"It seems we really wronged you. How did this fortune teller end up in this desolate wilderness with you?" the hyena asked, pointing at the very thin man.
"After watching this blogger's video, I felt that this place was very eerie, so I went to find a shaman on the street, just for psychological comfort," the bearded man said.
"Hmm, that sounds perfect, but I'm sorry, I don't believe any of what you're saying. You're still hoping for the best, aren't you? Fine! You want to see a ghost? I can show you right away!" The hyena finished speaking and pressed one hand on the bearded man's head!
"Bang!" A muffled thud! The bearded man's head exploded like a grenade had been thrown at him! Red and white matter splattered everywhere! The entire interrogation room was covered in brain matter and bits of flesh...
"Ah..."! The crowd stared at the headless corpse on the ground and let out a series of blood-curdling screams. They never expected that this young man would kill his boss so easily! There was no hesitation whatsoever, and not a single one of the many police officers outside came in to check.
"What... what's going on? How did I become like this?" The bearded man felt himself floating lightly in the air, and was momentarily confused. How did he suddenly become so light?
"Hehe, didn't you want to see a ghost? Now you are the ghost!" After saying that, the hyena grabbed the bearded man's soul in its hand and said with a smile.
"A ghost? You mean I'm dead? How is that possible?" The bearded man asked somewhat carelessly. He only remembered that the energetic young man pressed his head down with his hand, and then he felt a sharp pain, after which he knew nothing more.
“You are already dead. I killed you. Your body is over there!” the hyena said, pointing very considerately to the headless corpse on the ground.
"What the hell! You really killed me? And blew my head off?" The bearded man was no longer calm; he was extremely agitated and bared his teeth, trying to scratch the hyena's face.
“I gave you a chance, and you wanted to die, so I had no choice but to grant your wish. Now I’ll give you one more chance. Tell me, what is the purpose of your visit here, and who sent you? If you don’t tell the truth this time, I’ll make sure you can’t even become a ghost!” the hyena said.
"Go to hell with this chance! I'm a ghost now, what can you do to me? I can kill you in a minute!" the bearded man said arrogantly.
"Then how did you get caught by me? Be honest and tell me, and I might give you a quick death!" the hyena said, looking at the bearded soul.
"Pah! Just put on whatever show you want! If I even flinch or utter a sound, I'm your grandson!" the bearded man said defiantly.
Those hiding in the corner felt extreme panic as they watched the murderer seemingly clutching something in his hand and talking to it.
"Fine, as you wish. I hope your body is as hard as your mouth!" As the hyena finished speaking, a flame suddenly shot up from its other hand!
"You... what are you going to do?" The bearded man looked at the flame on the young man's fingertips and sensed danger in his soul, stammering as he asked.
"Didn't you want me to arrange some entertainment for you? I'm doing it now. Just enjoy yourself." The hyena then slowly pierced the flame on its fingertip into the heart of the bearded man's soul!
"Ah...whoosh!" Before the bearded man could even scream, his entire soul was ignited by the flames. Except for his head, which was not burned, his whole body was engulfed in flames!
"I...I'll tell you...I'll tell you everything you want to know, please put out this fire, I can't take it anymore!" The bearded man howled and begged desperately.
The hyena remained unmoved, merely watching coldly as the bearded man, whose beard had been slowly turned transparent by its flames, watched with a sly smile.
"We are members of the Huangtian Gang. We discovered the legendary Yellow Springs Hell in the Dragon Xia Kingdom and wanted to explore it. However, the life inside was truly terrifying. More than half of our members died after entering, and they were also infected with something very strange. After returning, these people would die inexplicably or become extremely insane, attacking those around them and then mutilating themselves to death."
"We received orders from our Huangtian Gang to come here and lure these things out of the Yellow Springs Hell, so they can cause trouble in Longxia Kingdom and we can reap the benefits..." The bearded man rattled off a whole bunch of things, but just as he was about to explain himself, he slowly became transparent, then faded, and then that was it...
"Do you know about the Huangtian Gang?" the hyena asked, turning to look at Bai Xiaochun.
“I know, the leader of this Huangtian Gang is an old acquaintance of ours!” Bai Xiaochun looked solemn, feeling that things were getting more and more complicated. He simply did not believe that this person would do such a thing to Longxia Kingdom.
