Looking at the three of them, Brother He asked directly, "What tricks are the three of you trying to play?"
In his opinion, Zhou Yingxue and the other two would not be stupid enough to fight him head-on.
"We're not playing any tricks. We just feel that there's no hope of getting out, so we might as well fight you to the death, Senior Brother He," Zhou Yingxue said indifferently.
"Fight? Miss Zhou, I can't bear to hurt you. Hehe. "Seeing that the three of them did not have any room to play any tricks, Brother He could not help but chuckle.
"I say, Senior Brother He, why don't you take a look at your status? You actually want to touch Miss Zhou. If I were you, I would have found a hole to hide in!" Shen Jun said coldly.
He did not want to anger the other party, but he truly despised the other party.
"Brat, do you want to die?" Hearing that, Brother He was instantly enraged.
Immediately, he took out his level three ice talisman.
What surprised him was that only Zhou Yingxue took out the ice talisman. The other two still stood on the spot without any movement.
"Are the two of you going to send Miss Zhou to her death?" Brother He said coldly.
As it was too dark inside and he was not paying attention, he did not notice that Zhou Yingxue was holding a level three ice talisman.
Seeing that the other party did not notice, Zhou Yingxue did not say anything because it would completely catch the other party off guard.
"With Miss Zhou's strength, she can deal with you alone. There's no need for the two of us," Shen Jun said again.
"Hehe, brat, believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart later!" Brother He said angrily.
The more he looked at Shen Jun, the more annoyed he was. He had already decided to tear Shen Jun's mouth apart later.
As soon as he said that, he immediately chanted a rune term. Opposite him, Zhou Yingxue did the same.
In the next moment, waves of cold air attacked the other party with the two of them as the center.
Once the cold air was activated, Brother He was shocked because he realized that the cold air that Zhou Yingxue activated was not weak at all.
What was going on? He could not help but widen his eyes.
Immediately, he realized that Zhou Yingxue did not activate a level two ice talisman, but a level three ice talisman.
"Miss Zhou, how can you activate a level three ice talisman?" He could not help but shout.
This was an opportunity! Seeing that the other party was obviously distracted, Shen Jun immediately shouted, "Go!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already unsheathed the runic sword at his waist and attacked his opponent.
At the same time, Zhang Yue also pulled out her rune sword and attacked Brother He.
By the time Brother He reacted, the two sword qi had already attacked him from both sides.
This situation caused his expression to change drastically, because the Ice Qi that he had unleashed right now was only on par with Zhou Yingxue's. It was impossible for him to completely block Shen Jun's and Zhou Yingxue's Sword Qi.
Oh no!
While he was shouting in his heart, Shen Jun and Zhang Yue's sword qi had already attacked him.
After two muffled sounds, he was sent flying.
Before he could stand up, Shen Jun and Zhang Yue had already chased after him like maggots attached to the bones.
In the next moment, two strands of Sword Qi struck him once more. For a time, he was heavily injured to the point that he was on the verge of death.
Even at this time, he still couldn't help but ask, "Miss Zhou … You … Why are you able to activate … the third grade ice talisman?"
However, there was no way for him to get an answer. After asking that question, he would immediately die.
At this time, Zhou Yingxue and the other two completely heaved a sigh of relief.
They knew that if it wasn't for the other party's carelessness, Shen Jun and Zhang Yue wouldn't have been able to hurt him so easily.
After looting him clean, the three of them had to face the previous problem, which was how to find Linlong.
All they could do now was to slowly move forward after exiting the cave.
However, after walking for a while, their expressions changed. This was because there were ferocious beasts all around them. Moreover, they were all clearly fourth-grade ferocious beasts, which were not something they could deal with at all.
They could only stay where they were.
Who would have thought that they would soon be unable to stay there any longer? This was because a few ferocious beasts were heading in their direction.
Helpless, they could only retreat and eventually retreated to the cave from before.
What they didn't expect was that the ferocious beasts actually stopped coming after they arrived here. This way, they were finally out of danger.
When there were no more ferocious beasts around, they continued to move forward.
This time, after walking for a while, there were ferocious beasts heading in their direction again.
With no other choice, they could only retreat again.
