"Chu Feng, did you memorize all of the map's contents?"
After the map completely disappeared, the Queen finally spoke up.
The reason she had waited until now to ask was that she feared asking earlier would have distracted Chu Feng.
"I memorized it all, Eggy. Don't worry, I've got every detail," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Then do you think it's real?"
"Can we really find the tomb of the Arrow Dao Venerable with that map?" the Queen asked.
She actually hoped the map was genuine. After all, the Arrow Dao Venerable was a Venerable-level existence. His tomb should contain quite a few treasures. If Chu Feng could find it, he would certainly reap a considerable harvest.
"I can't be certain, but I want to give it a try," Chu Feng said.
He truly couldn't be certain, as this was only a game. However, it was indeed an opportunity, which was why Chu Feng wanted to try.
"Then do you want to kill yourself now and end this game?" the Queen asked with a grin.
"That would be way too boring. I still want to challenge the Soul-Devouring Beast," Chu Feng said.
"Challenge the Soul-Devouring Beast? How would you even do that? Don't tell me you're going to go find it?" the Queen asked.
"Finding it would be too troublesome. Why not just summon it directly?" Chu Feng said.
"Summon it? How would you summon it?" the Queen asked.
"My dear Eggy, take a closer look at this stone table."
The stone table Chu Feng referred to was the one that had held the three boxes. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that it actually bore inscriptions and special runes on its surface.
Once Chu Feng moved the three boxes aside, the inscriptions and runes were fully revealed before his eyes.
It turned out to be a spell for summoning the Soul-Devouring Beast. As long as one recited this spell, the Soul-Devouring Beast would be summoned to a specific location. All one had to do was follow the path between the two cliffs straight to the end, and that would be the spot where the Soul-Devouring Beast would appear.
"Nice one, Chu Feng. I didn't expect you to have such sharp eyes — you even noticed that," the Queen couldn't help but praise him. She had been so focused on looking at the contents of the boxes that she hadn't noticed the stone table also bore inscriptions.
"This spell is actually rather complex. Let me study it carefully."
As he spoke, Chu Feng examined the runes with great attention.
Unlike the techniques of formation arts, spells had to be recited in a single breath. However, Chu Feng did not recognize these runes. He would need to rely on his experience with formation arts to figure out how to read them. Only once he had fully mastered them could he successfully summon the Soul-Devouring Beast.
…
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Chu Feng, while he was studying those runes, almost all of the survivors had gathered in one place.
It was a valley, surrounded on all sides by great mountains, with a small path between every pair of mountains. All of these people had arrived here by following those paths.
