Chapter 340: Playing Lots!
Before they entered, Krune found where that Core Formation Realm demon beast was and threw him a pill. That was the Shell Repairing Pill that Dilo used to heal his Dantian in the past. Krune then told him with a Divine Sense.
"This pill of mine is quite overbearing. So make sure to have a lot of spirit stones available once you swallow it."
Fortunately for that Demon Beast, he still had a few spirit stones from the rewards in that Mountain Bubble Realm. Although they were just leftovers from the battles for the resources, it was still a lot for a Core Formation Realm like him.
The Demon Beast immediately took them out and sat on the ground. Right after, he swallowed the pill. He was afraid that if he kept this pill for later, he might get robbed. After all, he doesn't have any chance of defending against the majority here. At least, if he uses the pill right after Darten gave it to him, the others will probably show some respect to Darten and refrain from doing anything.
Krune looked at that and smiled.
He knew his pill very well. Considering the low level of cultivation of Demon Beast, he would probably finish repairing his Demon Core in just a few minutes.
No one paid much attention to that demon beast. They just kept discussing with their own groups about what they would do.
Krune did the same with his group and decided to step inside. The others also didn't have much choice and followed right behind.
When they entered, there was only one way ahead. Just like the previous Mountain, everyone's Divine Sense got even more restricted. On the way, Krune and the others noticed a few images on the walls. It was evident that they depicted some kind of story, but no one other than Krune and Ruik paid much attention to it.
At some point, they finally got to see what were the dangers inside. Traps, Slaughtering and Illusion Formations, and lastly, high-level Puppets. But while the others were having some issues dealing with that, Heavin was furtively collecting the pieces of the broken puppets that fell on the ground. For him, those materials were still of high value, even if they are broken. At the very least, he can study them later.
Krune and Ruik had been paying attention to those images on the walls very closely. They still think that this Mohie Zarks has something to do with the same one in the Luvile Universe.
"From the looks of it, there had been some kind of battle. It seems like Mohie Zarks had to leave this inheritance behind in a hurry before leaving this place."
Ruik then asked.
"If he was being pursued, then why would he even finish this place?"
Krune shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Who knows? Perhaps he wanted the others to know the truth in the future. But it has been too long, so I can't tell who was pursuing him or what they wanted."
Ruik nodded.
"If that is that case, there should be even more of these pictures in other Bubble Realms. If we meet with the other groups later, perhaps we can ask them what they found there."
Krune nodded and returned his attention to the passage ahead.
"More puppets, be careful."
Krune and the others kept making their way forward. Finally, they arrived in a room with several Teleport Formations. It was obvious that they would need to select one of them if they wished to continue forward.
Everyone then looked at Krune's group. So far, they had basically followed him, so they would probably keep doing the same now. Krune, of course, felt that to be quite problematic.
However, there are always exceptions to the rules. A small group with five members stepped forward and immediately used one of the Teleport Formations. No one tried to stop them since there really were many Teleport Formations available but no information. There was no guarantee that they picked a good or a bad one either, so there was no point in intervening.
But soon, they noticed that the teleport formation that that group chose broke apart.
"Did they break the formation on the other side?"
Another group also selected a random formation and activated it. Just like the previous group, their teleport formation broke right after the teleport was completed.
"I doubt that they both broke the teleport formation on the other side, though."
Krune then looked at everyone and said.
"Alright, we are going ahead. You guys just select any of those that you feel lucky with."
Even though the others wanted to follow him, Krune had no need to wait for them. In fact, his group wanted to go on their own way since a long time ago. These Teleport Formations might be just the chance that he and his group waited for. Before anyone could say anything, Krune and the others already stepped on one of the Formations. The teleport formation then activated and was just about to teleport his group.
Unfortunately, some of the other guys tried to follow Krune's group anyway. But there was a problem. The Teleport Formation that Krune's group selected had just so much space. In the end, the teleport formation stopped working and didn't teleport anyone.
Krune and his group were taken aback by that. Even if a few ended following his group through the teleport, as long as the majority couldn't, that was already good enough. But it just had to stop as soon as it was about to send them away.
"What is happening?"
Feifei sighed and then said.
"Overload. The Teleport Formation cant teleport too many at the same time. These Teleport Formations are quite simple as far as I can see, so we won't go anywhere if so many try to follow us."
Krune narrowed his eyes and looked at those guys who tried to follow him again.
"How long are you staying there? Can't you see that it is not possible to teleport all at once?"
One of the guys then said with a stone face.
"That's not it. You are the only one who has the Jade Slip from Mohie Zarks. So it is obvious that we want to go with you since there is a big chance that we will need the jade Slip in the future. Who would try to follow if not because of that?"
Ruik couldn't help but exclaim.
"Then what? If you keep trying to use the same teleport formation, we won't go anywhere. It can't teleport too many at the same time. And don't come at me saying that as long as Darten leaves his Jade Slip behind, you won't follow him. That is because the same problem would happen again, even if he isn't the one with it."
That was true. Whoever held the Jade Slip would have the majority following. So, at this moment, it mattered little if it was Krune who had it or not.
"Should we decide it by luck? From what I can see, these formations should be able to support around 30 cultivators and demon beasts. Darten's group only has 15 members, which leaves another 15 more or less."
The others didn't know what to say until someone finally asked.
"How do we decide it? No one here wants to fight to decide it since this Realm is probably far from over. To get severely injured here will be idiotic."
The guy then shrugged his shoulder and said.
"What else? Let's just play lots."
Some mouths twitched after hearing that, but they really didn't have much choice. Still, there was one rule. Only those who had strong team members could participate in it. After all, those with high cultivation and combat power wouldn't accept being left behind by some weaklings.
Krune and his group looked at that with weird faces. There is a bunch of cultivators and demon beasts playing lots in the middle of a deadly Dimensional Realm. Where has anyone ever seen something like that?
Krune couldn't help but think.
'I wonder how Mohie Zarks' face would look like if he saw this. He probably was expecting a fierce battle for the Jade Slip, no doubt.'
In fact, that would have been the outcome... if Krune hadn't shown his real power. There is also the fact that it was because of him that a lot of them didn't die during that battle against the Dragon. Although the other groups were confident in taking his Jade Slip with their numbers advantage, the price to pay would be too high as well. Besides, once one group took it away from him, they would immediately become the target.
This was simply... the most reasonable way they could think of at the moment... probably.
In the end, the 15 were quickly decided, and they stepped on the Teleport Formation with Krune and his group. In fact, they also had another mission, prevent the Teleport Formation on the other side to be broken on purpose. They still didn't know if the previous two groups had done that on purpose or if the formations were built to be like that.
Krune didn't care about any of that, so his group just stepped on the teleport formation with the others. The Formation activated, and with a flash of silver light, they all disappeared. Of course, this Formation was chosen by none other than Rarol!
