to xiao ci, returning to the crypt, returning to the dangerous place.
it was excited to go to the source of the power of thunder and see the ” food ” that resonated with it.
if he really couldn’t, then he would just run! wasn’t speed its forte?
if it couldn’t escape, didn’t master say that he had a backup plan? it didn’t seem like it was its turn to worry.
big bug was very clear. ever since he had spent more time with humans, his higher intelligence had been put to use and he had grown more fully.
he was no longer the idiot who had trouble communicating with the silver-eyed demon king.
as such, with its master taking care of everything, the lightning blade mantis charged forward with joy. who wasn’t a happy tool mantis?
in its mind, it was a food that was countless times more delicious than the red lightning scorpion.
even though the stench in its body had not completely dissipated and its appetite had been reduced by more than half, it could not stop its obsession.
he really couldn’t wait to see it and then harvest it.
they were full of anticipation!
this also indirectly caused the monsters that were fleeing in panic to suffer.
in the pursuit of speed and efficiency, xiao ci used her lightning blade to open up a path. she slashed at bats, ghostly men, and insects, quickly carving out a bloody path.
during this time, bai wushang drank a rather expensive soul power replenishing potion in advance, then took out a bottle of energy replenishing potion and fed it to xiao ci.
he hoped to recover to his peak condition as much as possible so that he could face all the accidents that might happen.
when they were still a short distance away from the epicenter, bai wushang recalled the lightning blade mantis and released the three-eyed demon ape.
it spread its wings and started to circle around in another direction.
there should be more than one entrance to the cave. he had not expected to be discovered for no reason last time.
this time, he would take advantage of the chaos to approach even more cautiously.
very quickly, bai wushang used his spatial perception to quickly lock onto a suitable passageway.
he passed through the dense warning traps and approached them step by step.
he could feel the irregular but continuous trembling under his feet and around him.
the crackling sound of lightning, human shouts, curses, wild beasts ‘roars, fighting, and even the sound of weapons clashing rang out in his ears. it was like a hodgepodge, a mess.
“it seems that the situation is very complicated ...”
bai wushang calmed down a little. the more chaotic the situation was, the safer his existence would be.
he no longer hesitated and stuck his head out of the small hole, only revealing a small part of his face. he used his right eye to observe quietly.
then, his body stiffened slightly, and his brain almost crashed.
this hole was located in the upper middle part of the cave, close to the top.
therefore, when bai wushang peeked, he was looking down, taking in the entire scene.
at that moment, the visual impact was extremely strong.
because there were too many elements, a large amount of information was transmitted to the brain through the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
they then intertwined and collided, bursting forth with all sorts of emotional fluctuations.
there was a huge golden semi-transparent light shield;
there were golden arcs of lightning dancing wildly;
there was sky-blue frost covering the ground;
there were six to seven terrifying monsters that were moving at high speed and killing each other ...
there was also a woman in a black leather jacket with an extremely cold expression and a purple-hilt tachi in her hand.
shanhai academy year 2, 10th star, demon blade chi jiang lingyi!
“it’s really her!”
bai wushang’s heart stopped for a moment. if all the relevant information in his memories were connected, everything could be explained.
the person who was called ” xiao jie ” and ” ah jie “, the person who looked about the same age as him, the person who recognized the little rabbit and ah zhou.
the original 10th hero of shanhai, iron arhat, song jie!
“is it a vendetta? or was it because his identity as one of the top ten was stolen, so he first flew into a rage out of humiliation, then his anger accumulated into a disaster, and finally planned an ambush?”
bai wushang immediately thought of several schemes and conspiracy theories.
however, he did not continue to think about it. his attention returned to reality and he further evaluated the overall situation.
in his field of vision, the cave was quite large, much larger than the stinky nest.
a large and medium-sized formation with golden lightning was in the center. it was embedded into the ground in a hemisphere shape and took up almost 80% of the space in the cave.
with the lightning formation as the boundary, it divided the inner and outer regions.
in the outside world, the bald young man, the dark-skinned short man, and the short yellow-haired man were the main force. in addition, there were four pets at the peak of the mature stage guarding them.
there were also three people inside. they were jiang lingyue, the grey-haired elder, and a brawny man with a big beard.
however, they only had seven pets. at the moment, they were fighting six against two, surrounding the woman in black and the mutated ice fox.
due to the flashing lights, the formation was not completely transparent.
bai wushang gave them a cursory glance and felt that they were fighting very fiercely. they were all fighting with their lives on the line and jumping around on the edge of death. the scene was extremely tragic.
then his eyes fell on another place, where there was something more attractive to him.
it was a tear on the upper right edge of the thunder attribute array.
the opening wasn’t very big, only two to three meters long and twenty to thirty centimeters wide.
however, the problem was that the main function of this formation was clearly to “seal” and “imprison.”
such a gap, no matter how small it was, was an abnormal existence.
with a little observation, it was not difficult to discover that the core reason for the chaos on the battlefield should be that breach.
the bald young man, song jie, the dark-skinned short man, and the short yellow hair were either gloomy or anxious.
however, they were all standing in a few special positions and throwing items into some kind of stone tablet that was inserted into the ground.
“jie, do you still have thunder elemental crystals? i don’t have enough! give me a few more bags!”
the dark-skinned short man roared, and the roaters on his side rushed out at the same time, charging towards the bald youth and bringing back five or six bags of glowing stones.
he casually picked up a bag and poured it all out. the stone tablet, which had been a little dim, lit up again.
then, without stopping, the dark-skinned, short middle-aged man turned around and took a few quick steps, doing the same thing to another dim stone tablet.
“they’re repairing the formation ...”
bai wushang frowned and didn’t move. the style and effectiveness of a formation were ever-changing, and some people who had reached the master level in their secondary professions could arrange it on the spot by relying on the terrain.
some would break down the formation patterns and imprint them into a special carrier one by one, forming a set of special “formation precious artifacts.”
this set of items that could be used by outsiders was very expensive.
especially when the one in front of him was of the lightning attribute and had such a huge coverage area.
bai wushang estimated that the cost of the equipment alone was comparable to the egg of an ancient species.
in addition, when it was running, the energy substance that was filled in was still an unimaginable waste. every minute and every second was an astonishing expense.
but now, there was clearly a problem with this formation.
the last time bai wushang came close, he could not hear any sounds of fighting.
now, all the roars and sounds of intense battle were coming out of the formation.
also, the sound of the electric arc was very soft.
it was very violent now, especially near the gap. the power of lightning was a little chaotic.
in addition, the entire ground was shaking and rumbling, as if it was an earthquake.
based on bai wushang’s judgment, this level of vibration would not destroy the overall structure of the cave for the time being.
however, in the long run, it was hard to say. it might even cause a collapse at a certain level.
” the previous thunder was probably caused by the destruction of the formation ... ” bai wushang concluded.
this scene was clear at a glance. the three people outside were busy recharging the energy to repair the array while jiang lingyue, who was inside, attacked the gap again and again, trying to escape.
however, the grey-haired old man and the brawny man with the big beard stopped them in every way possible.
