Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 158: Vine Net
I can't die here!
In the critical situation, her five wisdoms were pulled to the peak, and the fierce wind she raised emitted a faint golden light, pushing the gun forward.

The wind from the gun carried supreme power and struck down heavily, causing the ground to completely collapse.

The stones collapsed to the lower level, revealing the passage below.

Pei Nai stepped on the side slope and landed smoothly.

Daxian and the others did not delay for a moment and jumped down immediately.

The lower corridor of the eighteenth domain here is not connected to its entrance. The monsters have been attracted by the horn sound just now, and the road is now empty.

Pei Nai and the others retreated quickly.

A large number of deformed monsters have arrived right above them.

Due to the excessive force, several monsters collided head-on and were killed instantly by the critical hit.

Their bodies fell on the collapsed rocks, blocking part of the passage. In addition, the sunken ground slowed down their impact on Pei Nai and others.

But the monsters kept coming and the corpses piled up, breaking the blockage.

They stepped over the bodies of their companions and pounced on Pei Nai and Da Xian who were behind the palace.

Da Xian's bodyguard carried Grandma Axun on his back, and with the help of two other friends in the martial arts world, he ran quickly ahead, looking for a way to leave the Eighteenth District.

Pei Nai and Daxian fought side by side, resisting wave after wave of attacks from monsters.

However, Keda Xian's personal weapon, the folding fan, had long been destroyed, and the short sword that could have been used to fight was also broken and shattered under the monster's iron-hard body.

"Go find Grandma Xun and the others first! Come pick me up after you find the entrance to the 19th domain!" Pei Nai shouted to him.

Daxian knew that she was asking him to leave, so he stopped where he was, his eyes red, but he was helpless.

Pei Nai defended with his spear and changed his stance to slash, while he said anxiously: "What are you waiting for? Go quickly! Otherwise, we won't be able to find the way!"

"Wait for me!" Daxian seemed to have gone through an extremely painful ideological struggle before turning around and leaving.

Pei Nai fought against a huge number of monsters alone.

As the gunlight swirled, many-limbed, strange-looking corpses fell to the ground, with sticky flesh and black blood splattering everywhere.

As the position was filled, she kept retreating and moving the battlefield.

She was almost numb from killing, but monsters still kept coming through the gaps between the corpses and the cracks in the stone wall, following their fellow victims and jumping towards her.

Her arms were strained when she broke through the stone wall just now. Without a moment's rest, she continued to use the spear, which made the pain more and more unbearable, and the pain almost penetrated into her brain.

She gritted her teeth and endured it.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she heard the sound of anxious footsteps running from behind. She turned around while defending herself and saw Da Xian coming towards her.

"We found the exit! Follow me!" Daxian came behind her.

Pei Nai swung out a large arc of slashing, sweeping far away and creating distance between himself and the monsters.

She turned around and was about to leave with Daxian when he held her hand.

The monster behind them fell down, then got up again and chased after them.

Pei Nai subconsciously ran forward, looking at Da Xian holding her right hand, and shouted stubbornly: "I can run by myself, let go of my hand!"

"What can you say? Do you want to hear how weak your voice is?" Daxian felt distressed and annoyed.

Pei Nai was extremely exhausted, but with the help of Daxian, he couldn't let go.

She gave up for the moment and ran after him in a daze.

Pei Nai's mind went blank, and the first thought that came to his mind was: Don't run into Gu Jinheng now! Otherwise, I really can't explain it.

The second thought that came to her mind was: Who is Da Xian's master? Da Xian's martial arts talent was average, but her Qinggong was pretty good, and she was able to leave the monsters far behind even though she was exhausted.

If I have the chance someday, I will definitely ask his master for some advice.

In front of her was the Second Prince of Qilu, who was a complete stranger two months ago. In the past two months, they had experienced a series of hardships together.

Having survived many life-and-death situations, they have long become friends for life and death.

Behind her were indescribable deformed monsters, countless in number, bringing endless oppressive terror.

This feeling of being cut off from the past made her feel a little dazed for a moment. They passed through nearly twenty complicated forks in the road, and Pei Nai sighed in her heart: Fortunately, Da Xi'an came to pick her up, otherwise she would not be able to get out in an hour.

"We're here, this way!" Daxian led her into a semi-enclosed spacious corridor.

In the middle of the corridor there is a square stone cave entrance leading downwards. It is pitch black and gloomy, and you can't see the bottom at a glance.

This is the nineteenth realm, the vine network layer.

It is so called because the Nineteenth Domain is not the previous zigzag corridor that runs horizontally, but vertical square wells of various widths and depths.

In the middle of the square well, there are a few irregular round holes half a person's height that can be crawled through, connected to each other like a dense spider web.

The inner wall of the square well is covered with native vines from the meteorite.

This vine is not the man-eating vine in the fifth domain. It is harmless to humans and can be used by travelers to hold on to and climb. Therefore, the nineteenth domain is called the vine network layer.

Grandma Axun and the others had already gone down and were waiting for Pei Nai and Da Xian below.

The hordes of monsters were still chasing, and the sound was getting closer.

Pei Nai didn't bother to be humble to Da Xian. Wasting time at this time would undoubtedly be a fatal behavior.

She quickly jumped down from the entrance of the square well, and after falling, she grabbed a vine beside her to steady herself.

Daxian followed closely behind, leaping to her side and tightening the vines to stop her.

A small amount of uniformly-lit water flowed between the vines and branches. Although it was dim, one could still see things barely.

"Will they come down?" Pei Nai asked, looking up at the wellhead.

Da Xian observed the surrounding environment and continued, "I don't think they are afraid of heights."

"Come in quickly!" Grandma Axun was below them, leaning out of a round hole in the opposite stone wall and waving at them.

Pei Nai took immediate action.

He kicked the stone wall, jumped up and grabbed the vines hanging on the opposite side, swung again, lifted the vines that were blocking his way, and got into the round hole.

Daxian waited for her to go in before leaping over.

As he grabbed the vines, the deformed monster above his head arrived.

Most of the monsters stayed above and braked hastily, as if something from the Nineteenth Domain repelled them.

But there were still three of them that didn't care about their own lives and rushed towards Da Xian.

Pei Nai leaned forward, extended his hand to Daxian, lent him help, and pulled him in.

Two mutated monsters missed their target and fell.

The other one used its long flexible limbs to hang on the vines and stuck its head into the hole to bite them.

Pei Nai pushed hard with his spear, piercing its brain.

The monster twitched and collapsed.

Fortunately, the opening of the round hole was not big, and the monster's corpse blocked most of the entrance.

The other two monsters fell to the bottom of the deep well. Disturbed by the environment of the 19th domain, they looked in their direction and quickly climbed back to the 18th domain.

Pei Nai saw that the crisis was temporarily averted and pulled the Lingyue Spear back from the monster's mouth.

The monster's body then fell backwards.

Pei Nai took a breath and sat on the floor in the corridor. At this moment, Da Xian pulled her arms.

"What?" Pei Na subconsciously tried to dodge.

Daxian grabbed her arm forcefully and said, "Check your injury."

"How do you know my arm is injured?" Pei Nai wondered. She felt she had concealed it well.

Daxian was angry with her for the first time, "Do you know that when I rushed over, your hands holding the gun were shaking?"
