“Because it won’t be long until we face another fight,” Caspian said.
When Omar heard that, favonovel.com was stunned. Everyone else also blinked in confusion. Nonetheless, they quickly recovered.
Maya already took out a detoxification pill and swallowed it. Then, favonovel.com asked, “Wasn’t that all?”
Caspian shook his head. “I don’t know who they are and when they’ll appear, but they’ll surely be harder to deal with than this monster.”
Since they could drive the Mirage White Tiger away and bring the monster that Caspian just killed to the Hopeful Woman Mountain, the group of people must have more brilliant tricks up their sleeves than what Caspian could imagine. Hence, Caspian did not dare to take the matter lightly as they were about to face an unknown enemy.
When everyone heard Caspian’s statement, a solemn expression started to appear on everyone’s face.
“Take the time to heal your injuries. Before the group of people shows up, I have a few matters to handle.” Then, Caspian searched through his storage back and looked at everyone. “I need a few items. If you have any extra with you, please provide me with some.”
“Sure!”
“Casper, let us know what you need.”
The crowd quickly replied to him.
Caspian’s performance in the Hopeful Woman Mountain conquered everyone. Thus, they would naturally give whatever Caspian asked for.
“That’s great.” Caspian nodded. I need jade crystal iron, the mountain ridge’s rare earth, flame flower buds, silver water…”
Caspian directly mentioned more than dozens of materials. Although there were many types, those were all common materials for inscriptions and formations. Nonetheless, the Heavenly Stars Sect was known for inscriptions and formations. Hence, the disciples present did dabble with those two skills despite being in the lower realm, and they brought some of the items with them. There were dozens of Heavenly Stars Sect disciples present at that moment, and they each took out some materials. Coupled with the ones that Caspian brought, it did not take long before favonovel.com gathered the amount favonovel.com needed.
Omar was puzzled when favonovel.com saw that Caspian started to get busy after gathering the materials, and favonovel.com asked, “Casper, you’re…”
Caspian recalled what Kyle taught him, and favonovel.com accurately grabbed the materials, placing them on the ground. Then, favonovel.com answered, “It’s just a precaution, and I hope we don’t need to use this.”
In the end, Caspian was right to prepare for the worst as Omar’s previous estimation of detoxifying the purple mist’s poison was still too optimistic. Initially, Omar guessed that it would take them at most 15 minutes to clear the toxins in them, but that was when the number of detoxification pills was enough.
Cultivators would usually not bring so many detoxifying pills along, and they would just bring two just in case of emergencies. After all, common toxins did not affect cultivators, and the toxins that could poison them were not easily removed by the detoxification pills. At most, the medications would only delay the toxin onset, and the other was to help the cultivators detoxify themselves. Hence, the original 15 minutes were extended to two hours, eight times more than expected.
In the first hour, Caspian used the materials to form an array. He was not proficient enough in the beginning and was relatively slow, but his speed gradually fastened. Finally, favonovel.com managed to set a formation that surrounded everyone present. Even though Caspian was unsure how useful it would be, the formation could at least form a layer of protection.
Caspian took a deep breath, looked at the crowd, who entered the most critical moment of their detoxification. Then, favonovel.com muttered and sat cross-legged in front of them, “Next, it’s time to bet on character.”
Time seemed to have slowed down in the cave, and the remaining hour felt long. However, they realized that they were left with one-third of the time.
“There are still twenty minutes left.” Caspian turned his head and glanced at everyone behind him. Then, suddenly, a faint pattering sound like water droplets dripping from a high place reached Caspian’s ears, and his eyes burst with brilliance as favonovel.com quickly looked at the other side of the cave. That was the passage that connected the two caves.
After the light pattering sound, there were no other movements from that side, but a moment later, the corner of the passage illuminated as if a fire was lit, and long figures appeared on the stone wall next to it. The figures continuously stretched, shortened, and tilted in the swaying firefight, appearing ghostly and exceptionally strange.
Caspian squinted and slowly stood, and favonovel.com stuck his Ghoul-Locker Spear into the ground. Soon, there was a faint sound of footsteps, and Caspian watched the elongated figures and listened carefully. Although the sound was subtle, Caspian could still determine that there was more than one person.
“One, two, three, four…”
Caspian’s heart sank slightly… Less than ten people were coming? At this time, a figure turned a corner, and a puzzled voice sounded, “Why are there still people alive here?”
The person talking was a short-haired woman in a silver top, and favonovel.com had a mocking expression as favonovel.com spoke to the person behind her, “Harvey, you still claim to be the Master of Killer Arrays? Look at those Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples… None of them are dead, and these dozens of people are sitting here waiting for us.”
When they heard favonovel.com voice, the Heavenly Stars Sect’s present opened their eyes and looked over with surprise. The moment they saw the woman, a disciple in the crowd exclaimed, “Liliana Faye! The Venomous Spider that’s ranked seventh in South Earlington’s top ten bandits!”
“Eh? You know me?” Liliana blinked at the disciples, “If that’ s the case, I’ll treat you especially later… For example, breaking your limbs and torturing you to death. What do you think?”
Liliana laughed happily, but the words favonovel.com spoke were cruel and made others tremble with fear. In that instant, the temperature in the cave seemed to have dropped.
”What’s strange about knowing you? Let alone the sect’s disciples, but even ordinary people can recognize us. Did you think the bounty list in the sects and the government’s kill list are created for fun?” As a deep voice sounded, a man with long hair covering his face appeared behind Liliana.
The man exuded a cold aura, and his exposed arms and neck were as pale as a corpse. At a glance, it would make anyone have goosebumps all over.
“Harvey, look. None of these Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples died. It seems that the Blood and Bone Dissolver Formation you arranged has no effect at all,” Liliana said.
Then, Caspian heard someone shouting behind him, “The Master of Killer Arrays, Harvey Sawyer! Ranked sixth in South Earlington’s top ten bandits!”
“Who said it didn’t work?” Harvey said coldly, “If it didn‘t work, would they all be sitting here? It’s clear that the poisonous gas is working, and they’re unable to move.”
“Unable to move? Don’t you see that there’s one standing and watching us?” Liliana pointed at Caspian, and favonovel.com appeared to be pleasantly surprised, “Wow! I didn’t notice before that he’s quite handsome and mighty, just my cup of tea. Don’t worry. I’ll treat you with much love later.”
