Chapter 178
byBefore Meng Xingyuan and Yu Aoqing could walk far, there was suddenly a fierce battle sound from outside. Moments later, the two Yunxia disciples who chased Yang Kai out fled back in a sorry state.
“What’s going on？” Meng Xingyuan shouted and asked.
“Uncle Shi, there are so many bugs！” One of them had an ugly expression and quickly replied.
There was no need for him to answer. The buzzing sound entered Meng Xingyuan’s ears. The next moment, he saw a large black mass like a mist rushing towards them.
This large black mass was composed entirely of a kind of black strange insect that was only the size of a fist and had wings. At a glance, these insects completely filled the corridor, and their number was countless.
Yu Aoqing exclaimed in surprise： “Uncle Shi, we were captured by these insects.”
Meng Xingyuan’s complexion turned cold, and he shouted： “Retreat behind me！”
With a step, he rushed to the front of the Yunxia disciples, his hands moving freely, and the fierce true essence gushing out.
Those strange insects were hit by Meng Xingyuan’s moves and fell down like raindrops, and a vacuum zone was suddenly created in front.
“Master Shishu is so powerful！” One of the Yunxia disciples was dazzled and couldn’t help but praise.
“Follow me and kill our way out！” Meng Xingyuan’s qi sank like a deep pool, taking the lead and using his means to charge forward. The two Yunxia disciples protected Yu Aoqing in the middle and closely followed behind Meng Xingyuan.
Advancing step by step, every time Meng Xingyuan made a move, he was sure to kill dozens of strange insects. But there were simply too many of these insects to be killed completely. After he made more than a dozen consecutive moves, he couldn’t help but show signs of panting. He paused his steps took a deep breath, suppressed the surging qi and blood, and once again displayed a fierce move.
Along the way, the ground was covered with the corpses of strange insects, laying a thick layer.
After rushing out about fifty zhang, Meng Xingyuan suddenly stopped, and his complexion changed drastically.
A series of clicking sounds came from the depths of this cave. The cave wall above their heads also rustled and chunks of earth fell down. Immediately afterwards, the rumbling sound entered their ears and the entire cave shook.
“Not good！” Meng Xingyuan exclaimed in surprise： “This place is going to collapse. Hurry up and go！”
The three Yunxia disciples behind him also had horrified expressions on their faces and hurriedly followed his footsteps.
However, there were countless strange insects blocking the way ahead. They couldn’t move fast even if they wanted to. Meng Xingyuan used all his strength, but still couldn’t make those strange insects retreat. In a hurry, some insects that slipped through the net attacked the three people behind him, making them flustered.
After running another thirty zhang or so, the passage in front suddenly collapsed, completely blocking their way.
Meng Xingyuan and the three Yunxia disciples looked ashen, and Yu Aoqing was even more stunned. Obviously, she didn’t expect that just when she saw a glimmer of hope, she would fall into a desperate situation again.
The rumbling sound continued. At this moment, Yang Kai had already rushed to the entrance of the cave. The moment he rushed out of the insect cave, the entire ground under his feet suddenly sank.
Not daring to stay, Yang Kai continued to rush forward.
When he was attacked by those two Yunxia disciples, Yang Kai had already asked those strange insects to destroy the insect cave. He knew that he would definitely not have a good outcome if he fought head-on with True Yuan Jing masters. Now that he had strange insects at his disposal, he naturally had to take advantage of them.
These insects are good at digging holes, and it is even easier for them to destroy their own lair.
The sound of mountains collapsing and the earth cracking came out. Yang Kai kept running for several miles before stopping and looking back. I saw that with the entrance of the insect cave as the center, within a radius of several miles, the earth had dropped a large amount.
The entire insect cave completely collapsed.
But Yang Kai still didn’t feel at ease. He didn’t know if such a collapse could take the lives of True Yuan Realm experts. His mind turned, and he asked those strange insects to search for the traces of Yunxia and others underground and he must do everything possible to eradicate them!
After waiting quietly for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Yang Kai suddenly heard a reluctant and shrill scream coming from underground.
That was Meng Xingyuan’s cry. It should be that the strange insects had found him. At this moment, they were fighting.
Gradually, the cry became inaudible and finally disappeared.
Since Meng Xingyuan, a True Yuan Realm expert, was dead, those Yunxia disciples whose strength was far inferior to his naturally couldn’t survive. They might have been buried deep in the ground the moment the insect cave collapsed.
“It’s a pity for a beautiful and charming woman.” The Earth Demon sighed. Yu Aoqing was definitely a rare beauty, but this woman had a vicious heart and was really damned.
The Earth Demon was just a little pity.
Yang Kai remained silent, with a cold expression, standing quietly in place.
Not long after, the land within a radius of several miles began to wriggle, and countless strange insects drilled out from the ground and surrounded him, waiting for orders.
These strange insects would be Yang Kai’s reliance for survival and exploration on the Hidden Island.
Since infiltrating Yunxia until now, Yang Kai had been extremely cautious, as if walking on thin ice. Only at this moment did he finally get rid of the people from Yunxia, giving birth to a sense of relaxation and freedom for no reason.
It was time to make a big move.
These strange insects could all fly, and their speed was not slow. Yang Kai was not worried that he couldn’t take them away either.
