MEIWITA Chapter 629: The Secret of the Natural Barrier
The two red-haired men behaved in the same way, and they formed their seals respectively. The surrounding fire elements in the air fluctuated violently and a fire elemental array enveloped Lou Mu Yan and her spirit pets.
Lou Mu Yan’s lips curled up in a playful arc. So it turned out that these two demonic beasts knew arrays. No wonder she discovered that the natural barrier outside had been tampered with when she broke it.
“The natural barrier restriction outside was activated by you two right?” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Of course. But to be able to breakthrough part of the barrier and enter with your cultivation base, your array attainments aren’t bad either.” One of the red-haired men looked at her with pity and said: “It’s just a pity that you’ll die soon.”
Lou Mu Yan chuckled: “Although you can activate the natural barrier restriction, but you both can’t leave right.”
“What did you say?” The originally smiling face of the other man suddenly darkened.
How did this woman know they couldn’t leave?
“The natural barrier restriction is actually mainly aimed at the demonic beasts in the live volcano. It’s just that after it was activated by you two, you used it to attract more people to enter to hunt for treasure.”
Lou Mu Yan paused, then said: “Then you’d kill all the people you tricked inside, and refine all their elemental essence and soul energy to improve your mental energy.”
She discovered that the natural barrier could change freely, which meant it must be controlled by people.
The two demonic beasts activated the barrier restriction to intermediate-level grade 7. Those Sword Masters who could beak such a restriction wouldn’t have a low cultivation base, so they’d be perfect to help their cultivation.
And with the natural barrier restriction, the Sword Masters who arrived would definitely believe that there was Pyrofluorite in the live volcano so they’d only want to break into it even more.
The red-haired man narrowed his eyes that were filled with dangerous light.
“You’re wrong. There’s indeed Pyrofluorite and spirit flames. The news we released isn’t a lie.
“From the moment we were born, we’ve been trapped in this active volcano. The naturally formed barrier is actually to prevent us from leaving, and preventing others from entering, then using us demonic beasts as food to nourish the live volcano for the Pyrofluorite’s birth.
“After we discovered that we couldn’t leave, we started to look for the reason, but after investigating little by little, it led us to find that the live volcano had actually birthed a sliver of intelligence, and many demonic beasts in the mountain would inexplicably vanish as soon as they broke through Earth Elemental Realm.
“So we kept hiding, and when all the demonic beasts above Saint Tier died, we emerged and became the new kings of the live volcano.
“When we were anxious and afraid that we’d disappear after breaking through, suddenly one day, a group of human mercenaries broke in.
“After we killed them all secretly, we discovered a book of soul refining skills and an array chart Clan inheritance. We started to study it when we were bored.
“And this unintentional move made us see the hope of leaving. We discovered that as long as our soul energy and mental energy could advance to Earth Elemental Realm before our cultivation base, we could escape from this restriction.
“Ever since refining the soul energy of that team of mercenaries and seeing their memories of the outside world, we were filled with longing for the outside world and our determination to leave became firmer.
“Then we used a secret soul skill in the soul refining book to control two of the already dead high-level Sword Masters, returning them back to the human world to secretly release rumours that there was news of the birth of the Pyrofluorite and spirit flame here.
“As we expected, there were waves of Sword Master teams who came to explore the treasure one after another, but they could never leave again.”
Maybe because they had been too lonely for many millennia, maybe they treated Lou Mu Yan and the rest as the dead already, or maybe Lou Mu Yan was the first to discover their secret, so the red-haired man slowly told their story.
“You simply don’t understand the pain and intolerability.”
Lou Mu Yan, Mo Yan, and the other spirit pets didn’t expect that the demonic beasts opposite would tell their secrets so carelessly.
But they couldn’t help but sigh—after being trapped here for thousands of years, although they were scheming enough, but because there was no contact with the outside world, there was also some naivety.
“You mean this live volcano has intelligence?” Lou Mu Yan grasped the key point.
The red-hot man nodded and said: “Of course, otherwise, how could we have been trapped by it for thousands of years.”
“It cultivated into a demon cultivator from a spiritual mountain?” Lou Mu Yan continued to ask.
“Not quite. It spent all its energy on nourishing the Pyrofluorite and spirit flames, and its intelligence is pretty low.”
If it weren’t that they were demonic beasts inexplicably born in the live volcano, and there was an invisible force that could restrain them, they’d have escaped the control of that stupid volcano with their cultivation and smarts.
He paused, and furrowed his brows, saying: “Why’s a dying person asking so much?”
“How about we cooperate?” Lou Mu Yan asked instead.
The two red-haired men sneered: “Cooperate? With you?”
“Yeah! Simply based on the fact that I can take you out of this natural barrier restriction right now.” Lou Mu Yan nodded confidently.
She now roughly understood that the intelligence of the live volcano was pretty low, but there was still a force that could control and annihilate all the native plants and demonic beasts in the volcano.
But there was no binding force on the Sword Masters and demon cultivators outside, so a natural barrier restriction was created to isolate it from the world. However, these two highly intelligent demonic beasts took advantage of a loophole.
“No need.” One of the red-haired men refused: “After devouring and refining the soul energy of your four waves of people, our mental energy should also be able to reach Earth Elemental Realm. We’re not interested in cooperation.”
“Since that’s the case, then let’s fight.” Lou Mu Yan shrugged.
The eyes of these two ignorant demonic beasts were filled with killing intent and greed for them. It seemed impossible to make peace.
Originally, she didn’t want to do so much work. If they could cooperate, she could even investigate more about this live volcano and the spirit flames from these two demonic beasts.
But since they had the intent to kill first, then they wouldn’t be polite either.
“HAHA…” A red-clothed man laughed aloud: “Die.”
He inserted a seal, and the array enveloping Lou Mu Yan and the others was instantly activated.
Lou Mu Yan revealed a meaningful smile, and snapped her fingers, “Break!”
One saw a purple-gold fire qi’lin emerge from the ground, open its mouth wide, and devoured all the energy condensed by the blazing array.
Lou Mu Yan took out the golden longsword and slashed at will. The array immediately collapsed and dissipated.
“What?” The two demon cultivators obviously didn’t expect her to have such abilities.
The eyes of the two were filled with ruthlessness, and they joined hands to attack Lou Mu Yan’s head. That force revealed that they were determined to kill her.
“Seeking death!” Mo Yan huffed coldly.
He stood in front of Lou Mu Yan. A cluster of eerie flames burst out from between his brows, instantly defusing the menacing attacks of the two demon cultivators.
The expressions in the eyes of the two demon cultivators changed drastically when they saw the cluster of flames that turned into two flaming clouds. For the first time in so many years, they felt the force of death.
Before the two demon cultivators could beg for mercy, the two flaming clouds engulfed them in an instant.
They didn’t even have time to scream before being burnt to ashes by Mo Yan’s natal demon flame.
With a beckon of his hand, the cluster of eerie flames flew into his body, and two rays of red light also fell into his sea of consciousness for refining.
