As Wen Jiajia stared intently at the nameless knight with shining eyes, Yue Qi finally finished his preparations.
"Huh?! The weather has changed?!"
Su Su looked up and saw that lightning and thunder suddenly began to flash in the sky directly above them. More and more thunderclouds gradually gathered together, forming a dark cloud that seemed to be pressing down from above.
"Oh no, it's going to thunder!"
Even Sun Ning couldn't help but change color this time, "Where did these thunderclouds come from on such a sunny day?"
His gaze involuntarily fell upon the longsword that Yue Qi held high, while Yue Qi continued chanting incantations without stopping.
It seems that this person is actually a rare lightning ability user.
Sudden,
"Quickly, retreat!"
With Yan Che's shout, a blinding bolt of lightning struck from within the thunderclouds in the sky, heading straight for the center of the jungle.
Then came the second course, the third course...
With each strike of lightning, the vines seemed to suffer a great injury, involuntarily rolling around on the ground.
After more than a dozen bolts of lightning, the ground was covered with a dense mass of charred vines, and the air began to fill with the aroma of burnt flesh and blood.
"vomit--"
The thought of how many people these vines had eaten to produce such a meaty aroma finally made Su Su vomit.
The lightning continued to strike the sky, while in the jungle, the tumbling vines were becoming fewer and fewer. The ground was covered with layers upon layers of dead vines, and blood could be faintly seen flowing from the broken branches and leaves, making it an exceptionally horrifying sight.
"Holy crap! Such a small place, and it's hiding so many deadly things!"
Everyone felt a lingering sense of fear, as if they had survived a disaster, and they all turned their gazes toward Yue Qi at the front.
They dared not imagine that without Yue Qi, this place would likely be their final graveyard.
After a while, when the last vine stopped twisting, Yue Qi finally stopped.
"Clang—"
The longsword fell from the sky on its own, and Yue Qi instantly lost all strength and collapsed straight down.
However, his willpower was exceptionally strong; when he was on the verge of collapse, he stubbornly held on.
The nameless knight immediately helped him up. When he turned around, everyone could see that Yue Qi's face was as pale as paper, clearly showing signs of exhaustion.
"No, we can't stop! We have to go!"
Yan Che was about to go over and help him sit down to rest when the man turned around and urged them to hurry up and get on their way.
Your injury—
"It's nothing, I'm just exhausted. I have medicine to help me recover." Yue Qi took out a bottle of Golden Water from his pocket, poured it into his mouth, and instantly looked a little more energetic.
“These vines aren’t completely dead; they’re just stunned by my electric shock, so we have to get through here right away.”
After Yue Qi finished speaking, he took the lead and stepped into the vine forest.
The group followed quickly, barely daring to breathe, and finally managed to leave the place safely.
After some time, the foot of Cangyun Mountain came into view in the distance. Everyone's spirits instantly lifted.
"Quick, we're about to get out!"
Just then, the sound of children singing suddenly came from somewhere:
Sing a folk song to awaken the spirit of the cave.
Do you have a spirit or not?
A spirit will be with you.
Without spirits, they each turned back on their journeys.
In the quiet of the night, the children's singing sounded exceptionally clear, as if someone were gently singing into their ear.
Once, twice, three times...
Everyone continued walking, but the sound never stopped. Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore and burst into tears.
"No, I want to go home, Mom, save me—"
As expected, the one crying was the youngest, Su Su. Beside her, Wen Jiajia looked terribly pale, not much better off.
However, Miss Wen had a cheat device, so she secretly communicated with the system in her mind.
Do you know what that sound is?
"Master, it's just that someone doesn't want us to leave." The system's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved. "That person is too powerful. I can't force you to leave his instance."
"That person?" Wen Jiajia keenly grasped the key point. She looked down at the time on her wrist again. There were still fifteen minutes left. Today would be over soon.
The system's voice sounded even more aggrieved, "That person is in these mountains. If he doesn't agree, none of us will be able to get out."
This was the first time Wen Jiajia had ever seen an omnipotent system so afraid. Based on her past experience, the only things a system could be afraid of besides rules.
"You're not telling me this person can control the rules, are you? That's unbelievable!"
The system remained silent, almost acquiescing.
Wen Jiajia was completely dumbfounded. "Who is this person who can control the rules of the dungeon?"
The system sobbed twice, still terrified. "Master, the person I'm talking about is the most powerful being in the entire world of post-apocalyptic rule tales—a Gold-rank titled Mysterious Being."
"A strange title at the Gold Rank?" Wen Jiajia murmured to herself, her gaze involuntarily turning to Yue Qi. She remembered that this person's contract was also strange and nameless, and his title was also strange, though barely close to the Bronze Rank.
She was already so powerful at the mere Bronze rank; she wouldn't even dare to dream of the Gold rank.
"Master, you know this person too?" The system suddenly said something surprising, and Wen Jiajia lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Ouch—my back!" she yelled out, the little voice in her mind gritting its teeth.
"Tell me, who is it?!"
While she was communicating with the system, the main force had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. Not far from them, a red light shield quietly blocked their path.
Several men had taken turns testing it themselves and finally confirmed that the light barrier was indeed impenetrable.
Yue Qi thought of the red light shield he saw in the lake back then, which was exactly the same as it was now.
He remembered that Guo Hu had once gone in by chance, so he focused his attention on Guo Hu.
The three men surrounded Guo Hu and began to make him recall the details carefully.
"Tell me, how exactly did you get in there?"
Guo Hu was startled by this situation and waved his hands repeatedly, "Brothers, I really don't know!"
As he said this, his childish voice rang out once again:
Sing a folk song to awaken the spirit of the cave.
Do you have a spirit or not?
A spirit will be with you.
Without spirits, they each turned back on their journeys.