"Oh? Someone we know? We don't know many people here. Looks like some people are looking to cause you trouble!" the hyena said.
“I feel he probably won’t target our Dragon Xia Kingdom, because he…”
"Because his hometown and roots are here? Bai Xiaochun, you're so old, do you still believe in feelings? Besides, this kid has big ambitions. I know why you exiled them to America back then."
They both understand this very well, but what you don't know is that once some people have a certain level of power, their ambitions will grow bigger and bigger, and they will want more and more things!
Do you think that if you let someone off the hook, they'll be eternally grateful and treat you like royalty? That they'll remember your past kindness and show leniency towards the Dragon Xia Kingdom or those around you? That's just wishful thinking on your part.
"Maybe every time they think of you, they'll remember the humiliation they suffered in the past. Maybe when they feel the time is right, they'll come back and 'repay' you properly!" the hyena said.
"Sigh... things have come to this, let's deal with the immediate problem first! We can talk about the future later!" Bai Xiaochun looked dejected. He hadn't expected that someone he trusted would cause trouble in Longxia Kingdom, and he felt terrible.
"Now that things are clear, what should we do with these people?" Bai Xiaochun asked, looking at the remaining Huangtian Gang members.
"Either kill these people, or keep them as stepping stones, make use of their waste!" the hyena said calmly.
The sky was overcast! The group arrived at this desolate mountain, a place uninhabited and overgrown with withered grass nearly two meters tall!
Looking at the dense, two-meter-tall wormwood around her, Ru Huan realized how dangerous this place was when she had looked at this barren mountain from a distance earlier!
The group arrived at the foot of this desolate mountain. It was called a mountain, but it was actually just a large mound of earth a dozen meters high. Bai Xiaochun had already placed the area under strict security, prohibiting anything from going in or coming out!
Ru Huan and her group stood in front of the stone door that had been blasted open by the bearded men of the Huangtian Gang with explosives. A chilling wind blew out from the depths of the stone door, making people feel as if their very souls were about to freeze!
"Shan Lang and the others have been inside for so long and haven't come out yet. It must be extremely dangerous inside. I've invited you here, so you don't need to do anything else but rescue Shan Lang and the others from inside!" Bai Xiaochun said.
“We don’t know what’s going on inside, so I can’t say we’ll bring those people back to you. I can only say that if we can completely resolve this issue once we go in, we’ll take care of it. Everything else is a minor matter. Besides, they’ve been inside for several days already. They might have already been killed by the creatures inside without us even knowing. So don’t interfere with what we do after we go in. Otherwise, you know our personality!” Ru Huan turned to look at Bai Xiaochun and said.
"Yes, I know, but it's just so pitiful for Shan Lang, sigh..." Bai Xiaochun sighed, her heart heavy.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." The group had already ventured deep into the stone gate. The eerie wind inside howled and howled like ghosts wailing. The Huangtian Gang members walking in front were terrified, each carrying a flashlight and waving it around wildly as they cautiously made their way forward.
Behind them were Hyena and Lixia, riding lynxes, protecting their master in the middle, and then Bai Xiaochun and his special operations team members.
"Hiss...! It's so cold!" Whether it was the Huangtian Gang members in front or the special operations team members behind, everyone felt that it was extremely cold here!
It wasn't the kind of cold that makes your hands and feet stiff like in winter, but rather a feeling that your entire body, even your bones, were being soaked in cold water, and that your soul was about to freeze!
With a "thump," a member of the special operations team suddenly collapsed to the ground, his entire body turning bluish-purple. He was still trembling and soon died...
"A bunch of trash. If you don't want to, don't force yourself. Go back to being your princes! Coming here to die? Isn't it better to be in your own mansion, eating sea cucumbers, drinking wine, and cuddling your mistresses? Why do you have to come here to die?" The hyena mocked the members of the special operations team behind him without any politeness.
As soon as the hyena finished speaking, several more members of the special operations team fell down, and the rest dared not go any further. Bai Xiaochun looked at the trembling members of the special operations team behind him, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping water!
