Rhine had considered tossing a high-powered illumination lamp into that pitch-black hole to see what lay beneath the ground.
But the lighting equipment they threw down, even glow sticks and the like, were swallowed by the darkness within moments. It seemed there was thick fog below, making it impossible to see anything.
The illumination sticks and high-powered lighting equipment they tossed down lost all light not long after leaving their hands.
So they could not see what was below and could only proceed downward along the passage.
As Rhine's team began moving, Chen Mo, who had been waiting above, followed after them. When his Spiritual Sense swept past the depth where the drones had lost their signal, he made a new discovery that surprised and intrigued him.
What surprised Chen Mo was that his Spiritual Sense detected a Barrier several hundred meters below his current location.
Moreover, this Barrier felt extremely familiar to Chen Mo. It was a formation from the Cultivation World.
However, the Spiritual Energy within the Barrier seemed very weak, so the formation had lost nearly ninety percent of its function. Only formations that consumed little Spiritual Energy, such as concealment, Spirit Gathering, and dense fog, remained active. All the other formations had completely failed.
As for what other functions the formation contained, that could not be determined without seeing the Formation Base or coming into contact with the formation itself.
After giving it some thought, Chen Mo continued following them. Since the Spiritual Energy had already been depleted, even if there was a Killing Array within the formation, it had likely ceased functioning. He could study it once he came into contact with the formation's Barrier.
Kamala and several Ability Users scouted ahead. They proceeded with great caution, yet nothing unexpected happened along the way. But
