"Uncle Mu, are you alright?"
Nai Mucha saw the bone arrow suddenly appear and then being caught by Mu Jinyu. Although he knew that with the power just released by this arrow, there was no way it could harm Mu Jinyu, he still asked nervously.
Mu Jinyu shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
With a simple reply, Mu Jinyu's gaze withdrew from the bone arrow in his hand and moved towards the place ahead where white light had originally appeared and runes were interwoven.
He murmured to himself, "The restrictions here are indeed extraordinary, even I couldn't notice them."
Mu Jinyu had just scanned this piece of mountain land and found nothing, no restrictions were present. But unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, he suddenly triggered a restriction, followed by a bone arrow coming at him.
And in his inspection, this piece of mountain land still showed no restrictions present.
This can only mean that the restrictions left from an unknown amount of time ago are far more impressive than those mastered by the people of today.
This discovery made Mu Jinyu shudder involuntarily.
But he wasn't afraid.
Rather, he was excited, he was eager.
Because if he can study and grasp it, how strong would his expertise in restrictions become?
By then, he wouldn't even need to make a personal move, just laying down restrictions would be enough to trap and kill people!
Even a peerless expert like his master at the Void Breaking Realm, I'm afraid even facing such restrictions, would be caught off guard!
"Ha!"
Mu Jinyu put away the bone arrow, then took out the Dragon Spear, while speaking to Nai Mucha, "Nai Mucha, leave here, I need to carefully study the restrictions here. If more unknown restrictions are triggered, you'll be in danger, leave."
"Yes."
Nai Mucha came in to protect Mu Jinyu, not to be a burden. Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, he thought of the bone arrow that suddenly appeared previously and nodded, finding the way he came and leaving this folded space along the subtle spatial fluctuations.
"How is it? Where is the Dragon Master?"
Wang Tengfei and Zhuo Bufan, among others, were waiting for Mu Jinyu to leave this folded area to continue up the mountain, but only saw Nai Mucha coming out alone, prompting them to frown and ask.
Nai Mucha glanced at them, his expression cold, and answered stiffly, "Uncle Mu triggered a restriction inside and was attacked by a bone arrow, now he needs to continue checking inside."
"How can it be?"
"We've all checked, there shouldn't be any restrictions left!"
Wang Tengfei and Zhuo Bufan, the seven of them, hearing Nai Mucha's words, were stunned, then spoke gravely.
They wanted to explain, they weren't trying to deliberately set Mu Jinyu up, they were unaware.
In the end, they couldn't resist wanting to go in and check what's going on inside.
Nai Mucha directly blocked them, saying, "That bone arrow just now can shoot and kill those at the Fanxu Realm, Uncle Mu is going to fully trigger the restrictions inside, you better not go in and court death."
After Nai Mucha left, Mu Jinyu's gaze focused, tightly gripping the Dragon Spear, then forcefully waved it!
"Boom!!"
Instantly, a terrifying Qi Force shook through eight directions, dust stirred, and vegetation wilted.
Meanwhile.
"Whoosh!"
"Boom!"
"Bang!!"
Within this mountain land roughly the size of a football field, three positions suddenly lit up with intense light. Ancient runes, both rustic and blood-stained, sparkled, followed by one bone spear and two stone arrows shooting fiercely at Mu Jinyu.
The power of these ancient soldiers could easily shoot and kill a Fanxu Realm expert.
Yet Mu Jinyu paid little attention to these ancient soldiers, his gaze fixed on those runes that flickered uncertainly once the restrictions were triggered.
His gaze exchanged with those runes, determined to memorize them for later study.
When the ancient soldiers charged at him, he waved his hand lightly, easily dissolving the secret power imbued in them, then collecting them.
The ancient soldiers had some research value, he didn't want to destroy them directly, that would be too wasteful.
Shortly after the restrictions were triggered, those interwoven flickering runes gradually faded away.
Mu Jinyu slowly closed his eyes, having memorized most of the runes.
"Phew..."
A few minutes later, Mu Jinyu opened his eyes and attempted casually to record those runes out of thin air, trying to see if they had any effect.
But unfortunately, perhaps because he hadn't grasped all the runes, the runes he carved didn't have any effect.
"Oh well, I'll wait until I've explored more and mastered more runes, then study further."
Mu Jinyu didn't obsess over it, insisting on unlocking the rune's effects immediately. After several attempts proved ineffective, he temporarily gave up on the study.
Then, Mu Jinyu took out the ancient soldiers he had collected earlier, inspected them briefly, and seeing nothing more, stored them for future study.
"I wonder if these light fog walls have restrictions engraved on them to block people from proceeding."
Mu Jinyu cast a thoughtful gaze upon the light fog walls.
According to those people's statements, the Mount Tai's mountain body has expanded several times over the past year, presumably as folded spaces shattered restrictions, reappearing in the world.
If that's the case, these light fog walls should also be made of runes-written restrictions, slicing and concealing Mount Tai's complete mountain body.
With this thought, Mu Jinyu stepped toward the light fog walls ahead.
Soon, he reached the front of the light fog wall, took out a magic treasure long spear, and attempted to send it into the fog wall.
"Buzz!"
"Sizzle, sizzle!!"
As the spearhead entered the fog, a discreet flicker of runes appeared, and soon the long spear, like a fish dropped into concentrated sulfuric acid, was quickly corroded clean.
If it weren't for Mu Jinyu promptly retracting his hand and discarding the spear handle, his hand might have been corroded by the runes.
"Different from the previous runes, but both have hidden effects."
Mu Jinyu's eyes shimmered with an excited light; he didn't rush to conduct further research.
Instead, he turned back to find Nai Mucha and the others.
"Dragon Master, are you alright?!"
"We truly didn't know there were restrictions inside."
Wang Tengfei, Zhuo Bufan, and others, seeing Mu Jinyu coming out unscathed, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately explained.
"Hmm, I know what's going on."
Mu Jinyu nodded, not blaming them, explained, "The reason there are still three restriction traps inside isn't because you were negligent and didn't discover them. Actually, just by relying on eyesight and Divine Sense, I couldn't discover them either. The reason I triggered the restrictions and you didn't is due to your insufficient strength, so no matter how much you moved around the restrictions, you couldn't activate them."
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation, Zhuo Bufan and the others understood.
It's like a hunter setting a trap, first digging a pit, then covering it with straw and sand. Sparrows flying over won't collapse the straw pile because of their light weight, but humans and animals like wild boars running over certainly would, falling into the pit.
When they checked before, they didn't find these restrictions because their strength wasn't enough, their weight wasn't enough, and the restrictions were too lazy to activate.
"I see, does it actually require Unity Realm Stage cultivation to trigger restrictions?"
"Then were we lucky to survive because of our weakness?"
Zhuo Bufan and Wang Tengfei, realizing the situation, spoke with some lingering fear.
Mu Jinyu shook his head and said, "It shouldn't require Unity Realm cultivation to trigger the restrictions; it's probably around the Mid-Stage of the Fuxuan Realm that would trigger them. Otherwise, given the power of those traps, targeting the Unity Realm would be pointless."
Speaking, Mu Jinyu was too lazy to waste words, said indifferently, "Let's go. Follow me inside and I'll ask you some questions."
