The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3306 took too long

"Hmph! Good timing!" Chen Mo snorted as he saw the strange beasts charging forward, then began to use his fists and feet to kick the black shadows away one by one.

Some of the shadowy figures even leaped into the air only to be flung backwards, crashing into the group of shadowy figures and knocking over many of them before finally stopping. However, they were also seriously injured and roared for a long time before they could get up.

However, none of this could stop the attacks from the other shadowy figures, who continued to charge forward relentlessly without stopping or giving Chen Mo any time to recover.

Fortunately, although these shadowy figures were close to the first level of the Innate Realm, they were nothing compared to Chen Mo. Even though they were numerous, they were only a bit troublesome, but they wouldn't harm him in the slightest.

The reason Chen Mo didn't kill him and held back his power was mainly to make the shadowy figure self-destruct, so that when it attacked him, he could directly store it in his Qiankun Bag for later use.

If it weren't for this reason, no matter how many dark figures were in front of him, they would only turn into dust in his hands.

While attacking, Chen Mo casually took out an array plate, kicked away all the black shadows surrounding him, then activated the restrictions with both hands, released the array plate, and activated the array on the plate to bring all the black shadows in the hall square into the array.

The moment the array barrier was erected, numerous dark figures crashed into it, causing the array barrier to flash with light, but none of the dark figures were able to break through the barrier.

"Roar!" The black shadow roared, using all its strength to ram into the barrier, but it couldn't break through at all.

Chen Mo stood in the center of the formation, activating the restrictions with both hands: "Suppress!"

With a ripple, the shadowy figures within the formation were pressed down by the gravity within the formation, causing hundreds of shadowy figures to lie prone on the ground.

Chen Mo sensed the energy of the formation; it was quite good. Even suppressing over a hundred strange beasts, the formation's energy remained strong, with minimal consumption. Moreover, the formation plate itself had a spirit-gathering array activated, constantly replenishing the formation's energy.

"Retract!" Chen Mo shouted, and the hundred black shadows that had been suppressed by gravity immediately broke free from their controller and roared as they charged toward him.

However, Chen Mo used the killing formation within the array to send the black shadows flying one after another, but they were injured but not killed. He repeatedly sent them flying, but he never used his full strength.

After being repeatedly knocked away, the hundred-odd black shadows suddenly roared and bulged their bodies, about to self-destruct.

However, the formation suddenly took control of it, and then more than a hundred immobilization talismans flew out from the center of the formation, sticking to the swollen black shadows one by one. At the critical point, they were directly immobilized by him, and then he flashed through the formation, putting these immobilized black shadows into his Qiankun bag one by one.

Hehe, in just a few minutes, I've captured over a hundred shadowy figures. I'm so happy!

continue!

Chen Mo activated the restriction in his hand, releasing the array barrier. More than a hundred black shadows rushed into the array again, and he repeated the previous action, putting these black shadows into his Qiankun bag one by one.

Repeating this process, in less than half an hour, Chen Mo had collected over a thousand shadowy figures.

However, the shadowy figures outside the main hall continued to pour in, as if their numbers were endless. Chen Mo had no better way to collect the shadowy figures into his Qiankun Bag for future use, so for now, he could only collect them one by one, without missing a single step. Every action was essential.

All the shadowy figures in his hands transformed into countless grenades about to explode, and were collected into his storage bag. Of course, the energy released when these shadowy figures exploded was more than ten times greater than that of a real grenade.

Otherwise, many martial artists wouldn't be afraid of the black shadow exploding, especially since the corrosive black water could directly corrode a martial artist's skin, making it far more corrosive than concentrated sulfuric acid.

After guarding the shadowy figure for over an hour, the energy in the array plate was completely depleted. After all, the energy replenished by the spirit-gathering array couldn't keep up with the energy consumption within the array itself, so this ebb and flow eventually depleted the array's energy.

Fortunately, Chen Mo didn't need to rush. He took out a low-grade spirit stone and directly replenished the array plate. In this way, he could start driving the array again and it would last for about an hour.

Under these circumstances, one by one, the dark figures were captured and thrown into the Qiankun Bag.

After repeating this action for about two hours, Chen Mo stopped. Looking at the square still packed with shadowy figures, he immediately frowned. He had probably collected five or six thousand shadowy figures into his Qiankun bag, but there seemed to be just as many outside.

But if we don't stop now, those trapped in the illusion array might run into trouble.

After all, being immersed in the illusion array for so long is bound to cause problems. He didn't want anything to happen to these people, especially since Ouyang Ruoxi was among them.

So he used the restriction to stop the formation, retrieved the array plate, and then, ignoring the black shadows that were biting and attacking him, he flashed into the hut.

"Lan Caijie, how is the situation?" Chen Mo asked, looking at her pacing back and forth inside the firewall.

"It seems that some martial artists were trying to wake up just now, but I channeled some spiritual energy into the illusion array to increase my control over it, so it's alright. However, if this continues, more problems may arise. After all, being trapped in the illusion array for too long will naturally cause many issues."

Being trapped in an illusion is actually like a vivid dream. Even after waking up, you won't forget your experience in the illusion. Of course, this is on the premise that you gradually exit the illusion.

However, what is fake is fake, and it is impossible to bypass the body's real reactions, such as physiological reactions, or being attacked in reality, which will cause the person trapped in the illusion to wake up.

Of course, the duration of this illusion varies depending on the level of the illusion array and the strength of the person trapped within. If the illusion array is of a very high level and the person trapped within is of low strength, then it's not impossible for them to die directly within the illusion.

However, the illusion Chen Mo is currently using is only a beginner to intermediate level illusion, not a high level one. So, over time, it will naturally arouse suspicion from those trapped in the illusion.

Just like now, Lan Caijie pointed at Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing and said, "These two have struggled several times and may have some doubts. If it happens a few more times, they may come to their senses."

Chen Mo nodded and said, "You go back behind him and hide first. I'll have these people break free from the illusion's control now, and then after a while, I'll bring them back into the illusion."

“Okay!” Lan Caijie nodded in agreement, then flashed to Zhou Zixing’s side and entered the soul crystal behind him.

After scanning the surroundings, he put some of the wood he had taken out earlier back into his Qiankun bag before activating the restriction to slowly lure these people out of the illusion array.
