Chapter 105: Starting to Set Up the Formation

Harris lowered his head and looked at the Storage Ring which Alan Heber had thrown at him. It recorded the very common records of ancient cultivators. Such a jade slip could record any language, image, or voice. It was an extremely rare material.
Later on, such materials became extremely scarce, so many secret manuals became paper-based materials.
There were two jade slips in the Storage Ring which Alan Hiber had thrown over. One recorded the information left behind by Gajeel when he was conscious, and the other recorded the more detailed contents of the Yin Corpse Reincarnation Technique which Gajeel had cultivated.
After Harris had read them, he passed them to Romo. After Romo had read them, he passed them to the next person. After everyone had read them, they fell into deep thought.
Although these things could very well prove what Alan Heber had said was true, there was also another possibility, which was that all these narratives and items were all fake information carefully prepared by Alan Heber to deceive those who had entered the cave.
Harris, Romo, and the others had all cultivated for one to two hundred years and had experienced countless truths and lies. Naturally, they would not easily believe in a stranger whom they had never seen before.
Everyone looked toward the two with the highest cultivation bases, Harris and Romo.
Harris did not know what to say for a moment, so he threw the question to Romo. “Mage Romo, what do you think?”
Romo pondered for a moment and thought of countless possibilities in his mind. However, he had to admit that this was the best solution thought of so far. If they did not give this a try, there was also no other option.
“I think we can give it a try,” Romo said.
This sentence had obviously shocked everyone. No one had expected Romo to choose to believe the old man’s words so quickly. Seeing everyone’s puzzled expression, Romo explained, “I don’t think we have any especially good solutions now. The most important thing for us to do now is to escape. Being overly suspicious and hesitant will only make our situation more difficult, so why don’t we give it a try.”
With that said, he looked at the stone coffin beneath Alan Heber. “And I’m very sure that the ghostly cultivator in the stone coffin is about to wake up soon. If we still hesitate, we won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
Indeed, everyone could sense that the ghostly cultivator in the stone coffin was about to wake up.
Even if Alan Heber was lying, once this ghostly cultivator regained consciousness, everyone would surely die. At least, in this aspect, Alan Heber had to be telling the truth.
Everyone carefully weighed the pros and cons again. They looked at each other and nodded, reaching a consensus.
Edward looked at Alan Heber and said, “Senior, can you explain the formation exactly in detail?”
Seeing that everyone had already made up their minds, Alan Heber said, “Of course. Actually, the formation I’m going to set up next is one of our Hexagram Formations.” Then, Alan Heber told everyone the various details about this formation.
The more Harris, Romo, and the others listened, the more confused they became. However, Edward was unexpectedly very interested in this formation. The more he listened, the more excited he became. He also kept talking to Alan Heber and asking him questions. Alan Heber also patiently answered him.
However, time was getting tight, and he could not explain the formation in full detail. Alan Heber said, “Actually, this formation is not to be divulged to outsiders, but the current situation is very critical. I have decided to impart this formation to you. Consider it our fate to meet here.”
Upon hearing this information, Edward was extremely excited. “Thank you, Senior. Thank you, Senior.”
Harris and Romo looked and felt that they had no more questions, so they said, “Senior, we’ll set up the formation according to your instructions.”
Alan Heber threw the five formation discs, which were hovering in the air, into the sky. The few formation discs flew toward the five of them. Edward was the first to catch the formation disc. He did not find anything unusual, so he gestured to the few of them to indicate that there was no problem, and that they could relax.
After the others had received the formation discs, they took a closer look and did not find any problems.
“It’s up to you guys now,” said Alan Heber.
The few of them walked tacitly in different directions, and they each went to set up the formation, leaving Shirley alone to wait where she was, in case anything unexpected happened and she could intercept it in time.
Similarly, it was also to monitor Alan Heber. Alan Heber naturally knew their intentions, but he did not expose them.
Soon, the few of them had reached the designated location and started to set up the formation. They kept releasing their auras to inform the others of their location and situation.
However, no one had noticed that as Romo held the formation disc and kept walking forward, there was a faint smile on his face that no one could detect.
After walking for a while, everyone’s aura had become very weak, and they could only stop in their tracks. Romo discovered that many shadows had appeared in front of him, and they were swaying. Weren’t these the corpses that had just fought with them?
This should be the edge of the safe zone. If they took another step forward, they would be in danger.
Romo stood there for a while and thought for a moment. Then, he stretched out his right foot and stepped hard on the ground. Instantly, a shallow crater appeared in the ground. Immediately, Romo placed the formation disc under his feet and began to set up the formation.
In an instant, the formation disc emitted a scarlet light and started to gradually seep into the black fog. The same situation happened to the others.
According to Alan Hiber, the few of them would have to continue like this for a day before they would be able to form a complete Five Elements Evil Suppression Formation. By then, they would be able to suppress Gajeel.
At that moment, Alan Heber would be able to regain his freedom, and the few of them would be able to break through the formation and successfully escape from this place. After they got out, they could split the treasures of Alan Heber. Wouldn’t that be a very good thing?
However, Romo had already made plans in his mind. As he maintained the formation, he turned around and smiled wickedly.
Only Romo knew that the show had just begun.
Suddenly, a series of System notifications appeared in Romo’s mind.
[Your descendants have just completed a ritual by the entire clan and obtained the right to a Special Gift Bag.]
[The Special Gift Bag is available in the System Shop.]
Romo then remembered that this was the day where the gift bag would be refreshed once every month. Hence, he opened the special gift bag.
