Chapter 120 - 120 A Bold Idea in an Urgent Situation!
120 A Bold Idea in an Urgent Situation!
“It’s just a small place. How can I not know?”
“It’s really horrifying.” the complaining Beastmaster suddenly shivered. He added, “That guy went the wrong way and was sucked dry by the young lord.”
“If you knew that, then stop complaining. The young lord has been pushing the progress of the magic formation recently and is very irritable. Even the elders can’t be angry with him.”
“I know, I know. I don’t want to lose my life.”
As the two spoke, they carried a barrel of wine from the warehouse and left.
Su Bai was hiding in the dark and was not discovered.
Not only that, but he also obtained some additional information.
“Interesting. A human that consumes blood.” Su Bai muttered.
One of the vines’ characteristics was their ability to absorb Beasts’ blood to increase their vitality, causing their movement and invasion ability to be extremely strange and powerful. I didn’t think a human could do that.’ Su Bai pondered.
Realizing that, Su Bai turned invisible again and took another round.
He had gathered more information regarding the Salvation Sect.
The most crucial point those Salvation Sectists mentioned was the young lord they were talking about was the medium to activate the magic formation.
It was different from the time in the wilderness.
It wasn’t the young lord who activated the magic formation but a Beastmaster back then. With the young lord as a medium, the strength of the magic formation was raised by more than a hundred times!
It was so powerful that it could affect the entire Howl City.
Because of the Salvation Sect’s young lord’s unique talent, he was absorbing energy from the magic formation in a strange way that Su Bai couldn’t understand.
Based on the current information, after the young lord completed the second phase of the magic formation, he had already been upgraded to Silver level.
When the third phase began, the young lord would directly advance to Gold level!
Not even Su Bai could catch up with such an abnormal speed.
However, Su Bai also understood that the young lord was the key to activating the magic formation. That was, without a doubt.
Su Bai entered the core area of the stronghold in the invisible state.
The Beastmasters here were different from before. They were more orderly, guarding the entrance to each tent more strictly.
Even though Su Bai was near them, he didn’t dare to be too presumptuous.
Soon, he noticed a commotion coming from the main tent.
“Blood! I want blood!” A young man strode out and shouted in a hoarse voice.
Seeing that, the accompanying Beastmasters didn’t dare to get close at all.
Soon, a few elderly people came over and asked, “Where’s the deer blood prepared each day?”
“Elder, the young lord has finished drinking the deer’s blood, but…”
“But what?” The elder asked coldly.
“But it is still insufficient. The young lord’s condition was fine during the few days when the second magical formation was activated. But he’s about to reach a tipping point. The third phase is about to start, and the young lord is already losing control. I’m afraid…” The Beastmaster expressed his trepidation.
“What’s there to be afraid of? The new batch of deer blood will only arrive tomorrow. We can’t wait any longer. Go and find a Silver-level Beast to feed the young lord.” the elder immediately berated the Beastmaster and said.
“Yes, elder!”
“By the way, has the young lord been consuming human blood recently?”
“After that incident, I’ve forbidden the outer sect disciples from entering this place. The young lord also shows no signs of leaning towards human blood.”
“That’s good. Go do it.”
The elder waved his hand to send the man away. At the same time, he looked at the young lord and said, “My lord, please wait for a moment. The best quality blood will be delivered soon.”
Hearing that, the young lord’s face turned ferocious. He didn’t pay any attention to the elderly.
Soon after, there was a cry from afar, and a large bowl of blood filled with a fishy smell was presented.
“Blood!” When the young lord saw that, he immediately held the big bowl and swallowed it.
Su Bai, who was watching from a distance, felt uncomfortable.
It was indeed unreliable to take the evil path. Although the speed of improvement was amazing, the consciousness was already in a state of near madness.
Apart from that, from the elder and the young lord’s conversation, the third phase of the magic formation was about to begin.
Su Bai’s glad that he made the right decision. He would have missed the opportunity if he didn’t take the risk to come in.
“Send someone down and prepare for the sacrificial ritual in half an hour.”
“What? But elder, the young lord’s condition isn’t stable right now. It won’t be too late to start the ritual tomorrow,” one of the elder’s subordinates said anxiously.
“Are you the one making decisions here?”
The elder’s words were bone-chillingly cold, and his eyes flashed with a trace of hostility.
“No, elder! I will go and prepare for the sacrificial ritual!”
The elder only stopped after his subordinates helped the young lord leave.
“Our experiment will be completed after the third magic formation is activated. But is it worth giving up a good chess piece?” another elder behind said.
“What’s not worth it?” The elder laughed disdainfully. “As long as the experiment is successful, you can have as many pieces as possible. Now, the Los Monstaria military is wandering around the danger zones. I’m afraid that it will be troublesome to delay.”
“Indeed, you are very thoughtful.”
“That’s right.”
“Since that’s the case, let’s go and prepare the ritual for the magic formation.”
A few of them left and began to prepare for the sacrificial ritual.
In the dark, Su Bai was frowning and trying to come up with a solution after hearing the shocking news.
‘Half an hour … Time was too tight.’ Su Bai thought.
If Su Bai returned to call for military support, it would take an hour to get to and from there. By then, it would be too late.
The Walkie-talkies could not be used in the Illusion Domain.
Helplessly, he could only rush back to the exit and leave the Illusion Domain to look for Zhu Di and the others.
“How is it? Is there a major magic formation inside?” Zhu Di and the rest asked hurriedly.
“There is.”
“Great! I’ll go back now and call for reinforcements!”
The Beastmasters, who were fast, immediately took action, running toward the military’s camp.
The remaining three people were excited.
“We can’t wait that long. The Salvation Sect will start the third phase in half an hour.” Su Bai said calmly.
“What?! How long will it take to activate the third phase?” Zhu Di was shocked as she asked.
They could wait for the reinforcements to arrive as long as there was enough time.
But Su Bai shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
These three words caused the hearts of the squad members present to tighten.
Logically speaking, the time needed to activate the magic formation would increase according to the scale.
However, from Su Bai’s serious expression, the squad members knew the severity of the matter.
The Salvation Sect’s Beastmasters were all lunatics.
Naturally, the things a madman did were unimaginable to ordinary people.
If the time required for them to activate the third phase of the magic formation was concise, the Los Monstaria military’s reinforcements would not be able to arrive in time. Then all their efforts would be in vain.
“I have an idea, but it’s risky.”
“Just say it!”
Zhu Di’s forehead was filled with cold sweat. She was unequivocal on how dangerous the situation was.
Whether or not the plan could succeed, it was related to the lives of more than two million people in Howl City.
“Assassinate the young lord.”
Su Bai’s words turn the place into dead silence.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
