Chapter 608: Chapter 608: The Forbidden Area Might Be a Trapping Formation!

Mo Buwen’s words undoubtedly confirmed what Lu Chen had been thinking. He continued, "How did you traverse those dozen or so wilderness areas, and what did you see?"

"Not exactly the same, but almost indistinguishable," Mo Buwen recalled and said, "We initially all walked in one direction, then realized the wilderness areas we passed through were almost identical. So we changed direction, but still ended up inside the wilderness. Brother Lu Dao, I suspect we might have entered some kind of trapping formation!"

A trapping formation?

Those two words seemed to remind Lu Chen.

He had always subjectively seen this place as a forbidden ground, without considering other possibilities.

But indeed, a forbidden ground could also be a trapping formation!

Except this trapping formation...

Lu Chen remembered those ancient beasts that were mysteriously chained and shackled.

Then, it was very likely that the trapping formation wasn’t trapping them, but the ancient beasts instead!

Thinking of this, an inexplicable chill arose in Lu Chen’s heart!

Could it be that the cultivators from the top sects of the Eastern Domain wanted to use the forbidden ground to kill the disciples from the other domains, and their method was to release these ancient beasts?

If they could enter the trapping formation, then naturally they would have a way to get out!

Li Yanran had been observing Lu Chen’s expressions and, noticing the changes in his demeanor and combining that with what they had discussed before, guessed what he might be thinking.

"Lu Chen, if you have any thoughts, just speak up. We’re all on the same side here. We need to work together to find our way out!"

Lu Chen looked up, just as Qin Yaotiao regained consciousness. Seeing Lu Chen, she was overjoyed.

But she also heard Li Yanran’s words and forcefully suppressed her impulse to approach, not wanting to disturb Lu Chen’s thoughts.

Lu Chen looked down at the ground.

"The people from North Dragon Sect initially said that there is a treasure buried beneath," he then looked up at Mo Buwen and finally settled his gaze on Li Yanran’s face, "If this place is a trapping formation, then the treasure underneath could very likely be the formation’s core!"

Unexpectedly, they would need to seek this treasure after all.

To escape from the formation, the core is extremely crucial.

Just like the time he was in the Five Elements Deficient Formation, after solving the formation’s core, he was able to easily enter and exit the major formation.

Lu Chen didn’t understand formations, but having spent some time in the Casting Gear Pavilion, he knew somewhat that any formation required a core to be set up.

If the core of the formation is understood, then the major formation will mostly be under control.

However.

If the core treasure of this trapping formation were to be taken, would all the ancient beasts within it be released?

And all the ancient beasts he had encountered, how did they escape the trap?

Lu Chen had no way of knowing, nor did the others here understand formations.

What should they do?

"Lu Chen," Li Yanran suddenly said, "Based on your guess, with the beasts surrounding this wilderness and not daring to venture deeper, do you think there’s a possibility that what they fear is the core of the formation here?"

Lu Chen’s eyes lit up.

The ancient beasts were highly intelligent and their actions were so unusual.

As the saying goes, if something is abnormal, there must be demons involved. If that’s the case, they must retrieve the core treasure!

By doing so, they would be able to walk confidently within the trapping formation and eventually find a way out of it!

"Then let’s search for the treasure here," Lu Chen’s eyes became focused as he finally made a decision. Then he looked at Qin Yaotiao, "Yaotiao, how is your recovery?"

"Master, I... I’m very well," Qin Yaotiao hastily replied.

Lu Chen showed a hint of joy, "Then try to sense the fissures here, see if you can feel any difference in spiritual power, and then I will also search within the fissures. Perhaps we can find the treasure."

Qin Yaotiao, possessing the Heavenly Connection Physique, could sense any changes in spiritual power, making her an excellent choice for treasure hunting.

"Yes, Master,"

Qin Yaotiao obeyed Lu Chen’s command and walked towards the nearest fissure, while Lu Chen reassigned tasks to Li Yanran and the other two, mainly to be vigilant against beast attacks.

As for himself, he naturally took control of the overall situation.

If a beast attacked or they discovered the presence of the treasure, everything would be decided by him.

Whether to seize the treasure or slay the beast.

However, there were many fissures in this area, and the core treasure might not necessarily be buried within them.

The search could take a long time. After following Qin Yaotiao for a while, Lu Chen gave up.

But he wasn’t idle; instead, he sat down directly on the ground, took out all of his storage bags, and began to tally his gains since entering the forbidden trapping formation.

Soon.

He found several talismans in the storage bags of the five North Dragon Sect members.

Lu Chen’s eyes shone brightly.

These talismans seemed to be...
