The horde of monsters is getting closer.
Under the light, those hideous faces were already visible.
Jinling slowly opened her fan and stood quietly beside Jia Bo, gazing ahead with him.
It was as if at this moment, the two of them had already lost all fear.
"Bang--"
A crisp gunshot rang out.
However, Jia Bo looked completely stunned, even though he hadn't pulled the trigger yet.
As soon as the gunshot rang out, countless monsters immediately changed direction and rushed towards the two closer figures.
It's them!
Jinling's eyes widened as well.
The bullets slashed through the air with massive crescent-shaped slashes, but their lethality against the monsters was quite limited.
After all, they were all demigod-level monsters. With only the strength of the two of them at levels 47 and 65, they could only provide slight resistance and were far from being able to kill them instantly.
Xiao He's figure, accompanied by streaks of dark light, weaved between the mouths and claws of numerous monsters.
"You take them away first," Xiao He said, brandishing his sword. "I'll clear the way for you."
Wang Xuefeng bit his lip and remained silent.
Xiao He kicked off the giant horn of a monster, and using the force of its head-shaking motion, his body shot out like a stray bullet.
"Jinling Jiabo! There's a switch on the stone! It's diamond-shaped! Press it! Quick!"
Xiao He's voice brought the two men, who were in a daze, back to reality.
Jia Bo quickly squatted down with the lamp in hand, groping for the switch he was talking about in the uneven ground.
"Found it!"
Rumble—
An even more intense earthquake was felt, but apart from where Jia Bo and Jin Ling were, everything else, from the dome to the ground, collapsed to a pulverized state.
"Come quick! The restriction has been lifted!" Jinling shouted anxiously as she lay on the remaining circular platform.
Xiao He opened the mechanical wings in mid-air and landed near the switch with great difficulty.
However, before Jinling could react, her vision blurred as if a warm light flashed, and Xiao He's figure instantly transformed into Wang Xuefeng.
The two were shocked and instinctively looked towards where Wang Xuefeng had been, only to find Xiao He lying there, fallen.
"Walk--"
Before the words were even finished, the circular platform rose rapidly.
As the three men rose and fell with Xiao He, they quickly lost sight of each other.
"Ah..." Jinling knelt on the ground in a daze, watching everything beneath her feet fall into the abyss, her mind still reeling from what had just happened.
Why did Xiao He become Wang Xuefeng, while Xiao He himself fell to the ground...?
Jin Ling looked on in disbelief and turned to look at Wang Xuefeng, only to see him kneeling to one side, his expression serious and silent.
“She…she is still…” Jinling wanted to ask, “Is she alright?” but it was obviously inappropriate to ask that.
[Yang Xing: How did it go? Did it succeed?]
[Xiao He: Go and provide backup for them]
Yang Xing: ? What about you?
[Xiao He: I've gone down to the third level.]
Yang Xing: ...
The platform where the three were located was like an elevator, and it didn't stop until they returned to the original cave.
Jinling and Jiabo looked at the familiar glowing insect eggs, their eyes filled with a sense of déjà vu.
"Come with me," Wang Xuefeng said in a deep voice.
The two exchanged a glance and didn't delay him any longer, because he clearly seemed to want to go down again.
Three underground floors.
Xiao He lay on a small hillside, surrounded by countless skeletons soaking in shallow water.
Perhaps the third level had already escaped the revival range, so the monsters on the third level did not awaken, but the monsters on the second level were scattered to various corners in the chaos.
The perspective view provided by Yang Xing resembles a pyramid, with the lower levels having a larger area.
Fortunately, the third floor is already the bottom floor.
Xiao He dared not create any light, and could only rely on groping to slowly climb up.
People have always feared the unknown, and Xiao He was no exception. Even though he controlled the body of the God of Life, his soul was still that of a mortal.
"Glug glug..."
The intermittent bubbling sound made the liquid on the ground seem somewhat viscous, like a swampy wetland.
"Stay where you are and wait for me."
As Wang Xuefeng's voice echoed in his mind, Xiao He paused in his action of tapping the ground with his knife.
However, the map shows that the "elevator" is still a long way off.
If Wang Xuefeng were to complete this journey entirely on his own, it would be an enormous burden for him.
“It’s alright, I can manage,” Xiao He replied.
"...Then slow down."
"Um."
Xiao He listened intently, then slowly stepped into the shallow water.
Fortunately, there was no sign of monsters nearby, only a musty, rotten smell.
As Xiao He silently counted to ninety-three, his blade encountered a hard obstacle.
He reached out and touched it; it seemed to be a huge bone, with a rough surface, as if it had been weathered.
He had no choice but to follow the path of the unknown skeleton around a corner.
"Boom..."
There was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground in the distance, indicating that some monsters had already encountered each other and were locked in combat.
Through previous observations, Xiao He discovered that these monsters would prioritize attacking living creatures, and only then would they "kill each other".
“Never mind them…the most urgent thing is to get closer to the exit…” Xiao He thought to himself.
However, standing on the skeletons he had just passed was a woman with a gloomy face.
Only dark elementalists can see everything clearly even in the dark.
"Crack..."
Xiao He accidentally stepped on a bone on the ground and crushed it with a dull thud.
"Whoosh—"
"clang!"
Xiao He instinctively parried.