This time, it was the same as before. The ferocious beasts stopped after walking for a while and did not continue in their direction.
However, just as they breathed a sigh of relief, a few people suddenly flashed out from the forest at the side.
Seeing these people, their expressions immediately changed. This was because they were all stronger than them.
While their expressions were ugly, they were also extremely puzzled. This was because the person leading them was obviously not from the academy.
Just as Zhou Yingxue was wondering who they were, a person from the academy looked at them and said coldly, "Why are you guys still in the Catacombs?"
"Senior brother, we just want to hunt more ferocious beasts," Shen Jun hurriedly said.
"Hunt more ferocious beasts? This is the west. With your strength, coming here is completely suicide! "Hearing Shen Jun's words, the other party could not help but be suspicious.
"We originally wanted to hunt ferocious beasts in the central region, but we accidentally encountered a few fourth-grade ferocious beasts in the central region, and then we were chased here," Zhang Yue said.
"There are fourth-grade ferocious beasts in the central region?" The other party was suspicious again.
"We don't know why either," Shen Jun said.
"Alright, then leave this place quickly. We didn't encounter any ferocious beasts along the way, so you guys can leave directly," the other party said.
This naturally made Zhou Yingxue, Shen Jun, and Zhang Yue heave a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, senior brother," Shen Jun hurriedly said.
Immediately, the three of them walked behind the other party.
At this moment, one of the other party suddenly said, "Wait!"
The person who had been speaking could not help but look at that person and ask, "Yes, what's wrong?"
That person walked over and whispered a few words in the ear of the person who had been speaking. Hearing that person's words, the person who had been speaking shifted his gaze to Zhou Yingxue and the other two.
Looking at the other party's gaze, Zhou Yingxue and the other two felt that they were in trouble.
In the end, the person's gaze fixed on Zhou Yingxue and said, "Miss, are you Zhou Yingxue?"
"Yes," Zhou Yingxue said respectfully.
"Yes." The person nodded, then looked at Shen Jun and Zhang Yue and said, "Are the two of you Junior Brother Shen Jun and Junior Sister Zhang Yue?"
"Yes," Shen Jun and Zhang Yue nodded.
It was obvious that the second person who had spoken had seen through their identity and informed the first person.
Hearing their words, the other person who was obviously not from their academy suddenly said, "Since it's Miss Zhou and the other two, then we can't let them leave just like that!"
"That's right!" The person who had been speaking immediately nodded.
"Senior brother, why is that?" Shen Jun couldn't help but ask.
"Why?" The person who wasn't from their academy immediately said coldly, "It's very simple. All of you are related to Linlong, so it's definitely not right for you to appear here. So how can we let you leave just like that?"
This person was from the Yang Clan. The Yang Clan had previously understood Linlong and knew that Zhou Yingxue and the other two were related to him.
Because he didn't know Zhou Yingxue and the other two, he didn't know their identities. Now that he knew their identities, how could he let them leave?
"We only know Linlong. How is it related to him?" Shen Jun and Zhang Yue hurriedly said.
"Haha, do you think I don't know?" The person from the Yang Clan immediately sneered, "One of the two of you was even saved by him. How can it not be related? As for Miss Zhou, there's no need to talk about her. Previously, you waited for Linlong in the library for a long time, and everyone in the academy knows about it! "
Hearing his words, Zhou Yingxue and the other two's expressions changed drastically.
At this moment, Shen Jun couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, you aren't from our academy. Do we need you to care where we go?"
"You don't have to care about that. In short, this team is now listening to my orders!" The other person said coldly.
"That's right, we all have to listen to Big Brother Pei's orders," the few people who followed him also said.
This naturally made Zhou Yingxue and the other two's expressions even more unsightly.
Subsequently, Big Brother Pei said, "Bring them along first. We'll inform Elder Liang when we see him!"
"Yes!" The others hurriedly responded.
Although they didn't know who Elder Liang was, it was obvious that nothing good would come out of meeting him. However, Zhou Yingxue and the other two had no choice but to follow behind them.
It was already good enough that they didn't tie up their hands and feet.
The people who were brought in were divided into several groups by Elder Liang. This group happened to be walking in this direction, so they bumped into Zhou Yingxue and the other two.
