Chapter 2145 Mundane Traps
In Lin Mu's scope of vision, he could see several sets of flowing immortal Qi. These sets had multiple weaving Qi streams and were certainly not like ambient Immortal Qi. As such, it wasn't hard to tell that they were quite clearway a trap. And with how many of them that were spread around, it only made sense that it would be due to a trap.

In this spatial perception, he couldn't tell what kind of trap it was of course, but the fact that it was floating in air and not in the roof or ground meant that it was different than the previous one.
"Oh? Its invisible huh..." Ziran looks at the formation screen his wrist.
The glass eye had the ability to directly observe immortal Qi too and could see it floating in air.
But Elder Hu had a direct response to the trap, he simply threw out a punch that transformed into an illusory gauntlet and struck the air.
~BANG~
The illusory gauntlet was blocked by the sudden appearance of a spiked wall. It seemed to have been made from a formation but the power in it was greater than one would expect.
~HISS~
Not just that, but the spikes on the illusory shield were not simple and exuded a dark green smoke while a hissing sound was also heard.
"Those would definitely hurt." Ziran said seeing the spikes that were leaking acid.
Still, the shield couldn't stop the illusory gauntlet for long, and neither could it damage it. ~CRACK~
A second later, the shield cracked apart and the formation dissipated.
"If all of them are going to be at this level, this trial will be simple." Lin Mu said. "But I have a hunch its only going to ramp up from here." He added.
"For sure." Ziran nodded. "These trials like to create a false sense of confidence which can be more deadly than any trap." He said to everyone's agreement.
Lin Mu had understood this fact for a long time and had seen many of his foes fall to it too. As such, he knew better than to trust in everything blindly and not to have too much confidence in how things would go.
The area in front of them was still dark, and the Immoral sense suppressing arrays were still active. "Let the eye check it out." Ziran said and controlled the eye to move.
The eye moved for about a hundred meters uninterrupted. Nothing of concern was found so far, but after a certain point, the area suddenly brightened up!
~HUALA~
"What the..." Lin Mu, who saw the formation screen, was surprised by the sudden flash of light.
The image became clear a few moments later, and they could finally see what was hidden behind that dark. "A pool full of boiling and burning oil." Ziran observed.
The pool seemingly covered the entire area, and the eye could not see any solid path. The oil in the pool was also burning and was the source of the smell. "What's up with this? It wouldn't do much harm to most immortals." Lin Mu said, seeing it.
Even if the flames might be hot, they weren't even enough to hurt a Nascent Soul realm cultivator to forget an Immortal expert. "I doubt it's just normal oil, even if it smells like pig fat," Ziran said, wrinkling his noise.
~HUU~
He took a deep huff and tried to see if there was anything wrong in the air.
"It's not poisonous at least," Ziran said. "But I can't tell anything more." He added.
Lady Kang tried to sense it too, but couldn't find anything peculiar.
"Elder Hu, do you sense anything?" She asked.
"Nothing. It just smells like pig fat... Though it certainly feels more like a disguise." Elder Hu gave his opinion.
"The smell could be masking something else," Min Ju chimed in.
"Masking something, huh..." Lin Mu narrowed his eyes before calling someone. "What do you think, Little Shrubby?" ~SHUA~
In the next moment, a red cat appeared on Lin Mu's shoulder.
