The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 3049 The Stone Sphere Cracked

Within the fourth-order divine formation.

The battles between the Wallbreakers were incredibly intense.

Various treasures appeared one after another, and the barrier breakers were completely led by the nose.

period.

News of the fall of Wallbreakers began to arrive.

At first, people didn't pay much attention to this matter. After all, with hundreds of Wall Breakers fighting against others here, casualties were inevitable.

Moreover.

The Breakers cannot open their own Great World here, which results in a much higher chance of them being killed here than outside.

But as the battle continued, the number of Wallbreakers dying began to increase.

Soon, some people realized something was wrong.

It seems that a force is hunting down ancient beings, killing them and then seizing their original Dao patterns.

however.

Even if someone discovers this, no one organizes an investigation, because everyone's attention is focused on the Fountain of Youth and the peerless elixir.

In order to survive, the ancient beings fought desperately for the Fountain of Youth.

Having tasted the sweetness, they became exceptionally greedy.

Some ancient artifacts have lived for thousands of years, yet they are still frantically vying for the Fountain of Youth and fighting each other relentlessly.

Zheng Tuo recovered from his injuries and returned to peak condition.

He got up and resumed his cultivation journey.

He can now clearly feel that his strength is steadily improving. As long as he continues along this path, he will surely be able to reach the level of a Breaker.

however.

As his cultivation continued, his secret was soon discovered.

"Lord of the Immortal-Slaying City, may I speak with you in private?"

An old-fashioned man stopped Zheng Tuo with a smile, trying to have a chat with him.

"Is something wrong?"

Zheng Tuo looked at the man in red in front of him.

He remembered the man in red.
At first.

This old man in red was the first ancient being to emerge from the fourth-order divine array.

Because he drank some of the Fountain of Youth, he began to become younger and his lifespan increased considerably.

now.

He actually found himself.

"Lord of the Immortal Slayer City, I have a question I would like to ask you. I wonder if you would be so kind as to answer it?"

"What's the matter?"

"Lord of the Immortal Slayer City, I have observed you several times and noticed that you seem to be able to attract the attention of that stone sphere. As soon as you appear, the stone sphere will rush towards you. Could it be that Lord City Lord has some means to attract the stone sphere and the Fountain of Immortality?"

The man in red spoke with a smile, but Zheng Tuo sensed a conspiracy in that smile.

What are you trying to say?

"The Lord of the Immortal Slayer City is indeed a straightforward person. In that case, I will not hide anything from you. If you really have this method, I can cooperate with you to attract that stone ball, then suppress it, and work together to build the Fountain of Immortality. What do you think?"

The man in red had only one goal: the Fountain of Youth.

He was the first to taste the benefits, so how could he not want more of the Fountain of Youth now?

Zheng Tuo looked at the man in red, while simultaneously observing his surroundings.

The man in red is definitely not alone.

Because of the passing of the ancient relics, they have begun to band together within the current fourth-order divine array.

In groups of three or four, the probability of death was indeed reduced.

so.

The man in red is definitely not alone; there are at least two old men behind him, or even more.

He thought about it carefully.

“Fellow Daoist, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I encountered the stone ball purely by luck. If I had the ability to attract stone balls, I would have taken it for myself long ago. After all, that stone ball is the source of the Fountain of Youth. If I could take it for myself, wouldn’t I have an inexhaustible source of the Fountain of Youth?”

Zheng Tuo would never admit that he could attract the stone ball.

If this is confirmed, it will truly bring him endless disaster.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, all the old fogies will join forces against him.

"Lord of the Immortal Slayer City, you don't need to deny it. As I said, I have been observing you for a long time. You do have some qualities that can attract the attention of the stone sphere. How about this, I will help you find those qualities, and you and I will cooperate to plot the Fountain of Immortality. What do you think?"

The man in red patiently spoke to Zheng Tuo.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo decided not to communicate with the other party any further and turned to leave.

“Lord of the Immortal Slayer City, you know that if you don’t cooperate with me, I will tell everyone about this. At that time, whether this matter is true or not, someone will definitely come looking for you, and it won’t be just one person, but a group of people.”

The man in red began threatening Zheng Tuo.

You know what, that kind of threat is actually quite effective.

Zheng Tuo's recent actions have indeed attracted the attention of some people, but those people are too busy vying for the Fountain of Youth to think about it in a deeper way.

If someone points it out, this matter might actually spread.

however.

The key point is that this is true.

