Asking them to go together is probably just a polite gesture.

She guessed in her heart that he wanted to abandon them and leave, and Geng Hui believed in her own judgment.

Tsk, what should I do? Should I follow my instincts or hold my nose and act together with these people from Hehuan Valley? Geng Hui fell into deep thought.

Seeing that he was still thinking, Qian Lin waved to his team without any hesitation, "We're leaving first, you stay here and think about it slowly."

Wasting time waiting for this person to figure it out? How shameless!

Seeing that Qian Lin was about to leave with everyone from Hehuan Valley, Geng Hui quickly made a decision that it would be safer to act together in this secret realm full of dangers.

Although the Grandmaster of Hehuan Valley is a little weak, he is still a Grandmaster after all, and is definitely qualified to be a meat shield and cannon fodder.

"Tsk." Qian Lin snorted in pretended dissatisfaction when he found out that Geng Hui really followed him shamelessly.

But in her heart she was still somewhat happy. The master of the Zhantian Sect had a good sword. As long as she mastered how to use it, this time's exploration of the secret realm would definitely be a lot easier.

On one hand, you want to use the other party as a meat shield, and on the other hand, you want to use the other party as a weapon. This can probably be considered... a two-way approach.

After flying for half a day over the lava sea on flying swords, everyone finally saw the trace of land. This made everyone happy, as they finally escaped from the boundless lava sea.

There was nothing special about the land that appeared in the field of vision. It was bare and without any vegetation cover. At first glance, there were only a few lonely huge skeletons telling everyone present that there had been life here.

Landing in front of one of the skeletons, Qian Lin looked up at the skeleton that looked like a small hill, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of creature left behind these remains.

But after searching her memory, she couldn't find a creature that corresponded to the huge skeleton in front of her.

She didn't even expect others to know about this creature, as she didn't even know about it herself.

While she was thinking, Geng Hui had already raised his sword and chopped at the skeleton. With the sound of metal collision, a deep crack appeared on the huge skeleton.

Geng Hui couldn't help but frown. The spiritual sword in his hand was no ordinary thing. It was not inferior to the spiritual swords of those Sword Sect disciples. But when it collided with the skeleton, it failed to cut it in half.

The hardness of this skeleton was beyond his imagination.

"Perhaps it is the skeleton left behind by a master-level spirit beast, but why would a master-level spirit beast die in such a place?" Qian Lin took a look at the marks left by Geng Hui's chopping and made some judgment about the strength of this skeleton when it was alive.

The bodies of Grandmaster-level spirit beasts are extremely strong, so naturally the strength of their remaining skeletons is not much worse.

Reaching out his hand and summoning a water sword, Qian Lin swung the sword at the mark.

"Sure enough, the hardness is a bit outrageous." The water sword fell on the skeleton, and Qian Lin immediately identified the specific strength of the skeleton. This thing could probably be sold for a good price if it was taken outside.

Unlike Geng Hui's sword, Qian Lin's sword is not only threatening in the moment of chopping. When the blade touches the skeleton, this sharp blade made of water begins to vibrate rapidly, cutting the extremely hard skeleton bit by bit.

Crack... After a few breaths, Qian Lin removed a piece of bone along the mark left by Geng Hui, and played with it slowly in the palm of his hand.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but after cutting off this piece of bone, the spiritual energy in her body seemed to become more active.

"Did you find anything?" Geng Hui asked, interrupting Qian Lin's thoughts.

"It's very hard. I don't know if it's good for making soup."

“…Is this what you discovered?”

"Can I pull it up and let this spirit beast that has been dead for who knows how many years tell me who it is?" Qian Lin squeezed the small piece of bone in his hand and crushed it into powder. He shook his head and said, "If you are interested, you can put it in your storage bag. Well, if your storage bag has that much space."

This time, Geng Hui didn't say anything.

He looked at Qian Lin's fair little hands with surprise. It was these hands that crushed the small piece of bone directly without any spiritual power.

The bones were also ground into a fine powder.

Is this kind of strength something a cultivator from Hehuan Valley can possess? Geng Hui's eyes changed when he looked at Qian Lin.

He walked silently to the skeleton. He also wanted to learn from Qian Lin and crush a piece of bone, but no matter how hard he tried, the skeleton remained as motionless as a mountain.

This time, his look became even weirder.

Could it be that I was wrong this time? This black hair from Hehuan Valley actually has some meaning?

"I think this fellow from Zhan Tian Sect is a little sick in the head. Why is he staring at this bone? Do you really want to take this thing outside?" Qian Lin whispered to Nan Xiao.

"It would be strange if the people of the magic sect had no problems with their brains." Nan Xiao also replied in a low voice.

"That makes sense." Qian Lin glanced at Geng Hui who was still in a daze, shook his head, and shouted to his men who were exploring separately, "If you don't find anything else, leave quickly. I feel that the environment here is too disgusting."

The big guys in Hehuan Valley naturally had no objections. They knocked around the skeleton for several times but couldn't come to any valuable conclusions. Now that Qian Lin said he wanted to leave, they would definitely agree.

