After running for a while, the trio's expressions changed drastically because the other party's footsteps were getting closer and closer.
At this moment, Brother He's proud voice came from behind. "Don't run, you guys can't escape from my palm!"
Zhou Yingxue said to Zhang Yue and Shen Jun, "Don't worry, we'll just escape to the west. We're not a match for those beasts in the west and this person is no match for them either!"
"En." Zhang Yue and Shen Jun nodded heavily.
That being said, the trio was still fleeing from the central region near the western region. After all, they might not be able to return if they entered the western region. Therefore, they would not rush to the western region unless it was a critical moment.
After chasing for a while, they could even see the figure of the person behind them when they turned around.
If they continued to run like this, the other party would definitely catch up to them. Therefore, they could only escape to the western region! This thought flashed in Zhou Yingxue's mind.
She immediately said, "Let's rush to the western region!"
"En." Zhang Yue and Shen Jun nodded at the same time and then followed Zhou Yingxue into the western region.
Brother He furrowed his brows when he saw the three of them rushing in. However, he only paused for a moment before he followed Zhou Yingxue and the others in.
"This person is really going all out!" Shen Jun couldn't help but exclaim when he saw Brother He rushing in behind them.
As he spoke, he naturally followed behind Zhou Yingxue.
Just like that, the trio ran in front while Brother He chased after them.
What they didn't expect was that no beasts came to deal with them after rushing into the western region for a while.
In this way, Brother He was getting closer and closer to them.
Could it be that we're going to be stopped by Brother He before we even encounter a level four beast? Such a situation made Zhou Yingxue and the other two frown.
After running for a while, there were still no beasts coming.
Seeing that Brother He was about to catch up to them, Zhou Yingxue could only bring Shen Jun and Zhang Yue into a cave in front.
At this time, she didn't care if there were any beasts in the cave or if it was a dead end. In any case, she had to rush in first.
Shen Jun and Zhang Yue had no choice either, so they followed closely behind Zhou Yingxue.
As soon as they rushed in, the trio was surprised because the cave below was actually very wide and crisscrossed, looking like a maze.
Maybe this place can help us escape from their clutches!
With that thought in mind, Zhou Yingxue said to Shen Jun and Zhang Yue, "Both of you, follow me closely!"
She was afraid that the two people behind her would lose sight of her.
Shen Jun and Zhang Yue naturally stopped beside Zhou Yingxue and followed closely behind her.
Zhou Yingxue didn't care about the direction or whether they would get lost. The moment they entered, they turned left and right, trying their best to get rid of Brother He.
This method seemed to be successful. After a while, they didn't notice Brother He following behind them.
However, just as he heaved a sigh of relief, Brother He's footsteps sounded from another direction.
It was obvious that the other party was still searching the area. If he wasn't careful, he might run into the other party.
Next, Zhou Yingxue and the other two played hide-and-seek with the other party. Once the other party got close, they would immediately turn left and right, making it impossible for the other party to stop them.
Two hours later, Brother He, who felt that this method wasn't working, threw down some harsh words.
"I'll wait for you at the exit. I don't believe that you'll never leave this cave!"
With that said, the other party walked further away. It was obvious that he was waiting for them at the exit.
Seeing that the other party had left, Zhou Yingxue and the other two naturally heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they naturally frowned because if the other party was really guarding the exit, they wouldn't be able to get out at all.
"This won't do. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be for Brother Lin," Zhou Yingxue said with a frown.
"Yes." Zhang Yue nodded.
Although they had enough dry rations to last them for a long time, the longer they persisted, the more dangerous it would be for Lin Long.
"How about this? I'll work hard to improve my strength inside and see if I can raise my strength to the point where I can activate the Grade 3 Ice Talisman. If that's the case, with the two of you, we should be able to deal with Brother He," Zhou Yingxue said.
"Miss Zhou, Grade 3 Ice Talisman isn't that easy to master," Shen Jun said after hearing her words.
"I know, but we can only use this method now," Zhou Yingxue said in a deep voice.
She had completely mastered the Grade 2 Ice Talisman, so it was possible for her to practice the Grade 3 Ice Talisman.
Of course, she was also confident in herself because the Absolute Silence Rune that she had previously mastered made it easier for her to master the Ice Talisman.
