Wang Dashao showed no embarrassment whatsoever about his awkward situation.
As Han Xiaozi continued to introduce the group of semi-transparent alien beast souls, Wang Zheng comforted the young girl beside him who was experiencing the dangers of society for the first time, while carefully observing the battle situation on the field.
To be fair, this so-called soul energy is quite appealing. Although it doesn't have the combat power of a grandmaster and its strength is much weaker than when it was alive, it has no weaknesses.
Each time it is defeated, it can quickly recover, and it cannot be completely killed unless the opponent's spiritual energy is exhausted.
This sticky, chewy texture makes it truly difficult to deal with.
Moreover, since this beast soul is named after the soul, it is naturally immune to all physical attacks. Upon closer comparison, it has a similar endless and exhausting aura to the Heavenly Demon.
Wang Zheng originally wanted to test whether his Yin-Yang Mystic Light would be effective.
Unfortunately, Linghu Yiyun and his group's formation had a special coordination, with their attacks and defenses following certain patterns. It was clear that they had been practicing together for a long time and were extremely in sync. Moreover, they seemed to enjoy some special bonuses.
Wang Zheng was afraid of affecting the other party's cooperation, so he had no choice but to endure it for the time being. Anyway, they were not far from the exit of the underground cave. The air was already filled with the moisture from the underground river. He would be coming back soon anyway, and he would have plenty of opportunities to test it after he rushed out.
The group fought their way back along the road they had come from. Although Bai Cang was no longer leading the way, many of them, like Wang Zheng, had already memorized the retreat route, so the situation was not too serious.
Just as they were about to leave the cave, several more imposing beast souls appeared on their retreat route.
As more and more energy gathered, the complex energy began to have a substantial impact on everyone.
According to Wang Zheng's speculation, judging from their aura alone, each of these newly arrived beast souls possesses at least innate-level combat power.
Although these prodigies are quite strong and have a synergistic effect, it is estimated that they will soon be unable to hold on.
After all, the paleness and fear on the faces of those teenagers were undeniable.
Sure enough, the beast souls, charging left and right, soon broke through everyone's formation.
Left with no other choice, Wang Zheng had to take action. However, the life-giving light passed right through the beast soul and could not cause any damage. The life-annihilating divine light was better, but its effect was still limited.
On the contrary, the candle flame, which had been used less and less, proved to be surprisingly effective.
It can only be said that this so-called soul energy is indeed different from the demonic energy of that demon. Moreover, the elemental attacks of Linghu Yiyun and the others were generally ineffective, but his own Candle Flame was very effective. Wang Zheng reasonably suspects that this is because there is a special energy in the Candle Flame.
Otherwise, with so many innate masters from blessed lands present, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state...
At this moment, Wang Zheng's most relied-upon methods were ineffective, and because he was underground, he dared not unleash any powerful area-of-effect destructive moves. Although he could protect himself with the help of Zhu Yan and also take care of the little girl beside him, he could not do any more.
As for the others, they were already in grave danger.
Seeing that this couldn't go on, Wang Zheng pulled Qin Yao behind him, then extended his left hand, which was wreathed in black flames, forward, spewing out endless black fire that refined the innate beast soul that tried to ambush her. Without turning his head, he asked:
"Junior Sister Qin Yao, do you still have those escape talismans? Being trapped here like this isn't a solution. If you can lead everyone out and contact the seniors, you might have the strength to fight again!"
Qin Yao was genuinely frightened now. The fist with the strange flames had just grazed her ear, and she could still feel the burning pain.
Seeing that the girl was confused and didn't answer, Wang Zheng frowned.
"Your senior brothers couldn't hold on any longer; they simply didn't have the ability to move everyone away!"
As expected of a prodigy from the Cave Heaven, Qin Yao quickly regained her senses after that loud roar, but could only silently shake her head when she heard Wang Zheng's request.
Even an ordinary escape talisman is quite rare. It takes a master of innate cultivation to carefully refine it for a long time, and even then, success is not guaranteed.
She has no ability to spread rumors like wildfire.
Moreover, even with such a precious treasure, it's impossible to do it as easily as Wang Zheng made it out to be.
This escape technique is completely different from other moves. Not only must you be able to determine the exact location of the landing point, but you must also be able to match the energy of the same attribute.
Right now, deep underground in this godforsaken place, besides earth escape, water escape is also an option, but the key problem is that we can't determine our location.
If someone were to plunge headfirst into the soil, or be teleported into a pile of innate beast souls, and eventually suffocate to death, that would be the most ridiculous thing imaginable.
This is precisely why the prodigies who had mastered the art of escape did not actively flee!
Being too proud to admit it is one factor, but the main reason is the fear of accidents due to unfamiliarity with the terrain.
As the situation grew increasingly dire, Young Master Wang's face turned ashen.
If it were just him alone, he would have rushed out long ago, covered in candle flames. Even if he didn't run, killing all these innate beast souls wouldn't be difficult for him; he could just unleash his ultimate attack to clear the area.
But if that were the case, it would be uncertain how many of these cave cultivators would survive. Moreover, Wang Zheng asked himself honestly, could he really leave them all here and retreat on his own?
How will we explain this when we get back? The younger generation of the grotto-heaven has been wiped out several times, so forget about future cultivation techniques and further exchanges.
Thinking of this, Wang Dashen sighed deeply and shouted towards Linghu Yiyun, who was still fighting hard and gathering his teammates in the distance:
"Senior Brother Linghu, we can't break through now. Let's turn back. If all else fails, we'll have to hide in that void passage. Although it's very likely that some unknown entity is behind all of this, if we don't make a decision soon, it might be too late!"
Linghu Yiyun knew that Wang Zheng made sense, and after thinking for a long time, he realized that there was really no good solution.
He then led his junior brothers and sisters into the depths of the cave. With Qin Yao in one hand, Young Master Wang leaped into the air through the closed passage, his movements sometimes fast and sometimes slow, like a ghost. He caught up with them in no time.
He then threw Qin Yao toward the crowd, and then waved his hands repeatedly, spewing out large amounts of black and red fire.
"Hahaha, this is my Blue Star territory. I'll cover the rear. Please, senior brothers, go ahead. I'll be there shortly!"
