Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
His spiritual power was constantly being absorbed, and his pet beasts could not be summoned. Lin Bai could be said to be isolated and helpless and could only rely on himself now. However, fortunately, he was different from ordinary people and there was also a power transmission system in his body.
Otherwise, if it were other people were being sucked like this, they would have already become dried humans by now.
Even so, even if Lin Bai had a massive amount of spiritual power in his body, it would not be able to withstand such consumption. At this moment, his expression was extremely unsightly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. If he did not quickly think of a way out, it was only a matter of time
before his spiritual power was exhausted.
Lin Bai tried to summon the Ruoshui sword, but it was useless. There was no reaction at all. Because of the pain, his entire facial features became slightly distorted, and even his veins were popping out.
It was as if his meridians were being burned by something fierce, so much so that all the water in his body had evaporated. Lin Bai’s face was red, and his whole body was like a cooked prawn. He even suspected that smoke would come out of his head in the next second.
Lin Bai couldn’t describe what he was feeling at the moment. He was drenched in sweat, as if he had been scooped out of the water. Such a high temperature could melt his entire body, but it was only aimed at him.
On the other hand, Fool Li, who was standing next to him, had a calm expression as if nothing had happened.
The altars had absorbed Lin Bai’s spiritual power, emitting a red, orange, yellow, and green mottled light. It was so hot that his breath seemed to be mixed with flames.
It gave people the feeling that he was inside a cauldron. Below him was a raging fire. It was stuffy and hot, as if it was about to turn into a thick medicinal liquid.
Cauldron!
An idea flashed through Lin Bai’s mind. With the mentality of giving it a try, he summoned the small broken furnace. It was strange. There was no reaction from the pet beasts or the Ruoshui sword before, as if it had been sealed.
However, at this moment, with just a little spirit sense, the small broken furnace could not wait to appear in the air, as if it had been preparing for this.
The floating small black furnace jumped up and down in the air, looking very lively.
Lin Bai remembered that he had found it on a stall. At first glance, it looked ordinary, old and shabby. He could not be bothered to give it a name, so he simply called it the small broken furnace.
However, unexpectedly, although this furnace was dark, it was exceptionally useful when used. It could even help Lin Bai refine high-level medicinal pills. Lin Bai gradually stopped looking down on it.
After that, he realized that the cauldron was extremely mysterious. It was not as simple as he had imagined it to be.
Unfortunately, he could not figure out its origin, so he did not pursue the matter further.
“Gol”
‘Without even needing Lin Bai’s instructions, the small broken furnace began to operate on its own. However, it did not come to the altar as Lin Bai had expected. Instead, it flew around in a circle, as if it was looking for something.
“Strange, why doesn’t it seem to listen to me?”
Lin Bai frowned and formed a spell with his hand. Just as he was about to mobilize the black cauldron to save him, a violent tremor came from the body of the cauldron and it emitted a buzzing sound.
The commotion here attracted the attention of Fool Li. He stared straight at the small cauldron as if he was looking at a family member that he had not seen for a long time. His eyes were even filled with tears of excitement.
He seemed to want to reach out and touch the small cauldron. However, he was worried about something and withdrew his hand again. Unfortunately, Lin Bai’s attention was all on the cauldron and he did not notice fool Li’s expression.
“Hurry up and come over.”
Even if Lin Bai used the cauldron control technique, there was no reaction. He had clearly signed a contract with the small cauldron, but it was as if he had been forced to terminate. It didn’t listen to his orders at all.
The glimmer of hope that had finally risen was once again destroyed. Lin Bai frowned and said, “Could it be that the magnetic field here has affected it?”
Just as he was feeling bewildered, the small broken cauldron stopped in front of an altar.
Perhaps it was because it had absorbed Lin Bai’s spiritual energy, the altar that originally looked ordinary and did not have any awe-inspiring aura was now surrounded by a mysterious aura, as if something had been activated.
The grooves where the embedding had been dug up had a faint luster. Other than missing the things that were embedded on them, they looked no different from a complete altar.
The altars were flowing with light and vibrant colors, like the twinkling stars in the sky. They looked dazzling and beautiful, but Lin Bai had no time to admire them.
The small broken furnace did react to Lin Bai’s summoning, and it even made things a little more chaotic. Lin Bai began to regret summoning it. He did not know if it was his misconception, but with the appearance of the small broken furnace, the altars and arrays were absorbing spiritual energy faster
and faster.
Lin Bai wanted to take it back, but he was already powerless. Moreover, it did not listen to his commands.
The small broken furnace spun faster and faster in the air. A stream of light pierced through the cauldron and the altar, as if there was an inexplicable power that connected the two together.
Lin Bai wanted to investigate the situation, but he could not even protect himself now. He did not have any extra spiritual energy. The small broken furnace stopped for a while and then flew to the next altar.
The altar, which was originally full of lights and divine light, had now become dim, as if something had absorbed its essence, energy, and spirit.
Lin Bai couldn’t help but suspect that this was the work of the small broken furnace. The small broken furnaces did the same thing to the next few altars. However, after absorbing so much of the altar’s essence energy, there was still no change in its appearance. Then, he came to the front of the array and
slowly entered inside.
He looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment. Only then did he realize that there was a blank space in the center of the array. From the marks around it, it was just enough to fit the little broken furnace.
Could it be that there was some connection between them?
