Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16529

Chapter 16527. Trap

The castle deity held a compass, and a red protective shield had been raised over the castle. Simultaneously, the magic arrays on the outer walls of the castle all lit up, clearly indicating an imminent battle.

At this moment, the massive skeleton stopped ten miles outside the castle, and then two figures flew out from within it. Seeing this, the castle deity knew that the other side had no intention of attacking, and he flew directly out of his castle.

Once outside, he saw the two figures who had flown in. The leader was a tall but extremely thin man. His skeleton was enormous, but his body was almost entirely bone, with almost no flesh. Even his eyes were deeply sunken, and it seemed as if will-o’-the-wisps flickered within them.

This man was the Skeleton Deity. Beside him was an old man, who appeared quite old, with white hair and beard, yet possessed an air of otherworldly wisdom.

The castle deity gave the old man a deep look, then turned to the skeleton deity and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, “Greetings, Your Excellency.”

The skeleton deity glanced at the castle deity, then at the castle surrounding him, and asked, “It seems your castle expansion is complete?”

The castle deity calmly replied, “Yes, my castle expansion is complete. Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency.”

The skeleton deity looked at the castle and suddenly said, “Not bad, but I wonder if the person you found is reliable enough to properly expand the old formation’s magic array.”

The castle deity smiled slightly, then clasped his hands in greeting, saying, “Since it was an acquaintance who helped, I couldn’t refuse. He entrusted the magic array in my castle… ” “The entire formation has been changed, so all I can say here is my apologies.”

Upon hearing this, the ghostly fire in the skeleton god’s eyes flickered, but quickly subsided. He looked at the castle god and said, “I truly didn’t expect you to have altered the formation. But it’s your business after all; whatever makes you happy.”

The castle god once again clasped his hands in a fist salute to the skeleton god, saying, “Thank you for your concern, sir.”

The skeleton god nodded and said, “No need to be so polite. Farewell.”

With that, he led the old formation away, while the castle god watched them return to the skeleton until they disappeared. Only then did he return to the castle and drive it away.

Just as the castle god was driving the castle away, the skeleton god was standing on the skeleton watching. Standing beside him was Old Formation. The name Old Formation was actually given to him by the skeleton god. Old Formation was a specialist in magic arrays. The skeleton god also used Old Formation to trick others. He did indeed have Old Formation secretly leave backdoors when helping others set up magic arrays, so that he could deal with them one day.

However, it seemed he would be disappointed this time, because the castle god had actually altered the magic array. The skeleton god said, “It seems he knows we tampered with the magic array, otherwise he wouldn’t have changed it. Who ruined my plans?”

Upon hearing this, Old Zhen immediately replied, “He asked us to meet at the market. We were a little late, but not too late. And his castle is parked outside the market, so it seems his magic array has just been upgraded. The person who upgraded it must still be at the market. My lord, should we go to the market to inquire?”

The skeleton god nodded and said, “Alright, go to the market and inquire. See if anyone has been setting up magic arrays for others recently.” With that, he vanished into his skeleton, and Old Zhen also disappeared into it. Then the skeleton began to move, heading straight for the market.

They quickly arrived at the market, and the skeleton god immediately sent people to inquire. The people sent out returned shortly afterward.

The skeletal god sat in his study, attending to his tasks. His study was located within the skull of his skeleton, specifically at the position of his eyes. This skeleton was a particularly large magical artifact with an inner space inhabited by many of his followers. He was a creator god-level cultivator, capable of creating all things and leaving his mark in the illusory realm. He could be considered on par with Zhao Hai, although Zhao Hai hadn’t fully adapted to the spiritual energy here, so his current strength was inferior.

This large magical artifact wasn’t created by him. When he left his mark in the illusory realm, a territory of his own was established there. On this territory, he found the skeleton of a giant, which he then refined into his divine kingdom. That’s how his divine kingdom came to be.

Although his divine kingdom looked terrifying, it was actually quite nice inside, especially his study. The study was beautifully decorated, with walls made of fragrant wood and adorned with calligraphy and paintings, giving it an elegant feel.

The skeletal god sat behind his desk, two cultivators standing before him. These two cultivators appeared unremarkable, both quite ordinary-looking, but their eyes were sharp and quick-witted.

