kill if the Misdirection Divine Ability failed.
The closer the other party was, the more carefully he observed.
What choices would this member of the Sea Race make? Would he choose which direction to move in?
Just as Jiang Wang was weighing the pros and cons, the Sea Race team suddenly turned and rapidly moved in another direction.
Through the Red Makeup Mirror, he could also see that the other Sea Race team within range had also turned around at almost the same time.
Just as he had predicted, when a certain point changed, the entire "net" moved!
The formation of the Sea Race team also changed. They directly tore apart the formation. The faster ones accelerated forward, while the slower ones chased behind. They also vaguely formed another line of defense to prevent the target from accidentally breaking through the "fishing net".
The Sea Race warriors that formed this large net began to move with astonishing agility.
Comparing the searching Sea Race warriors to the nodes of the "fishing net", when a certain area on the "fishing net" changed, the nodes would contract at the fastest speed, directly locking down the area that changed.
This was also the reason why Jiang Wang had made the judgment that he couldn't use an ambush to break through the situation.
But at this moment, the reason for this "net" to change was not him.
He was here, and he didn't have time to make any moves.
Now that all the human cultivators had fled back to the floating island, the person who touched a certain point of the "fishing net" could only be Chu Mi!
Chu Mi had been discovered by the Sea Race team?
It was good that Liang Shanglou's concealment technique was not as good as the Invisibility Cloak. He had encountered the same predicament, and it was also good that he couldn't avoid it. In any case, this sudden change created an opportunity for Jiang Wang.
At this moment, not only was he once again in the safe "fishing net", but this safe gap was also rapidly expanding.
He could have used this opportunity to break out of the encirclement.
But for some reason, at this moment, he still thought of Ding Jingshan's words: "In the bewildering world, we are all comrades."
It was too simple, too simple a sentence.
But it left a deep impression on him.
He even wondered if it was possible that Chu Mi had been discovered on purpose to create a commotion for him, to help him divert the Sea Race's attention.
Although this possibility was minuscule. That guy also seemed very untrustworthy.
But after all, Fu Yanqing had said that Chu Mi could be trusted in this matter.
Jiang Wang thought for a moment and finally made a decision. He shattered the green clouds with one foot and moved quickly, appearing right in front of a Warrior-level Sea Race member who had fallen behind because of the rapid change in the formation.
Before the other party could make a move, he beheaded him with his sword!
Then, he pinned down the other party's mount, a sea beast that looked like a tiger with scales, and occupied it with his Spirit Concealment Snake. Then, he placed a round pearl that reflected the changes of the mountains and rivers into its mouth.
It was the Clam King's Pearl!
With a thought, the sea beast dashed madly into the distance.
Under the effect of the Clam King's Pearl's illusory technique, it turned into Jiang Wang's appearance, stirring up the sea of fire as it sped away. In an instant, many Sea Race members were alerted.
Jiang Wang himself didn't even look back as he rushed directly to the Border River.
He had already taken a great risk by diverting the Sea Race's attention for Chu Mi. This was all he could do. After all, he had sacrificed a Clam King's Pearl!
"If this guy doesn't die later, I'll definitely make him pay it back. If he doesn't, I'll invite him to drink tea at the Inspection Office every day! I'll invite his master and disciples, as well as his good friends and fellow disciples, "he thought viciously as he sped away.
A Blue Medal Constable could always find a way to deal with a cultivator from a sect like Liang Shanglou.
Of course, the premise was that Chu Mi could survive because of this help.
