Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 28: Buddha's Golden Body

"Boss, it's impossible to draw water. Not to mention that we don't have the ability, even if we could do it, who knows when it will happen? We can't wait that long."

"The worst option is also not feasible. That woman tried it before and many people died. It's too dangerous."

"The middle option sounds reliable. If she is willing to take the lead, we can stay outside and break the formation. Let's choose the middle option."

After analyzing the situation, the Liu brothers gave a reasonable response.

"That makes a lot of sense."

Zhu Bo rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "Listening to your words is like listening to nothing."

He had thought that with more people and more intelligence, the two brothers would give constructive suggestions, but they ended up saying nothing.

He also knew that the middle option was the best, but would She Xuan be willing to put herself in danger and leave them outside to break the formation?

How is that possible?

Even a fool knows that the danger inside the formation is unpredictable. If they enter, it's like an old man making his own coffin. Their lives won't last long.

"Commander Zhu, have you discussed it?"

"We have discussed it."

Zhu Bo said impatiently, "Choose the middle option. You guys go in and die, and we'll stay outside to break the formation. We'll split the rewards in half."

"In that case, our lives will be in Commander Zhu's hands," She Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Sister She, are you serious?!"

"Naturally."

"Wait... let me think about it."

Zhu Bo was stunned by her words. His sarcastic remarks were meant to mock She Xuan, but he never expected her to actually agree.

Now he was caught in a dilemma.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. He understood this principle, and She Xuan was no exception. If she agreed so readily, she must have something to rely on.

If he hesitated and caused this trip to the underground palace to be in vain, he would lose face and substance. That would be unacceptable.

But if he went in himself...

What if She Xuan intentionally deceived him by pretending to retreat and then changed her mind? That would mean falling into her trap!

That wouldn't be right. He couldn't do something that would benefit others at his own expense.

Going in together?

Even more inappropriate!

"Commander Zhu, have you thought it through?"

She Xuan teased. The more calm and composed she was, the more Zhu Bo didn't know how to choose.

"Boss."

At this moment, Liu Xiong secretly tugged at Zhu Bo's sleeve and gave him a signal with his eyes.

Big brother, this woman is unfathomable. We'll help you!

With a glance, Zhu Bo understood and came up with an idea in his mind. "She Xuan, let's agree to cooperate on this trip. You can't be the only one taking risks. I also need to contribute."

"Commander Zhu wants to enter the formation with me?"

"I want to, but I have to stay outside to break the formation."

Zhu Bo shook his head in distress and pointed to Liu Xiong and Liu Meng. "These two brothers of mine will go into the formation with you. You should also leave two people behind."

"Commander Zhu is indeed cautious."

She Xuan seemed to smile but not smile, raising her hand to point at two people in the team: "Fei Long, Pang Hu, you two stay behind and watch over Commander Zhu. Be careful, if he's even a bit slow, I'll be done for."

In the team, two tall and thin individuals stepped forward, with long arms and legs, and ordinary-looking faces.

Truly ordinary-looking faces.

The two teams exchanged members, and She Xuan took a deep breath. With a burly man leading the way, they stepped into the mist one by one. The Liu brothers didn't dare to stay for long and disappeared into the mist under the watchful gaze of Commander Zhu.

Once the group of people disappeared, Zhu Bo waved his hand and took out a wolf tooth pen, observing the ever-changing mist while calculating the eight directions on the ground.

The mist transformed without a trace, and amidst layers of murderous intent, there was no escape route to be found. In just a few breaths, Zhu Bo's cultivation was rapidly depleted, and he stopped, sweating profusely.

"What a strange Demon Cultivator. I have studied the mysteries of formations for many years, not daring to claim mastery of all formations in the world, but I am already proficient in the principles of formations. I have never seen such an unreasonable formation. This... this is illogical."

Zhu Bo's heart trembled, "Is it that the level of formations from a thousand years ago far surpasses today's, or is it that my knowledge is shallow and I can't recognize this peculiar formation?"

Saying this, he couldn't accept it and focused all his attention on deducing how to break the formation.

On both sides, Luo Ban widened his eyes, raised his hand to hold the hilt of his knife, and took a step forward to stand in front of Zhu Bo.

Lu Bei's hair stood on end, pulling out his Dark Gold Straight Knife to protect himself. Even so, he still felt several icy gazes on him, chilling him to the bone. With one foot stepping into the gates of hell, his life was in danger at any moment.

He cautiously stepped back and stood back-to-back with Luo Ban, quickly scanning the surroundings with his eyes, but he didn't see anything.

"Front, back, left, right?"

"None, I'm sure."

"Me too. I'll take care of above, you watch out below."

"Alright."

The two quickly communicated, feeling a strong sense of crisis. Luo Ban raised his hand and grabbed Zhu Bo's collar, lifting him up from the ground.

Their actions were seen by Fei Long and Pang Hu, who subconsciously thought their allies had betrayed them. They drew their weapons and angrily approached.

Just at that moment, the void trembled incessantly, and invisible blades attacked from behind, piercing through Fei Long's chest and splattering a large amount of blood.

Blood splattered on his face, and Pang Hu's face turned pale with fear. He ran towards Luo Ban, but was held back by an invisible force from the void and flew up into the sky with a swoosh.

Passing through walls.

An illusionary formation!

Lu Bei and Luo Ban took a cold breath, thinking they were safe outside the formation, but they didn't expect that they had long been inside the formation without realizing it.

The two quickly retreated and plunged into the mist.

In an instant, the scenery in front changed dramatically. The stone passage disappeared, replaced by a huge underground cave hundreds of meters wide. Above their heads, a giant beast woke up from its slumber, revealing its fangs and enjoying its meal.

It was an upside-down giant spider, dozens of zhang in size, with glowing eyes on its black back and a striking golden human face.

Different from the spiders Lu Bei knew, this giant spider didn't drink soup when eating meat. Its mouthparts made up a significant proportion of its head, and at the moment, it was chewing on a half-corpse with a crisp sound.

The sound of chewing made one's scalp tingle, and it was unclear whether it was Fei Long or Pang Hu.

While eating, the giant spider slowly crawled towards Lu Bei and the others.

Luo Ban reached out his hand, and four sharp flying knives shot out with a cold gleam, clashing against the giant spider. The resulting explosion sent sparks flying, but there was not a single injury on the spider. Instead, the surrounding hanging stone spikes were affected by the explosion, shaking the entire cave.

"That's the Buddha-faced Golden Body... Spider?!"

Zhu Bo, who had been in a daze, came to his senses and exclaimed in disbelief.

Luo Ban's body trembled, as if he had heard of the notorious name of this spider. He tightly grabbed Zhu Bo's collar and without saying a word, turned around and ran.

At the same time, Lu Bei had already run fifty meters away.

[Side Quest: Eliminate the Buddha-faced Golden Body Spider, rewards based on contribution]

The anticipated side quest had arrived, but Lu Bei was not happy at all. After witnessing an explosive special effect and hearing the loud name of the spider, he knew that this place was not suitable for a long stay.

When in doubt, retreat. Lu Bei didn't want to end up like Fei Long and Pang Hu three days later.
