"Sister, quickly come and help your senior brother see, this barrier, for some reason, cannot be repaired!"
The woman in the goose-yellow dress, upon hearing this, immediately abandoned her conversation with Ye Fei. She simply said an apology and headed towards her senior brother's location.
When Ye Fei heard them mention the barrier, he became somewhat interested. He followed the woman's steps and arrived at the position of the shattered barrier.
"Sister, quickly, come and help your senior brother. Your second senior brother and I have been at it for so long, and for some reason, this barrier still has a gap!"
"Do you know what's going on?"
The eldest senior brother, dressed in black with handsome features, now wore a look of worry on his face.
As for the second senior brother, he quietly continued his calculations, trying to find an answer.
However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he still couldn't figure out the reason.
"Senior brother, don't worry. Three cobblers with their wits combined equal a Zhuge Liang. We will definitely find a way!"
The woman in the goose-yellow dress comforted him.
As for Ye Fei, he remained silent throughout. All his thoughts were now focused on the barrier.
It must be said that the person who set up the barrier had extremely skillful techniques.
It could be called perfect.
However, as time passed, the barrier inevitably developed some problems.
Ye Fei immediately spotted the issue but did not speak out.
"Senior brother, this fellow daoist just helped me out of a difficult situation. If he hadn't appeared, your junior sister would have been seriously injured today!"
The eldest senior brother was also a grateful person. If his junior sister hadn't tried her best to stop him earlier, he would have long given up on repairing the barrier and rushed out to help his junior sister.
"Thank you, fellow daoist, for saving my junior sister from a dire predicament!"
"I am immensely grateful!"
"If you ever need help in the future, fellow daoist, feel free to come to the Wusheng Sect and find me!"
The eldest senior brother cupped his hands.
Despite this, Ye Fei did not take it to heart. After all, he had come here to slay the Flying Iron Ox. In the end, he was the one who benefited.
The eldest senior brother had also been observing Ye Fei. Seeing his normal expression, he secretly nodded.
This young man's future was bound to be limitless.
"Eldest senior brother, I've been calculating just now, and I still don't know what's wrong with the diagram we drew for repairing this barrier."
"It seems we can only go back and seek Master's help."
Upon saying this, even the second senior brother, who was still calculating, looked dejected.
After all, before they set off, they had confidently declared that they would succeed. They had never expected to encounter such a major difficulty right at the beginning.
It was truly disheartening.
The atmosphere became very heavy.
Ye Fei glanced at the three of them and then said casually.
"I happen to have some insight into formations and barriers. I know where the problem lies!"
The three who were previously silent did not react much, thinking Ye Fei was joking to lighten the mood.
"Fellow daoist, please don't joke. Thank you for your good intentions."
"However, I saw your combat ability was very impressive just now. You must be a sword cultivator, right?"
The woman in the goose-yellow dress whispered.
"I've learned a variety of things, I know a little bit of everything."
"Since you have no ideas right now anyway, why not listen to me for a moment."
Ye Fei said calmly.
The three of them then began to take Ye Fei seriously, their eyes fixed on him, waiting for him to speak.
"The only mistake you made is in this last step."
As he spoke, the three of them drew closer to Ye Fei. Especially as Ye Fei eloquently explained the method of arranging the barrier, the three of them became like dry sponges, greedily absorbing moisture.
In the end, the three of them showed expressions of sudden realization.
"Do you understand?"
Ye Fei looked up and asked.
The three of them now admired Ye Fei immensely.
Their gazes were burning with intensity.
"Alright, if that's the case, then quickly repair this barrier so we can leave this place as soon as possible!"
Seeing their hungry gazes, Ye Fei couldn't help but shiver.
Only when they refocused their attention on the damaged barrier did he heave a sigh of relief.
With Ye Fei's explanation just now, the three of them had a sudden epiphany, and soon the severely damaged barrier was reconnected by their combined efforts.
"That's great, it's finally repaired!"
The woman in the goose-yellow dress exclaimed with joy.
"Fellow daoist, thank you!"
The two, including the eldest senior brother, sincerely thanked Ye Fei.
The group exchanged names.
Only then did Ye Fei learn that they were from the Wusheng Sect.
The Wusheng Sect was a sect that cultivated formations.
These three were direct disciples of the Sect Master of the Wusheng Sect.
"Fellow daoist, I have another presumptuous request. I wonder if you would be willing to travel with us for the next two days?"
To ensure the success of this mission, the woman in the goose-yellow dress, named Mei Qing, asked hesitantly.
Ye Fei did not refuse immediately but replied tactfully.
"Miss Mei, to be honest, I am a disciple participating in the Xuan Tian Sword Sect's freshman assessment. I am here to slay the Flying Iron Ox."
"I must slay more than five Flying Iron Oxen to complete this mission, and my goal is to secure the first place!"
Unexpectedly, when Mei Qing heard Ye Fei's words, she became excited.
"Then have you seen a woman dressed in combat attire, exuding a very cold aura?"
Ye Fei instinctively thought of the woman who had competed with him for first place.
He nodded.
"That is my best friend!"
Mei Qing said with pride.
After a moment of surprise, the topic was dropped.
Finally, Ye Fei bid farewell to the three of them and embarked on his journey to slay demonic beasts alone.
By the next day, Ye Fei had already slain over twenty Flying Iron Oxen.
As he continued to busy himself with harvesting Flying Iron Oxen, a faint, dizzying aura reached Ye Fei's nostrils.
After a brief assessment, Ye Fei realized that the scent could cause a loss of consciousness.
Thinking for a moment, Ye Fei directly took a Qing Xin Pill and headed towards the source of the scent.
At this moment, within a dense forest ahead, many disciples participating in the freshman assessment were hiding in a cave.
Unfortunately, quite a few of them were already close to fainting, in a daze.
Even more dangerously, there were quite a few demonic beasts guarding the outside.
The two sides were in a standoff.
"What do we do? We're surrounded by these demonic beasts!"
A hoarse voice rang out.
"Is there no way for us to escape?"
"So many people, and no one has a solution?"
"Think of a way quickly, I don't want to die here!"
These prodigies, who had always been well protected, were now facing such a critical situation for the first time, and they instantly fell into a panic.
