There was nothing wrong with this sentence. Linlong did not know how to reject it even if he wanted to.
Liu Ruolan stood up and frowned. "Brother Xiuqi, Young Master Linlong's strength is average. It will be troublesome if he is surrounded by the Anteaters inside."
Hearing Liu Ruolan's words, Guo Xiuqi said in a serious tone, "Ruolan, Linlong's defensive barrier is the strongest. He's the most suitable person to be at the front. If he's surrounded, there's still a chance of survival. If it's the rest of us, our chances of survival won't be as high as his."
"This …" Liu Ruolan was speechless. She did not know what to say.
"Miss Ruolan, don't worry. Let me hold the front alone. Nothing will happen." Linlong smiled calmly.
Guo Xiuqi was infuriated by Linlong's nonchalant expression.
'You are powerful, but you won't be able to laugh when you touch that thing inside.' He snorted coldly in his heart.
"Young Master Linlong, I will hold the front with you." Seeing that there was no way to change the outcome, Liu Ruolan said with her chest puffed out.
"Linlong, I will go with you." Liu Zong also stood up.
"Forget it. You guys should follow behind." Linlong shook his head and refused.
From Guo Xiuqi's expression, he vaguely felt that something might happen if he went in. Therefore, he naturally rejected the two of them. After all, the cave did not look big. Not only would they not be of any help, they would also be a hindrance.
This was what Guo Xiuqi wanted. Therefore, he quickly said, "Ruolan, you guys don't have to follow. Let him hold the front alone."
Seeing Linlong's determined expression, Liu Ruolan and Liu Zong gave up on this idea.
Then, Linlong walked in alone. Guo Xiuqi brought Liu Ruolan, Liu Zong, and the rest of the seven people behind him. They were not far away.
The cave was not wide. It could only accommodate five people at the same time. It was very humid and dim inside. Linlong could barely see a few feet ahead.
This place was the same as the Valley of Beasts. Divine Telekinesis was also restricted. Otherwise, Linlong would not have to worry about not being able to detect any abnormalities.
The deeper they went, the clearer Linlong could hear the breathing of the Anteaters.
There was no doubt that the Anteaters were still inside.
After walking for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, three shadows suddenly appeared in front of him.
They were the Anteaters that had escaped earlier. Linlong could see the bloodstains on their bodies.
It was already difficult for Lin Long to deal with one Anteater, let alone three Anteaters. Therefore, although he dodged one of them, the other two immediately sent him flying.
Fortunately, Liu Ruolan and Liu Zong had been following him closely, so these three Anteaters had not been able to surround and attack him.
After that, along with the few people behind them, they quickly killed the three Anteaters.
"Do you see that? Letting Linlong be at the front was the correct choice. If it was anyone else, they would at the very least be heavily injured," said Guo Xiuqi proudly.
This left Liu Ruolan and Liu Zong speechless, because this was the truth. If it was anyone else, they would definitely be injured by the three Anteaters' attacks.
After pausing for a moment, everyone continued to advance. Lin Long was still at the very front.
After walking for a period of time, nothing unusual happened.
The deeper they went, the darker the atmosphere became. Someone could not help but say, "Xiuqi, it seems like there were only a few Anteaters that rushed in just now. I think we have already killed all of them. There's no need to go in anymore, right?"
"How can we do that? The orders from the clan are for us to uproot them. We haven't even found their nest, how can we leave?" Guo Xiuqi immediately said.
Although the situation around him made his heart pound, he would not turn around until Linlong had suffered a setback.
The group continued to walk forward just like that.
After walking for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they still did not encounter anything.
They did not encounter anything, but the atmosphere inside seemed to be even darker. Moreover, there was a gust of air blowing out from inside from time to time.
This made everyone's hair stand on end.
"Hiss hiss hiss …"
Suddenly, such a sound came from inside, followed by the sound of something crawling.
At that moment, Lin Long only saw a shadow flash in front of him. It was similar to an Anteater, but its body was two sizes smaller. The beast's head was bright red, and it was already rushing toward him.
It was so fast that he did not have time to dodge, and he was directly knocked to the ground.
When he came back to his senses, the ferocious beast's bloody mouth was already in front of him. He could clearly see the bloody liquid dripping from its fangs.
"It's an Anteater Xenogeneic. Everyone, run!"
Hearing Guo Xiuqi's cry of surprise, many people immediately rushed out.
The only ones who did not run were Liu Ruolan and Liu Zong. They knew how powerful the Anteater Xenogeneic was. If Lin Long was left alone inside, he would definitely die.
Of course, rushing forward would not change the result, but they did not want to watch Lin Long die there.
Liu Zong was the first to rush forward. Liu Ruolan wanted to follow behind him, but the back of her head was hit hard, and she immediately fainted.
It was Guo Xiuqi who had knocked her out. There was no way Guo Xiuqi would let her stay there.
Guo Xiuqi wanted to knock her out and take her away. He did not expect that before he could pick up Liu Ruolan, a shadow would jump toward him.
He was so shocked that he did not care about Liu Ruolan anymore. He quickly activated his own shield.
When the shield was activated, the shadow hit his body and broke his shield. He was so dizzy that he could finally see what it was. The shadow in front of him was the Anteater Xenogeneic.
Seeing the Anteater Xenogeneic press down on him, and its fangs were dripping with blood. Guo Xiuqi regretted it.
If he hadn't asked for it and wanted to mess with Linlong, this wouldn't have happened at all.
Because he had come with someone else to investigate, he guessed that there might be an Anteater Xenogeneic inside.
If there was an Anteater Xenogeneic, it was usually lured out of the cave. If he hadn't wanted to mess with Lin Long, he would not have come in.
But he did not understand why the Anteater did not attack Lin Long first. Why did it suddenly jump out?
Normally, when an Anteater jumped on a person, it would eat that person's body before moving on to the next target. It would take a long time to eat, and it would give them enough time to escape.
Because of this, he had let Lin Long take the lead, and he had risked coming in. He wanted to escape when the Anteater Xenogeneic attacked Lin Long.
He did not expect something like this to happen.
He did not know that the Anteater did not eat Lin Long because it could not bite Lin Long, who had a body skill to protect him.
As for why it did not attack Liu Zong, who was the closest to it, it was because Linlong had stood up to protect Liu Zong. As such, the Anteater's eyes were fixed on Guo Xiuqi, which directly led to the previous scene.
While the Anteater Xenogeneic pressed down on Guo Xiuqi, Lin Long rushed out like the wind with Liu Ruolan in his arms. Liu Zong followed closely behind him.
As the Anteater happened to pounce on Guo Xiuqi in the corner, it had no intention of stopping Linlong and Liu Zong since it was enjoying the delicious food in front of it.
