Fifth Winter and Summer and Xuanyuan Changhong landed steadily.
The red-eyed snakes, torn apart by the sword energy, fell as a rain of snakes.
Yan Luo opened her umbrella and sheltered Liu Qian beside her.
The others used their ghostly weapons to sweep away the foul rain.
Wang Yi's eyes shone brightly as he gazed at a sliver of light shining from the distant horizon.
"This is just an appetizer. Judging from the snake and fox carved on the stone gate we came in through, this development seems to be quite interesting."
The group continued forward, heading towards the light.
But the further they walked, the more something seemed wrong, so Wang Yi raised his hand to signal them to stop.
Xu Chunlai, panting heavily, said, "Damn, could it be some kind of ghost wall? The light is right there, but I just can't get there. Are you kidding me?"
Di Huanian took out some water from his backpack and gave it to everyone.
Zhao Jun took a sip of water and said sparingly, "We should have fallen into the formation. None of us are trained in formations, so it will be difficult to break the formation."
Wang Yi said with a grin, "It's a good opportunity to take a break."
Everyone sat down on the ground and started drinking water.
"Speaking of which, Luo, how's Grandpa Fan's eldest granddaughter's cultivation going in your team?"
Cover the bottle with the inkstone lid.
“Ningning has exceptional talent. She is already at the seventh level at the age of 17 and has remarkable skills in formations. If she is given a few more years, she will surely reach the ninth level soon.”
Wang Yi couldn't help but praise, "The younger generation is truly formidable!"
Liu Qian adjusted his glasses.
"It's been a long time since we've encountered a fox demon. Fox demons are skilled at bewitching people and practice enchantment techniques. We've probably fallen for that trick."
Di Huanian stood up, holding an iron rod in his hand. Inside the rod was a knife; this type of weapon was called a club-knife.
"Then there's only one option,"
"One force can overcome all laws!!"
Di Huanian raised the iron rod with his right hand, channeled his energy to his waist, spread his legs, and then let out a loud shout.
"break!!!"
The iron rod slammed violently into the ground, making a loud "thud".
The iron rod fell, raising clouds of dust.
Everyone heard screams rising and falling all around them.
Di Huanian exhaled a breath of stale air.
"It seems to be working well."
The faint light that the group had been following had disappeared, but a dim stone path had appeared in that direction.
The group set off again.
The long, winding stone path stretched on and on, and after walking for what seemed like an eternity, we finally crossed it.
Inside the ancient ruins, all communication devices and the concept of time have failed, and the feeling of everyone at this moment can only be described as "each day feeling like an eternity".
Passing through this stone path, a huge stone gate comes into view, with a giant snake carved on it.
Outside the stone gate was a dimly lit open space.
Wang Yi signaled for everyone to stop.
"Let's stop here for today. Tomorrow we'll go inside and see what's really going on."
Upon hearing that he could rest, Xu Chunlai collapsed from exhaustion; walking was simply too difficult for someone of his weight.
Di Huanian put down his backpack, and he was like Sha Wujing carrying a shoulder pole, capable of doing all kinds of hard labor and fighting.
Di Huanian lit a fire, picked up a pot, and took out noodles to cook.
Seeing this, Xu Chunlai stopped Di Huanian and asked him to do it.
A fat person who can't cook isn't a good fat person.
After consuming their energy, everyone started chatting.
Wang Yi looked at Yan Luo and asked, "Xiao Luo, are you living with your three nieces now?"
Yanluo nodded, took out her phone, opened the photo album, and showed everyone the group photo of them in the bunny costumes.
"So cute."
"It's a serious-looking man like Zhao Jun," he said.
Yanlu smiled slightly and began to tell everyone about interesting things that happened on a daily basis.
Liu Qian also shared photos of her son who is in elementary school.
Only Wang Yi and Liu Qian in the group are married, but only Liu Qian has children.
Yanluo asked, "Brother Yi, haven't you considered having children?"
Wang Yi shook his head.
"My wife is afraid of pain, so we've never had children."
