"It's not that simple …" Lin Yun shook his head. "If I'm not wrong, we have most likely circled back …"
"Ah?"
"You said it yourself, this is an extremely evil place …" After saying that, Lin Yun didn't explain much. He only followed his memories and led the group towards the twelve cages.
There was no suspense …
The twelve cages were motionless, and even the ashes on the ground didn't seem to have changed.
"Shit!" Anderfa couldn't remain calm. "We came back!"
"It looks like we missed something …" Lin Yun helplessly shook his head. "If I'm not wrong, this should be related to some kind of array. Do you remember the subtle mana fluctuations triggered when Xiuban activated the mechanism?"
"Then … Then what should we do?"
"If we can't crack this array, we might not be able to leave …"
"Shit …" Anderfa cursed. This was a trap.
"Okay, don't complain. Help me think of a way to find this array …"
"Okay …" After thinking for a bit, Anderfa was just about to start the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel to analyze the surrounding mana fluctuations when he suddenly felt something wrong. He froze for a bit before letting out a cry of alarm. "Shit, my mana is flowing away, and the speed is getting faster and faster!"
Anderfa's voice was shaking. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was embedded in an Elemental Amber and contained a huge amount of mana. That mana was the source of Anderfa's mana.
As a Magic Tool Incarnation, if the mana of a Magic Tool was exhausted, Anderfa would have no choice but to fall into a slumber. This wasn't a joke, it was equivalent to death for a Magic Tool Incarnation!
Why was Shawn, an esteemed True Spirit Magic Tool Incarnation, reduced to the point where he could only use illusions to scare people? It was because his mana was exhausted that Shawn had no choice but to put down his noble status as a True Spirit Magic Tool Incarnation and rely on a few illusions to play some tricks.
Shawn's greed for mana crystals after following Lin Yun showed how important mana was to Magic Tool Incarnations.
Anderfa felt his mana flowing away. Although the speed wasn't fast, he couldn't help recalling those twelve powerful level 39 magic beasts. They didn't just lose their mana when they died, even their vitality completely disappeared.
Anderfa didn't think he could compare to those powerful level 39 magic beasts, let alone that guy with one foot in the Heaven Rank and covered in Eternal Runes.
"Merlin, you … You had better hurry up. Although the mana loss isn't fast, it's slowly accelerating. If this continues for too long, my mana might completely disappear …" Lin Yun's expression changed as he looked at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun's expression sank. He sensed a bit, and sure enough, his mana started flowing away at a very slow speed. It wasn't fast, but he could feel it as long as he used a bit of mana.
But after carefully sensing it, he could feel that his mana was continuously flowing away. It wouldn't take long for him to feel it even if he didn't deliberately sense it.
"I know, I'll try to speed up, don't disturb me."
Lin Yun used Haste on himself and used an extremely fast speed to wander around the hold, continuously observing those twelve True Spirit Arrays. At the same time, he didn't forget about the twelve strange gates.
He held a quill in one hand and a stack of paper in the other as he carefully deciphered every True Spirit Array. These True Spirit Arrays all had the same effect. Lin Yun had only deciphered one before stopping because there was no need to translate all of them. The calculations required would be astronomical.
But now, Lin Yun knew that he had underestimated these True Spirit Arrays.
A person that could simplify a True Spirit Array to this extent and only construct twelve identical arrays in a hold might not be a problem for an ordinary Artisan. But that person's style was filled with a strange simplicity, every rune's effect was squeezed to the extreme.
With twelve arrays appearing at the same time, how could they not squeeze the power of these arrays to their limits?
As he rapidly calculated, Lin Yun casually threw a piece of paper to the side, and a large amount of paper spread out on the ground, forming a white area.
On the other side, Frost Dragon Reina's expression was very unsightly. That kind of mana was clearly flowing out of her body, and even as a Dragon, she couldn't stop it. It was as if something was forcibly absorbing her mana. Although the mana consumption wasn't that great, it made her feel weak, as if she was sick.
