Forging The Path To Godliness

Chapter 183: Getting Away

 

If this was a normal mountain, then silence would be understandable. But now was different, he had seen many traces of battle along the way, but he heard no such commotion.

He was already quite close to the top of the mountain, but it was still silent.

Logically speaking, there should be a lot of people who were ahead of him, how could the battle have ended so quickly?

It was too quick, something must have happened.

Ye Feng felt a little frustrated, he continued to speed up as he rushed to the top.

At the top of the mountain, a shocking sight awaited him.

There seemed to be an array formation on the mountain top, there was a two meters tall rock pillar at the center, and surrounding it, there were around thirty people standing at irregular spots.

All of them had varying postures but they stood unmoving like a statue, similar to Ye Feng back in the cave.

Back then, Ye Feng was still conscious despite being unable to move, he was able to make noises. But from their hollow expressions, it seemed like they were not conscious.

But since they were only immobilized, these people’s lives should not be in danger, otherwise, Ye Feng would have no choice but to escape.

He would not dare to approach something that could kill so many people instantly.

He only had one life, he could not take such a fatal risk just for the treasure on top of the rock pillar.

But since the formation would not kill, he could try to enter it slowly. It was possible that the array formation could only activate once, right?

It was fortunate that Ye Feng was not a bloodthirsty person, otherwise, he could simply kill these thirty defenseless people with his magic.

After some hesitation, Ye Feng stepped into the formation.

Since he was going in personally anyway, there was no need to test it with other things.

But the moment he stepped in, two lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere and shot at his leg. Thankfully, Ye Feng reacted quickly and retracted his leg.

“This lightning is quite strong…” Ye Feng frowned.

He could endure just a few bolts but if they attacked him continuously after he entered the formation, he would not be able to keep himself safe against an endless barrage of attacks.

“The distance isn’t very long…” Ye Feng suddenly thought of the method that he used to cross the swamp earlier.

Ye Feng took out the Lightning Whip and swung it. His control over it was quite poor, and because the item on top of the pillar was not large, he might not succeed in getting it.

“Never mind, whether I can obtain this item or not, I’ll leave it to fate.” Ye Feng let out a deep breath as he injected magical energy into the whip before swinging it.

The process was much smoother than he thought, the thing on the pillar was not particularly big but it was quite heavy, the whip did not just flick it away from the pillar.

After successfully wrapping around it, Ye Feng pulled and retrieved the item.

The moment the item left the pillar, the formation was dispelled. The thirty or so people were first dazed before they saw Ye Feng who was carrying a box.

“This kid took the treasure!” Someone shouted as everyone turned to look at Ye Feng.

“You must calm down, I saved your life.” There were around thirty people here, Ye Feng subconsciously took a step back: “If I wanted to kill you, I would have done so earlier when you were trapped in the formation.”

“Then regret not killing us!” Someone said viciously: “Let’s kill him first, we can split the loot later!”

After he said that, everyone responded by attacking Ye Feng.

“Incorrigible!”

Ye Feng waved his left hand as countless flames shot towards them from the sky.

“Explosive meteor rain!”

This was a five star magic spell, because there were too many people, Ye Feng’s magical energy was not enough to give all of them a fireball each. He could only use such a wide area magic attack.

But he was not the only person who could use magic; wind blades, water currents, and fireballs shot towards him.

At the same time, the nearest Bronze Knight had already arrived before Ye Feng.

In any case, these people were not on the same side, seeing that a large number of spells targeted Ye Feng, the Bronze Knight quickly dodged to one side. These spells would not care about friendly fire.

“Fire shield!”

These spell attacks were formed through energy, the fire shield that was made of energy could naturally block them.

——For now.

At the moment while the spells were blocked, Ye Feng charged forward and stabbed towards the Bronze Knight who was anxiously blocking spells.

Due to various reasons, the Bronze Knight was unable to dodge the attack, he was killed on the spot.

But Ye Feng also paid a significant price.

His current spell’s duration had already ended, while the second barrage of spells were launched at him. At the same time, there were also many Knights left, but they had not attacked yet because of those spells.

“I can’t conceal it any further, I need to use my full strength and escape from here.”

Ye Feng’s expression turned firm as he used another spell.

“Earth spike formation!”

“Earth prison!”

In order to cast the earth spike formation spell that affected this huge area, the magical energy expended was not small. Just these spells used up more than half of his magical energy.

The earth prison was not secure, not against those spells at least. It was broken through after some attacks, immediately, several Knights who forced their way through the earth spikes appeared before Ye Feng.

“Void Slash!”

Ye Feng swung the Wind Spirit Demon Sword in his hand as he instantly killed one person who was caught off guard.

“Earth trap!”

“Earth wall!”

While nearly running out of magical energy, Ye Feng unleashed two more wide ranged spells.

One was meant to obstruct them while the other blocked their vision.

But Ye Feng could only stop the people, in order to escape, he had no choice but to endure the brunt of several spells.

Undoubtedly, earth magic was very useful here. Because he did not need to recite incantations, Ye Feng’s combat strength was much higher than others.

As a result, Ye Feng was capable of easily killing higher level enemies.

“Weightless spirit!”

Ye Feng’s speed rose greatly after casting the spell, his reduced body weight also allowed him to not leave traces behind.

Using the time he gained, Ye Feng quickly vanished from their line of sight.

If he ran away directly, it would be hard for Ye Feng to escape from the mountain. Thankfully, Rasputin had found a cave earlier.

“Brother, you are back?” Rasputin went up to greet Ye Feng, he had obviously recovered significantly.

If a Knight was not too heavily injured, their injuries often healed fast. Together with the help of some medicine, the current Rasputin was merely exhausted and weak.

“Yeah, this is the thing on the mountain top.” Ye Feng placed the box before them as he used a fireball to illuminate the cave.

“How do we open it…” Rasputin picked up the box and turned it around to research the mechanics.

After the situation earlier, their relationship had already improved greatly.
