Would they make it out alive?
Dwight’s voice drifted into Fane’s ears just when he was thinking about that. “How can you be so sure that the ancient array below the Cliff of Sorrow is a trap array and not a kill array? It’s not as if you can tell from the mist around us.”
Fane opened his eyes and looked around everywhere but him. “Actually I’m only seventy to eighty percent sure about it.”
“Then what do you base that seventy, eighty percent on?” Dwight was prepared to ask as many questions as he needed to get to the bottom of this and it annoyed Fane a little.
In truth, Fane was a hundred percent sure that the ancient array below the cliff was a trap array and not a kill array because he had come across this type of trap array before, albeit not with his own eyes. However, in the memory left by the predecessor, there was this kind of tray array. This kind of tray array has a characteristic where as time goes by, the energy inside will slowly escape and turn into a white mist clouding the surrounding area. These diffuse mists have the function of shielding perception and disorienting people and the white mist here basically has the same function too. For this reason alone, Fane was sure that the ancient array below the cliff was a trap array.
“If I’m not mistaken, this array is called the Ten Absolutes trap array. This array can trap a person's mind, body, and spirit. Even our divine senses would be useless against it. But what I really wanted to know is why would this array appear here…” said Fane breezily.
Dwight’s hair stood up when he thought about spending his last moments here. It was definitely a fate worse than death. He would rather be killed by somebody than wait day after day for death to claim him. Even just thinking about the despair terrified them.
“I can’t believe the two of you still have the mood to talk about all this under the circumstances we’re in. Aren’t you worried that the mist would not be able to shield us from them? That they’re on their way here as we speak?” asked Jed anxiously.
