Li Chengfeng's attack was successful. He let out a huge sigh of relief and relaxed. He fell from mid-air and landed on the hard stone bridge, almost dislocating his internal organs.
Li Chengfeng groaned in pain. Just as he was about to get up, he heard Little Bell scream in fear, "Quick, my Dingchen Bell can't hold on any longer!"
Li Chengfeng turned his head to see a translucent bell on the other side of the bridge. He could see Xiaobao through the bell. Xiaobao's entire body was so red it was almost purple. The array patterns on his body were glowing brightly, as if he was about to explode at any moment.
The most eye-catching thing about the bell was not the exploding Xiaobao, but an hourglass that was about to empty.
The hourglass was also glowing a blinding red, warning its user that it was about to lose its effect.
Even if Li Chengfeng was an idiot, he would know that this was a magical item that could temporarily freeze time and space. Everything within this space would be frozen, and time would completely stop inside.
This was a magical item that could turn the tides of the battle. It was a top-grade magical item, and its value was not any less than Li Chengfeng's Hundred Three Jade Token!
But now … in order to save Xiaobao, Little Bell had taken out her trump card.
Li Chengfeng immediately screamed at Yuehan, "Yuehan, hurry!"
Yuehan had already flown over. As soon as she arrived in front of the Dingchen Bell, the colorful bell trembled violently. Then, countless cracks appeared on its body, and with a loud crack, it shattered into countless pieces, quickly dissipating into the air.
At this moment, the mechanical puppet in the Dingchen Bell began to tremble violently. Yuehan quickly pointed at it, and a spot of light was sucked out of the mechanical puppet's mouth and flew to Yuehan's fingertip. Yuehan then pointed at Xiaobao's body, and the spot of light quickly entered Xiaobao's body.
Just as Yuehan pulled Xiaobao's soul out, Li Chengfeng quickly manipulated the power of flowers and plants to pull the mechanical puppet into the bottomless cave below the stone bridge.
This mechanical puppet flickered with a dazzling red light. The red light on its body was so intense that it looked like a red ball of light that was constantly falling. When it fell from the size of a human to the size of a fist, it exploded with a bang, and a terrifying red energy surged up from the bottom of the cave.
Li Chengfeng was looking down when he saw what was happening. He immediately ignored the pain in his body and jumped off the stone bridge. The red light filled the entire Abyss Grotto like a raging wave, shooting up the rock walls and hitting the ceiling of the grotto.
"Run!"
Li Chengfeng screamed in terror. He manipulated the flowers and plants to pull out the Sunset Spear and threw it towards himself. At the same time, he grabbed Yuehan and caught the spear. Just as he was about to shout at Grand Senior Sister, Liu Sumei, Zhao Feiyue and Little Bell to run, he saw that they had already rushed to the front. Li Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately pulled Yuehan and ran.
Rumble!
The earth shook and the mountains shook. A huge crater was formed on the ceiling of the underground cave. However, the energy that had nowhere to disperse instantly surged into every crack in the walls of the cave, but most of it surged into the tunnel at the stone bridge entrance. The angry red flow chased after Li Chengfeng and the others like a demon.
Li Chengfeng felt as if he had used up all his strength. In just a short while, he had reached Xiaobao's side. Xiaobao's soul had just returned to his body, and he opened his eyes in a daze. The first thing he saw was a bloodied Li Chengfeng running towards him. His hair was disheveled and his face was ferocious, as if he was a savage who had just fought and was about to devour him. Xiaobao raised his arms and screamed in fear.
Li Chengfeng dashed past Xiaobao and picked him up as if he was picking up a little chick.
Xiaobao covered his face and cried, "Don't eat me!"
Li Chengfeng hugged him and ran as fast as he could, cursing, "What the hell are you screaming for?!
Don't you recognise me? "
"Young … Young Master?"
Xiaobao was overjoyed when he heard the voice. He hugged Li Chengfeng's neck and burst into tears. "Young Master, I knew you'd come to save me!"
Li Chengfeng's eyes rolled back. "F * ck you! Are you trying to kill me?!"
Only then did Xiaobao realize that the terrifying red current was following him like a shadow, and it was getting closer and closer. Xiaobao panicked, "Young Master, run! Run! Run!"
Li Chengfeng yelled, "I don't need you to tell me that!"
Yuehan scolded angrily, "Can the two of you stop talking nonsense?!
We're all going to die if we don't hurry! "
Li Chengfeng shut his mouth and held his breath as he sprinted. Grand Senior Sister and the rest had already rushed into the underground staircase and screamed in unison, "Quick!
Hurry!
Hurry! "
Li Chengfeng frantically controlled the plants to block the path behind him while he carried Xiaobao and Yuehan into the staircase. The moment they reached the staircase, Zhao Feiyue, Liu Sumei, Grand Senior Sister and Little Bell used their remaining magical energy to cast a magical barrier in front of them.
With a loud bang, the red torrent instantly collided with the cyan magic light wall. It was like a roaring beast madly slamming into the wall, causing cracks to appear on the wall and the wall to sway and loosen.
Zhao Feiyue, Grand Senior Sister, Liu Sumei, and Little Bell all spat out a mouthful of blood. Just as they watched in despair as the wall of light was about to shatter, the staircase suddenly moved. Then, the staircase creaked as it was pulled upwards. In just a few moments, it had risen more than a meter.
Zhao Feiyue and the rest were stunned. They looked up to see flowers and vines growing all around the derrick, forming ropes that pulled the staircase upwards.
Grand Senior Sister immediately said, "Quick, set up the light barrier below the staircase!"
Zhao Feiyue, Liu Sumei, and Little Bell were all very intelligent women. They immediately reacted. The four of them channeled their mana and once again set up a barrier below the stairs.
Since the ladder had already been dragged up, the entrance of the ladder below was now empty. The furious red flow gushed into it, and the power that was rushing horizontally along the derrick changed into a force that was rushing upwards.
But when this force hit the magic barrier, it violently pushed the ladder upwards like a rocket!
It was so fast that Li Chengfeng, Xiaobao and the rest could not help but scream. In less than half a minute, they were 'blasted' to the entrance at the top of the staircase.
If Li Chengfeng had not 'cushioned' the top of the derrick with plants and vines, the staircase would have been smashed into powder.
Fortunately, the raging red current was already at the end of its tether. When Li Chengfeng and the rest reached the top, they quickly rushed out of the staircase. The raging red current broke out of the staircase behind them, chasing them for more than ten metres before it finally stopped and began to retreat.
But Li Chengfeng and the rest did not dare to stop. They dashed towards the centre of the stone chamber. Although there was a stone platform in the centre of the chamber, it was less than twenty metres from the ground. It was not a problem for Li Chengfeng and the rest.
The moment they broke through the wall of the secret room and the bright sunlight shone on them, they stopped and looked at each other, still in shock.
Compared to the bone-chilling cold in the stone room and the cave, Li Chengfeng had never felt that the winter sun could be so warm!
Everyone looked at each other and saw that they were all in a sorry state with bloodstains all over their bodies. Zhao Feiyue leaned on her sword and bent over, panting heavily. Grand Senior Sister struggled to stand, maintaining her stubbornness and pride, but her swaying body and stumbling footsteps revealed her weakness.
Liu Sumei and Little Bell snuggled up to each other, both feeling lucky to have survived the ordeal.
Yuehan was in a good condition but she looked at the two men beside her strangely.
Li Chengfeng was carrying Xiaobao in a princess carry while Xiaobao had his arm around Li Chengfeng's neck. Both of them were panting heavily, one was pale while the other was rosy.
