Chapter 1647: Predicament
Chapter 1647: Predicament
Taking a deep breath.
Qin Chen placed his hand on the Star Gate and then pushed it open.
The door slowly opened.
For the moment, everything was calm.
Ji Tian and everyone’s eyes were fixed here, not daring to blink.
Finally.
The door was fully opened.
What entered Qin Chen’s sight was a vast Star Desert.
Empty, and seemingly endless.
Even though no danger had occurred, Qin Chen remained vigilant.
After a careful observation, Qin Chen cautiously placed his left foot onto the Star Desert beyond the door.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
As soon as Qin Chen’s left foot touched the Star Desert beyond the door, the desert beneath his feet acted like a giant hand, suddenly pulling him in.
Before Qin Chen could react, the Star Desert began to spin rapidly, like a swamp.
Qin Chen found it impossible to break free!
"Qin Ni!"
Ji Tian and the others’ gazes sharpened, shouting out.
Qin Chen struggled to break free from the Star Desert, but this desert had a strange flexibility; the more he tried, the deeper he sank.
"Damn it!"
Qin Chen swore quietly, realizing that, despite his caution, he had still fallen into an unexpected trap.
"Hahaha!"
At this moment, a figure appeared behind the Star Desert with a burst of wild laughter.
Its form was like a jellyfish, about a meter tall, radiating Star Light, with deformed and grotesque features.
Beside it stood two individuals who seemed to have lost their souls, their eyes glowing green.
"Star Spirit!"
Recognizing the figure, Qin Chen immediately identified it, even though he had never seen a Star Spirit before.
Ji Tian and over three hundred Heavenly Prides’ eyes were filled with killing intent.
The Star Spirit smiled, "To be honest, I’m quite surprised you managed to pass the first obstacle."
"However, from the moment you dared to step into the ’Quicksand Star River’, it meant you were doomed."
"The only one who is doomed is you!"
Ji Tian’s eyes were cold, then he said to the people behind him, "Let’s rescue Qin Ni first; now that this guy has shown himself, we’re just one step away!"
"While you’re thinking about rescuing him, maybe you should consider how to survive yourselves first."
The Star Spirit laughed oddly.
Suddenly.
"Boom!"
The ground quivered, and the previously invisible walls appeared in front of everyone, and the Star Gate slammed shut.
Not only that.
Walls appeared on Ji Tian and the others’ left, right, and behind.
They were surrounded!
"This is the legendary Star Killing Array from the Ancient Times! You’re lucky to face it today and die without regret!"
"It’s the Star Killing Array!"
Little Fairy’s face paled slightly.
"Can this array be broken?" Qin Chen asked anxiously.
Little Fairy said, "I’ve only heard of the Star Killing Array, never learned it."
"This array consists of four Star Jades, extremely hard to detect. Earlier, you walked right past a Star Jade but noticed nothing."
"Is that so?"
Qin Chen’s expression changed, sensing something amiss, "Is this Star Killing Array a killing array or a trapping formation?"
There is a world of difference between the two.
The former poses a direct threat to life, while the latter imprisons with room for maneuver.
"Killing array!"
Qin Chen heard what he least wanted to hear; Little Fairy knew he didn’t want to hear it, yet she had to speak the truth.
"Boom."
In the instant Little Fairy finished speaking.
The four Star Jades moved.
Closing in on Ji Tian and the others, squeezing their space!
"Damn it!"
Seeing this scene, Qin Chen’s face turned extremely grim, "At this rate, Ji Tian and others will be crushed to paste by these four Star Jades!"
"In at most one quarter, you’ll become nothing but blood paste!"
"Cherish this last quarter of your lives!"
The Star Spirit laughed viciously.
"There must be a way!"
Qin Chen’s heart suddenly shook, his gaze fixed on the Star Gate on the Star Jade.
If he could rush to open the Star Gate in time, Ji Tian and the others could escape, right?
Of course, achieving this required several conditions.
First, Qin Chen needed to escape the Quicksand Star River himself.
Second, the Star Gate had to open after the Star Killing Array was activated.
Third, he must find a way to resolve the Quicksand Star River, or even if Ji Tian and others escaped the Star Killing Array, they’d fall into the river again.
Then, they’d still be at a disadvantage.
In the Quicksand Star River, they’re no different from ordinary people, unable to use their powers.
Falling into the hands of the Star Spirit would make them mere toys.
In fact, the Star Killing Array and Quicksand Star River were the last two obstacles the Star Spirit mentioned.
They’re linked, even avoiding the Star Killing Array, they couldn’t escape the Quicksand Star River.
"Dare to stand against me!"
The Star Spirit laughed cruelly.
Qin Chen was trapped in the Quicksand Star River, thinking through every possible solution.
"There is, in fact, a method, and it’s very simple," Little Fairy said.
"What method?"
"Kill the Star Spirit!"
Little Fairy said, "The Star Spirit is the Dominator of this realm, if you kill it, you become the Dominator, then stopping the Star Killing Array and Quicksand Star River is not a problem!"
Qin Chen’s eyes narrowed, then he smiled bitterly.
Killing the Star Spirit sounds simple!
But, how to do it?
First, Qin Chen didn’t know the Star Spirit’s strength.
Second, Qin Chen needed to escape the Quicksand Star River.
Third, there were two people with the Star Spirit, their strength unknown, but likely formidable.
These were the challenges.
"For now, my primary goal is to escape the Quicksand Star River! This is the premise for all viable goals!"
Qin Chen shifted his focus.
He was troubled!
The Quicksand Star River was like a swamp, the more he struggled, the harder it was to break free, and Qin Chen was already completely swallowed by it.
Time slowly passed for a half quarter!
The Star Jades closing in on Ji Tian and others were less than five hundred meters away.
The four Star Jades were like monstrous mouths about to devour their lives.
The Star Spirit sat on the Star Throne, not worried at all, enjoying the spectacle.
How to break this predicament?
