”What do you mean?” The battle had been going on for so long that even Solomon was already numb. He only knew how to keep casting, as if everything else had nothing to do with him. Even when he heard Lin Yun's rejoicing voice, Solomon only dispiritedly asked this question.

But after asking, Solomon seemed to realize something, and he quickly recovered. ”You got it?”

”Yes, I did.”

”Great…” Solomon truly was almost tearful.

As the two talked, the hundred or so lesser arrays Lin Yun had drawn on the tree trunk started working. They were used to sever mana transmission, destroy mana circuits, bypass mana, and attenuate effects. It was accurate and complex, like a machine with countless components.

As the lesser arrays operated on the True Spirit level array, the originally methodical mana flow suddenly became chaotic. All the mana circuits seemed to be blocked, unable to smoothly connect as they had been able to before. In a blink, several hundred mana nodes were terminated, and even the ones that hadn't been terminated were greatly weakened, unable to display their desired effects. In this short moment, the entire True Spirit array began to shut down.

After losing the support of the True Spirit array, the almost tangible aura of life started dispersing. At first, it was only thinning to some extent, but as the hundred lesser arrays continued to do their work, the life aura dissipated faster and faster.

The dense beast tide also seemed to feel it...

Most of them were frozen on the spot, feeling hesitant… On one hand, they felt the power that had been strengthening them now dissipating, but on the other hand, they would hate to part with the prey right before their eyes.

But now that Lin Yun was free from having to work on the array, it wouldn't be as hard as before. The Spiritual Magic Staff appeared in his hands, and Syudos came out of the Magic Arrays, spreading a sea of fire in the forest.

This was enough to turn a dozen magic beasts into coal.

”Still not fleeing?”

As if startled by Lin Yun's cold snort, the horde of beasts suddenly retreated. That last prey's display was too frightening. When Solomon recovered, not one living magic beast was left in the surroundings. Only blood and corpses filled his sight, all of which had been the result of the previous battle.

”Xiuban, gather the mana crystals.”

”Sir…” Xiuban was lying on the ground, panting heavily. After going through such an intense battle, the Draconic Beastman only wanted to lay down to nap. Hearing Lin Yun's order to gather the mana crystals, he looked up sullenly, about to complain.

”You can have a quarter of them after gathering them all up.”

”I'll go immediately, Sir!” When the half-dead Draconic Beastman heard that, he suddenly got up, no longer showing any signs of fatigue.

'Sure enough, using the carrot and the stick is the most efficient way to deal with a Highland Beastman.'

”Merlin, the camp…” Although the beast tide here had already been taken care of, Solomon was still worried about the camp.

”There shouldn't be any problem with the camp. You can go back to take a look if you want.” Lin Yun was quite positive about that. After he cracked the True Spirit array, the aura of life disappeared and the Four Seasons Canyon seemed to return to normal. There was no longer the vigorous mana and crazy vitality pervading the area.

”What about you?”

”I want to research this array.” Lin Yun shook his head. He didn't plan to leave for now.

For a Master Alchemist, being able to research the array of an Artisan was a very rare opportunity.

Especially now, it was even more rare to be able to study an Artisan's array that had been cracked.

This was like fully displaying the workings of the True Spirit array in front of Lin Yun, leaving all the secrets and details were plainly visible to him.

This was a temptation that a Master Alchemist couldn't resist.

How could Lin Yun give up on such an opportunity?

About ten minutes later, Xiuban finished gathering the mana crystals and took his share without being polite. Moreover, Lin Yun noticed that the greedy Draconic Beastman took the mana crystals with the best quality.
