Sacred Martial Divine Sovereign

The dense shade and towering trees surrounded a hidden valley. The surroundings were silent, and not even a shadow of a small animal could be seen. There was only silence here!    

Today, this silent valley welcomed its guest, and the silence was directly broken.    

"The Spirit Opening Tree is in this valley, and the Black Pattern Snake that is protecting it is also within it. Everyone, be careful!"    

Ouyang Yu said softly to the few people beside him, as if he was afraid that the disturbance would alarm the Black Pattern Snake in the valley.    

"Don't worry. We have already come here to investigate and know the situation inside!"    

A delicate and attractive voice sounded. The one who spoke was the only female among them, Tang Liyan.    

When Ao Lingchen saw this senior sister, he felt that she was not simple. With her heroic and dashing appearance, she gave people the feeling that she was a woman who was not inferior to men.    

After the fight not long ago, Ao Lingchen had gotten to know these people around him.    

Tang Liyan, who was as strong as a man, was decisive in killing; Ji Haotian, who was hot-tempered but had great strength; Zhuge Feng, who was known as the Seven Ladies in One Night, who was handsome and elegant, and had the wisdom to rule the world; Faang Xiaoming, who was silent but fierce in his attacks.    

Although these four people had different personalities, they all had a common characteristic. That was, they were powerful. The weakest among them was at the late Martial Spirit. They were all influential figures of the Essence Sword Sect. Wherever they went, they would attract the attention of everyone. Now, Ao Lingchen was working with these people.    

Of course, all of this was because of the person beside him. He was not inferior to their Ouyang Yu at all!    

"After we act, we will follow our plan. We will first delay the Black Pattern Snake and give Lingchen time to set up the confinement array. When the time is right, we will bring that thing into the trap formation. Snatch the Spirit Opening Fruit away. "    

Seeing that everyone was consciously being careful, Ouyang Yu no longer talked about it. Instead, he changed the topic to what he needed to do after entering the valley.    

His sharp eyes glanced at the valley where he could not see the specific situation. Ao Lingchen took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "Half a quarter of an hour. Hold it for me for half a quarter of an hour!"    

Regarding the Black Pattern Snake that was about to break through to the Fourth Level Devil Beast, Ao Lingchen knew that the trap array that he casually set up would have no effect on it. The only way was to set up a stronger formation. Coincidentally, in the formation that he had been studying recently... There was a trap array that was very suitable. It was a relatively powerful level one array. Traceless Trap Array!    

Although the Bewildering Maze Trap was considered a trap array, it was different from an ordinary trap array. It was a trap array that was fused with the elements of the maze array. Ao Lingchen had never truly used this array before. He had only used his consciousness to deduce it.    

However, even so, after experiencing the insights of the formation patterns on the walls of Spirit Refinement Tower, Ao Lingchen was very confident that he would be able to step down from the formation. Besides, even if he failed to set up this formation in the end, he could still set up the formation that he was best at in the shortest amount of time to make up for it. He wanted to minimize the damage as much as possible.    

Otherwise, even if his own formation didn't have much effect, with the combined efforts of these few people, even if he couldn't get the Spirit Opening Fruit, and you can get away with it. Of course, since Ao Lingchen had chosen to participate in such an event, he naturally didn't want any accidents to occur.    

"Let's not even talk about a quarter of an hour, we can even stall you for an hour!"    

Ji Haotian gently wiped the huge pincer in his hand. His eyes flickered with a strong fighting spirit, as if he wasn't worried about the Black Pattern Snake inside at all.    

"Alright, let's not talk so much. Let's go in. The earlier we get the Spirit Opening Fruit, the earlier we can go back!"    

He gently waved the fan made of three huge white feathers in his hand. Like a scholar, Zhuge Feng's eyes flashed with confidence, as if he knew everything inside like the back of his hand, as if he could control everything inside.    

Hiding quietly, a group of six passed through the forest and headed towards a quiet canyon. They passed through the thick grass and kept going down.    

"It's really quiet here. Not to mention the Devil Beast animals, even the insects didn't make any noise."    

Ao Lingchen was surprised by the surrounding environment as he went into stealth. He didn't expect the valley to be so quiet. It was so quiet that it made people scared.    

"This place has already been completely ruled by the Black Pattern Snake. That thing is extremely xenophobic, and no other creatures are allowed to appear in its territory. That's why all the surrounding creatures have been destroyed by it."    

Ouyang Yu deliberately lowered his voice and whispered into Ao Lingchen's ear. He had been to this place many times, so he naturally knew the situation inside better.    

Ao Lingchen shook his head and sighed with emotion. He whispered, "So overbearing!"    

Snatching territory was the most common thing in the Devil Beast. However, an ordinary Devil Beast would only expel and destroy the targets that posed a threat to them. It never paid any attention to small animals that posed no threat to it. It never thought that the Black Pattern Snake would be so overbearing. Its attacks were so ferocious.    

"Don't speak anymore. We're about to reach the bottom of the valley. Don't disturb that thing!"    

Suddenly, Faang Xiaoming, who had been silent all the way, spat out a sentence. His expression became more and more serious.    

When they heard these words, Ao Lingchen and Ouyang Yu, who were originally discussing among themselves, also nodded. They stopped talking and moved downwards bit by bit.    

In just a moment, everyone had arrived at the bottom of the valley, which was like the mouth of the earth.    

"Glowing tree, glowing fruit, is this the Spirit Opening Tree? Too natural, truly mysterious!"    

Standing at the edge of the fresh air valley, Ao Lingchen looked forward with a serious expression. He was deeply shocked by the mysterious scene in front of him. This was the first time he had seen such a spiritual tree.    

"That's right. Where is the Black Pattern Snake?"    

Although the Spirit Fruit in front of him was tempting, Ao Lingchen wasn't fooled by all of this. He didn't forget that there was a ferocious Black Pattern Snake here. If he didn't get rid of this thing, it would be almost impossible for him to obtain the Spirit Opening Fruit.    

"Be careful, that thing isn't near the Opening Spirit Tree. I don't know where it is hiding."    

While Ao Lingchen was searching for the Black Pattern Snake, Ouyang Yu and the others were also looking for it. Initially, everyone thought that the ferocious thing would be guarding the tree, but they didn't expect that they wouldn't be able to see the shadow of that thing around the tree.    

"Pay attention to your surroundings. We will slowly approach it!"    

Zhuge Feng no longer waved the feather fan in his hand and held it tightly in his hand. His gaze looked around him, and slowly moved forward. Before he saw the Black Pattern Snake, no one dared to be careless. After all, it was a Devil Beast that was about to break through to the Fourth Grade.    

Almost holding their breaths, the group of six carefully moved forward, trying to find the hidden Black Pattern Snake.    

As they moved, Ao Lingchen and the others had already raised their spirits to 120% as they slowly approached the Spirit Opening Tree. However, the traces of the Devil Beast protecting the Black Pattern Snake were no longer detected.    

"Could it be that this fellow went out to hunt?" Ouyang Yu's gaze swept across the surroundings. He had a confused look on his face. He did not expect that the empty secluded valley would not have any traces of the Black Pattern Snake.    

It was unusual. Not only did the scene in front of them not make them happy, it also made them feel uneasy.    

"Hiss! Hiss!"    

Everyone kept approaching the tree, but they did not realize that there was a pair of cold eyes staring at them in the dark, with greed in their eyes!
