As the trio activated the trap in Dafo Temple, they obtained an item wrapped in yellow cloth, and during that time, the quiet Buddha statues started to move suddenly to surround the three players at the center. They began moving quickly, and each Arhat Buddha statue used their hands and feet to put on different postures.
What caused the trio to remain still for a long moment was that the presence of the countless Arhat Buddha statues released was that of elites at the beginning stage of Myth Realm, and all of them faced the same spot to stare at the trio.
“Arhat formation!”
“Damn it, why didn’t I think of this in the start…” The female trap master was so anxious that she broke out in sweat. If she had the chance to make a choice once more, she would definitely destroy these seemingly solemn and sacred looking Buddha statues without hesitation.
At the very least, then they will only need to face a group of broken stones and not an Arhat formation made by more than one thousand Arhat Buddha statues with extraordinary presences.
“Wh-what should we do now?”
The other two did not expect that they would run into such a large trap once they obtained their quest item. They were already dumbfounded, and they stuttered when they spoke.
“They don’t seem like they’re going to take the initiative to attack.
As expected of the woman, she was indeed a trap master who could consider every detail when she thought about solving problems. After staying for a while on the spot, she quickly noticed the abnormality among these Arhat Buddha statues. While they seemed frightening, based on the pattern of their movements, it was clear that they would not take even half a step forward.
“Let me see…”
This discovery allowed the trio to feel ecstatic.
The female trap master took a few steps forward tentatively.
“They’re moving because of the item in our hands. Yellow Clock, take a few steps to that side.”
Once the female trap master gave her orders, the trio swiftly figured out that only the person with the yellow luggage would have the Arhat Buddha statues’ hostility directed at them.
The other two would not stir up any reaction from the Arhat Buddha statues no matter how close they were to them.
The female trap master said, “I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the two of you can leave this Arhat Formation safely, and you won’t be attacked. The bad news is that if you want to bring the item out of the Arhat Formation, you will either have to slaughter your way out, or die inside.”
“There are more than one thousand Arhat Buddha statues here. If we slaughter our way out, we’ll have to endure more than attacks from at least one hundred Myth Realm martial artists within a short period of time…”
“Why don’t we go out first, and you toss the item out to us later?” One of them suggested.
The female trap master rolled her eyes.
“You sure are idealistic. Forget about how those Arhat Buddha statues will definitely stop you. Even if you toss it, how far do you think you can even throw it?”
As they stared at the Arhat Buddha statues that stretched out for hundreds of feet, the trio fell into silence once more.
“Should we destroy them?”
“You can try,” the female trap master answered while she subconsciously rolled her eyes.
Even if they could destroy these Arhat Buddha statues, who were at Myth Realm, they would still need to spend a lot of time doing so. Besides, if they somehow activated the Arhat Formation, the situation would become worse for them.
“We can’t just continue waiting! Evil King will come back soon!”
The trio were a little anxious.
The female trap master asked, “Where is Luo Zhiheng?”
“He’s waiting to receive us outside. I think he has gone off to check that guy’s corpse. He’d take advantage of every opportunity he could to gain benefits for himself, and he’ll definitely not miss the opportunity to get the items that guy dropped.”
“Send him a messenger pigeon and tell him to pay attention to the Evil “King’s movements!”
“Alright!”
*****
While the trio were trapped by the Arhat Formation formed by more than one thousand Arhat Buddha statues, the trio’s other companion was sizing up the person who was about to die but was not dead yet, and he did so with the curiosity of a cat.
His chest had clearly been pierced through by a sword thrust, and blood was everywhere on the ground, but Luo Zhiheng discovered to his incredible shock that this person, who should have turned into a blurry mess by now, still stood where he was and did not fall. His chest would even move up and down after a long while. Hence, he could forget about ever hoping for the person’s face to become blurry. While he looked unfamiliar, his features were still very clear. All this showed that this person who had just endured a fatal sword thrust from Empress Yin was still alive!
“Is your spirit animal a cockroach or something…? Why aren’t you dead yet?”
Luo Zhiheng stared at the person in front of him and felt very gloomy.
‘Why?’
He had originally intended to think of stealing something from this person because his equipment was extraordinary, but he did not think that even after waiting for so long, this person had not died just yet.
This caused him to be conflicted.
He came here to steal something from a dead person. He was not here to kill!
This person seemed like he was in a terrible condition and seemed no different from the dead, to the point that he looked like he would die with just one poke.
But if he killed this person right now, he might end up getting himself a powerful enemy out of the blue.
It was clearly not worth it to get something random which might or might not be a fourth-echelon demon vessel and provoke a powerful enemy who seemed very powerful.
Luo Zhiheng stubbornly stood by the side and waited for the person to die naturally. If he did that, when this person went into the cycle of reincarnation, he will not see any of Luo Zhiheng’s information, and he could not come causing trouble to Luo Zhiheng.
However, after he waited for a period of time, he discovered that this person clung to life as stubbornly as a cockroach.
The terrifying, fatal wound had actually started to stop bleeding and start healing.
Even though his breathing was still as weak as a candle flame facing a violent gust of wind and his heart would only beat once after a long while, he was still getting better than the beginning.
This discovery caused Luo Zhiheng to feel so gloomy that he nearly rolled his eyes.
“Well, aren’t you cruel?”
Luo Zhiheng prepared himself to leave in disappointment.
Then, at that moment, the rumbling sounds from Arhat Formation attracted his attention.
He snapped into attention, and Luo Zhiheng saw a broken wall before he jumped on it and looked at the situation at the formation from the distance.
When he saw what was going on, his eyes instantly became bloodshot.
“What the heck?! Is this a joke?!”
The angry, imposing presence from the Arhat Formation made it look like a giant meat grinder, and anyone who looked at it from the distance would definitely be terrified.
