Chapter 1542: Chapter 358_3
Just like us, when we see those dead bodies, we also want to take the treasures. Even though we know these people died, and there must be danger on the island, we also thought that flying to the island and using the void to absorb those treasures would suffice.
However, probably no one would have thought that after flying over the island, they would uncontrollably fall down. Fortunately, that person flew over ahead of us; otherwise, we would all be dead!”
“So, entering this new perilous land, we must be cautious, extremely cautious.”
Cao Zhen landed on the island, first searching around, quickly flipping over all the dead bodies. Fortunately, there were no people from the Hundred Peaks Sect. Then, he collected all the Qiankun Bags and treasures from these corpses.
Among them was that dead oddball; the oddball didn’t have a Qiankun Bag, and was not using treasures, but he did have a very fine third-grade Immortal Mine.
He discovered that there were even more corpses here than he had seen before; the entire island had a total of thirty corpses.
“Thirty corpses, twenty of them have treasures. Even if there aren’t great gains from the island itself, just taking these treasures is sufficient.”
While searching, Cao Zhen sighed, “However, there are a total of nine passageways here. Besides that oddball Xiang Ziyu, everyone else should’ve entered through these nine passageways.
This is only one-ninth of the people entering the ruins, and after entering, not everyone would necessarily fly towards this place. If flying, they might also avoid that island.
Yet, thirty people still met their end here, so just how many people entered this island?”
Cao Zhen, deep in thought, searched the entire island but still found nothing special about it.
“That pulling force could forcibly drag me down and cause the immortal energy within me to momentarily stagnate. There’s definitely something strange on the island. If not above, then it’s underground!”
Cao Zhen soared into the air, a massive Immortal Mountain appearing behind him.
Under his illusions and various spells, his Immortal Mountain looked like it was only about fifty zhang high.
The next moment, streams of immortal power gathered in his hands and he slammed them down onto the ground below.
Immediately, thunderous ‘boom’ sounds erupted continuously, the ground kept cracking, revealing bunches of Man-eating Flowers beneath.
These Man-eating Flowers seemed to want to evade, but then, streams of lightning and balls of flame fell from the void, covering the entire island.
The island was really too close to the passage, and people were continuously flying out from the passage. As a result, they had just flown out when they heard the thunderous sounds, and many people looked over out of curiosity.
“Who is this person? What is he doing?”
“Attacking an island?”
“Is there something on the island?”
“What is this person thinking? Attacking an island for no reason?”
“However, his aura is so strong!”
“Don’t waste time, we are already late to this place, those from the Eastern Wasteland have surely already entered the dangerous land. Who knows how many treasures they’ve picked up. There’s no need to bother with him, let’s go!”
Many people cast only a few glances before leaving hastily, but still, some stood by, analyzing out of curiosity.
“This person’s aura is so strong, he’s certainly not an ordinary Earth Immortal Realm cultivator. People enter dangerous lands for treasures; this person must have discovered something to attack the island.”
“Maybe, there are Unknown Immortal Demon Beads inside!”
“Yes, it’s very possible! Keep watching, see if there’s anything peculiar!”
Cao Zhen discovered that this island was much more resilient than an ordinary island. If it were ordinary ground, it would have been blasted away by now.
As it is, he has only demolished half of the island.
Suddenly, a ray of light abruptly shot from the blasted, fragmented part of the island.
“There’s a Formation!”
Cao Zhen’s eyes narrowed, he quickly descended and began studying it.
In the distance, several people who had stayed watching for some time looked at each other helplessly.
“So, there really aren’t any treasures, but instead, there’s a Formation inside?”
“Others set up a Grand Formation, and while we could study and learn something from it, who knows how long it would take. Researching formations inside here? What Formation could be worth such study?”
“Forget it, let’s not stir up trouble. You saw the spells he used to attack the island earlier; they were Yellow Grade spells. Moreover, with his strong aura, if we go over there, it would definitely displease him, and there’s no need to create a conflict now.”
“I thought there were Unknown Immortal Demon Beads!”
“Let’s go!”
Many Earth Immortal Realm cultivators hanging around the surroundings quickly flew away. They originally thought there were treasures on the island, and if so, with so many people there, who knows if anyone would make a move. Once someone took action, the remaining people would too, and the treasures might fall into their hands.
Even if they couldn’t seize it, confirming there were treasures on the island would allow them to try attacking it.
As it turns out, it’s just a Formation.
Cao Zhen didn’t pay attention to those leaving, but instead continued to study the Formation before him. Counting the people he was connected with, there really were quite a few skilled in Formations, such as the Golden Light Sage, Old Zhang, and Liu Zheng.