At this point, Wang Yi sighed again, pressing his right hand against the eye patch over his right eye.
"Actually, it's because my wife is trying to save face for me; I'm infertile."
"When I lost this eye during a mission, my body was also severely injured."
Yan Luo comforted Wang Yi.
"My sister-in-law is a good wife."
After chatting for a while, everyone started preparing to rest, with the eight of them taking turns keeping watch in pairs.
Yanluo and Fifth Winter and Summer were on night watch first.
Yanluo added some dry firewood that she had collected on the ground to the fire.
The temperature inside the ancient ruins is lower than outside, so having a fire would make things much better, although there isn't much dry firewood.
Just as Yanluo was adding firewood, Fifth Winter Summer suddenly spoke up.
"Xiao Luo, this is for you."
Yan Luo turned his head and saw that Fifth Winter Summer was holding the Spring and Autumn Sword and was about to hand it to him.
Shaking her head hastily, Yanluo asked doubtfully, "Brother, you know I can't accept it."
Fifth Winter and Summer stroked the light blue blade of the Spring and Autumn Sword.
With a gentle expression, but unable to hide the sorrow in her eyes, Fifth Winter Summer said softly, "Fifth Jia Chen, one of the first generation of the Ten Great Ghost Hunters, has two different swords."
"One is called Winter and Summer, the other is called Spring and Autumn."
"The Fifth Jia Chen, who wielded two swords, guarded this country. Grandfather gave these two swords to me and your master, the Fifth Chunqiu."
"Chunqiu was proud and aloof, and her skill in swordsmanship far surpassed mine. My grandfather said that Chunqiu's swordsmanship was faster, more ruthless, and more decisive than his when he was young. She was also known as the 'Sword Immortal' by everyone."
“I already have the Winter and Summer Swords, and I can’t fully unleash the power of both swords like my grandfather did.”
"The Spring and Autumn Sword also seemed to be somewhat resistant to me."
"So, I think it would be better to give this sword to you."
Having said that, Fifth Winter Summer held the sword hilt and handed it horizontally to Yan Luo.
Yan Luo looked at the sword he was once most familiar with with a dejected expression, his master's moves flashing through his mind.
As if by some strange twist of fate, the Spring and Autumn Sword had already come into his hands.
The Spring and Autumn Sword felt cool and light in my hand, and I could faintly feel a chilling sword intent invading my body.
Yan Luo did not stop the sword intent, but allowed it to rage within her body.
Yan Luo pinched her sword fingers together and gently stroked the sword. The Spring and Autumn Sword emitted a clear, ethereal sword hum.
Fifth Winter and Summer watched this scene with satisfaction.
Indeed, it was the right decision to hand the sword to his sister's disciple.
Yanluo gained the approval of the Spring and Autumn Sword.
"Brother Dongxia..."
Yan Luo wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Fifth Winter Summer.
"Stop talking. I believe I'm right. We must uncover the truth about the ghouls in this generation."
"May the Dragon Xia Kingdom enjoy eternal peace."
Yan Luo nodded solemnly.
"It definitely will."
Soon it was time for the changing of the guard, and Yanluo, clutching the Chaos Umbrella and the Spring and Autumn Sword, drifted off to sleep.
In her dream, Yanluo saw her master.
Fifth Spring and Autumn was not very tall, but she had a good figure, except that her chest was a little small.
She rarely showed her emotions, only displaying any expression when she was with Yanluo.
The training at the Fifth Spring and Autumn was very strict. When Yanluo was 15 years old, she followed her to the northern frontier to cultivate.
Yanluo, being from the south, was very excited to see snow for the first time, but her excitement soon faded.
Fifth Spring and Autumn required Yanluo to wield his sword in the snow wearing only his underwear.
You're not allowed to come back until you've swung at least 5,000 times each day.
Those days were both agonizing and joyful.
Fifth Spring and Autumn is very beautiful. Her naturally doll-like face adds a touch of humanity to her aloofness, making her seem like a fairy descended to earth.