“Team leader, we joined the special operations team only to protect Longxia Kingdom from being invaded by other superhumans. I know the country treats us very well, but no matter how good it is to us, it shouldn't let us risk our lives here, right? We all have families, wives and children. My strength is too weak to compare with you great gods. Please let us go back!”
“Yes, we don’t know what’s ahead. Maybe Shan Lang and the others are already dead inside. If we go in, we’ll only be making a pointless sacrifice. I suggest we go back. As long as we guard the stone gate outside, we’ll be fine.”
"Team Leader Bai, we really can't go any further. We've already lost several brothers. You can't possibly bury all the members of the special operations teams from Longxia Kingdom here, can you?"
The people behind him started talking one after another, and Bai Xiaochun's face became even more unpleasant. However, looking at his companions who were shivering in the cold wind, he felt a little sorry for them.
"Heh heh, with Yin Qi entering their bodies, even if these people don't die when they go back, they'll be badly injured! Get lost! Whether you survive after you get out depends on your own fate and your ancestors' blessings!" Li Xia said with a sneer.
The special operations team members quickly evacuated the area with their dead comrades, leaving only the Huangtian Gang members who were leading the way, Ru Huan, and Bai Xiaochun.
"A bunch of brats are no match for an old man with half a cigarette in his hand," the hyena said, looking at Bai Xiaochun. Ru Huan glanced at the people who had already gone far away and curled her lip.
As Ru Huan sat on the lynx's back, she looked around at the surroundings. The passage was nearly ten meters wide and was paved entirely with black stones.
Aside from the howling wind, the only other sound was the footsteps of the group. The hyena was about two meters away from the Huangtian Gang members in front of it, while Ru Huan was only one meter away from the hyena. Behind them were Li Xia and Bai Xiaochun.
No one spoke; they simply walked forward with their heads down. The sound of the eerie wind grew louder and louder, as if countless evil spirits were roaring in their ears…
"Thump..." A sound of something falling to the ground came from ahead, and then all the Huangtian Gang members in front stopped.
"What's going on up ahead? Don't you want to live anymore?" The hyena cursed as it rode the lynx to the pile of boulders ahead.
"There are people ahead!" A member of the Huangtian Gang said tremblingly. They were at the front and were exposed to the most eerie winds, but only one of these people had died here, which meant that these people were quite powerful and much stronger than Bai Xiaochun's special operations team members.
"Humans?" The hyena was also taken aback, then rode the lynx to the front of these people. Under the beams of their flashlights, there seemed to be a dozen or so people standing not far from them.
"You two, go check on these people, see if they're dead or alive!" Hyena said, looking at the two members of the Huangtian Gang beside him.
The two people whose names were called paused, looked at their companions, and then exchanged glances, but no one took a step forward.
"Not going? Fine, then you can just die here!" After saying that, the hyena prepared to kill the two Huangtian Gang members who had disobeyed his orders.
"Let's go!" the two Huangtian Gang members said through gritted teeth. They were powerless against the circumstances; they were prisoners and could only be used as stepping stones to test the waters.
Two members of the Huangtian Gang were seen cautiously standing in a row, blocking the passageway of more than a dozen people.
Two members of the Huangtian Gang slowly approached the group blocking their way. Both were drenched in cold sweat, praying that none of them would harm them while cursing the female relatives of the Hyena family...
"Hmm," the hyena frowned as it watched two members of the Huangtian Gang pass through the bodies of these people, still acting cautiously and as if walking on thin ice. Something felt off.
"Brother, we've been walking for so long, why haven't we reached these people yet?"
"Yeah, I feel like something's not right! Should we turn back?"
"What's the point of going back? To become cannon fodder for those people? If you ask me, we should just run away!"
"It's so dangerous here, I think it's better to stick together. Just the two of us are outnumbered and it doesn't seem very reliable, brother!"
"I'm going to die anyway, so I'm going to risk it all. If you don't want to come with me, fine, I'm running away first." After saying that, the man ran off without looking back.
The remaining person saw that his companion had already run away, so he could only follow and run forward, hoping with a glimmer of hope that his choice was right...
