Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1095 - 394: Ji Yuan and Nightmare True Monarch Join Forces

Seeing his cautious demeanor also made Ji Yuan take it seriously.

A whole day passed like this, and the voice of Nightmare True Monarch suddenly rang in his sea of consciousness.

"It’s almost time, put on the Spirit Devouring Armor and go in."

Ji Yuan didn’t say anything, just silently stood up.

The Spirit-Devouring Bees flew out from the Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, landing one by one on him, eventually transforming into a suit of tight-fitting black armor.

"Tsk, what a Miracle Treasure and ancient insect control technique, your luck really isn’t small, kid."

Nightmare True Monarch still had time to sigh and said.

About this ancient insect control technique, Ji Yuan specially asked Mu Xueyao, mainly because he could transform the Spirit-Devouring Bees into Spirit Devouring Armor... The current insect control techniques no longer have this ability.

It’s said that only some ancient cultivation techniques have this ability, but this is just a legend.

A legend called "Insect Control and Transformation Artifact."

The legend says that any miraculous insect that can make it to the Miracle Insect List represents a kind of artifact, but what exactly it is remains unknown.

Until Ji Yuan’s wearing of the Spirit Devouring Armor was recognized by others.

He also ignored Nightmare True Monarch’s remarks, transformed into escape light, came to the outside of the array, and chose to walk in.

The array is invisible, and if Ji Yuan hadn’t watched Nightmare True Monarch set it up here with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have known he had stepped into the array.

After he was in the array for an hour and confirmed that there were no problems, he pulled the cork from the bottle in his hand.

Ji Yuan originally thought that the scent emanating from the bottle would be like the fragrance of a lotus.

But who would have guessed, after removing the cork, it emitted a scent like roast meat.

... This lotus seed, damn it really eats people, huh?!

For a moment, Ji Yuan became even more alert, even straightening his back unconsciously.

The only sound around was the howling wind and the yellow sand striking the Spirit Devouring Armor, creating a "hiss hiss" sound, Ji Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, not moving, letting the yellow sand bury him.

With divine sense alert to the surroundings, he didn’t see anything.

A full two days passed, and to prevent himself from being buried, Ji Yuan noiselessly elevated his position three times.

Finally, on the third day, he sensed a hint of disturbance.

Not that his divine sense discovered it, but his ears heard a different sound.

It was like the rustling sound a mouse makes, as if a mouse was digging a tunnel in the sand, rapidly approaching him.

It’s coming!

The divine sense couldn’t detect it, but the ears could hear it.

No need to say more, it must be that lotus seed coming... No idea what a man-eating lotus seed looks like.

Ji Yuan, though inwardly tense, outwardly remained calm, as if he hadn’t felt anything.

The sound kept continuously ringing, and becoming more pronounced, indicating the lotus seed was swiftly approaching from underground... Ji Yuan was already prepared to dodge.

Thus tensely passing two breath times, Ji Yuan’s left ear twitched slightly.

"Rustle—"

"Whoosh—"

At first it was like something pushing through the sand, emerging from the ground, then the thing darted straight at Ji Yuan, extraordinarily fast.

Ji Yuan felt that this short-distance burst speed was equal to his mid-stage Muscle Forging Realm self.

Such short-range explosive speed, typical late-stage Core Formation cultivators might not have time to react, right?

Damn!

This old scoundrel indeed wants to kill me!

It’s fast, Ji Yuan is faster!

As soon as it was about to bite Ji Yuan’s head, swallowing his entire head in one bite, his figure vanished into thin air from the spot.

"Crunch—"

A sharp, piercing biting sound rang out where Ji Yuan had just been, he clearly saw the thing, yet divine sense still couldn’t see it.

This thing... really is an earth-yellow oversized rat, its body length appeared only the length of a human arm, yet the mouth was huge, capable of biting off a human head in one go, and the enormous open mouth was filled with saw-like fangs.

... No wait, Nightmare old scoundrel, you damn tell me, this is a lotus seed?!

The thought just emerged in Ji Yuan’s mind, but he couldn’t speak, this oversized rat already lunged at him again.

An earth-yellow thread flashed by mid-air, Ji Yuan also fled.

But this time he was prepared, his divine sense spread out searching for Nightmare True Monarch, angrily yelling in his sea of consciousness: "It’s here!!"

Whether Nightmare True Monarch truly hadn’t noticed or pretended not to, Ji Yuan didn’t know.

Only after receiving Ji Yuan’s message did he belatedly respond: "What?!"

But since Ji Yuan had already sent a message, he couldn’t hide, his figure shot out from underground, with one step, like a rainbow crossing the sun, instantly appearing above the array from afar.

When he saw Ji Yuan being chased repeatedly by the oversized rat, yet each time managing to evade, a fleeting sense of admiration and surprise passed through his eyes.

"My friend truly has great skill."

At the moment Nightmare True Monarch used mana and arrived, the oversized rat seemed to sense something, immediately retreating into the ground without hesitation.

Nightmare True Monarch casually took out the array plate.

"Since you came, don’t think to leave."

In a moment, a soil-yellow light curtain suddenly appeared over the vast sand dunes, as the light halo circulated, the entire sandy ground bore markings of array patterns emerging.

... A Tier Four Array, which could be used as a Sect Protection Array for an ordinary sect.

Although the Tier Four Array Nightmare True Monarch set up is simple, under his activation, Ji Yuan also felt a trace of the majesty of a Tier Four Grand Array.
