Jiang Wang, who had left a step earlier, did not know that White Elephant King had only given Yu Siqing half an hour.

Considering only his breakthrough and Yu Siqing’s defense, time was actually on his side.

But Yu Siqing also did not know that Jiang Wang had no means of cross-region communication, nor had he broken through the Sea Race’s communication blockade and successfully called for help. In Yu Siqing’s view, human reinforcements from other areas would arrive at any time, so he had to seize the time.

This created a situation where both sides were extremely anxious. Jiang Wang wanted to break out quickly, while Yu Siqing wanted to quickly complete the search and kill.

They had not known each other before and had never come into contact.

But at this moment in the Maze Realm, because of their respective origins and positions, they became absolutely opposing forces. One broke through, one defended. One hid, one searched.

But the anxious Jiang Wang, after startling the snake, quickly retreated and cautiously lurked. It was as if he was not at all anxious to break out and could hide until the end of time.

And the anxious Yu Siqing also stayed still in front of the boundary river, as if he didn’t care if the mission would succeed, and could stand there like a stone statue.

The ancient sages said: “One who remains unmoved when Mount Tai collapses before them, and does not blink when a deer appears on their left, can then control advantages and disadvantages and await the enemy.”

Regardless of their strength, just in terms of temperament, both sides already possessed the temperament of a strong person.

The more anxious, the more composed. The more eager, the more self-controlled.

In terms of breaking out and delivering information, considering the cultivators on Floating Island Ding Wei, Fu Yanqing’s means and strength were actually more suitable than Jiang Wang’s, and his chances of success were also greater.

But Jiang Wang was also the target White Elephant King used to please Blood King, and an important chip in his decision whether to continue this war.

If Fu Yanqing escaped, it would not affect White Elephant King’s determination to war. Jiang Wang was different.

So in the end, he appeared here.

And he bore such a heavy responsibility, hiding far away from the boundary river, making no progress at all. This was hard not to make one anxious.

He had already waited for another full fifteen minutes, and waited until at least three teams of Sea Race warriors rushed to the boundary river.

Yu Siqing still did not move.

Not only did he not move, he also did not send out the newly arrived Sea Race warriors.

Too steady, this guy was not just strong.

Before at least five teams of Sea Race arrived at the boundary river, not a single Sea Race warrior in front of the boundary river left.

Jiang Wang risked approaching several times and saw through the Crimson Dress Mirror.

These Sea Race gathered Sea Beasts and sacrificed them on the spot, building a wall of flesh and blood in front of the boundary river!

The wall was covered in blood, full of bone spurs, and in the gaps between the bone spurs, a lot of eyes were hidden.

Jiang Wang did not know what kind of wall this was, but he could clearly see that this wall of flesh and blood was extremely difficult to deal with!

It became thicker, higher, and longer, and later, it directly blocked the entire seven-mile-long boundary river.

As time passed, Yu Siqing did not, as he wished, leave the boundary river to search for him. Instead, he held his ground at the boundary river, constantly strengthening the defensive power in front of the boundary river.

The more Jiang Wang waited, the more distant the hope of breaking out seemed.

If before, when facing Yu Siqing and Shui Yingrong, the possibility of a forced breakthrough was probably only one percent. Then now, with the addition of this wall of flesh and blood, the possibility of a forced breakthrough was completely gone.

Yu Siqing first made himself invincible, and then sought the possibility of victory. Leaving aside fighting strength, such an opponent was also extremely terrifying, and could be called a true strategist.

Jiang Wang suddenly realized that besides continuing to wait, he seemed to have no other way!

And the outcome of waiting…

Floating Island Ding Wei would be destroyed, and the Ding Wei area would become a complete Sea Race area. And he, who was blocked in this area, would be found out sooner or later.

The only hope was probably in the human race’s counterattack. But when would that be, whether he could survive until then, and whether it would definitely succeed?

A difficult situation!

As the main battlefield of the human and Sea races, Jiang Wang had not been in the Maze Realm for long, but had already experienced several life-and-death crises.

No wonder so many strong people died here.

“Will I be one of them?”

The battle with Granny Bizhu and the Blood King’s son were also life-and-death struggles, hanging by a thread. But Jiang Wang was always confident in his victory and never thought he would lose. In the end, it was indeed the opponent who died.

But facing the stalemate when facing Yu Siqing made him couldn’t help but think of this question.

Next year’s Sea Sacrifice Ceremony’s warm wind, I wonder if it can bring back the soul thoughts of the Ding Wei area…

He was unwilling to wait, and did not want to waste even a tiny bit of time.

But he knew very well – he could only wait!

Jiang Wang suppressed his impulse to fight to the death with terrifying willpower. He always waited silently, not making any noise.

After more than a hundred Sea Race warriors gathered in front of the boundary river, and the wall of flesh and blood itself already looked like a terrifying giant beast, Yu Siqing finally made new arrangements.

He began to assign Sea Race squads, team by team, to expand their exploration in all directions.

The positions of these Sea Race warriors were very particular. Jiang Wang could not see more mysteries, but he could judge that this formation was very convenient for mutual contact.

And in each team of Sea Race warriors, there must be one with a piece of red scale-like object attached to the back of their hand.

It was not difficult to judge that this object maintained some kind of communication between the teams.

If he had not been observing through the Crimson Dress Mirror, Jiang Wang would probably not have been able to see so carefully.

And such a “fishing net” woven by Sea Race warriors was thus cast.

With the boundary river as the center, the net was cast in all directions.

Yu Siqing, as the controller of this net, firmly held the overall situation.

But Jiang Wang just waited for this guy to leave.

Compared to the terrifying wall of flesh and blood, Yu Siqing’s 본신 (true body) was more difficult to deal with.

However, as this large net of the Sea Race spread, he had to retreat further, so far that he could no longer observe Yu Siqing through the Crimson Dress Mirror.

In other words, he could no longer judge whether Yu Siqing had left the boundary river to search for him, or where he had appeared.

Facing such a fishing net, he could not use assassination methods to take out a few Sea Race squads, thereby disrupting the opponent’s plan.

Yu Siqing’s arrangements were very meticulous.

This was a gradually expanding, huge net. As long as he touched one point, the other points could quickly react. Killing the Sea Race in pursuit would only weaken the strength of the pursuers for a short time, but it would actually narrow the scope for the other party. In the end, it was not worth it.

He had seen the Sea Race’s hunting tactics once before. That time, facing the Blood King’s son, he also used all his strength to kill a way out. And this time, the opponent was more numerous and stronger.

He thought about it repeatedly, and the only way was to wait until this net expanded to its limit, expanding to the point where the “mesh” could let him through, so that he could pass through it and hide behind the “net” instead.

This was of course a very difficult thing, but he had the Stealth Cloak to hide himself, and the Crimson Dress Mirror which could illuminate a fifty-mile radius and take in the opponent’s movements, thus making such a possibility.

This was a life-and-death crisis, and also a game of chase and escape.

“One who remains unmoved when Mount Tai collapses before them, and does not blink when a deer appears on their left, can then control advantages and disadvantages and await the enemy.”