"You two go check again, tie yourselves up properly. If you're attacked, I'll pull you back immediately!" The hyena said, looking at the two Huangtian Gang members beside him. The two Huangtian Gang members might have already escaped, so this time, to prevent them from escaping, the hyena had them tied up with ropes, ostensibly for their safety.
The two Huangtian Gang members reluctantly tied the rope around their waists and then walked towards the row of people in front of them...
The hyena watched as the two men walked right up to the group of people, then passed right through them, just like the two men from before. It felt as if these people were just shadows or projections, not real at all.
The hyena hurriedly pulled the two ropes in its hands toward itself, only to find that both ropes had been bitten through by something! Only two broken ropes remained, and the two Huangtian Gang members had vanished again!
"Hehe, this is interesting!" The hyena sneered, and suddenly its whole body burst into flames! Those who had been shivering from the cold wind suddenly felt a wave of heat wash over them, and their stiff bodies felt a surge of warmth.
A raging inferno instantly engulfed the passageway ahead! Everywhere was ablaze with flames! The chilling, eerie wind was transformed into warm gusts by the flames!
An extremely strong yin wind tried to extinguish the sudden flames, intending to blow them all back onto the hyenas and make them burn themselves. But no matter how the yin wind blew, the flames spread like wildfire towards the deepest part of the passage!
A very strange sound echoed in the passage, a sound that even the well-informed Bai Xiaochun couldn't identify as the voice of any creature.
"Uncle, save me! I don't want to die, I'm going to be burned to death by these flames, please save me!"
"Team leader, stop burning! It's me, Xiao Liu! If you keep burning us, we'll be burned to death! Ah... I feel so bad..."
"Team Leader Bai, stop burning! We're not dead yet, we just found a place to hide. You're about to burn us to death, please stop!"
"Ah... I'm on fire, Uncle, save me... Ah... I don't want to die yet..."
Countless voices came from the deepest part of the passage, some from Shan Lang, some from members of the special operations team, all of whom Bai Xiaochun knew.
"Ru Huan... could you..." Bai Xiaochun was both surprised and delighted when she heard the cries for help from ahead. She hadn't expected that Shan Lang and the others were still alive. She quickly tried to tell Ru Huan to order the hyenas to stop setting fires, otherwise Shan Lang and the others would really be burned to death by the hyenas' flames.
"Are you serious?" Li Xia turned to look at Bai Xiaochun and asked.
“I…” Bai Xiaochun hesitated to answer. Ru Huan and her two spirit slaves were all unpredictable people. If she accidentally angered them, it would be a question whether she could go back.
“Hehe, Lixia, don’t make things difficult for them. Team Leader Bai is just worried and confused. Come here, Team Leader Bai, come here, let me show you your nephews and subordinates,” Hyena said with a smile.
Bai Xiaochun glanced at Ru Huan, but seeing that Ru Huan didn't give any hints, he could only bite the bullet and walk to the hyena's side, then look at the raging flames in front of him.
"Look at these things, which one is your nephew, and which one is your subordinate?" the hyena asked, pointing to the creatures still struggling in the flames ahead.
Bai Xiaochun looked in the direction the hyena pointed and saw countless bat-like creatures struggling violently inside the raging flames, occasionally emitting various human-like sounds...
Cold sweat streamed down Bai Xiaochun's face. If it were him, he might have been bewitched by these creatures and wouldn't even know how he died!
“These creatures are called Phantom Bat Rats. They live between the mortal realm and the underworld. The appearance of things like us means that the underworld really does exist!” Li Xia murmured to herself.
"How do you know all this?" the hyena asked, turning its head with some curiosity.
"Have you forgotten what I used to do? Besides doing research, I liked to collect these strange books in my spare time as a pastime. I never thought these places actually existed in this world. Could it be that the things in the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas' and 'In Search of the Supernatural' written by our ancestors are all true?" Li Xia was curious and excited. If all the creatures recorded in these books existed in this world, tsk tsk tsk...
"Whoosh..." A phantom bat rat, its entire body ablaze and gliding with the help of the eerie wind and flames, suddenly rushed in front of the hyenas and their companions. It stretched out its extremely sharp claws and reached out to grab them. Its blood-red eyes stared intently at the group, as if it wanted nothing more than to kill and devour them all!
