Compared to the four-dimensional space that trapped the Azure Dragon, the further Sheng Ning and his group went, the more they could feel that the air around them was thick and sticky.
Guan Yunchuan specially made several normal torches and handed them to the people around him, which dispelled the surrounding darkness and made them feel a little more at ease.
Similar to the passage on the upper level, they went down the stairs, and all they could see was darkness.
Yu frowned and looked around. "Will there really be totems here? Or is there something else waiting for us?"
He didn't speak loudly.
But since they were in a passageway, even the sound of their footsteps would be amplified.
His words instantly reached everyone's ears, and Lu Qing'an, who was walking in front of him, even turned around and glanced at him.
"Good things don't come true, but bad things do. Yu Ye, shut your mouth."
Yu's facial features scrunched up in a frown.
He meant that he was just being cautious and wanted to remind everyone to be vigilant.
When everyone's eyes were on him, he immediately shut his mouth.
If you're not going to talk, then don't talk.
He pursed his lips and patted Guan Yunchuan's shoulder lightly. "Fifth Junior Brother, guess who I am."
When Guan Yunchuan turned around, he saw him hold the torch to his face, letting the firelight illuminate his entire face, making a funny face with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes.
Guan Yunchuan: "...Fourth Senior Brother, you can be really boring sometimes."
Even Guan Yunchuan, that blockhead, is saying this about himself.
Yu suddenly felt it was pointless.
He frowned, about to put down his playful mood, when he heard the person in front of him suddenly speak, "Fourth Senior Brother, guess who's behind you?"
Yu was also afraid of ghosts and anything ugly.
So when they first entered the cave, he insisted on pulling Guan Yunchuan into the middle of the crowd.
With his junior sister leading the way in front of him and Fang Chong and the others backing him up behind, he felt extremely safe.
Guan Yunchuan suddenly asked him the same question he had just asked.
Yu also curled his lips and said, "Fifth Junior Brother, you're even more boring than me. I've already asked this question."
After saying this, he honestly replied, "Who else could be behind me? Of course, it's Fellow Daoist Fang Chongfang and his group from the Dingtian Sect."
But Guan Yunchuan shook his head. "You're wrong. There's no living person behind you."
Yu Ye was instantly flustered.
His scalp tingled, and he stared wide-eyed at Guan Yunchuan. "Guan Yunchuan, you've got some nerve! You dare to scare your senior brother like this?"
"I'm not trying to scare you, just wait and see."
Upon hearing this, Yu couldn't help but swallow hard.
He pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Don't scare me. You know I'm timid. If you scare me, I'll extort eight hundred high-grade spirit stones from you!"
Guan Yunchuan nodded, "Okay, I won't lie to you or scare you. Just wait and see."
Dai Yu finally mustered up the courage to turn around.
Upon seeing the eerie will-o'-the-wisp behind him, he cried out in alarm, dropped the torch in his hand, and jumped into Guan Yunchuan's arms.
"Guan Yunchuan, you're not trying to scare me!"
The next instant, a mustard seed bag filled with high-grade spirit stones was thrown into his arms, "Here's your spirit stones in return."
Metaphor: ...
The commotion caused by the two brothers was so great that even Sheng Ning, who was walking at the front, stopped in his tracks.
Everyone turned around and saw a large swath of eerie blue will-o'-the-wisps drifting toward them.
If it were only one or two will-o'-the-wisps, they could accept it.
But such a large area, densely packed...
"What's going on? Why are there so many will-o'-the-wisps all of a sudden? Where are the people from the Dingtian Sect?"
The five members of Dingtian Sect who were just walking behind them suddenly disappeared.
Sheng Ning walked to Yu Ye's side, holding a torch.
They had just walked straight down the stairs, and they could see the entrance just by turning around.
There was no other light in the passage except for the torches they were holding.
Therefore, the flames at the entrance were particularly eye-catching.
The light at the entrance is gone; instead, there are countless, densely packed will-o'-the-wisps.
Yu Ye stared at the will-o'-the-wisp in front of him, silently swallowed, and then turned his head to glare at Guan Yunchuan.
"It's all your fault! Why did you make me look back out of nowhere?"
Guan Yunchuan raised his hand and touched his nose. "It was you, Fourth Senior Brother, who told me to look ahead first."
"And if I hadn't reminded you, Fourth Senior Brother, wouldn't you have...?"
The words "eaten by will-o'-the-wisps" were not uttered yet.
Guan Yunchuan saw the person in front of him reach out and pinch his upper and lower lips, "Shut up! If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
"And the eldest brother just turned his head, so he didn't see these will-o'-the-wisps!"
Guan Yunchuan, whose lips were pinched into a duckbill shape, made two "mmm" sounds. Seeing that Yu was not going to let go, he could only raise his hands in surrender.
The latter then released his hand from his mouth, and before leaving, wiped his saliva-stained fingers on his clothes.
Guan Yunchuan: "...Fourth Senior Brother, I went out to rinse my mouth."
Besides, cultivators all know how to use hand seals, so how could they possibly become dirty?
Yu Ye was about to retort when she heard her junior sister's voice, which sounded slightly aggrieved.
"This doesn't seem to be a will-o'-the-wisp."
As soon as Sheng Ning said this, all five of the Invincible Master brothers turned to look at her.
With a flick of her wrist, Sheng Ning unleashed a burst of Netherworld Fire into her palm.
"These will-o'-the-wisps are completely unafraid of the Netherworld Fire, unless their level is higher than the Netherworld Fire, otherwise..."
Otherwise, these 'will-o'-the-wisps' wouldn't be will-o'-the-wisps at all.
It seemed to be to confirm what Sheng Ning had said.
The will-o'-the-wisps floating in mid-air stirred.
Visibility was limited in the passageway; even with torches in their hands, they could only illuminate two or three steps.
As the will-o'-the-wisps drew closer, they remained completely still until a hairy spider leg landed right in front of them.
Only then did they realize that what appeared to be will-o'-the-wisps in front of them were not will-o'-the-wisps at all.
These are clearly the eyes of a ghost spider!
Each ghost spider has six eyes, and countless 'will-o'-the-wisps' are densely packed in front of them.
Yu opened her mouth slightly, wanting to scream but unable to make a sound.
Goosebumps covered his skin, and he gripped Guan Yunchuan's fingers tightly, so hard that his knuckles turned slightly white.
Guan Yunchuan, whom he captured, did not show any pain.
"The Ghost Spider is known as the Lord of Darkness. Wherever they are, no cultivator can escape."
"Junior Sister, shall we make a move?"
Su Daiyuan stood behind his fellow disciples, holding a laser cannon.
Behind him, tens of thousands of icicles were poised to strike.
“We can’t act rashly,” Sheng Ning shook his head. “We still don’t know where Xie Wenxuan and the others are. If they’re not here, that’s fine, but if they’ve been eaten by the Ghost Spiders…”
