Chapter 478: Chapter 468: The Chessboard Revealed! An Inescapable Killing Trap

Master, Master, where are you!

This is extremely urgent!

The Little Groundhog scurried around the River of Time, feeling very anxious.

But, in such a vast River of Time, where could it find the Master?

Moreover, at this time, the Master was still over the River of Time, not yet returned home, and the situation was urgent, it was impossible to leave Brother Shi there alone.

What if the opposition secretly called reinforcements too?

At this moment, it’s about who can call reinforcements faster.

In the next second.

The Little Groundhog noticed its "little boat" had stopped; looking down, it found the Water of Time beneath its feet had ceased flowing.

It was stunned for a moment.

When it lifted its head, it saw the Master standing on the Water of Time, right in front of it.

At the moment it saw the Master, the Little Groundhog’s eyes reddened, and it almost burst into tears.

"What are you wandering about on the river for?"

Su Mu, as usual, was patrolling the river normally and sensed a familiar aura somewhere on the River of Time, so he instantly arrived at the spot.

For Su Mu, with his sensitivity to this Long River, no breeze or rustling would escape his notice.

The Master’s words snapped the Little Groundhog back to reality. After it regained its senses, it gestured and transmitted sound to the Master with eagerness.

After hearing the Little Groundhog’s words, Su Mu’s brows furrowed deeply.

"Lead the way."

With a wave of his big hand, Su Mu lifted the Little Groundhog with one hand, letting it navigate, Su Mu, like a stream of light, shuttled through the River of Time at an extreme speed.

His greatest worry was... it was likely another "ambush" meticulously laid by the "enemy" for him.

Luring his Spirit Pets, trapping them, and then drawing him over, the purpose was already very clear.

Yet even knowing this, there was no choice, he still had to go rescue, still had to handle it.

After all, the enemy was in the dark, and he was in the open, even if it was an "open scheme," he still had to go, he couldn’t just leave Little Stone to fend for himself.

The Little Groundhog felt dizzy, and in an instant, by the time it gathered its senses, it had arrived at the marshland, beside a deep pit.

It emerged from the deep pit, covering about an hour’s journey.

The Master brought it back to this place, using just an instant, not even the time of a breath!

No wonder he is the Master!

This couldn’t be described merely as "fast," it was directly like teleportation, in the vast River of Time, the Master came and went freely!

... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Is it here?"

Su Mu stood on the marshland, pointing at the deep pit in front of him, asking the Little Groundhog.

Hearing this, the Little Groundhog nodded furiously.

"Wait here for me."

With that, Su Mu leapt and jumped into the deep pit.

Upon seeing the Master jump down.

The Little Groundhog hesitated not at all and followed to jump down.

If it were to cower now, wouldn’t it make the Master think it was someone who feared death?

When to perform?

This was the best time to show off!

Where the Master goes, I will also go!

Even if there are knives and fire ahead, I will not fear, I will follow loyally unto death!

....

Soon, Su Mu landed on an open space, unfolded his Divine Sense, and discovered a whole world within the deep pit, a not-insignificant space.

He also sensed the aura of the Iron-Eating Beast.

The Little Groundhog, after landing, ran in front of Su Mu, leading him: "Master, follow me!"

Seeing this, Su Mu was taken aback, merely sighed, and followed along.

The reason he left the Little Groundhog above was that if he indeed "fell into an ambush," at least it would ensure its safety.

After all, the enemy came aggressively; who knew what the specifications of this "trap" were this time...

The Little Groundhog rushed to the location of the Iron-Eating Beast at the fastest speed, with Su Mu following behind, both hurrying and observing the surrounding environment.

"Ouch!"

The Little Groundhog bumped into something solid, directly tumbling to the ground.

Su Mu also stopped his steps.

With a wave of his hand, the Immortal Light brightened considerably, illuminating the road ahead.

He saw himself trapped in a square space all around.

All around were iron walls, and on closer inspection, crawling all over were pitch-black runes, gleaming....

The toppled groundhog got up from the ground, stabilized itself, and was stunned upon seeing the scene in front of it.

It clearly remembered this was indeed the road.

It had just entered from here and also exited here, it absolutely wasn’t wrong!

"Master, I remember, it’s this road...." it transmitted sound, gesturing eagerly to Su Mu, extremely anxious, trying its best to explain it hadn’t led the wrong way.

At these words, Su Mu calmly said: "You’re not wrong."

Indeed, it was another ambush aimed at him again.

In the next second.

The black runes on the surrounding iron walls emitted pitch-black Immortal Light, converging into thirty-six humanoid Dharma Aspects, seated in the sky above.

The Little Groundhog was stunned upon seeing these thirty-six humanoid Dharma Aspects, sensing an extremely dangerous aura.

Why...why did it not encounter these when it came with Brother Shi just now?!

After the Master arrived, everything...seemed different!

Su Mu operated the Cultivation Technique, waved his big hand, and a vast amount of Spiritual Power gathered around the Little Groundhog, forming a Barrier to protect it within.

After doing all this, Su Mu slowly raised his head, gazing at the thirty-six humanoid Dharma Aspects in the sky, his expression calm, though in his tranquil pupils, strands of Immortal Radiance flickered.

...

At the same time.

In front of the Stone Sect, two Barrier Beasts started bickering again, unexpectedly.

Suddenly, the surrounding iron walls revealed numerous pitch-black runes, and the Spiritual Power in the air began to turn bizarre.

Upon sensing this change, the two Barrier Beasts stopped bickering, and the Iron-Eating Beast, meditating in the deep pit, abruptly opened its eyes.

The Iron-Eating Beast leapt from the deep pit, unfolded its Divine Sense, and found it had been confined, a tremendously powerful energy had blocked all its senses.

It looked back, the path it had come from had vanished.

It turned to the two Barrier Beasts and angrily rebuked: "So it’s you! So this was your plot!"

Upon hearing the Iron-Eating Beast’s accusation, the two Barrier Beasts looked at each other in bewilderment, their faces plastered with "We don’t know!"

"Speak up!"

"Wasn’t this a trap you prearranged?!"

The Iron-Eating Beast roared at the two Barrier Beasts.

For counting the time, the Master should have arrived by now, having sensed the Master’s approaching aura earlier.

But now, all "spaces" were locked.

It couldn’t sense the Master’s aura anymore.

This meant, the Master was trapped!

Moreover, it was it that sent the Little Groundhog to find the Master, this...this was all its fault!

A strong sense of guilt surged ino the heart of the Iron-Eating Beast.

...

Facing the Iron-Eating Beast’s questioning, the two Barrier Beasts were dumbfounded.
