Chapter 2306: Lethal Danger
Crack!
The group all looked for the source of the sudden, loud sound. They saw Xie Daoyun’s face turn deathly pale as she stared at the formation disc in her hands.
The once sparkling and shining formation disc had already lost all of its brilliance, turning it ash-gray. Countless cracks quickly appeared on its surface. Xie Daoyun tried to use talismans to preserve the formation disk, but in the end, it turned into fragments and scattered ashes with a loud noise. It was completely impossible to put together again.
The women were all speechless. They had come to this world through the help of the large-scale transport formation. Without the formation disk, didn’t that mean they would never be able to return?
Xie Daoyun was panicking so much that she almost cried. “I didn’t do this on purpose! I don’t know what\'s going on...”
Zu An picked up a piece of the formation disc. He tried to comfort her by saying, “This doesn’t have anything to do with you. This formation disc is probably just a one-time use device that self-destructs after it completes its job. I didn’t foresee either, so it isn’t your fault.”
With Xie Daoyun’s skill in formations, she would normally have been able to realize that too. But because of her feeling of alarm, she hadn\'t thought about it in detail yet.
“Why did the True Demon Emissary make it like this? Could it be that he didn’t need to come back to our world anymore?” Pei Mianman was confused.
“If my suspicions are correct, he seemed to be guarding against something. Maybe he was worried that the formation disc would be stolen by the Monster Lord, so he did this. He probably either wanted to gain a lot of merit through this, or...” Zu An paused for a moment before continuing, “He might never have planned to tell the Monster Lord from the very start.”
The women nodded. From what they knew about the True Demon Emissary, he did seem like the type to do that.
To a certain degree, these monsters’ way of thinking was very human. They all had their own plans, so their interests didn\'t always align with those of the higher-ups.
“Then what should we do now? Will we never be able to go back anymore?” Jiang Luofu was a bit worried.
The other women were also extremely worried when they heard that.
Meanwhile, though, Ji Xiaoxi snuck Zu An a look.
As long as I can be with big brother Zu, there’s nothing to be scared of even if I have to stay here.
Suolun Shi’s face was also a bit red. Fortunately, there were both men and women here, so they could continue to procreate...
We might have to create a new race with big brother Zu all over again here...
Ah, Suolun Shi, Suolun Shi, this world is already about to be destroyed! What kind of nonsense are you thinking about right now?!
“We can make another formation disc,” Zu An said calmly. “Little sister Ling’er and I have researched the formation and formation disc before. We pretty much understand it.”
When she heard what he said, Xie Daoyun was about to say something, but stopped. They did more or less fully understand it, but there was still ten percent of the contents that they were still unsure about. Otherwise, they would’ve sensed that the disc would self-destruct. Regarding this kind of interstellar transport formation, forget about a tenth, even if it was a hundredth that they were missing, that would still be enough to leave them completely puzzled. Even so, she was intelligent and immediately suspected that he was saying this to help everyone else calm down.
Sure enough, when they heard what he said, the other women\'s fright began to subside.
Even Jiang Luofu couldn\'t help but give him a gratified look.
This man always manages to remain so calm in all kinds of dangerous situations, and he always has a solution. He is indeed a bit handsome...
Xie Daoyun still couldn\'t help but feel worried inside. She said through ki transmission, “Big brother Zu, there are still many areas I don’t understand. We might not be able to make one again...”
Zu An replied, “Since the True Demon Emissary was able to create the formation disc in this world, there should be related formation knowledge available. If we remember to look for that information, we should be able to make up for the gaps in our understanding."
Xie Daoyun was stunned. When she heard him say that, she immediately felt much more relieved. However, she quickly thought of another problem. “But the formation disc needs a lot of materials.”
“It’s fine, I have a lot of materials with me,” Zu An said. He now held authority in the human, fiend, and Ocean races. Whether it was the Second Empress, the Mermaid Queen, or Bi Linglong and Liu Ning, they had always shoved all sorts of goods into his arms for fear that he wouldn’t have enough. The Brilliant Glass Bead’s storage was massive as well, so the things he had with him were enough for all of them to survive without any problems for several decades.
“But that formation disc seemed to use a lot of precious materials I’ve never seen before.” As soon as Xie Daoyun said that, she suddenly laughed. “We’ll get them from this world too, right?”
“Little sister Ling’er is smart, as expected.” Zu An’s look of praise as he spoke made Xie Daoyun’s face redden slightly.
Pei Mianman looked at the two suspiciously. She just felt as if these two were flirting right before her eyes, but she had no proof.
Just then, Ji Xiaoxi exclaimed in surprise, “Look over there! What is that?”
Everyone else looked in the direction she was pointing. They saw a hill that was dozens of meters tall; it was cracking apart at a visible rate. It was as if every time the wind blew past, the hill had a layer shaved off.
Jiang Luofu had some misgivings. “Huh? Why is there still a hill like this that managed to survive the world-destroying winds?”
Suolun Shi said with a trembling voice, “That’s not a hill, but rather the tallest mountain in the Monster World.”
“The tallest mountain?” Everyone else had a strange expression. It really was hard for them to associate a hill that was a few dozen meters tall with the tallest mountain!
Suolun Shi picked up a notebook. “This contains the notes left behind by the True Demon Emissary. This mountain used to be over a thousand kilometers tall, and the area it covered was even more unimaginably large. The reason why he chose this as the end point was because he wanted to borrow the remains of this mountain to resist a good amount of the cyclones’ power.”
The True Demon Emissary’s language was a bit similar to that of the Demon race. Suolun Shi was thus able to guess some of the meaning of what was written in his diary.
Everyone else’s expressions finally changed. What kind of concept was a mountain that was a thousand kilometers tall? There were no mountains that big in their world. And yet, that incredibly majestic mountain had already been worn away until it was just a few dozen meters tall. How terrifying was that cyclone’s power?
Zu An stared at it for a bit, then said seriously, “The winds carry terrifying destructive power, and they even contain grit and water from this world’s surface. With all that sweeping through the air, they\'ve become countless times stronger than any sword ki!”
After all, this Monster World’s tallest mountain had been able to become so strong because it concentrated the essence of the world within it. The fact that this hill could last until now was because it was the very foundation of that entire mountain, so it was made up of the toughest substance in the world. Their world’s most miraculous weapons likely wouldn\'t even be able to leave behind the smallest mark on its surface. And yet, the erosion of the terrifying cyclones was shaving it down at a visible rate. It was obvious that the hill that remained would soon be completely erased from this world.
Zu An’s body was already incredibly tough, but he knew that if he tried to go outside and face the horrifying power of the cyclones, there wouldn’t be anything left of him after just a few seconds.
Suolun Shi pointed at a line of words in the notebook written in red ink. “If I\'m not mistaken, the True Demon Emissary said to pay close attention to that mountain. If its height goes below sixty meters, it will quickly collapse. Without the protection of the mountain, this fort’s defensive formation will be destroyed instantly!”
Everyone else\'s hearts sank when they heard that. The mountain seemed to already be smaller than that!
