With the God Pathfinding Talisman, Lan Xiaobu's following path became much simpler. Lan Xiaobu had been to the real Stele Forest outside the God Domain before. He also knew that his pathfinding god talisman could only be used in this test. If he wanted to go to the real Stele Forest, it definitely wouldn't work.
In this assessment's Stele Forest, those hidden arrays were at most Grade 2 god arrays. However, in the real Stele Forest, there were even Grade 9 natural god arrays. Theoretically speaking, any God Pathfinding Talisman wouldn't work here. Unless you were a Grade 9 God Talisman Emperor and could refine the best God Pathfinding Talisman in the God World.
In just half a day, Lan Xiaobu had already travelled close to 100 miles. To Lan Xiaobu, it was just throwing the talisman down and following the path given by the talisman. Even though there were times when the talisman made mistakes, most of them were small traps. To Lan Xiaobu, they wouldn't pose a threat to his safety.
This was a simulation of the situation outside the Stele Forest. Lan Xiaobu guessed that he should be passing through the Stele Forest soon.
Looking at the hundreds of God Pathfinding Talismans on him, Lan Xiaobu reckoned that it would definitely be enough.
Lan Xiaobu took out another God Pathfinding Talisman. Just as he was about to throw it out like before, he suddenly felt a ripple in space.
Someone was using an attack to find a way out? Very soon, Lan Xiaobu confirmed that someone was indeed using an attack to find a way out. According to this attack, this person was definitely a God Monarch expert.
Lan Xiaobu immediately used an Invisibility Technique to hide himself. He didn't use his spiritual will but he determined that this person should be one of the people who placed the spiritual will imprint on him.
He had two spiritual will imprints on him. These two spiritual will imprints should have been placed by a God Monarch. Moreover, there were only two God Monarchs participating in the assessment.
Since he had found the person who placed the spiritual will imprint on him, Lan Xiaobu would be letting himself down if he didn't kill the other party.
However, his cultivation level was truly too low. If the other party was a Heavenly God Stage cultivator, he could still use a sneak attack to kill the other party. But if he wanted to kill a Divine Lord expert …
Lan Xiaobu's gaze landed on the surrounding stele forest. It was not impossible to kill a God Lord as long as he could perfectly make use of the large pile of God Arrays in the stele forest. Most of the god arrays in the stele forest were Level 2, but there were also a few Level 1 and Level 3 god arrays. If he was lucky enough to encounter a Grade 3 Divine Array, then his chances of killing the other party would be even greater.
That God Monarch didn't waste any energy. Therefore, his Spiritual Will had always been within his walking range.
Seeing that the God Monarch was still focused on attacking and probing the path, Lan Xiaobu simply took out a pathfinding talisman. With his fastest speed, he arrived a few miles in front of the God Monarch.
Looking at the surrounding steles, Lan Xiaobu decided to set up an ambush here.
After choosing a place, Lan Xiaobu took out the Pathfinder Talisman and began to explore. He had set up a deathtrap divine formation on the correct path, but he had also set up a teleportation divine formation in the direction of the Formation Breaker. As long as he attacked a dangerous spot, the teleportation divine formation would automatically add its attack to the deathtrap divine formation. This would indicate that the path to the trap was safe and would lead the other party there.
Of course, this method could only be used against ordinary cultivators. If that God Monarch was also a Grade 1 God Array Master, then the chances of his plan succeeding would be much lower. If that God Monarch was a Grade 2 God Array Master, then his plan would definitely fail.
However, Lan Xiaobu guessed that the other party definitely wasn't a Grade 2 God Array Master. If the other party was a Grade 2 God Array Master, why would he use such a stupid method to scout?
…
"What is he doing?" Qi Kaishang saw Lan Xiaobu fiddling around and even setting up an array. Qi Kaishang couldn't help but ask.
Luo Yi chuckled, "Can't you tell? He saw the God Monarch who left a spiritual will imprint on him. Therefore, he is preparing to ambush that God Monarch. "
Qi Kaishang was shocked. Then, he muttered, "I thought that I was brave enough. This kid's guts are bigger than the heavens, right? A Nascent God dares to ambush a God Monarch? Isn't he trying to find a latrine with a lantern? Is he courting death? "
"Isn't his mental fortitude a little too weak? The other party just left a spiritual will imprint on him and he can't help but want to take revenge. Moreover, this is under the circumstances where he isn't strong enough. It's hard to develop such a mental fortitude. "This time, the one who spoke was Xuan Fu, who didn't participate in the discussion. He was also in the Worldly God Stage and was one of Shu Wangxiao's capable subordinates.
Qi Kaishang immediately retorted, "How is this considered a weak mental fortitude? If you provoke me, Qi Kaishang, I will also take revenge. I like to take my revenge without delay. This kid has already done it a few nights ago. "
Xuan Fu said indifferently, "Do you think that a trap in the stele forest would be able to ambush an elementary God Monarch?"
