    Chapter 24: You’re Dumb, You Go First

    “Shen brother, Mo brother! How are you also here?” The three figures outside the cave entered his sight. Li Juemu’s trembling body finally stopped, and after a long time, a smile finally appeared on his face.

    However, the brotherly reunion he yearned for didn’t materialize. Shen Yucheng simply waved his right hand coldly, and a golden thread shot out from between his fingers like lightning, heading straight for his face. The sharp sound of the wind brushed past, and the golden thread almost grazed him before landing behind him.

    Shen Yucheng’s face was stern, and his movements were decisive and without hesitation, his aura as if he wanted to take his life.

    “Shen, Shen brother…” Li Juemu’s hands and feet, which had just calmed down, now trembled even more violently: “What do you mean by this?”

    Before his words could fade away, the Mo brother he spoke of had already summoned his crimson longsword, the sword leaving its sheath, a wisp of silver light emerging, the silver sword light piercing straight at Li Juemu like fine needles. His face turned deathly pale, terrified, and just as he was about to dodge to the side, his body shook, and he felt his feet as heavy as if they were wrapped in lead balls, unable to move.

    Seeing the crimson sword approaching, he glanced down with the corner of his eye and saw a black array operating under his feet at some unknown time.

    “!!” The crimson sword closed in, and he could only close his eyes tightly. A cool breeze swept past, and the sound of a sharp blade entering flesh came from behind, but he felt no pain. Li Juemu frantically Groom his body, finding himself unharmed.

    “Juemu, what are you doing here?” Shen Yucheng clenched the golden thread between his fingers, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. Mo Yifeng beside him gritted his teeth, manipulating the sword with two fingers, and a cyan-blue spiritual energy flowed endlessly.

    Li Juemu’s forehead was covered in sweat, mistakenly believing that they were unhappy with his appearance and wanted to kill him to silence him, he hurriedly struggled and explained: “My brother and I are lost!”

    Little did he know, the array under his feet locked him in even tighter. Fu Lingxuan stared at Li Yuan, the youth in black and gold robes had distinct features and a serious face, somewhat similar to Li Juemu, but his gaze never left Fu Lingxuan.

    The two men looked at each other, and sparks seemed to fly in the air. “Li Yuan, lost?”

    This should have been a caring question, but when it came out of Fu Lingxuan’s mouth, it had a teasing tone. Li Yuan’s face instantly turned ashen, and he almost crushed his back molars, giving his dumb younger brother a punch: “You’re the one who’s lost, we’re just late.”

    In fact, the Li brothers were also invited to participate in this year’s secret realm, but because they were late, they missed many of the competitions, and they arrived late on the day of entry, so everyone had never seen them before.

    Li Juemu cried out in pain, rubbing the bump on his head: “Didn’t we arrive late because we were lost?”

    At this moment, Shen Yucheng’s expression suddenly changed. Li Yuan grabbed Li Juemu’s arm: “Fu Lingxuan, let go.”

    The black magic array under Li Juemu’s feet disappeared, and he was pulled into the air with the pull of his arm. In the next instant, the place where the two of them had just stood was struck heavily, the stone ground cracking like a spider web, and gravel splashed, falling on Li Juemu’s face and drawing blood.

    Looking back, Li Juemu realized that there was a purple-green monster, its body covered in golden threads, a crimson golden sword inserted into its left chest. Its hand, covered in Stone, was being pulled out of the ground. Although its movements were slow, its Vigorous was undiminished, making him shudder with lingering fear.

    “It really is troublesome, and its skin is thick.” Initially, Shen Yucheng tried to cut it apart with golden threads, but the monster was exceptionally tough. Its whole body seemed soft yet not soft, making it difficult to find a weakness. He re-tightened the golden threads to reduce the monster’s movement.

    Mo Yifeng also pulled out his sword, the impact causing the monster to retreat a few steps, the cave was affected, and Stone chips fell one after another.

    Li Juemu was confused and asked after landing: “Why is there such a thing here?”

