Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

Zhao Rui was surprised and puzzled when he suddenly heard Luo Kai say, "I seem to have heard that the owner of this large mine was the Cao family."

"Is that so? Judging from the situation, the Chen family doesn't know about this place." Xiong Ditai stepped forward and asked.

Mei Yulan said: "When the Chen family took over this large mine, evil spirits had already seeped out from the ground. They didn't really want to mine, so they naturally didn't explore it thoroughly. Anyway, as long as the formation is set up, no one can escape."

Xiong Ditai nodded repeatedly and asked, "How do you know so clearly? I haven't heard anything about it."

Mei Yulan's face froze, and she asked hurriedly, "Do you have a brain? You've already guessed it, do you still need to inquire?"

"Brother Mei's guess is very logical. I think it is probably true. It can't be far off." Luo Kai said.

Zhao Rui looked at the few people as if he were looking at monkeys and almost laughed out loud. He guessed that Mei Yulan already knew the situation and it was very likely that she had let it slip just now.

He coughed and said, "Let's hurry up and follow him. Mr. Yao has already gone in. Don't let the door close in a moment."

The three men's faces tensed and they quickly rushed towards the small door under the iron fence.

Soon, everyone in the group went in and the small door slammed shut.

After passing through the small door, it was pitch black inside. Yao Yi summoned a fireball and continued to lead the way.

After about a quarter of an hour's journey, the front suddenly opened up and revealed a large cave that could accommodate thousands of people.

Under the light of the fire, the big hole was full of traces of digging, and pickaxes, bier and other tools were piled up in a mess, most of which had already decayed.

About a hundred steps away from the men, five two-person-high columns stood tall, completely different from the chaotic situation around them.

"Teleportation array!" Zhao Rui recognized it at the first glance, but remained calm.

At the same time, Yao Yi shouted, "That's the teleportation array, let's go!"

He strode forward, a smile on his face.

Zhao Rui was not in a hurry. He waited for a moment, looked at Qian Xiaoyi, and then followed the others.

When getting closer, the full picture of the teleportation array was revealed. It was about three meters wide, with five cylinders evenly distributed, forming a mysterious formation.

Yao Yi was the first to arrive. He stroked the ground with his hand and said with a smile, "The formation was not destroyed. We are so lucky!"

Luo Kai arrived second, his face full of excitement, and asked, "Mr. Yao, what should we do next?"

Yao Yi took out a cloth bag from his chest and said, "This formation has been abandoned for a long time, we must recharge it first!"

He opened the cloth bag and waved his hand. Dozens of spirit stones flew out immediately, divided into four piles, and headed straight for Zhao Rui and his companions.

Zhao Rui was familiar with Mei Yulan's jade slips and already knew what to do, but he pretended not to know and asked, "Master, how do I charge my energy?"

Yao Yi carried the cloth bag, walked to a pillar and said, "This teleportation array requires the power of the five elements. If it is running all the time, it won't be so troublesome. You just need to provide spirit stones."

"But now, we need to continuously inject mana into it to make it work."

As he spoke, he searched around the pillar and finally stopped in front of a long snake relief.

The long snake had six legs and four wings, and on its top claw it was holding an ochre-colored ball, which contained an irregular rock.

Yao Yi placed his hand on the sphere and continued, "Each pillar here corresponds to one of the five elements. All you have to do is find spheres with different attributes and inject your mana into them. Remember, if you run out of mana, use a mid-grade spirit stone to recover it. We don't have much time."

After listening to Yao Yi's explanation, several people immediately rushed towards different cylinders, looking for balls with different properties.

"Don't look around. This formation follows the theory of the five elements. My upper hand is fire and my lower hand is gold." Yao Yi said.

Several people looked embarrassed and immediately walked towards the corresponding pillars according to the five elements.

Zhao Rui walked around the cylinder and soon found a crystal red ball with a flame dancing inside it, which looked lifelike.

He stretched out his right hand, pressed on the ball, and immediately felt a light suction.

"I don't know how many years this formation has been abandoned. In a few more years, I'm afraid it will be completely scrapped." Zhao Rui thought, releasing the magic power in his body and injecting it into the sphere.

