Chapter 707 - 707 The Way to Break the Formation
707 The Way to Break the Formation
“The key, is it the formation inside?”
Lin Mo was a little surprised. This was an unexpected gain. If they found the treasure ground because of this key, they would gain a huge profit.
Furthermore, according to the activation method given by the system, the talisman within the Ghost Expelling Jade was activated.
When they entered the forest, they did not encounter any obstacles.
Countless ghostly figures appeared in the surroundings, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, wanting to charge at him.
However, they were all repelled by the gentle light emitted by the Ghost Expelling Jade and were unable to get close.
“That’s amazing. Brother Lin Mo, are you some kind of treasure cornucopia? You have all kinds of treasures…” said the Qilin happily. Some of these ghostly figures were difficult to deal with, even for her.
Now, Lin Mo was able to deal with them with just a piece of jade. It was too convenient.
“It’s just a coincidence.”
Lin Mo chuckled as the small group went deeper into the forest until they gradually reached the end. They were faced with chaos, as if they had finally reached the end.
“There’s nothing here…” said the Qilin as she looked around, but found nothing.
“Eh, something’s not right. There’s someone in front.”
The small group walked forward and finally came upon a man leaning against a tree at the edge of the chaos.
The area between his eyebrows had turned black, and his soul aura was almost non-existent. This was why Lin Mo and the others had not noticed him at first.
“Hurry… Run!”
As if he had sensed someone approaching, the man turned his head with difficulty. His mouth opened and closed, and he had spat out these two words with difficulty.
“Aowu!”
At this moment, there were ghost howls coming from the distance. The sounds were shrill, causing countless of ghost shadows to rush over.
The ghostly howls sounded like a soul attack. The man leaning against the tree paled, and his soul fluctuations became weaker and weaker.
In fact, even without this attack, he would have been beyond saving, unless he had an immortal medicine.
“You’re Tang Ru’s subordinate?” Lin Mo spoke as he recalled the conversation he had with the young man.
“Alliance… I’m just helping her reach the top after I was defeated,” said the man, with the last bit of his dying breath. His life aura and soul fluctuations then stopped.
“He’s dead…”
The Qilin shook his head. The man’s injuries were too severe, and there was no way to treat them.
“He’s the eldest disciple of the God of War Sect, Lan Hong. He’s a one-in-a-million master in the God of War Sect…” said Feng Tian. He shook his head as he finally recognized the man.
This place was too dangerous. Even Lan Hong was now dead. This man had been even stronger than Fourth Dark General Meng, who had come to the Chamber of Commerce to scheme against Qilin.
“The Ghost Expelling Jade seems to be losing its effect…”
Lin Mo’s expression changed. After such a long time, the light of the Ghost Expelling Jade was getting weaker and weaker, and looked like it was about to be extinguished.
“Prepare for battle.”
“Feng Tian, the three of you, stand beside me,” said Lin Mo as he held the War Demon Spear in his hand.
At the same time, a wisp of black mist appeared around them.
Lin Mo couldn’t feel the energy contained in the black mist, but he knew that it wasn’t a simple one. If he wasn’t careful, he might die.
The black mist gradually took the shape of a human and surrounded them.
Its entire body was pitch-black, and its face could not be seen, except for a pair of scarlet eyes which were the most conspicuous and terrifying.
“Clang!”
Feng Tian was the first to be attacked. The halberd in his hand slashed down, directly splitting the ghostly figure into two.
“But that’s all.”
Killing the enemy with one strike, Feng Tian smiled. It seemed that these ghostly figures were not very strong. However, if they worked together, they would run amok.
However, he soon stopped laughing. The ghostly figure he had just killed turned into black mist.
In just a few breaths’ time, the black mist regrouped and turned into a ghostly figure again.
Moreover, unlike before, the phantom seemed to have evolved, and a layer of pitch-black armor appeared on its body.
Its defense power increased greatly, and it roared as it continued to charge at Feng Tian.
The light of the Ghost Expelling Jade had already dimmed, and it could not stop the ghostly shadow at all. Feng Tian was forced to make a move.
The halberd in his hand slashed out once more with even greater force, killing the ghostly shadow once more.
At the same time, Feng Tian didn’t stop. He continued to attack, almost cutting the ghostly shadow into pieces.
However, the same thing happened. After several breaths, the ghostly figure reappeared again. The armor on its body had special patterns and was even harder.
This time, its attack power had also become stronger, and it didn’t bother to defend itself at all, trading injury for injury with Feng Tian.
Feng Tian used his martial arts and once again shattered it, but he could not do anything to the black mist…
“Let me do it.”
Nirvana Phoenix Fire! Mao Zhu went to help and threw out a flame. The Nirvana Phoenix Fire was one of the top flames in the world.
The moment the black mist touched it, it was immediately burned to ashes by the flames.
“Ji Ji…”
The shrill screams echoed through the forest as the countless ghosts glared at Mao Zhu with their scarlet eyes. In the next moment, they attacked at the same time, and their target was none other than Mao Zhu.
“They’re afraid of fire, so you should use the Phoenix Fire.”
After some observation, Lin Mo had discovered some clues and asked Song Lianxue and Mao Zhu to attack. As the two of them worked together, flames filled the sky.
The nearby forest was set on fire, and the black mist evaporated as screams could be heard.
They were like vengeful souls that had been burned to death by the flames.
“Why do I feel like I’m going to hell…”
Lin Mo mumbled. This was too strange. What exactly were these ghostly figures? They were so difficult to kill and they continued to keep coming back.
Moreover, it had a strong adaptability and could evolve according to its attacks…
“A big fellow is coming…” reminded the Qilin.
In the black mist in the distance, a big guy was being conceived.
A ghostly figure that was ten meters tall materialized and absorbed the black mist. With a stomp of its foot, the earth trembled and the mountains shook.
What was even more shocking was that there was a layer of black ice armor on his body. It was also surrounded by black gas, which could resist the attack of Phoenix Fire.
“How could this be?”
Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue were both shocked. What kind of monsters were they?
The battle had only just begun, yet the other party was already able to resist the Phoenix Fire.
If they were able to fight for a long time, wouldn’t that mean they were invincible?
“That’s not right. That armor can’t withstand the Phoenix Fire, but its strength is able to resist and suppress it…”
“Let’s go!” Lin Mo said. He then attacked together with the Qilin. The War Demon Spear and Chaos Bell were used, and the terrifying power destroyed everything in an instant.
The black mist was strange and could avoid a lot of damage.
However, as long as one had enough power, it could not be easily avoided.
All the ghostly figures were destroyed, and even the surrounding black mist dissipated.
The chaotic region in front of him was also affected. Lin Mo then saw that there were formation patterns inside. This was a powerful formation.
“We… We seem to have walked into a terrifying formation…”
If that was the case, it was understandable why the black mist was so strange.
With the support of the formation, the corresponding ability would be evolved.
It was hard to imagine what kind of formation they were facing to be able to do this.
“But, none of us are proficient in formations…”
The Qilin pointed out the key issue. None of the five people present cultivated formations. So even though they had occasionally touched on it, it was essentially useless.
“Help me delay for a while. I’ll go in and take a look…”
Lin Mo was deep in thought. The Ghost Expelling Jade in his hand seemed to be able to dispel the formation.
But the system didn’t mention how he could unlock it, and he didn’t know how to…
The only thing he could do now was to try to find the formation core. That way, he would still have a chance.
If he really couldn’t do it, the only thing he could do was to take everyone and leave.
“But…” The Qilin wanted to speak, but Lin Mo did not give it the chance to.
