Chapter 41 The Last Time
Chapter 41 The Last Time
After a moment's thought, she made a decision: "From now on, Liu Fei, you will be in charge of controlling the monsters when we encounter them, and try to avoid combat. We must speed up and get to the dungeon as soon as possible."
Chu Shihhan resolved to stop fighting the monsters and focus all her efforts on pushing the team forward.
Liu Fei nodded in agreement: "Okay."
The team then accelerated its advance.
When she encountered the monster again, Liu Fei did not hesitate to use her skills to control it. A wind cage trapped the monster, rendering it unable to move.
Chu Shihhan led the others to take the opportunity to bypass the monsters and continue heading towards the dungeon.
Along the way, they encountered several more monsters, but they passed through them all successfully under Liu Fei's control.
Finally, they arrived near a swamp.
"Keep going! You're almost there!" Chu Shihhan encouraged.
Just as Chu Shihhan had predicted, they had fallen behind.
Other teams had already reached the vicinity of the swamp and were far ahead of them.
A large number of ghostly wolves and other creatures were seen circling around the swamp, and mud pits were everywhere.
Between the mud pits, crooked paths wind their way through the gaps.
By this time, some teams had already arrived around the mud pit and were clearing out the monsters in the area, preparing to enter the swamp.
The depths of the swamp were shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see anything further in.
Chu Shihhan gritted her teeth, a determined glint in her eyes. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "If we just charge straight in like this, are we confident we can break through the encirclement?"
Liu Fei gently shook her head and replied in a serious tone, "There are simply too many of them. I'm afraid I can't fully control the situation with my abilities." Her eyes were filled with helplessness and worry.
Then, Liu Fei added, "Moreover, these monsters are at least at the fifth level of the Divine Venerable Realm, so my chances of successfully controlling them are very low, and the possibility of failure is extremely high." Because the monsters are of a higher level than Liu Fei, she might make a mistake when using her skills.
In fact, they had tried many times on the road, although sometimes they failed.
Nevertheless, they persevered. However, facing so many powerful monsters now, the consequences of losing control would be unimaginable.
Upon hearing this, Chu Shihhan frowned and pondered to herself.
If we choose to clear these monsters one by one, it will take a lot of time, and we won't be able to reach our destination in time.
However, if they choose to take a detour, it will take more than an hour, which would mean missing this important trial.
However, if they rushed straight in without Liu Fei's effective control, they would likely get into trouble or even be surrounded by so many monsters.
This undoubtedly poses a huge risk to the entire team, and could even lead to their complete annihilation.
At this moment, Chu Shihhan felt torn and didn't know what to do.
Ye Chuxue looked at the road ahead; she had found the shortest route.
"Let me try it."
At this moment, Ye Chuxue suddenly whispered.
Upon hearing this, Mu Feng revealed a disdainful smile and almost instinctively sneered, "You come? What can a mere Divine Lord Realm cultivator like you do?"
Aside from occasionally releasing ice shards to help control the monsters, Ye Chuxue didn't do anything else along the way. This made Mu Feng doubt her abilities.
Because Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue did not reveal their true identities, Chu Shihan and the others did not know their true strength.
However, at that moment, Song Wanning gave Mu Feng a cold look, her eyes revealing a hint of displeasure.
Chu Shih-Han glared at Mu Feng, signaling him to be quiet.
Then, Chu Shihhan turned to look at Ye Chuxue and asked calmly, "What do you plan to do?"
Ye Chuxue smiled slightly, and the jade plate in her hand began to emit a dazzling white light, enveloping everyone. As the white light shone, everyone's bodies gradually became ethereal.
"Alright, that way they won't notice us," Ye Chuxue said softly.
Zhang Yang and Liu Fei watched this scene in astonishment. They never expected that Ye Chuxue would have such amazing means to make people disappear.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Chu Shihhan's eyes, but she still cautiously reminded, "But we can't let our guard down, after all, these monsters all have powerful sensory abilities."
Ye Chuxue nodded, indicating that she understood. She knew that although they were now invisible, they still needed to be careful to avoid being discovered by the monster.
The group slowly began to advance into the swamp. Along the way, they proceeded cautiously, trying their best not to make any noise.
Strangely, not a single monster noticed them. The group thus successfully crossed the swamp and arrived at the foot of a mountain.
Chu Shihhan breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled at Ye Chuxue, saying, "Well done."
Song Wanning smiled and said, "That's really impressive."
Zhang Yang and Liu Fei looked at Ye Chuxue with admiration, their eyes filled with gratitude. They were so grateful to her this time; otherwise, they might have encountered a lot of trouble.
Just then, Mu Feng suddenly spoke up: "Why didn't you do this at the beginning? Otherwise, we would have reached the mountain long ago."
Ye Chuxue gave him a cold look, secretly thinking: Is this guy an idiot? Releasing it continuously consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
Song Wanning looked at him coldly and said indifferently, "This is the last time."
Mu Feng sneered, his face full of disdain: "You only got in because of connections..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Shihhan suddenly interrupted him: "Enough, shut up."
Mu Feng's face darkened, but he kept his mouth shut. He knew he had already angered the others, and if he continued, he might be isolated.
Chu Shihhan understood that Mu Feng had targeted the two newcomers repeatedly, especially Ye Chuxue.
Ye Chuxue hardly said a word; it was Mu Feng who was targeting her, making it obvious to anyone who was at fault.
Just then, a sharp, piercing cry rang out, like a thunderclap ripped through the sky.
Everyone looked up at the sound and saw an enormous snake shadow appear on the distant mountain. The snake shadow was so huge that it was astonishing, like a small mountain stretching across the mountainside.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the snake possessed eight ferocious and terrifying heads, each one waving its fangs and claws, sending chills down one's spine. Its eyes flashed with an eerie red light, like burning flames, radiating an endless aura of evil.
"It's Yamata no Orochi!" Chu Shihhan said solemnly. Her voice carried a hint of shock and fear, as if she had heard of this legendary serpent.
"They must be from Japan. What are they trying to do?" someone asked, puzzled. This sudden turn of events plunged everyone into tension and unease.
However, just as everyone was discussing this, a terrified scream came from the mountaintop. Immediately afterward, countless figures rushed down the mountain – the same groups that had gone up earlier. These people were pale-faced, their eyes filled with panic, clearly having encountered something terrible.
As they appeared, a large number of monsters suddenly emerged from the mountaintop, surging down the mountain like a tide. These monsters varied in form, but without exception, they all exuded a powerful aura that sent chills down one's spine.
At this moment, everyone felt unprecedented pressure and fear. Their faces turned extremely pale, their hearts filled with anxiety and worry. How could they cope with such a massive beast tide?
