Whoosh-
With a piercing whistle, several figures hurtled downward.
Although Xiao Yan had made stairs and even added a few clever touches, not a single person besides him used them. Everyone flew down instead.
Still, thanks to Xiao Yan's reshaping of the terrain, the passage ran straight down, saving those who followed quite a bit of time.
Gu He, who led the way, felt the fire elemental energy grow richer and the temperature more scorching the farther he descended.
Glancing to either side, he could still make out traces of what had once been there. Beyond the translucent glass passage, he clearly saw severed underground tunnels within the reshaped rock strata.
Those natural features looked distinctly out of place in an underground landscape that had been completely remade, yet Gu He could strangely sense something of the culprit's peculiar tastes.
It seemed deliberate.
As he flew downward with his nerves taut, the end of his field of vision suddenly brightened. It seemed to be a gleam of firelight.
Within that firelight, he could vaguely make out a figure.
"Careful. Someone's ahead."
Turning his head to warn Yan Shi and Feng Li, whose spiritual strength was weaker, Gu He exchanged a glance with Yun Yun. Dou Qi surged around him as he focused all his spiritual strength and readied himself for anything. Just then, however, he suddenly sensed the howling wind behind him.
Whoever was coming was incredibly fast. Amid a rapid series of air-splitting whistles, a figure raced toward them with the wind roaring in her wake.

His pupils contracted sharply. Sensing Medusa closing in at tremendous speed, Gu He abandoned all other concerns and surged forward at full speed.
After exchanging a glance with Gu He, Yun Yun naturally fell to the rear.
They had to remain on
