Chapter 700: The Gatekeeper BOSS
Chapter 700: The Gatekeeper BOSS
Bing Province, Wind Spirit Valley, within the Yinhuai Confusion Array.
After Lu HaiKong's mighty axe strike, a system notification promptly appeared.
【You have destroyed the special array, the Yinhuai Confusion Array, and obtained a Mythical Treasure Chest!】
This system notification did not stir any excitement within Lu HaiKong's heart, as he was not thrilled by the acquisition of a Mythical Treasure Chest at this moment.
It wasn't that Lu HaiKong had become so wealthy that he no longer valued Mythical Treasure Chests, but rather, at this moment, all of Lu HaiKong's attention was drawn to his own eyes.
When Lu HaiKong used Celestial Detection within the Yinhuai Confusion Array, he thought that his Celestial Eye Technique had already broken through. However, in reality, his Celestial Eye Technique had not yet advanced.
At that time, Lu HaiKong's Celestial Eye Technique was merely at the brink of a breakthrough, in a peculiar state. It wasn't until the moment Lu HaiKong's axe shattered the array core of the Yinhuai Confusion Array that his eyes seemed to absorb some energy, and his Celestial Eye Technique began to advance.
Unlike the pain he experienced when learning the Celestial Eye Technique, Lu HaiKong did not feel that pain again. Instead, he felt a refreshing and tingling sensation.
During this sensation, Lu HaiKong's mental power and focus were drawn into his eyes.
Even Lu HaiKong couldn't explain what he was experiencing; he only felt that the surroundings were filled with mysterious runes, which intrigued and puzzled him.
As Lu HaiKong immersed himself in the advancement of his Celestial Eye Technique, he didn't notice that the dense fog within the Yinhuai Confusion Array was slowly descending and seeping into the ground. It was as if an unseen force beneath was drawing the white mist inward.
However, this process was not rapid. At this rate, it would take several days for the white mist to be completely absorbed. No one had noticed this detail yet, and even if they did, it wouldn't be of much concern; at most, they would assume it was a normal occurrence after the Yinhuai Confusion Array's destruction.
Thirty minutes later, Lu HaiKong's Celestial Eye Technique finally reached a complete breakthrough. The cool and refreshing sensation also vanished, and a system notification sounded.
【Congratulations! Your proficiency in the Celestial Eye Technique has increased, and the skill level has been elevated. The current level of the Celestial Eye Technique is now 2.】
The system notification was straightforward, and Lu HaiKong had expected that the advancement of the Celestial Eye Technique would unlock a new skill. However, the anticipated new skill didn't appear, leaving Lu HaiKong somewhat disappointed.
When the upgrade was complete, the cool sensation in Lu HaiKong's eyes disappeared, and his vision became clear. Lu HaiKong realized that the skill level increase was not in vain.
He discovered that his eyes seemed to have gained a certain ability, although it hadn't been activated yet.
Even without the activation of this ability, Lu HaiKong had gained some benefits. The most apparent improvement was in his eyesight, which had significantly enhanced. With his current vision, as long as he focused his mind, he could see objects over a thousand meters away, as long as they weren't obstructed.
Additionally, Lu HaiKong's ability to appraise with his eyes seemed to have improved slightly, with enhancements in various aspects. As for the extent of the improvement, Lu HaiKong would have to gradually discover it himself over time. But for now, Lu HaiKong had more important matters to attend to.
With the Yinhuai Confusion Array shattered by his axe, Lu HaiKong's next task was to find Li Xiong.
He had a hunch that Li Xiong should be within this Yinhuai Confusion Array.
After his eyes recovered, Lu HaiKong could see his surroundings clearly. Initially, he thought that as the array core, this place should have some unique scenery, but when he looked closely, he found that it was just an ordinary Yinhuai tree, nothing special. The hidden power was quite impressive.
After a brief moment of awe, Lu HaiKong began a meticulous search within the Yinhuai Confusion Array.
Perhaps because Lu HaiKong's Celestial Eye Technique had already advanced, despite the dense fog still enveloping the array, he could now see his surroundings clearly, and his vision was sharp. He could even discern faint clues within the mist.
