An extremely terrifying cruelty appeared on Lin Qiye's pale face.

The red eyes are even more chilling.

Even though he was seriously injured, he still vowed to fight to the death with this evil demon-refining cauldron!

Outside the imperial mausoleum, countless viewers were worried about Lin Qiye in front of the screen.

Seeing that he was about to die of exhaustion, many people could no longer bear to watch.

"It's over. If this continues, Lin Qiye will die!"

"Damn it, this demon refining cauldron is too weird! Is there no way to break it?!"

"Stop talking, I'm almost suffocating! This is not an adventure, it's clearly a nightmare!"

They couldn't imagine what would happen to the show without Lin Qiye, the show's soul.

More importantly, they did not want to see this high-spirited young man fall in his pursuit of the truth.

Especially Wu Jing's "heroic" scene, which broke the hearts of all the audience.

Just when Lin Qiye was about to run out of energy, a familiar figure rushed out from nowhere!
"Stop it! Qiye! Don't be impulsive!"

It was Cheng Long!

Cheng Long didn't know where he got the courage from, but he dared to stand in front of Lin Qiye at this moment, and even reached out to hold his bloody arm tightly.

"Get out of here! Don't stop me! I'm going to avenge Wu Jing today!"

Lin Qiye's eyes were red and he shouted at the top of his lungs.

He struggled hard, trying to shake off Cheng Long and continue to launch the final attack on the bronze tripod.

However, Cheng Long held him tightly and did not move.

"Calm down! Qiye! If you act rashly like this now, you will only die in vain! This is not what Wu Jing wants to see!"

As Cheng Long spoke, he exerted force, pulling Lin Qiye back.

When Lin Qiye heard this, his body trembled and a trace of confusion flashed across his face.

"Wu Jing, he saved me." He muttered to himself, his voice choked with sobs.

"I know! But think about it, why is he willing to sacrifice himself to save you? Isn't it because he believes that you have the ability to lead everyone out of danger?! If you die too, wouldn't his sacrifice be in vain?"

Cheng Long spoke earnestly, his eyes a little red.

Lin Qiye stared blankly at Cheng Long in front of him, the madness in his eyes gradually faded away, replaced by deep sadness and guilt.

"I can't just watch Wu Jing die. But...but what can I do? This demon-refining cauldron is so evil, I can't do anything about it!"

Lin Qiye's voice was hoarse and his face was full of despair.

This situation is heartbreaking.

This high-spirited tomb-robbing genius is, after all, just a fragile and helpless young man when faced with a truly desperate situation.

But at this moment, Cheng Long's eyes suddenly changed.

He held Lin Qiye's shoulders tightly.

"Qiye, as the captain, Wu Jing entrusted the hope of survival to you. As a teammate, I believe you can come up with a solution!"

"But...but I have no other choice." Lin Qiye smiled bitterly.

"No! I just observed it carefully and found that although this Demon Refining Cauldron is evil, it is not completely flawless!" Cheng Long suddenly lowered his voice.

“What do you mean?” Lin Qiye was stunned.

"Think about it carefully. Just now, you attacked without caring about your life and cut cracks on the wall of the tripod several times. Although they were all bounced back in the end, what does this mean?"

A gleam of light flashed in Cheng Long's eyes.

"Could it be..." Lin Qiye's eyes widened. "That's right! Although the defense of this demon refining cauldron is strong, it is not indestructible! Otherwise, how could a crack appear under your full-strength attack?"

Cheng Long said firmly.

"However, it is probably difficult to completely smash the Demon Refining Cauldron with brute force alone. The key is to find its weakness!"

"Weakness? But the walls of this tripod are the same on all four sides, with no obvious flaws." Lin Qiye was confused.

"Qiye, have you forgotten? No matter how carefully a formation is set up, there is always a source point. The key to everything lies at that source!"

Cheng Long's eyes became more and more bright: "Although this demon refining cauldron is strange, it is just a magic weapon after all. Since someone refined it, there must be a formation eye! If we can find the formation eye on the cauldron, maybe we can..."

"Cracked in one fell swoop!"

Lin Qiye's eyes lit up and he suddenly realized.

Why didn't he think of it? No matter how strange the bronze tripod was, it was just a refining tool after all.

Refining equipment requires attention to the principles of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the principles of generation, restraint and transformation.

The eye of the formation is like the heart of the entire formation and the core of the operation of the formation.

As long as we can find the eye of the formation and reverse the mutual restraint, we can dissolve all the evil nature of the Demon Refining Cauldron and make it collapse!

Thinking of this, Lin Qiye's eyes suddenly flashed with dazzling light.

He held the long sword tightly and said firmly: "Thank you, Brother Cheng, for your enlightenment! I was reckless just now. Now, let's work together to find the key to this demon refining cauldron!"

As he said this, he turned around and looked at the others: "Two girls, fellow warriors, this is a matter of life and death. Please work together! Help me hold out for a while."

Everyone looked confused and didn't understand what Lin Qiye and Cheng Long had said.

But seeing the fighting spirit rekindled in their eyes, everyone couldn't help but be encouraged.

"Qi Ye, no matter what you want to do, we will listen to you!" Yang Mi responded first.

"Yes! With a great god like you in charge, what is there to be afraid of? Let's go all out!"

Fairy Liu and Li Jing also nodded.

A kind of re-united force flows among everyone.

Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, Lin Qiye felt indescribably moved.

Brother Wu Jing, don't worry. I will definitely avenge you and lead everyone to escape!
He swore silently in his heart.

Then, he made a prompt decision and waved the long sword in his hand: "Everyone, keep the formation! Buy me some time, I want to meet this evil cauldron again!"

Li Jing and others nodded repeatedly, and deployed their previous battle formations, ready for battle.

Lin Qiye was extremely alert, staring at the bronze tripod intently and approaching it step by step.

He aimed at the body of the tripod and examined it carefully from top to bottom, inch by inch, trying to find any flaws in it.

I saw that the wall of the tripod was densely engraved with strange patterns, winding and twisting like snakes and scorpions.

It may seem chaotic at first glance, but in fact it conforms to some mysterious formation rules, and exudes an evil aura.

After a cursory glance, Lin Qiye did not find any clues.

Instead of being discouraged, he looked at every pattern more carefully.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up!
I saw a strangely shaped rune vaguely on the bottom corner of the tripod, which seemed to have evolved from an ancient totem.

It doesn't fit in with the other patterns, yet it's cleverly hidden among them. It's hard to spot without careful observation.

"That's it!"

Lin Qiye was overjoyed.

He held his breath and focused his attention on the rune. (End of this chapter)