With a loud "bang," the phantom bat, as large as a round table, exploded right in front of the hyena! It was like a dazzling firework!
The fragments of the Phantom Bat's body exploded and flew everywhere. Fortunately, everyone was standing next to the hyena, which was kept out of the way by the fragments of the Phantom Bat's body that it had blown up with a single finger.
Many members of the Huangtian Gang were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their legs trembling, and they were almost paralyzed on the ground. Bai Xiaochun was no better off.
"You think coming to these places is like being in the human world, relying on your superhuman abilities, being slightly stronger than ordinary people, and thinking you're the greatest of all beings? You think you can command the wind and rain and run rampant without restraint? In our eyes, you're as naive as three-year-olds playing house! Now I'm telling you, in places like this, if you want to survive, you have to be willing to risk your life!" the hyena said.
Countless phantom bats swarmed towards the group, wanting to perish together with these creatures that set themselves on fire. However, the hyena stood at the forefront, like an insurmountable barrier. Before the phantom bats even reached the group, they all exploded like fireworks...
“Team Leader Bai, Shan Lang and his companions are probably doomed. The Phantom Bats are best at making people hallucinate without them even realizing it, and then these beasts will eat them. Please accept my condolences!” Li Xia said.
"I know, but I need to see him alive or dead, or I won't be at peace!" Bai Xiaochun said with great determination.
"Still want to see the corpse? It's already become the excrement of these things! What more do you want to see? I advise you to hurry back and report the death! Otherwise, you'll end up in the Yellow Springs Hell with us, and that'll be the one reporting the death to you!" the hyena mocked with a laugh.
“I know I’m just an ant in your eyes, an ordinary person, and I know you look down on us, but I, Bai Xiaochun, am not a coward! I believe that wherever you can go, I can go too!” Bai Xiaochun said, looking at the hyena with some annoyance.
"Oh, oh, oh... are you angry? You ordinary people are all weak and playful, not very strong but with high aspirations. Then come here and take a walk in the fire. If you can withstand my flames, I will apologize to you and admit my mistake!" the hyena said with a nonchalant expression.
“Okay! It’s a deal!” Bai Xiaochun said to the hyena with a serious expression.
"Then come here!" The hyena beckoned to Bai Xiaochun.
Bai Xiaochun gritted his teeth and braved the scorching heat to reach the hyena. The fierce flames were terrifying, and no one had the courage to take a single step in. But Bai Xiaochun still took his first step and walked into the flames...
Bai Xiaochun was still several meters away from the flames when white smoke began to rise from her body! Bai Xiaochun persisted, determined not to let Ru Huan and the others look down on her; she had her dignity too!
"You're so old, yet you still act like a child, so serious. Is it so hard to admit your shortcomings?" Ru Huan said coldly, looking at Bai Xiaochun beside her.
"I..." Bai Xiaochun looked ashamed. He had always been used to being high and mighty, and everyone who saw him was extremely respectful to him. Even the leaders of Longxia Kingdom were very polite to him. He never expected that following Ru Huan and the others would make him so pathetic and despised.
"Here, there's none of the social niceties and considerations of you officials, no weighing of pros and cons, and none of the backstabbing and checks and balances you see in officialdom. Here, it's all about one thing: life and death are nothing to fear, and if you're not convinced, then fight! Where do all those fancy, impractical things come from? Like those phantom bats, try showing them some social niceties? See if they'll let you off the hook just because you're Team Leader Bai, and then surrender on their own," Li Xia said.
"Go back! It's not too late to go back now. Once you cross this passage, there will be no turning back!" the hyena advised.
"No! I've lived to a ripe old age, and I always think things through carefully, always hesitant and afraid of offending anyone. Now I'm going to go crazy! I, Bai Xiaochun, was young once too, and my blood was once boiling. I'm going to go with you to this so-called Yellow Springs Hell to see if there really are Black and White Impermanence, demons and monsters..." Bai Xiaochun said excitedly.
"You? I'm afraid you won't even make it out of this passage. Your blood will be sucked dry by the creatures inside, your flesh will be eaten by them, and maybe not even a bone fragment will be left!" The hyena sneered.
"I'll just eat the spirit herbs and burst my body to take them all down with me!" Bai Xiaochun roared, his eyes wide.
