An ominous premonition arose in everyone's heart.
Nalan Jingyue sighed softly before speaking slowly, "It's not completely without a chance. Fortunately, there's only one monster. If we join forces, we still have a chance of winning."
Although Nalan Jingyue said this, everyone knew that this one-point chance of winning meant a 90% chance of death.
Everyone's heart was in suspense.
"Do you have any other ideas for us to improve our strength quickly? If so, we'll be more confident."
Su Yao looked at him expectantly. After being together for so long, in her heart, she already regarded him as an omnipotent person. After all, before entering the dragon tomb.
Their strength was not enough to deal with monsters above the Nascent Soul stage, but under his guidance for just over a month, their strength had made a qualitative leap.
Looking at Su Yao's expectant eyes, Nalan Jingyue really couldn't bear to pour cold water on her, so he just looked at her with complicated eyes.
Seeing him like this, Su Yao already knew what he was going to say, and her heart suddenly cooled.
He sat back to his original position weakly, his brows furrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Nalan Jingyue was helpless, but still spoke slowly: "Here, I have the highest cultivation level, followed by Ayi, Su Yao, and Zhao Daoyou. The three of you are all at the Nascent Soul stage, so I believe you can hold on for a while.
Now that the monster knows of our presence, it must still be waiting for us at the stone gate. Continuing to waste time is not a solution. If you do as I say, you might have a better chance of success."
Although it was only a little more certain, everyone was still somewhat delighted. Xu Fuyi asked politely, "Jingyue, tell me, what do you want us to do?"
Everyone once again focused their attention on Nalan Jingyue.
"When we go out again, I will be responsible for dealing with the monster. Fellow Daoist Zhao, Ayi, and Su Yao, you will be responsible for assisting in attacking the monster. The rest of you,
All you have to do is use formations or spells on the monster from a distance near the stone gate. If your attack can slow the monster down even a little bit, it will be considered a success." This was the best method Nalan Jingyue could think of.
"Stand by the stone gate and attack. If the monster attacks you, get back into the stone gate as quickly as possible. Don't hesitate." Nalan Jingyue looked serious.
Everyone listened attentively, not daring to miss a single word. They nodded firmly to indicate they understood.
Then Nalan Jingyue took out another bottle of pills from his storage bag and looked at them with a serious expression.
"This is the Violent Spirit Pill. If your life is not threatened, I hope you will never use this pill. Taking it can increase your cultivation by two levels within an hour.
But its side effects are also very obvious. After eating it, your body will be unable to use spiritual power for half a year. By then, any mortal can easily kill you.
But this is not the most important thing. Even if your body can recover, your cultivation level will regress. I don’t know exactly how much it will regress!" Nalan Jingyue poured the violent spirit pill into his palm and motioned for each of them to take one.
Everyone had different expressions. If they had a choice, they would definitely not use this violent spirit pill. They were afraid that they would not have the chance to choose when the time came.
The room was silent.
After a while, Nalan Jingyue broke the silence in the room again.
"The monster must still be guarding us at the stone gate. We will go out tomorrow. You should have a good rest and adjust your condition first." After saying that, he took the lead and began to practice.
The others did not say anything and joined the practice team one after another.
The room was silent, like the calm before a storm. Everyone was nervous. No matter how much they prayed for time to pass slowly, the next day arrived as scheduled.
Everyone opened their eyes, and there was no longer the panic and anxiety of yesterday in their eyes. What was left was only determination. They had known before coming to the Dragon Clan Tomb that this trip would be a life-or-death experience. There was no point in being afraid now.
"Let's go, it's time to put an end to this." Nalan Jingyue's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Everyone walked to the stone gate. In order to prevent being ambushed by the knife ghost as soon as they went out, Su Yao prepared several defensive arrays at once, and threw them out as soon as the four of them went out. She didn't expect them to be able to hold out for long, as long as she could buy them a breath or two of time, it would be enough.
The four of them nodded, and Ning Jing stood at the door, looking at Su Yao with a worried look on her face, "Be careful, don't force it!"
"Don't worry." Su Yao said with a smile.
"Jingjing, I will be careful too." Even at this time, Xu Fuyi still didn't make serious jokes about Ning Jing.
Rarely, Ning Jing did not sneer back, but nodded.
Xu Fuyi couldn't help but feel happy, and he had secretly decided in his heart that after getting out of this hellhole, he would make Ning Jing his Taoist partner.
His mind was full of complicated thoughts, but Nalan Jingyue didn't let him continue to think deeply and spoke directly: "Open the door."
As soon as the words fell, the stone door opened and Su Yao immediately threw the formation plate in her hand out.
But the imagined attack did not occur. The knife ghost was still sitting in the original place. When he saw them appear, he did not rush up to attack them, but instead let out a strange laugh.
"Weak immortals, hahaha, I didn't expect you to dare to come. It's a good thing you came. I've been trapped in this hellhole for thousands of years, so it's not bad for you to come and kill some time for me."
After he finished speaking, he slowly stood up. It was at this time that Su Yao began to look at the knife ghost carefully. He was ten feet tall and was wearing clothes made of some unknown animal.
The big knife in his hand was covered in dark red, which seemed to be the mark left by dried blood.
"Dao Gui, I heard that your strength is comparable to that of our immortal clan's Mahayana cultivators, so let me come and meet you for a while." As he said that, Nalan Jingyue took the lead and rushed forward with a sword.
The knife ghost's face was indeed full of surprise.
"Oh? You are quite knowledgeable and know that I am Dao Gui. That's interesting. This makes me reluctant to kill you!" Dao Gui easily blocked his attack.
Seeing this, Su Yao and the other two immediately dispersed and each used magic against the knife ghost.
Su Yao quickly threw a few more confinement arrays at the monster's feet. Knowing that these arrays could not restrain the knife ghost for long, the spiritual power in her body began to circulate rapidly.
Concentrating his own ice spiritual power, ice cones flew towards the knife ghost at an extremely fast speed.
