After walking along the narrow passageway for a while, the few of them arrived at a relatively wide stone cave.
At this point, Mo Linfeng stopped.
One of the three couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Feng, is there nowhere else to go?"
There didn't seem to be any passageway in this stone cave.
"Let me look around," Mo Linfeng said.
Soon, he found a secret door on the wall in front of him. After opening it, he brought the three of them in.
After they entered, Linlong also walked over.
However, just as he entered the cave, the four people who rushed into the secret door suddenly rushed out again and directly surrounded him.
Seeing Linlong, Mo Linfeng frowned and coldly said, "Lin Li, I guessed correctly. It's really you!"
Hearing the other party's words, Linlong couldn't help but smile. "It seems that Senior Brother Feng has already discovered me."
"That's right, I discovered you just now," Mo Linfeng said.
As he spoke, a Shadow Spike suddenly appeared beside him.
Seeing this Shadow Spike, Linlong understood. Clearly, Mo Linfeng was worried and released the Shadow Spike. He didn't think that it would really discover Linlong, who was closely following behind.
One of the other three said coldly, "Lin Li, you're really daring. You actually dare to follow behind us!"
"It's alright," Linlong said indifferently.
"Lin Li, I heard that you have Gold Devouring Beetles. Then let us see them!" As he spoke, Mo Linfeng raised his hand and directly released the other Shadow Spikes.
How could Linlong dare to be careless? He hurriedly released his Gold Devouring Beetles.
In an instant, eight Gold Devouring Beetles appeared in front of the few of them.
"It really is the Gold Devouring Beetles, and there are eight of them!"
Seeing these Gold Devouring Beetles, Mo Linfeng and the others all widened their eyes. They didn't think that what Mo Jin said was true, and even more so, they didn't think that Linlong didn't only have four, but eight.
Mo Linfeng couldn't help but shout, "Lin Li, how do you have so many Gold Devouring Beetles, and can even control them?"
Seeing that Linlong had so many Gold Devouring Beetles, he felt that something was wrong. Originally, if Linlong had four, they could still fight, but if there were eight, it would be dangerous.
"Perhaps I will tell you if you submit to me," Linlong said calmly.
"Submit to you? Are you still dreaming? "Mo Linfeng said coldly. Then, he looked at the other three and said," Everyone, attack together and kill him! "
In order to prevent the three from being too afraid, he added, "With his strength, there's no way he can completely control these Gold Devouring Beetles. Therefore, we must kill him!"
His words really boosted the confidence of these people. In an instant, one of them also released his flying insect, while the other two held their rune swords tightly.
"You've reminded me that I can also release other flying insects." Seeing that his opponent had released his own flying insect, Linlong released his Silver Beetle.
With his current strength, he could only summon the Silver Beetles. Otherwise, he would have to summon the Golden Silk Cicadas and Silver-Winged Ants.
Motherf * cker, is this kid even human?!
Seeing that Lin Long had released so many Silver Beetles, the people present couldn't help but silently curse.
However, they already had no way out. The only thing they could do was fight with Lin Long.
"Kill!" Following Mo Linfeng's furious roar, these people immediately rushed toward Lin Long.
At the same time, their flying insects also flew toward Lin Long.
Lin Long's Gold Devouring Beetles and Silver Beetles naturally met them head-on.
Four of the Gold Devouring Beetles faced Mo Linfeng's shadow thorns, while the remaining four blocked the other two people. As for the Silver-Winged Ants, they surrounded the flying insects released by the other person.
Although there were many shadow thorns, they didn't stand a chance against four Gold Devouring Beetles. They barely managed to fight the four Gold Devouring Beetles to a standstill.
As for the other two people, they were also in dire straits against the Gold Devouring Beetles. They could be injured at any time. Sure enough, after a few breaths, one of them let out a miserable shriek.
As for the other two people, they were also in dire straits against the Gold Devouring Beetles. They could be injured at any time. Sure enough, after a few breaths, one of them let out a blood-curdling scream.
This situation naturally caused these people to panic.
'Motherf * cker, this kid's flying insects are too powerful!' Mo Linfeng exclaimed inwardly.
He didn't think that he would be in such a miserable state after encountering Lin Long.
It seemed that he could only use the Blood Sacrifice Art! Soon after, he steeled his resolve.
He also knew the Blood Sacrifice Art. Moreover, it was stronger than Mo Jin's.
If it wasn't a life or death situation, he definitely wouldn't use the Blood Sacrifice Art. And now, it was clearly a moment of life and death.
