"No, I'm still Shiji, I haven't changed. I know, this formation is called the Yin-Yang Bagua Formation. It makes people unable to distinguish between friends and foes, and thus launch indiscriminate attacks. Don't worry, with me here, we will definitely find a way to break this formation and escape." Shiji comforted.

In fact, Shiji himself didn't know how to escape from this formation. How could he possibly know the formation when even the second princess of the Rose Empire didn't know it?

But he hesitated whether to tell Manrong his true thoughts. On the one hand, he didn't know the method, and on the other hand, the current situation of both of them was not good.

"Shiji, actually I have heard something about this..." Manrong said.

"Oh? Then tell me about it." Shiji said with interest.

"It is said that this formation can only be set up by someone with great magical powers. No wonder it is listed as a forbidden formation. When our Rose Empire was fighting with other empires, we suffered a lot of damage from this formation, with heavy casualties. So for our safety, mother set up this formation as a forbidden formation. When other empires saw us doing this, they followed suit." Manrong explained.

Shiji nodded in agreement, because the system had just told him that the power of the Yin-Yang Bagua formation should not be underestimated. If they stayed in this formation for a long time, they would probably be like soldiers lying on the battlefield.

"But who on earth could change this formation that has remained unchanged for a thousand years? I'm afraid the person who set up this formation is not a simple person. Shiji, what do you think?" Manrong said fearfully.

"I agree with you, but what we have to do now is to escape from here as soon as possible." Shiji said firmly.

Then, Shiji turned to look at the pigeon elf and asked, "Xin, this formation has me at a loss, do you know how to break it?"

The pigeon elf took a closer look at the formation and replied, "This formation looks indestructible, but it is not. It just requires a very high level of cultivation and magic power to break it, but..."

After hearing this, Shiji couldn't help but sigh, lowered his head, and continued in a low voice: "But my current cultivation and magic power are far from enough. It is simply wishful thinking to want to break this formation."

After a moment of silence, Shiji suddenly thought of Manrong beside him. He looked up suddenly, and suddenly realized that Manrong was seriously injured at the moment, and her magic power must be much less than before, maybe even less than his current magic power.

But what if she still has a glimmer of hope? Thinking of this, Shiji still asked: "How do you feel now? Can you mobilize your mana? It takes enough cultivation and mana to break this formation. I consumed too much before, and now my mana is not enough."

Man Rong looked tired, her eyes a little unfocused. She said, "I'm not sure if my magic power is enough... but I can try."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and began to mobilize her magic power. However, before long, she seemed to be struggling, with fine beads of cold sweat on her forehead, and her face first turned red, and then gradually turned pale.

In the end, Man Rong couldn't hold on any longer and was forced to stop. She was already injured and had insufficient mana, and now she had used up all the remaining mana.

Her body swayed, her center of gravity was unstable, and she almost fell to the ground. Shi Ji was quick to catch her.

"My magic power is definitely not enough to break the formation, and I have almost no magic power left in my body now. It won't be long before I fall asleep." Man Rong said weakly.

After hearing this, Shiji could only nod helplessly, helped the weak Manrong sit down, and told her to have a good rest. He sat down on the side and thought about other ways to break the formation.

He knew that his mana was insufficient, and he had just witnessed the difficult process of Man Rong casting the spell. Her mana was very weak now, and the forced mobilization just now consumed a lot of it. She might not even be able to cast the spell again, let alone break the formation.

Is there really no other way to break the formation? He doesn't want to be trapped in this formation forever.

Shiji stood up and began to carefully examine the formation. He wandered around not far from Manrong, trying to find the flaws in the formation.

After turning around a few times, under Shiji's careful observation, the entire formation seemed to be flawless and was simply impeccable.

But nothing in the world is perfect. No matter how clever this formation is, it must have its flaws. As long as you don't give up, you will definitely find the key to cracking this formation.

After observing the area again, Shiji suddenly found something that seemed a little off. He returned to the place he had just passed, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. However, despite his doubts, he could not find the problem.

After staying here for a while, Shiji still had no clue, but he felt that this place was suspicious based on his intuition.

