Chapter 5644: Illusion 3
Indeed, after her son's exclamation, she also realized something. When she first used the sacred wood to hold He Weiping, she was also pulled forward by the suction force at the bottom of the pit. If Mo Lian hadn't timely grabbed her waist, she probably would have uncontrollably fallen into the bottomless pit with that pulling force. He Weiping was then wrapped by the yellow vine, and only then did the resistance gradually cease.
They were able to pull He Weiping out of the pit not entirely because of their combined efforts, but because of this yellow vine.
Qiao Mu lowered her head and looked at the yellow vine in her hand. She suddenly kicked a stone, sending it flying. The stone whizzed down towards the bottom of the pit, and the yellow vine in Qiao Mu's hand shot out, swiftly wrapping around the stone. With a slight flick of her wrist, she pulled it back up.
"It seems the second barrier is located down here," Qiao Mu hummed softly. That old ghost, the Heavenly Dao, sometimes made them climb mountains, sometimes made them descend into caves. Who knew if there were more challenges like mountains of knives and seas of fire waiting for this unlucky bunch later?
Bringing out her Martial Aunt to "chat about life" with the old man now didn't seem like such a bad idea. After all, the Heavenly Dao had really messed with her several times along the way; it wouldn't be right not to settle the score.
Qiao Mu hummed, then lightly bounced in place. "Everyone, take out all the yellow vines you collected before."
Qiao Mu took out a large bundle of vines from her storage talisman, straightened them, connected them with sacred wood, and wove them one by one into a rope. Everyone followed suit, helping to sort and weave the vines at lightning speed. Soon, the entire large bundle of yellow vines was woven.
"This place probably only allows us to descend by rope," Qiao Mu said with a serious expression. "I'm afraid this bottomless pit has various flying abilities blocked." Perhaps even flying talismans couldn't be used. Given the Heavenly Dao's usual tendencies, this was highly probable.
Qiao Mu was too lazy to argue with the Heavenly Dao. Since they found a way to go down, they'd honestly climb down the rope to avoid being pulled down halfway through flying and ending up paralyzed, which would be very bad.
"Will this thing work?" Feng Changqing asked weakly. "Will it be long enough?"
Yes, this bottomless pit looked truly bottomless, making them feel uneasy. Everyone looked at each other, then glanced at Madam Mo, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"Don't worry. I won't trick you," Madam Mo told them. But inexplicably, everyone felt a twitch in their hearts; hearing those words didn't exactly make them feel reassured. Madam Mo tricking people wasn't a one-time or two-time occurrence. This little madam was someone who could even trick the Heavenly Dao, let alone them. They were not reassured, not reassured at all!
"You'll have to go down whether you're reassured or not," Madam Mo said expressionlessly. "Are you not going down? Then stay here. Don't say I didn't warn you. Although the first barrier of this Nine Palace Illusion Formation was opened by us once, you also know that it has closed now."
"Before, it took us a lot of effort to open it together. If you're left alone, the consequences are self-evident."
Everyone couldn't help but shiver. If they were left alone, would they have to fight that barrier by themselves? Damn it, what a pain in the ass. Everyone quickly sped up their movements, swiftly inspecting the rope woven from the yellow vine.
