Master Rong Yang seemed very confident in his own formation.
However, there was always someone better. Feng Wu had been taught by Mu Jiuzhou himself, and Master Rong Yang just wasn’t her match.
Based on the current time and the layout of the formation, Feng Wu was soon able to deduce the right button.
When Feng Wu pressed the “up” button with her fair, slender finger —
With a small click, the wall inside the well opened to reveal a passageway that was wide enough for a person to walk through.
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up, and she quickly entered.
She didn’t have to walk very far. Roughly a hundred meters later, she saw the end of the passageway.
From there, Feng Wu walked into an open space.
She was now in an open-air refinery site, and an orange flame burned in the center of the place.
“Wow!”
Seeing this, Little Phoenix rolled around excitedly in the ring space.
It yelled as it rolled around.
“Abnormal flame! That’s an abnormal flame!”
As it turned out, the orange flame was also a type of abnormal flame, and the discovery made Feng Wu a little excited as well. However, she remained calm and kept surveying the area.
A few steps away from the orange flame, an old man sat on the ground with his legs crossed, as though he was meditating.
Feng Wu recalled something Feng Xun had said before.
“Master Rong Yang has an odd habit that very few people know about. He prays to be blessed by God every time he’s about to forge a weapon, and it always lasts at least an hour.”
Feng Wu smiled a little. She then took a bottle of liquid out of her chest pocket and quietly moved toward the smelting table.
The dragon scale gold sat right on the table and glowed a faint golden color.
Feng Wu poured the liquid over the dragon scale gold, and the liquid evaporated as soon as it touched the metal.
Just then, Feng Wu felt a frisson of alarm. When she looked over her shoulder, she saw that Master Rong Yang was waking up!
Without hesitation, Feng Wu rushed back into the passageway.
Master Rong Yang’s eyes snapped open when Feng Wu dashed off, and they glowed with a blue light.
He frowned a little, for he thought he had sensed an intruder.
Getting to his feet, Master Rong Yang walked around the site, and even checked the button at the entrance of the passageway, but nothing seemed to have been tampered with.
“Was it my imagination?”
He smiled wryly when he saw the dragon scale gold.
It was sitting right on the table. Had someone really been here, they would have stolen it already.
Once his mind was settled, Master Rong Yang started forging the weapon.
Meanwhile, Feng Wu narrowly escaped detection and jumped out of the well. However, before she could let out a breath of relief…
“Who’s there?”
Yuan, who had been keeping guard in the tree, shouted and leapt in Feng Wu’s direction.
Just then —
The cub meowed a few steps away.
Yuan paused and turned in the cub’s direction in bewilderment. Feng Wu took the opportunity to flee.
She moved as swift as a shooting star.
Luckily, she knew formations very well and had learned the layout of the courtyard like the back of her hand. Anyone else would have been caught by now.
Soon, she returned to the woodshed.
Whoosh —
She pressed her back against the door after she entered, and let out a breath of relief.
Chaoge was also relieved to see Feng Wu back.
