The one forcefully pressing Zombie Ba back to the ground was the previously recovering Pixiu, which had somehow caught the blue stone that Zombie Ba had been thrown out with. At this moment, Pixiu had also undergone a tremendous transformation, towering over Zombie Ba by a full three levels!
"Law of the Elephant!"
This was a very simple spell, but few could master it. Although it merely involved enlarging one's body, it required an immense amount of magical power as a foundation. Moreover, it needed to be sustained; after all, if one could only enlarge for an instant, it wouldn't be very effective. No wonder Pixiu had taken so long to absorb energy; it had originally planned this from the start!
This decision proved to be immensely helpful, which is why even the nearly vanishing White Dragon excitedly called out to Pixiu with "Uncle!"
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up!" Pixiu gritted its teeth and said, "My magic power is too low; I can't hold on much longer."
"Okay! Right away!" I leaped down from the treetops and ran to Pixiu's side.
Pixiu emanated an aura of Auspiciousness, suppressing the malevolent energy that had been assimilated by Zombie Ba. This allowed Pixiu to use the blue stone to push Zombie Ba back down. However, since Pixiu had not fully recovered yet, it wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!" I no longer had the strength to control the Flying Sword, so the three swords fell directly from above. I ignored them and continued running towards Zombie Ba.
"Dry Earth Formation!" I raised my hand above my head, and the grand formation I had activated began to light up little by little.
"Hurry!" A thin line of blood trickled from the corner of Pixiu's mouth. It was evident that Pixiu was using all its strength, nearly grinding its teeth to dust.
"Hold on, Pixiu! Once this is over, I'll treat you to a feast!" I had no choice; activating the Dry Earth Formation still took time, right? I even made such a bold promise; Pixiu, you must hold on!
"Roar~~~" Upon hearing that I would treat it to a feast, Pixiu burst forth with renewed strength, forcefully pushing Zombie Ba down into the ground. Damn, the power of a foodie truly knows no bounds!
"Almost there, almost there!" Damn it, activating the grand formation alone was indeed too slow!
"Yin Zheng'an! Is that you?" A group of people emerged from the jungle, led by someone carrying a gun—it's Lin Zhao! Haha! My brother arrived just in time! But besides Lin Zhao, there was also a group of people from the Archaeologist team.
Although Lin Zhao and the others did not have any magical power, they could still activate the dry earth branch faster just by standing in the position it represented.
"Stop talking and come over to help! Do you see the points on the ground? Each of you find one and stand on it quickly!" I shouted. If Zombie Ba stood up, I estimated that Lin Zhao and the others would be done for; they would definitely be the first targets of Zombie Ba's attack.
"Why?" Lin Zhao asked while running with his teammates and the Archaeologist team.
"I'll explain later. If you want to live, move faster!" I put all my strength into urging the formation.
"Damn!" At that moment, Pixiu could no longer hold on.
Lin Zhao and the others were almost in position, but Pixiu suddenly collapsed, shrinking into a 'mud dog' shape.
"Roar~" Zombie Ba let out an angry roar as if liberated, pushing itself up.
"Oh my God!" Wu Zhishang from the Archaeologist team had already found his position, but when he saw Zombie Ba move, he instantly turned and ran like a rabbit.
Wu Zhishang's point had already connected, but with his sudden retreat, that point immediately dimmed. In fact, as long as Wu Zhishang didn't run away, the connection of the formation could have been completed before Zombie Ba stood up. But as soon as this guy moved, the formation was delayed.
"Damn!" I cursed under my breath. Fortunately, I still had a backup plan; otherwise, everyone would be doomed because of this guy!
I gestured and summoned the Ebony Hairpin that had been hovering above the Ritual Platform, right where the stone platform was. With a surge of magic power, the Ebony Hairpin shot like a Flying Sword straight into Zombie Ba's heart, directly pinning it down!
"Pixiu! Bing Wu! Jump over!" Bing Wu was the position that Wu Zhishang had just vacated. Pixiu moved quickly and jumped onto the corresponding point!
"Nice!"
Although Pixiu was already very weak, it was still an auspicious divine beast, much more useful than that coward Wu Zhishang. It quickly reignited the previously dim Bing Wu point.
The Ebony Hairpin can only suppress Zombie Ba for three breaths, but with Pixiu's addition, the speed has increased, and it only took two breaths for the formation to solidify.
"Roar~" Once the three breaths were up, Zombie Ba attempted to rise again, but by then the formation was complete. Ha ha, you can't escape now!
"Ah ah ah ah~" Another person fled at the last moment; I glanced over and saw it was Wu Zhishang's uncle, Wu Zhixiang! Hmph, a whole family of cowards!
