The crowd continued to move forward, the sound of dripping water filled the entire passage, and in this enemy's lair with stone walls on all sides, it added a bit of eeriness. Only the light emitted by the torches burning along the way slightly drove away the unease in people's hearts.
At this time, footsteps came from behind, getting closer and closer, and everyone suddenly became vigilant. Xiao Li had already taken out smoke bombs, while Dingdang and Hantian were secretly gathering their energy, ready to fight at any moment.
Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit exchanged a glance, then Rainbow Cat crouched down to the ground, tilted her ears to listen for a moment before standing up and saying: "Five people." Although Rainbow Cat's powers were not as great as they once were, due to the Long Rainbow True Energy and the fact that the newcomers were already close by, she was able to easily distinguish them. The five figures gradually approached, and Xiao Li let out a loud roar: "Go!" As soon as he finished speaking, Jiu Jiang's smoke bomb flew towards the five figures. At this time, Ding Dang and Han Tian had also activated their internal energy, preparing to attack, but then they heard someone from the other side shout: "Wait a minute!" This voice... As they thought about it, Xiao Li and the others' movements slowed down, the smoke gradually dispersed, and after seeing the newcomers clearly, Xiao Li, Han Tian, and Ding Dang were all stunned. The Solar Day Five-Person Group?!
Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit weren't particularly surprised, as Rainbow Cat had already guessed a few things when she heard that there were five people coming. Lan Shui Bian coughed and said, "Cough, you guys didn't even see the person clearly before attacking, what if you hurt an innocent person?" Bai Zhen looked at Rainbow Cat and the others and explained, "Just now we released a few small flying insects to scout ahead, and found that it's very likely there's an exit up front, so we turned back."
The little fox said somewhat awkwardly, "So that's how it is, sorry..." Dingdang muttered softly, "We didn't mean to either..." Han Tian apologized, saying, "Sorry." Bai Zhen smiled and said, "It's nothing." On the other hand, Lan Yu had been staring at Dingdang and Xiao Li, clearly extremely dissatisfied with their attitude. Hong Mao spoke up, saying, "In that case, let's travel together then."
Bai Zhen nodded, just about to say "good", but was interrupted by Lan Yu saying: "However, when the time comes, the Jingyuan Pearl will be up to each of you, I just hope you don't lose so badly that you cry!" Xiao Liang became somewhat unhappy, what kind of thing is this to say, do you think you'll definitely win against us? Dangdang said bluntly: "Little girl, when the time comes, it's you who will be crying!" After finishing, she even made a face at Lan Yu.
"You..." Lan Yu wanted to retort, but was interrupted by Bai Zhen: "Alright Lan Yu, we're here to find the Jingyuan Pearl, no need to show off your eloquence." Lan Yu listened, her face red with suppressed anger, and didn't say a word.
Lan Shui stepped forward to comfort her, "Alright Lan Yu, we'll see the truth soon. Now let's go find Jingyuan Pearl." No matter when, Lan Shui always had a gentle and virtuous demeanor. Lan Yu and Lan Shui were close sisters, and Lan Shui was also very fond of this younger sister. The two had a great relationship. Indeed, Lan Yu's anger gradually subsided, and she pulled Lan Shui's hand to move forward with Bai Zhen, Bai Yan, and Bai Yang following behind them.
When Lan Shui walked up to Hong Mao and Blue Rabbit, she saw the warm smile on Blue Rabbit's face. Although she knew it was a polite smile, she still had the urge to tear it apart. With an unintentional glance, she found that Hong Mao seemed more stable than before. Hong Mao looked at Lan Shui and responded with a slight smile, causing Lan Shui to pause for a moment before turning her head and walking away, but her heart was filled with ripples. Actually, during the match against Gui Yu, Lan Shui had already noticed Hong Mao, seeing determination in his eyes. Later, she sent people to investigate Phoenix Martial Arts Hall, but for some reason, all of them were secretly taken care of, silently disappearing, which made her angry and even more curious. Today, upon seeing him again, Lan Shui seemed to have a deeper impression of Hong Mao, just one glance, and she felt that there was an attractive force on his body...
They walked for a good hour before the judge's voice rang out, and everyone quickened their pace. When they reached the end, it suddenly became much more spacious.
The torches lit up the cave, and at a glance, a box was placed on the highest step of the stone stairs. The faint light emanating from inside made everyone's heart skip a beat. Dingdang couldn't conceal his excitement, pointing at the box and shouting, "Great! The Jingyuan Pearl is in there!" Xiao Lian pulled Dingdang back, saying, "Big sister, don't get too excited yet, there are still others here." Dingdang was taken aback, then looked warily at the Riyue Five. Bai Zhen clenched his fists and said, "Since the Jingyuan Pearl is here, we'll have to offend you." Han Tian didn't wait for Hongmao to speak, interrupting, "Of course, but when the time comes, you must keep your word." As he spoke, he raised the ice spear in his hand, ready to strike.
At this time, everyone only heard a "boom" sound, and the stone wall not far away was suddenly blasted open with a big mouth. After seeing the newcomer clearly, people's hearts were tight, it was Teng Long Five Heroes. Xiao Li saw the situation and said, "Got it, another group is coming." Teng Long Five Heroes saw Hong Mao and others, as well as Ri Yue Five People Group, and they were stunned for a moment, but immediately saw the box on the high platform.
"Over there!" Arrow exclaimed. "Sorry, but we must get the Jingyuan Pearl!" They had originally planned to return by the same route when they reached the end, but then realized that time was not enough, so they came up with this method, using their internal energy to blast a hole. Lan Yu snorted, "You really don't know what's good for you." Arrow Ling glanced at her and didn't argue with her, saying:
"Then let's have a fair fight." The Sunday Five nodded in agreement, ready to take their positions. At this moment, the ground began to shake and Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit exchanged a knowing glance. Rainbow Cat spoke up, "Before we start our battle, let's deal with the trouble at hand first." As soon as she finished speaking, everyone heard the sound of heavy objects crashing to the ground, like the footsteps of a massive monster. "What's going on?"
Lan Shui felt a bit uneasy. Hong Mao's sword eyebrows slightly furrowed, saying: "How could the Jingyuan Pearl be obtained so easily? The sound of Teng Long Wujie smashing open the stone wall just now has already startled the guardian beast here."
"I think the cry that Blue Rabbit heard just now was the guardian beast's snore while it was sleeping." The tremors grew stronger, and gusts of wind began to blow through the passageway, causing the torches' light to flicker unsteadily.
