Chapter 2071
Jackie exhaled softly and simply replied, “Fish-scale pattern.”

Despite the simplicity in Jackie’s response, Nash instantly knew what Jackie meant. Jackie was observing how true energy dispersed to search for the array eye. In a stable space, true energy would disperse like rippling water. However, the true energy would disappear with a fish-scale pattern where the array eye was. There was a large difference between both, and they would be able to identify the array eye if they were able to observe carefully.

Nash could not help but lament when he thought of this. “We have the great master for being captured in the Ten Absolutes trap array to thank.”

Jackie also nodded, similarly lamenting as well.” Nonetheless, this Ten Absolutes trap array is considered one of the ancient arrays, and it’s a puzzle as to how this appeared in a third-grade world. I wonder what had transpired that made someone plan a Ten Absolutes trap array here.”

As he spoke, Jackie continuously swung his fists in the air, though the sight of him looked downright ridiculous from a distance. The father-and-son duo spoke softly between themselves for some time.

Jed and the others heard nothing, however. They initially thought that Nash would persuade his son to cease his ridiculous antics, but it surprised them that Nash would only nod at Jackie in their conversation instead. Jed found it hilarious the more he looked at them, having no idea what they were up to.

In fact, he had already given up. After all, they should just wait for their deaths in silence as they would never be able to leave this place alive.

“I’m lucky that I’m still sane. Junior Brother Dwight, if I turn like Jackie and start punching the air, please kill me swiftly. I don’t want to turn into an idiot like him.” Dwight sighed softly. He ignored Jed and stood up from the ground as he walked toward where Jackie was, calling out loudly to him, “What are you doing? Are you planning to find a way to resolve this array by punching the air?”

As he spoke, however, he found himself stepping onto broken bones, and the sound of bones cracking caused Dwight’s heart to sink lower. He subconsciously looked down and was stunned by what he saw. “Senior Brother Jed, come over quickly!” he called out loudly. “Take a look at the clothes he has on him!”

Jed immediately struggled up from the ground as he was called. He looked toward the direction Dwight pointed at and spotted a skeleton with clothes that looked much like theirs. However, the clothes this skeleton had on seemed much more delicate and high -quality compared to theirs.

A few bamboo leaves were sewn on the clothes Jed had on him, and he had nothing else apart from a jade ring pinned on his belt. However, this skeleton had on clothes where bamboo leaves were sewn on most of the areas. On top of that, he also had five bamboo leaves sewn on his belt.

Dwight’s eyes widened as his hand raised to cover his mouth slightly. He could barely register the sight.” Could this be Elder Gardner?!”

Elder Gardner was a formal elder of the Thousand Leaves Pavilion and was once an all-powerful person in the sect. However, Elder Gardner disappeared for unknown reasons after he arrived at Mount Beasts 100 years ago. At that time, the upper management of the sect sent people to search for him, but Elder Gardner seemed to have disappeared into thin air without leaving a trace.

This event fizzled out eventually. Who would have expected that Elder Gardner had fallen down the Cliff of Sorrow and met his demise in this area.

The two of them inhaled simultaneously, and their expressions mellowed down at the sight. Elder Gardner was an impressively strong person, and it was possible that he was the strongest elder among all the other formal elders. Even he ended his life here, let alone small fries like them.

Chapter 2072
Dwight initially posed his question to Jackie with a mindsight that Jackie had the method to resolve the trap array, but all hopes had left him at this point. What did it matter that Jackie had studied many books when a formidable individual like Elder Gardner had perished in this place? Did Elder Gardner study fewer books and had lesser knowledge compared to Jackie?

Although Jed was a simple-minded person, he realized that Dwight asked the question because he felt that Jackie was searching for ways to resolve the trap array.

Jed smiled bitterly, apathetically, “Are you still placing your hopes on him? You think too highly of him, you know. No matter what, he’s only in the initial stage of innate level. How can he find the method to resolve this array when his fighting prowess is lower than ours? Let’s just silently wait here for our deaths.”

Dwight exhaled deeply. “Don’t be so discouraged. Although what you said makes sense, I still think we should give everything a try.”

Jed, however, felt like Dwight’s pep talk was hilarious. “Try everything, you say? How should we try everything? Should we also punch into the air like a crazy man?!”

Just then, they heard Jackie exclaim, “I found it!”

The two of them immediately raised their heads and looked over. Jackie looked as if he discovered something incredibly priceless in the way his eyes shone brightly, and he even turned to look at his father and pointed excitedly to a direction in the air. Jed and Dwight had no idea what he was so excited about, but Nash seemed to have understood why Jackie was so excited.
