When the few of them arrived at the entrance of the cave, Elder Ma was right behind them. The few of them hurriedly rushed into the cave.
Once they entered the cave, Elder Wang and the others heaved a sigh of relief. The cave was crisscrossed and it would not be easy for Elder Ma and the others to catch them.
Zhou Yingxue and the others, who were familiar with the path, naturally led Elder Wang and the others into the cave.
Elder Ma, who was chasing after them, paused for a moment before he hurriedly rushed in.
Once he entered, his face turned ugly. The cave was crisscrossed and he had no idea which direction the few of them had escaped to.
If he chased after them like this, it would not be good for them to turn around and escape. Such a thought flashed through Elder Ma's mind.
Because of this, he did not chase after them immediately. Instead, he waited at the entrance of the cave for the others to rush over.
Not long after, the people behind him also rushed over.
When they arrived, Elder Ma immediately said to two of them, "The two of you guard the entrance of the cave. The rest of you, follow me in!"
"Yes!" The people replied in unison.
Then, the two people who were named by Elder Ma immediately guarded the entrance of the cave. The rest of them followed him into the cave.
Once they entered the cave, Elder Ma's brows immediately furrowed. He really did not know how to search for those people.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Everyone, split up and form teams of two to search for those people. Once you find them, immediately sound the alarm and let the others go and help!"
It was naturally dangerous to split up. However, Elder Ma felt that with the strength of those people, it was impossible for them to kill two people in a short period of time. No matter what, they should be able to hold on until the others came to help. That was why he made such an arrangement.
Immediately, they split into a few groups and began to search inside.
Not long after, two of them arrived near Elder Wang and the others. Seeing this situation, Elder Wang and the others naturally revealed a look of joy.
Because with their strength, they could completely deal with those two people before the other party arrived.
This was naturally because of their joint attack technique. The joint attack technique could not only be executed by five people, but it could also be executed by four people. It was just that the power displayed was weaker than that of five people.
"Kill!"
Immediately, after Elder Wang gave the order, he and the other three people immediately executed the joint attack technique to deal with the two approaching people.
Seeing the few people rushing over, the two people hurriedly issued a warning. At the same time, they activated the level-4 ice talisman that they had in their hands.
Elder Wang and the other three people also activated the level-4 ice talisman in their hands. In an instant, the small cave was immediately filled with waves of cold air.
The weaker Zhou Yingxue and the other two people could not help but shiver.
On the other side, the two of them thought that they would be able to hold on for a while. However, they soon realized that they were wrong. That was because the Ice Qi released by the other party was much stronger than theirs.
In just a short time, they had been frozen to the point where they could not move.
Then, of them, of who who who of the two people, the two people of of them.
After two blood-curdling screams, the two of them lost their lives.
Even though Elder Ma and the rest had rushed over immediately after hearing the warning, it was already too late. By the time they arrived, Elder Wang and the rest had already disappeared without a trace.
"These people must have used a joint attack technique!" Looking at the situation in front of him, Elder Ma frowned.
He could tell that if it was not a joint attack technique, Elder Wang and the others would not be able to kill the two of them in such a short time.
"Combined attack technique?" Hearing his words, the expressions of the people who had rushed over with him immediately changed.
One of them quickly said, "Elder Ma, if that's the case, let's go together. Otherwise, it will not be good if we are defeated by them one by one."
Elder Ma also saw this, but he did not do so. If he did so, it would be very difficult to find Elder Wang and the others as soon as possible.
He said coldly, "There is no need to go together. Three people in a group will do!"
In his opinion, three people in a group would definitely be able to support them in time.
Even though it was very dangerous, since Elder Ma had given the order, the others could only obey.
Immediately, they were divided into two groups. Each group had three people. As for Elder Ma, he was naturally alone. In other words, there was a total of three groups.
After dividing into three groups, they began to search inside.
Not long after, three of them walked close to Elder Wang and the others.
