How strange, why weren't there any stones falling from the bottom of the pit, nor were there any corpses falling to their deaths. Tang Jiaojiao looked around and did not see a single corpse, nor did she see any newly fallen stones. There were some stones on the ground, but moss was growing on them, clearly not newly fallen.
Just Du Feng and the others saw with their own eyes that there were quite a few martial artists falling, but there was not a single corpse on the ground. Similarly, they saw with their own eyes that there were quite a number of fallen stones and metal pieces, but there was not a single stone chip or metal powder on the ground, not to mention large pieces.
This Tianhu Ancient Site was indeed a little interesting. Du Feng carefully looked at the surrounding environment and seemed to have discovered something. If he guessed correctly, this place was actually enveloped by a huge ancient array. Perhaps tens of thousands of years ago, this array was hidden at the bottom of a large lake, and even if martial artists came, they would not be able to see it.
Later on, for some unknown reason, it caused the water in the large lake to completely disappear, thus revealing the hidden ancient site at the bottom of the lake. The person who set up this array back then might have been an almighty person. Such a deep lake, just the water pressure alone was very high, and yet such a large-scale array could be set up at the bottom.
Even with the standards of a professional array master like Du Feng, he could not tell what level the array at the bottom of the lake was. Such an expert had probably ascended to the Upper Realm long ago. He even suspected that the Tianhu Ancient Site was actually a mystic realm that was secretly left behind by the people of the Upper Realm. It was to test the martial artists of the Lower Realm, and at the same time, it gave the martial artists of the Lower Realm a chance to improve their own abilities. Without many mystic realms, the progress of the martial artists' Cultivation would definitely be much slower.
Even Du Feng himself had gained many benefits from a few trips to the mystic realms. Hence, this time when Cang Jingsong arranged for him to accompany Tang Jiaojiao into the Tianhu Ancient Site, although the time was a little rushed, he did not reject it.
"What now, are we going to wait for Sun Baikang?"
Ever since she witnessed Du Feng's abilities, Tang Jiaojiao now followed his lead in everything. Although Sun Baikang's abilities were slightly lacking, he was after all still considered loyal.
"Let's wait, the two of us can't go in anyway."
Although Du Feng could not set up such an ancient array, his basic knowledge was still very solid. He could already tell that if they really wanted to enter the ruins at the bottom of the Heavenly Lake, they would need at least 108 people to act at the same time. Thirty-six Heavenly Dipper and seventy-two Earthly Fiends added up to exactly 108 Star Positions.
If he guessed correctly, the Tianhu Ancient Ruins would only open after 108 warriors had arrived. One more wouldn't do, and one less wouldn't do. In other words, if there were less than 108 people here today, then no one would be able to enter and search for treasures.
If less than 108 people arrived at this place after 10 days to half a month, it would basically mean that the expedition had failed. Those martial artists who harmed others along the way were also very stupid. If they failed to gather 108 people because of their framing, then everyone would have come for nothing.
"Not bad, this kid knows a little about formations."
Du Feng was closer to Tang Jiaojiao, so the Pavilion Master could see him clearly through the crystal ball. Actually, Liu Qing and Sun Baikang also knew a little about formations, and they were initially hoping that they could follow Miss Tang into the ruins. Now, one was dead, and the other ran away.
"Hehe, he probably knows more than a little."
When they first entered the Seven Basaltic Mansions, the Pavilion Master was actually not interested in a nobody like Du Feng, so he did not investigate his identity. He only knew that he was the prince of a small second-class country in the East Continent, and later joined a sect to climb his way up. Such people were rare in the Rong Tian Nation, but they could be found everywhere in the God of War Continent. Whether they came from a small country, a large country, a small sect, or a large sect, there were many martial artists who came from humble backgrounds and relied on their own abilities to climb up.
Of these, a large portion would eventually end up at the Seven Profound Martial House. After all, if they wanted to continue to improve their abilities, the Seven Basaltic Mansions was the best choice.
However, Cang Jingsong was different from the Pavilion Master. He had noticed Du Feng from the beginning. He thought that this young man had a special aura that attracted him, and he felt that he had seen him somewhere before. After investigating and verifying, he more or less knew some secrets about Du Feng.
For example, Du Feng's membership in the Formation Alliance. Not only did he have a Level Five Formation Master badge, but he also had the ability of a Level Six Formation Master. Cang Jingsong also knew about many things about the Four Symbols Formation that he had learned in the Formation Class. That was why he dared to say that he knew more than a little.
"When he comes back, you can recommend him to the Martial Literature Pavilion to exchange for this Formation Interpretation book."
The Pavilion Master of the Armed Police Pavilion had already given him a lot of face by saying this. It was all because Du Feng had been taking care of Tang Jiaojiao. In fact, there were many good combat skills, smithing, refining weapons, and Formation Dao books in the Martial Literature Pavilion, but they were not displayed. Even if he brought a lot of points, he would not be able to exchange for them.
"Then I'll thank you on his behalf."
Cang Jingsong was a straightforward and realistic person. Previously, he was only willing to save Du Feng from the Red Desert for ten Fire Lingzhi. If it was someone else, even if they had ten Fire Lingzhi, they might not be able to save Du Feng. This time, because Du Feng had done a meritorious deed, he should make use of this opportunity to ask for some benefits from the Pavilion Master of the Martial Literature Pavilion. Therefore, Cang Jingsong asked for it on his behalf.
Du Feng stood at the same spot and chatted with Tang Jiaojiao. In fact, he had a premonition that Sun Baikang was already dead. Even though this person did not fall from the cliff, it did not mean that he would be able to enter the Sky Lake Ancient Ruins alive. The competition for this expedition was especially intense. Be it on the cliff or on the ground, there were a lot of experts.
Sun Baikang, who had left the team, basically had no chance of survival. Even if he climbed up, only death awaited him. Indeed, as Du Feng had expected, Sun Baikang had just climbed to the ground. Just as he thought that he had left the Spirit Forbidden Zone, he was surrounded and killed by a group of people.
The teleportation into the mystic realm could only transport four people at a time. These people must have arranged beforehand to gather inside. They gathered a total of twenty people and waited at the edge of the cliff. Sun Baikang had just stuck his head out when he was surrounded and beaten to death. Everything on him was also robbed clean.
