Chapter 106: Mistake

Meng Zhang walked to Deep EarthSpirit General's side, and without saying much, they exchanged a glance and took a step forward.

As they moved, Han Tu also relaxed, urging the group of Cultivators he brought to enter the Formation. Finally, Han Tu entered a specific position alone.

Meng Zhang took a step forward, and the scene before him immediately changed.

The once empty and vast space turned into a towering mountain reaching to the clouds.

Meng Zhang and Deep EarthSpirit General stood at the foot of the mountain.

The sudden change in scenery didn't surprise Meng Zhang; instead, he grinned and said to Deep EarthSpirit General, "Unexpectedly, you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are capable of playing tricks."

Deep EarthSpirit General didn't respond but continued to carefully observe the surroundings.

Knowing Deep EarthSpirit General's reticent nature, Meng Zhang didn't mind and continued, "A mere lackey of the demon race thinks he can fool us. I wonder who the real fool is."

Ever since he first saw Han Tu, Meng Zhang felt that something was off about him. Through his Deception Breaking Eye, he sensed a strange aura surrounding Han Tu.

Before Meng Zhang could react, Deep EarthSpirit General secretly transmitted a message to him.

"Human Pet."

Upon hearing these two words, Meng Zhang immediately understood Han Tu's true identity.

Many Human Clan Cultivators enslaved demonic beasts as their familiars. Similarly, powerful demonic beasts would also enslave Human Clan Cultivators as their Human Pets.

However, in the Endless Sea of Sand, the demonic beast forces were not strong, and there were no significantly powerful demonic beast tribes. Without powerful demonic beasts, it was difficult for them to produce formidable demonic beasts.

If a group of demonic beasts appeared within the area controlled by Human Clan Cultivators, it would immediately attract many of them. They would slaughter the demonic beasts to obtain various materials from their bodies.

Meng Zhang had only heard rumors about the existence of Human Pets but had never seen one in person.

Deep EarthSpirit General's ability to recognize Han Tu's identity immediately put Meng Zhang on high alert.

Once Han Tu's true identity was exposed, it would draw the siege of countless Human Clan Cultivators.

This person willingly took such risks to enter this place, indicating that there must be some deep secrets involved.

As for the Treasure Map he allegedly obtained from the market that led him here, Meng Zhang didn't believe a single word of it.

Therefore, Meng Zhang and Deep EarthSpirit General put on a show together.

Meng Zhang wanted to see what this guy's real intentions were.

As a Human Clan Cultivator, Meng Zhang naturally had the duty to eliminate demons and evil spirits.

Deep EarthSpirit General, who appeared simple and honest, was quite skilled at deceiving people as well.

The so-called "Gengjin Chaotic Sword Formation" was nothing more than a made-up name. Its purpose was to trick these people into entering the formation.

While Meng Zhang had some knowledge of formations, Deep EarthSpirit General was a Geomancer with profound accomplishments in the field of formations.

After entering this Formation, Deep EarthSpirit General could fully utilize its power to cause significant harm to these people. Conversely, he could also use them to deplete the formation's power.

While Meng Zhang spoke, he advanced.

In the empty space ahead, a golden light suddenly appeared, slashing directly towards Meng Zhang.

Prepared in advance, Meng Zhang remained calm and raised his right hand, unleashing a golden flame to meet the attack.

After a series of crackling sounds, the golden light vanished, and Meng Zhang retracted his flame.

The Solar True Flame that Meng Zhang diligently cultivated was effective against the Gengjin Sword Qi accumulated within the Formation.

Having easily neutralized the killing intent within the formation, Meng Zhang turned to look at Deep EarthSpirit General beside him.

"Deep Earth, how much longer until you find the eye of this Formation?"

Meng Zhang's Deception Breaking Eye could barely protect him within this Second Rank Formation. To break the formation, they would have to rely on Deep EarthSpirit General.

"Stop!," Deep EarthSpirit General called out in a somewhat anxious tone.

"What's wrong?" Meng Zhang stopped and looked puzzled.

"I made a mistake. I didn't see through the secrets of this Formation."

"My current strength is still too weak. While outside, I didn't notice the hidden mysteries of this Formation. It was only when we entered that I realized something was wrong."

Deep EarthSpirit General's tone carried a sense of frustration and disappointment.

Geomancers surpassed many professional Formation Masters in their understanding of formations. Only those top-tier Formation Masters could slightly outshine Geomancers in this aspect.

For a Geomancer to fail to see through the mysteries of a Formation and rashly enter it was not only a mistake but also a great humiliation.

Deep EarthSpirit General's words made Meng Zhang nervous as well.

As the Deep EarthSpirit General with the battle strength of a Gold Core Daoist Master, Meng Zhang had high expectations for him.

Unexpectedly, he encountered problems on his first attempt.

"Now what? Are we going to be trapped within the Formation?" Meng Zhang asked anxiously.

Deep EarthSpirit General didn't answer but kept scanning the surroundings while constantly manipulating his fingers as if calculating something.

After a while, Deep EarthSpirit General finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, we haven't gone too deep into the Formation. If we retreat now, there should still be a glimmer of hope."

Meng Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Led by Deep EarthSpirit General, they didn't continue forward but walked towards a nearby lush forest, where trees covered the area, and green leaves flourished.

"Beyond this is the Living Gate. Use all your strength and do your best to open it as quickly as possible," Deep EarthSpirit General instructed.

Without hesitation, Meng Zhang immediately unleashed all his power.

The Solar True Flame, strengthened by the Fire Seal in his hand, surged forward, turning the trees ahead into ashes.

His flying sword, Soft Around The Finger, flew forward, continuously swirling and delivering powerful strikes.

Deep EarthSpirit General's large fists emanated an earthy yellow light, fiercely pounding the ground ahead, causing it to tremble incessantly. Meng Zhang and Deep EarthSpirit General both gave their all and attacked relentlessly.

"Not enough, it's still not enough," Deep EarthSpirit General muttered anxiously while looking at the sky.

Since awakening, Deep EarthSpirit General had always been an esteemed figure in Meng Zhang's mind. He had never seen him this anxious before.

Growing more and more frantic, Deep EarthSpirit General seemed to make a certain decision. His body emitted a series of bone-cracking sounds, and suddenly, he grew significantly taller.

Deep EarthSpirit General, who was already tall and sturdy, now looked like a small giant.

An aura significantly surpassing the strength of the Refining Qi stage emanated from his body.

"Aren't you only at the high completion of the Refining Qi stage? How can you transform and increase your strength after the transformation?" Meng Zhang was bewildered.

Deep EarthSpirit General didn't have time to explain Meng Zhang's doubts. He raised both fists as if he were beating a drum and madly pounded the void ahead.