Anderfa's three faces kept changing positions, restlessly moving in the air. As for the puppets, defensive measures automatically rose up on their own. The mana flowing out had already activated the puppets' defensive measures.
Lin Yun was pale, and exhaustion could be seen in his eyes. Not only did it feel like the mana was being forcibly extracted from his body, but he also used Sharp Mind twice to speed up the calculations. The large amount of mental energy consumption made Lin Yun look like he was seriously ill.
Only the simple-minded Draconic Beastman didn't feel anything. Whether it was fusing with the Three-Headed Golden Dragon's blood or bathing in the God's blood, it only strengthened his body to an unimaginable degree. Especially after bathing in the God's blood, Xiuban was completely cut off from sensing magic elements.
Even if he could cast, he would use the Draconic Beastman's innate runes to cast runic spells, he simply didn't need mana. The others all looked sick, only Xiuban was still at his peak.
But seeing Lin Yun's appearance, Xiuban tactfully kept his mouth shut, not daring to ask anything.
Lin Yun was already crazily writing and calculating on a piece of paper. It took no less than an hour for the twelve True Spirit Arrays to be completely translated and calculated.
After finishing his calculations, Lin Yun immediately calculated the twelve strange gates, the corresponding angles, power, and the time it took to enter and exit, everything was taken into account.
After ten minutes, Lin Yun let out a sigh of relief.
"Sure enough, it's here!"
Lin Yun walked to the center of the hold and looked at this seemingly ordinary open space. The twelve arrays were arranged in a circle, and there were a lot of empty spaces in the hold.
But when the twelve gates appeared, Lin Yun immediately thought that the newly activated array had to be in the center of the hold!
But the center of the hold was a large open space with only Soul Absorbing Wood. There wasn't a single rune, so it could be seen with one glance.
But seeing the twelve cages floating up from below, Lin Yun made a daring guess that the array was under the Soul Absorbing Wood!
After some precise calculations, the array confirmed Lin Yun's conjecture. The array was indeed under the Soul Absorbing Wood.
Although the previous twelve cages looked as if they had risen from below, it was more accurate to say that they had floated up from a Spatial Gate. Based on the True Spirit Array's quality and the Intrepid's strangeness, the probability of this kind of spatial change being the same as reality was negligible.
But the results of the calculations startled Lin Yun. This hold was only half the size! In other words, this was only the upper half of the hold, the lower half was under the Soul Absorbing Wood!
The twelve True Spirit Arrays combined with the floor made of Soul Absorbing Wood to form a huge array!
Its power was so powerful that Lin Yun was inwardly startled. Even if the alchemist of this array wasn't a Saint Alchemist, he was at least a first-rate Artisan.
Something terrifying might might be sealed below!
But if it had been somewhere else, Lin Yun would have definitely strengthened this array and wouldn't have thought of cracking it!
But now, if he didn't crack the array below, he would never be able to leave this place.
Lin Yun's palms were sweaty. This was an unsolvable problem, he could only pray that his luck wouldn't be too bad.
"Xiuban, come here."
Lin Yun beckoned to Xiuban, and Xiuban immediately shivered in fear. He slowly moved towards the center of the hold, as if there was a mountain pressing down on him.
"What, didn't you hear me?"
Lin Yun's expression turned cold, and Xiuban didn't dare to dawdle. He sullenly walked to the center of the hold.
"Sir Merlin, what are your instructions …"
Lin Yun frowned and pointed at a marked place on the ground.
"Smash this place open."
This thumb-sized circle was the result of an hour and a half of painstaking calculations. Even without looking at the array, he was able to calculate a crucial point of the array!
Xiuban didn't know about this, so when he heard Lin Yun's words, he immediately beamed with joy and patted his chest, guaranteeing that he would complete the task.
"Eh? Smash it open?" The sullen Draconic Beastman suddenly beamed with joy when he heard that it was such a simple task. "Rest assured, Sir Merlin, leave it to me!"
The restless Anderfa floated over and glanced at the confident Xiuban before softly cursing, "Idiot."
Xiuban was beaming with joy even though he was scolded. He held Carnage and walked to the center of the hold, his killing intent surging.
