Very quickly, Meng Yun and Zhang Lu returned to where Lin Long was. Following closely behind them, Lin Long could see that there were three more people around the area.
After taking a few more steps, Lin Long's face turned ugly when he saw where the three of them were. They were obviously at the entrance to the ancient ruins.
Moreover, the three of them had also sensed the ancient ruins' aura. Therefore, they had been searching there. According to this situation, the three of them would definitely find the ancient ruins' entrance soon.
Meng Yun and Zhang Lu also noticed this, so they immediately rushed towards the location of the three people.
Linlong followed closely behind the two of them.
Very quickly, Meng Yun and Zhang Lu arrived in front of the three of them. Looking at the three of them, Meng Yun couldn't help but frown. He immediately turned to look at Zhang Lu, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and doubt.
The reason for this was because one of the three people in front of him was obviously at the Silver rank.
Knowing why Meng Yun was like this, Zhang Lu hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Meng, Senior Brother Mo and the other two weren't here just now!"
The Senior Brother Mo that Zhang Lu mentioned was the Silver rank person in front of them.
"That's right, I wasn't here just now," Senior Brother Mo said. Senior apprentice brother Mo said, "There was someone else here previously, but he was chased away by the three of us."
Hearing Senior Brother Mo's words, Meng Yun and Zhang Lu naturally understood.
Senior Brother Mo then asked doubtfully, "Based on what you said, you were here just now, but you left. Why did you come back?"
At this moment, he was naturally very depressed. If Meng Yun and Zhang Lu didn't come, the items in the ancient ruins would definitely be his.
Who would have thought that the two of them would actually appear at this crucial moment?
"Just now, we chased after someone else, but we couldn't catch up, so we came back," Meng Yun said with a frown.
Meng Yun was naturally also depressed. If it wasn't for Mo Kai, the items in the ancient ruins would have been his.
Mo Kai smiled, "Since we came here together, it must be fate. Later on, let's rely on our strength to obtain the fragments inside."
"Alright," Meng Yun said without hesitation.
Immediately, the few of them carefully searched the area. Very quickly, one of them opened the entrance.
With a "kacha" sound, an entrance opened beneath the man's feet, revealing a flight of stairs leading downwards.
Seeing this staircase, these people didn't care if there was any danger inside, they all rushed inside together.
Linlong naturally rushed in as well. After all, the situation inside was probably the same as before. The box containing the remnant chapter was just outside, and whoever entered first would benefit from it. If he entered later, the box would probably be snatched away.
Below them was a stone room. It was obviously bigger than the stone room Linlong had seen before. There was nothing extra inside, just a stone platform. On the stone platform, there was a black box without any writing on it.
Obviously, it was the box that contained the incomplete book.
The five people in front were naturally the first to rush inside. One of the people on Senior Brother Mo's side was the first to rush towards the stone platform.
However, just as that person was about to grab the box, Meng Yun's Sword Qi had already struck his back.
"Ah …"
After letting out a blood-curdling screech, the man was sent flying. After falling to the ground, he immediately fainted.
At this moment, Mo Kai just happened to be on the other side, so he didn't take the opportunity to attack Meng Yun.
In an instant, the four of them were in a stalemate. No one dared to take a step forward, because they would definitely be attacked if they did.
At this moment, Mo Kai was naturally filled with hatred. If he hadn't rushed in the wrong direction, he would have taken the opportunity to attack Meng Yun. If that happened, the box would definitely belong to him.
"Meng Yun, you're so ruthless. You actually treated your own junior brother like this!" Mo Kai said coldly.
"Same to you … Mo Kai, if you didn't use such a ruthless method to force the people who came first to leave, how could the three of you monopolize this ancient ruins?" Meng Yun said calmly.
"Hmph!" Mo Kai snorted coldly.
"Mo Kai, let's not fight for now. Let's chase the other people away first." At this moment, Meng Yun said.
"Sure," Mo Kai said.
After saying that, the two of them shifted their gazes in the direction of the entrance. There was a person standing there.
They could feel it the moment they came down, but because their attention was on the other party, they didn't have the time to pay attention to it.
Looking at this person, they couldn't help but frown. This was because this person's face was covered, and they couldn't tell who he was.
