"Boss, look, there's a cave."
Fatty pointed to a spot not far away and shouted.
By now, everyone had seen the cave.
They had been walking through Kunlun Mountain for so long, and this was the first cave they had encountered. It was spotted the moment it appeared.
The cave was more than a hundred meters away from Zhang Tian and the others.
Some snow covered the outer perimeter of the cave.
If they hadn't had sharp eyes, this cave would have been difficult to find.
"Is this the cave we were looking for?"
Shirley Yang asked Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian closed his eyes and sensed for a moment before nodding slightly.
"This cave is the source of the formation's energy. Don't go in yet, everyone. I suspect there's a formation covering the area outside the cave as well."
Zhang Tian said.
The others nodded, not rushing.
Zhang Tian began to move slowly, dropping yellow talismans from his hand.
He used these formations to scout the way.
Formations repelled each other.
It was like different races; some races rejected outsiders, and formations were similar.
As Zhang Tian laid down formations, after walking nearly fifty meters, the formations he had placed suddenly shattered.
At the same time, in the snow in front of the cave entrance, 138 Reading Net.
A platform slowly rose.
The surrounding snow was scattered by the suddenly rising stone platform.
Four stone statues stood at the four corners of the platform, holding spears.
Visually, the statues were at least seven or eight meters tall and two to three meters wide.
The sudden change shocked everyone.
Zhang Tian also stopped what he was doing.
Fortunately, he hadn't taken another step forward, or he would have been trapped by these stone statues.
The rising platform had completely blocked the cave entrance.
There were also some patterns on the platform, clearly array patterns.
"What is that?"
"A giant stone platform? Is it an altar or something?"
Wu Tianzhen was also shocked by the sudden appearance of the scene.
He muttered to himself, his face filled with confusion.
"Judging by its appearance, it's probably not a formation."
"This is likely a guardian platform."
Shirley Yang observed the scene and came to her own conclusion.
After following Zhang Tian and the others for so long, Shirley Yang had gained some understanding of various things.
Hu Bayi nodded in agreement.
"This was likely set up to prevent us from entering."
"Let's wait and see."
After saying that, Zhang Tian had already retreated.
"The entrance is blocked, but it's clear our direction is correct."
"There's definitely a secret here."
Zhang Tian said seriously.
"Little Master Zhang, what are those four stone statues? How do we get past them?"
Wu Tianzhen asked.
"We'll have to try to break the formation. However, now that we've triggered this formation, we have the initiative."
"So, we just need to find the flaw in this formation from the outside, and then we can enter and break it."
Zhang Tian said slowly.
This was the best-case scenario for Zhang Tian.
"Is there anything we can do to help?"
Wu Tianzhen looked at Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian thought for a moment.
"Pay attention to the changes in the formation, and inform me immediately if anything happens."
"Old Hu, you can help me break the formation as well."
Zhang Tian said.
Hu Bayi nodded seriously. Although Hu Bayi wasn't sure if he could help, since Zhang Tian had asked, he didn't say anything more.
However, just as Zhang Tian was about to start breaking the formation, Zhang Qilin slowly walked over.
"Let me try."
Zhang Qilin suddenly said.
"What? Second Brother, don't joke. You're not a formation master."
Fatty quickly grabbed Zhang Qilin, seeing this.
He was afraid of triggering the formation.
Zhang Qilin shook his head slowly.
He didn't know why, but he felt confident.
Zhang Tian frowned slightly at this, but he still waved his hand, telling Fatty to let go of Zhang Qilin.
"Let him try."
Zhang Tian said.
At the same time, Zhang Tian had a bad premonition.
If Zhang Qilin was truly as he suspected, Zhang Tian would find it difficult to make a choice.
Zhang Tian knew that Zhang Qilin had always been inside the final gate, guarding something.
If they went in to break the formation now, Zhang Tian was quite worried about Zhang Qilin.
When he guessed that the final place might be a formation, Zhang Tian had already guessed that Zhang Qilin was the guardian.
Connected to the symbiotic system.
But Zhang Tian dared not think too deeply.
Because the more you think, the more it becomes reality.
Zhang Tian didn't want to see a fight between himself and Zhang Qilin later.
If Zhang Qilin could be replaced by Wu Tianzhen, Zhang Tian would agree with both hands and feet.
But from the current situation, it was impossible.
"I hope there's someone else."
"Or, another creature."
Zhang Tian thought to himself, he could only hope for these things.
Seeing that Fatty wasn't stopping him, Zhang Qilin also stepped forward and walked up.
Upon entering the stone platform.
The eyes of the four statues instantly lit up.
The statues seemed to have come alive, and beams of brilliant light shot from their eyes.
A deep pit was instantly blasted into the ground.
But Zhang Qilin stood still.
He seemed to completely ignore the beam of light.
"My god, boss, second brother has awakened, he's amazing. His body can withstand attacks without a scratch. As expected of second brother."
Fatty praised him incessantly.
Zhang Tian remained silent, his brows furrowed.
Zhang Qilin was acting a bit strangely.
As Zhang Qilin stood in the center of the platform, he took out a small knife.
At first glance, it was clearly the Black Gold Ancient Sword.
As the Black Gold Ancient Sword was drawn across his hand, drops of red blood fell onto the ground.
The stone platform was instantly stained red with blood.
At this moment, the four surrounding stone statues quietly stopped their attacks.
The four statues stood in place.
And the stone platform began to shake.
"What's going on? Why is it restored to its original state just with a few drops of blood from Little Brother?"
Wu Tianzhen was bewildered.
Even Shirley Yang looked at Zhang Qilin.
Her eyes were deep.
"Could that black shadow be..."
Shirley Yang dared not think.
In her prophecy, the group fought a black shadow. Could that black shadow be Zhang Qilin?
Shirley Yang shook her head and quickly dismissed the terrifying thought from her mind.
How could it be Zhang Qilin? Zhang Qilin was Zhang Tian's brother, how could he have been here?
She must have made a mistake in her calculations.
Shirley Yang thought to herself, she would rather believe she had miscalculated than believe that Zhang Qilin was the guardian within.
However, the current situation made Shirley Yang waver.
It was too strange. The shadow and Zhang Qilin overlapped and were too similar.
"Boom."
The stone platform trembled violently.
Then, the stone platform began to descend, and the energy of the formation disappeared.
The giant stone statues also gradually disappeared underground.
"Is it empty underneath?"
Seeing the stone platform disappear, Zhang Tian frowned.
Could the entire Kunlun Mountain actually be hollow inside?
