Traveling in such a formation would pose a lot of problems for their defense.

The chains appeared too suddenly for them to realize what was happening. Common Kobold warriors wouldn’t even be able to react to it. Even if they did, they could do nothing about it. In the end, they would all get caught by the chains, dragging them into the fog, and they would completely disappear.

The rattle of the chains filled the entire place.

Countless chains then appeared from the fog on both sides of the passage again, wrapping themselves around the Kobolds’ heads. No matter how much they struggled, they couldn’t get rid of the chains.

“Ah! No! Help me!”

“I don’t want to go in there! Let go of me!”

“Argh! I can’t cut these chains!”

In almost an instant, the Kobolds in the front had disappeared.

The event was terrifying enough for everyone to be wary of the chains that could come out of the fog at any time. Under such a threat, the army could not advance.

No one knew when or where the chains would strike again or who the targets would be.

The moment the chains appeared, hundreds, or even thousands, would perish.

The sound of the chains being dragged on the group was like the music of the devils, which inflicted fear on their hearts.

“Attack! Aim into the fog!” Gou Xiaotian glared as he roared angrily.

He did not anticipate they would encounter a new problem as soon as they’d taken care of the illusions. The chains had appeared out of nowhere and without any warning. There was no way they could prepare themselves for that. The only thing they could do was launch attacks into the fog. He was confident that the people or beings inside the fog could defend themselves and attack at the same time.

The Kobold warriors didn’t even need to be reminded of that. They reacted the moment the first wave of attacks from the chains had ended. As their lives were on the line, not a single one of them dared to slack off.

They waved the weapons in their hands, attacking and deflecting the chains that came out of the fog. Some would even grab the chains and pull or use Dou Qi to counter the attacks.

Another group of Kobolds would aim their attacks into the fog, hoping that it could stall whatever was inside.

However, a large number of Kobolds would still get dragged into the fog despite having their bodies covered in Dou Qi. The Dou Qi was ineffective against the chains. The thunderlight on the chains would stun the Kobolds, rendering them unable to defend themselves, and they would eventually perish.

A loud clash between metals could be heard when Gou Xiaotian deflected a chain that was aimed at him with his sickle.

His attack was so fast that it cut down the chain like an illusion.

The clear sound of the chain breaking echoed as it fell to the floor. Then, with a loud boom, it shattered into pieces and turned into a ray of thunderlight before disappearing.

“This is not a chain made out of metal! It’s made by condensing energy! Just like how divine spells could create things!”

Gou Xiaotian had finally confirmed the true nature of the chains. The chains were not a divine weapon but a divine spell made through a unique way of condensation. However, its effect was on par with divine weapons and was even sturdier than real metals.

Gou Xiaotian waved his death sickle again, shooting a ray of black light into the fog. All of the chains that were in the light’s way shattered.

Finally, he heard the sound of flesh being cut coming out of the fog before seeing a glimpse of blood.

“As I thought! The human army is hiding inside the fog!” Gou Xiaotian smirked, believing that he had seen through the enemy’s formation and trick.

It was clear to him that his attack had landed on the forehead of a human warrior. Both the blood and the painful groan were proof of that.

That confirmed for him that the human army was hiding inside the fog and that the chains were most likely the humans’ doing.

“Those despicable humans! I know it! I’ll slaughter all of you!” a powerful Kobold guardian roared as he waved his sword and charged into the fog.

However, he was welcomed by countless chains that instantly wrapped themselves around his arms and legs, restricting all of his movements.

A second later, the chains were pulled in different directions. The Kobold powerhouse was instantly torn into pieces. His head, arms, and legs were all separated from his body.

“Do not approach the fog!” Gou Xiaotian immediately stopped the rest of the powerhouses that were about to charge into the fog.

As they could not enter the fog, the Kobolds decided to throw their weapon into it with all their might.

Unfortunately for them, the fog was like an endless abyss that sucked in all of their weapons. Even after countless weapons were thrown in, not a single drop of blood could be seen.

It was as if there was no human army lurking inside the fog.

On the other hand, the chains continued to strike from deep within the fog. They weren’t affected in the slightest. But a small mistake would cost them their lives.

“Forget about the chains! We’ll charge out of this place! Follow me!” Gou Xiaotian roared after making a decision.

Since they weren’t able to defend themselves against the attack, he decided that the best course of action would be to run out of the passage to minimize their losses.

He was the first to run at full speed toward the exit of the passage.

There was an important place inside the battle array. It was a vast, empty land where a lot of human warriors were guarding the center of it.

That was the only place where there was no fog, and Li Xiang was in the middle of it.

The place was known as the array core.

The only way to break the array was to reach the core and destroy it. Either that or the people trapped inside the array would eventually all perish. That was the most terrifying aspect of the Eight Trigrams Demon Array. One would never be able to escape unless one destroyed the core.

To Gou Xiaotian and the Kobolds, it would seem they were running in a straight line, but to Li Xiang and the rest in the array core, they could clearly see that the array was a maze.

It was a maze that was made out of illusion based on the eight trigrams. There were all sorts of traps and countless routes to choose from, and all of those were hidden by the fog. So even if Gou Xiaotian were to stumble upon the array core by chance, he would never realize that it was the core and that destroying it could get them out of the array.

If they were lucky enough, the Kobolds could find the only passage that led to the core. However, if they weren’t, they would just end up at a dead end. Even if they managed to reach the end of the passage, they would only start from the beginning and stumble into another random passage. Even if they managed to find the core, they would be welcomed by Li Xiang and a group of powerhouses from the Kingdom of Dawn.

Not only was the chance of them finding the right passage extremely low, but all other routes had traps lying in wait too. With the number of dangers that lurked inside the maze, it would be a wonder if they could reach the core.
