Chapter 1067: Preparations (1/2)

Sam looked at the large dome formation and was stunned.

He took off on the harbinger to reach a high enough altitude and activated energy vision to see what exactly is going on.

When saw some details within the formation, he couldn't help but feel surprised. The whole formation is actually being power by the valley walls in the surroundings and it didn't stop there, the formation is actually hiding many things within which cannot be seen from this far away.

He needs more information, but the small fry that Tamas caught didn't have much information, he only knew about the ice goblins, the cannons they created, the city migration due to the prophecy. As for why this exact location and what this formation is, he had no idea.

They would need to get their hands on one of the decently high-level members in the Demi-Giants family.

He turned to the Night Ghost and said.

”Can you catch one of them? I need memories of an elder-level person.”

”I can, but before that, we actually need to clash with the formation once, otherwise it would be impossible to catch anyone. For some reason, I have a bad premonition about this formation. It is unlike all the formations we have seen thus far.

It is completely different. But I cannot say how.”

”Why do you think I wanted to get more information? The formation is different indeed and there is a connection with the valley walls. Since we definitely know that these people know about us, this might be a tailor-made trap just for us. I don't want to go in blindly, but if there is no other way, we can only do that.”

Sam spoke and went into deep thought before saying.

”Attack with varying ranged attacks. Just try and probe what the formation and those cannons are all about. Meanwhile, I will go and get on to the top of the valley walls and see what is so special about them.”

”But boss, the walls are extremely high and the temperature in the surroundings is already cold, do you think you can handle it?”

”It is not a problem. I have my means. Get ready.”

With that Sam immediately flew off on Sky's back. He created a thin barrier with fire element around them to defend against the cold winds, even with their power level they wouldn't be able to take the cold winds at high altitudes.

The valley walls are extremely tall, they are around a thousand meters high, essentially the valley is only a small groove in a large mountain.

Sam flew over and looked for a place to land, after finding a protrusion from the wall, he landed there and let Sky into the divine dimension instantly. He placed his arm on the wall and tried to use the observation energy.

He was stunned to see the amount of ice elemental energy inside the ice walls. It is not just pure, but extremely dense too.

If one chunk of the ice in the size of spirit stone was taken from this wall, the energy inside it would be at least ten times more than the actual ice elemental spirit stone.

He tried to pry a piece out of it, but it is highly resistant to physical attacks. He can clearly understand why the demi giants chose this place.

The remaining three sides are inaccessible for the enemies and only one side is needed to be defended properly.

He used a small energy cell and stuck it to the wall before going to the back of the sky and moving far away.

*BOOM*

Even though the explosion occurred, there is minimal damage on the wall, but he managed to get some small pieces that he could examine later.

After checking for some more time, he went back to the camp.

The team already returned and Tamas is currently performing a ritual on the dead body of a Demi-Giant. Everyone had a solemn expression.

Night Ghost immediately walked towards Sam and started the report.

”Boss, the situation is difficult than we thought, it is hard to break the formation. It has extreme ice elemental energy. We tried our best to break the formation. They really didn't know about my late-stage cultivation.

But even after we broke past the formation, the first thing that came to obstruct us is not the elder, rather they are ghosts.

We don't where these ghosts came from, but they have ice elemental energy and they are using it damn well.