Otherwise, she wouldn't even have the slightest intention to do so.
She immediately said to Zhang Yue and Shen Jun, "Both of you, keep watch for me. I'll focus on practicing the Grade 3 Ice Talisman. Once Brother He comes near, alert me."
"Okay." Shen Jun and Zhang Yue both nodded.
They had no other choice but to rely on Zhou Yingxue now.
Subsequently, Zhou Yingxue focused all her energy on practicing the Grade 3 Ice Talisman.
She had already started practicing the Grade 3 Ice Talisman previously, so she had books about it with her.
Unknowingly, a few days had passed. During this period of time, Brother He, who was waiting impatiently, went down occasionally. However, as it was too complicated inside, he did not find the place where Zhou Yingxue and the other two were.
In that case, he could only continue to guard the exit.
'I don't believe that you won't come out one day!' He said coldly in his heart.
After that, another few days passed.
At this time, the toxicity of the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill in Yang Yanliang and Ren Kaicheng's bodies had begun to take effect. The two of them immediately rolled on the ground in pain.
The Yang family members who were guarding Yang Yanliang's side were naturally shocked, especially Medicine Master Rong. He had studied the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill in Yang Yanliang's body for so many days, but there was no way he could cure the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill in Yang Yanliang's body.
'Damn it, where did that kid get the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill from!' Medicine Master Rong could only curse in his heart.
"Looks like the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill wasn't a bluff. It can really cause its toxicity to take effect within half a month!"
The surrounding people were discussing like this.
This situation made the dean and the elders of the Mask Academy even more determined to capture Linlong.
At this time, Elder Liang from the Yang family who came with Medicine Master Rong had already found the dean, Zhang Yunfeng.
"Dean Zhang, Yan Liang is about to die. We can't sit back and do nothing anymore. I hope that the dean will allow the Yang family to go to the Catacombs! "Not only that, but also ask the dean to send powerhouses with us! We can't keep waiting at the entrance of the Catacombs! "Elder Liang said directly.
The toxicity in Yang Yanliang and Ren Kaicheng's bodies had also let Dean Zhang Yunfeng know that this could not go on. He immediately nodded and said, "Alright, I'll send two powerhouses who can activate Level 5 Frost Talismans with you!"
"Thank you, Dean Zhang." Elder Liang nodded.
Truth be told, he was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Yunfeng. He felt that Zhang Yunfeng should have sent powerhouses to capture Linlong a long time ago.
However, this was the Mask Academy's territory after all. Therefore, he dared not express his dissatisfaction.
At that moment, Zhang Yunfeng called for two elders who could activate Level 5 Frost Talismans. Apart from that, he also called for some people who could activate Level 4 Frost Talismans.
With these people and some people from the Yang family, they could totally do whatever they wanted in the Catacombs except for the northern part.
In their minds, Linlong would at most stay in the western part of the Catacombs.
Therefore, this trip was naturally to search the western part of the Catacombs first.
Just as they were about to enter, an elder suddenly said, "Dean, I think Linlong has already gone to the northern part of the Catacombs!"
"That Linlong can only activate Level 4 Frost Talismans. How can he go to the northern part of the Catacombs?" Hearing this, someone could not help but ask.
"That may be the case, but don't forget that Linlong and the others can use the Joint Attack Technique. Apart from that, there is a secret in the Catacombs that only a few people know about. The palace in the western part of the Catacombs has a secret passage that leads to the palace in the northern part!" The elder replied.
The reason he said this was because even some elders didn't know about this secret passage.
"However, why is that kid going to the northern part? With his strength, can't he hunt Level 5 vicious beasts? "Someone asked doubtfully.
"It's very simple. Because he wants to learn Level 5 Frost Talismans. With his status, it's impossible for him to come into contact with knowledge related to Level 5 Frost Talismans in our Mask Academy. Therefore, he can only go to the northern palace!" The elder continued.
"Could it be that the northern palace has knowledge related to Level 5 Frost Talismans?" Someone asked doubtfully.
Obviously, not many people knew about this.
"That's right. The northern palace already has such knowledge. In addition to Linlong's terrifying learning ability, we have reason to suspect that Linlong went to the Catacombs this time to go to the northern part of the Catacombs!" The elder said.
