As the guard began to pray, Lu Ban distinctly heard some kind of murmuring from a foreign domain rising within the warehouse.
However, these voices, though annoying, did not cause any headache or confusion in Lu Ban's mind.
Compared to the murmuring he had heard before in "The Wisdom of the Fool," these were child's play.
"Could it be that my resistance is too high?"
Lu Ban thought to himself.
If one were to start from this point, then the evil deity represented by the divine idol the guard worshipped didn't seem so dangerous.
Above the blood-like array, a green smoke began to spread.
This smoke, as if it had its own will, crept towards the warehouse's water and food supplies.
Even Lu Ban could imagine, if these were contaminated by the smoke, then the food and water were bound to become problematic.
In the midst of a long voyage, if logistical support were compromised, then despair and chaos would surely follow.