And except for Nan Xiao and Qian Handan, two local people from the southern border, the other girls really had no good impression of this place.

The fire aura is too active and the temperature is too high.

The three young ladies from Hehuan Valley were fine, but Qian Lin really couldn't stand the environment here. She could hardly absorb any water spiritual energy. She was like a fish thrown onto dry land. There was no way she could feel comfortable.

Now she could only hope that not every place in this secret realm was like this, otherwise she would really go crazy.

"What should we do with those from the Zhan Tian Sect? Why not call them?" Qian Handan walked to Qian Lin and asked directly without lowering her voice.

"I don't believe these people didn't hear it. Do I have to lower my face and yell at these brainless people?" Qian Lin raised his eyebrows, but didn't lower his voice.

The weakest cultivators present were at the Body Tempering Stage, so no one failed to hear clearly what Qian Lin said.

Geng Hui raised his head and looked at Qian Lin, and found that the black-haired man from Hehuan Valley was staring at him with a provocative look, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

I really want to kill this annoying guy.

332. Weirdness

"This secret realm is very strange. Although there are changes between day and night, I don't know what is shining in the sky." Looking up at the sky that had become pitch black, Nan Xiao scratched his head.

The sky turned dark not long ago. It took only about the time of an incense stick to go from bright to pitch black.

However, even though the sky got dark, the temperature didn't drop much and it was still as hot as before.

The group has already taken out spiritual objects for lighting from their storage bags, but no one knows what kind of dangers are hidden under the cover of night.

"Who knows? Anyway, it's better to be cautious. I'm a little nervous." Qian Lin said softly to Nan Xiao, and stretched out his hand to pull Nan Xiao to his side, so as to prevent the girl from the Nan family from being killed by the dangers in the secret realm.

If you want to find the spiritual fire hidden in this secret realm, Nan Xiao is indispensable.

The people from Hehuan Valley and the few people from Zhantian Sect formed two groups. They didn't trust each other and preferred to stay with their own people.

Qian Lin had no objection to this. Since the people from Zhantian Sect were unwilling to come, it was impossible for her to invite them with a flattering face. If they encountered any danger at that time, it would depend on their own abilities.

After walking a little further, Qian Lin suddenly stretched out his hand and signaled everyone to stop.

A slight collision sound entered her perception, and at the same time, she also felt a slight tremor under her feet.

As time went by, the collision became louder and louder, and the vibration became stronger and stronger.

At first, only Qian Lin felt something was wrong, but now, everyone realized that something was wrong.

It seemed like something terrible was approaching.

"Get ready for battle, something's coming!"

There was no need to say this. After feeling the increasing vibrations, all the magic monks had already taken out their weapons and were ready.

"The target is underground, and its target is us!" Finally, Qian Lin's consciousness captured the guy who caused all this noise, and then her face changed and she shouted loudly, "Get out of the way!"

Qian Lin picked up Nan Xiao and left the spot on tiptoe. At the same time, the others who heard Qian Lin's order also quickly carried out Qian Lin's order.

The next moment after everyone left their original positions, several fiery red tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground and shattered the place where everyone had just landed. Then, these tentacles quickly retracted into the ground, but this did not mean that the enemies underground had given up the attack.

Just a moment after the tentacles retracted into the ground, an extremely huge worm suddenly jumped out from the ground that had just been shattered by the tentacles and pounced on the Zhantian Sect monks who thought they could stay out of it.

"Lava worm? How could it grow so big?!" The moment she saw the attacker, Qian Handan recognized the creature, but she was not sure whether it was the creature she was familiar with.

Because the size of this worm has exceeded the upper limit of the size of this species, Qian Handan feels that this worm may no longer be the creature she imagined.

"This kind of worm has a strong resistance to fire, and its skin is extremely thick, which allows it to survive in lava. Its food is also lava, but the upper limit of the strength of this race should only be the Body Tempering Realm!" Qian Handan quickly told Qian Lin the information about the worm, "But this worm is definitely at the Grandmaster Realm!"

"A bug at the Grandmaster level... This secret realm is truly blessed with talented people and beautiful scenery." Qian Lin frowned. She felt that the worm looked really ugly, which made her, a beauty-obsessed woman, very unhappy.

While the two were talking, Geng Hui had already started fighting the worms with a sword.

The Zhan Tian Sect's monks were known for their offensive power, but the worm's thick skin made Geng Hui's attacks seem clownish.

After a few sword energies fell, the worm was not even injured, just a little skin was broken.

Other Zhan Tian Sect monks also wanted to step forward to help, but the noise of the fight between the worm and Geng Hui was too loud, and these monks in the Body Tempering Realm had no way of getting close, and could only release sword energy from a distance to help.

And how much effect can these sword energies have... well, I can only say that the atmosphere is rendered just right.

"Damn it!" Facing the worm's attack alone, Geng Hui was already somewhat overwhelmed. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he was no match for this worm.

The strength of the two is at the same level, both are in the middle stage of the Grandmaster Realm, but the worm's physical fitness is much better than Geng Hui's.