When the members of the Huangtian Gang heard that Bai Xiaochun had spiritual herbs on him, their eyes lit up. They had heard that the cosmetics produced by the Langcheng agency were diluted with spiritual herbs. They never expected that Bai Xiaochun would dare to carry spiritual herbs on his person. Wasn't he afraid of being killed and robbed?
"What's the use of acting rashly? Come here, I'll give you a hand!" Ru Huan said, then called Bai Xiaochun over.
Bai Xiaochun looked at Ru Huan with great trepidation, unsure of Ru Huan's intention in calling him over, but he had no choice but to go.
"Don't worry, I won't harm you. If you didn't look like an old friend of mine, I wouldn't care whether you live or die!" Ru Huan said coldly.
"Oh..." Bai Xiaochun was a little curious about how Ru Huan's old friend could look exactly like him. Just as he was pondering this, Ru Huan suddenly pointed a finger at his forehead!
With a "boom," Bai Xiaochun felt his head explode. A very cool and refreshing energy spread from his head to his limbs and bones, making him feel light and airy all over. This feeling was simply wonderful.
Seeing Bai Xiaochun's blissful, ecstatic expression, Ru Huan's lips curled into a slight smile, and she began to accelerate the transformation of Bai Xiaochun's body.
Bai Xiaochun's initial blissful state gradually turned into pain. The gentle, flowing Qi that had been like a spring breeze suddenly became extremely violent.
Bai Xiaochun looked pained, feeling like a red-hot iron block being relentlessly hammered by countless iron hammers. His limbs, bones, and meridians were being severely transformed and tempered by this pure energy, making his body extremely strong from the inside out...
"Alright!" Ru Huan withdrew her finger and said coldly.
Ru Huan had only been modifying his body for a quarter of an hour, but Bai Xiaochun felt as if he had gone through hundreds of epochs. He almost couldn't make it and was almost truly beaten to a pulp by Ru Huan.
Bai Xiaochun felt extremely parched, like a barren wasteland longing for rain.
Bai Xiaochun shakily pulled out a few spiritual herbs from his pocket. These were obtained by his nephew Shan Lang and himself from Yang Jifeng. He usually only took them out to smell their aroma and satisfy his cravings, but now he was showing off the spiritual herbs one bite at a time.
The spiritual herbs began to rapidly nourish Bai Xiaochun's body. Now, Bai Xiaochun's body was like a dried-up pond, needing countless drops of clean water to be poured in.
The members of the Huangtian Gang watched as the old man pulled out countless spiritual herbs from his pockets and stuffed them into his mouth as if they were free. Their throats churned uncontrollably. If it weren't for Ru Huan and the others being there, the members of the Huangtian Gang might have swarmed him, torn Bai Xiaochun to pieces, and then taken his spiritual herbs for themselves!
Bai Xiaochun was still not satisfied, but he had already used up all the spiritual herbs on his body, and felt that he was still somewhat unsatisfied. However, he was in a state that was many times stronger than before. If there was an elephant here, he might be able to take it down!
"Here, this should be enough!" Ru Huan took out a very transparent bead, about the size of a little finger joint, from the cloth bag slung across her body and handed it to Bai Xiaochun.
Bai Xiaochun watched with great gratitude as Ru Huan accepted the bead, and then eagerly put it into her mouth. Immediately afterward, Bai Xiaochun's eyes widened, and she felt as if the bead was an air pump, and her body was about to burst from the pure energy!
"Do you want to die? Hurry up and guide this pure energy to circulate!" Ru Huan cursed directly.
"Oh!" Bai Xiaochun seemed to wake up from a dream, and hurriedly began to guide the violent pure qi in his body to enter his heart and circulate to his limbs and bones, and the eight extraordinary meridians...
The members of the Huangtian Gang were extremely envious of this scene, but they could only watch helplessly as they witnessed this formidable man named Ruhuan quickly create a peerless master!
The members of the Huangtian Gang looked at Ruhuan with great admiration. They were amazed that this girl, who looked like the girl next door, was actually a terrifyingly powerful expert! They wanted to say to each other, "Do I look like another old friend of yours..."
