Lou Xiaoyi's reaction was the fastest among all the cultivators, because he was always waiting for some kind of sudden change. His reaction was not to quickly cut away and escape, but to quickly establish a dimensional space mark in the quicksand formation at the moment the passage formed and then collapsed.
As an immortal formation, the quicksand formation naturally could not allow cultivators to teleport out through space. This was basic knowledge. Any powerful formation must have a space restriction, otherwise, it would be meaningless to set up the formation.
The quicksand immortal formation was even more so. It allowed energy to flow inside and outside the formation, but it did not allow material objects to pass through. At the half-immortal level, cultivators could not abandon their physical bodies and completely turn into a body of energy, unless they disintegrated their soul and lost their physical body forever. In that case, becoming an immortal would be an eternal dream, with no possibility of realizing it.
After Lou Xiaoyi completed this seemingly meaningless act in an instant, he was involuntarily sucked into the sandstorm. Even with his powerful strength, he could not resist the power of the divine sand of the immortal river.
The sandstorm formed by the divine sand did not stop once it started. It made people wonder if this was the true hellish form of the quicksand formation.
No one knew. Everyone could only see a very limited area around them. Moreover, the area around them was filled with quicksand, like a deep pool. This was not only a problem of pressure, but also a problem of difficulty in using spells and Dao Realm. In this place, the body was the most useful!
Lou Xiaoyi's first reaction was that this was beneficial to the Insect Queen.
He finally understood where Zerg's Red Tide, the life force, came from! It came from the life force of human cultivators! Simply put, if a cultivator died here, the power of the Dao Realm Phenomenon would be absorbed by the sand eggs here, which would then create the Red Tide and upgrade Zerg's ability.
Zerg had been turning demon beasts into sand like this for nearly a thousand years. This was not a series of actions, and it was different from what they imagined. In fact, the previous dozen or so stars were dead eggs, and there was no possibility of them becoming the origin of the Red Tide. Zerg's real goal was only one, the last star, the star where the Insect Queen was, was the origin of the Red Tide.
They received the news at this time, so it was the melon star. If they knew about it a hundred years earlier, it might be the previous star. If they knew about it a few decades later, it might be another star!
It was not important which star it was, the important thing was which star could attract the attention of a large number of human half-immortals? Then, they would gather as many human half-immortals as possible, and use the divine sand as bait, and finally provide precious life force to the sand eggs.
They guessed that the Red Tide would take some time to activate, but this was wrong. In fact, the Red Tide could have been activated long ago. It was just that the humans could provide Zerg with enough life force to fertilize it.
And they were the accomplices of the evildoer, helping the evildoer do evil! Even if the four of them did not think this way, the actual effect was undeniable. Among them, Lou Xiaoyi had united the foreign cultivators into a force, and everyone worked together in the quicksand formation.
The whole plan was very precise, and it was hard to imagine that Zerg could come up with such a series of plans. Not only did he consider the ability of the formation to operate, he also understood the psychological activities of the human half-immortals very well!
This included the greed for the divine sand, and the judgment that Lou Xiaoyi would have reached with or without him, or they would have worked together to open the passage to save people, or they would have torn down the quicksand formation together. No matter what method they used, they were destined to fail, and they would be trapped in the formation and devoured by the divine sand of the immortal river!
That was the general idea, and the rest were the details, so there was no need to worry about it. The only question he had to figure out now was, why did the Insect Queen think that the humans would kill each other in the formation? Or, did she place her hope on the hidden insects?
There was a principle that would never change, and that was if there were insects that wanted to control the quicksand formation to kill people, there would definitely be a loophole in its defense. This was a choice that could not satisfy both sides. Therefore, the best way was to find some opponents for them. Who would they be?
In just a moment, he had a preliminary judgment of the whole matter in his mind. He was very clear that among all the people in the formation, other than Qing Xuan and a few others who would probably have a similar judgment as him, everyone else would have hallucinations due to the wrong information, dangerous hallucinations, and they would kill any creature that appeared in front of them in order to save their lives!
It was simply impossible to hope that everyone would be rational and calm, and that no one would make a move!
It was also at this moment that the true form of the quicksand formation took shape. It was a huge funnel-shaped quicksand whirlpool, and the cultivators could not help but be pushed around by the quicksand. They might be able to control their own bodies to a certain extent, but they could not go against the overall trend. They could not fix their own bodies in a certain position, and other than going with the flow, there was no better way. It was conceivable that during this process, there would definitely be some collisions, and it might be the beginning of a battle.
Lou Xiaoyi could not fix his own position, but at least he knew whether he should go up or down. It was like an ice cream cone, if it spun, the only place that could fix his own position was the bottom of the cone!
This was the only way he could solve the problem. It was impossible to rely on fighting and killing to solve the problem, because it was impossible to meet everyone, distinguish between friend and foe, and kill every insect! This was a matter of probability, and it was even more impossible if the Insect Queen was controlling it!
It was precisely because his fighting strength was too strong that he could become the Insect Queen's biggest accomplice, and provide precious cultivation life force for the sand eggs' revival!
There were many records of human history, but the most important thing was that no one had recorded it down. If they had known that the formation of the red light relied on this kind of energy, with their character, they would not have even approached the melon star. In any case, there were no traces of life on it, so they could just crash into it and see how the Insect Queen would deal with it!
This was all in hindsight, and it was meaningless to talk about it now.
Lou Xiaoyi sank bit by bit in the rotation. This process was very slow, but it was something he had to do. It was also at this moment that a familiar energy fluctuation spread out from the crazily rotating quicksand formation with the help of the rotating force. He was very clear that this was the movement of the human Half Immortal. So fast?
The worst situation had already happened, but he did not know how many human half immortals would have to die to gather enough life force to activate the entire melon star's eggs.
He had to speed up!
According to the laws of physics, if you were in a constantly rotating whirlpool, it was actually much easier to go up than down. He was going in the opposite direction now, and the amount of elemental energy he consumed was exceptionally large!
He basically did not need to use the Dao Realm, as the Divine Sand absorbed everything!
