At this moment, in the command room of the Southwest Garrison District, Shi Qingsong and Chen Wenshan witnessed everything through the live feed, both amazed.
Chen Wenshan incredulously asked how Lin Beichen accomplished it, while Shi Qingsong shared his previous experiences with Lin Beichen's superpowers.
Meanwhile, Old Cat and his mercenaries lay in ambush across the minefield, waiting for the sound of explosions.
However, after waiting a long time, the expected explosions never came.
As they were puzzled, explosions suddenly erupted behind them.
Old Cat thought the Huaxia soldiers had taken the bait and gleefully went to check, only to witness a shocking scene.
Suddenly, a whirlwind of sand and dust rose from the seemingly ordinary stone formation, obscuring visibility.
Next, dark veins faintly appeared between the stones, linking them together like ancient talismans, outlining a mysterious array diagram.
"Oh my God, what's happening?" someone exclaimed.
"How can this Eight Array Diagram generate wind on its own?" another person questioned, looking around and noticing the surrounding trees were utterly still.
"Could this Eight Array Diagram indeed transform on its own, as legend has it?" a voice filled with doubt echoed in the air.
The members of the Wolf King Special Team witnessed all of this, their eyes full of disbelief.
They never expected such an unremarkable stone formation could display such bizarre phenomena.
Meanwhile, the members of the Venomous Snake Special Team, though prepared, couldn't help but show shock.
Lin Beichen watched their reactions, chuckled slightly, and calmly said, "This is just the beginning. Wait until those mercenaries step in, there's more excitement waiting for them."
"Then what should we do next?" Xia Luyao looked at Lin Beichen, inquiring about the plan ahead.
Lin Beichen smiled faintly and said composedly, "We just need to retreat and wait for them to walk into the trap themselves."
After saying this, the two special teams retreated in an orderly manner.
Not far away, a group of mercenaries lay hidden in thick bushes, holding their breath, and staring ahead.
"Jason, what's going on? Why haven't they moved?" a mercenary whispered through the communication earpiece.
The mercenary called Jason frowned deeply, his gaze fixed ahead like a sharp blade.
"Not sure, did they escape?"
They had been lying in ambush here for a long time, only waiting for the opponents to make a move to attack.
However, as time ticked by, the special forces showed no signs of movement, making them anxious and uneasy.
"This isn't the way, we better take the initiative to explore," another mercenary known as Bat suggested.
"No, they're special forces, we can't act recklessly," Jason immediately countered, not confident of winning against the special forces head-on.
"Afraid of what? They have no live ammunition now, they're not our match," Bat responded dismissively.
Upon hearing this, Jason and the others hesitated momentarily, thinking Bat made a valid point.
Thus, they decided to move forward to investigate.
More than a dozen mercenaries cautiously advanced.
Suddenly, they spotted figures of the two special teams' members ahead.
"There they are!" Jason exclaimed, and immediately everyone raised their guns to shoot.
But to their astonishment, none of the bullets hit the target.
The bullets seemed to vanish into endless void, without even a trace of echo.
"Damn it! How didn't a single shot hit?"
Jason cursed angrily, then signaled everyone to charge.
But just as they took a few steps, the surrounding scene suddenly changed dramatically.
"What's happening? Everything around us has changed!" someone cried out in panic.
They seemed to be in a massive whirl of sand and wind, surrounded by chaos.
Even the battle-hardened mercenaries felt unprecedented fear and confusion.
They tried to retreat but found they couldn't find the way back.
"How can this be? We just took a couple of steps, why can't we go back?"
Bat yelled anxiously, but it was in vain.
They attempted to step back ten steps, twenty steps, but the scene before them remained unchanged...
"Did we really encounter something supernatural?" a mercenary uttered, his voice trembling.
Suddenly, Jason remembered something and exclaimed, "I know! We might have fallen into an ancient Eastern array!"
He had been interested in Huaxia's ancient culture and read related books; the situation they faced resembled descriptions from those books.
"I read in a book from Huaxia, 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' about an Eastern Wizard named Zhuge Liang who could trap enemy troops with stones so they couldn't escape! Now our situation matches the book description exactly!"
Everyone exchanged glances, deeply shocked and awed by the mystery and profundity of Huaxia culture...
"How would I know these?" Jason showed a helpless expression. Huaxia's ancient formations are all unfathomable and perplexing.
He only knew a few things from books; how to break them, perhaps only those legendary Eastern sages could know.
They tried various escape methods but felt trapped in an inescapable maze, unable to find the exit.
At this moment, Lin Beichen and others quietly stood outside the array, watching the mercenaries like headless flies bumping around inside, oblivious to everything outside.
