The Strongest Path 13: Training in the Cave (2)

  She smoothly entered the stone gate, and the door behind her slammed shut again with a "boom", blocking the fiery lava that was rushing towards her like a fierce beast.

  "My goodness! I almost lost my life here." He let out a heavy sigh, slowly got up from the ground, and patted his already tattered clothes.

  She raised her head, and the scene in front of her took another breath away. The white bones scattered all over the ground, with black blood worms constantly drilling in and out of them. Under the blue, mysterious light of the night pearl, it looked even more ominous and terrifying. The putrid smell in the air made her feel nauseous.

  So many people's bones are here, which is enough to show that this level is much more difficult than the previous ones.

  She made sufficient mental preparation, held her breath and moved forward slowly, every step was so cautious. She tried to avoid stepping on the white bones on the ground. When she walked halfway, a sudden eerie and desolate music came from beside her ear. It seemed to come from hell, echoing constantly in this enclosed space, making people feel terrified.

  "Creak... creak..." sounds also rang out, coming from all directions around her. Suddenly, the white bones covering the ground seemed to come to life and slowly crawled up from the earth. Step by step, they approached her, their bony hands and feet stretching out to launch a fierce attack on her.

  She quickly retreated backwards, staring at the skull that moved freely, with three black lines sliding down from its forehead. The ones who bought cakes were actually zombies. She took out a dagger from her bag and tightly grasped it in her hand, then flew forward and kicked and stabbed at them. In an instant, several skulls were fiercely kicked to the wall corner by her and shattered into pieces. Only to see the broken skeletons shaking on the ground for a few times, automatically reassembling themselves, and after a while, they restored their original appearance, quickly standing up and rushing towards her.

  She couldn't help but be stunned, what was going on? She didn't expect them to automatically restore themselves.

  It kept stabbing and kicking. However, the skull was like a cockroach that couldn't be killed, falling down, shattering, reassembling, and getting back up to charge at her again.

  On one hand, I was constantly fighting off the dense skulls in front of me, while on the other hand, my mind kept thinking. What method could make them stop? That gloomy and resentful music, where did it come from?

  Although her body was agile and dodging their fierce attacks, after all, two fists were hard to resist the crowd. To counter so many skulls' continuous attacks, she still couldn't avoid being scratched by their sharp bony fingers. Her face and body were covered with scars, although the wounds were constantly healing, but they couldn't keep up with the speed of injury, blood flowed down her cheeks, skin dripped down, forming red blood flowers on the ground.

  Her originally tattered clothes had become even more tattered and worn, turning into a few strips of ragged cloth that barely covered her body, hanging on her in disarray.

  Once again, I stabbed and shattered several skeletons with my dagger. This can't go on like this, can it? Using the skeletons' bodies as a springboard, I leaped onto their heads. Although they could move and quickly regenerate, after all, they were just mindless creatures.

  She stepped on their heads and ran forward like lightning, she had to find a mechanism that could be solved, otherwise even the strongest body couldn't withstand their continuous wheel war.

  The low-flying skulls were hovering in place, searching for their targets to attack.

  She stepped on them and quickly discovered that the stone room was built in a pentagonal shape, with different symbols engraved at the center of each corner. She rotated her agile eyes to carefully study the symbols above.

  She realized, and her eyes lit up instantly. The skull that had been lowered was already moving, slowly approaching her direction, she had to hurry. She quickly ran towards the direction she first entered, and indeed there was a "palace" character engraved here, she quickly pressed it down, then turned to the second corner to press the "business" character, the third corner's "angle" character, the fourth corner's " summons" character, and the fifth corner's "feather" character.

  The skulls stopped their attack, "Boom!" The skulls fell to the ground one by one. The stone room returned to its original state once again. Still littered with white bones, blood maggots wriggling among them. As if everything that had just happened was just a thrilling dream.

  He let out a deep breath, unexpectedly being fooled by her careless mistake. This place was indeed designed according to the 'Five Elements Formation', arranged in the order of the ancient five tones Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, and Yu.

  She wrinkled her brow and looked at the skulls on the ground with disgust. This was not a place for humans to stay, she quickly moved forward, taking quick steps away.

  No matter how long he walked, he still didn't see the appearance of the next stone gate.

  She didn't know how long she had been walking, all she knew was that she was now both tired and hungry. She found a clean spot to sit down, took out the dry rations and water from her backpack and started eating on the spot. Her bright eyes looked forward into the seemingly endless dark green stone passageway, not knowing how many dangers lay ahead waiting for her.

  No matter how difficult the road ahead is, she will face it strongly. That's her challenge to herself, to become a real strong person, and it requires continuous tempering.

  Put away the water and dry food, took out a set of clean clothes, changed into the tattered and worn-out clothes that hung on his body like rags. Leaned against the luggage and fell asleep soundly...

  As the news of "Chiyan Hall" being destroyed spread, the other six halls were even more panicked and frightened, making strict preparations for defense. What is "Chiyan Hall"? It's the Assassin's Guild! That place is full of masters, it can be reduced to ashes overnight, let alone these places that only sell children and women, smuggle, and control the economy.

  A pair of eyes gleaming with a fierce light, a sturdy waist and a strong back. At first glance, he looked like the standard villain, Bai Qing, the master of 'Orange Blossom Hall', pacing back and forth on the spot. Ever since 'Crimson Flame Hall' was destroyed, his heart had been extremely uneasy. Despite having made thorough preparations for defense, he still couldn't eat or sleep well.

  What kind of person is so formidable? Who will be next? These two questions have been bothering him lately.

  "White Hall Master, you seem to be in low spirits lately." A low, sultry voice came from behind.

  Who? Bai Qing's heart was racing, he looked fierce on the outside but in reality, he had always been a timid and cowardly person. He slowly turned around, his eyes wide with surprise as he shouted: "It's you! Aren't you dead?"

  He Yan Ye's mouth was curved with a playful smile, but his eyes were cold and icy. "What are you talking about, White Hall Master? Do you really wish me dead?"

  "No! No! I absolutely didn't mean it. You mustn't misunderstand." He was 'Hokage' S, the number one killer, not someone to be trifled with.

  He Yan Ye looked at him with a sudden realization on her face. "Oh! So I misunderstood?"

  Bai Qing let out a breath of relief, thinking that he wasn't as cold-blooded as the rumors said. Just when she had put down her guard, his words scared her into picking it up again.

  His whole body emitted a chill, staring at him like Asura. "What if I misunderstood? Shouldn't the White Master pay some price for this?" He slowly stepped closer to him step by step.

  Bai Qing finally realized he was being played for a fool, and he retreated in anger. Pointing at him with his finger, he growled furiously: "You think I'm afraid of you, He?"

  He Yan Ye curled up her lips and smiled seductively, but it sent shivers down one's spine.

  Bai Qing felt the footsteps of death getting closer and closer, his whole body trembling as he knelt on the ground, "Please... please don't kill me! Ah..." The bullet exited his skull, he stared wide-eyed, slowly falling to the ground.

  He Yanye looked at him with a mocking smile, her eyes full of disdain. "Idiot!" Not kill you? Did I come here to go window shopping? Now he really doubted Zhou Jie's judgment of people.

  Next is 'Huang Jing Tang', he calmly turned and left. If only, it won't be long before we can reunite.