"That should be about right!" As soon as the hyena finished speaking, the flames in the entire passage suddenly went out, and the gusts of cold wind, no longer suppressed by the flames, raged even more fiercely than before!
However, the cold wind blowing now is not as biting and chilling as before, because the passage was burned by the hyena's flames and the temperature was extremely hot. This cold and chilling wind just lowered the temperature, which is just right!
The members of the Huangtian Gang led the way, with the hyenas following behind. Bai Xiaochun was now bursting with confidence, walking alongside the two, glancing around every now and then, hoping that some evil spirit would jump out from the corner so he could practice his skills...
A group of people walked through the nearly ten-meter-wide passage. The flashlights in the hands of the Huangtian Gang members had all run out of power and had been abandoned in the passage.
"But where did this hair come from?" A member of the Huangtian Gang in front asked, looking at the thing he had casually grabbed in his hand with some confusion.
"What? Let me see!" Bai Xiaochun exclaimed excitedly. It seemed there was some extraordinary creature ahead, and his time to show off his skills had come!
"It seems this passage is nearing its end! Be careful, everyone back off. Hyena and I will go ahead, and Bai Xiaochun and the rest will cover the rear!" Li Xia said seriously, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"What? Are there some ferocious beasts or evil spirits ahead? Or maybe the King of Hell or the judge of the underworld? Why are you all so nervous?" Bai Xiaochun said dismissively.
"It seems Team Leader Bai isn't afraid of the dark, eerie winds of this Yellow Springs Hell at all. Then you go first, and we'll assist you from behind. The Huangtian Gang members will follow behind. Don't leave our area. If you want to die, then pretend I didn't say anything!" Li Xia said with a smile.
The group quickly changed formation, with Bai Xiaochun leading the way, Li Xia and Hyena on either side, Ru Huan in the center, and the remaining five members of the Huangtian Gang at the back...
"What can a mere black-haired yin wind do to me? Watch me!" Bai Xiaochun said confidently, then strode forward. Li Xia and the hyena exchanged a smile and followed behind him.
A cold wind, carrying dense black hairs that looked like steel needles, shot towards the group! Bai Xiaochun directly shook off all the black hairs, creating a safe passage for the people behind...
The eerie wind behind them grew stronger and stronger! Bai Xiaochun, who was walking in front, was so blown around by the wind that he could hardly move his feet. The wind was also mixed with dense black hairs that were impossible to guard against. Bai Xiaochun tried very hard to stand firm and shake off the black hairs, but it was as if he was standing in front of an iron wall. He couldn't move an inch, let alone resist the steel needle-like black hairs...
"Team Leader Bai, keep it up! We believe in you!" Hyena shouted from behind Bai Xiaochun.
Bai Xiaochun was now in a state of unspeakable bitterness. He had already tried his best, but he simply couldn't take another step forward. Hearing the hyenas behind him cheering him on, he could only manage a bitter smile, forced to admit defeat.
"I...I can't hold on much longer! You two...who can step up and hold on for a while?" Bai Xiaochun gave up immediately. He wasn't as arrogant as before. He finally realized his own limitations and stopped acting like he was the most important person in the world.
"You all take a rest! Leave the rest to me!" Li Xia patted Bai Xiaochun on the shoulder.
"Then you're ready, I'm going to start stopping!" Bai Xiaochun said with great difficulty.
"Okay!" As soon as Li Xia finished speaking, Bai Xiaochun couldn't wait to withdraw his spiritual energy and gasped for breath...
Li Xia stretched out her hands, and the fierce black wind suddenly disappeared!
"This... is it that strong?" Bai Xiaochun was dumbfounded. He never expected that the black-haired yin wind that he had tried his best to resist could be dealt with by this person with a casual move!
“Some things aren’t as complicated as you think. Sometimes, you can’t just rely on brute force; you have to use this method!” Li Xia pointed to her head and then walked towards the end of the passage first.
The members of the Huangtian Gang followed behind, looking at how the passage was blocked by a thick ice wall. They felt a wave of fear; they were lucky they hadn't challenged these incredibly powerful experts, otherwise they wouldn't even know how they died...
"Finally out! It was so damn suffocating in there, it's so much better outside!" the hyena muttered as soon as it emerged.
