Chapter 976 Bite My Butt

She walked forward cautiously, the sound of dead branches breaking under her feet being particularly harsh in the dead silent forest.

Suddenly, she paused and moved her ears slightly - there was a slight friction sound coming from the front, like some creature crawling.

Luo Li narrowed her eyes and slowly approached.

"rustle--"

A black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind the tree and rushed straight towards Luo Li!

She dodged to the side, and the sword flashed like lightning, instantly cutting the black shadow in half.

“Pah.”

A black centipede half the size of a human fell to the ground, and its body quickly turned into black mist and dissipated.

"Dark Centipede?" Luo Li frowned. "The monsters in this Netherworld aren't very strong, but why are they all so disgusting..."

Before he finished speaking, the shadows of the surrounding trees suddenly twisted, and countless pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness.

“Hiss—”

Dense swarms of dark centipedes emerged from the treetops, the ground, and even the air, rushing towards her like a tide!

"Tsk, it never ends!" Luo Li's eyes turned cold, and he pinched his fingers together and shouted, "Bright Realm—Open!"

Brilliant golden light erupted with her as the center, instantly dispelling the darkness. The centipedes let out sharp hisses in the light and turned into black mist and dissipated.

However, Luo Li's face turned slightly pale.

"No, this will consume too much energy..." She gritted her teeth, retracted her domain, and quickly flew into the depths of the forest.

We must find an exit as soon as possible!

…

At the same time, in another place in the second level of the Netherworld.

Shen Fuzhou was hugging a tree, shivering.

"What the hell is this place! Are they targeting me?! Why am I unable to use my powers once I enter this crappy place?"

He looked at the wriggling black vines under his feet with tears in his eyes. The vines seemed to have life and were slowly wrapping around his ankles.

"Don't, don't come over!" He hurriedly took out a talisman and threw it out.

"boom!"

The array talisman exploded, and several vines were broken, but more vines seemed to be enraged and rushed towards him frantically!

"Oh my god, ahhhh——!" Shen Fuzhou screamed and turned around and ran.

However, just after he took two steps, his feet suddenly felt empty and he fell into a deep pit with a plop.

"Ouch!" He rubbed his sore butt, looked down, and suddenly froze.

Deeper at the bottom of the pit, a pair of scarlet eyes were staring at him coldly.

“…”

Shen Fuzhou: “…excuse me.”

He turned around and tried to climb up, but the pit wall was slippery and he couldn't climb up at all.

Behind him, the dark shadow was slowly approaching...

“Help—!!!”

Not far away, Luo Li heard a cry for help, her eyes moved, it was Shen Fuzhou.

She no longer hesitated and flew away immediately.

…

On the other side, Wen Xingyan stood in a swamp deep in a dense forest, with ghostly green fires floating around him.

He looked calm, and the sword in his hand shone with a cold light.

"Come out." He said lightly.

"Hehe..." A strange laugh came from all directions, and twisted human figures slowly emerged from the swamp.

Those figures had no facial features, only a mouth split to the ears, which was emitting a creepy laugh.

"Trialist...stay with us..."

It seems to be someone who died in the previous Ninth Level Trial...

Realizing this, Wen Xingyan's eyes turned cold, and he swept the sword across. The sharp sword energy instantly cut the nearest figure in half!

However, the severed figure turned into black mist and then condensed again.

"It's useless... We can't be killed..."

Wen Xingyan narrowed his eyes, suddenly put away his sword, formed seals with his hands, and shouted in a low voice: "Frost - Seal!"

The law of ice burst out from his palm, instantly freezing the entire swamp!

The figures were frozen in ice, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

Wen Xingyan didn't stop and turned to leave.

He knew that this was only a temporary suppression and he had to find the entrance to the third level as soon as possible!

Wen Xingyan's figure moved quickly through the dark forest, and the frost under his feet spread, freezing the dark creatures that tried to approach.

His eyes were calm and sharp, as if they could penetrate the dark fog.

Suddenly, a violent energy fluctuation came from a distance, accompanied by Shen Fuzhou's pig-killing howl: "Luo Li! Help! This thing is biting my butt!"

Wen Xingyan frowned slightly, and his figure flashed as he rushed towards the source of the sound.

When he arrived, the scene before him made his mouth twitch - Shen Fuzhou was hanging on the tree by the trunk, his buttocks were bitten tightly by a half-human-high magic wolf, and he was struggling desperately by kicking his legs.

Luo Li stood under the tree, the long sword in her hand shining coldly, confronting a three-meter-tall Netherworld Dark Wolf.

"Wen Xingyan! Come and help! My butt is about to be bitten off!" When Shen Fuzhou saw him, he felt like he saw a savior, and tears were about to burst out.

Wen Xingyan sighed, and an ice blade condensed from his fingertips, instantly cutting off the leg of the demon wolf that was biting Shen Fuzhou.

The demon wolf howled and fell into a deep pit.

Shen Fuzhou also lost his strength and let go of his hand. He fell to the ground with a "thump", holding his butt and wailing: "Ouch, my butt..."

Luo Li's dual domains came out in anger, directly cutting off the head of the emperor-level monster in front of her.

She put away her sword, took the time to glance at him, and said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you to hide up there? How did you get caught again?"

Shen Fuzhou was aggrieved: "How could I know this demon wolf could jump so high!"

Wen Xingyan's mouth twitched, and he said calmly, "You can guess it. It's your power that's been sealed, not the monster's."

Shen Fuzhou wanted to cry but had no tears: "Well, I just took the pill that Luo Li gave me, and my strength hasn't recovered yet, so I can't dodge at all."

Luo Li shook her head: "Stop talking nonsense, this monster didn't drop the clearance token, let's leave here first, the wolves are coming."

Sure enough, there was a dense "rustling" sound coming from the surrounding treetops, and countless scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness.

The three of them looked at each other and rushed towards the depths of the forest in tacit understanding.

After running for some distance, they finally got rid of the wolves.

Shen Fuzhou slumped on the ground, gasping for breath: "I can't do it anymore... I'll die if I run any further..."

Wen Xingyan was helpless, "You are a little too weak."

"Blame me?!" Shen Fuzhou stood up suddenly. "Who knows why this Netherworld Realm Breaker only targeted me. If it weren't for Luo Li's elixir, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to use any soul power at all."

On the side, Luo Li looked around, and a ray of golden light condensed from her fingertips, illuminating the dark forest.

She whispered, "Something's wrong here. It's too quiet, not even the sound of the wind."

Wen Xingyan nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on a distorted tree shadow in front of him. "The space is fluctuating. This might be the entrance to the third level."

When Shen Fuzhou heard this, he immediately jumped up from the ground: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Wen Xingyan pressed his forehead and said, "We don't have a pass token, so it's useless even if we find the entrance."
