Chapter 330: Spell Formation

Jiang Yuan stared blankly at Lu Mingshu for a moment, before bursting out into laughter. She seemed less serious now too.

“Do you think I’ll help you if you anger me?” she asked unenthusiastically. “Whatever, with your ability, I can’t get much out of you even if I torture you. After this debate, we will part ways anyway so it’s no longer my problem.”

After this, she went back into the hold.

Lu Mingshu looked at Yan Wugui weirdly at the sudden change of Jiang Yuan’s mood. But Yan Wugui just shook his head and sat back down at the bow. “Go and rest. It’s my turn now.”

“...okay.”

She nodded and went into the hold.

Jiang Yuan was leaning against the wall, staring into space instead of meditating, sleeping, or even talking to Lu Mingshu.

Lu Mingshu chose a spot that was nearer to the entrance and slept.

Time passed by quickly, and soon it was Jiang Yuan’s turn to be on guard and Yan Wugui’s turn to rest.

When the sun rose up, the trio was standing side by side on the bow, and they could already see the island vaguely. There were only a few boats in front of them that were dashing toward the island.

“Are we late or early?” Yan Wugui asked.

Jiang Yuan looked over at him and said nothing.

Obviously early. How would the provided boats function better than a boat that the aristocratic families prepared?

As soon as they got near the end, the boat started to sway left and right, followed by a strong force, driving the boat up.

The three of them reacted fast. Yan Wugui was the first one the dive into the waters while Lu Mingshu landed on her bronze leaf. Jiang Yuan pressed the boat down to prevent it from tipping.

Soon, Yan Wugui came back with some dead beasts that he killed.

“We’re good, right?” Before Jiang Yuan could respond, he happily kept the water beasts.

“...” Of course Jiang Yuan wouldn’t make a fuss about it. Why would I, who’s from the Jiang family, lack water beast corpses? But this guy somehow looks extremely unpleasant!

The sky slowly turned bright, and the lake glistered under the sunlight. Lake Heart Island was already close to them.

Jiang Yuan suddenly stomped, and the boat came to a halt.

“What’s wrong?” Yan Wugui asked.

“Wait.”

Suddenly, a boat that was a bit faster than them was tipped over by a huge wave.

This was a normal boat, which was parked at the dock previously, prepared by the Supreme Sacred Imperial Palace. There were four participants on the boat, and they must have put in a lot of hard work to be able to arrive at such a fast pace.

Facing this change, the four participants reacted quickly. Two of them tried to stabilize the boat while the other two prepared to attack. Their seals lit up and they successfully got back on safely.

“Oh, so there’s a trap here!” Yan Wugui looked back at the two of them in shock.

But Jiang Yuan’s eyes were stuck on the four of them, and it seemed she did not hear him.

After some time, the four of them finally got rid of the water beasts and continued their journey. But in the blink of an eye, another water beast came up, and a killing spree began.

That was still not the end; after they got rid of this water beast, another emerged from the waters again after they travelled for less than a mile.

To this kind of boat, which was designed like a speedboat, a mile was only a blink of an eye for them, which meant that they had not gotten any rest since they killed the first one.

No matter how slow someone was, they would have realized that something was wrong by now.

“This route is a wrong one?” Yan Wugui asked.

Jiang Yuan hummed in response but said nothing more.

After killing this beast, the four of them learned their lesson. They stopped in their tracks to get a rest first.

But even so, another beast came up to attack them soon after.

After observing for a while Lu Mingshu suddenly said, “If we want to get through here safely, there must be a special path, right?”

Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Mingshu weirdly.

“I don’t feel anything, which is enough to prove that the beasts are all hiding, waiting for someone to step into the trap.”

“So?”

“The distance is so huge, if one were to kill one beast every step they take, it would be extremely tedious. But if one waits for the participants in front to clear the road, that would not be fair.”

“It wasn’t a bad idea to sign a contract with you guys!” Jiang Yuan burst out in laughter.

“Isn’t that obvious?” Yan Wugui side-eyed her. “Where else can you find helpers like us?”

“...”

Ignoring Yan Wugui, Lu Mingshu continued to watch the battle. “The first round is already so cruel, the second round wouldn’t be that simple, so the route would be the main factor here.”

Finally, this got Jiang Yuan to spill the secret. “Yeah. Lake Heart Island is surrounded with ambushing water beasts. One can only pass this round if they successfully pass by the beasts and get to the island.”

“So what’s the solution?”

“You can kill your way in, that’s the most direct and stupid way. Or...” Jiang Yuan smirked. “Do it more easily by having certain pieces of information.”

“Do you have that information?”

Jiang Yuan smiled and shrugged.

The smile was somehow arrogant. If Lu Mingshu was really from Bell Woods, she would be throwing a fit right now.

However, to Lu Mingshu, this world had nothing to do with her, and the more information Jiang Yuan had, the better.

Watching the battle between the four participants and the water beasts getting increasingly intense, Jiang Yuan clicked her tongue. “There’s a spell formation around this island, and the water beasts are all raised there. If you aren’t aware of it, you will end up like those four. Lucky ones might survive, but if you’re not so lucky...”

You will turn into food for the water beasts.

Lu Mingshu finished the sentence in her head.

“Since there’s a spell, there’s a way to break it?” Yan Wugui asked.

“How is it possible for us to break such a big formation? We only have to choose the right methods.” Jiang Yuan looked over at him.

However, Yan Wugui wasn’t interested in her stories. “Tell us if you want, but stop wasting our time.”

Jiang Yuan’s face darkened and she huffed. “I need to observe first. It changes.”

This was the first time Lu Mingshu had ever seen such a spell formation, so of course, she couldn’t tell. But within no time, she could sense the spell’s wave motion.

Thanks to the Drug Lord, after he did his drug testing on me, not only did I become healthier, I’m more sensitive too.

She closed her eyes to feel it better.

It was like a drum, drumming softly.

Boom! Boom Boom! Boom Boom Boom!

Lu Mingshu tried to observe for its pattern, calculating it in her mind. Of course, she wouldn’t be able to break the formation. She was not a magician to start with. But this spell formation was not an advanced spell.

After some time, a few more boats arrived. Some stopped to watch like them while some went on.

“Brother Jiang.” A small boat sped over to them, and Chu Zhengyan came out of the hold, smiling widely at her. “Early, aren’t you?”