    But as soon as he asked, no one answered. The monster suddenly rushed towards the inside of the cave, the stone walls collapsed rapidly, and everyone had no time to care. Shen Yucheng dispatched more silk threads, Fu Lingxuan lit up a black magic array above the monster’s head, and Li Yuan stepped forward to Talisman. Through this continuous control, they finally Confinement the monster, preventing it from moving.

    Seeing this, Li Yuan looked back at Fu Lingxuan: “Now can you tell me? Why are you here?”

    Fu Lingxuan smiled: “This is the secret realm, it’s normal for me to be here, right? Or do you want to ask why in the secret realm?”

    Shen Yucheng saw that they had been full of hostility since they met, and asked Mo Yifeng about their relationship in a low voice.

    “Li Yuan, a direct The legitimate son of the Li family, the same age as Fu Lingxuan, currently in the Nascent Soul middle stage, mainly cultivating the Fudao.” Mo Yifeng wiped his sword.

    It was rare to see him remember someone so well, Shen Yucheng was curious: “Is he very powerful?”

    Mo Yifeng’s lowered eyes suddenly sharpened: “I don’t know, but he once displayed a few interesting symbol, I really want to get them.”

    Shen Yucheng looked at them and unconsciously entered the cave. After they left the big pit just now, they thought that Holexue in the secret realm usually contained treasures, so they decided to look for a mountain cave.

    However, there were many peaks here, and it might be difficult to find them on foot before the area changed. Therefore, they adopted a strategy of digging the wall, directly digging through the mountain wall until they found the treasure.

    And the Holexue guarded by demon beasts were more likely to contain treasures, so when they saw the purple-green monster behind Li Juemu, they were quite happy.

    When the monster retreated just now, Shen Yucheng noticed that there was a channel in the back, but they had to defeat the giant beast in front of them first.

    The golden threads were taut, and the fingers connected felt the violent struggle on the opposite side. Shen Yucheng noticed that the demon beast was trembling all over, trying its best to Twist its body, trying to break free from the golden threads. Whether it was an illusion or not, the monster’s strength seemed to have increased several times compared to before.

    The black magic array above also swayed. Seeing this, Mo Yifeng said in a deep voice: “This kind of Cave guarding beast has a characteristic, its spiritual power and cultivation will increase as it gets closer to the core of the mountain cave.” Therefore, it was eager to return to the depths of the Hole xue.

    “The trouble with Cave guarding beast is that its cultivation is uncertain. Before reaching the core of the cave, everything about it may mutate.” Mo Yifeng covered his sword with a layer of blue spiritual light, “Looking at the situation, it should be in the Golden Core middle stage.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, the Identity Talisman in front of the demon beast suddenly peeled off. It took the opportunity to explode its spiritual power,Flashing the Confinement power, and suddenly pounced on the group.

    Mo Yifeng and Li Juemu fought fiercely with it for several rounds. Mo Yifeng’s swordsmanship was both soft and strong, often attacking mercilessly when he captured the opponent’s loopholes. Li Juemu held a sword, his Practice was completely different from Mo Yifeng’s, winning with unyielding strength. If he could cultivate it to the extreme, he could overwhelm his opponents with powerful sword Qi.

    The two cooperated with each other, and Li Yuan assisted from the side. The demon beast was beaten back again and again, its footsteps unsteady, and several wounds appeared on its body.

    Fu Lingxuan frowned, staring at the demon beast’s movements, and muttered to himself: “Something’s not right.”

    Shen Yucheng heard this and noticed something strange in the recent two strikes. Li Juemu attacked head-on, and Mo Yifeng attacked from the side, which should have been unstoppable. However, Mo Yifeng’s attack gradually slowed down, and there were two obvious gaps that he did not fill in time, but the demon beast did not take the opportunity to counterattack, but continued to defend.

    Indeed, something was not right.

    Because the top few Nascent Soul in the secret realm took pressure pills before entering, their spiritual power was only at the Golden Core peak at this time, and their original Nascent Soul cultivation methods consumed a lot of spiritual power, causing their spiritual pills to be consumed rapidly and beginning to feel weak.

