Ye Hao said, “It’s normal for them to be incomplete; those two black-robed men probably interrupted their work when we arrived.”
“That’s not what I meant.” Shen Hongxiu shook her head, “This Array in itself is very complete. What I mean is… it seems to be just a part of a much larger Array.”
Chu Xuan seemed startled, “Do you mean that there might be similar arrays in other places in this 1st Secret Realm, and many of these Square Stele Arrays are combined to form a large array?”
“Exactly!” Shen Hongxiu nodded lightly.
Ye Hao was taken aback, “They… want to overturn the entire First Secret
Realm? It is so vast, even though it has been designated as a Secret Realm, East Sea City has been exploring for so many years and still hasn’t completed the exploration! ”
“What on earth do they want to do?”
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, “I seem to have found a reason why we were besieged by the Wind Wolves in Wind-Controlling Valley…”
Everyone looked at Chen Fan.
He said solemnly, “The Wind Wolf King from Wind-controlling Valley was corrupted by demon powers and launched an attack on us with the Wind Wolves. We found it baffling.”
“Later, Chu Xuan hypothesized that someone was trying to delay our entry into the 1st Secret Realm. However, we couldn’t understand why.”
“Why would a group of students, who were merely training on the perimeter of the Secret Realm, attract attention?”
“What’s the point of delaying a group of students’ trials?”
“Now, connecting the incident in Wind-controlling Valley with this Array, everything seems to make sense…”
Chu Xuan nodded and said solemnly, “They are plotting something in this
Secret Realm, planning to set up a grand formation in many places”
“Some of these places are likely to be in the trial zone!”
“So, knowing that the students of War God Academy are coming for the trial, they stirred up trouble in the Wind-controlling Valley!”
“The teachers found out that the Wind Wolf King was corrupted by the Demon, so they let us wait in Wind-controlling Valley for more than half an hour until East Sea City sent a strongman to us, only then did we set off again!”
Everyone exchanged glances, all taken aback.
If Chu Xuan and Chen Fan conjecture is true, wouldn’t that mean that there are people from Nightmare Hall in many places of this 1st Secret Realm?
The Red Sleeve reassured, “The Desert Wind Falcon is very fast; I hope they can react in time after receiving the information and take certain measures…”
Ye Hao looked at Chen Fan and said, “No matter what they’re planning, it certainly can’t be good.”
“Brother Fan, should we destroy this Array first?”
Shen Daodao nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, if this large array is fully activated, won’t we be directly trapped inside it, at their mercy?”
Chu Xuan raised his hand to stop them, “The array has not been fully completed and is not truly activated, there is no need to rush.”
“The best strategy is to wait for the arrival of powerful people from East Sea
City! ”
Chen Fan nodded, “We’ll wait a little longer.”
Shen Hongxiu and the others only took half an hour to come from the shortcut to Circular Mountain.
Knowing the teleportation route, East Sea City’s strongman would definitely be much faster than them.
If they have a Flying Guardian Beast, they would be even faster.
No need to wait very long.
The Shen Hongxiu and her Guardian Beasts stood back, and Chen Fan walked over to the pile of monster corpses.
Shen Hongxiu and the others also followed.
Chu Xuan swept his eyes over the crowd and said, “There are Blood Petal Flower Demons, Flame Demons, Magic Tyrannosaurus, and all kinds of monsters that are not found in Circular Mountain.’
“They might have transported the monsters they killed elsewhere to here.”
Shen Hongxiu nodded and said, “Most of the time, the arrays require Monster Crystals Cores. They must have wanted to use all the Crystal Cores and blood of these monsters on the array… You can see that the heads of some monsters have been excavated.”
“And some Crystal Cores have already been embedded into the array!”
Chen Fan checked the bodies of a few monsters and got a lot of blood on his hands, “A lot of the bodies are still warm, and the blood is still flowing; they haven’t been dead for long.”
Shen Daodao, who had been panicking, began to feel excited at the sight of such a large pile of monster corpses, “Did you guys notice… the bodies of these monsters are huge!”
“Look at the Blood Petal Flower Demon corpse in front of Chu Xuan, it’s as big as the level nine Blood Petal Flower Demon we killed on the way here!”
“Could it be that these monsters are all level eight or nine or above?”
Chen Fan glanced at the monster corpses and gently nodded, “There are indeed many level eight and nine monsters, and even level ten and eleven, but the majority are level six and seven.”
As he spoke, Chen Fan grabbed a monster by the leg and pulled it out from the pile of corpses.
It was a snow-white beast, with a head like a lion’s but with sharp horns,
“Light Blade Blood Lion?”
