Chapter 344 The Third Key
The young man was surrounded by dense swarms of monsters. The sword light flashed occasionally in the herd, so fast that only an afterimage was left.
The strands of hair on Lu Huai's forehead were wet with sweat and stuck to his face. The spirit sword was dripping with blood and fell to the ground along the sword tip, splashing tiny blood flowers.
"You want me to take over?"
"Need not."
He muttered to himself, his eyes brightening surprisingly, revealing a tenacity that refused to admit defeat: "I can do it myself."
He had just broken through to the God Transformation stage, so he shouldn't be afraid of ordinary monsters. However, he happened to be chased by hundreds of God Transformation stage monsters.
It is amazing that he can still fight back in such a situation.
How many had he killed? He couldn't remember. His body's instincts outran his thoughts, and the sword's movements rose and fell entirely by subconscious instinct.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the outside, and the besieging monsters retreated halfway.
Lu Huai forced the monster in front of him away with a sword and turned his head to look at the source of the sound.
Before I could see the figure clearly, a familiar voice hit my ears:
"Junior Brother."
It was Ye Wumian's voice, clear and urgent. Then, Nan Xiao called out, "Lu Huai!"
Lu Huai's hand holding the sword paused slightly, and the tense and stern look in his eyes instantly melted away with a hint of warmth.
Murmured: "Xiaoxiao?"
Then, he lowered his head in disappointment and laughed at himself: "Why is Xiaoxiao here? Why am I hallucinating again?"
The monster pounced again.
Before Lu Huai swung his sword, a sharp arrow shot out from his side, passing in front of his eyes with scorching heat and accurately piercing the monster's left eye.
The monster flew out howling in pain. Lu Huai's originally calm heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat and then suddenly accelerated.
He turned his head and saw the figure in white in the distance. The girl was holding a flaming longbow, and the bowstring had not yet been completely released.
Joy instantly climbed onto his brows, "Smile."
Nan Xiao raised his voice: "What are you standing there for? Come here!"
Arrows flew through the air one after another, clearing the obstacles in front of him.
Lu Huai raised his sword and turned around. The sword light split the two monsters blocking the way and rushed towards the figure.
Qiao Yue used talismans to block the monsters chasing Lu Huai, and used formations to hide the breath of several people, making the monsters lose their direction.
"Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother."
Lu Huai stood in front of a few people and greeted them, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the girl in white next to him.
Nan Xiao tilted his head slightly, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why didn't you call me?"
Lu Huai didn't respond. He walked straight past Qiao Yue and Ye Wumian, took two steps to Nan Xiao, stretched out his long arms and held her in his arms.
The young man bent down slightly, buried his head in the crook of her neck, took two deep breaths, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiaoxiao, I miss you so much."
"They say a day apart feels like three years. So, I'm afraid we haven't seen each other for quite a few years."
Nan Xiao froze in his embrace, her nose brushing against the tips of his sweaty hair. The faint scent of blood was strangely reassuring. She raised her hand and gently patted his back. "Alright, let go for now. My brothers and sisters are still watching."
"Um."
Ye Wumian rolled his eyes speechlessly. He felt that he shouldn't be here.
Qiao Yue smiled and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's go find the eldest brother."
"Um."
Qiao Yue and Ye Wumian walked in front, while Nan Xiao and Lu Huai followed behind and whispered.
Nan Xiao glanced at the stain on his cuffs and whispered, "You're dirty now, do you want to change your clothes first?"
Lu Huai paused, turned around and looked at her, with a hint of grievance in his eyes, but his voice was deliberately drawn out: "Do you dislike me?"
Nan Xiao also stopped and looked at him in disbelief.
The setting sun shone through the gaps in the woods onto the young man's face. His angular profile was covered with a little dust, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
Nan Xiao was speechless for a moment and said dryly, "I don't have any."
"Then~" Lu Huai leaned his head over and whispered, "Hold me again."
Nan Xiao: “…”
Ye Wumian couldn't bear to listen any longer.
Why didn’t I realize that my junior brother was so shameless before?
He can climb whatever the junior sister hands him.
"Well, we are still here, little junior brother, please be careful." Ye Wumian coughed lightly to remind him.
Lu Huai responded with a smile: "I understand, Senior Brother."
Nan Xiao glared at him and hit him with her elbow, then quickly ran to Qiao Yue and took her arm.
Lu Huai chuckled twice, pinched his fingers together, and a white light flashed. He was wearing a clean white robe with dark patterns on it, which was somewhat similar to the pattern on Nan Xiao's clothes.
Qiao Yue asked, "Junior brother, how did you attract so many monsters?"
Just as they walked along the way, there were many corpses of monsters on the ground, not to mention those that besieged him.
Lu Huai: "Senior Sister, you are really wronging me. I also want to know the reason."
At first he had no choice but to fall directly into the group of monsters. He took away the things in the monsters' den and was chased and beaten by the monsters.
Later, he suddenly broke through to the God Transformation Realm. Just after experiencing the thunder tribulation, before he could recover, he was chased and killed by a group of God Transformation monsters that appeared out of nowhere.
He explained his affairs in a few words.
Nan Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand towards him: "Show me what you got from the monster."
Qiao Yue and Ye Wumian also reacted at the same time.
Could it be another secret room key?
Lu Huai took out a ball from his storage ring and placed it in Nan Xiao's hand, "Here."
When they took a look, they thought the material and the feel were really good.
Suddenly, the way they looked at Lu Huai changed.
Who said this child is unlucky? Isn’t this a good thing?
Not only did he break through to the level of God Transformation, he also obtained the key to the secret room.
If the ghosts and monsters had not gone crazy before, they would definitely be looking for the third secret room.
Now……
Nan Xiao was also unsure and decided to throw the question to Qiao Yue.
"Second Senior Sister..."
A faint smile played across Qiao Yue's lips as she glanced at the few people. "Since the key has fallen into my hands, it's fate. Since ancient times, danger and opportunity have always been intertwined. Naturally, we can't miss it."
Ye Wumian put his hand on Lu Huai's shoulder: "Then go and take a look."
…
The passage was dark, and the stone walls were gleaming with a cold light.
Not far away lay the corpse of a monster that had been struck by thunder.
Su Xun, Song Hui and Zhuo Hua brandished their magic swords and fought against the other two monsters.
There were blood stains on the robes of the three people, and it was hard to tell whether they were from the monster or their own.
Zhuo Hua spat out a mouthful of blood foam: "What's going on with these two monsters? They were almost dead just now, but now they are revived with full health and even stronger."
It’s no wonder that he was depressed. In fact, both Song Hui and Su Xun were quite depressed.
The three of them swallowed the Star Snow Lotus Fruit and entered the Spirit Transformation Realm almost at the same time.
As soon as the thunder arrived, three divine beasts also came over.
One of the monsters, perhaps because it was running too fast or because it hated the fruit thief so much, plunged into the thunder area and was struck to death as expected.
Although the remaining two monsters were angry, they still retained some rationality.
They were guarding outside the thunder, intending to swallow them as soon as the thunder ended. The effect of the medicine should not be bad.
As a result, the monster underestimated them and not only failed to succeed, but was beaten to the point of death by the three of them.
Unexpectedly, when it was on the verge of death, the monster was controlled by an unknown force, its injuries healed instantly, and its strength increased dramatically.
This is the current situation.