After thinking for a while, Shiji decided to mobilize his magic power and try to use magic to break the formation from this suspicious point. Since this place is suspicious, maybe he doesn't need enough magic power to break the formation.

He gathered his magic and gradually approached a corner of the formation. However, before he touched the formation, his magic power turned into starlight and gradually dissipated.

Shiji tried again, but the spell was consumed even faster. He felt this place was more suspicious, so he tried it several times, but the result was still the same.

If this method doesn't work, continuing to use magic to forcibly break the formation may cause the formation to be destroyed.

Therefore, he did not dare to try to break the formation from here with magic, for fear of destroying the formation and being unable to break it forever, and being trapped here forever.

After trying to break the formation without success, Shiji was stunned and filled with confusion.

The carrier pigeon elf said that it would require sufficient skills and magic to break the formation, but why were his spells swallowed up by the formation?
Does it mean that it can only be broken by using enough mana to hit the target in one shot? Insufficient mana will only be swallowed up by the formation... Or does it require a clever combination of spells to break it?
Shiji couldn't figure out the reason or method for the time being, and the clues seemed to be interrupted.

This might be the key to breaking the formation, but it seems suspicious yet there is no flaw to be found.

Was he too suspicious? Or was he too eager to break the formation and made a mistake in judgment?

After checking all the cases without any result, Shiji returned to the original place with his head down. He was still thinking about the suspicious points he just found. What was going on?
Just as he was deep in thought, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to him, and the fire of hope was rekindled in his originally dull pupils.

Yes! How could he forget? He also has the super plug-in system!

With it, are you still afraid that you can't break this small formation?

Therefore, Shiji quickly asked the system for a way to break the formation: "System, do you have any way to break this formation?"

After hearing this, the system quickly gave an answer: "Of course there is a way."

Shiji was very excited after hearing this, and couldn't wait to ask: "What is the method? How to crack it?"

Hearing the system's reply, Shiji's joy surged like a spring and could not be contained. He had been trapped in this formation for too long, and he longed to escape every moment.

We still have to rely on the system, there is always a way to break the formation!

Once he learned that the system had a method to break the formation, Shiji couldn't wait to ask, wishing he could break out of the formation immediately.

The system slowly explained to Shiji: "This formation seems impeccable on the surface, as if it is a dead end, but in fact all formations have their own unique formation eye. The formation eye is the key to cracking various formations. It can be any object in the formation, and the formation eye of this formation is a seemingly ordinary and inconspicuous object."

When the system said this, Shiji already had a hunch in his heart. Just now, he noticed that a corner of the formation was a little suspicious. Although he did not come to a definite conclusion at that time, maybe that was the center of the formation, which was the key to cracking the formation!

Thinking of this, he immediately walked towards the suspicious place and asked the system: "Is the center of the formation you mentioned there?"

He pointed to the corner of the formation.

"Yes, the eye of the formation is right there. I have just said that the objects at the eye of the formation are very ordinary. Look carefully to see if there are any objects that meet these characteristics." The system instructed Shiji again.

Shiji began to look carefully at every item in the corner thoughtfully, afraid of missing any details.

In a formation, any object could be the center of the formation, even the most inconspicuous thing. Therefore, Shiji did not dare to be careless and observed carefully.

A few ordinary weeds, a few flowers that are about to wither, a pile of disorderly stones...

Shiji frowned. The system said that the array center was very ordinary, but every item here was very ordinary: flowers, plants, stones...

It seems that everything could be the center of the formation, and yet it seems that nothing could be the center of the formation.

Shiji fell into confusion again, and her thoughts were temporarily interrupted.

Seeing this, the system reminded: "Did you just try to use magic to attack there to break the formation?"

Shiji nodded.

The system continued, "If you want to find the center of the formation and break it, you can use magic, but the method is not to attack. You might as well mobilize the magic now to explore the spiritual power fluctuations there."

Upon hearing this, Shiji immediately mobilized his own magical power to inspect every item there one by one.

