Corpse Recovery Diver

When Li Zhiyuan completed today's sealing, it was already past midnight.

He pushed open the room door and saw Zhao Yi sitting at the entrance, holding a lunchbox.

"Want some?"

The lunchbox contained cold chicken bean jelly on top and Lijiang cake at the bottom.

Even the medicine Zhao Yi gave him was shared with his companions by Li Zhiyuan, so naturally, he wouldn't mind sharing these food items as well.

The two sat in the corridor and started eating.

"Does sealing take this long?"

"The initial seals set by the first two owners were too basic, lacking sufficient progression."

"That's tough."

"It's the last time. Finally, I don't have to deal with it anymore."

"There's something I need your help with."

"You want me to set up a few arrays along the escape route?"

"That's right."

At this moment, Tan Wenbin woke up, supporting himself against the wall as he went outside.

Seeing Zhao Yi, Tan Wenbin said with a smile, "Hello, our unofficial captain."

Li Zhiyuan said, "Your family's Rehmannia Pill works really well."

Zhao Yi: "Of course, our family men start taking it when they come of age."

Tan Wenbin: "Your family men, are they so lacking in confidence?"

"Brother Binbin, perfect timing since you're awake. You take care of them here, while I go help them set up the arrays. I'll talk to you upon my return."

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao Yuan, I'll handle things here."

Tan Wenbin, just awakened, was still very weak and struggled to walk, but the two kids on his shoulders were still full of energy.

Li Zhiyuan stood up, ready to leave, and his ear slightly twitched as he said, "Ah You seems about to wake up too, his breath pattern changed."

Tan Wenbin: "I'll go check on him."

"Okay."

Li Zhiyuan followed Zhao Yi out of the inn, heading towards the escape points they had designed along the way.

During the time of Dragon King Zhao Wuyang, the Zhao family's array skills were quite rough, but after so many years of development and learning, at least the array expertise Zhao Yi presented was no longer to be underestimated.

Moreover, Zhao Yi wasn't setting up arrays for delaying, obstructing, or concealing, they were all kill arrays.

Array stakes were buried deep underground, and once the array was activated, the effects were instant, focusing all efficacy on attack.

This type of array does not need to consider stability or sustainability, so the setup is fast and the materials simple.

Regarding the specifics of the arrays, Li Zhiyuan didn't have much to adjust. He just stood in front of the array, holding the Array Eye Zhao Yi gave him, and started waving his hand, binding the surrounding feng shui elements to the array.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yi widened his eyes directly.

The arrays he set up were filled with craftsmanship, but the young man casually added a stroke, imparting a certain charm.

"Is this... the heritage of the Dragon King family?"

Li Zhiyuan did not refute.

This was actually learned from Wei Zhengdao in his dreams, but as for how he learned it, he couldn't remember.

That forgotten dream was truly strange; obviously, there were no memory traces, yet all the things he needed to learn and useful information were ingrained without omission.

"Why doesn't the array in your inn have this feeling... Oh, you hid it?"

"Yes."

"You are quite ruthless."

"You're just dumb for not noticing."

Zhao Yi looked up at the stars overhead, and let out a dry laugh, "Ha, ha ha."

He was used to it.

But he still couldn't help but ask again out of curiosity, "Since your last name is Li, if you didn't join the Qin and Liu Families but joined my Zhao family, wouldn't my Zhao family then be able to..."

"Then it wouldn't concern you, Zhao Yi."

Zhao Yi's mouth twitched.

"But, that's actually not bad."

"Daylight is coming, stop dreaming."

The arrays Li Zhiyuan helped Zhao Yi set up were individually upgraded, effectively increasing the array's destructive power by twenty percent.

It wasn't a huge improvement, but it held a unique advantage.

Because those pursuing them were not inexperienced; upon realizing they fell into a kill array, they would rely on their knowledge and experience for defense, and this extra twenty percent attack power could easily cause them to make a mistake of relying too heavily on their experience.

After all, in the current environment of fierce competition over broken jade, everyone consciously conserves their energy.

Zhao Yi understood that merely running away with head down was useless; only by killing can you stop killing.

As long as enough people die chasing him, the rest will instinctively go after another piece of broken jade.

Upon returning to the entrance of the inn, Zhao Yi said:

"Well, if after escaping outside for a while, I can't hide anymore, can I come back here... and ask for your protection?"

Li Zhiyuan said nothing.

Zhao Yi continued: "After all, we are partners, right?"

Li Zhiyuan: "If I don't let you come, you wouldn't come?"

Zhao Yi: "When I really can't hold on, I will definitely come looking for you."

Li Zhiyuan took out a stack of manuscript papers from his backpack and handed them to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi took them and leafed through them, eyes widening for the second time that night, asking, "How low do you think of me?"

The originally high-level array skill theory was decomposed by the young man into rigid, awkward little squares.

For Zhao Yi, who also excels in array skills, this was insulting to his scholarly finesse.

But simultaneously, he couldn't help but admire them, because he couldn't manage such thorough processing to simplify complex problems like this.

"There's still some time before that piece of broken jade erupts, you should hurry and, following my diagram, help my array with additions."

The new parts of the arrays also included the integration of the unique abilities of each of the four people Zhao Yi had with him.

Zhao Yi divided the manuscript papers, handed them to his subordinates, and instructed earnestly, "Go make arrangements quickly!"

"Understood!"

"Got it!"