Half an hour later, Zhao Rui's fire attribute magic power was more than half consumed. He took out a medium-grade spirit stone and continued to inject it while recovering.

As for the others, except Yao Yi, they had already held the spirit stones in their hands.

The injection of energy lasted for a day and a night, but the teleportation array seemed like a bottomless pit, with no response at all.

After another half day, Yao Yi was the first to step forward and said, "I've finished my work, the rest is up to you."

Luo Kai opened his eyes, his face full of fatigue, and said: "I'm just halfway through here, I'm afraid it will take the same amount of time to complete."

"Me too!" the rest of the people echoed.

Yao Yi's face tensed, and he said, "This is our only chance. If we don't seize the opportunity, we will all go back to jail."

Several people were silent, closed their eyes, and concentrated on injecting magic power into the formation.

Time flies, and another day and night has passed in the blink of an eye.

In front of the formation, Yao Yi kept walking with his hands behind his back, urging, "Hurry up, Chen Wenhe might have already gone down to the mine by now."

After he said that, he immediately walked towards Luo Kai's pillar, checked it out, and then walked towards the next pillar.

Half a day later, Yao Yi had already circled several pillars countless times, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Everyone, if we don't finish it now, the Chen family will probably come. Once they know this place, we won't have a second chance."

At this time, Luo Kai's face was flushed, and there was a layer of golden sand on his arms, which dripped down from time to time, making a ding-dong sound.

Xiong Ditai's face was covered with wrinkles, like a hundred-year-old dead tree, and grass was growing in the cracks around him.

Mei Yulan was sweating profusely, and her whole body looked as if she had just been pulled out of the water. There was a faint mist floating around her, which made her appear and disappear, causing endless reverie.

The three of them had already pushed their skills to the limit, and even though Yao Yi kept urging them, they were unable to increase their speed any further.

Among the four, the most relaxed one was naturally Zhao Rui. He seemed to have a flushed face and was breathing heavily, but he was actually very relaxed. He injected his mana slowly at a speed that was twice the speed of his mana.

After a while, Luo Kai shouted, retracted his arm and said, "It's done. The gold cylinders have been fully injected."

Yao Yi was overjoyed and hurried over, saying, "Okay, very good, I knew you would be fine."

As he spoke, he stretched out a hand and patted Luo Kai's shoulder.

Zhao Rui frowned, squinted at the faint mist on the opposite side, and muttered in his heart: "If no one comes, this formation will be completed."

According to his and Qian Xiaoyi's plan, they wanted to charge the formation to 90% and then activate it unexpectedly while the two groups were fighting.

But now the formation is almost fully charged, but the reinforcements that Mei Yulan mentioned have not arrived.

Zhao Rui deliberately slowed down the injection speed and looked around intently.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, what should we do..." Qian Xiaoyi walked behind Zhao Rui and said in a voice transmission.

"Don't send any message, just wait and see what happens." Zhao Rui replied without changing his expression.

Qian Xiaoyi shrank his neck, pretended nothing happened, and continued to wander around.

After another half an hour, Xiong Ditai stepped back and sat directly on the ground.

"Okay, finally done." He panted, hurriedly embraced the Yuan Merge and began to recover his magic power.

Yao Yi rushed over immediately with a smile on his face, but soon frowned and asked loudly:

"Friend Mei, Friend Zhao, what's your situation? The five pillars are the same."

Zhao Rui's face turned even redder and he didn't answer.

Yao Yi turned and walked towards the white fog. When he was about five steps away, his expression suddenly changed drastically and he slapped out with his palm.

Wherever the palm wind reached, the fog dissipated immediately, but there was no one inside.

Zhao Rui's face changed drastically. He quickly loosened his hand, pulled Qian Xiaoyi up and ran away.

Yao Yi sneered, took out a talisman and stuck it on the anklet.

"Hurry up and follow the order, seal!" As the seal fell to the ground, Yao Yi's shackles were immediately loosened.

He stretched his muscles, made a hand gesture, and disappeared on the spot.

Zhao Rui was running at high speed when a man suddenly appeared in front of him and asked, "My good disciple, where are you going?"
