Boom!
A huge rolling stone fell into the bottomless abyss under the broken bridge with a roar right in front of Phantasmal Shadow and her party. The astonishing momentum caused Phantasmal Shadow and her party to break out in cold sweat, even though they had gained quite a lot from it.
Based on the rumbling of the rolling stone, they could tell that it had been rolling for quite a long time. Right then, the sound of a second rolling stone rose from the tunnel! For a period of time, the six looked at each other at a loss. They stopped moving and did not know what they should do.
They sent their fastest person to scout ahead.
But wherever they went, all they saw were smooth walls. The tunnel was slanted upwards, and there was no place for them to hide. In less than half a minute, they were immediately forced to run back by the huge rolling stones.
They went back and forth for more than ten minutes before the rolling stones finally slowed down.
"Looks like we're going to fall behind Mu Clan this time."
Phantasmal Shadow sighed.
Even though they had gotten quite a lot of loot from clearing the puppet beasts in the front hall, she could vaguely guess that the most important quest should still be inside. What happened just now was just a stepping stone.
"They're slowing down! Hurry up!"
Phantasmal Shadow and her party seized the chance to charge forward. Soon, they found the place where All-powerful Medicinal Stone and the others were, but the harsh terrain still made them feel dejected. They rushed to the front and began arranging people to avoid the rolling stones. But the rolling stones were too fast, and Phantasmal Shadow was forced to turn around. She hid in the first pit, and it could be considered as an incredibly dangerous experience.
"The rolling stones are speeding up. Everyone, be careful. Move forward in an orderly fashion. Don't mess up the order!" Once the rolling stones passed by them, Phantasmal Shadow quickly came out and had everyone move forward with a certain distance between them. She finally understood why the rolling stones had not allowed them to discover the shallow pit on the wall when they were outside. Happy and the others might have used this method to slowly push forward.
…
Once they passed through the rolling stone trap, Happy and the others entered a cave in the heart of the mountain with stalactites and water everywhere. The rolling stones behind them continued falling, but the rumbling sounds were gradually fading into the distance. Everyone was temporarily safe.
But the traps in Sky Demon Secret Cave could kill without a trace. They had already experienced it before, and their wariness did not decrease. They did not dare to lower their guard.
They stayed in the same spot for a while and gradually familiarized themselves with the dark environment in the heart of the mountain. All-powerful Medicinal Stone and Happy were still in the lead.
"There don't seem to be any traps here. We should have entered Sky Demon Secret Cave. Everyone, be on guard …"
Before his voice faded away, All-powerful Medicinal Stone suddenly heard wind above his head. A shining sword was about to touch his scalp, but Happy flicked it away with a finger.
"F * ck!"
"Snake!!" It was only then that everyone saw the thing that had been sent flying down. It was a black snake that was completely black. It had practically completely blended with its surroundings and the stalactite. The snake had half a sharp longsword in its mouth, and it shone brilliantly.
"It's a mechanical snake."
"Huh? Why isn't it moving?" Wind Chime's Sound Blade slashed at it, but it produced a metallic sound.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone quickly stopped Wind Chimes and Momo from destroying the small snake in a frenzy. He moved close to the culprit and grabbed it without hesitation.
"Honey Mouth Sword Belly Snakes are rather high-grade mechanical puppets, but they're different from normal ones. They're unique assassin puppets. In certain environments, their concealment abilities are astonishing, and their offensive abilities are astonishing. However, once they're exposed, it's very difficult for them to survive. That's why they can only attack once or twice." All-powerful Medicinal Stone stopped talking for a moment before he said in a tone filled with great luck, "Don't be fooled by just one or two attacks. They can easily kill a Moksha Realm martial artist, and they can't be defended against with normal methods. Fortunately, Happy noticed them in time and blocked them for me, or else, I might already be a corpse."
"That's so powerful?"
Little North felt a little cold! He looked around and became wary.
Wind Chimes and Momo felt their hair stand on end.
"Why did you put it away?"
"Happy's finger attack has already destroyed it, but its core shouldn't be damaged. I want to see whether we can use it once we get out. This thing is rather rare, and it'll be very effective at night."
All-powerful Medicinal Stone carefully put away Honey Mouth Sword Belly Snake into his Universe Bag.
"Everyone, be careful. There might be more Honey Mouth Sword Belly Snakes around us."
Right when Happy finished speaking, he saw Little North suddenly summon three of his precious zombie puppets. They walked in front of him in an imposing manner and lifted a torch. Just as he expected, sword glares appeared frequently, and Honey Mouth Sword Belly Snakes charged at the zombie puppets like moths flying into a flame.
But it could not be helped.
Zombie puppets were not afraid of normal damage. As long as they paid attention to protecting their heads, they would not be in any danger. Soon, All-powerful Medicinal Stone chased after them and happily gathered around ten Honey Mouth Sword Belly Snakes. He was so happy that he could not close his mouth.
Soon, the six of them passed through the heart of the mountain safely. A brazier appeared in front of them, and the place became bright!
Little North had his zombie puppets extinguish the torches in time.
"Why are they all children?" When the six of them hid in a dark spot, they noticed that there were around ten children who looked like they were carved out of jade gathered together in a circular cave in the heart of the mountain.
Behind the group of children was an old monk who looked like a maitreya. He had a funny belly and was dozing off in a corner. He was dressed in the robes of an evil cult disciple.
…
"What's going on?"
"Why are there so many children?"
Wind Chimes and Momo looked back and forth at the children who were gathered in front of them. They were so exquisite that they would make others want to go up and pinch their pink cheeks and small arms and legs.
The two girls didn't notice that while they were unscrupulously sizing up the boys from behind the shadows, the boys all bent their bodies slightly. A few of them took the opportunity to mischievously adjust their sitting positions, looking as if they were about to fall asleep.
"These children aren't easy to deal with."
Silver Wolf saw through the children's identities with just one glance. "Their real age shouldn't be that old. By the looks of it, they might be at the peak of Moksha Realm."
"That's impossible, right?" The two women did not believe him.
"This is Sky Demon Secret Cave. It's the headquarters for Sky Demon Sect to train in secret and strengthen their strength. These children are definitely not easy to deal with. There's no need to say anything else. We've already been exposed. We'll know once we go up and test them." Once he finished speaking, he did not bother hiding his tracks and flew to the seemingly harmless children.
"Ah!" A piercing, childish voice tore through the silence in the cave. The children were startled awake, and they looked as if they had been scared out of their wits. They widened their eyes and clenched their fists while they stared at Happy dumbly.
Happy frowned. 'This damn NPC is just as difficult to deal with. He's really immersed in his role. If it were not for his memories from his previous life, he might not have been able to grit his teeth and attack.
They seemed to have noticed Happy's firm killing intent. When Happy arrived in front of them, the children's innocent expressions disappeared, and in their place were savage and fierce faces. They drew their shining flexible swords from their waists, and with a flick of their fingers, they straightened their swords and charged at Happy like a forest.
"Liar!" Wind Chimes' enraged shout rose. Then, layers of sonic blades and ambushes appeared. Their murderous momentum was unprecedentedly great!
The evil cult children had offended a terrifying woman.