What made them heave a sigh of relief was that this person seemed to only have the strength of an Iron Sword Rank, because he had a runic iron sword hanging from his waist.
This person was naturally Linlong. The reason he covered his face was because he didn't want Meng Yun to target him even more.
"Kid, no matter who you are, get out of here right now. Otherwise, we don't mind killing you!" Mo Kai said coldly.
"That's right, get out of here right now, or we'll kill you immediately!" Meng Yun said coldly.
"Sorry, before I get the box, I won't leave." Linlong smiled calmly.
"Hahaha …"
Hearing Linlong's words, Meng Yun, Mo Kai, and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Tsk tsk, kid, your words are quite funny. Do you think you have a chance to snatch this box from the four of us?" Meng Yun said mockingly.
If the four of them were fighting now, the other party would probably have a chance. But now that they were united against an outsider, how could he have a chance?
"Are you sure you won't leave?" Seeing that Linlong still had no intention of leaving, Mo Kai sneered.
"Kid, you're really bold. You actually dare to oppose us." Saying this, Meng Yun looked at Mo Kai and said, "Mo Kai, you and I will send one person. How about we chase this kid away first?"
At this time, it was naturally better for the two of them to deal with Linlong. However, he was afraid that the other party would use this opportunity to rush over and snatch the box, so he naturally came up with this idea.
Mo Kai also had this worry, so he immediately nodded and said, "Alright!"
Saying this, the two of them said to the person beside them, "You go and deal with that kid."
Immediately, Zhang Lu and the other person immediately stood up. Zhang Lu was unwilling, but at this time, how could he dare to say no?
Then, the two of them walked over to Linlong.
"Kid, let us teach you a lesson. We'll let you know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is!" the other person said as he walked over.
Looking at the two people walking over, Linlong couldn't help but furrow his brows. Although his individual strength was much stronger than the two of them, he would be in danger if he got tangled up with them at this time.
However, he already had a plan. He immediately pointed at the stone platform and shouted, "Did someone snatch the box?"
Although they didn't believe Linlong's words, Meng Yun and the other three still turned their heads to look at the stone platform. The moment they looked over, their faces immediately darkened. That was because the stone platform was empty, and there was only a box there. How could the box have been snatched away?
"Kid, it seems like you're really courting death!" Meng Yun couldn't help but angrily say.
Zhang Lu and the other person walked over quickly.
At this moment, Meng Yun suddenly felt as if a black shadow had flashed past him. He hurriedly looked towards the stone platform, and his expression changed when he saw it. That was because a black monkey had already scurried onto the stone platform and grabbed the box in its hand.
Mo Kai also immediately shifted his gaze to the black monkey.
"Bastard, quickly put that box down or I will kill you!" Meng Yun angrily said to the black monkey.
At this moment, the two of them didn't look at Linlong anymore. They were worried that the black monkey would accidentally escape.
What made them heave a sigh of relief was that the black monkey's strength wasn't strong. It was only at the bronze sword rank.
If it wasn't for the fact that Meng Yun was wary of Mo Kai, he would have already attacked. Of course, Mo Kai was also wary of Meng Yun.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Lu and the other two also stopped and turned their heads to look over.
"Meng Yun, let's kill this monkey first!" Mo Kai frowned.
"Alright." Mo Kai nodded.
Immediately, the two of them took out their silver swords.
Just as the two of them had not completely taken out their silver swords, the black monkey made an unexpected move. It threw the black box in its hand. It was thrown out between Mo Kai and Meng Yun. The direction it was thrown was not in the direction of Zhang Lu and Linlong, but in the other direction.
Because the black monkey's throw was too sudden, Mo Kai and Meng Yun were actually unable to react in time.
Zhang Lu and the other person immediately rushed towards the black box after being stunned for a moment.
At this moment, they were even closer to the black box than Mo Kai and Meng Yun, and even to Linlong.
The person closest to the black box was the one on Mo Kai's side, so he rushed to the front.
This situation naturally made Meng Yun anxious. He anxiously shouted, "Zhang Lu, stop him!"
Even if Meng Yun didn't say anything, Zhang Lu wouldn't let that person easily snatch the black box. Therefore, he directly attacked that person with his sword.
