Chapter 118: Those Two Brats Have Disappeared?
Chu Xin stared at the formation barrier in front of her, lost in thought. Her Dad had given her so many treasures that it took some time to find the right one.
After a moment, her big eyes, hidden behind the phoenix mask, suddenly lit up. She giggled and shouted, “Found it!”
The next moment, a talisman appeared in her hand.
“Formation Melting Talisman, it’s you.”
Chu Xin muttered softly and stuck the talisman onto the formation barrier.
Buzz!
A strange energy fluctuation rippled out, vibrating at a peculiar frequency on the formation barrier.
The so-called Formation Melting Talisman worked by identifying the vibration frequency of the energy on the formation barrier, merging with it, and then opening a passage through the formation.
This Formation Melting Talisman could only be effective at the weak points of the formation barrier, so it had to be used in conjunction with the Formation Compass.
“Go!”
Chu Xin waved her small, fair hand and walked in with her head held high, like a victorious female general returning from battle.
Chu Chen, grabbing the little two-headed pig’s dragon tail, also stepped into the formation passage.
After the two of them and the pig entered, the formation passage closed.
“Are they not even going to let us rest?”
The prodigies wanted to close their eyes and rest to prepare for the upcoming battle for the Stone Milk, but even when they closed their eyes and blocked their hearing, the image of the two brats with their butts sticking out, waving their little hoes and digging, still appeared in their minds, and they couldn’t get rid of it.
“This is really strange.”
The prodigies looked at each other speechlessly.
“By the way, how deep did those two brats dig? Why is there no sound at all?”
A prodigy asked curiously.
How deep did they dig?
That was a good question.
The prodigies extended their spiritual senses to investigate, but they found that the ground of this Divine Saber Valley had some special energy that suppressed their spiritual senses, making it impossible to probe underground.
“Shall we go down and take a look?”
A prodigy suggested.
Although most of the prodigies expressed no interest, a few were curious and entered the tunnel.
“Holy crap, these two brats are really persistent. They must have dug more than a hundred feet deep.”
The prodigies who entered the tunnel walked for a long time before reaching the end, and they couldn’t help but admire the two brats’ perseverance.
“By the way, where are those two brats?”
The prodigies looked at each other.
Now that the tunnel had reached its end and the formation barrier was right in front of them, they didn’t see the two brats.
“Could they have entered the formation?”
A prodigy touched the formation barrier and looked inside, but the barrier blocked his view, and he couldn’t see anything inside.
“That’s impossible. The formation barrier is still intact, which means the formation hasn’t been broken. They couldn’t have entered the formation,” another prodigy refuted the speculation.
“Let’s go back to the surface first,” a prodigy suggested.
“Alright!”
The group returned to the surface through the tunnel and informed everyone that the two brats had disappeared.
“Perhaps they used a Spatial Teleportation Talisman to teleport directly inside?” a prodigy guessed.
“There are two types of Spatial Teleportation Talismans: random teleportation and fixed-point teleportation. Random teleportation is uncertain; you don’t know where you’ll end up. Fixed-point teleportation requires the spatial coordinates of the destination. This formation isolates the inside from the outside, so they obviously couldn’t have obtained the spatial coordinates inside the formation,” another prodigy quickly refuted this guess. “Most importantly, this is an ancient formation. Even a Saint-level teleportation talisman is unlikely to teleport directly inside. Unless those two brats have an Emperor-level teleportation talisman.”
◈◈◈
“Emperor-level teleportation talisman? Even a talisman sacred ground like the Divine Talisman Sect doesn’t have many of those. And I’ve never heard of the Divine Talisman Sect having two such brat prodigies. Other talisman forces probably can’t produce Emperor-level teleportation talismans,” someone added.
“And if they had an Emperor-level teleportation talisman, why bother digging a tunnel? They could have teleported directly inside from the entrance of the Stone Milk Cave,” another person pointed out.
The prodigies discussed among themselves.
“In that case, where did those two brats go?”
At this question, the prodigies fell silent.
Qin Tian’s group of three and Long Shaoyu’s group of three looked at each other. They all had a bold guess in their hearts: those two brats had probably really passed through the formation barrier and entered the Stone Milk Cave.
Although this guess was incredible, they had a feeling it was true.
Any incredible thing that happened to those two brats seemed to become reasonable.
“Everyone, how about we join forces to attack and break this formation barrier?” Fu Yunxiao hesitated for a moment but still stood up and made the suggestion.
He was almost certain that the two brats had already entered the Stone Milk Cave. Based on his understanding of those two bandit brats, they would definitely loot all the Stone Milk inside the cave.
If they waited for the formation barrier to open normally, they wouldn’t be able to get the Divine Saber Milk, and they wouldn’t even get a single drop of ordinary Stone Milk.
To obtain the Stone Milk, even the Divine Saber Milk, they had to enter the Stone Milk Cave in advance.
However, his suggestion was not met with agreement from the other prodigies.
Instead, the prodigies looked at Fu Yunxiao as if he were an idiot. This was an ancient formation that existed in the Ancient God Realm, used to defend against the attacks of gods.
Even though the formation had weakened countless times over the years, it was still not something that Martial Venerables like them and one or two young Martial Saints could break.
Anyone who could come up with such a suggestion must have had their brain eaten by a pig.
Seeing the expressions of the prodigies, Fu Yunxiao could only sit back down awkwardly and cursed in his heart, “Just wait until you go in and find that the Stone Milk is gone. I’ll see if you can still be so calm then.”
“These three look familiar.”
Long Shaoyu glanced at Fu Yunxiao’s group of three and frowned slightly.
“Young Master, these three also went to the Divine Sword Pavilion before,” the square-faced youth reminded him.
Previously, at the Divine Sword Pavilion, Long Shaoyu’s attention was on Hua Wuqing and Lang Tianya, and he only glanced at the other prodigies.
However, the square-faced youth and the archer’s attention was on the other prodigies, so they were naturally more familiar with Fu Yunxiao’s group.
Long Shaoyu nodded in realization and said in a low voice, “That guy seems very certain that the two brats have already entered the Stone Milk Cave. These three seem to be quite familiar with those two brats.”
He thought for a moment and walked over to Fu Yunxiao’s group with the square-faced youth and the archer.
“May I know your name, sir?” Long Shaoyu asked, cupping his fists.
“Long…”
Seeing Long Shaoyu, Fu Yunxiao and his two companions were startled and quickly stood up to greet him. This was one of the Four Great Young Sword Saints, the Flame Sword Saint, Long Shaoyu!
Although Long Shaoyu was wearing a mask and others couldn’t see his face, Fu Yunxiao’s group had seen Long Shaoyu fight against Hua Wuqing and Lang Tianya at the Divine Sword Pavilion before, so they knew his identity.
“Shh!”
Long Shaoyu raised his hand to stop them, obviously not wanting to reveal his identity here.
Fu Yunxiao understood and changed his words, “Young Master, I am Fu Yunxiao of the Lánzhōu Demon Saber Sect.”
“So it’s a prodigy of the Lánzhōu Demon Saber Sect.”
Long Shaoyu suddenly understood. Although Lánzhōu was the weakest of the Nine Provinces, he had learned about the major forces in Lánzhōu and knew that the Demon Saber Sect was one of the three great powers in Lánzhōu.
