Chapter 5639: Working Together 2
"May I ask, Madam Mo, how exactly do you want us to work together?"
"Once the Nine Palace Illusion Array activates, nine array eyes appear, each creating a different barrier," Madam Qiaoqiao said kindly. "And each time we destroy an array eye, a barrier will appear," Qiaomu pointed forward. "Thus, you all need to work together to smash it."
"Go! Everyone, work together and pound it."
"Only by breaking through this barrier can we enter the next array eye."
Everyone showed an enlightened expression and quickly nodded. "Alright! Let's go together."
A group of Saint Domain men collectively rushed forward, slamming against the barrier with loud thuds.
A moment later, the big-bellied man glanced around and couldn't help but twitch his lips. He saw Madam Mo and her friends standing to the side, not coming forward to help, but rather watching from a distance as they vigorously smashed the barrier.
The man, panting, asked, "M-Madam Mo, why, why aren't you, aren't you joining us?"
Madam Qiaoqiao expressionlessly shook her head. "I need to re-evaluate. All of you, it's been nearly ten minutes, and you haven't even made a crack in the barrier."
"I suspect you simply can't do it."
Mo Lian, Duan Yue, and their group: ...
The group of men smashing the barrier all flushed red at her words.
"If you can't break through this barrier within the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, the array eye will likely repair itself."
"What does that mean?" Everyone was stunned and quickly asked.
"It means the Sacred Beast we just dealt with? It might revive."
The Eastern Dominator: !!
"Holy cow, you can play like that too?"
The big-bellied middle-aged man and his group stopped bothering with Qiaomu, quickly turned around, and put all their strength into a furious "bang, bang, bang, bang" of smashing.
"It's open, it's open! It's open!" one person shouted excitedly.
Just then, Madam Mo's frustrating voice rang in their ears, "Everyone, stand clear! Get down!"
"Boom!" A Saint Force Orb was sent flying by her towards the barrier, directly blasting the opening, which they had torn, to half a person's height.
Mo Lian, holding his little wife's hand, flashed through first, bending down and drilling out of the hole.
Little Mo Bao, hugging Duan Yue's thigh, squeaked in a milky voice, "Godfather, godfather!"
Duan Yue picked him up and, holding the little one, flashed out of the hole as well.
God Venerable Taohua and his group streamed out, only to be hit by a violent gust of wind and sand, involuntarily raising their sleeves to shield their faces.
The big-bellied middle-aged man and his group had promptly prostrated themselves on the ground the moment the Saint Force Orb exploded. Now, they all looked up, covered in dust and grime, and couldn't help but brush off their clothes.
Qiaomu spoke coldly, "If you don't come out soon, this barrier will close again."
Everyone looked closely and, sure enough, the hole that was originally half a person high had now shrunk to two-thirds its size.
A group of people scrambled out, tumbling and crawling, unprepared for the mouthful of dust they swallowed. Looking up, they saw a vast, dusty sky, shrouded in yellow sand, making it impossible to see the path ahead.
The Saint Domain people were almost in tears.
What was going on?
Some who had been to the Divine Palace before couldn't help but murmur to themselves. They had been to this adventurous sacred place before! Why did it feel so much harder than all previous trials?
"Cough, cough, cough," the big-bellied man half-lay on the ground, coughing repeatedly. "M-Madam Mo."
