Peerless War God

At that time, she and her clansmen might have a sliver of hope.    

Even if this glimmer of hope was placed on an outsider, it would be so insubstantial and insubstantial.    

She also knew that apart from this, there was nothing else that could be done. There was only one path to choose from.    

Chen Xiao did not answer her question. Instead, he changed the topic and said: "If I am yours, I will stay far away from you as soon as possible in case I am injured."    

"No, I'm standing here. I want to see with my own eyes what the secret of all this is." Hua Yin insisted.    

In her heart, she had long since put life and death out of her mind. Or perhaps, it could be said that understanding this secret was far more important than her own life.    

It was a secret that countless members of the Soul Race yearned to know. Now, she might have a little chance. No matter how dangerous it was, she would not leave.    

"Me too," Xiaoxiao said stubbornly. Her face was full of panic, but she insisted.    

Chen Xiao glanced at the two of them and did not say anything else. He only said, "Whatever. Life and death are up to the heavens, and each of you has your own destiny."    

Hearing that, Hua Yin and Xiaoxiao looked at each other and silently stood aside. They did not dare to disturb him.    

Then, Chen Xiao started to investigate around this strange array, not leaving a single trace behind, wanting to find out the way to break it.    

A few hours later, Chen Xiao found a rock and sat down. He sighed and said: "What a huge formation, it seems to have wrapped up the entire mountain peak. What a big thing."    

After checking from the outside, the entire array formation was seamless and airtight, as if there were no flaws or loopholes. It could be said to be flawless, and it was difficult to break through.    

Such a result not only did not make him feel discouraged, but also made him feel energized.    

The more perfect the array was, the more deliberate it seemed. It left behind too many traces of people's actions. Even Chen Xiao had guessed that this array was a part of the Mountain and River Diagram, and it was personally set up by the mighty figure who had refined the world of the Mountain and River Diagram.    

In other words, the biggest secret of the world of the Mountain and River Diagram was behind this array.    

"It seems that the real secret lies behind this formation. But how do I find out the situation inside?"    

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao frowned.    

He knew very well that with such an exquisite array and the Talisman Beasts guarding it, as long as there was the slightest bit of external interference, it would definitely alert the enemy and alert the existence within the array.    

He paused for a moment, looked towards the distance, and asked: "Hua Yin."    

"I'm here. Did you find anything?"    

"No. Let me ask you something. Have you seen any Talisman Beasts before? How strong are they?"    

Hua Yin nodded and said: "Yes, I have. The symbol beasts are very strong. As long as someone wants to enter the formation, they will be targeted by the symbol beasts and won't stop until they are dead."    

After Chen Xiao's mention, she recalled the nightmarish journey from dozens of years ago. She remembered that her husband and that outsider were both buried on the mountain.    

She felt a lingering fear in her heart.    

That was the past that she didn't want to think about, and it was the eternal pain in her heart.    

"Since it is not over until you die, why are you still alive?" Chen Xiao asked.    

"The Talisman Beasts will kill everything that enters the array, but as long as they escape a certain distance, the Talisman Beasts will return to the array and no longer chase after them." Hua Yin said with red eyes.    

That was a painful memory that she didn't want to talk about. In order for her to survive, she had watched the person she loved the most die under the claws of the Talisman Beasts with her own eyes.    

Every time she thought about it, she felt so much pain that she wished she was dead.    

"So it's like this, how many Talisman Beasts do we have?"    

"Only one, but it's extremely fast. No one can be its opponent. It's very terrifying," Hua Yin replied.    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao finally heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "If there is only one, there is still a chance. If there is another one, then there will be no chance for us to succeed."    

Hearing that, Hua Yin's expression turned strange. He was extremely shocked and said: "Do you really want to force your way in?"    

Hua Yin was very complicated about Chen Xiao.    

Logically speaking, the hatred in her heart towards outsiders had long since penetrated deep into her bone marrow, and it was increasing by the day.    

However, she had seen everything that Chen Xiao had done, especially the little tolerance. She seemed to be able to see the difference between Chen Xiao and the other outsiders.    

Reason told her that the true enemy of the Soul Race was not the outsiders, but the existence of the array formation.    

"If I don't give it a try, how would I know if it will work?" Chen Xiao smiled and said, "However, the two of you better stay away from each other. If anything happens to you, you better pray for good luck."    

He was not the bodyguard of the two of them. If anything really happened to them, it would naturally be better for him to protect himself.    

No matter what the situation was, he would not risk his own life.    

Hearing that, Hua Yin's face darkened. He nodded hard and said, "I know. I just want to see what the secret is and what the truth is."    

"Me too." Xiaoxiao agreed.    

"Okay."    

After Chen Xiao casually replied, he no longer paid attention to the two of them. It seemed that he started to get busy.    

It was not easy to break through the array and go deep into it, but there was still a way.    

Since he already knew that there was still a Talisman Beast inside, he would use the same method to return the favor to him.    

"Yes, we will do it this way."    

Just like that, after several days of production, two more wooden puppets appeared beside Chen Xiao. They were more than two meters tall, and they silently knelt in front of him like two guards.    

Chen Xiao used his fingers to draw the rune marks on the wooden puppets' bodies.    

Only then could the wooden puppets truly move and become useful fighting strength.    

It was not that Chen Xiao didn't want to make a stronger puppet, but in this strange world in the painting, the only thing he could find that was suitable for making puppets was wood.    

It required a large amount of divine soul power to speed up the process of making puppets and drawing runes. With his current condition, being able to make two wooden puppets was already his limit.    

Although the soul crystal could recover a certain amount of divine soul energy, it was too slow and consumed too quickly.    

For safety's sake, he didn't dare to consume too much of his divine soul energy, because if anything went wrong, it would be destroyed.    

Luckily, before he entered the world within the painting, he had the escape jade slip that Gu Changsheng had given him. At least he had one last line of defense, just in case.    

"Let's rest for a while before making any plans."    

Chen Xiao looked at the two completed wooden puppets, but did not make any new moves. Instead, he found a big tree and leaned against it, accumulating his energy and resting first.    

Hua Yin and Xiaoxiao, who were squatting at the side, were stunned by Chen Xiao's actions, as if they were looking at a miracle.    

The more confused they were, the more afraid they were.
