As time passed, Cai Lin and the Little Fairy Doctor had also attacked once. However, with their current strength, the damage they could do to the light curtain was negligible.
Hence, the various ancient clans did not wish to waste time and chose to send their own people. Under the substitution mode, the various clans persevered and the tunnel became deeper and deeper.
Cai Lin and the Little Doctor were not angry that the ancient clans looked down on their strength. Instead, they quietly followed behind in a very leisurely manner.
While they were leisurely, the two ladies quietly observed the experts from the various clans.
The Lei clan was relatively straightforward. The Gu clan was afraid of Mu Qingxiao and was more polite to them. The Yan clan and Shi clan remained neutral. The Ling clan was shrouded in silver robes and was unusually mysterious.
As for the Yao clan, the two men seemed to be six star Dou Zuns. On the surface, their fighting strength appeared to be inferior to the experts from the various clans. However, there was a rich sense of superiority between their brows.
Perhaps it was because they were alchemists.
"Chi chi …"
The deafening roar stopped. Gu Xuan frowned. He withdrew his hand and looked at the light curtain on his left. He was shocked to discover that there was a layer of faint energy liquid seeping out.
After observing for a moment, Gu Xuan's face turned black. It instantly became extremely ugly. The experts from the various clans were a little confused.
"I did not notice it along the way. It seems that the deeper we go, the thicker the light curtain becomes. The light curtain here … seems to be closing!"
The expressions of the experts from the various clans suddenly changed after these words sounded. Their heads felt a little numb.
The light curtain was closing. Did this not mean that if they did not quickly open the tunnel, all of them would be trapped here?
Although the Gu clan controlled the Heavenly Tomb, Gu Xuan did not know much about the Heavenly Tomb. This was also the first time he had entered. If he knew that it was so dangerous, he would not have taken the risk to enter the third level.
Only Cai Lin and the Little Doctor remained calm in the entire tunnel.
"Wait …"
Gu Xuan lifted his hand slightly. His eyes had become extremely grave as he looked at the light curtain. He immediately said in a deep voice, "There seems to be something within the light curtain!"
Hearing this, Lei Ming looked at Gu Xuan and said, "The Heavenly Tomb has always been controlled by your Gu clan. Is there something inside that your elders have not told you?"
Gu Xuan laughed bitterly and said, "If you tell us about the things within the Heavenly Tomb, there is no value in gaining experience. However, it is unexpected that it is so dangerous."
Boom!
Gu Xuan's words had just left his mouth when he threw a punch at the light screen. Instantly, a crack appeared on the light screen. Vaguely, there was a dense snow-white substance that was wiggling continuously within the crack.
As the snow-white object wriggled, some liquid-like substance seeped out and covered the surface of the light curtain, finally forming a layer of substantial energy.
The moment they saw the snow-white bug, Gu Xuan and the four young people behind him turned pale.
"This is … an Ancient Devouring Insect!"
Hearing the exclamations of Gu Xuan and the others, the experts from the various clans were stunned.
"This is a type of small magical beast that lived in ancient times. Their bodies are extremely small but their numbers are endless. Ancient Devouring Worms, as the name suggests, they can devour everything and continuously secrete pure energy. These things should have gone extinct a long time ago. Why would we encounter them in the Heavenly Tomb …"
As he spoke, Gu Xuan's eyes were filled with despair.
"If I'm not wrong, the light barrier on the third floor is probably created by the Ancient Devouring Insects. We've barged into their lair. If they awaken, our fate will be …"
Gu Xuan did not dare to continue speaking after speaking until this point. However, the experts from the various clans had already guessed the answer.
The expressions of everyone present were extremely ugly. They did not dare to wake the Ancient Devouring Insects and could only remain in this place without moving. If they continued to attack the light curtain, they would definitely have difficulty escaping.
However, if they did not attack the light curtain and break through the tunnel, they would end up being trapped in this place due to their exhausted Dou Qi.
Both of them would end up in a dead end. Moreover, their fates would be incomparably miserable.
The two men from the Yao clan also revealed anxious expressions on their faces. They said, "We should not be talking about this now. Everyone, do not hold back. If we do not break through the light curtain, we will also die. Why don't we take a gamble?"
"That's right. We do not wish to die in this godforsaken place. After twenty years, we will turn into energy bodies and be absorbed by others."
Lei Ming opened his mouth. The experts from the various clans exchanged glances. Their eyes were filled with seriousness.
Gu Xuan spoke in a deep voice, "Let's not wait any longer. Whether we live or die will depend on this. Attack!"
No one dared to hesitate upon seeing this. All of them took a step forward. Vast and mighty Dou Qi surged out from their bodies without any restraint. In an instant, a roar resounded within the tunnel.
"Bang bang …"
The speed at which the light curtain was being opened suddenly increased following the wild bombardment by a group of high class Dou Zuns. Substance energy fragments shot out, dying the ground with a beautiful color.
The light curtain on both sides appeared to have sensed an intense vibration under the wild attacks of the various clans. It vaguely began to wiggle.
In the end, the light curtain on both sides began to move toward the middle at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Increase the speed. An increasing number of Ancient Devouring Insects are approaching."
Gu Xuan's expression was pale. The Dou Qi within his body poured out toward the light curtain while he spoke. However, from the looks of the light curtain closing, it seemed that their actions were a final struggle.
If this continued, this tunnel would likely completely close before they could break through the light curtain.
Lei Ming exhaled a breath of hot air from his mouth. He said, "We definitely cannot continue like this."
"We have no choice even if we cannot. Staying behind will only result in death." The young man from the Yao clan did not dare to imagine such an ending. Where was his high-spirited manner from earlier? He had basically roared out loud.
Cai Lin and the Little Doctor looked to both sides. They were vaguely able to see the densely packed snow-white small insects within the light curtain. That number really caused one's hair to stand on end.
The two young men from the Yan clan continued to unleash crimson Dou Qi pillars. Their tone was incomparably grave, "We must stop the light curtain from closing!"
Gu Xuan shook his head upon hearing this. He said, "Quickly stop. Any attack will be swallowed by the Ancient Devouring Insects. Randomly attacking will only cause them to secrete more energy."
His words had just sounded when the attacks of the young man from the Yan clan were like clay oxen entering the sea. After which, waves of energy liquid began to seep out at an even faster pace.
Panic surged into the eyes of the experts from the various clans when they saw this. These insects might appear inconspicuous, but when gathered together, it caused one to feel despair.
Lei Ming's face was gloomy as he said, "These Ancient Devouring Insects are only on both sides. If there are also some in front …"
However, his words had just sounded when Gu Xuan clenched his teeth and pointed at the light curtain in front of them. There was indeed a group of densely packed figures gathering within it.
In an instant, a cold air surged from the feet of the experts from the various clans to the top of their heads.
The path in front and both sides had already been sealed. The path behind them had also unknowingly closed. They were really trapped in the middle and were unable to move.
