Chapter 233: Chapter 202: Hummingbird 1

The underground passage was only about ten meters long. Quickly, everyone reached the end and entered a square cellar.

It was hollow inside, with only a stone door standing in the center. The door was carved with lifelike flowers, birds, fishes, and insects, and showed no signs of spiritual power fluctuations, appearing like a simple painting.

On both sides of the stone door hung two oil lamps emitting a green glow, lighting up the entire cellar.

As Xu Mu entered, an inexplicable chill sprouted in his heart.

The woman stood in front of the stone door, squeezed a spell, and then a terrifying pressure erupted from within her.

Hiss!

Everyone felt their bodies suddenly sink, as if a giant rock of thousands of pounds had suddenly landed on their shoulders. Their muscles tensed and they quickly mobilized their spiritual power for defense.

This pressure was much stronger than the Nascent Soul Stage, and might have reached the Divinity Transformation Stage.

But Xu Mu had never seen a strong individual at the Divinity Transformation Stage, so he could not be entirely certain.

The only thing he could be certain about was that if the other party wanted to kill them, a single finger would be enough.

She has such powerful strength and proficiency in puppetry technique. Why didn’t she enter, and instead let us in?

If there’s no catch here, even a fool wouldn’t believe it!

Certainly none of the six were fools. They had all probably realized this, yet none of them presumptuously asked questions.

Roar!

The woman’s spell entered the stone door. The stone door filled with patterns made a thunderous noise, slowly opened, revealing a grey, cloudy space.

Compared to the cellar they were in, the light inside this space was much brighter, like the daylight before the sunrise.

The space inside was filled with flora, and there were even distant hills and waterfalls. It looked no different from ordinary mountains.

The only difference probably was the strands of black fog drifting around, which shaped into various forms under the wind blowing through the mountains.

Whoosh!

As the stone door opened, a puff of black fog happened to drift toward them, passing through the stone door and filling the cellar.

The originally cold cellar suddenly became colder.

The woman did not stop it, allowing the black fog to fill the cellar.

Buzz!

Facing the approaching black fog, the high-tier robes of Xu Mu and the others naturally responded, radiating substantial spiritual light, blocking the black fog outside.

Crackle!

The thundering power within Xu Mu, as if stimulated, suddenly erupted a streak of purple thunder, instantly obliterating the approaching black fog.

This instinctive reaction was so fast that even Xu Mu couldn’t stop it.

It wasn’t hard to guess that these black fogs must be the Yin evil spirit mentioned by the woman, as it had elicited such a great reaction from his thundering power.

“Huh?”

Everyone, except the woman, turned towards him upon sensing the aura of the thunder.

“The Martial Method you cultivate is actually thundering-related, that’s really enviable!” said the chubby man in a purple mask with a smile.

The power of thunder naturally countered the Yin evil spirit. Unless something unexpected happened, he would definitely have an advantage in the forthcoming operations.

The others remained silent, but their eyes also revealed a hint of envy.

“I’ve barely grasped the basics. You’re too kind,” Xu Mu responded modestly.

Now was not the time to brag. Although they were separated at first, if they tried to force him to take the lead by using his thundering power as an excuse after they reunited, it would be troublesome.

“Don’t be humble. I believe…” The purple-faced chubby man was interrupted by the woman before he could finish his sentence.

“Enough with the talking, hurry up and get in. As long as you complete the task I’ve assigned you, not only can you take back your original belongings, but you will also receive a satisfactory reward!”

The woman smiled.

No way we’d believe that!

All six of them cursed inwardly, but no one dared to speak out, not even daring to show any expression.

“It’s an honor to serve senior!” The chubby man with a purple mask slapped the flattery and walked towards the grey space.

But before entering, he cast several layers of defensive spells on himself and took out a small silver shield.

With the spiritual light emanating from the shield, it was definitely a magic treasure, and had already reached tier nine.

Xu Mu’s eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

The ability to use a tier nine magic tool means that this purple-faced chubby man was definitely no weakling.

In fact, he might be the strongest of them all.
