“What’s going on?”
“Where are we?”
“Didn’t we enter the Hopeful Woman Mountain?”
“Are we on the mountainside?”
The sounds of people panicking sounded from all corners of the Hopeful Woman Mountain. Previously, no one expected to encounter such a scene after entering the place.
At that moment, even Caspian was somewhat dumbfounded. The tall disciple mentioned before there were countless complex caves in this Hopeful Woman Mountain. Hence, Caspian was also mentally prepared for it. However, there was an endless desert in front of him, and the scorching sun shined in the sky. Soon, Caspian felt his body warming up as the hot wind blew on him.
Was favonovel.com not on the mountainside? Why was there desert and sunlight?
Caspian started to frown, and favonovel.com had a bad feeling about it. Since something was out of the ordinary, there must be an unpleasant reason behind it.
After some time, Caspian slowly uttered two words, “Fantasy array…”
Although Caspian did not research in-depth about formations and all the arrays favonovel.com used were from Kyle, favonovel.com still had some understanding of them. Therefore, Caspian was aware of a formation type used to confuse the enemies, formation array.
Looking at the golden sands blown by the wind, Caspian continued, “It’s not hard to crack the fantasy array. I can either find the center of the formation to break the formation or forcefully break the formation. Thirdly, I can walk straight in one direction without being affected by the array, and the formation will naturally be broken too.”
At the thought of that, Caspian suddenly whispered, “The appearance of the formation isn’t worth panicking over, but the problem lies with who arranged the formation?”
Caspian was more concerned with the person behind the formation and the purpose. Hence, favonovel.com started to quickly gather the fragmented memories in his mind.
The sudden emergence of the monster with wisdom, the rate of the news spread, the Hopeful Woman Mountain’s closed environment, and the sudden fantasy array… When Caspian connected the series of events, favonovel.com knew that it was a, ploy!
All of those were a ploy!
Caspian was on battlefields before, and favonovel.com understood that all warfare was based on deception. It was very common to lure the enemy with gain in a well-prepared battle. Then, they would encircle and annihilate them.
After carefully analyzing the details, the pregnant monster with wisdom was used to lure everyone, and the Hopeful Woman Mountain enclosed by the miasma was the trap where everyone would have nowhere to turn for aid.
“Is it the Ninth Sacred Sect’s ploy?” Caspian racked his brain, but favonovel.com knew that it was impossible. The fight with the Ninth Sacred Sect at the entrance was not an act. If they were orchestrating the whole thing, the Ninth Sacred Sect would only send a few disciples instead of nearly a hundred of them.
After all, the higher the number of people, the easier the ploy exposed. Thus, from everyone’s reaction back then, Caspian was convinced that the Ninth Sacred Sect fell for the trap.
“Who can it be?” Caspian mulled over, “Is it the monster?”
Caspian thought it was not possible as the fantasy array was a cultivator’s style. Moreover, the existence of the monster with wisdom was only hearsay now, and Caspian was yet to see it.
After pondering for some time, Caspian felt the scorching sun above favonovel.com get even brighter. Then, favonovel.com shook his head. “Screw it! I’ll just break the formation and find the others first as it’s much safer being in groups.”
Once Caspian calmed himself down, favonovel.com recalled Kyle’s teachings before. Soon, favonovel.com had an idea and bent to grab a handful of sand, letting the sand escape between his fingers. The falling sand formed a line, but it was quickly blown away in a direction by the wind.
“The fantasy array can also change the scenery, but it can‘t create something out of thin air. This wind should be the air currents in the mountainside,” Caspian nodded, “As long as I follow the direction where the sand is blown, I won’t be affected by my surroundings and stray from walking forward.”
The scenery in the fantasy array was constantly changing. Being in it, one would think favonovel.com walked straight, but in truth, favonovel.com was deflected by the changes in the surrounding view, and favonovel.com was walking in a circle on the spot. Caspian remembered what Kyle said to him, “The first thing to take note of when being in a fantasy array isn’t using the scenery as reference.”
The sunlight above favonovel.com got brighter and whiter, and it was so dazzling that Caspian could not open his eyes wide. Nevertheless, Caspian was unbothered, and favonovel.com kept walking forward. If there was a rock in front of him, favonovel.com would not dodge but directly blast it.
The scenery in the fantasy array might be genuine or fake, so sometimes the rock would be real. However, Caspian would not take a detour and just walk forward. Less than half an hour later, Caspian successfully rushed out of the formation. The moment favonovel.com rushed out, the dazzling light disappeared instantly, and what appeared in front of Caspian‘s eyes was indeed a huge cave, as the tall disciple said before. Although the light in the mountainside was not comparable to the outside, favonovel.com would still be able to see anyone’s face.
Later, Caspian turned around and noticed that favonovel.com just passed through a stalactite cave. If it were not for Kyle’s teaching on fantasy arrays before, Caspian would not know how long favonovel.com would be trapped in the small area.
“I should see other people’s situations next. If these formations are purposely laid out, then the problem is colossal.” After thinking for a moment, Caspian shook his wrist, and the Ghoul-Locker Spear appeared in his hand, which showed that favonovel.com attached great importance to his matter.
Then, Caspian observed his surroundings and walked in the other direction of the cave. There was a hole there, which seemed to lead to another cave.
At that time, the white tiger that observed the mountainside was baffled.
“Someone escaped the fantasy array?” The white tiger whined in disbelief. In the pool in front of it, Caspian’s aloof and arrogant face appeared.
“This human…”
The blood-red pupils blinked, and the white tiger recalled that at the entrance, that human that seemed to be a cultivator, and favonovel.com managed to heavily injure three opponents by himself. Moreover, his opponents were in a higher realm than him. If it were not for someone rescuing the three, favonovel.com would easily kill them.
‘I didn’t expect such a change to happen…’ The white tiger’s eyes flashed with a thoughtful look ‘If I didn’t expect this, they probably never anticipated this either If that’s the case, favonovel.com might be the key to turning this situation around. However, it’s so unfortunate that I’m…’
The white tiger let out a painful roar, and its belly squirmed even more than before. At the same time, the momentum of this white tiger declined crazily.
“I’m about to give birth… This situation… No… I must do something…”
The white tiger appeared determined, and suddenly it hit the tip of its tongue. Soon, it spat out a big mouthful of blood, staining the water in front of it red.
