Chapter 70: Extreme Yin Gathering Spirit Formation

  Just as Frodo and Sam were approaching the fourth Black Gate of Mordor, Faramir was in the third underground cave, surveying the bodies of the cave people and the dead Gondorian soldiers.

  The number of corpses of the cave people was about two hundred, while less than twenty corpses were left by the private soldiers of Lord Frodo who were killed, which obviously means that Lord Frodo's private soldiers had stronger combat effectiveness.

  Luo Wei examined the corpses of both sides and found that the cave people basically had no armor, their weapons were very simple, most of which were stone products, but the skin of the cave people was quite hard and could even withstand the strong penetrating power of crossbow arrows.

  The cave people had no eyes, but judging from the positions of the large number of dead cave people, the cave people were able to accurately determine the position of their enemies and had enough intelligence to use the terrain for cover to approach Lord Frodo and his private soldiers who invaded their home.

  As for the private soldiers of Lord Frodo who were killed, it can only be said that they were really unlucky. The causes of their deaths are varied and strange, including being shot in the back by an arrow, and it is unknown whether it was due to insufficient torches causing the archer to miss or if the archer was intentionally shooting black arrows.

  For safety's sake, Rove didn't light any torches but instead held a piece of fluorescent stone that Guron had found. To be honest, the fluorescent stone which emitted a green glow made Rove always have a worry that "this thing isn't glowing because it's radioactive or something?"

  In fact, the night pearls that the ancients were so fond of, many of which are actually stone balls containing radioactive substances. The more people collect night pearls, the higher the probability of contracting and dying from a terrible disease, as well as their family members... This case was one that Luo Wei had come across while studying at medical university and had left a deep impression on him.

  Originally, Luo Wei would rather die than touch the fluorescent stone that Ge Luoxian had brought back, but thinking about it again, he remembered that his lifespan was only left with two months anyway. At that time, whether or not he came into contact with radioactive materials and mutated into a zombie, so now even if he played with a lump of high-purity uranium ore, it didn't matter at all!

  In the blink of an eye, Luo Wei became a brave warrior who could face the bleak life and blood-soaked bodies. His fearless hands held the fluorescent stone to examine one corpse after another, almost completely immersing himself in the world of forensic medicine once again.

  Ah, these eyeless cave men are truly a wonderful species.

  Although they are all as big as super-large potatoes, they have well-developed masticatory muscles and jawbones. The number of muscle groups in the arms and legs from those wounds also proves that they should have quite good explosive power. In addition to their hardened skin, which is not much different from that of the Copper-skinned Ghoul Tyrant, and their intelligence, which knows how to use terrain and manufacture stone weapons... Give them 80,000 years, and who knows, they might develop into a ruling species in the underground world!

  "Rover, come here quickly! There's a big one over here!"

  Just as Rovi was getting more and more excited about his research, Glorene's voice came from a small cave connected to the third large cave.

  How's everyone?

  What's up everybody?

  With a questioning mind, Luo Wei followed the sound and walked over, then... he really saw a big guy, a super-large cave man with a height of over three meters.

  "What is this Grolsch? What do you mountain people call it?"

  Rovio asked, "The memory of magician Salo has not been triggered."

  "Of course it's a cave giant! Don't you Gadtonians call them that?"

  Gloria asked strangely.

  Cave giant?

  Hmmm... I suppose it's true, this stupid, big, black, coarse potato head is indeed worthy of being called a cave giant.

  With this idea in mind, Luo Wei once again began to examine the cause of death of the cave giant.

  However, Luo Wei first examined not the corpse of the cave giant itself, but the chaotic environment around it that had been beaten up. He easily discovered three eggs that had been smashed into meat paste, several severed arms and a large pool of dried blood.

  The poor eggs that were smashed into meat sauce, from the posture of death, it was a rock pillar next to the cave giant that killed them so miserably - that thing covered in blood and broken bones was a bit longer and thicker than Loli, but for the already fallen cave giant, it was a very handy big stick weapon.

  It's just that the cave giant, despite its massive size and bravery, although it could easily crush those metal-clad private soldiers of Lord Frodo into minced meat, the deep wounds crisscrossing its body and the four sharp stone pillars piercing through its body silently proved that the enemy the cave giant faced was one that could brutally slaughter it in a crushing manner.

  "An extremely tacit killing method, absolutely not the first time cooperating to hunt monsters and level up..."

  After carefully examining those wounds, Luo Wei came to a somewhat worrisome conclusion - the more harmonious the enemy's coordination was, the worse things would be.

  However, with the faint fluorescence emitted by the fluorescent stone continuing to search, Luo Wei soon made an even more significant discovery. He found a damaged rock altar not far from the dead giant's body in the cave, and the residual magic aura on the altar as well as the deeply engraved complex lines all indicated that this rock altar was originally a magic array.

  "Glaurung, help me with this fluorescent stone."

  After letting Glosoni help him with this, Lovi took out a poor-quality paper and a small piece of charcoal he had made himself from the small bag he was carrying.

  Then, under Glorene's astonished gaze, she was moved slowly according to Rovi's request on the destroyed rock altar, moving as a light source and illuminating an area of about two square meters of the rock altar.

  Gloriana walked on the ruined stone altar twice, and after Gloriana completed her second required movement, Rovi successfully drew a rough outline of the massive magic circle that originally existed on the stone altar using his homemade charcoal pen and poor-quality draft paper.

  No need for Gloxinia to make a third trip, nor did Lovie have to complete the massive magic circle on the rock altar, as Lovie's intermittent memory of Salo had been triggered.

  "It is...the Thirteenfold Hexagonal Soul-Summoning Magic Formation."

  "Damn it! These bastards actually destroyed the Thirteen-layered Extreme Yin Gathering Spirit Magic Array! Damn it! Didn't anyone tell those idiots that if more than four layers of the Thirteen-layered Extreme Yin Gathering Spirit Magic Array are destroyed, the entire magic puzzle lock will be completely sealed off? And even if all the remaining magic arrays are destroyed, no one except for killing all the vengeful spirits inside the magic puzzle lock can get out alive?!"

  Rovin burst out in a loud tirade, and before Glorene could figure out what the hell was going on, he grabbed her hand and took off running back the way they came.

  "Run! Run, Glorenza! We have to get out of here before those idiots destroy the fourth Dark Spirit Array!"