However, Wu Zhixiang's escape didn't matter much now since the formation was already in place. Chains of golden light, formed from magical energy, emerged from various points of the formation, binding Zombie Ba tightly.
"The formation is complete!" I shouted, connecting all the chains to the blue stone pressed against Zombie Ba's chest by Pixiu.
"Roar!!!" Although Zombie Ba had regained some mobility, it was still suppressed!
"Lin Zhao, retreat!" I commanded again, and Lin Zhao along with those who came to help stepped back.
"Pixiu!" I called out.
"Okay!" Pixiu responded.
"Detonate!" Pixiu and I aimed to explode the Tomb Brick on the Ritual Platform to blow up Zombie Ba.
A line of Taoist Arts energy appeared beneath each of us as we rushed towards the Ritual Platform. Fortunately, both Pixiu and I were standing at a safe distance while Zombie Ba lay on the Ritual Platform. We were lucky; fate was on our side.
One of the Tomb Bricks was ignited by our magical energy, and in the next second, the entire Ritual Platform would explode!
"What are you doing?" At that moment, Wu Zhishang, who had already fled, surprisingly returned: "This Ritual Platform has significant research value. If you destroy it, I will definitely report you for willfully damaging cultural relics."
Are you crazy? The research value of that Zombie Ba is even higher; why don't you go test that?
I let out a cold laugh, ignoring him completely, and directly detonated the Ritual Platform.
"Boom!!!!"
The shockwave from the explosion created wave after wave of sound. I barely managed to stand my ground using my magic, while that classmate, Wu Zhishang, who claimed he wanted to study the Ritual Platform, was sent flying like a pitiful bug, rolling away who knows how far.
I didn't even consider saving him; he was merely blown away by the shockwave and wouldn't die from it. If I saved him, he might just mock me afterward. I have limited energy and can't waste it so casually!
"Ha~"
The strong wind finally began to change. I straightened my disheveled Daoist Robe and turned back to look at Lin Zhao and the others. They were far enough away that they could cling to the trees in the jungle, and no one had been knocked down. I calculated that our only casualty was Wu Zhishang, who ran the fastest and ended up breaking his leg.
I really wanted to drag that guy up and give him a beating. You can't just abandon your companions in a crisis! But that's exactly what he did, almost ruining all the efforts made by me, Pixiu, and White Dragon.
If Zombie Ba had really sat up at that moment, it would have been extremely troublesome since I had already used up most of my trump cards.
Looking at the Ritual Platform, it had completely exploded, but Zombie Ba was still there. Perhaps it was because the detonation point wasn't quite right; half of Zombie Ba's body remained intact.
With only half of Zombie Ba left, it waved its remaining hand and shouted defiantly, but it was useless; it no longer had the ability to stand up. However, looking at the half-destroyed Zombie Ba, I felt relieved. What should we do with this thing now? Bury it? Who knows if burying it underground would cause any unexpected issues? Cook it? Even if someone could get a bite in, they wouldn't be able to chew through it. And don't even think about roasting it; that thing gets stronger when exposed to fire—who knows, maybe while roasting it, a leg would grow out so we could take a few more bites!
Ugh! Who would want to gnaw on that thing!
"Hey, Pixiu, what should we do with this leftover?" A 'mud dog' lay weakly on the ground resting as I walked over to ask.
"Do whatever you want! I'm finally free!" Pixiu really looked like a 'mud dog,' panting with its tongue out.
"So where are you planning to go? Back to the courtyard?"
"Return to the court? Am I looking for death? Back when the court was still part of the demon clan, I could manage there, but ever since you humans achieved Deification, it's been unbearable." Pixiu said irritably, clearly still haunted by his experiences in the court.
"Why?" Isn't Pixiu a divine beast? Don't those immortals love divine beasts? Especially one that can bring wealth.
"They all want to capture me as their mount!" Pixiu huffed.
I couldn't help but laugh. Seeing Pixiu glare at me, I quickly changed the subject, "So you're staying in the human realm then?"
"Let's see. But being in the mortal world also brings Trouble. My strength hasn't recovered yet, and if some powerful demons come to capture me to boost their own strength, that would be a problem. By the way, didn't you promise to treat me to a feast once this was all over? I'll have that meal first."
I thought, "Oh no."
I almost forgot about that. I wonder if I have enough money on me; should I take this guy out for a buffet? He doesn't seem picky about food, but will the buffet's manager call the police? If we end up eating out an entire buffet, that would be a problem because we won't have buffets to eat from soon.
"Yin Zheng'an!" It was Lin Zhao, waving for me to come over.
As I walked towards Lin Zhao, I pondered a serious question.
Can you bring a dog into a buffet restaurant?