Hearing his words, everyone shifted their gazes to the headmaster.
At this time, Elder Liang asked directly, "Dean Zhang, is this true?"
"There really is such a secret passage. Moreover, the northern palace also has knowledge related to Level 5 Frost Talismans. I didn't think about it because no one has passed through that secret passage before," Zhang Yunfeng said.
"So, that Linlong might have really gone to the northern palace and learned knowledge related to Level 5 Frost Talismans?" Elder Liang frowned.
"That's possible, but the probability is not high." Zhang Yunfeng nodded.
Then, he said, "Therefore, I suggest Elder Liang and you go to the western part of the Catacombs first. If you can't find him, then look for that secret passage."
"Alright." Elder Liang immediately nodded.
After that, he did not waste any more time talking to Zhang Yunfeng. Instead, he led his people straight to the Catacombs.
Once they entered the Catacombs, they immediately went straight to the western part of the Catacombs.
At this time, in the western part of the cave, Zhou Yingxue was still thinking hard.
Seeing this situation, Shen Jun and Zhang Yue could not help but frown.
With every passing moment, they were worried for Linlong.
'It looks like when Miss Zhou will master Level 3 Frost Talismans.' Shen Jun sighed in his heart.
Just as he was sighing, he suddenly saw Zhou Yingxue open her eyes. There seemed to be joy in her eyes.
"Miss Zhou, did you figure something out?" Shen Jun could not help but ask.
"That's right, I figured it out. I believe I'll be able to master Level 3 Frost Talismans soon!" Zhou Yingxue nodded.
Shen Jun wanted to ask more, but he saw Zhou Yingxue take out Level 3 Frost Talismans.
At that moment, he and Zhang Yue did not disturb Zhou Yingxue anymore. Instead, they watched quietly from the side.
Following that, Zhou Yingxue obviously began experimenting. She wasted more than a dozen Level 3 Frost Talismans. When she reached one of them, the Level 3 Frost Talisman that could not be ignited suddenly burst into flames.
What made Shen Jun and Zhang Yue happy was that the Level 3 Frost Talisman triggered an icy aura that clearly had the power of a Level 3 Frost Talisman.
'It looks like Miss Zhou can really activate Level 3 Frost Talismans!' They were all so happy in their hearts.
Next, Zhou Yingxue tried another one. This Level 3 Frost Talisman also burst into flames, and it could also release waves of icy aura.
After that, Zhou Yingxue stopped and said to Shen Jun and Zhang Yue, "Both of you, I can already activate Level 3 Frost Talismans!"
"That's great!" After confirming this, Shen Jun and Zhang Yue could not help but exclaim.
However, Zhou Yingxue changed the topic. "However, I've only just mastered it. It'll be a little difficult to defeat Brother He. I can only rely on your help."
If she was given time, she could definitely surpass Brother He. However, she did not want to waste any more time.
"Alright!" Shen Jun and Zhang Yue nodded without hesitation.
"Alright, then let's head towards the exit immediately!" Zhou Yingxue said directly.
Immediately, the three of them walked towards the exit. Although they were not familiar with the underground cave, they already knew the direction of the exit.
Soon, they arrived near the exit.
Brother He, who was guarding the exit, immediately heard their movements.
It seemed like the three of them could not hold back anymore! Upon hearing such a movement, Brother He was naturally overjoyed.
In order to make it easier for him to take down the other party, he did not make a sound and continued to guard the exit.
However, at this moment, one of the other party said, "Senior Brother He, do you dare to come in and spar with us!"
Spar with us? These words caused Brother He to be stunned.
He could not understand why the three of them, who were previously chased by him, dared to say such words.
After thinking for a while, he directly replied, "Since that's the case, I don't mind teaching you a lesson and letting you know how powerful I am … However, you have to stand in the middle of the passage so that I can see you!"
The passage in the middle was very straight. If the other party stood there, he was not worried that the three of them would be able to sneak away.
"Alright!" Unexpectedly, the other party agreed without hesitation.
Not only that, but he also immediately stood in the middle passage. From the entrance, he could clearly see the three of them.
Without any hesitation, he directly walked into the cave.