Lu HaiKong, originally a homebody, had not learned any reconnaissance techniques before his transmigration. Even after his transmigration, he had not specifically studied this aspect.
Initially, Lu HaiKong had intended to study the Yinhuai Confusion Array...
Having smashed it himself, Lu Hai was now considering whether to enlist the help of the Black Wind Legion for the upcoming search.
At that moment, Lu Hai discovered that his Celestial Eye Technique seemed to have passively enhanced his tracking abilities, allowing him to detect and analyze useful information from things he would usually overlook.
Despite the fact that the effects of his Celestial Detection had already faded, Lu Hai skillfully navigated the Yinhuai Confusion Array, using the limited clues to successfully locate a special location within the array.
Following the clues, Lu Hai continued on his journey until he reached a place devoid of any Yinhuai trees.
In this area, within several hundred square meters, there wasn't a single Yinhuai tree, only a mysterious stone gate.
As Lu Hai's gaze focused on the stone gate, its attributes immediately appeared before him.
Mysterious Stone Gate
Description: Beyond this gate lies a mysterious place, seemingly fraught with great danger. Those with strength below 80 should not enter.
"Another instance dungeon? It seems like Li Xiong and his group are inside."
Lu Hai's eyes flashed with determination as he noticed numerous traces of people near the mysterious stone gate. These traces eventually disappeared near the gate, indicating that someone had entered the gate within the past few days.
Whoever entered the gate recently, if not Li Xiong, must be a member of the Black Wind Legion.
After understanding the situation, Lu Hai didn't hesitate. Without looking back to find his companions, he directly pushed open the mysterious stone gate.
To Lu Hai's surprise, although the gate appeared heavy, it opened with minimal effort. As he pushed, the gate swung open, revealing a pitch-black, freezing passage leading downward. Without hesitation, Lu Hai stepped into the passage.
As Lu Hai entered the passage, a system notification sounded.
"You have entered a special map {Mysterious Place} and obtained a Gold Chest."
Finding a treasure chest right at the entrance was a good omen, and Lu Hai chuckled as he continued down the passage.
The passage was long and seemed to descend further, and the environment should have been dark, almost pitch-black. However, perhaps due to Lu Hai's Celestial Eye Technique, he could see clearly in this environment.
Although it wasn't as bright as daylight, everything was still visible.
Lu Hai didn't find any traces of horses in the passage but noticed footprints of about a hundred people. It seemed like Li Xiong and his group had abandoned their horses and entered on foot.
Following these footprints, Lu Hai continued downward for about half an hour before finally exiting the passage.
Beyond the passage was a room of about a hundred square meters, illuminated by a dozen fire pits with a bright yellow glow.
Lu Hai carefully observed the room and found numerous traces of activity. From these traces, it appeared that Li Xiong and his group had stayed in the room for a significant period.
As Lu Hai's gaze fell upon a certain spot, he suddenly froze. He had spotted bloodstains, somewhat dried but not too old, probably left within the past two or three days.
It was clear that Li Xiong and his group had encountered something in this room.
Seeing this, Lu Hai tensed up and quickly began investigating, meticulously collecting the traces left in the room.
"Found it!"
Through these traces, Lu Hai discovered a hidden door.
Just as Lu Hai was about to open the hidden door and enter, he suddenly felt a new presence in the room.
It was an extremely cold presence, devoid of any hint of life.
Lu Hai quickly turned around and looked back. To his surprise, a stone statue had appeared in the room and was now approaching him.
Lu Hai's eyes narrowed, and the attributes of the statue appeared before him.
Mysterious Statue
Identity: Gatekeeper BOSS (???)
Strength: 90
Statue Ability: Absolute Defense
Absolute Defense: An active ability. When activated, for five minutes, no attack, regardless of its nature, can affect the statue.
"A gatekeeper BOSS? I like it!"
Lu Hai's eyes lit up with fervor, and he raised his Savage Axe, abandoning the hidden door and charging towards the statue...