He was indeed able to attract the stone ball's attention, but he himself didn't know why.

Regardless, it's true, and he has no way of explaining it.

"Fellow Daoist, are you threatening me?"

Zheng Tuo paused, his gaze locking onto the man in red.

Regardless of how many people are behind the man in red, if that doesn't work, then make a move and kill him on the spot.

"Hehehe! Lord of the Immortal Slayer City, I have no ill intentions in coming here. I really just want to cooperate with you to plot the Fountain of Immortality. I hope Lord of the Immortal Slayer City understands."

The man in red was calm and composed.

It seems they really are just here to collaborate.

Zheng Tuo naturally wanted to obtain the Fountain of Youth, as it could help people live a second life.

Although he himself possessed unparalleled medicinal herbs, he only had a few.

He currently has nine Dao bodies, but none of them have nine peerless immortal medicines to prolong his life.

If we could make the Fountain of Youth our own.

Then all nine of one's Dao bodies can naturally live out a second life.

Take a thousand steps back.

He uses the Fountain of Youth to cultivate himself, but ultimately, he will definitely take the Fountain of Youth away.

but.

He didn't want to share the Fountain of Youth with anyone.

"Fellow Daoist, you should leave. I don't want to get entangled with you. I have nothing to discuss with you regarding the stone sphere and the Fountain of Youth."

Zheng Tuo decisively rejected the other party's suggestion.

He didn't believe the other party would dare to make his affairs public.

"The Lord of the Immortal Slayer City is indeed cautious. Here's the deal: if this succeeds, I only want four portions of the Fountain of Youth that can help people live a second life, and the rest are all yours. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo immediately understood that there were four people on the other side.

If there were only four old relics, he could handle them all by himself.

of course.

There could not possibly be only four companions behind the man in red.

"As I said, I don't know what you're talking about, and I can't attract the stone ball's attention either. Farewell."

As Zheng Tuo spoke, he turned to leave.

Just then, by sheer coincidence, the stone ball flew towards him.

"hehe!"

The man in red smiled.

"Lord of the Immortal Slayer City, thank you very much."

As the man in red spoke, he turned to look at the flying stone sphere, the Fountain of Youth.

During its flight, the stone ball was suddenly trapped by a powerful force.

hum!
A pre-prepared second-order formation rose from the ground, immediately trapping the stone sphere within.

Brush brush!
Brush brush!
Including the man in red, a total of six old-timers descended upon the scene.

original.

The man in red appeared to discuss with Zheng Tuo the so-called conspiracy to obtain the Fountain of Youth, which was originally part of the plan.

While they were delaying Zheng Tuo, an ancient being was secretly setting up a second-tier divine array.

Once Zheng Tuo had lured the stone ball over, they would immediately activate the formation to capture it. Everything seemed flawless, but Zheng Tuo had already seen through their plan.

Zheng Tuo is no longer alone; he has Jian Shisan protecting him.

Jian Shisan had just told him about the ancient artifacts in the vicinity, so he decided to play along and see what tricks the other party had up their sleeve.

It now appears that the opponent has six ancient figures and a second-tier formation.

With this, it's unlikely that the stone sphere can be stopped from breaking through.

The stone sphere was extremely special; he had never seen the Dao patterns on it before, and it was able to pass through various formations and escape.

A single second-tier formation is probably not enough to stop them!

He thought to himself, looking into the distance.

Six ancient beings took action, using a second-order formation to trap the stone sphere and begin their encirclement and suppression of it.

hum!
The power of the second-order divine array was greatly increased when fully activated by the six ancient beings.

It's clear that the six ancient beings were prepared for this long ago and had already planned how to suppress the stone ball.

Following their pre-planned methods, the six ancient beings began to methodically suppress the stone sphere.

The stone ball was round and spinning, looking quite agile as it moved through the second-tier divine array.

But at this moment, the six ancient beings intervened, continuously blocking the stone ball's path.

Splash!
Within the second-tier divine array, chains appeared, resembling a giant snake, frantically chasing the stone sphere.

It seemed that this wasn't the first time the stone ball had faced this situation.

Dao patterns surged around its body, as if it wanted to smash through everything in its way and escape.

"Stop him!"

Six old-timers join forces to launch an attack.

Clang!

The stone ball struck a round shield and bounced back immediately.

Come again.

The stone ball changed direction and struck again.

Clang!

The stone ball was knocked back again.

This scene keeps repeating itself.

The stone ball really did turn into a ball, and was blocked back and forth by the six ancient artifacts.

at last.

