Chapter 2530

The person at the entrance of the cave was furious and shouted, “Miss, are you going to take up the cause for others? Have you ever thought about whether it’s worth it? As far as I can see, you don’t even know this person, right? Why offend others for him?”

Zhang Ruoxi snorted and said, “I don’t know if it’s worth it or not. Anyway, I can’t stand it, and if I can’t stand it, I have to take action.”

“Simply unreasonable!” The person outside the cave was enraged, and the anger in his heart was like a volcanic eruption, almost igniting him. What bad luck. He didn’t know where this little girl had come from, but she was actually so fond of meddling in other people’s business, and it was precisely at such a life-and-death moment.

If it were on a normal day, he might have had the time to argue with Zhang Ruoxi for a few words, but right now, he didn’t have the slightest bit of spare time.

At this moment, Yang Kai suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the person at the cave entrance, saying faintly, “The wind outside is getting stronger and stronger. If friend doesn’t go to find another place to shelter from the wind, I’m afraid it will be too late.”

When that person heard this, he deeply looked at Yang Kai, with a full of resentment and venom in his eyes. Suddenly, he turned around and rushed forward at a high speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye, not even having the time to leave a harsh word.

He also knew that if he continued to entangle with Zhang Ruoxi, he would miss the best opportunity and might not necessarily be able to grab a place here. In the end, he would surely die in the howling wind. Leaving at this moment, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope for survival.

He could only take a gamble.

“Thank you, this girl. I will never forget the life-saving grace today. There will definitely be a great reward in the future！” The young man hiding at the deepest part of the cave kept cupping his hands towards Zhang Ruoxi, and the gratitude was palpable.

If it weren’t for Zhang Ruoxi’s action to stand up for him just now, he would definitely have been thrown out of the cave to fend for himself at this moment. Therefore, he was extremely grateful to Zhang Ruoxi.

Zhang Ruoxi waved her hand and said with a smile, “It’s nothing.”

This smile made the entire cave seem to brighten up. The young man’s eyes suddenly straightened, revealing a look of amazement.

Noticing his expression, Zhang Ruoxi’s face blushed slightly, and her heart was secretly annoyed.

Old Ban coughed lightly and said with a bitter smile, “Miss, your kind heart is admirable, but… it doesn’t really help.”

“What？” Zhang Ruoxi turned to look at Old Ban with a confused expression on her face.

Old Ban sighed and said, “When the wind howls come, this shelter will become a place contested by all martial artists. You can drive away one person, but can you drive away all of them？”

As soon as his voice fell, several whoosh sounds suddenly came from outside.

Immediately after that, several figures shot out from the strange fog like long rainbows and directly rushed to the entrance of the cave.

These people were obviously also looking for a place to take shelter from the wind. When they looked inside at the entrance of the cave and found that the cave was already full of people, their expressions all sank.

But they seemed to have already expected this situation, so they didn’t stay or waste any words. They directly sacrificed their respective secret treasures and released the most ferocious attacks towards the several people standing at the outermost edge of the cave.

The light flashed on and off, and in the chaos of spiritual energy, accompanied by two miserable cries.

Among the martial artists standing at the outermost edge of the cave, two people didn’t even have time to react before they were directly blasted to death on the spot. Blood splashed out, and the pungent smell immediately filled the air.

Among the later martial artists, someone laughed loudly, casually kicked, and kicked the corpses of those two people out, shouting loudly in their mouths, “If you don’t want to die, quickly make way for us！”

As the words fell, the attacks of those people became even more fierce, making the few warriors at the outermost edge complain incessantly.

Zhang Ruoxi watched dumbfounded and immediately understood why there were so many skeletons at the entrance of this cave.

It turned out that these skeletons really didn’t die under the astral wind, but at the hands of others. Every time the wind howled, countless battles would break out in this cave, and some people would fall here. Over the years, it is no exaggeration to call this place the grave of warriors.

The situation in this cave is like this, and I’m afraid the other caves are the same.

This is not a simple struggle, but a real life-and-death struggle because everyone knows that if they can’t snatch a place in this cave, they will eventually die in the astral wind. So they show no mercy and every move is fatal.

For a while at the entrance of the cave, it was dark and chaotic, with flying sand and rocks.

The battle here was not over yet, and several more people rushed over from the outside and made fierce moves without saying a word.

The battle situation was extremely chaotic. From time to time, someone would scream and fall, and the ground was dyed bright red with blood. Broken corpses and severed arms could be seen everywhere at the entrance of the cave, and the strong smell of blood was almost nauseating.

Like the ebb and flow of the tide, those who can survive in this chaotic situation are all extremely powerful experts. Those with slightly inferior strength simply don’t have the qualification to survive.

These powerhouses charged through the cave entrance and squeezed inward extremely ferociously, as if they wanted to squeeze into the depths of the cave.

Because only by squeezing into the depths of the cave could one truly feel at ease. Staying outside would only make one the target of the latecomers’ attacks.

In a short while, the entire cave was completely in chaos.