Once he made up his mind, he immediately bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he began to mutter.
Once he used the Blood Sacrifice Art, his shadow thorns immediately became more energetic, directly suppressing Lin Long's four Gold Devouring Beetles.
Of course, it was impossible to kill the Gold Devouring Beetles, but it was possible to entangle them and then deal with Lin Long.
To catch bandits, first catch the ringleader. This was Mo Linfeng's current plan.
Soon, several Shadow Stingers surrounded Linlong.
Lin Long hurriedly activated his fire-attribute cultivation method and punched out. The shadow thorns were immediately blocked to the side.
However, he still missed one. This one seized the opportunity and directly pounced towards him.
Lin Long was too weak when controlling the Gold Devouring Beetles and Silver Beetles. Thus, the shadow thorns had a chance.
Lin Long, you're finished! Seeing Lin Long being attacked by the shadow thorns, Mo Linfeng was naturally very happy.
However, what he didn't expect was that after slapping away the shadow thorns, Lin Long was still as lively as before. He wasn't affected at all by the shadow thorns' curse mark.
What's going on? Mo Linfeng was shocked.
"Again!" He ordered the other shadow thorns to attack Lin Long.
He didn't believe that Lin Long could withstand a few more attacks.
However, how could Lin Long's Gold Devouring Beetles give him such a chance? The four Gold Devouring Beetles that were dealing with the other two had already pounced back.
Not only that, but the Silver Beetles also did the same. They had clearly completed their mission.
Once these flying beetles returned, how could Mo Linfeng's shadow thorns have any chance? Even if they were on steroids, they still seemed to be on steroids.
It's over! Mo Linfeng's expression changed greatly. He knew that they couldn't do anything to Lin Long.
However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a familiar curse mark on Lin Long's arm.
This was the Phoenix Curse Mark! Thinking of something, Mo Linfeng immediately became extremely happy.
The reason why the Phoenix Curse Mark on Lin Long's arm was discovered by Mo Linfeng was because he was affected by the shadow thorns' curse mark. This shadow thorns' curse mark was a little special. Although Lin Long's body technique blocked it, it still stimulated the Phoenix Curse Mark and caused the silent Phoenix Curse Mark to react. Thus, Mo Linfeng saw it.
Seeing the Phoenix Curse Mark and knowing that Lin Long was affected by it, how could he not be happy?
Immediately, he silently chanted the rune term to activate the Phoenix Curse Mark.
As soon as he silently chanted the curse mark, Lin Long immediately felt a stinging pain on his arm. Knowing that the other party had activated the Phoenix Curse Mark, Lin Long immediately used all his strength to rush towards the narrow passage.
He knew that if the other party completely activated the Phoenix Curse Mark, he wouldn't be able to retaliate. Thus, how could he dare to stay?
After a while, Lin Long rushed out of the passage and arrived outside the stone wall.
At this time, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. He knew that if he didn't react quickly and didn't have the protection of the Gold Devouring Beetles and Silver Beetles, he would definitely fall inside. At that time, he would probably be at Mo Linfeng's mercy.
In the stone cave, Mo Linfeng didn't dare to chase out. After all, Lin Long's Gold Devouring Beetles and Silver Beetles were too powerful. If he wasn't careful, he would lose his life.
Immediately, he hurriedly walked in front of the two lackeys that were struck down by the Gold Devouring Beetles. When he looked at them, he frowned because the two of them simply couldn't be saved.
After thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, the two of them had just faced the attack of the Gold Devouring Beetles.
Each of them had two Gold Devouring Beetles. If they didn't have the help of the flying beetles, even he himself would be in trouble.
As for the lackey that released the flying beetles, he was clearly luckier and was only injured by one Silver Beetle. Now, the Silver Beetle's curse mark that the Silver Beetle had invaded his body had already been removed.
At this time, this person said, "Senior Brother Feng, should we chase after him? That brat doesn't seem to be in good condition."
"No need," Mo Linfeng said coldly.
If they didn't chase just now and chased after him now, what if the other party laid a trap outside? Wouldn't that be courting death?
"Then what should we do?"
"Naturally, we'll enter the core region. If we enter the secret door just now, we won't be far from the core region," Mo Linfeng said.
Hearing Mo Linfeng's words, this person's face naturally revealed a joyful expression.
"However, what if Lin Long follows us in?" This person immediately said worriedly.
"Follow us in? Unless he doesn't want his life anymore! "Mo Linfeng said coldly.