This group of people were all people who could activate grade 4 frost talismans. They were much stronger than Zhou Yingxue and the other two.
Therefore, even if their hands and feet weren't tied up, they didn't dare to act rashly. They could only see if there was an opportunity to escape.
In the beginning, they still had some hope. After all, these people could only activate grade 4 frost talismans. If they encountered a group of grade 4 dire beasts that could activate grade 4 dire beasts, they could still take advantage of the chaos to escape.
However, they soon despaired because not long after, an elder from the academy joined their group. This elder was a powerhouse who could activate grade 5 frost talismans.
With this elder around, they didn't even have the slightest chance of escaping.
This elder obviously knew Zhou Yingxue, and after hearing Shen Jun and Zhang Yue's identities, his eyes lit up.
He immediately walked in front of the three and asked, "Did you enter the Catacombs to look for Linlong?"
"Elder Ma, it's nothing. We just wanted to come in and hunt the dire beasts." Shen Jun quickly denied it.
However, the other party didn't believe him. However, he didn't interrogate the three of them. It was obvious that he wanted to wait until he saw Elder Liang.
After that, the group continued to move forward.
They didn't realize that there were four people following behind them. These four people were Elder Wang, Yang Sheng, Shi Xu, and the others. Only Yao Lei was missing.
The reason they were here was because the secret passage had collapsed for some reason after Linlong's death.
After the collapse, a passage appeared in the other direction. The few of them immediately walked towards that passage. After walking for a while, they discovered a fork in the road. After discussing for a while, they left Yao Lei alone to watch the back, and the four of them continued forward.
After walking for a while, they realized that the end of the passage actually led outside. They wanted to return immediately, but they realized that there were people outside and immediately followed them out.
After following them out to understand the situation, they realized that Zhou Yingxue and the other two had been captured by a group of people. There was even a person in this group who wasn't from the academy.
At that moment, they decided to follow them and wait for an opportunity to rescue Zhou Yingxue and the other two.
What made their faces turn ugly was that there was an elder who could activate a level-five ice talisman behind them.
In the end, they didn't give up. After all, Zhou Yingxue and the other two had a close relationship with Linlong.
"Follow them and find an opportunity to rescue them!" Elder Wang ordered.
After following them for a while, a hint of joy appeared on their faces. Elder Ma had left for some reason.
Once Elder Ma left, they had a chance to rescue Zhou Yingxue and the other two.
Coincidentally, a few more dire beasts rushed toward the group at that moment.
Such an opportunity couldn't be better. At that moment, the few of them waited quietly for the dire beasts to entangle the group.
While they were fighting, Elder Wang gave the order and the four of them immediately rushed over. As those people were being held back by the ferocious beasts, there was no way to stop them from saving Zhou Yingxue and the others.
Elder Wang and the other three easily escaped with Zhou Yingxue and the other two.
Although Zhou Yingxue and the other two didn't recognize Elder Wang and the others, they knew that they were doing this for their own good. Hence, they didn't resist and followed them.
After walking for a while, Elder Wang's face turned ugly. This was because he realized that Elder Ma, who had just left, had already caught up to them.
"Oh no, Elder Ma has caught up!" Elder Wang couldn't help but say.
"What? Elder Ma has caught up?" When the others heard this, their faces also turned ugly.
They couldn't figure out how Elder Ma could catch up so quickly.
If Yao Lei was here, they naturally wouldn't be afraid of Elder Ma. However, Yao Lei wasn't here. The four of them couldn't deal with an expert like Elder Ma with their combined attack.
They could go back to the tunnel that they came out from, but they were a little far away now. They would probably be stopped by Elder Ma before they arrived.
"Everyone, follow me!" At that moment, Zhou Yingxue said.
"Where can you bring us?" Elder Wang couldn't help but ask.
"There's a hole in front of us. The bottom is like a maze. We can definitely stop them for a while," Zhou Yingxue said.
Although they had walked for a while, they were still not far from the hole.
Hence, when they encountered danger, Zhou Yingxue naturally thought of that hole.
"Alright, let's go!" Elder Wang immediately said.
There was no other way but to go to the hole that Zhou Yingxue mentioned.
