Chapter 1556 - Finding the Formation Cores
Chapter 1556: Finding the Formation Cores
He had employed the powers of Earth Attribute Ethereal Force and had borrowed it’s Earth Force. Every single Sand Sword was boosted to it’s max.
Zing!
Zing!
Zing!
Seconds later, the Sand Swords charged at the zombies like a rain of flying arrows.
Each of these swords were formed by sand, but they were sharper than a sword made of metal. Each one of them were twice as deadly!
The river of quicksand reached the end of the passage, and so did the one million Sand Swords which now covered the entire passage.
All the swords launched into the air, and came raining down like a hailstorm towards the zombies!
Zing! Zing! Zing!
The swords rained down from the sky, and being zombies, they did not know how to dodge. Rendered defenceless, they were all eventually slaughtered.
Basically, each zombie was being attacked by 20 to 30 razor sharp swords. Their brains, chest, stomach, throat and even limbs were skewered as they split into tiny pieces.
In a blink of an eye, dozens of Sand Swords pierced through the body of every single zombie, making them look like porcupines with spines!
From where Chen Xiaobei was standing, the entire area until the end of the tunnel was now a deathly silence. Not a single zombie was able to continue attacking!
“Wow! One strike and the entire army of zombies have been eliminated! Phew! That was fun!” Chen Xiaobei was practically leaping in excitement. “Next, I just need to use my Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes to look for the hidden treasure and break the formation! At the same time, I can also confirm if the item has something do with the Chaos Blood Sword’s evolution.”
Chen Xiaobei activated his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes and bolted towards the end of the passage!
As he was running, Chen Xiaobei collected the sand that had been poured along the way using the Quicksand Gourd, leaving no trace behind.
The Ethereal Force in Chen Xiaobei’s Dantian no longer leaked out.
This indicated that the Ethereal Force replenished by the Zhenwu Ethereal Pill had been completely used up. Right now, all that was left in Chen Xiaobei’s Dantian was his own Ethereal Force.
Luckily, there were still two more Zhenwu Ethereal Pills in his Infinite Space Ring. He could still use them for two more occasions.
He steamed forward all the way.
When he reached the end of the tunnel, there was another giant jade door.
“We’ve already been flagged as intruders. The Orochi Scales are not going to work. So, the method of opening the jade door should have changed too!”
Chen Xiaobei stood in front of the jade door and thought, “The jade door cannot be destroyed because the protective formation provides energy which creates a formless barrier that protects the door! I’ll just need to break the formation, then the jade door will lose the barrier and become a regular door made of jade. Then I shall be able to break it open! But where are the formation cores? It’ll be very troublesome if it’s behind the door.”
Chen Xiaobei focused his attention and began to search the area, not leaving a single corner unchecked.
He made a full circle but found nothing special in particular.
“Could the formation cores be really behind the door?” Chen Xiaobei began to panic. “Even a demigod cannot break open the door. If the formation cores really are behind the door, then this mission is over. The people outside would probably catch up real soon! Then I’ll be stuck in a literal dead end!”
Chen Xiaobei suddenly felt a great danger approaching him.
The racket caused the battle earlier was quite a daunting one. The people of the Anti-Bei Alliance would have probably already re-entered the passage by now.
If they got here finding the the jade door would not open, and instead, standing in front of the door was the Chen Xiaobei that they loathed – one could only imagine the thing that would happen!
The forces would surely surround him and use the most savage way to do away with him.
“F*ck! This really is not a joke! I need to find the formation cores as quickly as possible or I’m dead meat!”
Chen Xiaobei combed the place again, searching every corner with greater scrutiny.
Still, he found nothing after an intense search.
“Damn it! I’m dead this time!” Chen Xiaobei was starting to sweat. He had just defeated the zombie legion with great difficulty and now, he was stuck in a sticky situation.
Ding!
Chen Xiaobei’s phone buzzed. It was Liu Xuanxin texting him.
Liu Xuanxin: Xiaobei! Are you alright? There were fighting noises coming from the passage just now, and now it’s gone quiet. Are you alright?
Chen Xiaobei: I’m fine but don’t tell anyone!
Liu Xuanxin: That’s great! That’s great! I knew it! You’re the best! You’ll always be fine!
Chen Xiaobei: Don’t get too excited. They can’t know that I’m alive!
Liu Xuanxin: Don’t wory! I’m wearing a mask, so no one can see my expression! I won’t let your enemies know!
Chen Xiaobei: Mm, good. Follow your Sifu closely, and take care of yourself!”
Liu Xuanxin: I know what to do! By the way, the passage has been quiet for some time now. The group is getting ready to re-enter! You better hide. You must not let your enemies see you!
Chen Xiaobei: Understood! I got to go! I cannot delay anymore!
After he sent the last message, Chen Xiaobei quickly put his phone away.
The enemies were already on the move. If he did not find a way to get out and quickly, Chen Xiaobei was going to be in serious trouble!
“Huh?!”
As he was putting his phone away, the noticed something unusual with his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes!
“Wow! Wow! Wow! Hang on!” Chen Xiaobei exclaimed. “Incredible! My Lucky Goddess! I found the formation cores just by texting her! This is unbelievable!”
That’s right! Chen Xiaobei found the location of the formation cores!
Since he was looking down at his phone texting, he spotted something at his feet from the corner of his eyes as he put his phone away!
He had searched the whole place carefully but he had forgotten to search the very place he was standing on!
The very crucial formation core was right underneath his feet! He was standing right on it!
Whoosh!
Chen Xiaobei did not think twice and instantly activated his Chaotic Blood Sword, swinging it down onto the ground beneath him.
After digging about 10 meters deep into the rocks and soil, Chen Xiaobei finally dug out the item!
“A Blood-red orb!”
Chen Xiaobei held up a blood-red pearl, which was extremely smooth and round. It was exactly the same as the one that he found when he was underwater!
The last time, an orb of the same fashion helped his Chaos Blood Sword to level up.
This confirmed that this was indeed the material that helped with the evolution.
“Last time, it took only one orb to level up it.
But now that the Chaos Blood Sword’s rank is higher, I’m afraid one is not going to be enough!” Chen Xiaobei furrowed his brows. “Ah, forget it. I need to open the door first and get away from the enemies behind me!”
