Chapter 139: Golden pupils blazing with blood break through the black fog, the ghost general's severed head suppresses the underworld
"Sir! There are so many black lines on the ground ahead. Your feet will rot if you step on them!"
"Be careful! There's an ugly one-eyed monster hiding in that big locust tree!"
"Roof! Someone is spitting black saliva on the roof!"
With Ajiu's constant warnings, the commando team safely avoided one deadly trap and ambush after another.
But even so, the dark energy around them became increasingly dense, almost turning into a sticky black mist, which continuously eroded everyone's minds and physical strength.
"Ajiu!" Xiao Yu said in a deep voice.
"Um!"
Ah Jiu immediately understood. She took a deep breath, and that sacred and warm power burst out from her small body again!
“Buzz!”
The golden halo spread out in all directions with her as the center.
Wherever the aperture passed, the sticky black fog quickly melted away like snow in the sun. The surrounding mutant monsters, infected by the demonic energy and about to pounce, also roared in pain and retreated repeatedly.
The golden light opened up a precious and absolutely safe area for the team advancing in the darkness.
"Now! Full speed ahead!" Xiao Yu ordered.
The team's speed increased again!
However, Ah Jiu's face grew increasingly pale. Every time she activated her bloodline power, it consumed her immensely. Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her small body began to tremble slightly.
Xiao Yu could clearly feel the weakness of the little person beside him. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand, but he knew he couldn't stop now.
They have no time left.
"Ahead! Through the bamboo forest is the back garden where we found the well that year!" Chu Xuanyi's voice came with a hint of urgency.
However, when they rushed into the bamboo forest, dozens of dark shadows had been waiting there for a long time.
The leader was the black-clothed leader under Prince Yu and several Wugut priests with cold auras.
"Your Highness, the Regent, Master Imperial Master, we have been waiting for you for a long time." The leader of the men in black licked his lips, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty excitement, "This is where you will be buried!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Xiao Yu gently pushed Ajiu to the side of one of the strongest Xuanjia Guards around him and said in a deep voice, "Protect her!"
After saying that, he picked up his knife and went forward, his whole body turning into a black lightning, heading straight for the leader of the men in black!
Chu Xuanyi also took action at the same time. With a flick of his whisk, countless starlights condensed into runes and attacked the Wugut priests who were preparing to cast spells.
At the same time, on the other side of Prince Yu’s Mansion.
Censor Qian was sticking his butt out and, after great effort, finally pried open the bolt of the remote corner door.
"Hehe, God helps me!"
He was delighted and took a look inside. He saw that there was an abandoned woodshed. It seemed there was no danger, so he slipped in.
But as soon as he stepped in, the door closed automatically with a "bang"!
"Ouch!"
Censor Qian was startled and turned around to push the door, but it seemed to be grown onto the wall and could not be opened.
In the woodshed, the light suddenly dimmed.
The surrounding scenery began to distort and change. The firewood piled up turned into piles of bones; the water tank in the corner was filled with bright red blood.
“Ghost…Ghost!”
Censor Qian was so frightened that his soul was about to be shattered that he uttered a scream and turned to run. But no matter how he ran, it seemed as if he was going in circles, and the gloomy and terrifying scene was always around him.
He was trapped in a small illusion formation.
"Help! Your Highness, help! A ghost is trying to catch me!" Censor Qian cried and shouted, running around like a headless fly.
In a panic, he slipped, his fat body lost balance, and crashed hard into a stone table in the corner that looked like an altar.
“Bang—!”
On the stone table, a clay pot filled with black liquid was knocked over by him and shattered to the ground.
At the moment the clay pot shattered, the entire illusion shook violently, making a slight sound like breaking glass.
The scene before Censor Qian's eyes turned back to that ordinary woodshed.
He didn't know that what he had just smashed was one of the core nodes that maintained dozens of small defensive sorceries in this area.
"Huh? No... not scary anymore?" He was stunned for a moment, wiping the cold sweat from his face, still not figuring out the situation.
"It must be my great authority and integrity that scared the little devil away! Yes, that must be it!" Censor Qian immediately found a perfect explanation for himself and instantly regained his confidence.
He straightened his chest, adjusted his crooked official hat, and swaggered open the door of the woodshed to continue his journey of "catching ghosts and seeking credit."
On the other side, Chu Xuanyi, who was fighting with the Wugut priest, suddenly let out a light "Huh".
"Your Highness!" He waved his whisk, forcing a priest to retreat, and sent a voice message to Xiao Yu, "Strange! A sorcery center in the southeast corner of the palace suddenly collapsed! The pressure on us has been reduced a bit!"
Xiao Yu forced the leader of the men in black back with a single blow of his sword, and he also felt that the invisible suppressing force around him seemed to have weakened a bit.
Although I don’t know what happened, this is undoubtedly a good thing!
"Quick victory!"
The murderous intent in his eyes grew stronger, and his attack became more fierce!
Ah Jiu raised his little hand and pointed to a corner covered by rocks deep in the bamboo forest. He said in a weak voice, "There...there are their roots...dig them up..."
After she finished speaking, she could no longer hold on, her head tilted and she passed out.
"Ajiu!"
Hearing the exclamation of Xuanjiawei, Xiao Yu's heart tightened. He looked back and was relieved to see that she was just exhausted and unconscious.
Without any hesitation, he immediately shouted to Chu Xuanyi: "Xuanyi! Cover me!"
The next second, his body suddenly grew in size, and he took a heavy blow from the leader of the men in black. He used the force to fly backwards and landed right in the corner that Ajiu pointed at!
"Open for this king!"
He gathered all his strength into one sword and chopped it hard at the rocks!
“Boom—boom—!”
The earth cracked and rocks flew everywhere!
A core array hidden underground, composed of countless bones and runes, which was transmitting the power of the underworld to the entire bamboo forest battlefield, was exposed before their eyes!
And this is the real entrance to the underground secret room!
“BOOM!!!!”
With Xiao Yu's earth-shattering blow, the rocks and soil were blown away by the huge force, and a deep, dark cave, as if leading to the Nine Nether Hell, suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The cave entrance was built of massive, dark blue stone slabs, their surface covered in damp moss and specks of blood. A dark aura, ten times richer than that in the bamboo forest, mixed with the stench of earth and decaying corpses, surged from the cave entrance like a tangible wave!
The first few Black Armor Guards who were hit were instantly pushed back by this breath. Their faces turned blue and they felt like the blood in their bodies was frozen.
"Form a formation! Keep your mind focused!" Chu Xuanyi shouted sternly. He swung the whisk in his hand, and a soft starlight fell, turning into a barrier that barely blocked the impact of the evil aura.
