"Enough with the nonsense, it's so noisy!" Ming Zhuo expressionlessly sheathed his peach wood sword, perfectly embodying the phrase "ruthless and taciturn."

Gu Xu snapped out of her daze and said, "Thank you."

They were now far from the cave entrance where they had come down, right by the underground river.

Amidst the rushing water, an unusual commotion arose from the riverbed.

Gu Xu thought of the inhuman monsters that had pounced on and tore at "Luo Zhi" in the illusion just now, and subconsciously pulled Ming Zhuo back a few steps.

Behind them, a dark mass of ghostly figures was closing in.

Their intention was clear: they wanted to drive them into the river, but they were also hesitant to approach the riverbank...

It seemed that what was in the dark river was more dangerous and terrifying than evil spirits.

With a splash, a monster suddenly leaped out of the water and lunged at Mingzhuo.

Mingzhuo possessed extraordinary senses and immediately noticed the creature's mouthful of sharp teeth. He knew that its bite force must be astonishing, and if he were to be hit by one, he would probably lose a piece of flesh immediately.

She kicked the thing back into the water, but more monsters rushed over.

Mingzhuo lit an exorcism talisman, and the firelight illuminated the faces of those things. They had the bodies and limbs of wild beasts, but human faces, and their features could even make human expressions.

It was especially eerie under the firelight.

Mingzhuo gripped Gu Xu's hand tightly, thinking to herself, "Luckily I brought the air purifier, otherwise these ugly things would really hurt my eyes."

She threw the peach wood sword, and the blade of the sword seemed to grow longer invisibly, quickly darting back and forth across the dark river several times.
