Chapter 394  : ArrayThe more they climbed up the mountain, the more Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu felt that the demonic qi around them was becoming denser.

“The demonic qi on this mountain is the densest I’ve ever experienced.”

Luo Ningyu’s expression became increasingly solemn.

She had fought with the demons many times and knew very well what it meant for the demonic qi to be so dense.

She looked down at the jade pendant. The jade pendant was dim, and no one had replied to her yet.

“I didn’t feel such dense demon qi even when I was on that altar last time…”

Lin Bai frowned slightly and looked around with sharp eyes.

The closer they got to the mountain, the more they didn’t dare to be careless.

If they were careless, the consequences would be obvious…

“However, we didn’t see any mutated spirit beasts on this mountain.”

Lin Bai had been searching for traces of mutated spirit beasts ever since he started his exploration.

However, they had already reached the belly of the mountain.

Not to mention the traces of spirit beasts, they hadn’t even heard the voices of spirit beasts.

“It’s not just spirit beasts.” Luo Ningyu’s voice was very soft. “It should be said that after we came to this mountain, other than the grass and trees, we haven’t seen a single living creature…”

It was just as Luo Ningyu had said.

The surrounding mountains were so quiet that it was frightening. Their voices seemed to be swallowed by darkness as soon as they were heard. Only the sound of their hurried footsteps echoed in the air.

Lin Bai raised his head and looked at the starry sky above.

It was unknown when the moon and the stars had disappeared. He lowered his head and looked at his five fingers, but he couldn’t see them with the naked eye.

After about fifteen minutes, the two of them slowly arrived at the top of the mountain.

Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu were extremely careful along the way. In addition to constantly searching for suspicious places, they had spent some time.

But they were already certain.

The creatures on this mountain, other than the two of them, had all died in the wilderness.

Along the way, they saw three rare and powerful spiritual beasts, but those three spiritual beasts were already corpses, and their ghastly white bones could be vaguely seen.

Other than that, under a towering tree, they also found dead crows all over the ground.

From this, they could determine that something must have happened on this mountain not too long ago, causing the birds and insects, such weak existences, to instantly die.

This could also explain why the dead crows were all under that towering tree.

And those spirit beasts should have been affected by this mountain bit by bit, eventually exhausting their lives.

Traces of struggle could be seen everywhere on the bodies of these spirit beasts.

“There are no living things. To us, this can be considered good news.” Lin Bai smiled bitterly.

“Oh?!” Luo Ningyu was somewhat puzzled.

“That means that we won’t be ambushed by the things in the dark. We just need to think of a way to escape from here.”

“I hope you didn’t jinx it.” Luo Ningyu rolled her eyes at Lin Bai.

“Look, we’re at the top of the mountain. Is that a flat… platform?”

Lin Bai could see a platform made of marble in front of him with a diameter of two to three hundred meters.

At the outermost edge of the platform, there were red stones that looked like they were dripping with blood.

“Blood jade stone.” Luo Ningyu stretched out a finger and touched it.

“Let’s see if we can destroy this stone.” Lin Bai took out a small cauldron and was about to make a move, but Luo Ningyu stopped him.

“Don’t make a move recklessly. You might be counterattacked by the formation!”

Luo Ningyu shook her head. Her jade-like hand gripped a blood jade stone tightly. Then, she urged her spiritual power to gather at her fingertip.

She controlled her spiritual power perfectly, and the speed at which she pulled the jade stone increased bit by bit.

But in the end, the blood jade stone still didn’t move at all.

The two of them tried some different methods. When Lin Bai was ready to take the risk and hit the jade stone with the small cauldron, a layer of light with ancient patterns instantly covered the jade stone, and the light layer absorbed all the attacks of the small cauldron.

“All the methods that can be used have been used.” Luo Ningyu wiped the sweat on her forehead, her eyes filled with disappointment.

Lin Bai took out two water bags and some jerky. “Why don’t we sit down first? There’s no good way anyway.”

Luo Ningyu hesitated for a moment and nodded. She took the jerky and chewed it silently in her cherry like small mouth. Then she took a sip of water.

Lin Bai threw a few pieces of jerky into his mouth and ate them in big mouthfuls. After gulping down half a sack of water, he let out a long breath.

“I wonder how the convoy is doing?” Luo Ningyu sat on a broken tree stump and looked down the mountain.

“When Qi Long first called us, he definitely didn’t attack the convoy. But after they stopped chasing us, it’s hard to say,” Lin Bai analyzed calmly, “However, my little beasts are also in the convoy. If they want to attack, they will have to pay a price…”

“Cough cough…”

At this moment, a man’s cough sounded in the darkness.

Lin Bai almost stood up, but when he caught a glimpse of the jade pendant on Luo Ningyu’s waist flickering with green light, he sat down again.

“Hey, is our big Miss Luo in trouble?”

A young man’s voice came from the jade pendant.

Lin Bai saw that Luo Ningyu’s brows were tightly furrowed. It was obvious that she did not like the man on the other end of the jade pendant. Her voice was cold as she said, “Yes.”

“Haha, Miss Luo, haven’t you always looked down on people like us who study formations?”

The person on the other end of the jade pendant wanted to mock Luo Ningyu, but when he saw that Luo Ningyu did not reply, he coughed awkwardly:

“Hmph, all things are low-grade, only the array formation is high!

“Today, I will be merciful and help you all!”

Luo Ningyu’s brows tightened.

Lin Bai’s lips twitched. It seemed like the person on the other end of the jade pendant was the act tough king… No wonder Luo Ningyu’s expression turned ugly the moment she heard this voice.

Luo Ningyu simply told the man on the other end of the jade pendant about the situation of the mountain and the details she had found.

The jade pendant was silent for a while.

“This, this mountain is an altar!”

Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu widened their eyes at the same time. Everything that they had just investigated was connected to this altar.

“This is not good, this is not good! The entire mountain is an altar. This method is not something that an ordinary person can do!” The man on the other end of the jade pendant was clearly having a headache.

“Is there any way?” Lin Bai asked.

Luo Ningyu also revealed a hopeful look.

“Haha, you are asking the right person!” Laughter came from the other side of the jade pendant, and the previous headache-like tone disappeared.

Lin Bai clenched his fist, a little wanting to hit him.

Luo Ningyu’s hand that was holding the jade pendant also tightened. She was obviously having the same thoughts as Lin Bai.

“I’ll tell you now. Follow the steps I tell you and you’ll be able to break the array formation on this altar easily. Hahaha, come and thank me when you come out!”

Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu’s eyebrows twitched, but they could only listen to the person on the other end of the jade pendant.

“You guys first…” The person on the other end of the jade pendant began to speak.

Suddenly.

Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu turned their heads at the same time and looked into the darkness of the mountain forest.

A huge, thick voice was heard, wriggling and emitting a deafening roar:

“Roar!!!”
