Stalagmite
These arrays had three functions. Other than helping to refine the Chaotic Origin Spirits, they could also protect some weaker beings. The final function was the teleportation array.
The strength of a Chaotic Origin Expert was on a completely different level from that of an ordinary Chaotic Origin Expert.
In order to prevent others from coming out after completing the Chaotic Origin Reconstruction, the moment they reached the Chaotic Origin Realm, they would be teleported out.
Hui Chen was aware that Luo Zheng had gathered enough Chaotic Origin Spirits. But she did not say anything. It was Luo Zheng's choice whether he was willing to leave or not.
"Naturally not." Luo Zheng shook his head.
Luo Zheng was the core member of this group. If he were to leave, relying on Chou Xue to lead the team to explore the Main Peak?
The risk was too great. It was impossible for him to do so …
Feng Ge and Ling Shuang had a look of understanding. Given their understanding of Luo Zheng, it was impossible for Luo Zheng to abandon these people.
Before the next hurricane arrived, Luo Zheng and the group arrived at the foot of the Main Peak.
This Main Peak looked like a slender mountain from afar. In reality, the area at the bottom of the mountain was not small. There were two caves facing the east of the Main Peak. One cave led upwards and the other led downwards.
Currently, at the entrance of the cave, Luo Zheng took a glance before choosing the path leading upwards.
The Eared Mouse Clan had always been cautious. At the moment they stepped into the Main Peak, Hui Chen once again drove those Rock Rats into the cave.
The cave in the Main Peak was narrow at first. But after walking for a few dozen meters or so, it opened up. The space within was much bigger than what they had imagined.
Everyone felt slightly nervous. They released their divine senses to scan the interior of the cave.
But this cave did not have any aura of life. It was like a barren land.
"This Main Peak doesn't seem to be any different from the East Peak." Huo Ze said gloomily.
Huo Ze walked to the side of several rocks. He tried smashing those rocks but to no avail.
Luo Zheng, Chou Xue, Ling Shuang, Feng Ge, and the others turned solemn. If they could not find any Chaotic Origin Spirits in the Main Peak, where else could they go?
Could it be that everyone had come here for nothing?
"There are still some differences." Hui Chen said.
"What's the difference?" Luo Zheng asked.
Hui Chen pointed to the depths of the cave and said, "The group of rock rats that I sent out to scout the way have all been wiped out."
"Did the Chaotic Origin Spirit devour those Rock Rats?" Chou Xue asked.
"Or did other species enter the main peak before us, and the rock rats were killed by them?" Feng Ge asked.
What they were most concerned about was whether there was a Chaotic Origin Spirit here.
"I'm not sure." Hui Chen shook her head. "There's a very strange power up there. When the rock rats enter the range of that power, they no longer listen to me. I have no way of knowing what they've discovered."
"Let's go up and check," Luo Zheng said.
The Rock Rats were not strong. Hence, it was normal for them to be devoured by some powerful Chaotic Origin Spirits.
Luo Zheng took the lead. The others and the Ear Mice lowered their footsteps and followed closely behind him. After traveling for several kilometers, Hui Chen reminded them: "The Rock Rats disappeared from here. Sir Luo Zheng, you must be careful."
Luo Zheng looked over. He saw many sharp stalagmites erected in the cave ahead. These stalagmites were densely packed together. They were like the fangs of some monster.
Luo Zheng squinted his eyes. His figure flew up and stuck close to one of the sharp stalagmites. He lightly placed his palm on the stalagmite. With a light push, a soft "bo" sound could be heard before this stalagmite turned into powder.
"Nothing." Luo Zheng shook his head. He then placed his palm on another sharp stalagmite. Using the same action, this stalagmite turned into powder. There was still no Chaotic Origin Spirit.
Huo Ze and the others were filled with disappointment. After ascertaining that there was no Chaotic Origin Spirit, they were no longer nervous. They followed behind Luo Zheng and started smashing those sharp stalagmites. But just like Luo Zheng, they did not find anything.
"Strange. If there is nothing here, why did the Rock Rats I released disappear?" Hui Chen said with a gloomy look.
There must be something strange about this cave. Other than exploring deeper, there was no other solution.
They followed behind Luo Zheng and bypassed those sharp stalagmites.
Just as they walked for a distance, a "rumbling" sound could be heard from behind them.
Everyone turned back. The sharp stalagmites that were smashed apart had regrown into small sharp stalagmites. Furthermore, these stalagmites were constantly growing. As they intertwined with each other, they completely sealed off their path of retreat. It was like a monster closing its fangs!
'Rocks can grow by themselves? What is going on? Let me go and have a look … 'Huo Ze decided to head over after seeing this scene.
Just as Huo Ze took a step forward, many fist-sized stalagmites sprouted out from all around the cave. These stalagmites were growing towards the center of the cave.
Luo Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly. With a flip of his hand, he sent a sword light towards those stalagmites that were growing.
"Ding!"
The stalagmites remained undamaged! Chou Xinghe and the others paled when they saw this!
"Huo Ze, come back! Everyone … run upwards! "
After realizing that something was amiss, Luo Zheng did not hesitate. He pulled towards Huo Ze, causing an unseen force to pull Huo Ze back from a distance of several dozen meters. Everyone began rushing forward.
If it were ordinary rocks, it would be fine even if they were sharper. Ordinary rocks could be smashed apart with a single slap. They could not harm them at all.
But if these stalagmites contained Chaotic Origin Spirits, it was different. They could not destroy these stalagmites in a short period. If they were drawn into them, the only outcome would be having their bodies pierced through by these stalagmites.
"Sou sou sou sou sou sou …"
Densely packed stalagmites sprouted out from all around the cave. Without a place to land, everyone could only run on the ground.
"The cave ahead is narrow!" Chou Xinghe shouted out.
Over ten stalagmites had already grown half a chi tall at that narrow area. It would not take long for the cave to be completely sealed. They had to rush over before that happened!
"Sou!"
Feng Ge, Chou Xinghe, and Ling Shuang were the first to rush over. Following them were Luo Zheng, Hui Chen, and several other Nine Li Tribesmen.
Lan Qing, Huo Ze, and Xian Shi were slightly slower. Naturally, they fell behind.
When Luo Zheng arrived at this narrow area, he frowned. Both his hands and legs stepped on a sharp stalagmite. A vast energy burst out. He actually stopped these sharp stalagmites from extending further!
"Hurry up!"
The stalagmites sprouted out from the stone wall. They exploded with a frightening strength. Luo Zheng could only slow them down slightly. He could not stop them completely.
"Sou! Sou! "
Lan Qing and Huo Ze passed through under Luo Zheng's armpits. At the same time, they turned back and shouted: "Xian Shi, hurry up …"
Xian Shi fell the furthest. He gritted his teeth and seemingly activated some sort of secret technique. He turned into a golden sharp sword and passed through under Luo Zheng's armpits. Nevertheless, his body was slashed by a sharp stalagmite, causing blood to flow out.
By the time Xian Shi rushed over, Luo Zheng could no longer hold on. He loosened his hands and passed through this narrow area.
