The battle between the Bone Guards and the Old White Iron Dog caused the earth to tremble. The hall that the Old White Iron Dog was in was constantly shaking, and the surrounding ground was undulating like waves.
Even though Chu Chen had already flown far away and was already a few thousand feet away, he could still faintly feel the tremors from the ground.
In the area that the puppet bat explored, there was a rather special area that was located at the intersection of a few dark regions.
It was also because of this reason that there weren't any monsters guarding this place, making it a relatively safe refuge.
According to the map in his mind, Chu Chen quickly rushed to such a refuge.
This was a stone house that was suspended in the air. In fact, it wasn't appropriate to call it a 'house' because it was a crack formed by a few extremely hard 'Dragon Snapping Stones'.
This crack was extremely small and could only accommodate a few people.
Around the crack, there were some array imprints that could be faintly seen.
"Is this place safe?"
The Bone Guards' cruel and bloody attack caused Lu Yan to have lingering fears. After entering the house, she was placed down by Chu Chen, but she still subconsciously grabbed onto the corner of his clothes. The young girl was obviously still in a state of shock.
"Don't worry. This crack wasn't formed naturally. It was intentionally left behind by the creator of this ancient ruin as a refuge. Do you see these array imprints? These were left behind by the ancient era's almighty experts, and they contain an aura that those monsters are disgusted with. They won't come over. "
Chu Chen gently patted the young girl's shoulder.
Look!
Just as Lu Yan wanted to say something, she saw Chu Chen's expression suddenly change. His figure floated outside the stone house, and his entire body instantly entered a state of alertness.
At the same time, an enormous and violent aura that was like a volcano that was about to erupt appeared on his body. The naked eye could even see layers of golden-red radiance lingering around his palms and fingers, transforming into illusions like the sun, lotus flowers, and light shuttles.
The gloomy space was instantly illuminated by him!
What happened? Did those monsters come over?
Lu Yan's heart suddenly jumped, but she soon noticed that the violent aura around Chu Chen's body had gradually calmed down.
His body also gradually relaxed, and the radiance on his palms also rapidly disappeared.
"So you're here."
With a long and soft cry, a weak figure rushed in and sat on the ground.
It was Zhu Han, who had been severely injured by the White Bone Guard.
Behind him, Bao Shaolong followed in with a frightened face, gasping for breath.
"Is there anyone else?"
Just as Lu Yan finished speaking, she saw three streams of light rushing over. After entering the stone house, they didn't even have the strength to greet them. They sat on the ground and quickly took out elixirs from their storage rings, stuffing them into their mouths as though they were free.
One by one, the cultivators sat down cross-legged, circulating their spirit energy to dissolve the medicinal effects.
These people all had injuries of varying severity, and it looked like they had escaped with great difficulty.
"There are only nine of us left."
Zhu Han let out a long sigh, her face full of helplessness. Then, she sat down cross-legged, swallowed a pill, and circulated her spiritual power.
Chu Chen quietly waited for him to finish adjusting his breathing and open his eyes before asking in a deep voice.
"What's the situation now?"
"It's extremely bad. Many of the monsters in the ancient halls have awakened, and they have sealed off all the escape routes. As for the outermost exit, there are five monsters gathered. Those monsters don't have high intelligence, but they seem to be abiding by some kind of rule and purposely didn't allow people to go in."
Zhu Han's voice had a trace of fatigue, and a red spot could be seen on his forehead with some faint cracks.
"Then what should we do now? If any of those monsters were to come over, we wouldn't be able to deal with them. Right now, those monsters are roaming around!"
The youngest, Bao Shaolong, had a pale complexion. There was a ghastly wound on his left chest, and it looked like he was scratched by some kind of sharp claws. Even though he had swallowed plenty of elixirs, the bleeding didn't stop completely.
As he spoke, he was panting heavily.
"Why were so many monsters awakened? Why did they escape from the ancient halls that they were guarding? "
Lu Yan was only slightly frightened and didn't have any injuries. Thus, her condition was the best.
Now that it was slightly safer, the young lady's wise side started to show.
"We didn't even go deep into the ancient ruins. Strictly speaking, we are still wandering around the outermost area. How could so many monsters be awakened and come out?"
"The ones that awakened the ancient ruins and caused those monsters to leave the seal weren't us."
Chu Chen, who was silently looking at the distance, turned around and spoke out his judgment. "There should be other people in front of us who had entered the depths of the ancient ruins."
"What?!!"
After hearing Chu Chen's words, everyone was shocked. Even Zhu Han was startled as his expression kept changing!
"Junior Brother Chu, you aren't joking, right?"
"Are you speaking the truth?"
The remaining few cultivators didn't expect that at this moment, someone had already entered the depths of the ancient ruins.
"Under such circumstances, this is the only reasonable explanation. Furthermore, that group of people must have come prepared and have a better understanding of the ancient ruins than us. Therefore, they were able to enter the depths and activate the defensive mechanism of the ancient ruins. "
Chu Chen spoke very slowly. It was obvious that he was pondering and analyzing at the same time.
"In any case, we are still safe in this place. Everyone is injured, so let's hurry up and treat them."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he walked to the 'door' and sat cross-legged as a guard for the cultivators.
"There are so many monsters running amok outside, and someone has already entered the ancient ruins. What should we do?"
Among the cultivators, the oldest black-clothed old cultivator had a gloomy face. He said weakly, "We are in a desperate situation!"
The old cultivator said what everyone was thinking. Now that monsters were running amok in the ancient ruins, everyone was like ants that could be trampled to death by the giant statues at any time. They couldn't advance or retreat.
"Is there any way to rush out? Those monsters have just awakened and are fighting among themselves. Can we use the 'Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf' technique to make them kill each other and then find a chance to leave? "
The youngest blue-clothed young man in the crowd coughed up a mouthful of blood and said after clearing his throat.
"This method is unrealistic. Although those monsters don't have high spiritual intelligence, they all abide by the same rule. They mainly kill outsiders and rarely fight against each other."
Zhu Han had a more thorough understanding of the situation and shook his head repeatedly. He looked at Chu Chen for help.
The cultivators also focused their attention on Chu Chen again. They wanted to see what direction this last hope could point them in.
Chu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the dark world outside. After a long while, he opened his mouth to speak.
"Our current situation is indeed ominous. I think that we can no longer escape. I predict that more and more powerful monsters will gather at the outermost exit to guard it. Then, we can only cut off all means of retreat and directly go into the deepest part of the ancient ruins. We have to completely grasp the distribution and structure of the ancient ruins, and act according to the circumstances. Perhaps we can control the ancient ruins from the inside out. Only then can we obtain the only chance of survival."