    At this time, the demon beast glanced at the back and lightly jumped to the front of the cave entrance before everyone could react, the impact bounced the two sword-wielding men back.

    Shen Yucheng instantly wove a Fabric network with golden threads, steadily catching the two. When he touched Mo Yifeng, he felt a chill, as if the toxins in Mo Yifeng’s body had worsened, plus he had lowered his cultivation. On the surface, he seemed unharmed, but unnatural cold sweat seeped out of his back.

    “Oops, thank you, Shen brother.” Li Juemu was dizzy from being bounced back, and stood up swaying, “That monster seems to be immortal no matter how you hit it.”

    At this time, Li Yuan stared at the monster standing in front of the passage, seemingly discovering something, and picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at it.

    Li Juemu asked in confusion: “Brother, what are you doing…”

    Only to see that the stone, which should have landed on the demon beast, suddenly disappeared three meters away from it, and then appeared on Li Yuan’s body. And in the air where the stone disappeared, faint ripples appeared, like an invisible barrier Wrapped the monster.

    “Why?” Shen Yucheng’s gaze could not move away from that strange place. There was no barrier just now, when did it appear?

    He launched a rapid attack with golden threads, instantly approaching the barrier, but just as he was about to touch it, the golden threads suddenly Retract’s palm as if they had reached the end.

    Speed ​​could not break through either.

    He had thought about summoning the Azure-Scaled Lion, but the mountain cave was fragile, and it was difficult for the Azure-Scaled Lion to use its size in the cave.

    “Fu Lingxuan, what about your magic array?” Mo Yifeng asked, holding his sword.

    “Do you think I haven’t tried? Any magic array that is positioned inside the barrier cannot be cast,” Fu Lingxuan’s eyes lowered, “This beast should have spatial attributes and can transfer objects around it out.” He had heard that the true abilities of Cave guarding beast could only be Play after approaching the core, and now it seemed that this explained why the demon beast had always maintained its defense against the attacks of Mo Yifeng and the two.

    Li Juemu swallowed his saliva: “Then let’s try attacking together, spatial magic has limitations, it shouldn’t be able to remove everyone at the same time.”

    The few had no other way but to act according to the situation. The five people split up and launched attacks from different directions. Their footsteps moved, and their figures rushed towards the monster.

    In the next instant, Li Juemu was Shock back to the spot, followed by Shen Yucheng and others one after another.

    Li Juemu looked disappointed: “This doesn’t work either?”

    Shen Yucheng stood up again, his eyes slightly dull. Recalling the scene of being Bounce back just now, he felt as if his whole body was suddenly pulled back by an invisible force, but he saw Mo Yifeng on his right still rushing forward.

    He was the first to be moved outside the barrier.

    Fu Lingxuan was the last to be moved out, closest to the demon beast.

    He didn’t believe that the Cave guarding beast would be so stupid as to only transfer one person at a time in order to allow others to approach him. The only possibility was that although the demon beast’s magic had no limit on the number of transfers, it had a limit of only transferring one person at a time.

    It can transfer multiple times, but only one person at a time.

    Thinking of this, Shen Yucheng couldn’t help but smile in his heart. Just as he was about to inform everyone of this discovery, he saw that everyone was staring at the demon beast inside the barrier, and a meaningful smile appeared on their faces.

    Except for Li Juemu.

    Seeing this, Li Juemu thought that everyone had been smashed silly, and said in a panic: “You… what’s wrong, can you stop smiling? It’s so cold.”

    The four stepped forward, put their arms around his shoulders, bullying the ignorant youth, and said in unison: “You go first.”

    Li Juemu was confused: “What does that mean? Isn’t attacking together useless?”

    In the end, after discussion, the order of attack was: Li Juemu, Fu Lingxuan, Li Yuan, Shen Yucheng, Mo Yifeng.

    The few people were like Connection pearls, lined up in a straight line outside the barrier, pushing Li Juemu into the barrier.
