Chapter 70 Shadow Venomous Bee
The group continued to grope their way through the woods, the fog growing thicker and thicker, as if it were about to swallow them up.
Suddenly, a melodious flute sound drifted over, its ethereal yet eerie quality causing one's very senses to tremble.
A senior female student said uneasily, "The sound of this flute is strange; don't be fooled."
Despite this, some disciples gradually became dazed and their feet involuntarily walked towards the direction of the flute sound.
Xu Xiaoxiao also felt dizzy. She covered her ears tightly and shouted at the puppet, "Senior Brother, there's something wrong with this flute music!"
Mu Zhusheng quickly circulated his spiritual power and shouted, "Everyone, guard your minds and don't let the flute music control you!"
Tu Minglang channeled his spiritual power into his eyes, trying to see through the mist. He said anxiously, "This mist seems to complement the flute music, specifically designed to deal with us. But where is the person playing the flute?"
Mu Zhusheng took out a bottle of Tranquilizing Pills from her storage ring and distributed them to everyone: "Quickly take the Tranquilizing Pills to resist the bewitching sound of the flute."
After taking the pills, everyone regained some clarity.
Just then, a group of mysterious people dressed in black robes with cold expressions appeared all around.
One of them said coldly, "You're quite capable of resisting this bewitching flute music. However, hand over all your treasures, or don't blame us for being ruthless."
Tu Minglang said angrily, "Who are you people? How dare you rob cultivators in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid of being besieged by the major sects?"
The mysterious man sneered: "The major sects? By the time they find out, you'll all be corpses."
Mu Zhusheng stepped forward and said, "Then let's see if you have the ability."
Having said that, he charged towards the mysterious man first, his sword light illuminating the surrounding thick fog.
The other disciples also unleashed their magical weapons, engaging in a fierce battle with the mysterious figure.
Xu Xiaoxiao carefully placed the doll in her arms and joined the battle, shouting, "We disciples of the Huitian Sect are not to be trifled with!"
During the battle, the mysterious figures' spells were unpredictable, and they cooperated with each other to form attack arrays, putting immense pressure on everyone.
One of the senior disciples was struck by the mysterious person's magic, and collapsed to the ground, spitting blood.
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly went over to help him up, fed him a pill, and called out, "Senior brother, how are you?"
While fending off the attacks, Yuan Mengyao shouted, "These people are well-trained, like members of some evil organization. We need to find a way to break their magic array."
While dealing with the enemy, Mu Zhusheng was thinking of a strategy. Suddenly, he noticed a weak point in their magic array in the northeast corner and shouted, "Junior Brother Tu, let's concentrate our forces to attack the northeast corner. That's their weakness!"
Upon hearing this, Tu Minglang roared and unleashed his full spiritual power, rushing towards the northeast corner.
The other disciples joined him in launching a full-scale attack. The mysterious man, caught off guard by their discovery of a flaw in the magic array, panicked.
After a fierce battle, the group finally defeated the mysterious man.
Everyone was panting heavily, and the injured disciples quickly took healing pills.
Looking at the exhausted group, Xu Xiaoxiao said firmly, "Although we have encountered danger again, we have also become stronger. As long as we persevere, we will definitely reach Immortal Spirit City."
Mu Zhusheng nodded and said, "That's right. Let's rest for a while and then continue searching for the Ark."
The group had just sat down to rest when they heard a buzzing sound of wings approaching from afar.
Looking up, I saw a swarm of enormous poisonous bees approaching, blotting out the sun. Each bee was the size of a fist, and its stinger gleamed with a ghostly blue light.
A senior student cried out in alarm, "It's a Shadow Poison Bee! Their venom is incredibly potent; once stung, your life is in danger!"
Xu Xiaoxiao hugged the doll tightly and said nervously, "What should we do? There are too many of them."
Mu Zhusheng stood up and said solemnly, "Everyone, please set up your spiritual energy shields first. Don't panic. Take these antidote pills."
Tu Minglang brandished his weapon, trying to scare away the approaching poisonous bees: "These poisonous bees seem to have been attracted by something. Could it be the noise from our battle just now?"
While maintaining the shield, Yuan Mengyao said, "No matter what, we have to find a way to get rid of them first. My spiritual power can't hold for much longer."
The poisonous bees began to frantically attack everyone's spiritual energy shields, with a constant "crackling" sound of impact.
A senior student's shield was breached by a section of poisonous bees, and several bees took the opportunity to sneak in. She exclaimed, "The shield is going to break!"
Mu Zhusheng reacted quickly, shooting out a burst of spiritual energy that knocked the poisonous bees to the ground, but even more bees swarmed up.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the doll in her arms and suddenly had an idea: "Senior Brother once said that the Shadow Poison Bees are afraid of fire. Do we have any magical artifacts or spells that can start a fire?"
Upon hearing this, a senior disciple skilled in fire immediately cast a fire spell, and raging flames erupted around the group, temporarily repelling the poisonous bees.
