Shen Weixun grabbed Niannian's small wrist and refused to let her get off his shoulder.
Stubbornness and self - assertion had to be shown at the right time. He would never allow such self - sacrifice.
"Third Senior Brother..."
The little girl was in a dilemma. She really couldn't think of any other way.
"I'll say it again. Don't even think about it. I'll think of another way. I don't believe that a living man can be choked to death by his urine."
Shen Weixun scolded her sharply.
When they got out, he must change Niannian's habit. Saving the world and helping others was not their business.
If the sky was going to fall, there would be taller people to hold it up. There was no need for a little kid like her to take everything on herself.
"Give me the compass."
Shen Weixun reached out his hand.
Niannian hesitated for a second but still handed the compass in her hand over.
Shen Weixun fiddled with the compass a couple of times. After mobilizing the power in his body, he closed his eyes and carefully felt the energy of the entire formation.
Yin and Yang needed to be in harmony.
It didn't mean that in a Yin - attribute formation, the Yang component should be completely eliminated.
If so, the formation would surely be extremely unstable.
In this Yin - attribute formation, all the Yang attributes in the formation needed to be gathered at the eye of the formation to activate it.
As a living person, the little baby was naturally a source of Yang energy. But there were many sources of Yang energy in a person. He had to figure out the source of the Yang energy to know how to solve the problem of this formation.
In the light of the formation, Shen Weixun carefully analyzed the structure of the eye of the formation.
When he saw the faint red halo around the child, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"It's not that complicated."
Shen Weixun silently fixed his gaze on the man with the pure Yang constitution.
The man felt a bit creeped out by his look and silently took a few steps back.
"Ah?"
The man let out a confused sound, as if asking Shen Weixun what he meant.
"Do you mind giving some blood?"
Shen Weixun showed a mysterious smile. His expression was as gentle as the spring breeze, but somehow it made people feel creepy.
Seeing that the man didn't reply, he added, "This may be the only way for us to get out. But don't worry, it will definitely not endanger your life."
"Okay then."
The man nodded with difficulty after a long while.
His sixth sense told him that something bad was about to happen. But as long as his life was not in danger, it didn't seem that important no matter how bad things got.
If they were always trapped in this formation, they would surely lose their lives sooner or later.
"Niannian, give me the knife."
Shen Weixun reached his hand up again.
Hearing that the third senior brother had a way, Niannian this time didn't hesitate at all and took out the knife from her small satchel.
Then, without even thinking, Shen Weixun made a cut on the man's palm.
The bright red blood flowed down in a rush.
He quickly grabbed the man's wrist and held it above the little baby's head.
This baby had no skin.
Blood would ooze out of her at any time, seeping into the soil and destroying the overall system and structure of the formation.
So when those people designed the formation, since they had already planned to use the baby as the eye of the formation from the start, they had to take this factor that would destroy the structure into consideration.
They came up with a workaround.
Normally, when using a living person as the eye of the formation, it was the Yang energy in his body and soul that was used.
But in this case, they used the fresh blood of the little baby.
So no matter how the blood seeped into the soil, as the core of the eye of the formation itself, the structure would not be damaged.
No one among them had a purer soul and blood than the little baby.
Not even Niannian.
After all, they had all grown up eating all kinds of food.
So the only thing that could replace the little baby's blood was the man with the pure Yang constitution.
In terms of the purity of Yang energy in his blood, there was no need to consider other external factors.
So if they wanted to replace the little baby, they would have to trouble this gentleman to keep giving blood.
As long as the little baby was peeled out of the formation and then he stopped bleeding, the formation would collapse on its own.
During this period, the others still had to maintain their original formation to resist the evil ghosts attacking from around.
"Stay still like this."
Shen Weixun patted the man's shoulder. Niannian just stared at the little baby.
But when she saw that the mark of the eye of the formation on the baby's body loosened a little, she suddenly understood.
Ah, so that's what it meant!
It seemed that her observation was not careful enough and her cultivation was not up to the mark.
She had assumed prematurely that they needed to use an entire living person to replace the baby.
"Niannian, you watch them. After the mark is completely peeled off, get the little baby out."
Shen Weixun put Niannian down. Now he could finally feel at ease.
At least he didn't have to worry that the little girl would act on her own and sacrifice herself to replace the little baby's life.
Actually, they could have just killed the child directly.
There were no good people in this village.
If there were any, it would be impossible for them to survive in this dirty village.
After being cursed and turning into monsters, their hearts had also become monstrous.
If this little baby grew up in such an environment, he would sooner or later become one of the monsters.
But the innocent child was blameless.
As a newly - born baby, he didn't understand anything yet.
They couldn't just sentence this child to death because of what the adults had done.
With just this one life, they would help him get out of this strange environment and send him to live in a normal human society. If he still grew up to be bad, then it could only be said that it was in his genes.
Watching the connection between the little baby and the eye of the formation getting weaker and weaker.
The few blood - covered people outside were a bit anxious, but they still didn't dare to step into the formation.
If they became a part of the game, those ghosts would attack without discrimination, and they wouldn't be able to survive in the formation either.
This formation was both a cage for Niannian and the others and a safety barrier.
At this moment, the most taboo thing was to be disturbed.
Those ghosts were easy to deal with. They were just brainless lumps of Yin energy that had been refined and had no ability to think rationally.
It was effortless to fight them.
As time passed by second by second, there was more and more blood on the ground. The face of the man with the pure Yang constitution had turned pale.
His steps were unsteady, and his legs were trembling, but he still held on with a pale face and refused to fall.
"My goodness, how much pig blood and pig liver do I have to eat to make up for this after we get out?"
"Hold on a little longer. It will be over soon."
Shen Weixun knew how uncomfortable the man was, but there was no other way. He could only silently say sorry in his heart.
It was really hard on the man to be bled for such a long time.
Estimated that when the formation was opened later, he might faint immediately.
"Okay, okay!"
Finally, the mark was completely peeled off. Niannian quickly picked up the child, and at the same time, the man stepped back.
In an instant, all the ghostly shadows floating around turned into ashes.
The temperature gradually rose.
