Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 336
Zywia and Ryuu slowly moved cautiously under the effect of an array that disillusioned them which made them invisible, as they neared the altar Zywia’s eyes widen as Ryuu pointed towards something, under her amazing eyes she could easily see the ground surrounding the altar covered with various arrays most of which according to Ryuu was lethal.
Ryuu gave her a smug smile as he spoke, “Well I told you did I not, now you can see how they have already set up ambush, there look over there it even has poison imbedded there, if you trigger it you will end up being covered by poisonous cloud and if I am not mistaken it is venom from ‘Glacial Gecko’, hmmm nice choice but ineffective.”
Zywia sighed at that as she began, “You alch…”
Whatever she was saying was not heard by Ryuu as he had turned his head to look behind them and was shocked to see a rapidly approaching humongous wall of grayish-black smoke as the sky itself was being blanked by dark clouds, it was fast and he doubted that they could leave the place fast enough at the current pace as such he quickly barked out an order, “Zywia move fast and do not look back something dangerous is approaching and try to copy my moves.”
Zywia’s eyes widen suddenly as she dashed after Ryuu, as they moved fast through the maze of traps they had managed to garner attention of those who had set up various traps.
Chen was bored incredibly so, his team had managed to gather so far only a little of half of their quota they had thought that they would have a rich harvest from the defeated foes but so far it was mediocre and it was eating his nerves after all the people cooperating and working together would turn against each other at a moment’s notice if the situation is not salvaged they all needed to move on to the next level or their entire reason for arriving here would be for nothing as the will have to wait here for 10 years in order to step out of Eden, and being trapped at the first floor would do not good to anyone.
Chen let out a jaw ripping yawn before the ground shook hard as he turned towards one of his friends as he spoke curiously, “Fellow brother do you know what happened?”
The person in question just gave him a glance full of annoyance as he spoke with a huff, “Brother I am sitting here just like you and I know as much as you do so stop asking me and keep quite.”
Chen grumbled at being chastised like that, was it his fault that human sought companionship of course not humans are a social animal and he was a prime shining example of human and now he was forced to act like a non human, their wait turned out to be fruit full as sudden a man and woman appeared at the middle of the maze filled by traps the exact location of them well Chen doubted most of them remembered when he himself failed to do so but now they had a mystery in their which he intended to solve as he let out a sad sigh, ‘Those poor deluded fool of companions they now need the help of the most intelligent, handsome and humble Chen the Great Hero to discern the mystery of ‘Popping out like mole Man and Woman’, of well I will surely help them.’
His musing was cut short as he watched the duo move at incredibly speed and agility as they passed through the field full of traps as if they had already known their position but before he could capture them with his hands and legs tied behind his back and eyes blindfolded a shout brought him to his senses, “Everyone run a pyroclastic cloud is approaching.”
Upon hearing that shout many cultivators snorted at that some amongst them had been Body refining style cultivator as such they had been accustomed to harsher training and cultivation style than their KI refining style counterparts, some of whom had spend days submerged in lava to them what is a measly Pyroclastic cloud.
The Pyroclastic cloud washed over them as the duo had reached the altar as an array popped up courtesy of Ryuu, he knew that a Pyroclastic cloud was not strong enough to harm him but Zywia might be as she was a KI refiner style cultivate unlike him who was a hybrid but most importantly he so did not want to spend his entire day spitting and coughing to get the ash out of his mouth and lungs, not to mention he was not to fond of the smell of sulphur, as such he decided to pop and array too protect themselves from not only the pyroclastic cloud but also to buy them enough to time from the attacks of other cultivators as they try to move to the next stage.
Ryuu’s decision was right as brutal attacks rained on the protective bubble surrounding them, as Zywia had emptied her bag on the fire pit which was lit by a bluish flame as the flame took an interesting shade of orange Zywia simply vanished from his sight.
Ryuu looked at the cultivators swearing and gnashing their teeth, he let a smirk appear on his face as he looked at them, as he took out a talisman, normally he would have not bothered using talisman but who knows when his strength to use array without one might come in handy as such he decided to keep his card hidden.
The talisman melted into the protective bubble as another array got activated, another set of attack came and this time the attack was reflected back as the person let out a cry of pain as he was flung back stopping others in their endeavor as Ryuu emptied his bag as with an orangish hue he disappeared from that place.
As Ryuu reappeared he found himself looking at a similar altar but this time the flame was lit in an interesting shade of orange, but what set it apart was the water surrounding them and from the pressure he felt Ryuu deduced that he was at least 10000m below sea level, making him groan at that.
Zywia poked him as he turned to look at her he found her struggling to stay under that monumental pressure as such he willed his vessel to appear, and as it appeared in a flash the duo promptly swam inside it.
As Zywia gasped for air she spoke with shudder, “That pressure was intense I thought I was about to die from it within a next couple of seconds.”
Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, “So true the pressure was intense but I believe that us hybrid and body refiners would not have much problem, now let me go and move this ship it would not do good if it drew attention of something dreadful.”
With that as he left Zywia decided to follow him, “Ryuu what was that cloud?”
Ryuu turned to reply but hastily turned his head to the side with a blush upon seeing her wet clothes clinging like a second skin on top of her creamy milk colored skin as he spoke, “Well that was a volcanic cloud extremely dangerous.”
Zywia’s eyes widen at that as she spoke, “Do not tell me your array caused that.”
Ryuu winced at that as he cursed inwardly, ‘Damn that woman she grew brain when it was unneeded the most.’, as he coughed before speaking, “My array causing a volcanic eruption well it is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard though I can hazard a guess that it was caused by some nincompoop who had been trying to poke and prod might cause and sister I do not thing that staying wet will be good as such I will change my clothes inside the bridge while you do so in one of the spare rooms.”, with that he quickly entered the bridge as he left a fl.u.s.tered Zywia who hurriedly ran into the nearest room.
Meanwhile Ryuu had slid on the floor as he let out his breath which he had unconsciously held upon seeing Zywia like that as he spoke tiredly, ‘That was pathetic to act like some hormonal teen, that was simply pathetic.’
