In the world of demons and warriors, I slay demons through wordplay.

Wang Xi hid in the cave, trembling all over.

The cave is small, only big enough for one person to fit in.

The stone wall was icy cold, and the chill seeped in through the seams of his clothes, making his teeth chatter.

But this chill was nothing compared to the fear in my heart.

He looked down at his right arm; the skin was torn open, and the wound was still bleeding.

Those are the marks left by the three-eyed white lion's claws.

What level of demons are those white lions?!

How could they break his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill so easily!

He diligently cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill for ten years and has achieved great success.

Ordinary weapons couldn't cut him, and even attacks from low-level demons couldn't break through his defenses.

But just now, when that three-eyed white lion struck with one claw, his divine skill was easily broken!

Fortunately, the white lion seemed to be quite playful and didn't go straight for the kill.

She just used him as a chew toy, tossed him around a few times in her mouth, and then threw him back into the snow.

Taking advantage of the moment when the white lion turned to chase after other low-level demons, he used his last bit of strength to flee frantically, thus narrowly escaping death.

Wang Xi hugged his knees, curled up into a ball, his forehead pressed against his knees, and breathed rapidly.

It seems that only in this way can the fear in my heart be slightly alleviated.

Outside the cave, the cold wind howled, mixed with the roars of the lion demon.

Every sound made his heart pound.

They were afraid that the three-eyed white lion would come looking for them again.

"They should be dead."

The image of the punitive expedition flashed through Wang Xi's mind, and despair filled his heart.

Most of his teammates were low-ranking martial artists, with weak strength.

Even he was powerless against such a powerful three-eyed white lion, let alone them.

"I wonder how that swordsman is doing now."

His thoughts shifted, and he remembered Li Qingchen.

Besides myself, the only other member of the expeditionary force who was a mid-level third-grade martial artist was Li Qingchen.

Those two are the ones with the best chance of survival.

If we can successfully reunite with them and stick together, we might be able to hold out until the rescue team arrives.

A glimmer of light flashed in Wang Xi's eyes; it was the only hope in this desperate situation.

He gritted his teeth.

The snow was still falling outside, obstructing visibility and making it impossible to see what was happening outside.

He swallowed the precious medicine, and after his wounds and strength had recovered, he would look for a suitable opportunity to go out and find Li Qingchen.

……

at the same time.

Li Qingchen led the remaining four people to continue deeper into the secret realm.

Before I knew it, fine snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

At first, only a few scattered drops fell, drifting down as lightly as willow catkins.

But before long, the snowflakes became denser and denser, falling like goose feathers and sweeping across the entire secret realm.

The cold wind howled, and snowflakes danced in the air.

In less than half an hour, the ground, trees, and rocks of the secret realm were covered with a thick layer of white snow.

The world was a pristine white, yet it grew ever colder.

Li Qingchen looked up at the swirling snowflakes, then at the exhausted martial artists behind him, and said:

"Let's find a sheltered place to rest first."

The heavy snowfall has obstructed visibility.

Continuing to venture deeper into the secret realm not only makes it difficult to find the core demon, but also increases the risk of being attacked by the demon, needlessly wasting energy.

It would be better to find a place to shelter from the snow, light a fire to keep warm, recover our strength, and wait for the opportune moment.

We'll make plans once the snow subsides a bit.

"Come with me."

Li Qingchen turned around and walked towards the cave.

The four of them quickly followed.

The snow was ankle-deep, crunching underfoot, and the howling wind made it hard for them to open their eyes.

Soon, the five of them arrived at the cave.

Li Qingchen was the first to enter the cave. After carefully examining it and confirming that there were no traces of demons, he said to the four people behind him:

"Come in, it's safe here."

The campfire crackled and flickered, casting a warm glow.

Several people sat around the campfire, stretching out their hands to warm themselves by the fire, and their faces gradually regained some color.

"Master Li, that white lion... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

Just then, a martial artist suddenly spoke up.

"Oh?" Li Qingchen looked at the tall man who had spoken. "Could you please explain in more detail?"

The surviving martial artist was none other than Wang Dana, a disciple of the Vajra Sect who shared the same school as Wang Xi.

"When I fell into the secret realm, I wasn't far from my senior brother, so we prepared to meet up."

"On the way, we heard a lion's roar, and then a lion demon suddenly appeared and carried my senior brother away."

"I wanted to chase after it, but the white lion was too fast and I couldn't catch up. I could only watch helplessly as it carried my senior brother away."

Later, I met several other brothers…”

"Wang Xi is dead?" Li Qingchen asked.

"My senior brother's Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill has been perfected, and ordinary demons cannot harm him at all."

Although the three-eyed white lion was powerful, it shouldn't be able to kill him in a short time. But…”

Wang Dana sighed, "But my senior brother is all alone. If he doesn't receive help for a long time..."

There's no need to say more; everyone knows the final outcome.

Upon hearing this, the group fell silent.

They all knew about Wang Xi's abilities.

A mid-level martial artist who has mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

If even he couldn't escape this fate, then the rest of them would have even less hope of surviving.

"However, Master Li, that's not what I wanted to say. What I really wanted to say is that the three-eyed white lion and the one from before are not the same one."

"There might be a pride of lions in this secret realm!!"

A pride of lions!

These two words exploded in their minds like a thunderclap.

The three men's faces turned deathly pale instantly, their eyes filled with terror.

The slight relaxation in his expression vanished instantly.

A three-eyed white lion is that powerful.

What about that group?

They didn't even bother to find the core demon; they just took out its demon core and left.

The thing to consider now is how to live longer and hold out until the people outside arrive!

They originally thought that as long as they followed Li Qingchen, they could find the core demon and escape the secret realm alive.

But now, upon learning that a pride of lions might exist in the secret realm, all their hopes were instantly shattered.

Facing a pride of lions, let alone completing the mission, even survival became a luxury.

Li Qingchen's expression gradually became serious.

"One three-eyed white lion is nothing to fear, and I can handle two or three as well. But if I were facing an entire pride of lions, with a large number of them, and possibly even the lion king, that would be troublesome."

"I can't just sit here and wait to die," Li Qingchen thought to himself.

"Rest here and recover your strength. Do not leave the cave without permission, and do not make any loud noises, lest you attract demons."

"I'll go out and patrol the area to get a feel for the surroundings, and also look for Wang Xi's whereabouts."

Besides patrolling, going out also meant avoiding a few people.

I wonder if it's because the time flow in the secret realm is different from that in reality.

Li Qingchen discovered that the number of resurrections had been refreshed.
