Mo Yu and his party walked for another three days, climbed over a high mountain, and the terrain gradually became lower. They came to a basin. Perhaps because of the ocean currents and monsoons, the temperature here was much warmer than the places they had visited before.
In some places there was not even any snow, and grass and even some small flowers grew on the exposed land.
Gawain pointed to a crack in the canyon ahead and said, "After passing through this Sword Canyon, you will reach the Sword Tower, which is where I grew up."
"Sword Canyon? There must be something special about it, right?" Gallo asked.
Gao Wen said: "Of course. There are many swords used by secret swordsmen in this canyon. They are connected to a large formation in the canyon and have the ability to defend themselves. They can kill wild beasts that stray into here or enemies that want to invade us.
But maybe we are good at hiding, and no real enemy has ever come here over the years. But over the past few thousand years, there are more and more swords."
"It seems quite powerful." Gallo said.
Mo Yu could already see the shapes of those swords at this time. They were crisscrossed and covered the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon. In some densely packed places, it even made people feel that the canyon walls were covered with "grass".
When everyone entered the canyon, the swords began to stir. They trembled slightly, as if they sensed their arrival.
"They don't seem to like me very much?" Mo Yu asked.
Gao Wen said: "Because your power is too strong, and the attribute of power does not belong to the secret sword flow. But I have a badge on me that can prove my identity. Don't worry, we can just pass it quickly."
Mo Yu snorted and said, "They are provoking me."
"These are just some swords driven by a formation."
"I understand swords. I know what their trembling means. They are very resistant and exclusive. They are really rude. With these guys in your sword tower, it's hard for even guests to enter."
"Let's go." Gao Wen's brows also frowned. The level of the badge on him was not enough to allow him to lead the saint into this canyon. He grabbed Mo Yu, who was walking slowly, and wanted to rush over.
But Mo Yu shook his hand away and said, "What a waste."
"What a waste! Let's go." Gao Wen said anxiously
"These swords, of course."
This was the first time Gawain had heard such an evaluation. Of course, all the previous evaluations came from his fellow disciples, and most of them said things like, "too spectacular" and "too great." Only the girl in front of him used the word "waste" when evaluating the Sword Canyon.
Mo Yu didn't seem to sense the other party's anxiety. She walked into the canyon while looking at Xie Xie's long and short swords, pointing and saying: "Do you have abundant resources in the Sword Tower? No one uses these swords after they are used. Let them stick here and slowly rust, and show off your power and intimidate others?"
"Because there are still many new swords left over from that era in the sword library of the Sword Tower. Many people just want to use their own swords, and the secret swordsmen always hope that the swords that they establish a connection with have not been interfered with by others. Who dares to show off with you?" Gawain said, but he also realized that those swords were becoming more and more unfriendly, and even the sound of their shaking was becoming louder and louder.
"But I remember you said that the swords of those saints and masters were all kept, and many people were vying to inherit them," said Mo Yu.
"That's different. Everyone hopes to inherit the will of the strong and become as strong as them." Gao Wen explained again.
"So it doesn't matter actually, right? It's just that you people despise the swords of the weak and admire the swords of the strong." Mo Yu concluded.
"That's true, but the Sword Tower does have enough swords for us to use," said Gawain.
"That's a waste." Mo Yu made a ruthless judgment. "Think about it, if we use them to equip soldiers, how many soldiers can be armed? Even if we remelt them, these materials can be used to refine many new magic props."
Gao Wen didn't know how the other party's thoughts changed. He said with a bitter face: "I really have never thought about this problem. Anyway, the swords of the deceased secret swordsmen over the past thousands of years will mostly be stuck on this cliff. And don't underestimate their attack capabilities. Let's leave quickly."
"Waste is not good. I think I should help you learn how to recycle waste." Mo Yu said.
She still walked forward step by step, but with every step, her aura increased a little, and a trace of madness emanated from her body and entangled around her.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Gawain shouted, "Even if I'm here, if you unleash too much energy, the formation will counterattack!"
Mo Yu looked back and said, "Then it's a good opportunity to see it for yourself."
Sure enough, when she took seven or eight steps, the large formation in the Sword Canyon was alarmed. Strands of silver-white light emerged from the mountain wall, forming a formation covering the entire canyon. The swords also began to tremble, as if they were about to fly out of the stone wall and attack Mo Yu at any time.
Gao Wen hurriedly took out the identification badge from his arms and raised it into the air, hoping that the swords would not be stimulated by Mo Yu.
However, the signal from the badge could not cover the energy fluctuations emitted by Mo Yu, and the formation was still activated step by step.
With a clang, the first sword broke away from the mountain wall and flew into the air as if someone was holding it, with the tip of the sword pointing at Mo Yu. Then, one sword after another flew into the air under the control of the formation.
Gawain had to draw his own sword. His sword was very similar to the ones flying in the sky, except that he only had one, while there were thousands of them in the sky. Gawain raised his hand and his secret sword also floated into the air. This sword was wrapped in silver light and was much more powerful than those swords without people controlling it. He shouted to the other two: "Damn it! Get ready for battle. After all, we have two saints and two masters, so we should be able to rush through."
Gallo did not draw his sword, but moved closer to Bella. He said, "Why do I feel that the boss is full of confidence, and you can definitely handle these things? Let's put up a shield and leave the battle to the two saints."
Bella said nothing, but released a divine shield as she was told, covering both her and Gallo.
Gao Wen sighed in his heart, one troublemaker and two bystanders. This was definitely not the first time he encountered such a situation.
It is said that their team is the most powerful mercenary group in the northern part of the empire, but as the one who has to clean up the mess every time, only he knows the pain in his heart. (To be continued)
