"Thunder Spirit King!"
The Shield King and the Iron Hand King both held their fists at the Thunder Spirit King to show their respect.
Although the skinny elder did not hold his fists together, nor did he say anything, his expression was extremely serious. He could clearly tell that the thunder spirit king was unpredictable, more powerful than any of the half step king warriors he had seen before. It was so powerful that it was hard to predict.
"What is going on here?"
The Thunder Spirit King nodded as he came to the top of the cave with his hands behind his back.
Guang Lin King said, "There is a predator queen inside, and dozens of people have already died in her hands. Of course, with your power, the predator queen would not be able to do anything to you."
The Thunder Spirit King waved his right hand, "One predator queen is not scary. What is scary is that there is more than one inside." Even if one predator queen could bring him some trouble, it would be very limited. If there were two or three of them, then it would be a huge problem.
"Thunder Spirit King, I am Moqi Hu. In my opinion, we should wait for another group of people to come, and then we will all go in together." Moqi Hu was a demi beast king from the Sky Tiger race. He could tell that the predator queen was in the cave, and it would be impossible to attack it from the outside. So, the only thing they could do was to go in with brute force. Of course, they would need to have enough people. That way, even if some people would die, it would only be a small portion of them, and the rest would be able to make it through. Most importantly, with the Thunder Spirit King, one of the most powerful demi king warriors, being here, it would be a lot safer.
"Brother Moqi is right. The cave is deep and unpredictable. Staying outside would be a waste of time." The one who answered was the Ice Pavilion demi king warrior, the Ice Spear King. The Ice Pavilion was one of the top nine martial schools, and their head disciple Duan Lengya had even lost an arm to Ye Chen.
"Since that is the case, let's wait until there are more than twenty-five people."
The Thunder Spirit King nodded.
Time passed slowly as everyone waited quietly.
"Remember, don't stay too far away from me." Going through the cave might be the most dangerous thing to do in the forbidden place. Even with the Sky Hammer in her hand, Qing Liu might not be able to make it out alive.
"Yes, teacher!"
"Senior, don't worry."
Yan Fengfeng and Murong Qingcheng both nodded.
Ye Chen didn't say anything. He was meditating and cultivating. Although breaking through to the next realm was about success when the conditions were right, sometimes it was also about luck. If luck was on his side, he could break through in the blink of an eye. If he could break through now, Ye Chen's strength would naturally increase greatly, which was a good thing.
After two hours, the number of people finally exceeded twenty-five.
"Everyone, the Hunter's Nest is extremely dangerous. If you go in alone, you will definitely die. If you go in together, you will only have a fifty-fifty chance of survival. I still stand by my words, those who don't dare should not come looking for the Tomb of Emperor of Four Extremes, because they do not have the qualifications."
Guang Lin Wang was very eloquent. With just one sentence, a lot of people who were hesitating had made up their minds. After all, he was right. There were countless treasures in the Tomb of the Four Extreme Emperor. However, the more treasures there were, the more dangerous it would be. Without effort, there would be no return. Since they were already here, they had to give it their all.
"Alright, let's charge together."
Swish swish swish!
Just as Guang Lin Wang finished his sentence, everyone jumped down into the cave. Among them, the Thunder Spirit King was the fastest, leading the way. He had the power to do so.
Then, it was Guang Lin Wang, Moqi Hu, and the Ice Spear King. They were all trying to get close to the Thunder Spirit King.
"Ah, there is still not enough time!"
While he was meditating, Ye Chen already had a feeling that if he had enough time, he would be able to break through to Late Seas of Souls Realm. Even if he did not have one hundred percent confidence, he would have at least fifty percent confidence.
Twenty five people jumped into the massive cave like a small rock being thrown into the ocean, not making any waves at all.
Without a sound, everyone fell into the deep darkness.
Of course, looking from the outside, it was indeed pitch black. But, once they got in, it was not so dark that they could not even see their fingers. They could still see one thousand meters clearly. But, what made them curious was that they could not see anything on the surface of the cave at all. It was pitch black as if it could devour any kind of light.
Whoo! Whoo!
Yan Fengfeng and Murong Qingcheng were breathing very fast, and their hearts were beating very fast. It was not that they had not faced life and death situations before, but it was always in the light. But right now, they were in the dark, and they did not know where the predators would attack from or when. The unknown was always scary. Even Yan Fengfeng and Murong Qingcheng were no exception.
Normally, the two's mentality was not that different from Ye Chen's. But right then, the real difference was finally revealed.
Among the five, Qing Liu and Sun Tianlang were both breathing a bit faster. Only Ye Chen was able to keep his heart rate normal. For him, being nervous would affect his performance. It would slow down his thinking and slow down his movements. Even if it was only one percent, it would be enough to kill him.
"No wonder my soul power could not reach out, and I could only see things with my eyes. It turns out that there are soul stone mines everywhere." Ye Chen finally knew why he could not see the walls of the cave. Most of the stones on the walls were minerals that contained soul stones, and the soul power would be greatly restricted. Soul stones could not only block out soul power, but also devour light. Without light, the eyes would naturally not be able to see the walls of the cave.
Ye Chen could tell that there was a soul stone mine here because he had gotten a lot of soul stones in the Savage Ruin Ancient Place, so he was not a stranger to this kind of situation.
"But, this cannot stop me."