Feeling the sword qi coming from behind, that person didn't dare to rush forward anymore. He hurriedly dodged to the right. His dodging naturally made Zhang Lu extremely happy. This way, he would be the one most likely to obtain the black box.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed over to his side. Before he could react, the figure had already rushed to the side of the black box and snatched it.
This person was naturally Linlong. With his speed, it was extremely easy for him to snatch the black box before Zhang Lu did.
"Damn brat, you're courting death!" Zhang Lu couldn't help but roar in anger as he directly rushed over.
He wasn't the only one who rushed over. Meng Yun and Mo Kai also rushed over.
It was also at this moment that Linlong made a move that surprised everyone. He threw the black box in his hand to the other side.
Meng Yun, Mo Kai, and the others naturally didn't know what Linlong was doing. However, how could they have the time to care about him? They immediately turned around and rushed toward the black box.
However, just as they moved, a black figure had already grabbed the black box and directly rushed toward the entrance.
"Chase!"
Following such a roar, Meng Yun, Mo Kai, and the others immediately gave chase.
That black figure was the black monkey from before.
However, because they were too far away, the black monkey clearly rushed to the entrance before them. By the time they rushed over, the black monkey had already disappeared without a trace.
The anxious Meng Yun and Mo Kai naturally chased after it.
As for Linlong, he also rushed out at the same time as Zhang Lu and Mo Kai.
After the four of them rushed out, they discovered that the black monkey had fled to the left, and there seemed to be three people in that direction.
"Hurry up and stop it!" Meng Yun and Mo Kai didn't care whether they recognized the three people or not.
As they shouted, they chased after the black monkey.
When the three people saw this situation, they also brandished the runic iron swords in their hands to deal with the black monkey. What Linlong didn't expect was that the black monkey was actually injured by one of the people's sword qi. He didn't know whether it was because the black monkey was in too much of a hurry or not.
Fortunately, the injury didn't seem to be serious, and the black monkey quickly fled. This allowed Linlong to heave a sigh of relief.
If the black monkey was stopped, the black box in the black monkey's hands would definitely fall into the hands of the three people.
Seeing that the black monkey continued to flee, the group of people naturally chased after it.
As for Linlong, he also followed behind them. However, he didn't dare to get too close to them because he would be in trouble if they turned around and attacked him.
After all, there were two Silver rank experts among them.
After following for a while, Linlong completely heaved a sigh of relief because the black monkey had shaken them off without a trace.
Since they couldn't find the black monkey, Meng Yun, Mo Kai, and the others could only stop.
After stopping, Zhang Lu said, "I think that masked person should be in cahoots with this black monkey."
"That's right, they should be in cahoots." Mo Kai also nodded.
"Then let's go back and look for that guy. If we find him, we should be able to get the black box!" Meng Yun also said.
With that said, the group of people immediately turned around. Although Linlong was following behind them, they couldn't find him.
After searching for a while, they could only stop helplessly when they couldn't find Linlong.
Could it be that the black monkey that snatched the black box was the same black monkey that stopped me? At this moment, such a thought suddenly appeared in Meng Yun's mind.
This thought immediately made him think of Linlong.
Could it be that this monkey belonged to Lin Li, and that was why it suddenly stopped him? If that was the case, the masked person just now should be Lin Li. Only he would have that kind of speed and movement technique! The more Meng Yun thought about it, the more he felt that the masked person was Lin Li. In other words, the black box was snatched by Lin Li's black monkey.
Good lad, you actually tamed such a ferocious beast. I really underestimated you! Meng Yun's expression was ugly as he thought to himself.
Of course, this was only his guess. He would only know if he really caught Linlong.
However, he didn't intend to tell Mo Kai about this because Linlong had the black box. If he told Mo Kai and Mo Kai caught Linlong, the remnant chapter in the black box wouldn't be his anymore.
Hence, he hid his selfish motives.
If not for the black box, he would definitely tell Mo Kai that the person was Lin Li and ask Mo Kai to help him deal with him.
Since they couldn't find Linlong and the black monkey, they were unwilling to give up. Hence, they continued to search around.
At this time, Linlong had already made a big circle and was chasing after the black monkey.
