Within the secret realm.
Deep in the abyss, the light was dim. Several young geniuses walked towards the abyss one after another. The girl in red at the head of the group paused slightly, then lowered her eyes to look down at the ground, as if realizing something.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Feng Ping'an asked in confusion when he saw this.
Murong Heng and others had already followed and were standing less than five steps away. They also looked at Yun Zheng curiously.
Seeing Murong Heng's gaze fixed on Yun Zheng, Meng Feifei felt a little uncomfortable. After all, who would want to see the man they loved staring at another woman? Her face immediately turned cold and she shouted, "Hey, if you're not leaving, then don't block the road here."
"What are you looking at?" asked another Yaoguang genius in a humble tone.
Yun Zheng ignored their words. Her bloodshot eyes saw the unknown creatures beneath the surface of the soil. They were densely packed and seemed to be in a deep sleep, but as if they had smelled the scent of humans, they were showing signs of waking up.
Feng Ping'an also opened his pupil technique and looked at the ground, but he could only see a blurry shadow with different shades of color, and the dark shadow appeared as a mass.
What's this?
At this moment, Yun Zheng's expression changed, and she immediately said to Feng Ping'an, "Let's go!"
After saying that, she quickly moved forward and headed deep into the cave. Feng Pingan was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly reacted and followed Yun Zheng without hesitation.
"Why are you running so fast?" One of the young geniuses was puzzled. He looked around the bottom of the abyss and only smelled a strong fishy odor. He didn't even see the shadow of a living creature.
Murong Heng was startled for a moment, and then he keenly noticed a subtle rustling sound coming from the ground below. His light-colored eyes raised slightly, and he also quickly rushed forward!
His cultivation was very high, and in less than an instant, he had left the people behind him a long distance away.
Meng Feifei was shocked, "Murong Heng!"
She stamped her feet in frustration and followed him. However, her cultivation level was lower than Murong Heng's, and she could never catch up with him!
Murong Heng followed behind Yun Zheng and Feng Ping'an.
At this moment, a Tianjiao saw Murong Heng leave the place so quickly that a flash of inspiration came to his mind. His face turned pale for a moment and he said, "Something is wrong. There is something strange about this place. Otherwise, why is there not even a single living thing?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other geniuses immediately ran away.
“Run!”
However, before they could catch up with Meng Feifei, who was at the end, the ground beneath their feet was broken by some unknown creature, the dry ground cracked with a loud bang, and a shrill cry was heard.
The faces of those young geniuses turned pale, their pupils trembled, and they ran deep into the front with all their might.
Suddenly, a black monster as tall as an adult rushed out from the ground with the largest crack. Its wide mouth suddenly opened and bit one of the geniuses cruelly. With a "swish" sound, the sound of flesh and blood being torn by a sharp object was heard.
The genius who was bitten by the black monster screamed, but before he could even call for help, he was swallowed by the black monster.
When those geniuses caught a glimpse of this scene, their calves couldn't help but tremble.
What horrified them was that "black monsters" were breaking out of the ground at the bottom of the abyss. They looked like lumps, and their skin looked smooth and sticky, which made people feel disgusted.
Since they appeared, the stench has become stronger.
But deep ahead, these black monsters were becoming fewer and fewer.
The first thing that came to the minds of those geniuses was: Yun Zheng was actually the first person to discover that there was something unusual here!
"Run!"
A cloud-guarding genius shouted, summoning puppets to clear the way for him, while forcing himself to remain calm and fight with weapons in hand.
Several other geniuses also fought and fled deep into the front.
At this moment, Yun Zheng and her companions had not yet reached the safe place ahead and also encountered this black monster. Her eyes focused, and she raised her hand, and a flaming spear appeared in her hand.
She took out the spear with one hand, and the phoenix flame blasted out instantly.
A sizzling sound was heard, and the black monster blocking Yun Zheng's way instantly turned into a pool of black water. The foul stench went straight to the top of people's heads, making it unbearable.
Her eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and her little face showed a look of disgust.
She quickly used her spiritual power to block her sense of smell. After she could no longer smell the stench, she turned her head and said to Feng Ping'an, "They are afraid of fire and light. Don't let them stick to you!"
Feng Pingan looked a little flustered, but after hearing Yun Zheng's voice, he calmed down and replied, "Young lady, I understand!"
At this time, Murong Heng had caught up.
He suddenly raised his sword and chopped down the black monster that was about to attack him. The sword wind carried the breath of scorching flames and fiercely split the monster in half. The flames instantly engulfed the monster, leaving behind a pool of foul-smelling black water.
Feng Ping'an also controlled the intermediate puppets to resist these black monsters.
Accidentally, one of the intermediate puppets was stuck by the black monster. However, in a moment, the black monster instantly enveloped the body of the intermediate puppet and turned the puppet into something in its stomach. The monster became a little bigger.
Feng Ping'an's eyes showed a trace of disbelief. At this moment, a black monster broke out from the ground and quickly clung to Feng Ping'an's feet...
clang!
The flaming spear pierced Feng Ping'an's feet, and the black monster instantly corroded itself and turned into a pool of black water.
Feng Ping'an looked up with a startled heart, meeting the girl's dark phoenix eyes.
"Don't be distracted, go!"
The girl recalled her spear and continued to fly forward quickly. All the black monsters that blocked her way were hit by her spear and turned into black water with a "sizzling" sound.
Feng Pingan calmed down, and then ran forward with his puppets, fighting as they went. Because Yun Zheng had opened the way, his burden was much lighter, and he almost won without any effort.
Murong Heng also won without any effort.
He followed behind Feng Ping'an, not too far away but not too close.
Behind him, Meng Feifei screamed and called for help: "Murong Heng, come and help me!"
Murong Heng seemed not to hear and continued to move forward.
As for the remaining young geniuses, only two are still alive, and three have died at the hands of the black monster.
Not long after, Yun Zheng finally reached the bottom of the abyss. It was even darker here, and there was a cave on the right.
There is a barrier at the entrance of the cave, separating the inside from here.
Yun Zheng narrowed her eyes slightly. Suddenly, she heard a sound behind her. She turned around vigilantly and looked over. She met Murong Heng's pair of light-colored eyes again. They were clear and a little inhuman.
