Turning his head to look at Nan Jianjun, who was still immersed in the illusion and continuously waving the Longsword in his hand, Ling Mo Xie frowned as he glanced at the table and the Incense Burner in front of him. It must be right here.
"Damn it!" Ling Mo Xie couldn't find the clue for a long time. With one hand on his waist and the other slapping down on the Incense Burner in frustration, a soft "thud" sounded as a stick of incense broke inside. Almost simultaneously, a thud was heard behind him as something fell to the ground.
"Nan Jianjun!" Hearing the sound, Ling Mo Xie turned around to see that Nan Jianjun had collapsed to the ground, exhausted. He hurried over, thinking that perhaps this incense was the core of that formation.
At this moment, Ling Mo Xie didn't understand formations, so he didn't dwell on it much. He helped Nan Jianjun, who was drenched in sweat and trembling all over, and said, "Sword Master, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just consider it sword practice!" Nan Jianjun forced a bitter smile and said self-deprecatingly. Seeing the scene before him, he naturally realized that he had fallen into an illusion formation earlier.
Ling Mo Xie took out a Small Blue Bottle to restore some spiritual energy for him. The two sat on the ground to rest for a while before Nan Jianjun finally spoke up, "This place looks quite dangerous. Should we continue?"
"Of course we should! Damn it! I refuse to believe that this little Ruins can take my life! To be honest with you, this Ruins should be where our Ling Family trained the Death Warriors! I just don’t know why it has been abandoned for so long!" Ling Mo Xie clenched his fists and struck the ground as he spoke.
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's explanation, Nan Jianjun's expression changed. "What did you say? This is a Ruins for training Death Warriors!?"
"Yes!" Before Ling Mo Xie could finish speaking, a rustling sound came from nearby. "What is that sound?" Ling Mo Xie asked in confusion. Meanwhile, Nan Jianjun had already stood up alertly, gripping his Longsword, clearly on guard against something.
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's question, he replied in a low voice, "Since this is for training Death Warriors, it must be very strict! And that illusion formation we encountered earlier was probably also for training Death Warriors! Since the illusion formation hasn't failed, it means that other devices for training Death Warriors haven't failed either!"
With that, a pitch-black scorpion fell to the ground and charged toward the dazed Ling Mo Xie. It was swiftly dispatched by Nan Jianjun with a single strike. Green liquid oozed from its body, corroding a dark mark into the ground.
With this vanguard's arrival, countless scorpions, spiders, and snakes began to drop from the ceiling and emerge from the cracks in the walls—an overwhelming swarm rushing toward Ling Mo Xie and Nan Jianjun.
"Previously, the training for Death Warrior might not have been this intense; it seems we are in danger!" Nan Jianjun said with a frown. "If I’m not mistaken, there are hidden passages and mechanisms in the ceilings and wall seams. It should be that you destroyed the illusion array, just like when the illusion array training for Death Warrior ended, these mechanisms opened up, and the passage from the Cultivation Pool to this Hall began to release toxins! After so many years, who knows how much poison has accumulated in that Cultivation Pool!"
"These are just ordinary toxins!" Ling Mo Xie asked in confusion; how could this pose a threat to them?
"Think about it. After experiencing the illusion array, wouldn't those Death Warriors be exhausted and drained of spiritual energy? At that point, even ordinary toxins might be impossible for them to evade! Although we still have spiritual energy, after so many years, who knows how much those toxins have accumulated or if any have evolved into something more dangerous?" Nan Jianjun explained gravely, swinging his Longsword and slashing down any approaching toxins. A pile of toxin corpses had already accumulated around the two.
However, those toxins showed no fear and continued to rush toward them in a dark mass, which was chilling upon closer inspection!
Ling Mo Xie also did not remain idle, continuously using the Fireball technique. With a loud explosion, he sent a fireball into the mass of toxins, incinerating a group into charred remains and forcing back the surrounding toxins.
As a result, Ling Mo Xie gained over a hundred experience points; these toxins were merely ordinary creatures, each yielding only one Experience Point. For Ling Mo Xie, who needed hundreds of thousands of Experience Points to level up now, it was better than nothing.
After tirelessly killing for a long time, Ling Mo Xie frowned and said, "This won't do! These toxins seem endless, but our energy is not infinite. When we exhaust our spiritual energy and become utterly fatigued, that will be our demise!"
Nan Jianjun nodded in agreement and pointed to a passageway. "Then let's head down! We’ll break through that passage!"
"Alright!" Ling Mo Xie cast another Fireball, clearing a long line of toxins and revealing a path free of their presence. Both Ling Mo Xie and Nan Jianjun hurried into that passage. However, there were simply too many toxins; before long, the passage was again filled with them, making it nearly impossible to move while also having to guard against the toxins surrounding them—truly unbearable.
This situation couldn't continue! Remembering the two skills he had acquired over the past couple of days, Ling Mo Xie pondered for a moment before conjuring a Fire Wall beside him to block the encroaching toxins while incinerating many of the reckless ones charging forward.
With his eyes lighting up, Ling Mo Xie realized he had found a solution! The cooldown time for the Fire Wall Technique was one second, and its duration was half a minute; he could definitely use the Fire Wall to create a safe passage!
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's use of the Fire Wall Technique, Nan Jianjun was delighted and said, "Now we have hope!" As he spoke, he seamlessly switched positions with Ling Mo Xie, who immediately understood what was meant and quickly set up another Fire Wall Technique on his other side.
The two of them smiled at each other, realizing that their plan was indeed effective, and they continued forward towards the Fire Wall Technique. Meanwhile, Nan Jianjun walked backward, facing away from Ling Mo Xie, responsible for defending against the poisonous creatures that would rush in once the Fire Wall disappeared.
As they approached the dark passage ahead, victory seemed within reach, and both of them showed signs of joy. Suddenly, there was a tremor from the ceiling, accompanied by a series of cracking and rumbling sounds, as if some enormous creature was above them. Ling Mo Xie felt a tightening in his chest and looked up, only to see dust falling from the ceiling not far ahead. He even noticed the ceiling shifting slightly, with a crack appearing on its surface.
"What is this?" Ling Mo Xie wondered as he gazed at the ceiling, his mind filled with questions. Could it be that there were too many poisonous creatures in one area for the ceiling to bear? No, that couldn't be right! This ceiling was not made of ordinary materials; it was constructed from a type of wood that combined flexibility with strength, even suitable for crafting Yellow Rank weapons!