The clanging chains caught up with the stone ball and instantly bound it tightly.

"Hahaha!"

Upon seeing this, the man in red burst into laughter, as if he had already succeeded.

hum!
The power of the second-tier divine array descended, attempting to seal the stone sphere in an instant.

hum!
The Dao patterns on the stone sphere emerged, blocking the sealing power, and the two sides instantly entered a stalemate.

"Hurry to the Fountain of Youth!"

The man in red called out to his teammates.

Instantly.

An old antique, holding a cone-shaped magical weapon, suddenly thrust it into the cracks in the stone sphere.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, a clear spring of youth flowed out from the crevice.

The old man who made the move immediately took out a porcelain bottle, filled it with the Fountain of Youth, and was afraid that not a single drop would be spilled.

"Hahaha, it's done! It's done!"

Several old-fashioned people burst into laughter upon seeing this.

As long as they trap the stone sphere, they can continuously extract the Fountain of Youth from it.

If there are enough Fountains of Youth, they can help the six ancient beings live another life.

obviously.

This is a very long process because a great many fountains of youth need to be taken away.

In the distance, Zheng Tuo watched this scene, lost in thought.

He naturally wanted to take the Fountain of Youth and possess it for himself.

But for some reason, seeing the stone ball being treated like this, he felt a little sorry for it.

even.

A thought suddenly arose in his mind to save the stone ball.

He didn't know why, but he felt that the stone ball was special, as if it had something to do with him.

But no matter what, the other side has six ancient beings and a second-tier divine array. If they really start fighting, I will definitely suffer a loss.

Now, it's best for him to leave this place.

however.

Just as he turned to leave.

suddenly!

A surge of spiritual energy emanated from the stone sphere.

"This is?"

The spiritual fluctuations emanating from the stone ball had only one meaning: to save lives!
"Help?"

The six ancient beings clearly sensed the spiritual fluctuations emanating from the stone sphere.

They also understood that such a plea for help could not possibly be directed at them.

Since that's the case, the six old fogies couldn't help but look at Zheng Tuo, the only one present.

The stone ball was sending a distress signal to Zheng Tuo.

“Lord of the Immortal-Slaying City, you still say that you have no connection with this Fountain of Immortality. If you really have no connection, why would it ask you for help?”

The man in red spoke to Zheng Tuo.

It seemed unintentional, but it was actually a test.

They must not be disturbed at this crucial moment on their journey to the Fountain of Youth.

And in the midst of it.

The only one who could disturb them was Zheng Tuo.

Zheng Tuo was also very curious about this.

The stone sphere could actually emit spiritual energy fluctuations, which means that the stone sphere itself was a kind of alternative life form.

hum!
The stone ball once again emitted a spiritual energy fluctuation, pleading for help from Zheng Tuo.

Upon sensing the fluctuations in the stone sphere's spiritual energy, Zheng Tuo frowned slightly, because he found himself being influenced and wanting to make a move.

"Lord of the Immortal Slayer City, I advise you to calm down."

The man in red noticed Zheng Tuo's impulsiveness.

"Don't worry, we won't harm the Fountain of Youth. We will only take the amount we need. In addition, we will also take out a portion for you, enough for you to live another life. After all, it was you who attracted the Fountain of Youth here. Otherwise, we would not have had the opportunity to set a trap in advance and capture it."

The man in red is truly an old-fashioned person.

One of his points was to appease Zheng Tuo, hoping that Zheng Tuo would not interfere.

Another way is to tell it to the stone ball.

Since the stone ball can transmit spiritual energy fluctuations, it means that it has a spirit.

Since it possesses sentience, it can understand what it just said, because what it just said was also transmitted using the fluctuations of its soul.

In this way...

He was deliberately trying to sow discord between Zheng Tuo and Shi Qiu. If he succeeded, Shi Qiu and Zheng Tuo would naturally become enemies, and they could then take out enough Fountain of Immortality without worry.

An old antique is an old antique.

His seemingly casual words were full of traps and schemes.

however.

Zheng Tuo saw through his methods at a glance.

He was pondering whether or not to save the stone ball, because he sensed a special connection between it and himself.

Just as Zheng Tuo was hesitating.

quack!

A crisp sound came from where the stone ball was.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the stone sphere.

Immediately afterwards, the stone sphere cracked open in front of everyone, revealing what was inside.

"This is!"

When the people present saw what was inside the stone sphere, they were all stunned on the spot!
