Chapter 17: The Guy with Thicker Skin than a Monster

  Miss Luo's speed was already astonishing, and now that she had lost her rationality, in a situation where anything goes, they didn't even have time to think about how to react, they could only desperately run forward with their lives.

  Unconsciously, the three of them ran into a garden filled with white plants everywhere. The path here was softer, and the clumsy Taotao fell halfway, Luoxi Zero immediately took the risk to help Taotao up, but Xiaoyan, who could have continued running, stopped in her tracks.

  Xia Yan turned her head to look at Tao Taozi and only then did she realize that Luo Xiaojie hadn't followed them in.

  Xia Yan looked around at the strange plant garden. It was really weird here, with blue sky and white clouds above, but the white ground below stretched out endlessly, because there were many giant mushrooms scattered all over, without any eerie atmosphere, not like a monster, yet distributed everywhere, making it impossible to see the road ahead.

  Miss Luo was very familiar with the terrain of the ancient city, but Xiaoyan suddenly had a bad premonition and subconsciously looked towards Luo Xizero, who also showed an equally uneasy expression.

  "I think this should be a dangerous place, otherwise Miss Luo wouldn't have failed to catch up." Luo Xi Ling said what was on her mind.

  Xia Yan also nodded in agreement, but said helplessly: "But it seems we've gone too deep, the road is blocked by countless giant mushrooms, just like a maze."

  "Your martial arts skills seem to be quite impressive, so you should be able to jump onto those mushrooms and take a look at where the exit of this maze is." Although Taotaozi was very unwilling to ask for Xiaoyan's help, she was the strongest in terms of martial arts here, so she had no choice but to seek her assistance.

  "Idiot!" Xia Yan almost rolled her eyes at this newbie and fool, "Look up there, although you can see the sky, there's a thin layer of aura pressing down on our heads. That might be a barrier, so we can't jump up."

  For the first time being scolded as a fool, Taotaozi was furious, but could only counterattack with her mouth: "Zero is an expert in astronomy, he's very good at stargazing, and he didn't notice any such aura either. I think you're mistaken!"

  "You also said it's stargazing, but it's daytime now, miss!" This time Xiaoyan really couldn't help but roll her eyes, deciding to give up reasoning with this idiot and hurry forward, lest she be dragged down by Taotaozi.

  Peach was determined to make the arrogant Xia Yan surrender, so she raised her hand and climbed onto a giant mushroom head, finding no obstacles. With a self-satisfied smile, she retorted: "You see! I can stand on top of the mushroom, there's no barrier here at all!"

  "Idiot!" Xiaoyan turned her head to look, feeling both angry and helpless. Just as she was filled with anxiety, the ground suddenly rose up, soft and sticky things throwing Taotaozi off the mushroom!

  "The barrier doesn't have to be hard like a wall, there are also elastic barriers, electric current barriers, many that you've never seen before! Idiot!" Xiaoyan couldn't help but scold Taotaozi again.

  "Alright! Since you're so insightful, what is this place? How are we going to escape?" Tumbled onto something like a pile of pork, Taotaozi still had the mood to retort, it's clear that women really can't be offended!

  "I don't know." Xia Yan replied calmly while examining this piece of "land".

  "Cut! You're not going anywhere good either!"

  "There are too many mysterious things here, and I'm afraid that even if you live to the end of your days, you won't be able to see them all. Just like you, life can only take you through this white mushroom maze!"

  "You're a wicked woman, are you cursing me to death? I'll prove it to you right now, my lifespan will definitely be longer than yours!" The rival's sarcastic words reignited Tao Taozi's fighting spirit, and the spiritual energy in her body surged into her palm, forming a blast of spiritual pressure that exploded several mushrooms!

  Lu Xi Ling and Xia Yan were watching quietly, but unexpectedly the uneven ground became even more turbulent, suddenly rising several meters, throwing the two of them off guard into mid-air!

  As the creature had already gone mad, Xia Yan could only follow suit and launched a burst of spiritual energy at the several mushrooms in front of her. A patch of mushroom garden quickly condensed into ice, and with a swing of her Phoenix Eye Fist, the giant mushrooms immediately shattered into fragments!

  Destroying the mushroom only fueled the monster's anger, and the ground suddenly opened up like a flower, sucking in Momotaro who was the slowest to react!

  The two of them stomped their feet and lost color, Luo Xi Zero immediately activated the magic chain, although it was controlled with ease, but the monster's skin was as hard as cowhide, and knives and guns couldn't penetrate.

  Seeing this, Xia Yan actually took a risk and jumped into the monster that was about to close its mouth!

  "Xia Yan——" Lu Xi Ling anxiously shouted, attacking the monster again, but it didn't feel any pain!

  Xia Yan fell into the monster's "mouth", only to find that this place was actually empty, and couldn't see any trace of Tao Taozi, but the space was shrinking second by second!

  Knowing that a reckless attack might backfire, but not doing anything would get him crushed by this monster, he calmed down and took a closer look at the structure of the place.

  Although this was an elliptical space with nothing in it, the monster's "mouth" had dark stripes, like chaotic tree roots. The monster's shrinking speed didn't give Xiaoyan time to think, she could only follow the dark stripes and use her fingers to seal them with ice. Xiaoyan didn't attack again, observing the changes, and found that the monster didn't make a painful sound, but suddenly shot up into the air like a deflated balloon, then flipped over and spat Xiaoyan out!

  Luoshi Ling, who had been worried about the outside situation, immediately walked up and caught Xia Yan, who had fallen down. However, his right hand accidentally hugged a particularly soft part, and this sensitive feeling made both of them stunned!

  It was as if an electric current had passed through her entire body, and suddenly appeared on Xia Yan's body. The girl lowered her head to take a look, and those five long hands were actually tightly attached to her chest!

  "Luò Xī Líng"

  A scream that almost burst eardrums reminded Luo Xi Ling that he hadn't even enjoyed the heavenly bliss yet before Xia Yan was about to be put down.

  Who would have thought that Xia Yan not only didn't appreciate this "benefactor", but instead slapped him without saying a word, and then gritted his teeth and cursed: "Bastard! Cheap person! Pervert! I will remember you, let you never have a good day for the rest of your life!"

  Roxie Zero touched her burning cheek, but raised the corner of her mouth, revealing that damn sweetness. "Although it was an accident just now, thinking about it, I enjoyed it too, and being remembered by a beauty is a good thing. It seems that my luck today is really super good!"

  "Lu Xi Ling! Your skin is even thicker than that monster's!" Xia Yan was furious, but had no way to vent her anger, so she could only turn her face away with the unexploded volcano.

  It wasn't until she turned around that Xia Yan realized that after being spat out, Tiantian hadn't been saved!

  "Where is that tomboy?"

  Lu Xi Zero found that Tao Tao Zi was still nowhere to be found, and his excited mood immediately hit rock bottom!
