My dreams can simulate the future.

Chapter 65 Array Diagram Protects the Ship, Black Blood Mosquitoes

Seeing that the old man had just been acting like a hermit, but was now so smug, Jiang Chen knew he had been rash.

"Senior, that's not fair! This is my first time visiting your Dragon Seeking Pavilion, and you're taking advantage of my lack of experience by quoting me such an exorbitant price."

The old man's smile remained unchanged, even tinged with pride, making him seem no different from a rogue cultivator who had stumbled upon a great bargain.

"The business of array formations is difficult, and unlike alchemy, artifact crafting, and talisman crafting, they don't have a market price. The same array diagram might sell for tens of thousands of spirit stones, or it might sell for a few hundred spirit stones."

"Young friend, you're a talisman master, far more capable of making money than this old man. These three array diagrams can save your life three times."

"Could it be that your life, young friend, is not worth even a few spirit stones?"

Jiang Chen was too lazy to argue with him, so he simply took out the spirit stones and left with the three array diagrams.

After leaving the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion, he cursed inwardly, "That old bastard, just you wait. Next time I come, I'll haggle down to the last penny."

[The second day of the dream]

……

[Day 16 of the Dream]

As before, Jiang Chen boarded the shuttle boat heading to the Golden Cauldron Sect's mountain gate.

Before long, Qinglu Beach came into view in the distance, and the sounds of insects and birds in the surrounding area had completely disappeared.

Everyone sensed something was wrong and took out their magical artifacts, preparing to deal with any possible attack.

Jiang Chen immediately took out the array diagram of the Flood Dragon Dividing Water Array. After unfolding it, there was a token shaped like a command arrow on the array diagram.

He immediately grasped the token, infused it with magical power and divine sense, and in an instant, the array diagram shone brightly.

Countless aquamarine rays surged forth, enveloping the entire shuttle-shaped speedboat and forming an aquamarine barrier.

Above this barrier, there was also a phantom image of a light blue dragon, constantly moving about.

This formation not only has a defensive function, but can also control the phantom of a dragon to attack.

Seeing Jiang Chen's actions, Li Wusheng did not say anything to stop him.

He also sensed that something was wrong with his surroundings, and that there might be hidden dangers.

Soon, the boat entered Qinglu Beach.

Boom!

A jet of water gushed out, striking the stern of the speedboat.

However, the light blue barrier protecting the clipper only trembled violently once before completely neutralizing the power of the water column.

The shuttle boat was completely unaffected and continued heading due north at an extremely high speed.

Li Wusheng drew his sword and looked around: "Who dares to attack the Golden Cauldron Sect's ships?"

If we retreat now, we may still save our lives. But if we dare to attack again, we will kill us without mercy.

Before the words were finished, several more muffled thunderous sounds rang out, and several jets of water shot into the sky around the speedboat.

However, these water jets were blocked by the light blue barrier and had no effect on the Clippers.

After being bombarded repeatedly, the light blue barrier dimmed considerably, and it was estimated that only about half of its original power remained.

Jiang Chen still held two array diagrams in his hand. If the Black Stone Society didn't have any other tricks up their sleeve, the speedboat should be able to break through Qinglu Beach without any problem.

Thump~~

The ship crashed into an invisible barrier and was abruptly stopped.

Jiang Chen and the others were thrown back and forth by the impact. Fortunately, they had cultivation, otherwise they would have been sent flying.

Seeing that the waterway ahead was blocked by the formation, Li Wusheng sneered: "It seems that you bunch of petty thieves are determined to die."

Before he could finish speaking, a dark figure soared into the air; it was the black-clad Foundation Establishment cultivator that Jiang Chen recognized.

He looked down at the shuttle-shaped speedboat below: "I don't want to be enemies with the Golden Cauldron Sect. As long as you hand over Jiang Chen, I can let you leave."

Seeing that the cultivator in front of him could float in mid-air, Li Wusheng knew that he would have a hard time winning, so he summoned the Crimson Thunder Pearl to ask for help.