Elder Wang and the others had a total of seven people together. In fact, they were quite a large target. However, because Zhou Yingxue and the other two were familiar with the inside and it was very complicated, it was naturally difficult for Elder Ma and the others to discover them.
Even though there were three people in front of them, it was still an opportunity for Elder Wang and the others. They were also confident that they could kill the three people in a short time.
Following Elder Wang's order, the four of them immediately rushed out and activated the icy talismans in their hands at the same time.
The three people who were startled naturally also activated the Ice Talisman that they had already grasped in their hands.
In an instant, waves of icy air enveloped the passageway.
Once they experienced the icy air of Elder Wang and the others, the three people's expressions immediately changed. This was because they realized that the icy air of the other party was much stronger than theirs.
Indeed, in a short time, they were frozen to the point that they could not move.
Even though the situation was much better than when there were only two of them, they still could not withstand it.
In the next moment, the three people were killed by Yang Sheng's sword aura.
After they killed the three people and escaped, Elder Ma finally arrived.
He had underestimated their strength! Elder Ma thought to himself with an ugly expression.
Then, Elder Ma's expression became even uglier as he thought of something.
This was because the other three people did not rush over. It was obvious that they had been blocked by the other party.
Sh * t! Greatly alarmed, Elder Ma hurriedly rushed in the direction of the other three people.
However, when he arrived, what awaited him were the three people on the ground.
In other words, in a short time, apart from the two people guarding the entrance, the rest of the people who followed him had all died.
This time, Elder Ma did not dare to stay in the cave anymore. He was afraid that the other party would take advantage of him staying in the cave to kill them.
Immediately, he returned to the entrance of the cave. Seeing that the two people were still standing there unscathed, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Elder Ma, what happened?" One of them saw Elder Ma come out and could not help but ask.
"The others were killed by them!" Elder Ma's expression was ugly as he replied.
"It can't be?" After hearing his words, the two people's eyes widened.
"I underestimated the power of their joint attack. I did not expect that the four of them were actually able to use their joint attack to such an extent." Elder Ma frowned and said.
"Elder Ma, what should we do?" The other person could not help but ask.
"The two of you immediately go and find Elder Liang and tell him what happened here. Then, ask him to send reinforcements!" Elder Ma immediately said.
Originally, he did not want to find Elder Liang. However, he had no choice but to do so given the current situation.
"Yes!" After nodding in this manner, the two people quickly left this place.
This time, Elder Ma stayed at the entrance of the cave. He had already decided that if there was no reinforcements, he would at most enter a few dozen feet. He would definitely not go any deeper.
After some investigation, Elder Wang and the rest understood Elder Ma's intentions. Immediately, their expressions turned ugly.
If Elder Ma continued to stay at the entrance of the cave, they would not be able to charge out.
After all, the joint attack of the four of them was not Elder Ma's match at all.
Although Elder Wang and the rest did not say it out loud, how could Zhou Yingxue and the other two not see through it?
Zhou Yingxue immediately said, "Elder Wang, can you tell me the joint attack technique? Perhaps, I might be able to help you after I learn it."
"Your strength is too weak. It's useless." Elder Wang immediately shook his head.
Although Zhou Yingxue could activate the Grade 3 Ice Talisman, there was still a huge gap between her and them. Therefore, he directly rejected her.
Moreover, the joint attack technique was not something that could be learned easily. Previously, they had Lin Long's guidance, so they quickly learned it.
"Elder Wang, that might not be the case. Perhaps, I might be able to help you after I learn it," Zhou Yingxue said.
It was because of the talent she displayed after mastering her own quiet rune. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said such a thing.
At this moment, Zhang Yue also said, "Elder Wang, let Big Sister Zhou give it a try. She is very talented. Perhaps, she might be able to help you."
Zhang Yue was the same age as Zhou Yingxue, but because Zhou Yingxue was older than her by a month, she addressed Zhou Yingxue as big sister.
After hearing Zhang Yue's words, Elder Wang thought that since there was no way to get out, he might as well let Zhou Yingxue give it a try. Perhaps, there would be a surprise.
