"Crack, crack ~ ~"
The Forbidden Moon Rock Demons let out a heavy sound, their faces filled with confusion.
As Nan Jue mentioned, the Forbidden Moon Rock Demons did not have eyes, and their hearing was terrible. They could only sense the slight movement of the ground when something was moving.
Ai Jiangtu was right in front of them, yet they returned to the walls and went back to sleep after patrolling the area.
"It's working!" Ai Jiangtu raised his thumb at Nan Jue.
Nan Jue smiled and said to the others, "Let's move on."
The group stepped into the orange-red ground. The Forbidden Moon Rock Demons sleeping in the walls on both sides did not wake up.
Using the same method, the group moved around five hundred meters forward. The path gradually turned into a winding path. They needed to work together to pave the way. Luckily, the group had a unique Contracted Beast, Jiang Yu's Night Rakshasa.
The proud cat demon, Xiao Hei, was able to handle the task.
Along the way, the journey was smooth and unobstructed.
However, judging from the presence of the walls, the group could tell that there were more Forbidden Moon Rock Demons here, and they were stronger too. There were a few times where they almost failed to connect the paths properly, resulting in serious trouble.
…
"We're almost there. We should be able to leave the valley once we turn the corner," said Nan Jue.
"The corner is a little wide. I don't think it's easy to place the Elemental Meter there. We need someone to retrieve the one behind us," said Ai Jiangtu.
"I'll go get it," said Mo Fan.
Mo Fan happened to be at the back of the group. He decided to go back and retrieve the Elemental Meter that he had left behind. It would allow them to make it past the corner.
"Once you're done dismantling the Elemental Meter, you have to follow us immediately. Don't stay here for too long," reminded Nan Jue.
"Don't worry, I'm not slow either," smiled Mo Fan.
Nan Jue nodded. The group continued to move forward until they reached the corner behind the wall.
It was the safest spot. Otherwise, once Mo Fan dismantled the Elemental Meter at the back, the whole path would be filled with danger.
Mo Fan walked to the back of the group. He glanced at the orange-yellow sky along the steep path. The sky was long and narrow because of the Wind Element. It was quite a spectacular sight.
"Aren't you going to apologize?" Lu Yilin's voice came from behind.
Mo Fan turned around and saw Lu Yilin standing around seventy meters away with a dark expression.
"Apologize for what?" asked Mo Fan.
"Hehe, what do you think?" Lu Yilin slowly walked to the second elemental meter with a mocking look on his face.
Lu Yilin's intention was obvious. If Mo Fan did not apologize, he would take out the second Elemental Apparatus and let Mo Fan be surrounded by the Forbidden Moon Rock Demons.
The others had already turned the corner. They did not notice the situation.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you a little princess who can't take a little blow. I've realized that not only are you a little princess who can't take a little humiliation, you're also a narrow-minded retard who would threaten me with such a childish thing," Mo Fan was utterly speechless.
"Do you think I don't dare?" said Lu Yilin coldly. His eyes flickered with anger.
"Whatever, but you should know the consequences of doing so," said Mo Fan.
After saying this, Mo Fan turned around and continued to walk toward the Elemental Meter that he was going to retrieve. He was around ten meters away from the Elemental Meter.
He remembered Nan Jue saying that he had to return to the other side of the corner within two seconds after unplugging the Elemental Meter. Mo Fan had already thought of a way to leave as soon as possible.
"Crack ~ ~ ~ crack ~ ~ crack ~ ~"
However, before Mo Fan could reach the Elemental Meter, the stone walls on both sides began to move.
Faces with distinct edges and corners appeared on the stone walls. They were dignified and solemn.
Following that, their bodies were pulled out from the stone walls. They filled the stone walls on both sides. There were so many of them that it was impossible to count them all.
Mo Fan suddenly turned around and discovered that Lu Yilin had unplugged the Elemental Meter from the corner and was staring at him with an evil smile.
Mo Fan was stunned. To be honest, he did not think Lu Yilin would dare to unplug the Elemental Meter. That was because this guy had a stubborn, self-opinionated, yet cowardly face!
Mo Fan had underestimated the narrow-mindedness of this person. He had also underestimated his vicious heart!
"You want me to die?" asked Mo Fan.
"Hmph, so what if I do? Who's the immature one here? Who's the young one?" Lu Yilin gave Mo Fan a cold and disdainful glance before turning around and leaving.
Lu Yilin did not dare to stay any longer, because this place would be devoured by the Forbidden Moon Rock Devils in a few seconds.
… …
"Crack crack crack crack crack!!!"
