The players' efforts that Yan Hui was referring to were the pathetic scene in which Lu Xiaoyao and her companions were being beaten and screaming by a group of insectoid evil spirits.

To survive, Lu Xiaoyao was truly fighting for her life!

She was almost vomiting from being beaten by the insectoids. After exhausting her spiritual energy, she didn't even have time to absorb the spirit stones. A string of large insects followed behind her, and her dodging movements were far from perfect.

In addition, the terrain here is not flat, and Lu Xiaoyao, who runs and dodges on the ground, is prone to falling. With her agile (and strong) skills, she rolls around to avoid all attacks even when she falls.

So, Lu Xiaoyao vividly demonstrated to Yan Hui and the others what it meant to crawl around on the ground in a sorry state _(：3」∠)_

Mingyi remained extremely silent upon seeing this.

"Hey hey hey! Hey, someone move this aside! I just need to absorb some spirit stones!!"

Lu Xiaoyao shouted twice at the top of the cave, then rolled around on the ground.

The place they had tracked was a giant underground cave outside the city, and the environment inside was very complex.

Even though Julian had made preparations beforehand, luring and killing a bunch of evil spirits before entering, they still didn't expect that there were a bunch of them hiding inside who hadn't come out.

Compared to these, those killed earlier seem like cannon fodder.

But the evil spirits that fight alongside them are the real troublemakers.

"I've attracted it, but it won't come! It has a brain, it's not brainless!" a player shouted to remind Lu Xiaoyao, "It can understand human speech! If you shout, it'll know you can't handle it, and it'll chase after you!"

Lu Xiaoyao: 0.0!!

She had completely forgotten that although the evil spirits here looked like insectoids, they were not like lower-level insectoids that only had strength but no intelligence!

The evil spirits here are truly intelligent!

"Hey! Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Before Lu Xiaoyao could even catch her breath, she hurriedly continued to dodge the attacks from behind. She was truly on the verge of tears!

"Lu Xiaoyao!"

Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao was truly unable to hold on, Julian rushed over to her aid. A streak of light flashed past, catching her and lifting her onto his flying sword in an instant. Lu Xiaoyao only heard a sharp ripping sound from her robes.

"My clothes!"

Lu Xiaoyao subconsciously reached out to touch it, only to find that the back of her clothes had been torn open by the evil spirit earlier.

"What happened to the defensive capabilities?!" Lu Xiaoyao stared wide-eyed, touching her torn clothes in disbelief. "Wasn't it supposed to withstand attacks from several Foundation Establishment cultivators?!"

Lu Xiaoyao suddenly felt like making a complaint call.

This is consumer fraud!

“The defensive runes engraved on your robe… should be for defending against magic.” Julian immediately understood what Lu Xiaoyao was talking about. “To put it simply, your clothes have high magic defense, but poor physical resistance.”

Lu Xiaoyao: ? ? ?

Is that so?

There are actually two types?

Before Lu Xiaoyao could think any further, Julian turned around and started fighting again. Lu Xiaoyao quickly used pills and spirit stones to recover behind him and threw herself into the next round of battle.

After fighting for half a day, some players seemed to realize that something was wrong.

"How come this thing keeps coming in endlessly?"

Zhen Pofei was at the very top of the cave, using his expertise to begin a thorough re-inspection of the entire site.

Just as Julian and his group had checked, this place was only so big, with no extra space, but the number of these emerging evil spirits was far more than that.

"Is there no other space here?"

Some players wondered if there was another place in this cave. After several rounds of battle between the array and runes, this place was also blown up a lot, but it was clear that there was no other larger space connected to this place to house these evil spirits!

"There!"

This time, Lu Xiaoyao, who had previously exhausted her spiritual energy and "crawled" several times on the cave floor, noticed the difference.

"There's a teleportation array on the ground!" Lu Xiaoyao recalled a place she had accidentally passed by on the ground with beautiful patterns and what looked like inscriptions.

"So, this isn't actually their lair; they got here via a teleportation array and then started operating?"

They haven't had enough time to cultivate immortality, so their thinking is a bit out of sync, and they've forgotten about teleportation arrays that are like wormholes.

Huh!

For a moment, everyone's expression turned rather grim.

"How about we destroy the teleportation array first?" someone suggested, unable to bear the endless insect-like evil spirits that seemed impossible to eradicate.

"No, the teleportation array might be on the other side of the real base camp. How will we get there if it's destroyed?"

"What? You're going to go over there? You can't even handle what people are doing here, are you trying to get yourself killed if you go over there too?"

Some players are now regretting that they weren't prepared enough.

They originally thought this was just a small outpost of a branch, but it turns out this small outpost seems to be connected to another place they have no idea about, and it keeps sending a bunch of evil spirits here.

That's terrifying!

"Destroy it first, at worst... we can find someone who knows formations to find out what's going on." Julian made a quick decision. They hadn't even figured out what was going on yet, and if players were to be killed inside, it would be a huge loss.

...

Bu Tianmen.

The next day at the same time, Mei Jiu and Ming Mei arrived at the Scripture Pavilion again. Unexpectedly, this time it was Ming Mei who spoke first: "Yesterday... the story you told was very interesting. We must reveal the answer today."

As she spoke, Mingmei smiled and looked at the other person, as if she really remembered what happened yesterday.