"What if he hides behind us like just now?" this person said again.
"That's a possibility. However, don't worry. Later, I'll seal this stone door tightly. He won't be able to enter. Alright, let's go in." As he spoke, Mo Linfeng immediately walked towards the stone door.
His lackey also hurriedly followed.
In this battle, apart from activating the Blood Sacrifice Technique, Mo Linfeng also lost three Shadow Stingers. However, fortunately, in the end, they entered the stone door without any mishaps.
Once they entered the stone door, he immediately sealed it tightly. After that, he naturally heaved a sigh of relief because Lin Long would no longer be able to enter the core region no matter what.
Outside, after coming back to his senses, Lin Long carefully walked inside. This accident made him feel even more pressured. He had to enter the core region no matter what and remove the phoenix mark on his body.
Using his divine will, Lin Long, who took one step at a time, quickly arrived at the stone door from before. However, what made his expression turn ugly was that this stone door was clearly sealed tightly. He had no way of entering at all.
Lin Long also tried to attack this stone door, but he realized that there was obviously a runic array around the stone door. The more he attacked, the more tightly it would be sealed.
Hence, he finally gave up on this plan.
Since he couldn't enter here, Lin Long could only think of another way. The connection between the fourth layer and the core region was so wide. He believed that he would definitely be able to find a place to enter.
Subsequently, Lin Long walked around the connection between the fourth layer and the core region. After walking for an hour, his brows were still tightly furrowed.
This was because he couldn't find a place to enter. Such a connection was almost blocked by an invisible barrier. He could only vaguely see the situation inside, but there was no way for him to enter at all.
Suddenly, he heard a series of noises in front of him. It seemed that powerful beasts were chasing something and sprinting toward him.
Looking ahead, Lin Long saw a group of black leopards chasing a woman. That woman turned out to be the person who almost cheated him of a million Yongzhou dollars in the huge pit.
Now, she was obviously injured. It seemed that she would most likely be injured by the claws of these black leopards no matter how much she ran.
Due to the previous incident, Lin Long naturally didn't plan to save her.
Who would have thought that the woman would run toward him at this moment?
As soon as she came over, the woman's eyes lit up because she saw Lin Long.
Even if the other party rushed over, Lin Long had no intention of helping her get rid of these beasts. In his opinion, it was already good enough that he didn't hit her while she was down.
Hence, he directly wanted to dodge to the side.
Seeing that Lin Long was about to leave, the woman hurriedly shouted, "Save me!"
Seeing that Lin Long still had no intention of paying attention to her, she said again, "Save me … I'll tell you the way to enter the core area!"
Lin Long's eyes lit up when he heard this. However, he still didn't make a move. Instead, he asked, "Is what you said true?"
At this moment, the woman had already stopped and was using a rock to face off against the black leopards.
"Of course it's true!" the other party guaranteed.
"Alright then, I'll help you deal with these beasts. However, if you lie to me, I don't mind feeding you to these beasts!" Lin Long said as he walked toward the place where the woman was trapped.
The terrain was very good, and only two black leopards could attack a person at a time. It was the best place for a person to deal with these black leopards.
However, because the woman's strength was too low and she was injured, she couldn't deal with these black leopards.
It was a different story for Lin Long.
As soon as he arrived, he waved the rune sword in his hand and killed a black leopard.
After spending a lot of time, Lin Long finally killed all the black leopards.
The woman behind him had already taken a healing medicine and was sitting on the ground to treat her injuries.
"Take my healing medicine." Lin Long took out his own healing medicine.
"No need." After taking a look, the woman shook her head. It was obvious that she was afraid that Lin Long had done something to the healing medicine.
Lin Long didn't force her. Instead, he said, "Now, tell me, is there any way to enter the core area?"
"You should at least wait for me to recover a little," the woman said helplessly.
"I don't have that kind of patience. If you don't answer, I don't mind throwing you out," Lin Long said calmly.
"That place is where these black leopards chased after us. If I don't recover a little, how would I dare to bring you there?" The woman said gloomily.
"Is that so? All the more reason for you to take my healing medicine." After saying that, Lin Long didn't care about her anymore. He directly pinched open her mouth and then a supreme-grade healing medicine flew into her mouth and into her stomach.
"You …" The woman couldn't help but say angrily.
"Don't worry. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have used such despicable methods," Lin Long said calmly.
The woman didn't say anything else. Instead, she obediently meditated on the ground.
