just as bai wushang and the others passed through a certain room, a full ten minutes passed.

in the silent space, the sound of dust falling suddenly rang out. it was extremely soft.

there was a narrow crack on the dilapidated and desolate wall that was fifty to sixty meters high.

it was only thirty to forty centimeters wide and a meter long.

a half-transparent shadow sneaked out of it and floated in the air.

it had a humanoid body, and in terms of size, it was about the size of a teenage girl.

she was wearing a beautiful light blue princess dress with complicated patterns and was as light as a butterfly.

her exposed arms and legs were as white and smooth as lotus roots, especially her small feet, which were pink and smooth, as clean as a baby’s.

but …

his gaze moved up and landed on that face.

all the good things disappeared.

that face looked like it had been cut by a sharp weapon, and it was a bloody mess.

a pair of pupil-less eyes protruded out unnaturally, reflecting a color paler than white snow. they were lifeless, revealing endless emptiness and eeriness.

it was a vengeful spirit.

without a sound.

another petite woman in black tights quietly crawled out of the crack.

she had a physical body, not a spirit or a monster.

however, she was able to attach herself firmly to the wall with just her hands and feet.

when it crawled quickly, it was as agile as a lizard, making almost no sound.

he pinched the communication talisman in his palm and infused a wisp of soul power into it. he lowered his voice to the lowest,

” boss, you’re right. there’s something wrong outside the door. there’s an intruder … ”

” … i can’t for now. they’re very strong. i don’t dare to get close, so i can only pull them as far away as possible … ”

“okay, i understand. i’ll cooperate with you …”

the communication was cut off, and the vengeful spirit followed the woman in black and disappeared from the dark corner.

……

“don’t you guys feel that there’s something wrong here?”

an xiaorou pursed her lips and asked softly.

bai wushang gently nodded.

it had been half an hour since he entered the crystal beetle.

surrounded by their pets, the five of them moved toward the area with the most white goo.

however, there was an unusual situation.

this place was too quiet!

it was so quiet that they could only hear the breathing of their own people and the strange sounds of their pets moving.

this was not normal.

there were some scattered footprints and claw marks.

the traces were new, and it definitely belonged to wild dog and his gang.

” crazy, let your big ghost scout ahead. be careful, there might be traps. ” xue zilin whispered.

“yes.” jiang feng immediately made the arrangements.

in the battle just now, will-o-wisp was slightly injured, but it was not a big problem.

it couldn’t recover through the little rabbit’s moon healing spell, so it only sprayed a special mist potion.

however, spirit-type creatures had high physical damage immunity.

even if it wasn’t a real assassin, it was extremely effective as an excellent scouting beast.

as they shuttled back and forth, the team’s formation was scattered but not chaotic, and it was orderly.

xue zilin and sobina, one in the front and one at the back, were walking on foot, placing themselves in two relatively dangerous positions.

the rest of the people moved closer to the center.

an xiaorou rode on the back of the deerhorn wind horse, while jiang feng and bai wushang rode on the snow lion. this increased their mobility.

the skeleton apes, three-eyed demon apes, black swamp crocodiles, and poison arrow frogs surrounded the two sides, each approaching their master to ensure that they could react in time.

as for the strongest, the giant golden condor and the dreadclaw bear.

the former was barely able to fly, but not every area had enough space.

most of the time, he could only walk on his paws and follow behind the crowd.

the strongest dreadclaw bear stood at the front of the team, second only to will-o-wisp. it was the team’s pillar, vanguard, and guardian.

suddenly.

the deerhorn wind foal was restless.

with an unprecedented attitude, it roared madly!

“boom boom boom …”

there was a series of explosions, from the top of his head to the walls on both sides. everything was collapsing.

“be careful!” jiang feng shouted in surprise.

an xiaorou immediately activated the protective barrier in her staff.

this was an energy-consuming group defense relic. it was expensive to make, and it was very likely to be close to 50000 gold coins. ordinary people could not afford it.

when it was brand new, the staff would last for 15 minutes, and it could resist the attack of a normal peak-level mature form.

after these few days of adventuring, more than half of the energy had been consumed, and the remaining activation time was about seven minutes.

a five-meter dome-shaped protective shield spread out with an xiaorou as the center.

however, this range could only barely protect xue zilin and sobina, who had faster reactions and were not bound by any force.

the snow lion on the left was too big and couldn’t enter.

no one panicked.

this situation had been planned in advance.

jiang feng had the earth wall and bai wushang had the fire armor. they were both activated in the shortest time possible.

the giant golden condor had even given up on protecting its master and prioritized the safety of the two of them.

it spread its wings, which were shaped like two metal shields, and violently fanned away the falling stones, reducing the pressure on the snow lion to the greatest extent.

dreadclaw bears, skeleton apes, blackmarsh crocodiles, and three-eyed demonic apes were all using their own methods to protect their party members.

at this moment.

the ground near the snow lion exploded with a loud bang, and a black shadow pounced out.

bai wushang could only see a pair of scarlet pupils, revealing a cruel and brutal look.

in the next moment, the other party crossed the distance of more than thirty meters and closed in on him.

it wasn’t very fast, but because it was too close, it appeared without warning.

even the monster ape, which was two meters away, could only take half a step and couldn’t complete all the movements.

only the giant golden condor, who was the closest and more powerful, quickly lifted its wings and blocked bai wushang and jiang feng.

“boom!”

what made their blood run cold was that the indestructible golden eagle feather had a big hole in it.

the black shadow paused for a moment, then jumped in the air, forcibly passing through the broken wings and pounced again.

but …

with the giant golden eagle as a shield, bai wushang’s eyes and hands were quick, and he had already jumped down from the snow lion’s back.

the effect of tempering his body crazily in the recent stages was still very obvious.

if it was in the past, he wouldn’t have been able to dodge so quickly and in time.

in fact, bai wushang’s instinctive jump was even faster than jiang feng’s.

ah zhou’s large hand arrived shortly after. he grabbed his collar and pulled away from him, disregarding his image.

another black beast palm that could be seen with the naked eye, but with an aura that could split the heavens, came crashing down.

this attack was originally aimed at bai wushang and jiang feng.

however, both of them jumped off the lion’s back, and the black shadow did not hit the target it was supposed to aim at.

hence, the ferocious palm strike missed by 80 to 90 percent.

the black shadow roared and forcefully changed its angle. it poured the remaining small portion of its power onto the blue and white lion.

” roar!!!! ”

the snow lion’s miserable shrieks could be heard. it was heart-wrenching.

in half a breath’s time, the scream turned from strong to pitiful, as if it had suffered unimaginable pain.

bai wushang looked over, his hair standing on end, and a chill ran down his spine.

with such a casual move, the lower half of the snow lion’s body caved in, and its two hind legs were broken. it could not get up at all.

blood gushed out.

jiang feng’s face was red and his neck was red. he let out a wild roar like a beast. he was so emotional that he couldn’t control himself.

“lion!”

fortunately, he took a closer look and saw that the snow lion was in a terrible state and had lost all its fighting strength.

however, his breath was not cut off, and he was still alive.

“retrieve the snow lion, leave this guy to me!”

xue zilin took a step out of the protective barrier, two fingers of both hands together, pressing on his temple.

two blinding rays of light, mixed with a faint cold glint, shot out from the bottom of his eyes.

secret skill, ray of stun!
