Chapter 106: Out of the Tiger's Den and into the Wolf's Lair

  ……

  Mingyou Lian's face, icy and stunningly beautiful, stiffened instantly. The fingers on her chest trembled slightly. A hint of shyness appeared on her seemingly ageless face, and in her eyes, which were like a thousand years of cold ice, a fierce flame burned, as if it would incinerate Chen Mo's remains to nothingness.

  "What are you staring at?" Chen Mo said, his tone relaxed after he had vented. "Am I wrong? I risked my life to save you, and it turns out I saved a white-eyed wolf? You're not even grateful, but instead you want to kill me? Fine, since your fists are bigger and your arms thicker, I won't fight back. Do as you please, kill or maim."

  Chen Mo's chest heaved slightly as she raised her jade-like fingers, her eyes showing no fear, calmly facing the raging flames of Ming Youlian.

  Ming Yu Lian's chest heaved up and down, the cold flames in her icy eyes flickering on and off. Her pretty face was frosty, her anger growing more intense by the second. Suddenly, she raised a hand and pointed it downwards with a fierce jab.

  "Dead Leaf Pointer"

  A dark blue powerful energy, rubbing against the air and emitting a sharp sound like a ghostly howl, the wind was extremely fierce, with a killing aura as sharp as a blade.

  Chen Mo sighed silently in his heart, thinking that he was going to die. He closed his eyes and whispered: "Master, Wu Er, Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, I'll go first..."

  Suddenly, there was a loud "boom".

  The sound echoed endlessly in Yongdao Road, shaking down many lanterns on the walls of Yongdao Road, and dust filled the air.

  "Huh?"

  Chen Mo was shocked and uncertain, Ming Youlian missed, didn't hit? Impossible, at such a close distance...

  He turned his head and took a glance, his face suddenly stiffened, his mouth twitching with the urge to smile, but unable to.

  Only Xiao Ba's face was stuck to the wall, his body tightly attached to it. Along his torso, the wall cracked into spider web-like patterns, and on the dark, dense turtle shell, a trail of marks appeared. A wisp of green smoke drifted up, swirling gently.

  "Boom!"

  Xiao Ba struggled to pull his head out of the wall, looking at Chen Mo with an innocent face. His turtle eyes were filled with grievance and melancholy. Obviously, it was you who scolded the female devil without regard for your life, but Brother Ba obediently hid behind and didn't make a sound. In the end, why did honest Brother Ba get beaten up?

  Chen Mo wiped away a cold sweat. The devastating blow earlier was actually Xiao Ba taking the hit for him. Brother, luckily I had you by my side all along.

  Mingyou Lian seemed to still be simmering with anger, her cold and unpredictable gaze continued to glance at Xiao Ba, her body surrounded by a dark aura, as if looking for an opportunity to strike.

  Plop!

  Xiao Ba was so scared that he fell off the wall, his turtle eyes wide with fear. What kind of majestic divine beast existed in the desolate wilderness? After a few rolls, he arrived at Ming Youlian's jade feet, his four limbs soft and flat on the ground, shaking his turtle head back and forth, wagging his small turtle tail pitifully, begging for mercy, looking up at Ming Youlian with a sorrowful expression, full of fawning and cute expressions.

  A drop of cold sweat, Chen Mo's face turned dry red, can this guy still have some divine beast's bone aura?

  What's with the Bone Qi? How many elixirs does it take to get some Bone Qi? Xiaobei shot Chen Mo a resentful glance, his eyes filled with grievances. If you hadn't provoked that female demon lord for no reason, would I, Big Brother Ba, have ended up in such a sorry state?

  Bang!

  Not comparable to Master Wood Spirit Wei, where is the lotus so easily fooled? The lotus foot lifted and kicked Xiao Ba flying out fiercely.

  The miserable Xiao Ba once again heavily stuck to the wall, causing the wall to crack.

  Chen Mo hastily retreated three zhang away from Ming Youlian, what a joke, this female demon head was unpredictable and couldn't be provoked at all.

  With an icy gaze, she stared at Chen Mo for a moment before turning away indifferently. Her face expressionless, her lips slightly parted, she floated away, no longer paying attention to the man and the turtle, walking forward with lotus steps.

  Looking ahead in the distance, a dark and mysterious figure of Qing is faintly visible, cold and detached, drifting away, gradually disappearing into the distance.

  A sense of rebirth after a narrow escape, I feel a mix of relief and dizziness. My back is already soaked with sweat, seeping through my clothes.

  One man and one turtle, two sworn brothers, were about to hug each other tightly and cry bitterly.

  What's going on here? We were just peacefully running a dungeon with our goddess-like master, and yet we got separated. If we had to get separated, that's fine, but I've had the worst luck for eight lifetimes - I ran into Ming Yu Lian, that terrifying female demon head who's as changeable as the weather.

  She's full and has nothing better to do, so she comes to Death City to hang out?

  The road behind has been blocked, while the road ahead was walked by Mingyoulian.

  Heaven has no road, earth has no gate, advancing and retreating are both difficult.

  After a moment of contemplation, Chen Mo could only wait for a while before heading in the direction of Ming Youlian. What else could he do? Was he supposed to starve to death here? Moreover, his master, Mu Lingwei, was still missing, and not finding her made him feel uneasy.

  After seeing Mingyoulian's style again, Chen Mo became even more nostalgic for his master's gentle and immortal appearance.

  One person and one turtle walked cautiously for a while.

  Suddenly, in the corner, I saw a dark and gloomy lotus floating three inches above the ground, its cold and sinister gaze fixed on Chen Mo. Xiao Ba hastily withdrew his head, indicating that he had seen nothing, and that the two of you should resolve your own grudges.

