Chapter 1261 Mysterious Pit

A huge light beam swept through the air, shocking Bao Buping and Chang Hao . If Long Chen hadn’t pulled them down, they would have probably been hit .

But curiously, this light beam didn’t give off any sense of danger . That was what made it so they hadn’t sensed it at all .

“What is that?” Bao Buping stared closely at the huge light beam .

Within this light beam was the image of a huge sword . It appeared heavy enough to shake the sky . With its countless runes revolving around it, it had to be a world-shaking divine item .

Long Chen looked closely at the projection of the sword and then in which direction it was coming from . “As expected, this world’s creatures are up to no good . They’re intentionally projecting the images of divine items toward the Sovereign Blood Seal . That way, the outside world will see the reflections of a few divine items on the Devil Spirit Mountain, and more people will be baited over . ”

Bao Buping and Chang Hao nodded . This light beam was pointed precisely in the direction they had come from .

“But what’s the point in drawing over more people?” asked Bao Buping .

“The answer to that question isn’t something we can rush . Just now, when I did a soulsearch of that creature we killed, I didn’t find any answers in those regards . But this light gives us a direction . The projection has to have the true treasure behind it, so… hehe, you understand,” laughed Long Chen .

“Long Chen, are you saying… we can obtain that treasure?” Bao Buping and Chang Hao’s eyes began to s.h.i.+ne .

“But of course . Otherwise, what would be the point of taking such a huge risk in coming here? But right now, our main goal is still the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet . Let’s go take a look at it . ”

The three of them carefully crept in the direction of the light . But while the light looked like it had come from very close by, even after two days and tens of thousands of miles of travel, they didn’t see the light’s source .

On the third day, the light had faded, but they had already determined its direction, so there was no problem .

The three of them stealthily pa.s.sed by many sentries . Once, they almost ran into one of them, causing the three of them to immediately find a hole to hide in .

They wouldn’t have a problem dealing with a group of just ten of these creatures, but if they were exposed, then even more terrifying lifeforms would come to surround them, and they would be doomed .

On the way, Bao Buping and Chang Hao’s admiration toward Long Chen continued to rise . They realized the only reason the old man had agreed to let them go to Devil Spirit Mountain was because of Long Chen .

Without Long Chen, then with their characters, they’d probably have just charged their way in, and quickly be surrounded and killed .

Long Chen brought them along a winding path, avoiding countless dangers . Although they were still surrounded by danger, it could be said that the old man’s theory that power was greater than intelligence was not always true .

When just intelligence wasn’t able to solve a problem, you would need to rely on power . But when your power wasn’t enough, intelligence could save your life . Without Long Chen’s intelligence, they’d have definitely long since died . This clash of principles was quite conflicting .

From the time they saw that light beam, they traveled for a whole week before seeing a distant mountain .

The mountain was huge and pitch-black . Its circ.u.mference was in the tens of thousands of miles, but it wasn’t steep . It was like a huge pile of dirt . However, it was so huge that it was shocking .

When they saw this mountain, Long Chen, Bao Buping, and Chang Hao felt a suffocating feeling . It was like the mountain was trying to crush them flat .

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they felt like they were about to cough up blood from looking at the mountain .

“This mountain is way too sinister . How is it giving off such an evil feeling?” Bao Buping gulped and cursed .

Just at this moment, the mountain quivered and a majestic aura suddenly soared .

Chang Hao and Bao Buping suddenly took out two hollow rocks and hid the three of them inside . The rocks were specifically made by Long Chen . When they ran into certain situations, the rocks could save their lives . Their edges had been ground down to be seamless . No one would suspect the rocks were anything but ordinary .

In an extremely unremarkable part of the rocks were three small holes . The three of them could see outside through them .

Long Chen saw a set of golden armor slowly rising on the mountain . A ray of light illuminated it, and a huge projection shot into the distance . That direction was Devil Spirit Mountain’s entrance .

“That’s a terrifying Ancestral item . ” Bao Buping stared at the armor enviously .

But as the armor slowly rose, Long Chen saw a single thin chain binding it .

“As expected, it was bait, and we’re the fish . ” Chang Hao cursed when he saw the chain .

Clearly, this Ancestral item armor was bait this world’s creatures had put out in order to draw more people over and then kill them .