The stone walls on both sides began to tremble. Countless Forbidden Moon Rock Devils woke up from the stone walls. Although they did not have eyes, they still used their anger to lock onto the intruders.
Lu Yilin had unplugged the Elemental Meter in the middle. Not only was Mo Fan's path in danger, the others who had already turned the corner were also in danger. The Elemental Meters needed to send signals to each other in order to be safe.
"Not good, they've all woken up. Run!" yelled Zu Jiming.
"We're about to be blocked. Let's go to the exit!"
"I'll lead the way. You guys follow me!"
The entire valley began to shake violently. The Forbidden Moon Rock Devils made of stone rushed out from the stone walls one after another. They were like a giant gate, blocking the path forward.
Magical glows flickered brilliantly in the valley. Knowing the situation they were in, the group no longer dared to hold back. They quickly used everything they had and charged toward the exit.
Luckily, they were not too far away from the exit. If they were to charge out at once, they would not be completely surrounded.
Ai Jiangtu and Li Kaifeng led the way, while the rest of the team charged forward. The Forbidden Moon Rock Demons that had woken up were raising five-meter-wide rocks and smashing them into the ground. They were trying to bury the intruders under the rocks!
The Forbidden Moon Rock Devils in front of them lined up and formed a thick stone gate, sealing off the valley. Ai Jiangtu and Li Kaifeng used all their might to smash the gate into pieces to clear a path for the group.
"Lu Yilin is behind us!"
"Help him!"
The team moved back a little. After receiving Lu Yilin, everyone rushed towards the exit in a spurt of energy.
However, as soon as they reached the exit, Nan Jue suddenly recalled that the person at the back was not Lu Yilin, but Mofan. Mofan had gone to retrieve the Elemental Measuring Device.
"Mofan, where's Mofan?" yelled Nan Jue.
Huge rocks were falling from above, and the Forbidden Moon Rock Devils were attacking them from both sides. The place was in a complete mess. No one noticed that Mofan was not with them.
"We can't care anymore. If we don't leave now, we're all going to be stuck in here!" yelled Zu Jiming.
"No way, let's go back," said Nan Jue.
"Take a look at the path behind you. Is it possible to go back?" said Guan Yu.
Nanyu turned around and discovered that the path leading to the corner was densely packed with the Forbidden Moon Rock Demons.
The Forbidden Moon Rock Devils were around four meters tall and three meters wide. They had formed a wall and filled up the entire valley. There was no way to pass through it.
How could it be so easy to go back?
As more Forbidden Moon Rock Devils showed up, the group had no choice but to make their way to the exit.
…
The cold moonlight shone down on the exit of the valley. The exit of the valley suddenly opened up. The ground ahead was as flat as the previous one. Apart from the reddish-orange color of the ground, they could see the horizon with a single glance …
The light of the moon shone on the reddish-orange ground, setting a boundary at the exit of the valley. The Forbidden Moon Rock Devils that were extremely afraid of the moonlight crowded in the shadows of the valley. Even when the intruders were less than ten meters away from them, they did not dare to chase after them, as if they would turn into ashes if they came into contact with the moonlight.
Everyone was soaked in cold sweat. They fell silent as they looked at the valley that was almost sealed off.
"Damn it, what's going on!?" cursed Zhao Manyan.
"Mofan is still inside. What should we do?" asked Jiang Shaoxu anxiously.
"What else can we do? He's dead for sure. We can't possibly go back and save him," said Lu Yilin.
"Damn it, did you do something to him!?" Zhao Manyan grabbed Lu Yilin's collar and glared at him.
Lu Yilin shoved Zhao Manyan aside and said coldly, "What does it have to do with me? Maybe he's just being stupid. He didn't set up the device properly and almost put everyone in danger."
Zhao Manyan swallowed his anger.
He knew now was not the time to lose his temper. He had to find a way to rescue Mofan. Mofan had mastered five Elements. It was impossible for the Forbidden Moon Rock Devils to kill him in a short period of time.
"Let's go up there and pull Mofan out," said Zhao Manyan.
"No, it's more dangerous up there. It should be the territory of the Sun Rock Devils. They are scarier than the Forbidden Moon Rock Devils!" Nan Jue immediately shook her head.
"We'll adjust ourselves and charge in!" said Zhao Manyan.
"We've finally made it out, and you're telling us to charge in?" objected Lu Yilin.
"Sigh, he's dead for sure. Even our whole team is going to die if we're trapped inside, let alone him alone. We should just keep going. I was against coming here. It's too dangerous. We could easily lose our lives, but Mofan insisted on coming … "Zu Jiming was a typical coward.
