Chapter 773: Chapter 356: Armor Can Also Be a Living Creature_3

In that place, Luo De must dispatch heavy troops to garrison.

Of course, these legions have to be redeployed from other legions, as Frost Leaf Town currently does not have spare manpower.

...

...

Luo De only stayed at the Demon Crystal Mine for one day.

The next day, Luo De and Avril flew to the Blade Mountain Range.

After inspecting the Blade Mountain Stronghold and the Sea Pattern Demon Iron Mine, Luo De headed straight for his destination, the Sea Abyss Wizard Tower.

The Sea Abyss Wizard Tower is essentially Luo De’s warehouse now, storing precious items that are not needed for the time being.

Although he hadn’t been here for a long time, Luo De didn’t wander around and went straight to the corridor at the end of the hall.

Luo De held the magic wand in his hand and stared at the door ahead.

Just as he was about to move forward, Avril grabbed him suddenly,

"Be careful, dear."

"Don’t worry, I’m not going to throw my life away."

Luo De smiled, patting the back of Avril’s hand to reassure her, and then stepped onto the corridor.

Everyone, like Mussen before, walked down the steps for more than twenty meters, standing in front of the dark purple stone door.

A little further ahead, the egg-sized purple gemstone on the stone door began to shimmer.

Suddenly, Luo De felt a sharp momentum rushing towards his face, piercing his head like sharp spikes.

However, it didn’t feel too bad.

Apart from some stabbing pain, Luo De didn’t feel any other strangeness and could completely withstand it.

Luo De felt that even if he took two more steps forward, there shouldn’t be any major problems.

But Luo De wasn’t careless and stood in place, focusing his spiritual power into the magic wand in his hand.

The magic wand began to emit a slight humming sound, and the gemstone on it flickered.

Soon after, Luo De felt his consciousness detach, swiftly spreading beyond the magic wand itself.

At this moment, the purple light on the stone door flickered, instantly forming a barrier blocking Luo De.

To be precise, it wasn’t just a barrier but a whole mass.

Because Luo De’s spirit touch easily broke through the barrier, but soon it was like falling into a large swamp, making every step difficult.

Soon after, Luo De felt something around him grabbing his spirit touch with claws, holding it firmly in place.

With every advancement, Luo De needed to consume a large amount of spiritual power.

Before Luo De could adjust, countless spikes suddenly burst forth from the purple light, stabbing fiercely into Luo De’s spiritual touch.

"Hiss!"

Luo De shivered suddenly, as if experiencing an electric shock.

And Luo De’s control was interrupted, with the spiritual touch disappearing instantly.

"Looks like this defensive prohibition isn’t simple."

Luo De now understood that whether it’s a physical body or a spiritual touch, as long as it enters this range, it will be attacked, and the methods of attack differ.

Luo De watched the stone door, not launching a second attack immediately.

After thinking for a long time, Luo De closed his eyes again.

This time, when the spirit touch made contact with the purple barrier, Luo De tried to split it into two branches, stabbing different positions of the stone door.

The purple light surged instantly.

But this time, the energy obstructing Luo De was noticeably weaker.

With Luo De’s current spiritual power, controlling three spirit touches at once was no problem.

However, the remaining two are decoys that Luo De doesn’t need to actively control.

The other avatars stopped after entering the barrier, with Luo De controlling only the primary one.

But the resistance encountered was only a third of the previous level.

Luo De felt a sensation and withdrew his attention, dispersing the touches.

It was just a probing to verify his hypothesis.

Since the prohibition automatically allocates defensive energy based on the number of invading touches, naturally, the more touches there are, the less resistance a single touch faces.

Luo De rested for a while before concentrating his attention again to gather his spirit touch.

Before touching the barrier, Luo De gritted his teeth and scattered the spirit touch.

Over a dozen spirit touches spread out in the air, truly intertwining on the purple barrier like octopus tentacles.

Naturally, Luo De didn’t have the ability to control dozens of touches at once, so after entering the purple barrier, he directly gave up, focusing on rapidly advancing a single touch.

The barrier of the stone door seemed to sense something, exerting more pressure on Luo De.

Seeing that the barrier was about to be breached, Luo De instantly dispersed the other touches, concentrating all his spirit fiercely forward!

"Pop!"

In an instant, it seemed as if a thin membrane had been pierced, with the purple light vibrating violently, transforming into an airwave that dispersed outwards!

Luo De immediately felt a sharp pain on both sides of his head and couldn’t stop himself from falling back!

Fortunately, it was just a moment; Luo De steadied his posture.

"Phew..."

Luo De let out a long breath and looked at the stone door ahead. The light had faded, and the egg-sized purple gemstone had dimmed.

Luo De rested for a while, grabbed the magic wand again to gather spirit touch, and cautiously explored forward.

This time there was no obstruction.

Luo De turned his head and instructed Doron: "Doron, take the men and see if you can push open the stone door."

"Yes, sir!"

Doron responded immediately and waved to the soldiers behind him.

Groups of three stood on either side of the stone door,

"Ready... push!"

At Doron’s command, six people exerted force simultaneously.

"Creak..."

The heavy sound of friction echoed as the stone door slowly opened.

In an instant, a buzzing sound resounded, and dozens of lights lit up in succession, revealing the spacious hall to Luo De’s eyes.

"I didn’t expect these magic lamps to still light up after so long."

Luo De was quite surprised, curiously examining everything before him,

This is a very spacious circular hall with a dome approximately five meters high, and the diameter of the entire hall exceeds fifty meters.

The floor is paved with white marble, carved with delicate and gorgeous patterns.

Luo De didn’t go directly inside, instead gathering spirit touch again to explore the hall.

Finding no prohibitions, he opened his eyes.

"Everyone be careful, don’t touch anything."

Luo De warned: "The fact that the magic lamps are still on means there’s still magic power maintaining their operation."

Even though there’s no prohibition, it doesn’t mean there aren’t any dangerous things.

"Yes, sir."

Doron and the soldiers replied in unison, cautiously entering the hall.

Luo De, Avril, and the others followed, curiously observing everything around them.

The most striking thing in the hall was the seven stone pillars standing at the front.

The stone pillars were covered in complex rune patterns and inlaid with dozens of crystal stones.

However, the light from those crystals had already dimmed.

In the center was a platform with a diameter of about five or six meters, with some dimly lit crystal stones inlaid around its edge.

"I feel like I’ve seen this array somewhere before..."

Luo De looked at Avril beside him and asked, "Is this perhaps, a transmission array?"