The skeletal god looked at one of them and said, “You found out? Who’s ruining my plans?”

The monk immediately spoke up, “Reporting to my lord, we’ve inquired and heard that recently in the market, people have been asking if anyone needs a magic array set up. Those asking are either wandering spirits or ghosts, and they all live in the Black Sea region. Therefore, we believe that the person who modified the magic array for the Castle God is very likely this person. Judging from this person’s background, they are also very likely to live in the Black Sea.”

Hearing this, the Skeleton God nodded, then turned to look at another monk, who said, “Reporting to my lord, I’ve inquired and heard that someone recently came to live in the Black Sea. It’s said they offended someone outside and had to come here. This person seems to know how to set up magic arrays.” Upon hearing

this, the Skeleton God asked in a deep voice, “Is the information accurate?”

The monk immediately replied, “It should be accurate. It’s a monk living in the Black Sea…” “That’s what they said when asking if someone needed a magic array set up.”

The Skeleton God frowned and said, “People living in the Black Sea, that’s a bit difficult. They’re all planning not to leave anytime soon, so we really can’t do anything about them. Here’s what you do: go and inquire around, see if you can find this person’s contact information from someone else. If you can, just invite him here and tell him we need his help setting up a magic array.”

The two cultivators responded, then bowed to the Skeleton God and left the room. After the two left, the Skeleton God couldn’t help but sneer, “Interesting, they’re people living in the Black Sea. Looks like they just ascended. No, if they just ascended, how could they have offended anyone? Looks like someone with a story.”

Meanwhile, Zhao Hai had already returned to his area and was resting on the Green Leaf Boat. However, he hadn’t rested for long when he received a phone call.

Zhao Hai immediately answered the phone. As soon as the call connected, he heard the voice of a deity from their small alliance say, “A magic array! Big job! Someone wants you to set up a magic array for them.”

Zhao Hai’s interest was piqued, and he immediately asked, “Oh? Who is it?”

The person smiled and said, “It’s the Skeleton God. His divine kingdom is just a skeleton. Right now, his divine kingdom is in the market. This Skeleton God is no ordinary being; he’s a creator god-level deity.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai raised an eyebrow. He immediately thought of the skeleton he had seen at the Castle God’s place. That must be the Skeleton God, and it was one of his subordinates who helped the Castle God set up the magic array. Judging from the method of setting it up, the other party clearly wanted to deal with the Castle God. By helping the Castle God modify the magic array, he had essentially ruined the other party’s plans. And now, the other party was asking him to set up a magic array, which was clearly an attempt to eliminate him.

Upon thinking of this, Zhao Hai immediately said, “I can’t take this job.”

The man was taken aback, then asked, somewhat puzzled, “Why? Why not?”

Zhao Hai smiled wryly and recounted how he had helped the Castle God alter the magic array, how he had seen the Skeleton God’s divine kingdom, and how the Castle God had told him that he was a subordinate of the Skeleton God helping him set up the magic array. After finishing, he said with a wry smile, “The Skeleton God’s subordinates setting up the magic array for the Castle God was clearly trying to trick him.” “He might even be trying to deal with the castle god, but because I helped him change the magic array, his plan failed. He must hold a grudge against me. He’s a creator god, and he has people under his command who are proficient in magic arrays. Why would he ask me to help him set up a magic array? This is clearly an attempt to lure me into his divine kingdom, then take me outside the market to deal with me. If I go there, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back.”

Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, the man was greatly alarmed. He immediately said, “I see.” “If that’s really the case, then we really can’t go. It looks like this is a trap specifically designed for you.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Yes, that’s what I think too. This should be a trap specifically designed for me, so I absolutely can’t go. I’d rather not earn those spirit stones than go.”

The man nodded and said, “That’s true. Better safe than sorry. Alright, then I’ll ignore this matter. But I think you should be careful lately. Even if they really want to set up a magic array for someone, don’t leave the Black Sea easily, otherwise there will be real danger.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “That’s what I think too. I’m going to stay put for a while and not take on any work. Anyway, I just ascended, and I need to rest properly.”

The man nodded and said, “That’s right. Then you should inform the others later, so they don’t have to help you find work while they’re still out there.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll inform them later. It’s best to avoid trouble lately. I can’t risk my life.” (End of this chapter)