His pupils turned silver white, and wherever Ye Chen's eyes could see, the cave was all white, like a black and white world. Nothing could escape from his eyes. The only downside was that it was not as wide as the coverage of his soul power. After all, Ye Chen only had a pair of eyes, and it would be impossible for him to see everything in every direction.
Almost at the same time, a pair of gold light beams shot out of Murong Qingcheng's eyes. It was like two small searchlights, drawing a golden trace in the darkness.
…
There were countless black holes on the walls of the cave, and they were all connected. The smallest one was at least ten meters in diameter, and the biggest one was at least ten meters in diameter.
The black shadow moved, and a round object that was about seven meters in size moved to one of the holes, its head poking out.
In the red vision, the figures of the thunder spirit king and the others appeared.
Swish!
Opening its mouth, the round creature shot out a huge white web, covering towards the thunder spirit king and the others.
"Open!"
The thunder spirit king's reaction was extremely fast. He took out his long blade and slashed at the center of the spider web. It had not only cut the spider web into two, but the horrifying thunder power had also burned half of the spider web.
It was not over yet. The thunder spirit king then threw out a second blade attack. The blade Qi followed the spider web and attacked towards the round creature, which was the Predator.
The Predator immediately retracted its head and jumped into the deep part of the black hole.
There was a cracking sound.
A hundred meters long and a couple of meters deep crack appeared on the wall of the cave. The thunder power was spreading everywhere.
"Great master, save me!"
Although the spider web had been cut into two, and half of it had been burned, the remaining two ten meters wide web still covered the two top master level warriors behind Guang Lin King and Ice Spear King.
Being covered by the huge web, even if they released their protective Zhen yuan, they would not be able to get rid of it. The huge power contained in the spider web had sent them flying towards the other side of the cave wall.
Guang Lin King and Ice Spear King did not have the time to think before they realized that the two had disappeared from their sight. It turned out that the other side of the cave wall had shot out two beams of white spider web, dragging them into the black hole.
"Damn it!"
Guang Lin King clenched his fists. Before this, their Lin family had only lost one top master level warrior, and now they had lost another one. If they could not get some treasures as compensation, then this mission would not be worth it.
Ice Spear King's expression was even worse than Guang Lin King's. The other master level warrior who had been captured was his junior disciple. If he had known that the forbidden place would be this dangerous, he would not have brought a top master level warrior with him. Just like the Thunder Spirit King, he had nothing to worry about.
Of course, even if he suggested not to bring a top master level warrior, most of the people in the Ice Pavilion would not agree. A big party would usually only have one or two half step king warriors, and it would be impossible for them to send all of them. At most, they would send one. Although one half step king warrior was powerful, there would be no advantage if the enemy had half step king warriors as well. At this moment, it would depend on who had more top master level warriors.
Plus, who would have thought that the forbidden place would be more dangerous than they had imagined? Top master level warriors would not be able to move even an inch.
The Predator seemed to have been angered by the Thunder Spirit King, attacking him from time to time. He had even set up a lot of spider webs along the way.
However, the thunder spirit king was way too powerful. Those spider webs could not stop him at all. They could not even slow him down for a second. Facing the thunder spirit king's counterattacks, the Predator had more or less taken some damage. He no longer attacked the thunder spirit king, but instead turned to attack the people behind the thunder spirit king.
…
On the other side of the cave wall, the Predator did not attack the Thunder Spirit King and the group. His target was the others.
Ah! Ah!
Every scream meant that one person had been caught. So far, there had been seven screams in total, bringing an indescribable horrifying atmosphere to this dark environment.
"Be careful!"
Stepping on his flying sword, Ye Chen looked like a beam of sword light, traveling in the darkness. As he pointed out his sword finger, another flying sword appeared out of nowhere, shooting out sword qi from time to time to deflect the incoming spider webs. With his soul eyes, these invisible spider webs had nowhere to hide, and he had noticed them from far away.
Although Murong Qingcheng's demon eyes were not as powerful as Ye Chen's, she could still see the spider webs. With the two of them there, Qin Liu, Yan Fengfeng, and Sun Tianlang did not have to worry about these spider webs at all. All they needed to do was to follow the instructions and attack.
"Luckily, I am here with them."
Sun Tianlang was extremely glad. If it were not for the fact that he was with Ye Chen, it would not be this easy for him, and he might have been killed already. And this had made him even more determined to stand on Ye Chen's side. As long as he could get some soup, he would be fine. He knew very well that without Ye Chen and the rest, no matter how many treasures he had, he would not be able to bring them back.
Ah!
Screams were heard from time to time. Eleven people had already been caught, which was almost half of the total number.
What made everyone let out a breath of relief was that they had already seen the light, which was bright red.
"We are almost there. Everyone, do not let your guard down."
Qing Liu did not let her guard down at all. Instead, she was getting more and more nervous. Her years of experience told her that when they were about to get out of danger, it was actually the most dangerous moment.
Just as she finished talking, dozens of spider webs covered over. In the deepest part of the cave, besides the two Predator Queens, there were also a lot of Predator Kings.
"No!"
Seeing that they were about to get out of danger, a lot of people subconsciously let their guard down. However, the dozens of spider webs that were coming at them made them feel hopeless.
"Mystical Attack!"
Qing Liu yelled as she held the Sky Hammer in her hand, blasting out a shining rectangular tunnel.
"Come in!"
Qing Liu jumped in.
Ye Chen and the other three followed right behind her.
Boom! Boom!
The tunnel behind them kept on breaking down as the four traveled through it.
