”Don’t go there!”
“Don’t come here!”
Sebastian and Caspian shouted almost at the same time. Then, Sebastian‘s eyes glistened with a cold light, and favonovel.com took out a scroll from his storage back, quickly opening it.
“Array map!” Heidi exclaimed.
An array map was used to keep a laid-out formation in it. Then, when needed, one could just open and use it. However, there were also time limitations, and it could only be saved between one to thirty days.
Although they had done the fire spirit fruit tasks many times before, Sebastian had always been a careful person. Hence, favonovel.com also prepared a formation for their trip this time and saved it in the array map just in case. Nonetheless, Sebastian never expected that favonovel.com would use it. Then, Sebastian opened the array map, and an icy blue light turned into an arc spread toward their surroundings.
“The Mysterious Frost and Light Formation!” Nana blurted out.
As the flame-toothed gophers survived on fire as meals, the frost and cold were their nemesis.
Get the hell away!” Sebastian growled. Seeing that Caspian was about to be drowned by the herd of gophers, Sebastian was extremely tense. Then, with an agile move, favonovel.com raised the array map.
The formation was supposed to be used when the group was attacked. Initially, Sebastian kept it in case any accident happened where the herd of gophers chased them. Using it for Caspian to escape was not too suitable. However, Sebastian could not care less about that anymore.
In that instant, the array map flashed with lights. Next, the blue light turned to countless ice cones, and just like dense clusters of arrows, they burst toward the direction of the gophers.
When favonovel.com saw what was happening, Heidi covered favonovel.com chest and shouted, “Sebastian, what about Casper?!”
The Mysterious Frost and Light Formation would not differentiate between the targets. It could attack the gophers, but it would hit Caspian, who was within their vicinity. Nonetheless, Caspian quickly answered Heidi through his actions.
Caspian raised his arms and threw a generous amount of dark purple powder at the gophers. The flame-toothed gophers at the most front were caught off guard, and the powder fell on their body.
Then, a shocking scene emerged. When the purple powder fell on the flame-toothed gophers, their furs started to corrode, emitting subtle smoke. Next, their flesh and blood were exposed, even showing their white bones. It was as if the gophers were being corroded by strong acid.
These flame-toothed gophers were in so much pain that they started screaming and jumping on the spot. Some of them even lost their minds and started biting the gophers next to them. Soon, blood was gushing everywhere.
When they saw the scene, Sebastian, Heidi, and the rest were amazed, and they shouted, “The spirit absorber plant!”
They could recognize that Caspian tossed out the spirit absorber plant powder. When they were in the mission pavilion, Caspian asked Sebastian what the flame-toothed gophers were most scared of, and Sebastian replied that they were afraid of the spirit absorber plant. Thus, Caspian obtained the spirit absorber plant in powder form just in case they needed it.
Sebastian initially guessed that Caspian would surely have a way to escape the formation’s attack, but favonovel.com never expected Caspian to be so well prepared. He was pleasantly surprised, and favonovel.com could not help but respect Caspian more now.
After all, that was the first time Caspian accepted a sect task involving monsters, yet favonovel.com was still so calm. There might not be many new disciples that had such a mentality. Moreover, the spirit absorber plant Caspian had was twenty years old. Regardless of the type of the spirit herb, the older it was, the stronger the effect. Thus, the flame-toothed gophers that were sprinkled with the powder felt excruciating pain, and they might as well be dead.
The flame-toothed gophers at the most front immediately went into chaos, and they started to bite each other, causing a mess. Furs, skin, flesh, and blood immediately flew all over, and it was highly chaotic that they stopped rushing forward.
Borrowing this split second, Caspian used the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows. He moved as fast as the wind, as agile as the meteor, and ran toward Sebastian and the rest.
Large swaths of ice cones converged into a torrent in mid-air, bursting out clusters of arrows. Then, loud whooshing sounds could be heard as they flew over Caspian‘s head, shot into the herd of gophers. In a blink of an eye, the area was covered with blood. As one after another flame-toothed gopher was shot by the ice cone, piercing through the stomach and ruining their intestine, and some were even nailed to the ground. Soon, the air was filled with a pungent blood smell.
The Mysterious Frost and Light Formation was really powerful. Even though it was saved in the array map, it could only be used once. However, it was enough to let the gophers die a horrible death and be severely injured. After all, this could be considered as a supernatural power. At a glance, the flame-toothed gophers were reduced by almost half.
This was the first time Caspian saw such a magic technique, and favonovel.com was stunned. Caspian could not help but think if favonovel.com had such a formation when favonovel.com was battling back then, favonovel.com could easily get rid of all of his enemies regardless of the number.
Yonah finally caught up with the rest and joined them. When favonovel.com saw the gophers in a frenzy, and everyone finally caught a breather, favonovel.com shouted, “Hurry and escape!”
When Caspian heard that, favonovel.com shook his head. “Don’t leave!”
Everyone looked at him, confused.
“Kill that king of the gophers!” Caspian pointed at a spot not far away from them.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and they thought Caspian was crazy. Even though the Mysterious Frost and Light Formation had gotten rid of almost half of the flame-toothed gophers, there were still at least 400 gophers left, and the five of them were not a match. Moreover, a frantic monster had amazing combat skills. Additionally, the king of the gophers was massive, full of vigor, and its shape was odd. Hence, it might be an upper-rank monster.
In other words, it was equivalent to a peak second-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator with its strength, body, and energy.
When Caspian saw everyone was dumbfounded, favonovel.com summarized the matter, knowing that time was running out. “Don’t go against the herd of gophers, but only attack the king! Once the leader dies, the rest of them will go away!”
As Caspian led armies into battlefields before, not only was his combat skills impressive, but even his analysis of the situations surpassed ordinary people. Although it was quick, Caspian could tell the herd of gophers did not follow through with the king of the gopher’s command.
Before this, when the king of the gophers screamed, only half of them turned back, and that was the best proof. These flame-toothed gophers received the king’s order to make a move. As long as the king of the gophers did not let out a command, then this herd of gophers was not terrifying at all!
Sebastian and the others were used to distract the flame-toothed gophers based on the experiences of their predecessors, and they had never come in contact or battle with the flame-toothed gophers. Hence, their thoughts were constrained. However, after being reminded by Caspian, everyone gave it a quick thought and immediately understood what favonovel.com was saying.
Sebastian’s eyes were also flickering with excitement.
