Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 152 Tacit understanding
"Go right, don't go back!" Gu Jinheng reminded Grandma Axun.

Grandma Axun dodged quickly.

After a series of indistinguishable banging sounds, the noise slowed down, but the monster seemed to be wandering in the darkness.

Gu Jinheng said again: "Huyan, it went to your place."

After he finished speaking, everyone could feel the pressure building up. It must be Gu Jinheng assisting Huyan Weizhao in controlling the monster's body.

But the monster did not fall down. It let out a painful groan. Judging from the sound, it just slowed down.

Huyan Weizhao drew his weapon, and it was difficult for everyone to tell what was happening.

Then there was a cracking sound and some metal fell to the ground.

"My dagger is broken! This monster's body is too hard, and my weapon can't compete with it." Huyan Weizhao shouted after cursing.

He thought that the place was too narrow and he could not use his full strength, and might hurt his companions instead. So, like Pei Nai and Han Ruize, he did not dare to use his original weapons.

After Grandma Axun escaped, she said, "This is a monster native to the meteorite. Who among you has a weapon made of Gongshan Black Stone?"

"Everyone else get out of the way and retreat to my side. Gu Jinheng, report your position!" Pei Nai's words were sonorous and powerful, and they echoed as they hit the ground.

Everyone moved together and made way for her.

Pei Nai took out the Ling Yue Spear and listened to Gu Jinheng pointing out for her: "Go up to the right, three meters away."

"what?"

Pei Nai was ready to attack, but he failed to react and hesitated, thinking about the exact location.

Han Ruize spoke in the darkness, "What he meant is, at the initial position of Yin, use 60% of your strength and pull to the end!"

"Oh!" Pei Nai understood instantly, raised his gun and rushed forward, slashing down.

There was a sharp sound as the air was struck, and the sound of the gun tip cutting through flesh and blood echoed immediately.

The monster howled and shook its body in anger.

Pei Nai did not give it a chance to fight back. He retracted his gun and turned sideways. The tip of the gun passed through the sky, swept it from a high altitude, and slashed towards the lower right.

The spear is sharpened by the wind.

With the sound of cracking stone wall, the monster fell heavily to the ground.

"Is it dead?" Pei Nai stopped shooting and identified the monster's movements, worried that it was not dead yet and might turn around again and attack from behind.

Gu Jinheng said in a strange tone, "Dead."

Daxian laughed out loud, without restraint. Pei Nai could even imagine the corners of his eyes curved in the darkness.

"What are you laughing at?" Pei Nai asked him.

Da Xian replied: "When I said 'dead', it didn't sound like I was talking about a monster, but rather about my own heart. I must be feeling overwhelmed by the tacit understanding between you and Han Ruize, but I can't say it out loud."

Pei Nai reacted and coughed to cover it up, "Gu Jinheng and I have never fought together. Isn't this normal?"

Daxian seemed to be in a good mood. "No need to say more, I understand. I am so happy to be with you."

"Don't be together, who is with you? We are in an alliance, you are with us." Pei Nai refuted him again.

Daxian didn't argue with her, but just smiled again.

While they were talking, Grandma Xun had already started looking for a exit.

In the darkness, Pei Nai leaned towards Gu Jinheng.

She was still worried that she had recognized the wrong person, until she smelled the familiar scent with a hint of ambergris, and then she felt at ease and took his hand.

She put her hand into his palm in a comforting manner and intertwined her fingers with his.

Gu Jinheng's expression was hidden in the endless darkness, and Pei Nai could not observe his emotions.

But after she did this, Gu Jinheng used his other hand to gently pinch the soft flesh on the side of her palm as a response to her.

After Grandma Axun found the passage, everyone left.

They passed through more than ten different caves, during which they encountered an original monster and two mutated humanoid creatures. The original monster in the meteorite was more ferocious and difficult to subdue.

The one they saw had four heads sticking out of its muddy body, with twisted fangs, red liquid constantly oozing out, and a dirty gray-black film covering the places where its eyeballs should be.

Its body, with its meridians and bones exposed, was a dark blue color like death.

If a mentally fragile person looks at it, he may become limp and unable to move.

The original monster's body is extremely hard, and only the Wanyue Blood Whip or Lingyue Spear can cause damage to it.

Fortunately, Pei Nai and his team cooperated well and quickly resolved the situation without any casualties.

Finally they found the entrance to the fourth realm of the lower level. After landing, they saw a cave room similar to the one just now.

Grandma Axun led them through two melted stone wall passages, where they unexpectedly met someone familiar.

This is a large and spacious cave.

As soon as Pei Nai came in, he heard Grandma Axun's contemptuous questioning, "You have been walking for most of the day, and you are still in the Fourth Region?!"

There were many of Pei Nai's acquaintances across the street.

Tao Jiang Tianfu Zhou Yuliang, Changxing Gang's leader Master Qianxuan and his disciple Wei Kang, as well as many strangers.

I guess they are the people from the underworld who gathered to rescue us.

There was another one, whom Yixi had introduced to Pei Nai at the Dengyun Heroes Conference, so she was familiar with him.

The man was wearing a long yellow gown, and he looked handsome and elegant, with a noble and proud air.

He was the champion of the fourth year of the Dengyun Heroes Conference, one of the Five Mountains along with Han Ruize, and the direct descendant of Qi Yue Bai Gun - Qu Mufeng.

Wei Kang saw Pei Nai and waved to her enthusiastically.

Pei Nai followed his example, raised his arms high and waved twice as a greeting.

Zhou Yuliang was also looking at Pei Nai, smiling and nodding, which meant hello.

"New friend?" Gu Jinheng asked beside her.

Pei Nai nodded, "Yeah, I met him at the Dengyun Heroes Conference."

"Da Xian is right. I really want to see what you looked like then." Gu Jinheng's eyes were a little dim, as if he was depressed.

Pei Nai patted him, "It's no different than my usual fights."

"I heard that you used sword, stick, whip and palm, and even used the Seven-Step Combo. You are so arrogant. I also want to see it." Han Ruize was trying to stop her.

Pei Nai glanced at him and said, "One hundred taels of silver notes, and I will show you how to use them one by one after the twenty-one domains. If you pay to watch, add another two hundred, and I can use swords, arrows, axes, and spears."

Han Ruize sneered, looked away and looked across.

At this time, Qu Mufeng was explaining the reason to Grandma Axun, "The entrance to the fifth domain vegetation layer has always been closed. We have circled the periphery for no less than five times, and there is no way to go inside."

Grandma Axun was not in a hurry to criticize them. Instead, she took out rice paper and a charcoal pen from her package and said, "Draw the paths you took in the third and fourth domains and the entrances and exits of the caves for me to see."

"Are you going to draw the third domain as well?" Qu Mufeng asked.

Grandma Axun was not polite, "Draw!"

The mother-in-law had her reasons for doing this, and it would be much faster than them groping around again.

Qu Mufeng called Zhou Yuliang and others over.

Everyone was recalling the route and quickly drawing a map.

There were already a lot of people gathered there, so Wei Kang walked towards Pei Nai and the others.

He bowed to Gu Jinheng with some fear, then moved away awkwardly.

He looked at the Hunxi Whip on Han Ruize's waist with admiration and said to Han Ruize, "Are you Wanyue Blood Whip - General Han Ruize?"