He immediately nodded and said, "Alright, then I will teach Miss Zhou your joint attack technique."
He did not say that he would let Zhou Yingxue try it after she learned it. Naturally, he did not have high hopes for it.
Immediately, Elder Wang personally taught Zhou Yingxue the joint attack technique.
Although they were all students under Lin Long, Elder Wang's mastery of the joint attack technique was clearly better than the others. Therefore, he was the best person to teach.
After Elder Wang finished teaching, Zhou Yingxue pondered by the side.
During this process, the others naturally paid close attention to Elder Ma's every move. However, they realized that Elder Ma did not go in at all and did not give them any chance.
Unknowingly, four hours passed. Seeing that no one came to help, Elder Ma felt a little bored and walked into the cave.
Of course, he would not go in too deep.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a sound behind him.
Could it be that someone came to help? Elder Ma's heart was filled with joy and he quickly turned around.
The moment he turned around, he saw an unknown person standing at the entrance of the cave.
Since the other party was obviously from the academy, Elder Ma felt that he was here to help.
He immediately furrowed his brows. "Why are you alone?"
In his opinion, no matter what, Elder Liang and the others would not have sent only one person. Even if there was only one person, the two people he called over would have followed him back. Otherwise, this person would not have been able to find this place.
"Those people were blocked by some beasts, so I came over first," the other party said.
"Is that so?" After hearing the other party's words, Elder Ma's heart relaxed and he immediately said, "In that case, stand guard at the entrance. I will continue to walk in."
Since there was someone blocking the entrance, Elder Ma was not worried about what would happen if he continued to walk in.
"Alright," the other party immediately replied.
After hearing the other party's words, Elder Ma immediately walked forward.
The reason why he walked forward was naturally because he wanted to explore deeper.
Who would have thought that after a few more steps, the other party's footsteps could be heard behind him. It was obvious that the other party was following him.
"What are you doing?" Seeing that the other party did not listen to his orders, Elder Ma was enraged. He immediately turned around and scolded.
What he did not expect was that the other party actually took advantage of this time to rush into the side path.
Elder Ma felt that something was amiss and immediately chased after the other party. However, after turning left and right, he lost sight of the other party.
Could this person be the other party's reinforcement? This thought involuntarily emerged in Elder Ma's mind.
At this moment, he did not dare to continue chasing because if Elder Wang and the others took advantage of this opportunity to escape, he would not be able to catch up.
Immediately, he frantically ran back. When he arrived at the entrance of the cave and saw that there were no signs of anyone escaping, he heaved a sigh of relief.
So what if there are reinforcements? As long as I guard here, you won't be able to come out! Looking at the entrance of the cave, Elder Ma coldly said.
Just as Elder Ma was thinking about this, the person who rushed into the cave was surrounded by Elder Wang and the others.
When Elder Wang and the others saw who the person was, joy immediately appeared on their faces.
They only thought that the person who rushed in was an enemy. Who would have thought that it was Yao Lei who they had left behind in the tunnel.
Seeing the few of them, Yao Lei's face was also filled with joy.
"Yao Lei, how did you find me?" Yang Sheng could not help but ask.
"I waited for a long time in the tunnel and did not see any of you return. Who would have thought that I would go out and take a look. Who would have thought that I would not see any trace of you after I went out? I could not help but worry. As I did not know where to look for you, I could only return to the tunnel and continue to wait. Just as I was about to enter, I saw two people walking and they were talking about a joint attack technique …"
"Originally, I did not want to attack them. However, when I heard about the joint attack technique, I immediately became worried for you. I was afraid that you were trapped by someone. Immediately, I followed behind those two people. They were not strong so I took them out when they were not paying attention. After interrogating them, I found out that you were trapped in this cave …"
"After that, I asked them to lead the way and we came here."
Yao Lei said such words.
After hearing his words, everyone knew how he came here.
"Then, you should have seen Elder Ma at the entrance of the cave. How did you come in?" Yang Sheng asked.
