Dragon of the Root

Chapter 943: Unreturning Formation: Stone Sentinel Maze

Gilgamesh used to bicker with Wu Ming like this before, but whenever Enkidu acted as an intermediary to persuade them, Gilgamesh and Wu Ming were fine in an instant.

From an outsider's point of view, one might think that Wu Ming and Gilgamesh had quarreled, but the two of them only looked fierce on the surface, but actually they didn't mean to fight at all.

Gilgamesh who had grown up could be called a "bastard". Although not enough to shout at Enkidu and Wu Ming, sometimes Gilgamesh's temper was so irritable that Wu Ming was a little hard to contain.

Enkidu's words would definitely make for a gentle conversation with Gilgamesh as if he "knows and moves", but without Wu Ming, he definitely wouldn't be so "gentle".

So there was a conversation that looked like a fight with an outsider earlier.

Over time, it has become a way of saying between the two, and it can be considered a kind of emotional catharsis.

Therefore, from appearances alone, Wu Ming and Gilgamesh who seemed to be arguing were actually only communicating normally.

Gilgamesh was clearly not angry, but simply indulged his feelings in front of relatives, friends, and mentors, leading to quarrels.

Losing temper with outsiders is due to anger, and losing temper with "family" just because the other party is "family", and that is not called losing temper.

To put it simply, there was no need to worry, because to Gilgamesh, Wu Ming was "family".

Even though as a king, he actually doesn't need to look at other people's faces, and he can use the vest of a "tyrant" to act arbitrarily. In this case, when facing the "family", he did not need to hide.

Especially after sitting on the throne of the "Sage King" and becoming the true "King of Humans", Gilgamesh had not experienced anything like that in a long time.

After all, compared to when he was young, Gilgamesh who was a Sage King, would never deny what he said, because what the Sage King said was absolutely true.

Compared to Gilgamesh's youth, there are still some fools who constantly rebuke, and now in the Uruk palace, it can be said that there is no unnecessary trace.

After all, what the Sage King said was true, and naturally no one would go and comment.

But no matter when Gilgamesh was, there was a lack of "family" who could talk to him, and who could objectively communicate whether it was right or wrong. Enkidu's temperament was too gentle, and Wu Ming could not possibly be capable of this role.

That means Gilgamesh's mentor, and an existence like his "adoptive father", and his thinking is quite avant-garde, and more importantly, he can neither defeat nor subdue an opponent.

Gilgamesh couldn't fight Wu Ming by dying together. Over time, this became a way of talking between Wu Ming and Gilgamesh.

It was a pity that they still had business at this time, otherwise Wu Ming wouldn't mind talking to Gilgamesh here. When Enkidu appears again, it will surely shock Gilgamesh to the point that his face changes color.

Thinking of this, an evil smile appeared on Wu Ming's face.

But Wu Ming thought of one of the Demon Beast commanders, who pretended to be Enkidu.

This is also a problem that must be faced alone.

But for now, let's solve the problem at hand.

As soon as everyone turned the corner, what caught the eye was a door with a special formation.

The gate completely blocked the path ahead, without the slightest gap, and it seemed that it grew here naturally.

When he saw this stone door, Wu Ming noticed that an unknown magic power enveloped him.

"senpai, do you feel it" Mashu and Gudako whispered.

"Well, I feel it."

Gudako nodded.

"We might enter the Noble Phantasm range."

Wu Ming wanted to take a step forward, faced the magic power emanating from the door in front of him, and walked to the door.

It is like a circle formed by two large black and white fish intertwined with each other, surrounded by eight very similar figures but with obvious surprises in detail, this is the formation method depicted on this door.

"Map Bagua, this is probably the formation that Zhuge Kongming mastered the Unreturning Formation."

Back then at Fuyuki's singularity, Zhuge Kongming wanted to use the Unreturning Formation against Attila in an attempt to contain him and give Gudako and the others a chance to escape.

But Zhuge Kongming's Unreturning Formation had just been used, and it was neutralized by Sima Yi's Unspeakable Formation specially designed to deal with Zhuge Kongming.

Wu Ming still saw the power of the Unreturning Formation here today.

"Chrys."

At Wu Ming's command, the luminous dragon horn on his head, that is, Chrysbelite, suddenly widened, and then immediately weakened.

The light emitted by the Chrysbelite was for scanning, and the light that had just appeared was like radiation, instantly scanning the surrounding area centered here.

"Master, everything underground that I can scan is covered in invisible magic power, and due to the uniqueness of the opponent's Noble Phantasm, if you are not close to here, you will not be able to sense the existence of this special magic."

Maybe because of the opponent's Noble Phantasm quirk. Even though the range of its magic power is very wide, if you don't approach the source, you won't find it at all.

And the entire underground beyond the scanning range of the Chrysbelite is covered.

"This is Zhuge Kongming's countermeasure to prevent Uruk from being attacked from the ground by Demon Beasts again."

As he spoke, Wu Ming looked at Gilgamesh.

But Gilgamesh didn't answer Wu Ming right away.

"This king had a headache at first about how to prepare for the Demon Beast's next dungeon attack. This king's advisor has helped this king a lot."

Since there would be a second time, Gilgamesh would not expect that the Demon Beasts would become like humans, giving up once the solution failed, and Uruk's safety could not be careless with gambling.

And it just so happened that Zhuge Kongming's Noble Phantasm had the function of blocking enemy invasions, and could be used as an underground defense which gave Gilgamesh a headache.

But there is also a price.

In order to allow the dungeon to be completely covered, the extended range of the Unreturning Formation can only be stored underground, and the above-ground part cannot be taken care of at all.

However, almost the entire underground that stretched straight into Uruk behind the northern wall was "locked" by Zhuge Kongming's Noble Phantasm.

Once a Demon Beast slipped into the Unreturning Formation's range, it would instantly lose its way and would only return to its starting point in the end.

As for digging deeper into the ground to sneak into Uruk to attack, it was even more impossible, because if it went any further, it would dig into the underworld of Ereshkigal.
