Chapter 350: Underground Trap, Trapping Formation

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

What appeared in front of Dick and the others was a huge karst cave.

The height and width of the karst cave were more than 300 meters. The long continuous stretch could not be detected with soul power. The passageway was exceedingly tortuous. It was like a giant maze!

The most surprising thing was that this huge space did not seem to be man-made, but was natural!!

However, the few of them did not pay much attention to the strange terrain. They subconsciously looked southeast.

After passing through the energy barrier used to block detection, their previously severely disturbed soul sense had mostly recovered. The nine of them could sense that the powerful energy aura was mixed with the aura of a sacred tool. It must be the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale.

Under the cover of Dick’s gourd, the group continued to fly silently southeast.

Soon, the path ahead was blocked by an energy barrier.

The few of them looked at each other and nodded gently. They no longer kept a low profile and exploded with magical power in unison, bombarding the energy barrier with several magical attacks!!

“Boom!”

Amidst the earth-shaking rumble that penetrated clouds and cracked rocks, the entire space was trembling. A large portion of the cave wall in front of them collapsed… Under the combined attack of a group of Great Archmagi, the energy barrier instantly shattered!!

After the barrier of the magic formation had shattered, their spiritual senses were no longer obstructed. They immediately probed the situation ahead.

In front of them was a huge space more than ten times larger than the space they had seen earlier. The natural energy inside was so dense that it was almost condensing into a liquid that dripped down. In the center of the empty space, there were more than ten Great Archmagi forming a special magic formation.

In the middle of the magic formation, someone was controlling the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale in front of him to extract an indescribably special energy from the depths of the ground!

Dick and the others did not know what these people were doing. However, they could not be pleased with the enemy who had snatched the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale.

After confirming that they were enemies and not friends, Lenny and the others did not hesitate or waste their breath. The moment they broke through the energy barrier, they quickly rushed in, used magical power, and attacked the enemy!

After charging into this empty space, the eight people except Dick were all attacking the enemy. Dick did not look at the dozen or so enemies who were forming the formation. Instead, he carefully checked the surroundings with a grave expression.

The moment he rushed in, the ominous feeling in Dick’s heart suddenly rose from within. He could not explain it clearly, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.

Boom! Boom! The moment the lightning and flint collided, the attack magical power of Lenny and the others landed on those enemies!

Buzz! At the same time, something unexpected happened in the empty area!

Dick, who had been paying attention to his surroundings, had a dark look in his eyes. The magical power in his body instantly erupted. He waved his hand to draw out the Sun-Devouring Flame and charged directly at the way he had come!

Boom! After being hit with a loud bang, this energy barrier actually blocked the flame’s momentum!!

The flame directly stuck to the barrier and exploded. It then burned the energy barrier in the form of a sea of golden flames. The barrier flickered and trembled, but quickly stabilized. This magical barrier, which had just appeared, was actually not breached by the Sun-Devouring Flame!!

At the same time, Lenny and the others were shocked. They exclaimed, “No! We’ve been tricked!!”

The spot where the few of them had attacked earlier was actually empty… All their attacks had missed!!

These… were all illusions!!

This illusion was so powerful that it instantly blinded all their senses!

Everyone had thought that they would join forces to break through the barrier ahead and attack the enemy, but they had not expected that they would step into the enemy’s trap!

It was equivalent to saying that the concealment power of Dick’s intermediate sacred tool, the gourd, had been seen through by the enemy! And this magic formation, not only had it deceived the soul sense of their group, the trapping formation barrier it had formed had even withstood Dick’s Strange Sacred Flame attack!

Dick’s expression darkened. His gaze landed outside the magic formation opposite him, where a figure had appeared out of thin air.

Before that person made his move, Dick had not sensed his existence at all, and the aura of magical power emitted from the other party…

“Level-4 Divine Mage!!”

After Lenny and the others had sensed the enemy’s level, they were all shocked!

How could this be?! The enemy actually… actually had a Divine Mage!!

The level-4 Divine Mage was an old man with somewhat withered hair and flesh. His eye sockets had sunk very deeply. He was clearly as withered as an old piece of wood, and his face was very ashen. However, there was still a faint glow in his eyes, making one not dare to look at him directly.

Behind the old man, a group of Great Archmagi had already appeared. They were operating a special magic formation. The person in the middle was using the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale to absorb the special energy from the depths of the ground!

It turned out that the scene Dick and the others had seen earlier had not been conjured out of thin air. Instead, it was a live broadcast of this scene opposite—a projection!

Such an exquisite and powerful magic formation trap should have come from that Divine Mage old man, which meant that the other party was also a grandmaster of magic formations!!

While everyone was horrified, Lenny pulled a long face and suppressed his anger. “Why have all of you stolen my Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale?!”

The old man hissed coldly. He did not plan to speak to a dying person at all. He only raised his withered claw slightly…

Dick and the others felt the magic formation that had trapped them vibrate slightly. A large number of magic formation patterns appeared on the ground beneath their feet. A strange force had inexplicably appeared in the surrounding space, and it was crazily absorbing magical power from their bodies!!

No! It was not just magical energy… but also life force in their bodies!!

The nine of them were all shocked. They exchanged glances and attacked together in the direction of the barrier which they had breached when they entered!

Dick had even used the second transformation of the Skyfiend Three Transformations. Even when the nine Great Archmagi attacked together, the energy barrier trembled violently and flickered… but it was still not breached!!

The power of this magic formation far surpassed everyone’s imagination!!

Not only was the barrier not breached, it had also absorbed all their magical attacks. The absorbed energy was… transmitted to the other side.

Dick’s expression was grave as he took a look. “The magic trapping formation we’re in is absorbing the energy and vitality in our bodies to replenish the energy of the magic formation opposite!”

Therefore, what the group of Great Archmagi opposite them had done with the magic formation they had set up was the enemy’s primary target!

As for the level-4 Divine Mage old man, the reason why he did not simply attack Dick and the others was firstly because he wanted to use them as fuel, and secondly, the old man wanted to control the magic formation here, so he did not attack them directly.

He had set up obstacles on his way to the Forging Sect, stolen the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale from the Forging Sect during the chaotic battle back then, and used the dragon scale to absorb special energy in the underground magic formation of the Black Forest… Everything was linked.

What was the enemy trying to do by racking their brains and going through so much trouble to snatch the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale?

What was the special energy the enemy had used the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale to absorb from the depths of the ground…

Just as Dick was concentrating on thinking of a solution to get out of danger, the person who was surrounded by the twelve Great Archmagi was looking coldly at Dick and the others. His lips curled into a mocking smile.

This person was wearing a white magic robe. He was a man of about 30 years old, who was quite handsome and had an extraordinary aura… He had appeared in the mystic realm trial which Ron had participated in and was the person Howen had reminded Ron to be wary of. However, Ron had not seen this person.

This person’s name was… Jared!!
