Fish in Troubled Waters
“Got it!” Xiaoshuai immediately caught on to Mu Yu’s plan and sped off with the ten formation foundations to the tree standing on the left of the cavern.
Mu Yu surveyed the terrain for an ideal spot to cast his formation. Once he gave Xiaoshuai the signal, Xiaoshuai buried the formation foundations underground a few metres up ahead and drew up the formation. From inside a tree, Mu Yu extended a tree branch to carve a formation on the cliff face, making sure not to alert any of the enemies. Together, the duo had the entire cavern sitting in a formation.
“Done. Xiaoshuai, can you replicate the dragon vine’s usual voice?”
Xiaoshuai returned to Mu Yu’s shoulder and answered, “Easy. Don’t forget I know many fiend beasts’ language.”
“Remember to sound like an epic boss to lure the two Body Synthesis Realm cultivators here,” instructed Mu Yu, starting to activate the formations whilst plotting how to deal with the enemies.
“Don’t worry. I sound epically more epic than Dragon Vine,” assured Xiaoshuai, clearing his throat.
Several Spirit Severing Realm cultivators brought back two level six fiend beasts and prepared to extract their vital essence, when they suddenly heard a loud howl.
“What the?!”
Ghost Gate’s group saw two black dragons that Mu Yu conjured soar past the top of the cavern and glare daggers at them.
“Dragon vines,” shouted Gui Hongyu, delighted. “They look even stronger than the one I captured.”
A Body Synthesis Realm cultivator directed, “Given the size of Moyun Mountains, we shouldn’t be surprised even if there were more of them. Capture them!”
The dragons blasted the Body Severing Realm cultivators back to the floor as the latter rose into the air. The Spirit Severing Realm cultivators, fortunately, were fast enough to avoid the blasts.
Mu Yu’s two fake dragon vines were bestowed an anti-ghost-mist corrosion quality, allowing them to even absorb the mist. By the time the cultivators realised something was wrong, they were already swatted off the grid. Wood Spirit’s death qi tormented them to hell and back.
Trees sprouted from the ground in the cavern, spawning black branches. The green leaves that touched the skeletons regenerated the loss fresh, thereby reviving them.
“Where are these trees coming from? Why are the fiend beasts coming back to life?”
“Is the enemy an elemental demon?”
The two Body Synthesis Realm cultivators rose to join the fray; however, an explosion blasted twenty-plus Body Severing Realm disciples out of the sky, limbs and organs strewn.
“Hongyu, hide the captured dragon vine. Gui Shan, let’s go capture the dragon vines,” a Body Synthesis Realm cultivator suggested.
Gui Hongyu trapped the dragon vine back in her bottle. Something perturbed her, but her seeing the two Body Synthesis Realm cultivators, Gui Wa and Gui Shan, provided reassurance.
The revived fiend beasts caught the Body Severing Realm cultivators focused on the sky by surprise, sending them to their backs. As soon as the cultivators were incapacitated, tree branches grew off the cliff face and cuffed the cultivators. The death qi from the branches took their lives, spiritual energy and souls.
Gui Wa and Gui Shan found themselves in a forest. Gui Wa used his touch senses to decipher the trick and notified, “This is an illusion formation. I suppose this means True God’s disciple has come to us.”
“Gui Wa, Gui Hongyu has the dragon vine!”
The two sped back, but Mu Yu already accounted for that, ensuring the formation trapped them. With slim chances of locating the formation foundation or formation core, Gui Wa spawned a big axe and opted for his third option: hacking away with brute force until the formation crumbled.
Boom! The ground and formation couldn’t withstand the force of Gui Wa’s bash, consequently cracking. Boom! The second swing busted the formation lines, blinding them both in a blinding white light.
“Rippling light” was a blinding venom, stealing vision with a blinding light. Mu Yu wasn’t going to make the same mistake he made at Floating Celestial Island and blind himself a second time.
As Body Synthesis Realm cultivators, Gui Wa and Gui Shan only needed seconds to restore their visual via excretion through spiritual energy. By the time they returned to the cavern, though, their people were rolling on the ground with their hands over their eyes.
“Where’s Gui Hongyu?!”
The trees already vanished, and the revived fiend beasts were back to bones on the ground.
“Get your bottoms off the ground, and find Mu Yu!” Gui Wa belted.