Leading these strange insects and walking outwards, when he came to the edge of the circle of fog blockade, Yang Kai gave the order to break through the fog.
Immediately, several big guys flew over and rushed into the fog to bite for a while.
Visibly, the fog that blocked this area of more than ten miles was quickly bitten open a gap. Yang Kai’s expression moved. These fogs could actually be used as a killing move, but it seemed that only those big strange insects could spray out these fogs. The strange insects the size of a fist simply didn’t have this ability.
In the next few days, Yang Kai didn’t rush to explore the Hidden Island. Instead, he first found a hidden place to familiarize himself with his Yang Yan Wings.
A few days later, Yang Kai stood in the air above the Hidden Island, looking around and observing the entire island.
Being in mid-air, everything on this mysterious island came into view.
Corresponding to the pattern he obtained from Lady Jiang a few months ago, Yang Kai quickly identified his current position and found the correct route.
After flying forward for a certain distance, Yang Kai landed on the ground and used his movement technique to rush forward.
Although using the speed of the Yang Yan Wings would be much faster, the consumed Yuan Qi was also extremely huge. On this mysterious isolated island, Yang Kai didn’t dare to waste the Yang Liquid in his Dantian.
Moreover, flying in the air was extremely easy to expose the target. It was very likely to be targeted by flying Demonic Beasts or experts of the Yun Xia Sect.
Although using the movement technique to travel was much slower, it was the safest way.
For several consecutive days, Yang Kai was constantly on the move. If he encountered any natural treasures along the way, he would not be polite and would take them and eat them, refining them into the energy of the Proud Bone Golden Body.
There were indeed many crises on the isolated island, and powerful Demonic Beasts could be seen everywhere. If it weren’t for Yang Kai’s caution, he might have already encountered many great battles.
In the past few days, he didn’t find any trace of the people from Yun Xia at all, which made Yang Kai once suspect whether all the people from Yun Xia were dead.
But as he approached the final destination, Yang Kai finally saw some traces of humans passing by.
He became even more cautious.
The center of Hidden Island was a solitary peak, only about a hundred zhang high. The rocks were jagged and the scenery was unique. According to the pattern given by Madam Jiang, Yang Kai could confirm that the place the pattern finally pointed to was this solitary peak.
But now it seems that Yun Xia and those people also seem to have targeted this place. I just don’t know how many of them there are and what kind of strength they have.
Arriving at the foot of the solitary peak, Yang Kai hesitated for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and climbing up.
Suppressing his heartbeat and holding his breath, Yang Kai had only climbed halfway when he heard a violent noise from above, shaking the entire solitary peak.
His heart froze, knowing that there must have been some change above, and his steps couldn’t help but speed up a lot.
After about a stick of incense, Yang Kai came to the top of the peak, quietly lurking aside, and furtively looking in the direction of the sound source.
About dozens of zhang away, several people from Yun Xia were fiercely bombarding a stone gate.
After observing for a while, Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel relieved！ Among these people, there was no Huoxianglan, the Supreme Elder of Yun Xia. The leader was actually Yu Xiuping, and there were still several people left, most of them were experts in the True Yuan Realm.
But at this moment, these people looked rather embarrassed and they should have suffered a lot along the way. Many people were still injured and their bodies were covered in bloodstains.
Fortunately, they were in such a state. Otherwise, Yang Kai estimated that he wouldn’t have been able to sneak into the vicinity without being discovered.
These people each held weapons and tricks, bombarding the stone door blocking their way again and again. Each attack made the stone door vibrate continuously, and a hazy light rippled out from the stone door, making their attacks ineffective.
“Senior Brother Yu…” One of them gasped for breath. “What should we do now？”
Yu Xiuping’s face was gloomy and rather impatient. What else can we do? Keep hitting! We must break this damn stone door! Our Yunxia has suffered heavy losses this time. Even two Supreme Elders have fallen. If we return without any harvest what face will we have?
Upon hearing this, Yang Kai couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
It turned out that Huo Xianglan had also died！ I just don’t know how that Divine Movement Realm old woman died exactly. However, this news undoubtedly gave Yang Kai a reassurance, and he was no longer afraid.
Yu Xiuping rushed forward, frantically push the truth, continuously attack the stone door growling hoarsely. “Two Supreme Elders have fallen, and the disciples of Yunxia have suffered heavy casualties. My daughter is also missing! All of this is for this broken door. If we can’t break it open, we might as well commit suicide here. Why continue to live in this world?”
Yu Xiuping’s madness made the expressions of the other few people not look good either. This exploration of the hidden island this time was simply a wrong decision.
If they had known how dangerous this trip would be, they would never have left Yunxia Sect. With the foundation of Yunxia Sect, it is clearly not qualified and powerful enough to explore the Hidden Island.
But Yu Xiuping’s words clearly also inspired the motivation of these people. The few people did not bother to recover and all remained silent, attacking the stone gate together.
This stone gate must be a barrier left by predecessors. Although it is extremely strong it does not mean that it is indestructible. Several True Yuan Realm masters continuously attacked without stopping, and there were constant banging noises on the solitary peak. In less than an hour, several cracks appeared on the stone gate.
Seeing hope, the people of Yunxia Sect became even more ruthless in their attacks.
