After Nian Shutong hung up Hua Yuan’s communication, she focused on breaking the array.
After three hours passed, Nian Shutong understood.
She was indeed at the center of the array, which required not only a blood sacrifice but also the support of crystal stones.
What needed to be done now was to collect all these crystal stones and use external force to destroy the array.
But there was a problem, that was, when she collected these crystal stones used for the array, the array was beneath the abyss.
Breaking the array required her to stay inside and destroy it from within; by then, the entire abyss would collapse, and she might not have the chance to escape.
"Master———"
Daodao, who had the most direct psychic bond with Nian Shutong, didn’t want her to do this.
In his view, no one was more important than the master.
"Daodao, rationally I tell myself that this self-sacrificial act is not sothing I should do, but my heart wants to save them, and I no longer want to wait."
Nian Shutong already stood up, surveying below the abyss.
"But don’t worry, I don’t have a death wish, otherwise I’d be at a loss."
"If I rescue Fu Yunhe and end up dead, and he gets seduced away by soone else, I’d be so frustrated."
"So, we need to save others but also protect ourselves."
Nian Shutong put away the array map and started moving below, seeking the best solution.
"Yangyang, ask how long the food over there can last?"
Yangyang, after receiving the question from Nian Shutong, imdiately asked Fu Yunhe, who was sitting on the ground.
Hearing Yangyang’s question, Fu Yunhe imdiately stood up and hurried towards Xiong Da without wasting a second.
After the two communicated, Fu Yunhe told Yangyang the answer, who then relayed it to Nian Shutong.
"Master, it can last for ten days to half a month."
"That long?"
"Yes, they aren’t full, just eting basic needs."
So that’s how it is, indeed, this is the most prudent approach.
"Master, Xiao He asks, will there be danger in rescuing them?"
Nian Shutong imdiately stopped Daodao from speaking and answered herself, "Yes, but it’s controllable."
She couldn’t answer that there was no danger; that would sound too fake.
After getting the answer, Yangyang told Fu Yunhe, and indeed, hearing this answer made him feel slightly relieved.
Nian Shutong has never lied.
On the other side, Nian Shutong stopped transmitting ssages because she had reached a deeper place. Down the large hole of the abyss was a sloping downward passage that Nian Shutong had been walking down for a good while, sinking at least a few hundred ters more.
She even felt a bit of heat underfoot, could there be sothing below?
Thinking of this, Nian Shutong felt that if there really was sothing, maybe an underground river, it might still be good news for her.
"Master, the crystal stones have arrived."
Nian Shutong kept it in her mind temporarily, looked up ahead, and saw crystal stones, all of them.
"The Insect Race really spared no expense."
In front of her was a cave about ten ters wide, ten ters long, a hundred square ters in total, and about three ters high. Except for the entrance where Nian Shutong stood, everything from the top to the ground, including all walls, was made of crystal stones.
Among them, there were several rows of red crystal stones, with red liquid flowing inside, arranged in a certain pattern, which was where the blood sacrifice array was located.
Nian Shutong walked into the cave, observing, and rehearsing in her mind. The crystal stones couldn’t be taken randomly; it had to be done in order.
But the current crystal stones indeed exceeded her expectations, she contacted Yangyang, saying, "Yangyang, tell Fu Yunhe to save so food, I’m breaking the array, but it will take a long ti."
"Understood, Master."
Yangyang’s relay made Fu Yunhe anxious, but he still inford Xiong Da first.
Xiong Da didn’t manage the food affairs; he must have been calculating carefully, but hearing that Nian Shutong was breaking the array, he saw hope.
"Rest assured, brother, I’ll manage it well."
Fu Yunhe nodded, with no intention to show off his wife, still sitting on the ground, looking at a white paper filled with lines, not knowing what he was pondering.
Later, Xiong Da also saw Fu Yunhe take out a red crystal stone and start cultivating with it.
Sothing seed off.
Xiong Da didn’t speak, but he felt that Fu Yunhe probably wouldn’t have the mind to cultivate now, but he did.
Indeed, Fu Yunhe was cultivating because he noticed that after he described the array map to Nian Shutong, it was already imprinted in his mind, seemingly evolving by itself.
However, he had a shortage of spiritual power, so he took out a red crystal stone to supply his spiritual power.
He wanted to know how Nian Shutong was breaking the array; he considered that if he were outside, and Nian Shutong inside, the likelihood was that she would co out by herself.
But just in case, he would give up everything to save her.
And what about Nian Shutong?
Although she appeared indifferent, anyone she kept in her heart, she took very seriously.
Fu Yunhe was afraid, afraid that Nian Shutong would do the sa thing.
At this mont, he suddenly understood why the two of them would quarrel. Nian Shutong had gotten angry when she saw him injured.
"Nian Shutong, don’t deceive ."
Fu Yunhe was not willing to waste ti, desperately absorbing the red crystal stone, the array map was evolving by itself in his mind, and Fu Yunhe only wanted to see the final result.
On the other side, Nian Shutong had already started digging out the crystal stones. This ti, she could only control it herself because each one had a sequence; there was no way to dismantle it on a large scale; she could only take it out one by one.
Although nurous, Nian Shutong didn’t bother with it too much, picking one at a ti.
Fu Yunhe was analyzing, Nian Shutong was breaking the array, Hua Yuan was creating montum outside.
One day, two days, three days, four days.
Nian Shutong had already removed the crystal stones on three walls, much faster than she had anticipated.
Fu Yunhe had deciphered half of it but hadn’t seen the result yet.
Hua Yuan was still creating montum, firmly believing without a doubt that both of them would co out safely.
The news of such magnitude naturally reached Blue Star.
Lin Mu brought Elder Hua, Lian Qing, Boss Long, and Rubble together for a discussion.
"Nian Shutong must have gone to rescue Fu Yunhe. I let Dou Dou ask the Crown Prince and learned which battlefield Fu Yunhe was on."
"And Ji Sisi also ntioned that Nian Shutong left Zone 1 a few days before the news broke, most likely heading to the Insect Clan Battlefield."
"I suspect they contacted each other before the incident, and now they are very likely together, or Nian Shutong is trying to rescue him."
Lin Mu’s idea received everyone’s support. She looked at the few people and asked, "The question now is, what are we going to do?"
Boss Long took out several spheres, placing them in the middle of the group and said, "Go find her, with the remaining Zodiac Beasts."
Lin Mu nodded, reaching to take a sphere, while another hand also reached out.
"Lian Qing, I’m going this ti."
"I know I am weak, but I can guide you. I’ve been to this battlefield."
Lian Qing simply smiled at Lin Mu, his tone serious.
"Don’t worry, I’ve truly been there, and I’m very familiar with it. I will be very useful and won’t hold us back."
"Alright."
