Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Unexpected Bottom of the Mine

This had completely exceeded his comprehension; aside from the formation, Lu Chen simply couldn’t think of any other possibility that could trap him, not even the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique could discern it!

"What should I do, I don’t understand formations, and I haven’t encountered anyone either!"

Lu Chen took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He looked around, and now the only way out, apart from going down, was through those mine entrances!

"Could it be that I need to check the mines? But clearly, there is no Fire Spirit Power above this whole mine, so these mines must be fake!"

Mining in the mountains, and mines belong to the Metal Element.

With previous experiences, Lu Chen was quite certain that these mine tunnels were by no means that simple!

"Could it be that the exit is inside the mines? But each mine leads to a completely different place?"

Since there was no way to go, Lu Chen naturally thought of the last resort.

But the problem again was, there were too many mine tunnels.

He had marked several, and even more were unmarked!

After hesitating for a long while, Lu Chen decided to re-mark the tunnels, numbering the mine entrances so they would be easier to distinguish later on.

Looking around, Lu Chen first took note of the positions of the mine entrances on this side and, after marking them with numbers, he chose to enter one!

Upon entering the mine, Lu Chen felt a sudden darkness in front of his eyes!

Fortunately, he possessed the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, so his vision was unaffected.

He widened his eyes abruptly and looked towards the depths of the mine, only to find that everything in front of him was entirely filled with Fire Spirit Power!

"Huh? Is it just this mine that contains Fire Spirit Power, or are all the mines like this?"

Lu Chen grew suspicious and decided to exit the mine and then enter another one!

And this mine too was filled with Fire Spirit Power!

Lu Chen frowned slightly, observing two mines wasn’t adequate for confirmation.

Why not check all the mines? Perhaps he could make some discoveries and learn about this mountain mine’s formation!

Thinking this, Lu Chen walked towards the third mine!

But this time, the Spiritual Power inside the mine was different.

Wood Spirit Power!

"How strange..."

Lu Chen made a mental note and then headed towards the fourth mine.

"Earth Spirit Power!"

The fifth mine, "Water Spirit Power!"

"Among the Five Elements, the only one missing is Metal Spirit Power! Just like when I observed the Spiritual Energy in the air at the foot of the mountain!"

Lu Chen furrowed his brows tightly, was there a connection here?

Perhaps this was the key to breaking through the mountain’s formation!

"Let’s check the other mines!"

Just based on the situations in five mines, Lu Chen felt like he was generalizing prematurely.

But after he had checked all the mines near this mountain path, he had an epiphany!

He had found a pattern.

If five mines were grouped together, the sequence of Spiritual Power within them would certainly be fire, fire, wood, earth, water!

"The mountain has no Metal Spirit Power, could it mean that this is not really a mine mountain at all, but an Illusion Array?"

Lu Chen’s furrowed brows gradually smoothed out.

A flicker of enlightenment had begun to form in his mind!

If it was an Illusion Array, naturally he could not exit through the paths within the array.

According to the order of the Five Elements, it should be fire, metal, wood, earth, water!

Therefore, within the second rotation of mines, he should certainly find some clues!

"Even, if I release Metal Spirit Power in the mines, I might be able to walk out of this mountain’s formation!"

With a bit of an idea, Lu Chen didn’t know if it was feasible.

But without trying, there would definitely be no chance of survival!

Lu Chen took a deep breath, his hand tightly gripping the spear as he stepped into one of the mines!

This time, he didn’t linger at the entrance of the mine, but strode confidently towards its depths!

The further he went inside, the denser the Fire Spirit Power in the mine became.

But after experiencing the fiery marsh, the degree of this Spiritual Energy could not affect Lu Chen at all, let alone the fact that he was enveloped in Fire Spirit Power!

This journey lasted several hours.

Lu Chen also kept his wits about him, afraid it might turn into a situation like walking on a mountain path.

Every hundred steps, he would make a mark.

Finally, he reached the end.

It was a smooth, round space, filled entirely with Metal Spirit Power!

Lu Chen’s brow tightened, Metal Spirit Power?

This scene was beyond his expectations; the prepared method to break the formation was now redundant!

"What should I do now?"

While he was beset with worries, the Metal Spirit Power suddenly started to move restlessly, converging towards the center of the cave.

In the blink of an eye, it formed a huge miner’s pickaxe and came crashing down on Lu Chen’s head!

"Not good!"

Lu Chen was also taken aback, how could these Spirit Powers actively attack him?

Without time for further thought, Lu Chen raised his Heavenly Inquiry Spear in front of him to defend!

"Strength that Pulls Rivers and Mountains!"
