The two of them were decisive people. After reaching an agreement, they didn't hesitate and headed straight for the cave. They passed through one cave after another until they were 300 feet away from the cave.
From this position, they could see the dark cave entrance from afar.
Not far away, there's a skeleton. It's the third senior brother who was killed by Sun Lei. "
The celestial food is food for celestial beasts. Celestial beasts can eat it to make their bodies stronger, but it's useless for us.
I didn't expect there to be so much celestial beast food in the Celestial Beast Mansion. All of this must be because of the black celestial food!
Do you know why the black celestial food exists? "Sun Lei looked at the cave entrance and asked softly.
Wang Lin's eyes were calm as he said, "It must be related to the black skeleton. He clearly remembered that the first time he scanned it with his divine sense, he saw the black strand shuttling through the skeleton. Every time it moved, the skeleton would tremble as if it could revive at any time.
"You're quite knowledgeable. The black celestial food must have used some unknown method to devour the body of the skeleton during the calamity of the celestial realm countless years ago. It even devoured the celestial consciousness and primordial spirit. Then it hid inside the skeleton and after a long time, it gained cultivation!
Because of its existence, there are so many celestial beasts here. I'm afraid most of them are its offspring. "
Sun Lei took out a few jade slips from his storage space and placed them on the ground.
Wang Lin was silent.
Sun Lei said, "Fellow cultivator, I'll use a spell to lure out these celestial beasts. We'll destroy as many as we can. Once the black strand appears, we'll immediately escape and meet up at the previous location."
Wang Lin nodded and waved his right hand. The beast trap immediately flew out and turned into a Thunder Frog.
"Thunder Frog!"
Sun Lei's eyes narrowed as he looked deeply at Wang Lin. He was even more certain that this person was hiding his cultivation. Otherwise, how could he capture such a rare high rank spirit beast?
"Let's begin!" Wang Lin said calmly.
Without saying a word, Sun Lei's hands formed a seal and he let out a roar. Suddenly, the sword on his back flew into the air and turned into a ray of sword light that pierced into the cave.
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from within and the sword turned around. Behind the sword was a giant ball of thread. After the ball of thread appeared, countless wriggling threads flew out and connected with each other. They were densely packed as they charged toward Wang Lin.
This scene caused one's scalp to go numb.
Once the wriggling creatures pounced on the skeleton, the skeleton on the ground would be drenched in blood.
Sun Lei let out a roar and the jade slips he had left on the ground shattered one by one. Wisps of seven-colored smoke came out from the slips and drilled into the Celestial Realm threads. The threads twisted as they fell to the ground and began to twitch.
However, there were just too many of them. In just a few breaths' time, the seven-colored smoke had completely dissipated. Sun Lei retreated without saying a word and pointed at his flying sword. Streams of thick Sword Qi flew out and landed on the thin lines. Each time a stream of Sword Qi was fired, a large portion of the thin lines would be destroyed.
Even so, he could see that the cave passage was still surrounded by the endless thin threads. They rushed over recklessly, wanting to devour all living things.
Sun Lei continued to back up. Wang Lin's eyes lit up. The Thunder Frog's stomach suddenly swelled up and the sound of thunder came from within. Then it opened its mouth and spat out a ball of lightning. The ball of lightning flashed with lightning as it shot forward.
In an instant, the thin threads were like crops being harvested by a sickle, twisting their bodies and dissipating into thin air.
Sun Lei was startled. He didn't expect the ball of lightning to be so powerful. His fear of Wang Lin deepened.
The ball of lightning contained the power of the heavens and earth. As it charged forward, it was pushed back more than 30 meters before disappearing. However, the threads continued to charge forward.
Wang Lin retreated and pointed at the Thunder Frog with his right hand. The Thunder Frog roared and its stomach swelled up again. It spat out another ball of lightning. The ball of lightning was surrounded by rings of lightning as it charged toward the threads.
The ball of lightning was powerful, and it brought with it waves of lightning. For the first time, the countless threads seemed to be afraid. They didn't want to charge forward and wanted to retreat.
However, at this moment, a sharp roar came from within the threads. Then, a black dot appeared in the middle of the threads. A thick black thread wriggled out and fearlessly charged toward the ball of lightning.
The Thunder Frog had spat out two balls of lightning in a row. Its eyes were filled with exhaustion and its body was a bit listless.
The moment Wang Lin saw the black thread appear, he waved his right hand and the Thunder Frog returned to his wrist. Then, without any hesitation, he turned around and fled. As he fled, he also pointed at his forehead and summoned many wandering souls.
As for Sun Lei, his eyes revealed a hint of hesitation. He let out a sigh and gave up on the idea of staying here and waiting for the strands to catch up to Wang Lin. After all, this was simply too dangerous. If he wasn't careful, he would die.
As a result, the moment Wang Lin retreated, he also retreated. He chose another direction and quickly escaped.
As for the ball of lightning, after the black thread charged into it, its body trembled and the ball of lightning suddenly shrank. Finally, with a series of crackling sounds, the ball of lightning completely disappeared.