Whether in terms of strength or defense, Geng Hui is inferior to this worm. His only advantage is probably flexibility.

call out!

A ray of flame hit the worm's body, causing it to let out a sharp cry. This interrupted its attack on Geng Hui, making it a little angry.

The person who released the flame ray was naturally Qian Handan, who received Qian Lin's order to help Geng Hui.

However, lava worms are extremely effective against fire-type monks, and her sneak attack just now only interrupted the worms' attack and did not cause much damage to them.

"Thank you. Let's go together. This bug is very difficult to deal with!" Geng Hui is not a person who repays kindness with enmity. Seeing Qian Handan coming to help, he naturally would not give her a bad face.

"My attack won't do much damage to it. It can only help you delay its actions."

"No problem, I am sure I can kill him!"

Two mid-stage Grandmasters fought fiercely with the worms, and the Body Tempering Realm cultivators all moved away from the battlefield to avoid being hurt by the aftermath of the battle.

In a blink of an eye, there was only one person left on the battlefield who did not participate in the battle.

Qian Lin, she was staring at the giant worm, looking for an opportunity to kill it with one blow.

A crystal clear longbow appeared in his hand. Qian Lin pulled the bowstring, and the spiritual energy in his body turned into an arrow, aiming at the worm's body from a distance.

Because of Xuanming's backlash, she couldn't use her ultimate move like the Falling Star Arrow, and could only resort to using arrows made of water-based spiritual energy which were not very aggressive.

Qian Handan had previously told Qian Lin that lava worms have extremely strong vitality and can grow back even if cut in two. This type of worm has no so-called weaknesses, and there is no shortcut to killing it.

Qian Lin simply didn't think about killing the worm with one strike. She just needed to give the young man from Zhan Tian Sect a chance, and that guy would naturally work hard to kill the worm completely.

"But this guy's strength doesn't seem to be very good, and the ones sent by the Zhantian Sect don't seem to be elite either." Looking at Geng Hui who was struggling to fight the worms, Qian Lin had an impolite idea in his mind.

It seems that the Zhantian Sect cultivator I met before was not that rubbish, right?

In Qian Lin's impression, the cultivators from Zhantian Sect and the madman from Qinglian Sword Sect were sitting at the same table. The two gangs were not much different in lethality, so it didn't make sense that they couldn't inflict any damage on a spirit beast of the same realm.

After thinking about it, there is only one reason, that is, the guy in front of me is just too weak.

"Don't let me be the main output in the end." Muttering softly, Qian Lin continued to gather strength and prepare for a sneak attack.

Qian Handan, the fire master, was completely defeated by the worms. Her spiritual skills were not even enough to tickle the worms. Occasionally, the worms would open their huge mouths like the abyss and swallow her spiritual skills in one gulp, just like eating snacks.

So at this moment, Qian Handan was more focused on using explosions to interrupt the worms' movements, and was playing the supporting role peacefully.

All the pressure of the battlefield was concentrated on Geng Hui, but this master of the Zhan Tian Sect did not lose face for the Zhan Tian Sect. The greater the pressure, the better he performed. He was barely able to fight the worm to a draw now.

Of course, the biggest contributor to the draw was Qian Handan, who assisted from the side. Without Qian Handan's multiple key interruptions, he would not have been able to draw with the worm.

As time passed, the two people on the battlefield also noticed the terrifying spiritual power gathered by Qian Lin. They were not fools and knew that Qian Lin was accumulating strength to give the worm a severe blow.

And now, judging from the fluctuations of spiritual power coming from there, the power accumulated by Qian Lin is enough to cause considerable damage to the worms.

"Are you ready?" Qian Handan asked Qian Lin loudly.

"Be ready and create opportunities for me."

"Row."

Neither Qian Handan nor Geng Hui asked Qian Lin whether he was sure he could hurt the worm. Who else could they trust at this time if not their teammates?

Since Qian Lin wants an opportunity, they will try their best to create opportunities for Qian Lin.

Although the worm is powerful, it has a huge weakness, which is that it has no brain. Under Geng Hui's deliberate seduction, the worm quickly took the bait.

In order to chase Geng Hui who jumped into the sky, the worm drilled out of the ground directly and wanted to swallow Geng Hui in one bite.

Qian Handan was waiting for this opportunity. She used the explosive spiritual skill that she had prepared long ago to fiercely throw it at the worm. The violent shock halted the worm's momentum, and it was about to fall back to the ground the next moment.

At this moment, a water-blue light came from afar and accurately hit the middle part of the worm's body.

The arrow condensed with terrifying spiritual energy tore through the worm's thick skin and penetrated deeply into the worm's body, and this was just the beginning.

After piercing the worm's body, the water spiritual energy in the arrow immediately began to riot and suddenly exploded in the next moment.

From the perspective of others, a big bulge suddenly appeared in the middle of the worm's body, and then cracks appeared on the tough skin. Blue light shone from the worm's body through these cracks, making the whole picture look extremely weird.