When his magic power touched the scattered stones on the ground, the fluctuation of spiritual power suddenly changed slightly.

Found it! The center of the formation turned out to be this inconspicuous pile of stones!
Shiji was overjoyed and quickly asked the system for confirmation: "The core of the formation is these stones, right system?"

The system replied affirmatively: "Yes, but these are not ordinary stones. Although they look plain on the surface, they actually hide mysteries. You just detected that there are spiritual power fluctuations on these stones, which means that they are not ordinary stones, but spiritual stones containing magical power."

“However, the spiritual power contained in each stone is not much, so if you don’t specifically detect the fluctuations of spiritual power, at most you will just feel that there is something abnormal there, and it is difficult to find that these spiritual stones are the core of the formation.”

Shiji suddenly realized that this was the reason! No wonder he had always felt that there was something suspicious but could never find the reason.

This formation is really brilliant!

The system continued, "The placement of these stones actually has a pattern. This formation is called the Yin-Yang Bagua Formation, and the placement of these stones is actually a Yin-Yang Bagua diagram. The key to breaking the formation lies in the spiritual stone at the very bottom center."

"The position of this spirit stone is slightly off. If we move it slightly to the left and align it with the one above, we can break this formation!"

Shiji heard this and looked down at the spiritual stone on the ground. Compared with the one above, the one below was indeed slightly shifted to the right. The difference was very small, and if you didn't look closely, you could hardly see the difference in the positions of the two stones.

Shiji once again marveled at the ingenuity and subtlety of this formation. If he didn't have the system, he would probably be trapped in this formation forever!

At this time, the system told him: "After cracking this formation, you will also gain a variety of different formation settings, as well as 120 points of Chaos Energy."

After hearing this, Shiji was in great mood and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Great! It's a double happiness!" Not only can he break out of the formation, but he can also get these valuable gains. His strength will definitely be greatly improved!

After saying that, he began to prepare to break the formation.

Following the instructions of the system, Shiji began to carefully move the spiritual stone. He moved very slowly because the position had to be exactly right without the slightest deviation in order to break the formation.

At this time, Manrong, who had closed her eyes to rest, opened her eyes, looked at Shiji and asked, "What did you say just now? What was so great? What about double happiness?"

Her eyes fell on Shiji's hand that was moving the spirit stone, and she asked again: "What are you doing? Do you already know how to break the formation?"

Faced with Manrong's sudden question, Shiji was a little at a loss.

He didn't know how to answer.

He was so excited just now that he even forgot that Manrong was beside him.

Shiji was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain to Manrong. He couldn't tell Manrong that he was following the instructions of the system, right? Manrong would definitely think he was making it up. But Manrong kept doubting himself, which made him feel helpless.

So Shiji had no choice but to say to Manrong: "This...I figured it out myself, do you believe it?"

Manrong stared at Shiji with her big eyes: "You'd better tell me the truth. As teammates, I hope we can be honest with each other."

Shiji immediately retorted: "I am telling the truth, but you just don't believe it. Besides, as teammates, we need to understand each other. What about you? You didn't tell me about your previous experiences."

Manrong was choked by Shiji's words and was speechless. She did have her own secrets that could not be revealed, so she had no right to accuse Shiji of being dishonest.

Both of them fell silent and sat aside, trying to calm each other down.

Shiji wondered in his heart: Why is this teammate so difficult to deal with? Why does he want to know the truth about everything? What should I do next?

He paced back and forth, and finally saw a huge and flat stone. He sat down and thought silently by himself.

Just as Shiji was deep in thought, Manrong suddenly stood up and walked towards him without saying a word, with a numb expression and no emotion at all.

Shiji was surprised and didn't understand what Manrong was going to do. He thought Manrong was going to come over and beat him up!
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? As a teammate, you can't use violence! Pay attention, hey!" Shiji shouted to Manrong.

But Manrong acted as if she didn't hear him and continued walking towards him, even quickening her pace.

Seeing this, Shiji continued, "Hey, I told you not to come over here! Manrong, it's just a small matter, why are you so angry? It's not worth it." (End of this chapter)
