As the torches were lit, the firelight illuminated the cave before them, and under the light, the dazzling Gold Soul Coin shone brightly.
A rare look of joy appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. The Slime Bodysuit behind him moved on its own, devouring the mountain of treasure around them.
Huo Yuhao's eyes remained a dark purple, countless streams of light swirling within them, a slight smile playing on his lips, exuding confidence.
In the dimly lit cave, Yan Shaozhe was moving at a rapid pace.
A bright yellow flame burned in his hand, constantly illuminating the road ahead.
However, there are too many forks in the road here, and Spiritual Power is really useless in this cave.
Fortunately, as Titled Douluo, he was quite fast, and since many of the forks in the road were dead ends, he managed to figure out a general route using the simplest process of elimination.
Moreover, he left behind flames of light along the way, so that Ma Xiaotao and the others could use them to find the path they had taken.
Soon, Yan Shaozhe arrived at another intersection, with a passage on each side.
Yan Shaozhe slightly raised the flame in his hand, the flame flickering in the air, casting his shadow on the ground.
Suddenly, there was a hissing sound.
The flames swayed in the air for a moment, then burned erratically to the right.
Yan Shaozhe immediately understood that the evil energy in the air had been ignited by his radiant flames, and that Dai Huabin and Bei Bei must have gone to the right.
He threw the flame in his hand towards the dead corner on the right, the flame flickering and illuminating the surrounding area.
Yan Shaozhe's wings of light unfurled behind him, and several feathers of light slowly fell to the ground under their influence.
call!
The wings fluttered slightly.
A wisp of air rose around Yan Shaozhe, and his wings flapped once more.
Suddenly, the wings unleashed their unique luminous Soul Power, enveloping Yan Shaozhe like a cannonball, and propelled him toward the right.
Only two seconds passed.
A sudden, fierce gust of wind swept in front of them, its terrifying force causing the thick stone door to creak and groan.
The torches hanging on either side fell to the ground with a thud, scattering their ashes everywhere.
As his wings folded, Yan Shaozhe appeared before the stone gate.
Yan Shaozhe's eyes narrowed, and he concentrated his Soul Power in his right hand, which he then used to smash the stone door with a fist.
Just as his fist was about to strike the stone door, an invisible ripple suddenly appeared from his fist.
Immediately afterwards, invisible energy spread outwards, and the right hand, which had been shining brightly, dimmed in the blink of an eye.
Yan Shaozhe's pupils contracted slightly! He instantly retreated several meters, his gaze fixed on the stone door in front of him.
Yan Shaozhe was shocked. "Damn it, what's going on!"
The sudden turn of events made Yan Shaozhe hesitant to act rashly; his intuition told him that Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er had been taken into the stone gate.
Yan Shaozhe had just clearly felt that his attack had been neutralized by another Soul Power.
However, his attack was suddenly neutralized, something that very few people in the world could do.
Unless the person behind the door has at least the strength of Limit Douluo, it's impossible to do that.
Yan Shaozhe looked warily at the stone gate, and for a moment he dared not make any rash moves.
He began to speculate, "Could it be Shadow? No, that's not right. If he wanted to make a move, why would he kidnap Xiao Xiao and the others... So who could it be?"
Just as Yan Shaozhe was still guessing who was behind the door, an aged voice rang out from behind the door.
" The Bright Phoenix? Hmph! How interesting. If I remember correctly, you are Mu En's disciple." A cold laugh came from the owner of the voice.
Yan Shaozhe was shocked and cupped his hands, saying, "Senior knows my teacher? I hope you can tell me his title."
"You're here for those two little girls, aren't you? You're not qualified!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a terrifying pressure instantly swept in from behind the door, accompanied by a faint dragon roar that shook the very soul.
Yan Shaozhe's Soul Power surged wildly within his body, and countless energies of light instantly coalesced in front of him, resisting the terrifying pressure.
