Chapter 435 - Of Rain and Tears (Part-1) (1/2)
”EVERYONE READY!”
As Ryuu shouted out he received a plethora of shouts of agreement and a few nods came to Ryuu's ears and eyes as he activated multiple arrays, the array's function was simple it would scan the area and find out a possible route through the wall of flames.
He had once again asked his fellow companions of creating parts of seals on each island, it had taken almost half a day and by then they had managed to cover quite a bit of the island but unknown to all Ryuu had been busy, while others were busy copying the arrays that Ryuu had been busy placing the arrays with a touch on as many Island as possible and their fruits of labour were ripe and ready to be plucked.
Ryuu once again used the Array Weaving method as he activated the entire array cl.u.s.ter as which suddenly shone in a bright turquoise light, for a moment before everyone felt as if continuous drafts of cold air began to pass through them.
Ryuu's brow furrowed as he paid undivided attention towards his array, 'Damn so far there is no way through the wall of flames, and the flames look extremely dangerous, I fear that those Preta Lok cultivators might end up killing a good few of them while trying to find the correct way, I hope this is only a maze made up of flames and not some kind of door that can only be opened from inside the giant worm-like creature.'
He waited and waited as more and more frown began to form on his face, 'We are wasting too much time, too much if we wait the Preta Lok would be here as such I have to hurry.'
”Found a way, it is difficult but I believe we can navigate through it easily to reach our goal.”, Ryuu then looked towards Chianyu as he spoke, ”Did you remember to destroy the clue that would lead them to the next level.”
Chianyu nodded as he spoke, ”Yes Daoist brother Severing Saber did the honour.”
Ryuu nodded as he spoke, ”Good, it would buy us some time.”
”Are you going to engage similar traps like that you used in the previous level to separate the hostages from their captors?”
Ryan shook his head as he spoke, ”No it would definitely fail not to mention the dangers in front of us, so I will have to improvise even then I am afraid to use something those mongrels have a penchant for using their hostages to scout out problems as such I fear that they might use them to test the traps and seeing such a dangerous flame in front of us, I am kind of hesitant.”
Chianyu sighed as he spoke, ”I understand.”
Ryuu gave him a weak smile as he turned towards others as he spoke, ”Everyone this route is difficult to transverse as we will have to move one by one, please keep your eyes opened if you do not wish to suffer death, I urge you all to move forward no matter what happens, and do not stop just keep moving.”
True-Spear frowned at that as he spoke, ”Are you sure it is safe?”
Ryuu gave him the most innocent smile as he could manage as he spoke, ”Nope.”
A stunned silence descended upon the group before the cry of dismay rose all around the place while Ryuu looked with a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt in his eyes before it became full of annoyance.
”Are you all done? Can we move forward?”
”But…”
As a few protested Ryan let out a snarl as he spoke, ”Can anyone tell me which part of Eden is safe?”
As everyone calmed down at his question Ryuu could not help but speak with a snort, ”Thought so.”
'I am dealing with children, why do I have to push them on every turn, maybe I should not after all only I am in urgent need to move forward… Nah, I am more important but mostly we are already at the forefront with the blasted Preta charging behind us.'
”I am leading stay close.”
Frost Flames quickly followed after him as did the rest of his group moving one by one disappearing into the mystifying fiery maze, while others simply looked at each other before joining them one by one.
