Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 2338 A Hidden Camp

Chapter 2338  A Hidden Camp

Isolating Arrays that could prevent them from sensing it were definitely not easy to set up, especially not out here where there were a lot of dangers. Doing something like that not only needed a lot of resources but also enough manpower so that the Formation master wouldn't be disturbed while setting it up. But there were other methods one could utilize, that could allow one to skip this.

"Here," Lin Mu said placing his hand on the cave's outer wall. ~SHUA~

His immortal sense pierced through the wall and went deep, until it finally came in contact with an almost imperceptible layer. Normally he wouldn't have even sensed this, but with the Spatial Perception pointing it out to him, he could sense it better.

Once he sensed the exact location, Lin Mu stabbed straight into it with Afternoon Pine.

~SHING~

A small burst of Sword Intent was released by the sword and spread into the walls.

~KACHA~

A cracking sound was heard, making them think that the wall was about to collapse. But instead, what cracked was the air behind them.

"What?" Min Ju looked at it and it felt like a gla.s.s wall was shattering. "Is this…"

~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~

The cracks continued to spread until they covered an area of two hundred meters. ~SHATTER~

It finally reached a point where the array couldn't take it and broke apart entirely. "There we go." Lin Mu said as the real location was revealed. "This is…" The group had never expected something like this to be hidden here.

An entire camp was now visible to them. It had been made from stone and rocks with parts of it having been directly carved from the hills. All this was clearly the work of people and had been done in recent months.

"Wait, I can't sense any remnants of a formation here, though?" Daoist Chu realized. "Shouldn't there be some even after you've broken the array?" He asked.

"There is," Lin Mu said. "In there," he pointed to the building in the very center.

It was the largest structure here and looked to be something made to oversee the area, as well as function as a watchtower of some kind.

"Let's see what's there then." Crown Prince Feng Shun took the lead.

They scanned the smaller buildings in the camp, which seemed to be individual quarters for people. They had beds inside, which was clearly intended for humans. Though other than that, there were no supplies left in the quarters.

"Those quarters are broken." Crown Princess Shang pointed out. "Yeah… it seems to have been run down." Daoist Chu agreed.

It didn't look to be damage that was inflicted by normal attacks, and it was as if something had bulldozed the buildings or slammed into it. There were several carters damaged like this, though most of them seemed to be on the periphery of the area.

But once they entered the large building in the center, they saw more signs.

"There were people staying here until quite recently," Elder Hu said, spotting some food supplies. "They seem to have left in a rush." Ziran said, seeing the condition. "As if they barely got a moment's notice before having to leave." For cultivators, storing things in their spatial storage was rather fast and easy, as such, it was rare for them to leave things behind. As such, for them to do that in a case like this meant that their hands had been forced and they had no other choice.

"Can you smell anything, Little Shrubby?" Lin Mu asked the beast that had shrank down so that he could fit inside.

~SNIFF ~SNIFF~

"There's some blood… and more of that pill scent." Little Shrubby revealed.

"Same pill scent… It was definitely the same people from the Offering hall." Lin Mu confirmed hearing that. "Where's the blood?" he asked.

Little Shrubby pointed to a bigger room that was located on the side.

Scanning it, Lin Mu quickly found where the blood scent was coming from. "Bandages?" Crown Prince Feng Shun observed. "Someone was being treated here." Crown Princess Shang said, seeing the bed and the bandages lying beside it. There was also a tray with an empty bowl on it kept on the bedside table, possibly intended for feeding the patient.

But this wasn't what had caught Lin Mu's interest, rather it was the tool that had created the Isolating array.

His eyes scanned the place before finding the tool.

"Here," Lin Mu pulled on a simple looking brick on the wall.

It looked una.s.suming and was easy to miss. To a normal person, it looked to be the same as all other bricks and even with immortal sense; it was impossible to tell what was different about it.

~SHUA~

But with Spatial Sense, it was easy for Lin Mu to tell the Qi contained within it.

As Lin Mu pulled it out, the brick seemingly shifted its shape, turning into a finger sized seal. It had the motif of a jumping fish on it and was made from a black stone.

"This is what had been hiding the entire camp." Lin Mu showed. "It's at least a High Grade Immortal tool."

"It's isolating capabilities are rather high… it's definitely not something one can easily find or make." Crown Prince Feng Shun furrowed his brows.

The group thought about all they had learned so far and soon came up with a theory.

"Considering how the camp has been set up, this was probably intended to be a long term accommodation. But they were forced to leave due to an attack of some kind." Lady Kang said after thinking.

"Since we didn't attack them, it's definitely the Chimeric Beasts behind it." Daoist Chu guessed. "The way the quarters were destroyed definitely shows their work… though the direction the quarters are mostly destroyed in seems to be from the west." Ziran noted.

"Why would they build a camp here though? Even with the Isolating tool, it won't be good enough to protect against the Chimeric beasts." Crown Princess Shang questioned, finding it all confusing.