The black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivators also activated the Mystic Curtain Sky-Covering Array, obscuring the sky.

He then scoffed, "If I could lie in ambush here, how could I not be wary of the methods of your Golden Cauldron Sect?"

I do not wish to be enemies with the Golden Cauldron Sect. As long as you hand over Jiang Chen, I will let you go.

But if you don't know what's good for you, I wouldn't mind slaughtering you all right here.

Without uttering a word, Li Wusheng soared into the air and charged towards the black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Seeing that he was unwilling to hand over Jiang Chen, the black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator sneered, "Truly courting death. Go all out and capture Jiang Chen!"

Before he finished speaking, dozens of men in black emerged from the reeds.

Jiang Chen knew they all carried Heavenly Thunder Pearls, so he naturally wouldn't let them get close to the ship.

He immediately activated the token in his hand, and the azure dragon phantom that had been swimming on the defensive barrier shot out.

With a flick of its tail, the dragon blasted the two men in black at the front into a bloody mist.

Although the power of this Flood Dragon Water Dividing Formation has been nearly half depleted, and it excels at defense but not offense, it is still a mid-grade second-rank formation, and its power is enough to severely injure a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Defeating these Qi Refining cultivators is extremely easy.

The dragon continued to attack, and before the group of men in black could even get close to the shuttle boat, they were all killed.

Then, the black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator activated the killing formation again, and countless silver streams of light appeared out of thin air.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately summoned the Formation-Breaking Pearl.

The array-breaking bead shone brightly, dismantling all the surrounding arrays. Even the dragon-splitting array protecting the warship was destroyed.

With the Xuanmu Heaven-Covering Formation broken, Jiang Chen could have released the Crimson Thunder Pearl to call for help, but he didn't. He was worried that the Foundation Establishment cultivator might act desperately and detonate the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

He shouted, "We can't stay here any longer! The speedboat is continuing north!"

Without the obstruction of the formation, the shuttle boat slowly started moving and headed due north, quickly traveling more than a hundred feet away.

Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief: "We're now out of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl's threat range, at least I'm safe now."

As expected, seeing that the warship was no longer protected by the array, the black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator did not detonate the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

He took out a black gourd, opened its mouth, and a plume of black smoke billowed out.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that the black smoke is formed by the aggregation of countless tiny black insects.

The black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator pointed at the speedboat, and black smoke chased after the shuttle-shaped speedboat at an extremely fast speed.

Li Wusheng tried to stop the black smoke, but was blocked by the Foundation Establishment cultivator in black robes.

Enraged, he rebuked, "You audacious scoundrel, you actually raise black blood mosquitoes!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's heart trembled. The Black Blood Mosquito was infamous in the cultivation world.

This creature loves to feed on the blood of living beings, is highly poisonous, and reproduces extremely quickly.

When they bite living beings, they lay eggs, and the larvae feed on flesh and blood.

Once the larvae have grown, they will emerge from the body and go to find new targets.

Black blood mosquitoes will also devour each other to rapidly improve their cultivation level.

Therefore, it wasn't just ordinary people who died from the bites of the black blood mosquitoes; many cultivators also perished.

Moreover, the black blood mosquitoes that are nurtured by the physical bodies of cultivators are naturally of a higher grade.

Once this thing spreads, it can slaughter all living beings within a radius of thousands of miles.

On second thought, Jiang Chen's mood improved.

"This dream encounter has forced out another trump card from the Black Stone Society, which is a good thing."

At this point, he no longer thought about hiding his talents.

He immediately took out the Crimson Thunder Pearl and threw it straight into the air. A muffled thunderclap sounded, and a crimson light shot into the sky, turning the sky for miles around red.

Upon seeing Crimson Thunder Pearl's plea for help, the experts from the Golden Cauldron Sect should arrive to provide support soon.

However, the swarm of black-blooded mosquitoes continued their relentless pursuit.
