Everyone shared their feelings and suspicions, and subsequently, a palpable trace of apprehension appeared in each person’s eyes.
However, whenever they went on missions, they were already prepared to make sacrifices.
At this mont, even knowing this place was indeed dangerous and eerie, no one considered backing down.
Dragon Spirit listened to these people’s remarks and did not rush to conclusions, instead reaching out to touch the stone wall of the passage.
Yun Ran had once done the sa, thinking that if Dragon Spirit was here, he could ’see’ more things.
Yet when Dragon Spirit did the sa thing, the result was vastly different from what Yun Ran had imagined.
When Dragon Spirit’s hand just touched the stone wall, he felt a burning pain.
Dragon Spirit calmly withdrew his hand.
In a sense, Dragon Spirit was a ruthless person; in the past, he endured the soul-tearing pain to seize a body and gain an independent physique.
Now, it was just a burnt hand, not a big deal.
Nonetheless, to avoid affecting the team’s morale, Dragon Spirit clenched his hand into a fist, ensuring no one else would notice.
At this mont, Dragon Spirit was finally certain.
Previously, when he entered Death Mountain and saw those so-called forbidden mark areas, he realized they were actually ant to protect the passage.
The creatures didn’t dare co near, so the passage remained unscathed.
His earlier discomfort, now compounded by his burnt hand, revealed that the passage’s interior was influenced by the Yin Moon Stone.
If he still was the Jiao Long from before, he’d probably be reduced to ashes by now.
Having seized a human body, as a half-human half-demon, he just felt discomfort and burns.
However, even knowing the upcoming route would affect him, Dragon Spirit had no plans to retreat.
One reason was his genuine desire to save Yun Ran.
Another was to explore his limits; as long as he didn’t die, everything was fine.
If he really got seriously injured from saving Yun Ran, perhaps he could feign pity and sell tragic stories in front of his little ntor.
Thinking of this, Dragon Spirit suddenly considered himself quite clever.
"It’s getting late, let’s keep moving!"
The others, unaware of Dragon Spirit’s inner calculations, imdiately focused all their attention and continued onward.
Their pace was now more than double the speed compared to Yun Ran’s previous leisurely pace.
When they finally arrived at the underground central area of Death Mountain.
The passage’s exit opened up, revealing a vast basent-like space.
"Who goes there!"
No one had blocked them along the way, leading Dragon Spirit and his team to believe the passage wasn’t guarded.
Unexpectedly, after they reached the end, they were caught.
Upon the reprimand, news of an enemy attack was simultaneously dispatched.
Dragon Spirit promptly extended his claws, crushing the man’s throat before he could successfully halt the alarm.
"Brother Long, we’ve been discovered, what do we do now?"
Dragon Spirit wanted to respond with ’cold salad,’ but as the team’s leader, such comnts weren’t appropriate from his mouth.
"Obviously, we fight head-on!"
Having co this far, retreat was not an option.
Besides, who knew whether any dangers awaited them on the retreat route after the Black Robed People discovered them?
Unknown to Dragon Spirit, the path they walked was the sole living route, hence no perilous barriers were set.
All other pathways were traps where no intruders survived.
That explained why, once caught here, even if one escaped bindings, escaping was impossible.
It was either a dead end or deeper into the abyss.
Dragon Spirit surveyed the basent conditions; there was no peculiar aura around.
Apparently, this was rely a transit point.
"Disperse the vigil, I’ll check what’s above."
Just as Dragon Spirit finished speaking, the stairs in the basent emitted a ’ka ka ka’ sound.
Then, everyone watched as the steps rapidly retracted into the stone wall.
In rely a minute or two, the space effectively beca a jar.
And they were the turtles captured within.
"Should we retreat to the passage first; we have no idea what might suddenly appear here."
Presumably, the speaker was a jinx, as the mont he finished, the passageway they erged from also emitted a ’ka ka ka’ sound.
Then a giant stone-made door swiftly fell down.
The previous ’ka ka ka’ sound seed almost like a warning signal.
The dimly lit basent now turned completely pitch black.
Logically, given the dangerous scenario, Dragon Spirit should be anxious.
Yet, when the stone-made door at the passage fell, the previous suppression on Dragon Spirit, causing discomfort, and the incessant burning pain in his palm vanished.
There were only two reasons for this occurrence.
Either there was nothing suppressing various Great Demons here anymore, or the Great Demons were allied with the Black Robed People.
Either situation benefitted Dragon Spirit.
Having suffered at Five Emperors Mountain before, Dragon Spirit wouldn’t repeat the mistake.
He imdiately took out the talisman paper from He Tu and tossed it out.
Several loud "bang bang bang" sounds followed.
So gaps in the array within the basent now appeared.
Though not completely destroyed, this sufficed for Dragon Spirit.
As long as his thods weren’t restrained, he could truly overturn this place.
The Special Administration Bureau personnel knew Dragon Spirit was formidable, but they never anticipated he’d blow the place up unexpectedly without any warning.
No psychological preparation was left for them.
Luckily, they were experienced enough; otherwise, they surely would have been startled by the scene.
That would have made them appear a bit too shocked.
"Brother Long, what do you need us to do!"
They also had skills and strength; they were rely startled earlier.
"Find the concealed array here and destroy it."
Yan Ming was given an important role; since he’d lived among the Black Robed People for over a decade.
Even if he hadn’t been here and didn’t know the layout, he understood the Black Robed People’s thods.
Maybe, he could even contribute significantly in the process.
Yan Ming didn’t refuse, and adeptly began the investigation.
