Chapter 238: Chapter 207 Blue Crystal Ray_1
“Are you sure this will work?”
The Puppet Cat stared at the Great Array before it, expressing its doubt.
“Whether or not it works, let’s just give it a try first!”
Xu Mu inserted the last Spirit Stone in the formation, stood up and looked at the Puppet Cat: “Senior, do you really not know the power of the beast on the mountain?”
“I’ve already said it many times! If I knew, would I need to hide it from you?” The Puppet Cat replied reluctantly.
“It can’t be more than tier nine, can it?”
The further he advanced in his cultivation, the larger the gap between each level became. If it was a tier nine Monster beast, with his various trump cards, he could still put up a bit of a fight.
If it was comparable to a tier ten Nascent Soul Stage, all he could do would be to meet his death head-on.
The Nascent Soul Stage, to ordinary people, was like a land immortal. Not only does it have a lifespan of thousands of years, but it also possesses Divine Skills such as teleportation and possession.
Even the weakest Nascent Soul Stage was tens to hundreds of times stronger than the best Golden Core Stage.
This is why a single Nascent Soul Stage could establish a Super School and occupy tens of thousands of miles of territory.
“Rest assured, Master didn’t send you here to die! It definitely won’t be more than tier nine!”
Upon hearing the Puppet Cat’s assurance, Xu Mu felt a bit more at ease.
He placed his hands on the formation and began to infuse it with Spiritual Power, activating the formation.
The red glow of spiritual power spread outwards like a bloodline, quickly covering the entire Great Array.
All its power converged onto a mirror-like Magic Artifact at its center.
When the power of the formation was at its peak, a huge white pillar of light suddenly shot out from the mirror and pierced the sky.
The dank, dark space within a radius of ten miles was instantly illuminated.
Both the man and the cat quickly distanced themselves from the formation, nervously watching the insects swarming in the distance.
Attracted by the light, the swarms of insects initially circling the mountains began to stir, and then moved en masse towards the light.
“It worked!”
Xu Mu was overjoyed.
When he noticed the brilliance emitting from the mountains, he guessed that these insects might have been lured by this light.
As it turned out, it was indeed the case.
Insects will always be insects; no matter how formidable they are, they can’t change their love for light.
Once most of the insects were drawn away, the hidden mountain finally revealed its form.
The mountain was over a hundred feet tall, and very steep. It was filled with blue crystals.
The light that he had glimpsed through the swarm of insects was emanating from these blue crystals. Compared to the brilliance he had evoked with the Great Array, the glow of these blue crystals was much dimmer.
“Let’s go!”
Once most of the insects were drawn away, they started to move, flying towards the big mountain filled with blue crystals.
The bright Great Array was a temporary modification of his, with only a tier five, it would not last long under the siege of numerous bugs. Therefore, he had to act quickly, aiming for a swift victory.
Just as he was about to land at the foot of the mountain, the Puppet Cat jumped down from his shoulder.
“I’m too weak, I wouldn’t be of much help if I went there. I won’t be a hindrance!”
Having said that, the Puppet Cat drilled into the ground and disappeared in an instant.
Xu Mu looked at the spot where the cat had disappeared, his eyes flickered for a moment, then he continued to fly towards the mountain.
With his Divine Intent sweeping out, he quickly detected a presence hidden halfway up the mountain.
At the same time, the presence also detected him.
A monster beast, more than ten feet tall with fins on its back and a body covered with thick white fur, resembling a fox, slowly emerged from a cave halfway up the mountain.
It leapt onto a huge stone in front of the cave. Its fur fluttered in the wind, and it looked down on the approaching Xu Mu from its pair of blue eyes.
When they were about thirty feet apart, Xu Mu suddenly stopped. Then he flicked his sleeve, launching several red lines that flew towards the White Fox.
With his back against the wall, Xu Mu had no other choices left. For his daughter’s sake, he had to take action, regardless of the opponent’s strength.
Facing the incoming red lines, the White Fox did not choose to evade. Just as they were about to hit him, two beams of blue light suddenly shot out from its eyes, striking the red lines on the spot.
The red lines turned crystalline and blue where they were hit, and the crystallization quickly spread along the lines.
Xu Mu was startled and immediately tried to pull the lines back. However, as soon as he pulled them, they snapped off at the crystallized spots.
