The rocks were flying too quickly!
They were even faster than bullets.
Jiang Ning's reaction was equally fast, so he managed to avoid all the rocks that had come his way, but he was still a little terrified by these rocks.
His body was strong, but if one of these rocks hit him, it would definitely go right through him.
"Run!" shouted Greedy Wolf.
Jiang Ning felt like cursing him.
He would have escaped if he could.
But he ended up cursing anyway when he realized that every single boulder was flying towards him, and none of them were headed for Greedy Wolf.
Had these rocks decided that they only wanted to kill him?!
Jiang Ning had to dodge left and right to avoid the attacks from the boulders, while
Greedy Wolf just stood to the side with a look of surprise on his face.
He thought that these boulders had come alive and was going to kill both of them. But to his surprise, all of them headed straight for Jiang Ning and completely ignored him. He stood there without moving, but not a single rock headed his way.
"Find some way to get out of there!" yelled Greedy Wolf. He became a little gleeful now. "Looks like even these boulders don't like you very much!"
After walking for so long, he finally had his moment of joy in seeing Jiang Ning suffer.
"Think of something!" shouted Jiang Ning. "If I die, you won't be able to find the Longevity Pond!"
The number of rocks coming at him were getting too numerous for him to handle soon. They seemed enough to blot out the sky.
Unlike the black mist earlier, there was no way Jiang Ning could smash these boulders away. These boulders were way too hard, so his fists would probably break if he tried. He couldn't fight these boulders at all.
Jiang Ning had already increased his speed to its maximum as he dodged all the oncoming rocks. But they were coming in denser and denser quantities, so it was getting more and more difficult to dodge them.
"Why are you still standing there?!" he roared when he saw that Greedy Wolf wasn't budging. "Don't you want to find the Longevity Pond?"
Greedy Wolf scoffed. It was true that he felt pretty happy just watching a bunch of rocks attack Jiang Ning like this and he could just continue watching if he wanted to. But he knew that if Jiang Ning died, then he might have trouble leaving this place too.
And he'd never find the Longevity Pond.
He turned to look at the endless stream of boulders. His eyes gleamed and his double pupils appeared again.
That sharp gaze seemed able to see through everything.
He realized that all these boulders seemed to have really come alive. But they were non-living things in the first place, so how could there be any life in them? Or at least, his eyes didn't detect any sign of life in these rocks. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"This is a formation!" yelled Greedy Wolf. "Is there something on yourself that activated this formation?"
He stared at Jiang Ning.
What could have activated this formation?
Jiang Ning had never come in here before, so he didn't have anything that could possibly activate the formation here.
He looked at Greedy Wolf and tried
to think of whether he had anything on him that was different from
Greedy Wolf, but there didn't seem to be any difference.
BAM!
A gigantic rock came flying over and Jiang Ning had no choice but to swing a fist out. The intense impact of the punch smashed the rock to pieces.
But it also sent Jiang Ning a sharp pain.
"That's hard!" exclaimed Jiang Ning.
His fists were so strong that he wouldn't have hesitated even if he was faced with iron and steel. But these rocks were even harder than metal so even though his fists were pretty hard themselves, he could still feel the pain.
"Just tell me how to break this formation!" he yelled.
Greedy Wolf shook his head. "I don't know anything about formations. If I did, I wouldn't need you."
Jiang Ning didn't know what to say now.
This old man could really bear grudges.
But...wait a minute.
A formation?
What about formation lines?
Jiang Ning adjusted his breathing as he watched how the rocks fell and the ever changing projectile of the rocks. His eyes slowly lit up.
"They're really just formation lines," thought Jiang Ning. "This Greedy Wolf is really quite the expert."
He looked towards Greedy Wolf just in time to see Greedy Wolf's polycoria!