The black thread let out a sharp roar. Its body was no longer pure black. Instead, it was slightly purple, and there were even traces of lightning flowing around it.
Its body shrank and suddenly shot forward. Its speed was so fast that even divine sense couldn't lock onto it.
The place it chose to go wasn't where Wang Lin was going, but Sun Lei.
As Wang Lin moved forward, his expression suddenly changed. He shook the restriction flag, sat down cross-legged, and swallowed a pill. A suction force came from the beast trap. After a long time, the suction force slowly weakened. Wang Lin stood up with an ugly expression.
"This time, the beast trap absorbed spiritual energy half a day earlier. It seems the Thunder Frog has used up too much spiritual energy. Although the trap is useful, the drawback is too big." Wang Lin pondered for a bit and then flew forward.
Along the way, wandering souls passed through the surrounding walls and returned to his forehead. Wang Lin counted and found that the number hadn't decreased. He couldn't help but be happy. It seemed like the black thread had chosen Sun Lei's location.
Not long after, Wang Lin arrived at the cave where he had agreed to meet Sun Lei. He sat down cross-legged and spread out his divine sense. After searching for a bit, he finally found Sun Lei in a cave about ten meters away.
Sun Lei was in a very sorry state. His body was covered in wounds, and one could see that he was wearing silver armor. It must be because of this armor that he had escaped twice.
His right hand was dripping with blood, and he was missing a finger!
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in meditation with a gloomy expression. The moment Wang Lin's divine sense swept by, Sun Lei's expression changed. He immediately sensed it and revealed a look of fear.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. His body suddenly moved, piercing through the cave wall and using the earth escape technique.
Sun Lei clearly noticed this and immediately took out several pills. He painfully inhaled a mouthful of the pills and sat down cross-legged to meditate.
For a Soul Formation cultivator, a distance of ten meters wouldn't take too long. However, there was a strange force blocking the way of the cave. After the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, Wang Lin appeared in the cave Sun Lei was in.
Sun Lei's expression immediately turned ugly. He flicked his right hand and stared at Wang Lin with a gloomy expression.
"Brother Sun, feel free to cultivate. I will protect you!" Wang Lin said calmly.
He sighed in his heart. He didn't know what pill Sun Lei had consumed, but his cultivation had recovered from its previous weakened state to eighty percent. Therefore, Wang Lin decisively gave up on his previous idea.
Sun Lei was startled. He clearly didn't expect Wang Lin to say something like this. He naturally didn't believe it, but his mouth slowly said, "Thank you for your trouble, fellow cultivator."
Wang Lin didn't say anything else and sat down cross-legged.
Sun Lei was cautious the entire time as he slowly refined the pills in his body. After the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn, his cultivation had completely recovered. The way he looked at Wang Lin was no longer gloomy, but slightly warmer.
Sun Lei stood up and said, "Fellow cultivator, my cultivation has recovered. Why don't the two of us continue exploring?"
Wang Lin nodded his head, stood up, and quickly flew toward the cave. Sun Lei followed closely behind.
The two of them didn't say a word along the way. Soon, they arrived at the cave again. As soon as the two of them walked out, they saw a large number of thin threads rushing out from the cave.
Sun Lei's eyes flickered and he said in a low voice, "Fellow cultivator, please step back. This time, I will definitely avenge my broken finger!"
As he spoke, he slapped his storage pouch and a black fan flew out from it.
It was unknown what this fan was made of, but the moment it appeared, the surroundings were filled with a cold aura. Even the walls were covered in a layer of black ice.
The black ice continued to spread, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived next to Wang Lin. Wang Lin's eyes were calm as he waved the restriction flag and black fog surrounded his body. The cold aura circled around Wang Lin's body for a bit before passing by. It only formed a layer of protection between him and Sun Lei.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he silently took out the Flowing Time wood carving from his bag of holding.
At this moment, the thin threads rushed out from the cave again. It was as if their numbers hadn't decreased at all. This time, the black threads were flying in front with the intent to kill.
Sun Lei took a deep breath. His hands quickly formed a seal and he placed his hand on his forehead. Suddenly, his origin soul appeared above his head and grabbed onto the fan. The moment it grabbed onto the fan, his origin soul revealed a painful expression as if the fan was being burned.
His origin soul fiercely waved the fan in front of him. Suddenly, a gust of black wind came from the fan and blew toward the incoming threads.
At this moment, the threads stopped one by one and black ice began to spread. In the blink of an eye, the area around Wang Lin turned into a world of black ice.
Without saying a word, Sun Lei's origin soul returned to his body and charged toward the entrance of the cave. He smiled and said, "Fellow cultivator, my cultivation is limited. I can only seal it for ten breaths of time. I'll go first and come save you later!"
Wang Lin's eyes were calm and there was a hint of mockery on his face.
There's still one more chapter to go. Fellow cultivators, let's go all out with the monthly votes.
Also, although there was one chapter yesterday, there were two chapters inside. I didn't forget to save the chapter yesterday. Today, the heavens can be my witness to your shameless actions!
