Chapter 56: Two Side of A Coin
The Twin Fury Lion’s two heads looked at the Trapping Array Formation and let out an enraged howl.
Its eyes turned crimson and glared at the puny human a couple of feet from its location, preparing to charge forward.
Only to be constricted, this was a Peak Grade-1 Trapping Array Formation. If Jun Wu had been the heart of the formation, it might be possible for the Twin Fury Lion to break the formation, but now...
The spirit stone’s continuous supply of energy made it impossible for any ruin beast below Tier-2 or First Rated Martial Artist to break.
However, instead of feeling despair, the Twin Fury Lion growled with fury, baring its fangs at Jun Wu.
Watching this, Jun Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He discovered using himself as the array formation core and using spirit stone was vastly different.
There was little his Blood Qi could supply, but with spirit stone, it was endless without any backlash.
As long as there were enough spirit stones, the array formation could continue running.
"When I return, I must find a way where I can swiftly set up an array formation."
Although he could instant-cast an array formation, its power could not compare with setting up a real array formation.
Not dwelling on the thought any longer, he looked at the enraged beast and sneered.
"Begone!" He commanded and activated the Blazing Spear Array Formation.
Bang! Bang!
Under the attack of the Blazing Spear, the Twin Fury Lion could only roar in fury before it was killed.
Looking at the corpse of the Twin Fury Lion covered in blood with various deep injuries forming holes, its intestine was pulverized, flowing out continuously.
Jun Wu sucked in a cold breath. Compared to before, the spirit stone-powered Blazing Spear formation was far deadlier.
Shaking his head, Jun Wu canceled the Trapping Array and extracted the Twin Fury Soul Core.
To his shock, the Twin Fury Lion had two soul cores. Additionally, they were a lot bigger than any ordinary Tier-1 Beast.
’This is a Peak Tier-1 Ruin Beast,’ he mused and grinned.
A Peak Tier-1 Ruin Beast could easily overpower many First Rated Martial Artists, but with array formations, he could handle them with ease, though he was a lot weaker.
Just thinking of this made his blood surge. He vowed to become a Grade-2 Array Formation Master as soon as he left the ruin.
With the Twin Fury Lion killed, he was finally able to check where he was.
His eyes wandered around and finally settled on piles of human skeletons at the end of the room.
Curious, he approached the skeletons with his defensive formation up. Behind his defensive formation, he held his Runic Revolver, ready to shoot.
However, when his feet touched the skeletons, they dissolved into dust. Watching this, Jun Wu was stunned.
He could not imagine how long these skeletons had been stuck in this room.
Looking through the skeletons, he discovered they were covering a hidden passage. With the skeletons turning into dust, the passage became open.
Taking a deep breath, Jun Wu entered the hidden passage, following the steps downward.
At the end of the stairs, Jun Wu appeared inside a smaller room. Scattered on the ground were numerous rare metal ores.
Among them, he discovered a small box containing spirit stones. Although half of the spirit stones had already lost their spiritual energy, the remaining ones were enough for Jun Wu to drop his jaw.
Quickly, he packed everything into his spatial pouch. A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
Indeed, danger and fortune worked hand in hand.
Just as he prepared to leave, he found an armor recklessly placed in the corner of the room. He reached out his hand and picked up the armor, only to discover it was lightweight.
"What a special armor!" he exclaimed.
Looking at the armor carefully, he discovered it was covered in runes. With the runes, he knew the lightweight armor would be at least Mortal Grade.
Without hesitating, he wore the light armor under his chest, feeling a sense of security.
He searched the room once more in case he missed anything but found none. Pleased, he left the room, climbing up the stairs.
Coming out from the hidden stairs, Jun Wu halted in his tracks. Standing a couple of feet from him were hundreds of dark skeletons staring back at him.
Feeling the evil aura emanating from their bodies, he shuddered. Gripping his Runic Revolver tightly, he stared firmly at the exit at the other end.
To escape, he needed to pass through the hordes of dark skeletons.
Thud! Thud!
The dark skeletons approached him, raising their weapons. Around them, the dark evil energy swirled as if trying to devour everything.
Confidently, he walked toward the dark skeletons with an expressionless face, but in his mind, he was calculating.
When half of the dark skeletons entered the trapping array formation, he activated it without hesitation.
Instantly, half of the dark skeletons were trapped and a blazing spear appeared over them, attacking them.
Soul-rending screams came from the dark skeletons, sending shivers down Jun Wu’s spine.
He dashed forward, summoning his defensive formation and shooting the few remaining dark skeletons.
Bang! Bang!
Some of the skeletons were hit, blasted backward, but that was all.
Fearlessly, the skeletons did not retreat but kept on walking toward him. Jun Wu’s heart tightened, but he did not retreat.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Six wind blades appeared, cutting through the horde of skeletons, paving a narrow path to escape.
Whoosh!
Jun Wu pushed his speed to the limit as he rushed through the dark skeletons. Although his speed was fast, a few of the skeletons still struck him.
Bang! Bang!
His defensive formation trembled, cracks spreading quickly. Apart from that, he noticed the dark energy was corroding the formation at a visible speed.
Boom!
Behind him, the trapping formation shattered and the skeletons were released.
Shocked, Jun Wu did not dare linger inside the room as he rushed out. Behind him, the dark skeletons were in hot pursuit, but their speed was a little bit slower.
Just as he thought he had escaped, the path before him was cut off, leaving nothing but darkness.
He tried to stop, but it was too late...
