Chapter 1227 Earth Fixing Array　　About six days had passed since the day Lin Mu discovered a possible large scale Chasm Beast tide that was about to come.

The Haima tribe had already stocked up on the supplies and the warriors had also increased the physical defenses as much as possible. 

~shua~

In his residence, Lin Mu finished drawing the last set of runes and stretched his arms.

”This should be enough… if not, I can probably use some of the extra items from the ring.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Storing the components in the ring, Lin Mu went out to meet Elder Niji. 

”I’ve gotten it ready.” Lin Mu spoke.

”Ah! You can start making the formation array then.” Elder Niji said anxiously.

The scouts on the outpost had already sent several reports of Chasm Beasts appearing in the distance. This only increased the possibility of the Large Scale Beast tide and had all but confirmed it now.

”Are all the preparations ready? Because once I set this up, getting out of it would be difficult.” Lin Mu asked.

The formation array Lin Mu was intending to make was called as the Earth Fixing Formation Array. 

It was a large scale defensive array and was rarely used in the Xiaofan world. The reason being that it restrained entrance and exit and also had some strict requirements to make. The main one being that the area where it is being deployed needed to be mostly free of all elements other than earth.

This was perfect for the Barren lands as the area was desolate and barely any plants grew here. Water was also not abundant around this time and there was obviously no source of natural fire here.

One could see why this was not used much in the Xiaofan world before. There were very few areas that fulfilled these condition making the array less useful. But now that very array was proving to be the best.

”The tribe is ready, noble Lin Mu. You can start as soon as possible.” Elder Niji confirmed.

”Alright, I’ll get to it then.” Lin Mu said before leaving the residence.

He went around the tribe, placing several components of the array. The components varied from simple formation flags to complicated restriction plates. Lin Mu planted them according to the shape of the tribe’s territory and also carved several runes into the wall, connecting them.

The Haima tribe members were very curious about what Lin Mu was doing. They knew that it was something being made to protect them, but it was a new thing for them to witness. The children followed after Lin Mu, watching him work and even the adults came to do the same from time to time.

Lin Mu drawing mystical runes was magical to the Haima tribe people and they wondered how it was all done.

The whole process took about two days, even though Lin Mu worked non-stop. But once it was done, the array needed little to be activated.

~HONG~

Everyone in the tribe heard a strange buzzing sound coming from everywhere. They could hear it coming from the walls, the floor, and even the ceiling of the tribe. 

~RUMBLE~

Then the entire ground shook, as if a quake was imminent. This terrified the tribe members and they started shouting, but the guards calmed them down quickly. They had already been informed that some unusual things might be happening and that they would be safe.

Lin Mu on the other hand, stood on top of the outpost along with Elder Niji and Head Warrior Kulo.

”This is… stunning…” Elder Niji and Head Warrior Kulo were stunned.

All around them, a brown colored energy swirled and flowed. This covered a vast tract of area and seemed to be coming from the very earth upon which they stood. The brown energy moved and condensed around the borders of the Haima tribe.

~HUALA~

The streaks of energy turned solid, turning into walls. At first, it looked like the Haima tribe had gained a boundary wall on the surface. But then this wall started to rise and curve.

”Align!” Lin Mu continuously drew runes in the air, controlling the array and guiding its formation.

The walls continued to rise and soon started to bend in a certain direction. Minute after minute passed as Elder Niji and Head Warrior Kulo watched the wall grow tall. After five minutes, the wall was already tall enough to compete against the hills!

Ten minutes later, it was twice as tall as the hills!

”Merge!” It was at this time that Lin Mu sent the final command through runes.

~SHUA~ 

The tops of the walls that had turned as tall as a small mountain, came together, joining at a central point. Now if anyone looked at it from the outside, they would think that it was a normal mountain.

~phew~

”There we go…” Lin Mu let out a breath of relief.

The whole process hat taken a lot of spirit Qi to complete. After all, Lin Mu was doing this alone when the array was supposed to be set up in a large group. If it were not for his large spirit Qi stores, he might have initiated the starting process, but he wouldn’t be able to guide it to properly cover the entire tribe.

Even now, his spirit Qi stores barely stood at 20%.

”You made an entire mountain?!” Elder Niji was stunned.

He knew that there was going to be a defensive layer around the tribe, but an entire mountain was not something he had guessed at all. 

”It looks like a mountain, but it will be tougher than the normal rocks around the area. And it’s not just on the surface, the underground area of the tribe has also been reinforced.

Now if any Chasm Beasts breach the underground, they would be detected by the array and killed by it. The entire area around the tribe is now a spike trap.” Lin Mu said, much to their shock.

The Haima Tribe members below were also wondering why the walls had turned darker in color.