  Chen Mo's head grew bigger, he raised his hand, and with a sorrowful face, he exclaimed repeatedly: "Ming Xianzi, I didn't intentionally follow you. The road behind was blocked to death, I reached the fork in the road and automatically disappeared, disappeared."

  At this time, Xiao Ba shrunk his head, propped up his hands and feet, landed silently, and followed behind Chen Mo, with a shameful appearance of being ready to escape at any moment.

  The lotus-like face is devoid of emotions, with a hint of coldness in her eyes, as if shrouded in a layer of frost. Her dark blue dress sways gently without the wind, exuding an aura of icy chilliness.

  Several feet away, Chen Mo felt it too, immediately shut his mouth, dryly laughed and unconsciously shrank his neck like Xiao Ba, taking a step back.

  As if unwilling to waste words with Chen Mo, Ming Youlian continued to step forward lightly, her steps seemingly floating across the void. The piercing cold air was like a thousand-year-old ice pool, chilling to the bone.

  She listened to her own explanation, Chen Mo and Xiao Ba looked at each other in dismay, both of them letting out a sigh of relief.

  One person, one tortoise, a distance of over ten zhang away from her, cautiously and carefully following, not even daring to take heavy steps, deeply afraid of provoking that female demon head, with one palm slapping the two poor brothers to death.

  In a moment, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear and bright, and I arrived at a huge and spacious underground city.

  In the underground castle, it was extremely hot. The giant pillars supported the vaulted ceiling, on which were carved ferocious beasts of ancient times, their eyes wide open and staring down, as if they would pounce at any moment and tear people apart.

  Sharp stone pillars like demon claws burst out of the ground after the rain, bursting out cracks and crevices that seeped with hot blood-colored magma, devouring the scattered and fragmented corpses, steaming out more demonic energy. The entire underground city seemed to be grasped in the palm of an evil demon.

  Chen Mo gazed through the swirling demonic energy, watching as Lian Lian's foot tapped on the stone pillar and she took off into the air, like a blue bird flashing across the surface of a lake, swift as lightning, flying towards a tall, majestic palace in the distance.

  Chen Mo's eyebrows rose, his eyes clear and piercing, involuntarily giving a silent compliment. This was the terror of an innate high-ranking power, effortlessly crossing the void, as if it were nothing more than a trivial matter. Watching this, he felt a pang in his heart, and couldn't help but think about his own path to becoming strong, wondering how many more great mountains he still had to climb?

  No matter how many hardships and difficulties are encountered on the road, they will never give up, never lose heart, and never retreat. The path of the strong has always been thorny. Only by constantly clearing thorns can one step by step reach the peak.

  Seeing Xiao Ba floating away with a carefree expression, she stuck out her tongue, shook her limbs, relaxed her muscles, and regained her usual calm demeanor. She glanced at Chen Mo, looked at him with disdain, what are you staring at? Do you want to catch up with the flying horse and travel thousands of miles? Or do you want to hug the legs of that female demon?

  Wait until your brother grows up and takes you on adventures across the world and through the universe. For now, shouldn't you hurry up and run away first...

  Chen Mo directly ignored it. The scan of the underground city for a week, saw that those devil's claw stone pillars were still growing at an invisible speed to the naked eye, the sound of cracks "cracking" and bursting continuously, the molten lava was surging, the heat wave was pressing, and soon this place would be submerged.

  It's better to find the master, and I don't dare to linger. Chen Mo jumped up, his body as light as a willow catkin, floating out with a soft and agile movement. His toes tapped on the stone pillar, and he flew in the opposite direction of Mingyou Lotus.

  Xiao Ba naturally followed behind Chen Mo, his plump turtle body completely unrecognizable as a turtle, extremely agile and nimble in its movements.

  Before long, a man and a turtle crawled into a cave connected by a tunnel. In front of them, the black magic air was thick and condensed into a fog, dark and murky, unable to see clearly, with only two clusters of red flames flickering.

  Like two lonely lanterns swaying in a desolate village at night, seemingly warm and close, yet impossibly out of reach, exuding an inexplicable eerie gloom.

  Plugging the ears to listen, not a single sound is heard. Calmly and quietly, concentrating one's spirit, the whole body is on guard, the bright mysterious energy condenses around the body to form a pale golden bell cover, fists clenched.

  Due to the sudden condensation of a tense and anxious atmosphere.

  Suddenly.

  Ten black shiny claws suddenly shot out from the darkness, in a flash of lightning, amidst sharp whistling sounds, grasping towards Chen Mo's heart.

  Chen Mo's muscles were tense to the extreme, his veins bulging, his aura bursting forth, and his fists intersecting. They collided fiercely with the demonic claws, producing a loud "boom" sound. The air was shocked into explosive bursts, flying chaotically in all directions like a dragon, causing rocks to shatter wherever they passed.

  At the same time, with a loud "clang", Chen Mo's small golden bell cover shattered instantly, his temples throbbed violently, and his body involuntarily retreated backwards, his feet scraping against the ground like a plow, leaving two long marks.

  A dark and ominous corpse, emitting an aura of malevolent energy, stood right in front of him. For a moment, it seemed as if the pure and bright energy had intimidated him, leaving him stunned and frozen, staring at himself with two scarlet eyes.

  Chen Mo took a cold breath, his heart trembled, and his breathing stagnated. Oh heavens, isn't this bullying, and isn't my luck too bad? Just leaving Mingyou Lotus and I ran into a Xiantian middle-stage level Wraith, it's too explosive! A Wraith is not an existence that can be withstood by oneself.
