355: maze

Dragon Cloudfrost's bracelet burst forth with dazzling light, which shone and formed a very brilliant and eye-catching light screen blocking her path.

Bang bang bang—

Countless light blades fell onto the light screen, emitting cracking sounds.

Dragon Cloudfrost's expression was calm as she continued walking towards the cave entrance.

Behind her, Zhou Luo quietly watched this scene and followed her.

Qi Chuan also glanced at the group trapped by the illusion before silently following.

With the light screen blocking, the formation attack blocking the cave entrance also became nothing to fear.

Dragon Cloudfrost did not choose to directly destroy this offensive formation, instead thinking of using it to slow down the people behind.

In an instant, she had already reached the cave entrance. The light blades were still continuously smashing onto the light screen, producing an unending sound, but it did not affect them.

Enduring the Array Formation attack, the three entered the cave and saw a pitch-black passage.

The passage was so dark they couldn't see their hands, only a faint light visible at the end.

But for the three of them, there was no hindrance.

In the darkness, they released their spiritual sense and instantly grasped the situation throughout the entire passage.

However, as they continued to delve deeper, they were surprised to find that the end seemed to be blocked by a certain force. Even their Foundation Establishment spiritual sense could not proceed further.

The three had no choice but to take out their Magical Artifacts and walk towards the end.

Outside, Shangguan Qianxue and Song Zhan were destroying the illusion released by the spiritual talisman, while the two groups behind them remained perfectly still in a tacit understanding.

They were following Shangguan Qianxue and her group, so they did not realize that Zhou Luo and his group were the source of everything.

At this moment, they were waiting for the other party to break the formation.

In less than a quarter of an hour's Time, Shangguan Qianxue had broken the illusion, and the scene before her returned to normal.

Looking at the lush green forest and the vanished figures of the three, her beautiful eyes sank, and she released her spiritual sense to follow forward.

Not long after, she also arrived in front of the cave.

Looking at the traces of battle here, she was about to step forward.

However, Song Zhan stopped her with a hand: "Senior Sister, there is a peak-grade Formation here."

He was a Second-Order Formation Master and had some research on Array formations. At this moment, he recognized with a single glance that an offensive formation was hidden here.

"Senior Brother, are you planning to break the formation?" Shangguan Qianxue asked via spiritual transmission.

Song Zhan smiled indifferently: "Of course not, don't we need to shake off the tails behind us?"

He decided to change the running trajectory of this formation and enhance its power, letting it help block the two groups behind.

Everyone was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Unless they were particularly skilled at concealment, it would be easy to detect someone following behind.

Previously, they had ignored them because it wasn't Time yet.

Now that the other party had entered the cave, it meant there must be good things inside.

Since that was the case, they finally chose to make their move.

While Song Zhan was plotting to set up the array, inside the cave.

Zhou Luo and the others had already passed through the pitch-black long corridor, and the scene before them suddenly opened up.

This was a bright and spacious karst cave, covered in various Ores, colorful and dazzling, reflecting on the rocks, making it even more brilliant and eye-catching.

In the center of the karst cave, a red wood coffin was placed.

Array patterns were drawn on the coffin with golden liquid, and its surroundings emitted a hazy glow.

Around the coffin, Spirit Stones were placed in a staggered arrangement, forming a great array centered around the coffin.

As an Array Master, Zhou Luo keenly sensed that this great array was at least Second Order or above.

"Is this the coffin of that Golden Core True Person?" Dragon Cloudfrost mused.

"Probably not, but there might be good things inside."

While Qi Chuan said that, his gaze fell on the pitch-black cave entrance opposite.

The other party was a Golden Core True Person; it was impossible for them to arrange their tomb so carelessly after death.

There might be treasures inside this coffin, or it could be a trap.

And the latter possibility might be greater.

But he wouldn't say it explicitly.

Compared to Zhou Luo, with whom he had signed a contract, the relationship between Qi Chuan and Dragon Cloudfrost was purely cooperative.

In this situation, it was impossible for him to reveal his conjectures without reservation.

Moreover, he also needed to assess how the other party's strength had become over the years.

Dragon Cloudfrost wasn't foolish; she naturally knew what this coffin meant.

So she said very decisively: "We continue deeper."

The temptation of a single coffin was far from enough. Her target was that Spiritual Artifact, so there was no need to risk herself.

Zhou Luo, who had been silent beside them, had no objections.

This Second Order formation was much stronger than imagined. Forcing their way in would take a lot of Time, and the group of Foundation Establishment cultivators behind them would definitely not give up easily.

Getting themselves into danger at that Time would not be worth the loss.

"Alright, let's go," Qi Chuan said.

The three very decisively walked towards another passage.

After passing through that passage, they arrived in a new karst cave.

And the layout here was exactly the same as the previous one.

However, this Time, two more passages appeared in the karst cave.

"It seems this tomb is also a maze," Qi Chuan immediately judged.

Clearly, the owner of the tomb did not wish for them to find the location of the true coffin.

As it currently stood, there were two passages before them.

Either split up or go together.

Qi Chuan turned his gaze towards Dragon Cloudfrost.

Among the three, she was considered the leader, so it was best for her to make the decision.

Dragon Cloudfrost looked at the two passages, also contemplating a feasible plan.

"Let me try,"

At this moment, Zhou Luo spoke up.

In this situation, he still had to demonstrate his value. Otherwise, doing nothing would still cause dissatisfaction from the other party.

Everyone was smart. It was still far from the Time to find the so-called treasure, so there was no need to waste Time on such matters.

These words caught the attention of Qi Chuan and Dragon Cloudfrost.

The former's eyes flickered slightly, unsure of what he was thinking.

The latter, however, showed a curious and surprised expression.

Immediately after, they saw Zhou Luo flip his right hand, and three tortoise shells actually appeared in his palm.

"You know Divination?" Dragon Cloudfrost's indifferent voice carried a hint of surprise.

Qi Chuan also revealed an astonished expression.

Divination is one of the hundred arts of cultivation, considered a relatively unpopular skill.

Because the entry into this skill is not difficult, even ordinary people in the mundane world can grasp it. The difficulty lies in the advancement of this skill.

Truly powerful Divination masters can not only divine life and death but also divine past lives and the future, which is extremely mysterious.

Of course, currently, they had not heard of anyone who could reach such a level.

Seeing the three tortoise shells at this moment, both of them were somewhat surprised.

"I dabbled in it when I had nothing to do," Zhou Luo explained casually.

Anyway, for such an unpopular skill, he could just casually make up an excuse.

After he drew this skill from the lottery back then, he once tried divining his own future fate, but the tortoise shells for Divination broke on the spot.

Later, he found that with his ability, the things he divined could not be too profound.

Thus, this skill had always been left unused.

Now, it finally had a place to be used.