The battle at the edge of the cave entrance was in full swing, and there was also a great deal of fighting and killing inside the cave. The brilliance of secret treasures and secret techniques bloomed from time to time. It seemed that everyone around was an enemy, and there was not a single companion.

Yang Kai and the other two had originally been in the deep part on the right side of the cave, but at this moment, they could not avoid being involved in the battle.

However, after Yang Kai casually killed two Dao Source Third Layer Realm powerhouses who wanted to attack Zhang Ruoxi and Old Ban, the situation finally improved somewhat. Those martial artists who rushed in from the outside should have all perceived that Yang Kai was not to be trifled with, so they instinctively avoided the position where he was located. Along with that, Zhang Ruoxi and Old Ban also became idle.

From time to time, martial artists were thrown out of the cave by stronger people. As time passed, less than half of the original dozen or so people in the cave remained, and all the others were those who had rushed in later.

The wind whistled, and the wind force gradually increased.

At a certain moment, those martial artists who failed to rush into the cave to take shelter and were still staying outside suddenly let out cries of surprise one after another. Their eyes were about to split open, revealing extremely frightened expressions and they rushed in desperately, but were blocked tightly by others.

And in full view of everyone, the flesh and blood exposed by these people was like being cut by an invisible knife, peeling off piece by piece, revealing the bones and muscles inside.

The screams were extremely tragic, and that terrifying scene made people’s scalp tingle and their hands and feet turn cold.

All the people hiding in the cave couldn’t help but take a step back.

In less than ten breaths, those martial artists who were still staying outside the cave became a pile of skeletons. The clothes and even the flesh and blood on their bodies all disappeared, and the white skeletons were scattered all over the ground, making a rustling sound.

“It’s safe now.”

It was not until a long time later that Old Ban suddenly let out a breath.

The power of the wind howl had been fully revealed. At this time, those martial artists who hadn’t found a place to take shelter were basically doomed to die under the violent wind. Therefore, no one would force their way into this cave anymore, and the dozen or so martial artists still hide in the cave naturally don’t have to worry about someone coming to seize the position anymore.

Strangely enough, before, everyone was fighting on their own, and almost everyone around was an enemy. They had more or less fought with others, looking as if they had a sworn hatred like their fathers being killed and their wives being taken away, and they couldn’t wait to kill others.

But at this time, everyone let out a sigh of relief, restrained the hostility on their bodies, looked at each other, and sat cross-legged to adjust their breath.

As if nothing had happened just now.

The fight just now was to seize a place to stay, which was a life-and-death struggle. Now that the crisis has passed there is naturally no need to fight anymore. Everyone understands this point.

Zhang Ruoxi turned her head and looked around, but didn’t find the young man she had saved before. She couldn’t help but sigh and knew that the man must have been killed or thrown out in the melee just now.

What Old Ban said that what she did was useless was really not a lie.

She could save the young man once, but she couldn’t keep him safe forever. On the path of warriors, only one’s own strength is the real capital.

There are more than a dozen people in this cave now. Except for Old Ban who is at the first level of Dao Source Realm, the rest are all at the second level of Dao Source Realm, and most of them are at the third level. Most of them broke in later, and each one’s aura is extremely fierce.

The previous great battle had caused a great deal of consumption for many people, so at this moment, everyone was meditating and recovering. For a while, the cave was eerily quiet, and only the terrifying whistling sound continuously came from outside the cave entrance, making people somewhat worried whether the gust of wind would blow into the cave.

The whistling wind showed no sign of stopping at all, but instead became stronger and stronger.

Two hours later, Yang Kai, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly frowned and looked towards the outside of the cave entrance.

For no reason at all, he had a faint sense of unease.

Just at this moment, the strange fog outside the cave was shrouded and the whistling wind was fierce. Even with his spiritual sense, he couldn’t detect anything, so he simply didn’t know what the situation outside was like at all.

Just as he was closely watching that side, a shrill and mournful sound suddenly came from the depths of the strange fog. Although this sound was a bit out of tune due to being blown by the whistling wind, everyone could hear it clearly.

One pair of eyes after another opened wide, and they all looked forward in astonishment.

“Everyone… did you hear anything? One of the warriors closest to the cave entrance frowned and asked.

“Ghosts！” Another person replied in a deep voice.

“Hmph, there are many ghosts in the ancient land passage. What’s so strange about this? I don’t know how many people die here all year round. It’s only natural that some ghosts are born.”

“I naturally know that there are many ghosts in the passage. But… don’t you feel that these ghosts are approaching us？” asked the warrior who spoke first in surprise and uncertainty.

“Haha, this friend is joking. When the wind howls, not only do we living people need to find a place to hide, but those ghosts generally will not come out either. They all hibernate in secret places. How could they approach us?”

“That’s right. I have been here for several years and have never really encountered ghosts when the wind howls. Did this friend think too much？”

“That’s right！” After thinking about it, the man felt that this was indeed the case and stopped thinking about it for the time being.
