Chapter 225 Heartland
This group of monsters were not coming for them, so it was easy to get rid of them.
But they were unlucky.
As soon as he got rid of the monster, the sky was covered with dark clouds and then it started to rain heavily.
Raindrops as big as beans fell down with a crackling sound, and several people were instantly drenched like drowned rats, soaking their bodies. They were now hiding in a small cave to avoid the rain.
Fortunately, everyone was a cultivator. They raised their hands and cast a spell, and their robes quickly became dry.
Zhuo Hua raised his hand to wipe the wet water droplets from his head, and muttered with a bitter face: "This luck is really terrible. I just dodged the monster and now I'm drenched in rain like this."
"Is it bad luck for us to go out?"
"Fortunately, there are no monsters in this cave."
Su Xun covered his mouth with his hand and said, "Brother, please stop talking."
"You've been so good at talking lately that it's scary."
“…”
Nan Xiao stood in front of the cave entrance, looking outside.
I saw heavy rain pouring down, the raindrops were big and dense, splashing high water on the ground. When the wind blew, the rain curtain slanted, and everything in front of me was blurred.
It seems like I'm really unlucky.
It seemed to confirm her idea.
Suddenly, a low roar was heard from the cave. The sound spread dully in the cave, carrying bloodthirstiness and hunger.
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhuo Hua at the same time.
Zhuo Hua was so frightened that his body trembled.
He quickly defended himself, "I said it was a coincidence, do you believe it?"
Jian Mo smiled, and for the first time she smiled at Zhuo Hua in a friendly manner.
She said, "Junior brother, bow your head."
Zhuo Hua was touched, and he knew that his senior sister must be the best to him.
The next second, Jian Mo's smile disappeared, and a silence talisman was attached to him.
Jian Mo said coldly: "Don't tear it."
Zhuo Hua: “…”
Senior sister, you have changed. You were not like this before.
He turned his gaze to the crowd with a pitiful look, and asked, "Please say something for him."
They were all so cruel to him.
Nan Xiao said solemnly: "Brother Zhuo,
For everyone's safety, I have to put you in a difficult position for now. I'll just keep quiet, but I believe you can do it."
Su Xun and Lu Huai followed behind and patted his shoulders.
Zhuo Hua: “…”
…
A massive monster slowly emerged from the cave, its fur clinging to its body as raindrops dripped down its fur onto the ground, leaving a trail of water stains. Its dark green eyes gleamed with bloodthirstiness, and its sharp fangs were drenched in glistening saliva.
It is a demon beast at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Everyone took out their weapons and stood ready.
Jian Mo is protected by Zhuo Hua.
The monster roared at everyone, and like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, it dug the ground with its four claws and pounced on everyone.
Chen Wenxuan reacted extremely quickly, and the magic sword in his hand flew out and pierced directly into the monster's eyes, forcing it to turn its head to avoid.
At the same time, Nan Xiao quickly formed seals with his hands, and a stream of spiritual power transformed into a shield, protecting everyone inside and offsetting the impact of the monster's pounce.
Mingcheng seized the opportunity and unleashed his sharp arrow, piercing the monster's leg joint. The monster twisted its body in pain, furiously, and lashed out with its tail. Seeing this, Su Xun immediately unleashed his magic, conjuring a wall of ice to block the fatal blow, sending shards of ice flying through the cave.
Everyone cooperated more and more tacitly, and they took advantage of the gaps between the monsters' attacks to display their best skills.
Lu Huai seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and plunged his spiritual sword directly into the vital part of the monster's neck. The monster let out a shrill roar, struggled a few times, and fell to the ground with a loud bang, splashing a large cloud of dust.
Nan Xiao looked at the monster's corpse and walked straight into the innermost part of the cave.
The cave is not very big and you can see the end at a glance.
It would be fine if she was the only one who didn't see the monster in the cave, but it's impossible that no one else had noticed it either.
What's more, the rain just started.
If the monster had stayed in the cave, it would not have gotten wet.
In other words, there are other entrances in this cave.
The others obviously thought of this as well and started checking inside the cave.
Nan Xiao poked the wall with his quick feet, and the small stone that had been lying quietly on Lu Huailing Sword began to become restless.
"Little Stone, what's wrong?"
As soon as Nan Xiaoqiao finished speaking, the small stone that had been resting safely on the spirit sword suddenly seemed to lose its mind. It rolled off the spirit sword and rushed towards one of the stone walls like a wild horse.
Nan Xiao thought to himself that something was wrong, and without thinking too much, he took action quickly. The emerald green vines shot out quickly and wrapped around Xiao Shitou's body accurately.
But at the moment when the vines wrapped around the small stone, the small stone's body disappeared into the stone wall bit by bit, and then a huge suction force came from the stone wall.
"Brother, help me!"
Nan Xiao felt her body being pulled uncontrollably towards the stone wall, and she hurriedly shouted to Su Xun who was closest to her.
Su Xun reacted extremely quickly, rushed forward and grabbed Nan Xiao's arm.
Seeing this, others also rushed over to help, one after another, holding tightly to the body of the person in front.
Just as they were stabilizing themselves, the suction force suddenly increased, like a giant hand pulling them into the stone wall, so fast that they had no power to resist.
"ah!"
Accompanied by bursts of screams, several people felt dizzy and then fell heavily to the charred ground.
Nan Xiao stood up first, frowning and looking around. He saw that the land was charred and cracked, with huge cracks crisscrossing, looking hideous and weird.
There is not even a hint of green.
And the place where they came in also disappeared.
Her eyes subconsciously turned to the vine in her hand.
One end of the vine had been scorched by some kind of flame and had already broken off. The broken end was a faint black color, faintly emitting a powerful aura.
She looked around, but the little stone was nowhere to be seen.
Su Xun asked, "Where is this?"
Mingcheng's face was solemn, his eyes fixed on the surroundings, and his tone was somewhat serious: "If I'm not mistaken, this is the center of the forbidden area."
As soon as he said this, everyone had different expressions.
Zhuo Hua tore up the talisman and quickly proved himself: "I didn't say anything. You can't bully me anymore."
Jian Mo was speechless.
"Shut up."
Nan Xiao stood there with her lips pursed, her fingers trembling slightly, feeling the coldness around her.
Did she harm everyone?
"Junior Sister, if we become the first group of cultivators to walk out of the center of the forbidden area alive, wouldn't that mean our glorious deeds would be recorded in the historical jade slips, becoming a legend passed down from generation to generation by future disciples? I'm quite excited just thinking about it." Su Xun described it with a beaming expression, "Don't you agree?"
Lu Huai smiled and said, "Fourth Senior Brother is right."
“Legends are meant to be broken.”
Jian Mo took her hand, but found that her fingers were cold.
She gently stroked Nan Xiao's hand and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, this is the path we chose ourselves. It has nothing to do with you. The path of cultivation is inherently bumpy and difficult. How can everything go smoothly and without problems?"
"As Junior Brother Lu said, legends are meant to be broken."
Chen Wenxuan: "I originally came here for the center, and now it can be said that I stumbled upon it by accident and finally fulfilled my wish."
Mingcheng chuckled: "Actually, I've always been curious about what's here."
Nan Xiao understood what everyone meant and calmed down as quickly as possible.
She was the one who brought the people in, so no matter what, she had to take them out.