He could feel the surrounding space constantly squeezing towards him, and the darkness behind the door twisted and climbed up Yan Shaozhe's body like a venomous snake.
Yan Shaozhe was terrified, and his Seventh Soul Ring and Ninth Soul Ring lit up without hesitation.
A flash of light, Yan Shaozhe's body vanished, replaced by a Bright Phoenix over ten meters long.
The narrow cave was instantly filled, but the Bright Phoenix that Yan Shaozhe had transformed into suddenly expanded again, and as its wings spread, the earth and rocks crumbled.
The entire cave began to tremble violently, and the stalactites hanging above the cave were about to fall, but finally could not hold on and fell down, breaking into several pieces on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the entire Ming Dou Mountain Range began to tremble violently.
Ma Xiaotao and dozens of others, who were still advancing in the cave, had no choice but to stop.
"Everyone, quick! Get your defenses set!"
As soon as Ma Xiaotao shouted, everyone reacted quickly.
The Defensive Soul Tool on the Shrek Inspection Corps badge was activated instantly.
Tang Ya's gaze sharpened, and she raised her hands. Countless thick Blue Silver Grass sprouted out and enveloped everyone within them.
boom!
A huge cloud of smoke billowed out, countless boulders were lifted up by the immense force, the narrow cave collapsed instantly, and countless rubble buried everything.
In an instant, a giant phoenix head, over a hundred meters long, emerged from the smoke and dust.
Phew!
A phoenix cry rang out, its wings whipped up a gale that instantly dispersed the haze, and the surrounding towering trees were lifted up by the wind.
Whoosh!
Countless fallen leaves scattered, and the terrifying pressure dissipated amidst the flying sand and stones.
With another phoenix cry, intense Phoenix Flame suddenly rose up, shooting out downwards in a vast, overwhelming manner.
These Phoenix Flame, each cluster shaped like a Fire Phoenix, resembled dazzling shooting stars, relentlessly sweeping towards the area behind the stone gate.
Within the White Tiger Army camp, countless soldiers stared wide-eyed, greatly alarmed to see such a colossal Phoenix emerge from within.
The alarm bells rang instantly, and the soldiers sprang into action, as if facing a formidable enemy!
Dai Hao stepped out of the tent and immediately recognized it as the Bright Phoenix that Yan Shaozhe had transformed into.
He raised his hand to stop the guard who was about to report, and said to him, "Pass the word down: everyone stay put, and then send an elite team up the mountain to provide support."
The White Tiger Guards immediately obeyed and relayed the Marshal's orders.
Dai Hao gazed at the enormous Phoenix body, his eyes flickering slightly.
The Phoenix Flame bombarded Yan Shaozhe for a full two minutes before the Bright Phoenix disappeared, revealing its true form, after Yan Shaozhe's Soul Power could no longer sustain the attack.
"Whoosh!"
Yan Shaozhe was panting heavily. The originally dark cave had disappeared, replaced by a large, sunken pit covered with cracks, where no plants remained.
The crater wasn't very deep, only about ten meters. Compared to the crater that Shadow blasted in the Shrek Academy, this was insignificant.
Seeing that the ground below was buried under countless dust and rubble, and there was still no movement after a long time, Yan Shaozhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The moment he relaxed his mind, a huge, jet-black dragon claw suddenly appeared above him.
Dark light gleamed from the dragon's claws, surrounded by countless shadows. The sharp claw hooks flashed with a cold light, as if they could tear a hole in the sky!
Yan Shaozhe had no time to react before the enormous dragon claw slammed down.
Under the terrifying attack, Yan Shaozhe's body broke through the speed of sound, leaving several explosions in the air before crashing heavily into the pile of rubble below.
In an instant, countless pebbles suddenly flew up, propelled by the impact, and shot out, destroying the remaining trees around them.
A large pool of blood remained, Yan Shaozhe had vanished without a trace!
The aged voice rang out again, "Truly pathetic..."
