Chapter 605 Take action!

More and more monsters appeared, and the group was soon overwhelmed.

People kept having their hearts ripped out, and the eldest brother watched helplessly as the monster devoured those hearts, his eyes turning red with anxiety.

But he's barely able to save himself, so he can't help those people.

Finally, even he himself was grabbed by the monster, and it forcibly ripped out his heart.

The eldest brother collapsed to the ground, staring at the blood-soaked ground, his heart filled with endless regret.

The older generation's words were so straightforward, yet they mistakenly thought the other party was after the treasure...

But now that I think about it, if there is a treasure, why doesn't the auction house just quietly empty it out itself instead of putting it up for auction?
From the very beginning, this was a premeditated trap.

And they, driven by greed, lost their lives.

The eldest brother closed his eyes in remorse and breathed his last.

In the entire mine, only corpses remained, along with a monster that was swallowing hearts.

……

The ground was littered with severed limbs and broken bodies; all that remained before Song Wanning's eyes was a pile of monster corpses.

Blood flowed continuously, staining the surrounding land red.

The golden sword was covered in blood, all from slaying monsters.

But it was somewhat excited, and its eyes even turned red.

They couldn't even feel their own energy being depleted.

The other little guys were in similar situations; they all put in their best effort to deal with the monsters, and it took a lot of hard work to kill them all.

"Sister, there are just too many of these monsters."

"How exactly did they manage to hide inside? There's such a tiny gap; I wonder if there are any more?"

Its eyes were full of doubt as it peered intently through the crack.

Song Wanning also went over and tried to probe the gap with her divine sense, but she was blocked as soon as she touched it.

She had no choice but to withdraw her divine sense. She lured the monsters outside for a while longer, and only withdrew it after confirming that no more monsters were coming out.

The surrounding area was a mess. She threw a fireball, which burned all the corpses to ashes.

After confirming that everything was cleaned up, she led the little ones to other locations on the map.

There are five points marked on the map. Two of them should have been processed by now, leaving three points remaining.

So she began searching one by one, according to their distance.

When they got to the fourth position, Liu Xingzhi arrived.

"Junior Sister Song."

Liu Xingzhi stopped calling Song Wanning "Junior Sister" and promoted her seniority without her knowledge.

Song Wanning didn't find it strange, after all, they were both Nascent Soul cultivators, so it was acceptable to determine their seniority based on their cultivation level.

So she smiled and replied, "Senior Brother Liu."

Liu Xingzhi nodded slightly and looked at a small cliff in front of him.

"The monster is here?"

He sent out his divine sense, but it seemed that he did not find anything unusual.

"Ah."

Song Wanning nodded and recounted the whole story.

Upon hearing that all the locations marked on the map contained monsters, Liu Xingzhi's expression turned completely cold.

"Lanyuan? Their intentions are despicable!"

He had attended Lanyuan's auctions before, but that was decades ago. He never expected something like this to happen now.

"Currently, even though all the various forces know of the monster's existence, they haven't taken it seriously."

Song Wanning sighed. None of those people had ever witnessed the terrifying power of the monster wave, so they naturally didn't take it to heart.

After searching for a while, I put the matter out of my mind.

Judging from the current situation, the monsters are likely already scattered in different corners.

"I now suspect that there is a huge conspiracy behind these monsters."

"We've even begun to suspect that someone deliberately orchestrated and bred these monsters!"

Song Wanning stated her assessment. "The Sect Master is currently investigating the forces behind Lan Garden; presumably, there will be results soon!"

After saying that, she released the little creatures and they flew down the cliff.

Liu Xingzhi didn't speak again, but his expression became even colder.

His murderous aura grew stronger.

Since Song Wanning has said this, the truth is probably pretty much the truth.

He leaped up and flew towards the bottom of the cliff.

Soon, the screams of a monster echoed from below the cliff.

Song Wanning released her divine sense and watched as the monsters emerged one by one, only to be swiftly killed by Liu Xingzhi.

His moves were incredibly powerful; a single strike wiped out a whole group of monsters, greatly increasing his speed.

Song Wanning didn't make a move; she just stood by and kept watch in case of any unexpected situations.

With Liu Xingzhi's help, all the monsters were killed in less than a quarter of an hour.

They disposed of the body and flew back up.

"go!"

Song Wanning acted decisively and without wasting any more time, heading towards the next location.

The two didn't say much along the way, but they didn't feel awkward either.

Soon, we arrived at the last marked location.

"A mineral vein?"

Song Wanning's eyelids twitched, and she instantly thought of the monsters in the lower realm, which she had discovered in the abandoned mine of the He family.

However, we only saw one at the time and didn't know it was a social animal.

"I'll go in and take a look."

Holding a long sword, Liu Xingzhi walked directly into the mine.

Song Wanning was silent for a moment, then followed her inside.

However, the scene she saw after entering made her pause for a moment.

The ground was littered with signs of battle and lay empty corpses. The air was thick with the smell of decay and the stench of blood.

She was very familiar with those people; they were the same group she had rescued before.

Song Wanning fell silent. These people... were actually courting death.

"Sister, you warned them, yet they still dared to come..."

Even Long Ling couldn't help but complain.

"That's it, they're all really dead!!!"

It snorted coldly, thinking that these people were truly ungrateful.

Liu Xingzhi also looked over and realized who these people were.

He wasn't surprised. After all, treasures are tempting, and the cultivation world is full of dangers. For the sake of survival, few people are willing to give up the opportunity to learn about it.

These people, of course, were unwilling.

Song Wanning showed no expression; good words are useless against a damned devil.

There was nothing she could do.

She burned the corpse clean before looking at the opening where the blood had pooled.

Without needing to say more, Liu Xingzhi noticed the spot and immediately took out his long knife and slashed his arm.

Fresh blood flowed down his arm.

tick.

Blood splattered on the ground.

Song Wanning's gaze sharpened, and in the next instant, she saw a black shadow emerge from the small gap.

"Jiji——"

The monster excitedly rushed out and pounced on Liu Xingzhi.

The blade flashed, and before it could even get close, the monster was cleaved into a bloody mist and vanished into the air.

With the death of one of their kind, the monsters in the crevice became restless, emerging one after another and swarming towards Liu Xingzhi.
