After falling dozens of feet again, the three finally reached the real bottom of the stream.
This is a huge underground cave, with hard and moist black stone ground beneath its feet. Huge stalactite pillars can be seen everywhere, with twisted shapes, like ferocious statues of ghosts and gods.
In the air, the evil aura was so strong that it almost turned into reality.
In the very center of the cave, there is a huge hole with a diameter of about ten feet. The edge of the hole has been artificially repaired, and the lines of the formation have been indistinctly carved.
Streams of black energy visible to the naked eye were slowly overflowing from the hole, as if it were the entrance to the Nine Nether Hells.
"Myriad Souls Cave..." Wang Teng looked at the hole, with a trace of greed and passion in his eyes.
"This is it." Yang Xiong also tightened his grip on the spear in his hand, and his breathing became a little rapid.
"Act as planned." Lu Chen's voice broke the silence, "The two of you are setting up a trap here to create the illusion of a fierce battle and loss to both sides. If the people from the Rebirth Hall come, they will definitely relax their vigilance. I will hide in the dark and wait for the opportunity."
"Okay!" Yang Xiong nodded in agreement, looked at Wang Teng, and immediately started to act.
Wang Teng took out a stack of formation flags and skillfully arranged a simple missing formation around the entrance of the cave. At the same time, he used Sword Qi to cut countless criss-crossing ravines on the stone walls and the ground, forging traces of the battle.
Yang Xiong was more direct. He forced out a mouthful of Essence Blood, sprinkled it on the ground, and deliberately activated True Qi, letting a trace of the suppressed Bone-Corroding Curse Poison breath leak out, creating the illusion that he was seriously injured.
The two of them cooperated tacitly, and it was obvious that this was not the first time they had done this.
Lu Chen looked at their busy figures with calm eyes, but he did not look for a hiding place nearby. Instead, his body swayed, like a wisp of smoke, and quietly swept towards the other side of the cave.
His figure flickered in the shadow of those huge stone pillars, and then he came to an area where stalagmites hung upside down on the top of the cave.
This place is twenty feet high from the ground, and the location is hidden. It just happens to be able to have a panoramic view of the entire entrance of Myriad Souls Cave and the killing tactic arranged by Wang Teng.
This is the hunting position he chose for himself.
<Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art> was operating to the extreme, and Lu Chen's body seemed to be completely integrated with the stalagmite behind him. His breath, heartbeat, and even soul fluctuations all converged to a state that was close to "nothing".
He was like a real rock, hanging there quietly, overlooking everything below.
After doing all this, he was not completely relaxed.
With a flick of his fingertips, several points of imperceptible spiritual light flew out and silently adhered to the shadows of several key stone pillars below.
This is a miniature warning talisman that he deduced by himself based on the principle of <Wind Thunder Spell-Breaking Talisman>. Once any living creature approaches, he will be able to detect it immediately.
Time passed slowly in the dead silence of waiting.
A quarter of an hour.
Half an hour.
An hour...
Below, Yang Xiong is pretending to be seriously injured, and his face is getting increasingly ugly.
He is not pretending, this Yinwind Ravine evil aura is constantly stimulating the poison in his body. If Lu Chen's Black Tortoise True Qi hadn't suppressed the poison core, he would have been poisoned long ago.
Wang Teng also seemed a little anxious, his eyes scanning the surrounding darkness from time to time.
At this moment, Lu Chen's body hanging on the ceiling of the cave suddenly shook.
His calm eyes suddenly narrowed, like a cheetah discovering its prey.
Coming!
The warning talisman he arranged sent an extremely weak fluctuation.
But the source of the fluctuation made his heart tremble.
Not from the direction of the entrance of the cave, but from behind...Wang Teng and Yang Xiong!
The passage they came from!
Almost at the same time, five ghost-like black shadows emerged silently from the darkness behind Wang Teng.
They were wearing uniform black robes and cold bronze masks on their faces. Each one of them exuded a solemn and deathly aura, as if they were not living people, but Soul-Hooking Envoy beings crawling out of hell.
They appeared so suddenly, with no footsteps or True Qi fluctuations. If Lu Chen hadn't laid out the talismans in advance, even he would have barely been able to notice them right away!
Below, Wang Teng and Yang Xiong obviously noticed something. Their expressions changed drastically and they turned around suddenly!
When they saw the five black figures so close at hand, their pupils suddenly shrank!
"Rebirth Hall!" Wang Teng gritted his teeth and spit out three words.
The man in black robes at the head was slightly taller than the others. He slowly raised his head, and his gaze under the bronze mask seemed to penetrate the void. With a hint of teasing and ridicule, he swept across the shocked faces of Wang Teng and Yang Xiong.
He ignored the two of them and instead turned his attention to the center of their carefully arranged killing trap - the Myriad Souls Cave hole.
A hoarse, cold sound, like metal friction, slowly sounded in the silent cave.
"The layout is good, but it's a pity..."
"We already knew you were waiting here."
The moment the words fell, Wang Teng and Yang Xiong's hearts instantly sank to the bottom.
Their ambush plan was exposed from the beginning!
You are the prey who stepped into the trap!
