When the other spiritual mediums saw the magic formation trembling, they naturally exerted all their strength.
Eve hesitated for a moment but still decided to ask Ning Yitao.
Unexpectedly, Ning Yitao was also looking in their direction. Eve asked,
"Shall we go and help them? It seems like they can really get out."
Ning Yitao shook her head and said,
"It's useless. This formation will backfire. Just telling them won't work. They have to suffer the consequences themselves to realize it's a dead - end."
After hearing Ning Yitao's words, Grinton stopped his steps, which were about to move to help them.
Ning Yitao's words came true the next second.
No one expected that the formation would tremble violently under the attacks of the crowd.
But they didn't know that their joy would not last long before it was shattered.
In a short while, the backlash force from the formation sent all of them flying.
The incident happened without any warning. Naturally, the spiritual mediums were not prepared. They were sent into the air and then fell heavily to the ground.
All the spiritual mediums on the scene were internally injured.
Those with weaker constitutions even spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and collapsed on the ground, unable to move. They could only cry out helplessly.
Their incompetence was fully displayed at this moment.
However, the live - streaming cameras were not human - oriented. Everything that happened inside had nothing to do with the photography.
The cameras flying in the air still adhered to their duties.
At this time, some viewers called the police. Naturally, there were also media and fearless onlookers who wanted to join the fun.
People were coming here one after another.
This place was geographically remote, so it would take them some time to get here.
Moreover, those people couldn't do anything when they came. They were helpless.
They could only watch the people inside die, and it would only increase the number of casualties.
Ning Yitao looked up and saw the cameras. She knew she needed to speed up. Delaying would only hurt more innocent people.
Ning Yitao felt extremely frustrated.
She had just stopped the program crew from going into the mountain forest.
When she turned her head, she saw the spiritual mediums lying on the ground in a mess.
Ning Yitao's temples throbbed. The scene gave her a splitting headache.
But now they could finally calm down and listen to her seriously.
Ning Yitao steadied herself.
At this moment, the wind howled, blowing the ends of Ning Yitao's hair.
She just stood there quietly. The aura exuding from her made people instinctively want to submit. She was like a female war - goddess standing on the ruins. Just her presence filled people with hope.
The fallen spiritual mediums managed to sit up and looked at Ning Yitao.
She became the backbone of everyone.
Henry, who had exerted the most strength just now, was also the most seriously injured.
He was lying flat on the ground, gasping slightly. Blood kept flowing from his mouth, but his hand still tightly grasped his staff and refused to let go.
Ning Yitao told the staff to stand together with the immobile spiritual mediums.
She gathered the two groups of people together.
This time, she didn't hide anymore. She directly cut her palm and showed her golden blood in front of everyone.
The golden light in her hand glowed, and drop by drop, it seeped into the soil.
Ning Yitao clasped her hands together and constantly changed the gestures on her hands to form a formation.
As her hands moved, the blood on Ning Yitao's hands floated towards the program crew and formed a golden magic formation under their feet. Then it disappeared into the ground.
The moment the formation was completed, the Yin energy on the staff members dissipated, and the vitality that had been sucked away returned.
The staff members, who had been troubled and listless, regained their energy.
Their minds could finally function normally.
But now they had no power to resist. After recognizing the situation, they could only stay in the circle motionless.
They all knew in their hearts that they could only wait for Ning Yitao's rescue.
Ning Yitao could only protect them from harm in this barrier. The Yin energy in this formation became thicker and thicker, and the sky had completely darkened.
The staff members in the work group couldn't be contaminated with too much evil energy, or they would lose themselves.
If they suddenly ran out to cause trouble, it would be difficult to handle.
Ning Yitao had no choice. Now she could only settle them down, try to avoid the loss of innocent lives, and then do her own thing.
Ning Yitao looked at Eve and Grinton standing behind her and asked,
"You go and stand with them first and wait for me in the magic formation. It can protect you. I'll go into the mountain forest to find out what's going on."
But Eve shook her head. She said,
"They have this formation. There aren't many spiritual mediums left here who can be useful. I can sense that there's something unusual in the mountain forest. I'll go with you. Maybe I can help. An extra person means an extra force."
After Eve finished speaking, Grinton immediately followed up,
"I'll go with you too. It's my way of repaying you for saving my life last time."
Eve knew it was a difficult decision for Grinton to make. He was the only bread - winner in his family. But seeing that Ning Yitao was about the same age as his child and that he still owed Ning Yitao a favor, he couldn't bear to let Ning Yitao take the risk alone.
Ning Yitao nodded and didn't refuse anymore. Time was of the essence.
Duan Qinghuai naturally wanted to follow. As long as he was around, he would never let Ning Yitao face danger alone.
Before leaving, Ning Yitao heaved a heavy sigh. She casually glanced at the villagers still kneeling on the ground praying. She helplessly told the staff,
"You go and pull the villagers later and let them stay in the circle as much as possible. If there are any who don't listen, just leave them alone. Fate has its own way."
This was Ning Yitao's last tolerance for them.
The group walked towards the mountain forest with thick fog.
They didn't notice that after they disappeared into the mountain forest,
Henry, who had been lying on the ground unable to move, somehow used his staff to repair his injuries.
But he was too seriously injured. He managed to stand up and staggered in the direction of Ning Yitao and the others, and caught up with them.
He disappeared from the sight of the program crew, and his voice gradually faded away. No one knew what was waiting for them ahead.
The villagers just stood there, staring blankly at the sky, not knowing what to do. Their memories were still stuck at the moment when the gods had descended punishment. Then they knelt on the ground on their own, praying and kowtowing, hoping to change the situation.
At this moment, the staff members in the circle took a step forward. They were going to pull the villagers into the circle.
But before they even stepped out of the circle,
The next second, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and accurately targeted a villager in the crowd.
The struck villager exploded on the spot, with flesh and blood flying everywhere. Not even a whole body was left.
