1320 Retrieve the Formation (1/2)
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Once there was not a single evil spirit left within sight, all 48 Blood God Illusions returned to the scroll in Chen Xiaobei's hands and were once again just characters in a painting.
For a moment then, there was a pindrop silence from the crowd.
Chen Xiaobei especially went through a mixture of emotions; shock, delight, unsettledness, and astonishment, that he was given this Spiritual Item. He did not know if he should be feeling happy or worried!
Fortunately, this Spiritual Item only would harm enemies. Had it not be able to differentiate between a friend or a foe, it would have been the most terrifying thing that Chen Xiaobei had ever used and would never use again!
Anyhow, Chen Xiaobei had also decided that once he had helped Luo Puti settle everything in Jingjue Kingdom, the first thing he had to do was to find out who this Ming He was.
”Mr. Chen, what should we do next?” Zhuo Qunfeng asked on behalf of the others.
Right now, not only was Chen Xiaobei their mainstay, but he was also a superior man whom they worshipped and adored! Their unsung hero!
Anything Chen Xiaobei said, they would carry it out without objections.
Every single they did now would have to align with Chen Xiaobei's commands!
”Well, I'll tell you again as what I've told you earlier on, that the road ahead will be even more dangerous!” Chen Xiaobei said. ”I suggest that everyone stays here. I will explore Jingjue Kingdom on my own and once I'm done, I will lead you out of the desert!”
”Alright! We'll do as Mr. Chen says! We'll wait here!”
”Yeah! We'll only be a burden to Mr. Chen if we go with him! It's already safe here. So, we can wait here quietly!”
”Alright! That's decided then!”
Everyone nodded in absolute obedience to Chen Xiaobei's arrangement.
”Xiaobei.” Luo Puti walked up to Chen Xiaobei hesitantly.
”I understand what you mean. Accidentally killing that thousand-eyed evil spirit was never my intention. We can only continue to search for new leads!” Chen Xiaobei said. ”But before that, I will need to dive into this lake and take the Thousand Spirit Formation away!”
”Actually, I have a new dilemma. You go ahead first and retrieve that formation. I'll discuss it with you when you get back!” Luo Puti said.
”Alright! I'll be back very soon!” Chen Xiaobei nodded, put aside his Spiritual Items and dived into the water.
The deep end of the lake was pitch black, and it was so deep that you could not see the bottom of it. Most people would not have been able to go as far as to reach the Formation!
But Chen Xiaobei was an exception. With the Hydrophobe Orb hidden inside his body, Chen Xiaobei's vision was unaffected, and he was even able to breathe and talk underwater.
The Thousand Spirit Formation was positioned at the bottom of the lake. With 810 Formation Cores, most people could only find a few.
But because he had the Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes, Chen Xiaobei was able to find the concealed, special objects with just one glance!
Instead of rushing over to take the items away, he took his time to determine the positions of all Formation Cores.
In case his memory failed him, Chen Xiaobei took out his Dami 17 waterproof interstellar cellphone and used the built-in cartographic software to record the position of each Formation Cores. He even did a detailed marking on each location.
What he had drawn was the blueprint of the Thousand Spirit Formation.
All Chen Xiaobei had to do was to follow the drawing, rearrange everything, and thereafter he could build his own Thousand Spirit Formation and become the new master of the Formation.
Once he had a comprehensive documentation of the blueprint written out, Chen Xiaobei began to collect all the items inside each of the 810 Formation Cores.
