Chapter 248 - Chapter 248: Chapter 234 Retreat (2/2)
The entire cave was a dark shade of crimson.
Everyone was retreating while trying to clear away the Devouring Spirit Ants.
But there were too many of these ants; they seemed endless.
Gradually, some began to falter as their Spiritual Power drained, and their pace slowed.
Seeing this situation,
Elder Qin’s frown deepened even further.
It was at this moment,
Elder Qin seemed to make up his mind after a brief contemplation, and with a wave of his hand, he then said,
“Come, follow me.”
“This time, I’ll take you out through the Teleportation Array.”
“Good…”
Who would have thought that inside this cave, there would actually be a Teleportation Array.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly responded with excitement and hastily agreed.
Following that,
Elder Qin turned around to take the rear, charging forward as the vanguard along the corridor.
This time, since they were passing through paths already cleared, the going was smooth.
Before long,
they arrived at a fork in the path.
Elder Qin directly turned into it.
Seeing this, everyone followed suit and turned in as well.
However,
just upon entering the fork, they discovered
this passage was littered with innumerable Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant corpses, as if someone had just passed through here.
Elder Qin glanced over the scene, then without stopping, continued to charge forward.
Without the luxury to ponder, everyone hurried to keep up.
In such dire straits, lagging behind meant death.
No one dared to delay.
Following Elder Qin, just as they turned a corner,
suddenly…
they bumped head-on into a group of cultivators.
When the yellow-robed elder leading the other group saw Elder Qin, joy appeared on his face.
He quickly spoke up,
“Daoist Qin, I didn’t expect to find you here, I thought you had already broken through…”
Elder Qin was also surprised upon seeing this person:
“Daoist Xie…”
“How… why did you come out from the inside?”
Upon hearing this, Elder Xie explained to Elder Qin:
“There are four particularly formidable Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants inside; two of them are equivalent to the Golden Core early stage, and two to the Mid Golden Core stage, truly difficult to deal with…”
“Now that you’re here, it’s perfect…”
“Together, we can deal with those four Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants, and then leave this place through the Teleportation Array.”
After saying this, he added with a sigh,
“These Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants seem to be under someone’s control, blocking every exit.”
Elder Qin nodded at this,
“Good…”
“I too noticed this situation just now…”
Daoist Xie nodded and said,
“Together, we should be able to break through here with them.”
After speaking,
he also glanced at the people following him.
Among these people were offspring from large families.
And some were directly disciples of the three major Sects.
But without exception,
they all had close ties with the three major Sects.
Otherwise, they would not possibly have come to train in this core area.
Therefore,
the two elders had been protecting them all this time.
Subsequently,
Elder Qin stepped up to join forces with Elder Xie.
And the people following them merged with Lin Jing’s group.
In this crowd, Lin Jing did not see Yun Long.
It was uncertain whether he had been killed by the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants or had already escaped.
Just then, the two elders regrouped and led everyone deeper into the corridor.
Continuing further inside, Lin Jing noticed even more corpses of the Devouring Spirit Ants.
After a short while, they reached further in.
Suddenly, ahead came strange noises, like wild beasts running amok…
It was then that Elder Xie spoke up:
“Here they come…”
