Chapter 302: Trapped (Part 2)
Chapter 302 Trapped Below
Mengyu reflected, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t recall how she had arrived in this valley.
Could it be that this valley has the fabled arrays?
"Xiao Tao, look around, is there any way out?"
Xiao Tao sensed the surroundings for a moment, then said, "Master, it seems like you’ve run into an array. However, this is not a Killing Array, it’s a trapping array."
"What should I do? How do I get out?"
Xiao Tao suddenly became excited: "Master, didn’t you feel that there’s Spiritual Energy within this array?"
Mengyu quickly tuned in to her surroundings and was astonished to find that there was indeed Spiritual Energy in the valley, and not just a small amount; there was even more than in her Taoyuan Space.
Of course, this excluded the Medicine Field next to the thatched house.
But since the Medicine Field had a time acceleration array, she couldn’t enter it to cultivate; otherwise, a small miscalculation could lead to her aging rapidly during her cultivation here.
"Master, this is an excellent place for cultivation. Why not cultivate the Wood Immortal Skill here in the valley? Perhaps, once you’ve absorbed all the Spiritual Energy in the valley, the array will disappear."
Mengyu thought for a moment; what Xiao Tao said made sense. Since she couldn’t leave, she might as well cultivate the Wood Immortal Skill here.
After all, she had food in her space, and if worse came to worst, she could rely on the Starvation Pills that she could buy with just a few Essence Points.
Thus, she simply found a cave, sat down cross-legged, and began to cycle the Wood Immortal Skill.
She didn’t know that the Wood Immortal Skill was extremely adept at plundering Spiritual Energy. The moment she started operating the Wood Immortal Skill, the surrounding Spiritual Energy swarmed towards her, and she absorbed it into her body like a torrential intake.
Gu Dongxing failed to catch up with Mengyu, as she had disappeared on the mountain; hence, he searched the mountain. After a while without success, he went to find a place with a phone to make a call, and under the guise of training, he rallied some subordinates to help in the search.
However, after scouring the surrounding mountains, he still couldn’t find Mengyu.
Thinking she might have returned to school, he went back to the county high school to look for her. Not finding her there, he proceeded to their study group’s location.
There, he bluntly asked Shen Qi, "Has Mengyu returned?"
Shen Qi was puzzled, "Didn’t she leave with you?"
Upon hearing this response, Gu Dongxing knew Mengyu hadn’t come back, so he turned to leave but was grabbed by Wu Jiangsheng, "Where did you take classmate Mengyu? Why are you back here looking for her?"
Gu Dongxing tried to break free but, in his urgency, was surprised to find himself unable to. He then realized that this young man had already reached Martial Artist Level One.
"You—"
He wanted to ask how he acquired the ancient martial arts inheritance, but there was no time for questions. So he used a bit of Inner Strength to wriggle his hand free.
As he walked out, he said, "Classmate Mengyu left in anger, I’m looking for her."
"I’ll go look too!" Wu Jiangsheng shouted. Upon hearing that Mengyu was missing, his face showed an anxious expression.
"I’ll go too!" said Shen Qi. Although he didn’t show his worry on his face, he was very anxious inside.
"I want to go too!" Zhang Shuiyu also said. She was adamant.
Just as Gu Dongxing was about to call their actions foolish, he suddenly realized that all three of them were Martial Artists. He found it strange; this study group must be learning more than just academia!
Since Shen Qi and the others were Martial Artists, Gu Dongxing did not object.
"Fine, let’s all go!"
Mengyu was unaware that Gu Dongxing and the others were causing an uproar due to her disappearance. She was sitting in a cave within the trapped valley, absorbing the Spiritual Energy and cultivating.
Her power was rising rapidly, breaking through from Gathering Essence First Layer to the second...
