Chapter 1081: Self-Sacrificial Rescue
On the other side of the golden desert, Lei Yuce and the others were currently gathered before a reddish-brown stone archway.
A series of runes were engraved onto the archway, seven or eight of which were currently flashing with faint, golden light. Inside the archway was a dark red light barrier, bound to which were nine dark golden chains.
Upon close inspection, one would discover that these chains were also riddled with tiny scale-like runes, and they were giving off extremely formidable restrictive power.
"What's the verdict, Fellow Daoist Lei? Can you unravel this Nine Dragon Deity Locking Array or not?" Jin Liu asked with slightly furrowed brows.
Instead of immediately giving a response, Lei Yuce spoke briefly with Wen Zhong in hushed tones, then said, "This Nine Dragon Deity Locking Array has been tampered with by someone, making it more difficult to unravel than otherwise, so I'm going to need some time."
"How long will it take?" Su Anqian asked.
"This array is very complex to begin with, and even with just a single Dragon Scale Chain altered, the difficulty of unraveling the array will increase significantly. At the very least, four of these chains have been tampered with, so by my estimates, it's going to take around two to three days," Lei Yuce replied.
"Two to three days? That's way too long!" Jin Liu exclaimed.
"If you have some other faster way to break the array, then feel free to do so yourself, Fellow Daoist Jin," Wen Zhong said with a displeased expression.
An angry look flashed through Jin Liu's eyes upon hearing this, but he offered no response.
When it came to arrays, his aptitude was very mediocre. Otherwise, he wouldn't have misidentified the Star Palace Standoff Array as the Yin Yang Latch Array earlier. Hence, he was naturally unable to unravel this Nine Dragon Deity Locking Array.
