Corpse Recovery Diver

Forget it, let's keep it. Consider it a way to stabilize her thoughts. You have to give people the impression that everything is under control so they're willing to keep playing with you.

The night gradually deepened.

Xu Yijin yawned, put down her teacup, and said:

"No more tea, I'm sleepy."

The implication was that she's given them enough time, and they could start.

Li Zhiyuan pushed open the door and came out, looking at the woman opposite, he said:

"Thank you."

Xu Yijin shook her head: "Same to you, no need to thank."

While giving you time to prepare, I was also observing you. No one truly suffered a loss.

Li Zhiyuan's gaze turned to the front house.

Originally, controlling the Array Eye remotely by waving the array flag was all that was needed, but now Tan Wenbin had to personally take the array flag, run over, and insert it into the Array Eye's position.

The array was activated, isolating Brother Pang Jin's family in the front house from the outside world.

Xu Yijin: "Very nice array, did you make improvements?"

Li Zhiyuan nodded: "Read it in books at home and just remembered it. There are many such books underground at home."

Xu Yijin sighed with emotion: "Luxurious."

Li Zhiyuan asked: "Don't you have any at home?"

Xu Yijin: "A little, but not many. My family's reputation depends on me."

Li Zhiyuan pointed at the ground, then at the outside: "Let's not fight here; it'd be a shame to damage this guesthouse. Outside, it's all farmland, spacious, and if we damage the crops, we can compensate financially."

Xu Yijin nodded, her body bounced, and with the tip of her toes, she skipped over the guesthouse.

Run Sheng squatted down, picked up Xiao Yuan, and then leapt forward.

Yin Meng used a whip to swing herself out.

Lin Shuyou was already agile and darted out quickly.

It wasn't until everyone landed in the fields that Tan Wenbin ran over, taking a longer path by climbing over walls.

No choice, the front house had been isolated with the array, and the front door couldn't be used, so he had to run a bit more.

While panting slightly, Tan Wenbin glared at Lin Shuyou.

What a clueless guy, not even thinking to bring him along.

But remembering that Ah You's personality had changed with his face unveiled, Tan Wenbin couldn't really get angry.

Xu Yijin stood in the center of the field, hands behind her back.

She appeared confident and carefree.

But Li Zhiyuan noticed many small holes around Xu Yijin, and he could hear the sound of movement from underground ahead.

It seemed like many tiny things were burrowing underground.

Using his hearing to locate and forming a sound volume map in his mind, she was... arranging an array.

This woman wasn't as straightforward as she seemed on the surface.

After arriving here, she placed ceramic golems underground and secretly set up the array.

To be able to arrange arrays in this manner proved she had advanced proficiency in array formations.

Luckily, he didn't try to be clever and set up a low-level linked array in advance. Such tricks wouldn't fool her eyes and would only prematurely expose his true capabilities.

Li Zhiyuan said: "I'll ask you one last time, can you let us go and find another shield?"

Xu Yijin tilted her head slightly and replied: "This is your fate."

Li Zhiyuan sighed and said: "We'll give it our all."

Xu Yijin: "I'll make you accept your fate."

Previously claiming to have drunk enough tea, Xu Yijin was now actively engaging in this verbal sparring.

She was buying more time to properly set up the array below.

Li Zhiyuan, on the other hand, was deliberately giving her the chance. Being unable to set up in advance, he'd wait for her to finish and then reverse her setup for his own use—it was the same result.

"Aren't you curious about whose family I'm from?"

The corner of Li Zhiyuan's right eye was already tinged red. He had successfully interfered with a ceramic golem underground. From its shape, it looked like a ceramic doll.

It should have been placed on a table for people to admire and play with, but now it was doing the work of a mole, burrowing holes.

Li Zhiyuan didn't dare to impose complete control over it, as it would surely alert her. He just slightly influenced it to leave some minute, almost unnoticeable flaws in the array path. These were his backdoors.

The boy's forehead was already beaded with sweat, his eyelids drooped, and his nose itched as if a nosebleed would flow soon.

Li Zhiyuan fully engaged his mind.

This state, usually appearing during battles, was now being used by him as preparation before the fight.

In the first instant of action, he would seize control of all the ceramic dolls underground and the other golems she might use at the fastest speed.

Your crafted golems and arranged arrays would for a brief moment belong to me.

Xu Yijin had already finished setting up the first layer of the array. Next, she could fight at ease and continue arranging setups.

"So, how much longer do you plan to wait?"

Li Zhiyuan thought: Wasn't I waiting for you?

Even now, disregarding my stance as a participant, Li Zhiyuan didn't think Xu Yijin had done anything wrong.

If I were in her position, I might also choose to find a shield.

Her mistake was in choosing the wrong target.

Endowed with special favor from the Heavenly Dao, every step leading to today wasn't purely due to luck.

You're indeed impressive traveling the Jianghu alone, but five fingers can form a solid fist.

Thanks to you, facing Evil in the past, it was indeed rare to encounter such unconstrained, all-out battles.

We'll give it our all,

and you better not fall too easily!

The boy raised his hand, waved it forward, with a hoarse voice said:
