Chapter 132 - 131 Arrangement
It turns out that the Two Lius actually had a Divinity Transformation level magic treasure hidden as their trump card, and it sounds like it might even be an entry-level artifact with its own Artifact Spirit ancestor...
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Heng Mountain is one of the nine major sects, and these two are proper disciples of a cultivation family. When they go out for training, it’s pretty normal for their elders to give them a magic treasure for protection.
No wonder they dared to venture out to exterminate demons from the start. After all, with a magic treasure to back them up, they really weren’t afraid at all.
It’s understandable for the Two Lius to keep their treasures hidden, but their hiding truly tricked Tie Dan, causing a miscalculation on his part.
If he had known before that in this team setup he also had a Divinity Transformation hidden on his side, he would have known that the power balance would be forcibly leveled before the engagement could begin, and he wouldn’t have left with such minimal preparation.
Now it’s a bit troublesome. They’re currently facing eight Great Demons. Even though the outcome seems uncertain on paper, the average combat power difference is too great. Even if they bring out, whatever damaged Divinity Transformation treasure they have, it’s likely they’d find it hard to gain an advantage in actual combat. Especially those teammates not even at the Golden Core Realm, they are likely to have a fatal outcome.
Tie Dan remained silent, quietly observing the demon qi and physique of each Great Demon, studying the terrain and mountain formations. Rapidly strategizing in his mind.
What the roe owl said also caught his attention. It seems the mountains’ structure here holds some peculiarities. The magnetic stone deposits within the mountain, laden with iron and gold, are of such high density. Along with the fluctuating deep ravines, they completely block external Divine Sense detection.
It’s no wonder Zhen Baiyu couldn’t detect these ambushed monsters, and conversely, even those Great Demons hadn’t noticed, and Tie Dan had already snuck close below their ground.
Besides the interference caused by the Earth Element Magnet on the Divine Sense, the narrow ravine and deep canyon naturally render cavalry useless. The canyon’s breadth is just sufficient for a single large creature to pass, leaving no room for maneuvering or retreat.
