C356 Black Panther's Lair
C356 Black Panther's Lair
The black panther's skin was already thick enough; after it stimulated the profound energy in the body to form a protective layer of energy on the surface of the body, Lin Long was basically unable to move even if he wanted to.
Lin Long was unable to do anything, nor was it able to do anything to Lin Long. Who knew how many times it had wanted to use its sharp teeth to tear apart Lin Long's flesh, but Lin Long's powerful body technique made it helpless.
In the end, it simply picked up Lin Long and ran off.
Thinking that it should be returning to its own nest, Lin Long did not resist and allowed it to run forward.
Of course, to prevent himself from getting lost, he memorized the terrain along the way.
Along the way, all the ferocious beasts that they met with the black panther spread out. At this time, Lin Long also understood why the wild beasts near the place where they made such a huge commotion did not respond.
Before long, the black panther carried Lin Long to a small mountain. Other than it, there did not seem to be any other beasts on the mountain.
Soon after, they arrived in front of a huge rock whose surface was as flat as a knife's. The black panther then put Lin Long down.
However, it did not leave after putting it down. Instead, it laid beside Lin Long, staring at him without blinking.
It was likely that this black panther was planning on wasting its time with it. Once he ran out of strength, it would pounce on him, and at that time, he would become the black panther's food.
Lin Long did not want this deduction to become a reality, so after being placed down, he immediately started to observe his surroundings to see if there were any Runic Circles here, or if there were any methods to escape.
During this period of time in here, there was nothing special about this place. It was simply an ordinary mountain, which couldn't help but cause Lin Long to frown a little.
After the tea was finished, Liu Ming's eyes lit up because he discovered that on the surface of the blade-like rock beside him, there were faint glyph lines flashing.
This was definitely a rune array! Lin Long affirmed in his heart.
Following the flashing of the runes on the huge boulder, Lin Long discovered that the spirit energy in his surroundings seemed to be extremely dense.
This was actually a rune array that could gather spiritual energy! This was truly unexpected for Lin Long.
However, now was not the time to cultivate because there was a fierce beast lying beside him. One could imagine that once he cultivated, the black panther would definitely not let go of such an opportunity and he would definitely become the black panther's food in the first possible moment.
Although he couldn't cultivate, Lin Long's eyes were tightly locked on the huge rock, carefully analyzing the runes and threads, hoping to find something within.
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the runes on the huge rock suddenly disappeared without a trace. The huge rock once again returned to its normal state.
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the runic lines on the surface appeared again. It repeated this cycle.
It was obvious that this rune array only appeared once in awhile. This was also the reason why he didn't notice it when he first arrived here.
Of course, Lin Long did not give up his guard against the black panther when he was staring at the boulder. The moment the black panther made any movements, he would immediately activate the body technique on his body.
A human and a beast took nearly four hours. After that, the black panther seemed to be unable to endure any longer and suddenly rushed towards Lin Long.
It was also at this time that Lin Long suddenly bounced off the ground, and smashed his fist against a certain part of the huge boulder. However, the force of the smash did not cause any damage to the Runic Circle, but instead dispersed in all directions like ripples.
Following that, with a smash, the originally calm Rune Circle suddenly released a dazzling light, which directly bounced away the black panther that was approaching it, and Lin Long, who was in contact with the Rune Circle, merged into the light.
When the light disappeared, Lin Long had already appeared in an extremely exquisite stone hut.
Inside the stone hut, there were a few extremely exquisite stone tables and stools. However, what attracted Lin Long's attention were the dense words carved on the four walls.
After a careful look, Lin Long discovered that these words were written with information about the Symbol Literature. It was basically the same as the Symbol Literature in the tribe, but there were some details that were even more detailed than the knowledge written in the tribe.
This discovery immediately made Lin Long happy, because this kind of knowledge was something that he urgently needed. Maybe after reading the words here, he would be able to further improve his own rune apparatus.
After which, he immediately read it seriously.
Only after approximately six hours had passed did Lin Long's gaze leave the stone hut's walls. And at this time, his face also revealed a hint of a smile, because his gains were not small.
The last piece of text on the wall explained how to build a rune apparatus that could materialize energy. Although the meaning behind the words was that the author of the last character was only going to say it out in a guesswork manner, it gave Lin Long a lot of inspiration.
Immediately, Lin Long took out the various materials needed to create the rune apparatus from his rune space ring.
He was used to placing all kinds of ingredients in the rune space ring, but he never expected that it would come in handy at this time.
Time passed slowly as he worked hard to study it. After an unknown amount of time had passed, Lin Long, who had been buried in his study all this time, finally raised his head.
He had not slept for a very long time, and his eyes were bloodshot. However, his face carried an excited smile, because he was finally able to rely on his own insights to improve the rune apparatus.
The improved rune apparatus should be able to materialize the energy, but of course, that was only in theory. He had to experiment a few times to prove that it was actually true.
Therefore, even though he was very tired, he didn't have the intention to rest immediately. Instead, he picked up the rune apparatus and placed it on his arm, before using his profound energy to activate it.
After a breath of time, a crescent-shaped force suddenly appeared in the air in front of him.
He succeeded!
Looking at the crescent-shaped force, Lin Long immediately became ecstatic.
He was previously beaten up by Mo An using the crescent-shaped force, and now that he had researched it himself, how could he not be happy?
After successfully creating the rune apparatus, Lin Long did not leave immediately, but instead sat down and meditated inside the stone hut to cultivate.
The reason for this was because he was still inside the rune array. The energy that the rune array gathered had clearly been depleted. Therefore, he would naturally not let go of this opportunity to increase his own strength.
After all, it was very difficult to find a rune formation that could gather spiritual energy.
This rune formation could also lead to another place, so he had to wait until it used up all the energy before he could try it again.
As for where this rune formation would lead to, it would only be revealed when the time came.
