44: Magical Uses of Array Master

Although the journey was quite difficult, they still reached the bottom of the underground palace.

At the bottom of the underground palace, the light had completely disappeared, and they could only rely on the night-luminescent pearl to explore the scene ahead.

Several people stood back to back, pressed tightly together, their eyes vigilantly observing their surroundings.

“Look, are those statues ahead?”

As a Shield Warrior, Lin Ling'er had always been at the forefront.

After speaking, she raised her hand and pointed into the distance.

Indeed, on both sides of the passage, there were more than twenty stone statues, crowded within the passage.

These stone statues were monsters with wings and hunched bodies.

The moment he saw these stone statues, Li Changkong immediately told everyone around him to wait in place.

There would be no useless things appearing in the Instance Dungeon for no reason; these stone statues looked very strange from their appearance.

Black Flame slowly approached the stone statues under his command.

Just as Li Changkong had expected, as soon as Black Flame approached the stone statues, they began to tremble violently.

Piece by piece, the stone on their bodies fell off, and more than a dozen monsters appeared before their eyes.

In just a moment, more than a dozen monsters appeared before their eyes.

Name: Gargoyle (Elite Monster)

Rank: 35

Skills: Petrification, Exhilarating Impact, Vanish into Darkness…

The strength of these monsters was not weak; they had all reached the ceiling of a Rank 30 Instance Dungeon.

The moment they saw these gargoyles, the gargoyles charged over.

With a slight flap of their wings, their figures vanished into the darkness.

“This should be their Vanish into Darkness skill. Let’s be a little more careful.”

After the gargoyles disappeared, Li Changkong loudly reminded them.

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a gust of wind from behind him.

A gargoyle had appeared above his head at some unknown time.

A sandbag-like fist was already aimed at Li Changkong’s crown, about to strike.

Li Changkong, who had been standing still, suddenly flickered and appeared more than ten meters away.

Reacting quickly, Li Changkong did not hesitate, directly smashing a Fire Vein True Dragon onto the monster.

The monster, which had been extremely arrogant just moments before, now let out a wail.

It was clear that although this monster possessed considerable strength and very strange skills, its Physique was not very good.

It actually fell to the ground after just one Fire Vein True Dragon from him.

Everyone Advanced cautiously, and the gargoyles that had appeared in the middle of the path were completely eliminated by them.

After passing through this section of the passage, they discovered that there was actually a forest underground.

However, this forest was extremely strange; all the trees were naturally black, and even the leaves were dyed black.

A suppressive aura permeated the air, and the surroundings were chillingly frightening.

“Strange, there’s no light in this place, so why are there so many trees?”

Xu Chuchu was also quite curious and prepared to enter the forest.

But Li Changkong, who was behind her, extended a hand and suddenly pulled her back.

“Don’t go over yet. You can observe carefully; this place in front of us is a bit strange.”

Li Changkong glanced at Xu Chuchu and then gave a slight reminder.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chuchu began to re-examine the forest before her.

Soon, she felt that the forest in front of her was indeed very strange.

On these trees, there seemed to be fruits, one by one.

In the dim light, the appearance of these fruits could not be clearly seen at all.

But upon closer inspection, it became apparent that on the fruits of these trees, there were some faint shadows entwined.

Once she saw them clearly, a hint of terror appeared on Xu Chuchu’s face.

She hadn't expected that on the fruits of these trees, there were actually wraiths, one after another, entwined around them.

These wraiths had ferocious expressions, as if they had suffered some torment before their death.

“It seems we’ve run into some trouble. Everyone, be a little careful.”

Li Changkong reminded everyone and sent Black Flame ahead to investigate.

The place they were in was already underground; if Li Changkong guessed correctly, there should be piles of white bones on the surface.

Li Changkong had been somewhat curious before as to why there were so many white bones there.

Moreover, on those white bones, there were no traces left by magic or swords.

Among them were not only human bones but also some monster bones.

Now it seemed, it was inextricably linked to this place.

The wraiths of those white bones from above had all been drawn to the underground location.

“This seems to be a Formation.”

Zhu Sha, who had been silent all this time, now spoke.

“Sister Zhu is also a Formation Master.”

Xu Chuchu, seeing Li Changkong’s confused expression, explained.

The status of a Formation Master, in this world, is actually very noble.

Firstly, because there are too many places that require Formations, and the number of awakened Formation Masters is very small.

Therefore, every Formation Master is almost a highly sought-after commodity.

Secondly, it is because Formation Masters are too expensive; cultivating an Elementary Formation Master requires at least tens of millions of chinese yuan.

If one wants to cultivate an Intermediate Formation Master, it would cost hundreds of millions of chinese yuan.

It is precisely for this reason that slightly Advanced Formations are very rare.

Li Changkong hadn't expected Zhu Sha to be a Formation Master, and she seemed quite strong.

“This forest before us is a Formation. Thankfully, we didn’t enter it.”

“Those fruits on the trees are basically transformed from vengeful spirits; once we get close, they can materialize.”

“Although their Rank isn’t too high, they’ve reached Rank 30, and their numbers are in the tens of thousands.”

Zhu Sha now breathed a sigh of relief and explained.

Just as Zhu Sha had said, facing such a massive number of monsters, the few of them simply couldn’t cope.

Even ants, if numerous enough, can bite an elephant to death, let alone monsters of Rank 30.

“Speaking of which, why are there such strange things in this Instance Dungeon?”

Li Changkong couldn’t help but feel curious about the origin of the Instance Dungeon.

Although he had received some basic education, he had never heard about this aspect.

“Anyway, according to the information I obtained previously, these Instance Dungeons originally belonged to our Bluetear.”

“Tens of millions of years ago, the entire Bluetear was 100 times larger than it is now.”

“But for some unknown reason, the entire Bluetear shattered, leaving only this one Bluetear.”

“These Instance Dungeons are those shattered parts of the original Bluetear that entered an alternate dimension.”