Qi Kaishang was shocked. This time, he didn't have anything to retort. A trap in the stele forest, even a Grade 3 God Trapping Array, wouldn't be able to kill an elementary God Monarch. At the very most, it would severely injure the God Monarch.
…
Lan Xiaobu had seen the power of a God Monarch. How could he not know that a Grade 3 God Trapping Array wouldn't be able to kill a God Monarch? After he finished setting up the first trap, he judged where the God Monarch would escape from after being trapped by the trap.
Then, he would take out a Pathfinding God Talisman in the direction where the God Monarch could escape. He would then continue to set up a Strangulation God Array on the correct path. This would cause the God Monarch to misjudge a second time and avoid the Strangulation God Array before entering the next trap.
When the God Monarch charged out of the first trap, he would definitely suffer some light injuries. Then, he would be lured into the second trap. If this continued, Lan Xiaobu didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to severely injure the God Monarch. As long as he could injure the God Monarch, he would ambush him beside a trap array and use money to kill him.
After setting up the third trap, Lan Xiaobu hesitated when he was about to set up the fourth trap. If it was him and he realised that he had found the wrong path three times, would he charge straight in? A person's mental fortitude was usually three. Didn't they say that he would do it once and twice and thrice? Therefore, he wouldn't be able to endure it any longer.
The answer was yes. If he managed to find a safe path by attacking three times in a row, and it turned out that the safe path was problematic, then the fourth time, he would definitely take the unsafe path directly. If he were to set up the same array as before, wouldn't the God Monarch end up on the correct path if he chose the unsafe path?
This was because the Grade One Deathtrap God Array he set up at the safe path was nothing to a God Monarch.
Lan Xiaobu's first thought was to use a concealment god array to block off the safe path. This way, no matter which path the God Monarch chose, he would avoid the correct path and enter the trap in the stele forest.
However, there were problems with this. Firstly, was his array skills high enough to block off the correct path? Secondly, even if he succeeded, the direction the God Monarch chose might not be the one he wanted.
After hesitating for a moment, Lan Xiaobu decided to do the opposite. He set up a transfer god array at the safe path. This transfer god array would transfer all the attacks to the trap array. The God Monarch had failed three times in a row. This time, he might choose the opposite path. If the God Monarch was still stubborn and chose the safe path, then he would give up on the assassination attempt.
After setting up the array, Lan Xiaobu felt a little awkward. After a few breaths of time, he resolutely removed all the arrays. Then, he set up a concealment god array for himself and stood guard by the side.
Since the God Monarch made the wrong decision three times in a row, the God Monarch might not choose the correct path even if he didn't set up any array for the fourth time. Therefore, he didn't need to do anything for the fourth time. He just needed to try his luck. If the God Monarch chose the correct path, then the God Monarch wouldn't die. If the God Monarch chose the wrong path, then he would make his move.
…
"What a brat. He actually set up so many traps. The God Monarch is probably crying from anger." Qi Kaishang also saw through Lan Xiaobu's strategy.
"Eh, what's going on? Why did he remove the array when he was setting up the fourth trap? And why did he hide at the side? "Qi Kaishang was shocked when he saw Lan Xiaobu's actions.
Even if he thought that three traps could kill a God Monarch, he should have hidden at the side of the third trap to kill the God Monarch.
Xuan Fu chuckled, "This brat thinks that he can control people's hearts. Therefore, he predicted that the God Monarch would take the initiative to walk towards the trap. Unfortunately, he only has a 50% chance of succeeding."
"What's the matter? If he fails, he has a concealment god array. At the very most, he can avoid the God Monarch's trap. "Qi Kaishang said.
…
Huo Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief. Although there were many traps in this stele forest, they weren't much of a threat to a God Monarch like him. He had used the stupidest method to reach this place. In his opinion, he only needed half a day to pass through this stele forest.
The only thing that made him uncomfortable was that he couldn't find that ant, Lan Xiaobu. He actually couldn't sense the Spiritual Will Imprint that he left on Lan Xiaobu. He guessed that there must be something wrong with this test location. That was why he couldn't sense the Spiritual Will Imprint.
He didn't care. He would pass the second stage first. If he could stop Lan Xiaobu at the third stage, he could still take revenge for Xiangxiang. In his eyes, Lan Xiaobu was a dead man.
The Wolf Fang Spear shot out and ripples appeared in space. Following which, a portion of the blade radiance pierced through. Then, he shot towards another direction. There were no traces of array fluctuations. Instead, the array fluctuations in the adjacent direction were more obvious.
Huo Zhuo did not hesitate to choose another direction. With his experience, he was clearly charging in the right direction.
"Pfft!" Before Huo Zhuo landed, a blade radiance shot towards him from below. Even though Huo Zhuo dodged in time, this blade radiance still pierced through his thigh.
Before Huo Zhuo landed, a killing whirlpool swept towards him. Huo Zhuo was shocked. How could he not know that he had chosen the wrong direction? He took out his defensive Dharma treasure and desperately rushed out.