However, this was only a temporary measure. The flames consumed a great deal of spiritual energy, and the surrounding trees were also ignited, with the fire threatening to spread.
Tu Minglang said anxiously, "This won't do, we'll be trapped in the fire."
After thinking for a moment, Mu Zhusheng said, "If we work together to create a passage and rush out in the direction where the fire is less intense, we might be able to shake off the poisonous bees."
The crowd responded in unison, concentrating their efforts on attacking in one direction, and finally broke through the encirclement of fire and poisonous bees.
Everyone rushed toward the gap without regard for anything else, fighting off the pursuing poisonous bees as they ran.
As Xu Xiaoxiao ran, she shouted, "Hold on, everyone! We can't fall here!"
Having finally escaped the threats of poisonous bees and a sea of fire, everyone was exhausted.
Before they could even catch their breath, the ground beneath their feet suddenly turned into a swamp, and everyone sank in.
One of the senior students struggled to say, "What kind of hell is this place? There are traps everywhere!"
Mu Zhusheng calmly said, "Don't move around. The more you struggle, the faster you'll sink. Everyone, try to use your spiritual power to lift yourselves up."
Following Mu Zhusheng's method, everyone tried their best to circulate their spiritual energy, but the swamp seemed to have a suction force, constantly consuming their spiritual energy.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at everyone anxiously: "This can't go on like this, we need to think of another way out."
Just then, something seemed to be moving in the swamp, vaguely revealing a huge black shadow, and unknown danger once again enveloped them.
As everyone struggled in the mud, the dark shadow beneath the mud suddenly exerted a tremendous suction force, and before they could react, they were all pulled into the depths of the mud.
After a dizzying spin, they found themselves in a strange, secret realm.
A deep blue mist filled the air, and all around were strangely shaped, enormous crystals that shimmered with a mysterious light.
A female student, still shaken, asked, "Where...where is this? How did we get brought here?"
Mu Zhusheng looked around, her expression grave: "It seems we have stumbled into a secret realm, which probably hides many unknown dangers."
Xu Xiaoxiao hugged the doll tightly, her eyes wary: "No matter where we are, we have to be careful. Senior Brother, what do you think we should do?"
The doll couldn't answer, but her mutterings seemed to be encouraging her.
Jiang Jingzhi, who was cultivating on Chongyang Peak, suddenly lost contact with the puppet. His expression turned serious, and he quickly performed a divination. "Fortunately, Junior Sister and the others didn't encounter any danger; they just encountered other opportunities."
Tu Minglang frowned and tried to take a few steps forward: "The atmosphere here is very strange. My spiritual power seems to be suppressed in some way."
Just then, the ground began to tremble slightly, and a series of muffled footsteps came from afar.
A colossal beast, its body covered in sharp spikes, slowly appeared.
It opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar.
Yuan Mengyao's face turned pale: "What kind of monster is this? It looks even more ferocious than the previous ones!"
Xu Xiaoxiao gripped her sword tightly: "What are you afraid of? Let's attack together and we'll find its weakness."
After saying that, she rushed forward first, but when her sword struck the giant beast, only a few sparks flew up, and her arm went numb from the shock.
"This skin is too thick!" Xu Xiaoxiao exclaimed.
Mu Zhusheng shouted, "Everyone, don't attack blindly. Observe its behavior patterns first."
Everyone stopped and formed a circle, watching the giant beast's every move.
Seeing that everyone had stopped, the giant beast charged again, its huge claws sweeping across, creating a gust of wind.
Tu Minglang seized the opportunity and unleashed all his spiritual power, punching the giant beast's claw hard. Although he deflected the beast's attack slightly, he himself was knocked back several steps.
One of the senior disciples said anxiously, "This can't go on. Our spiritual power is limited, and it will be exhausted sooner or later."
Yuan Mengyao's eyes suddenly lit up: "I noticed that after each attack, its abdomen will have a brief moment of weakened defense. We can take advantage of that time to attack its abdomen."
The group rallied and awaited the beast's next attack.
When the giant beast pounced again, Mu Zhusheng and Tu Minglang drew its attention, while Yuan Mengyao quietly circled around to the side of the beast, preparing to unleash her magic when its belly revealed an opening.
Xu Xiaoxiao watched nervously from the side, muttering, "It has to succeed."
As soon as the giant beast finished its attack and its abdominal defenses momentarily relaxed, Yuan Mengyao swiftly cast a spell, sending a beam of intense light towards the beast's abdomen.
The giant beast roared in pain, and the group seized the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack.
After a fierce battle, the giant beast finally collapsed and disappeared in a beam of light, leaving behind a crystal core radiating powerful spiritual energy.
Xu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally won. The challenges in this secret realm are just one after another."
Mu Zhusheng picked up the crystal core and said, "This crystal core contains enormous energy, which may help us leave this place. Let's continue exploring and see if we can find an exit."
The group responded in unison and continued deeper into the secret realm, their hearts filled with both worry about the unknown dangers and hope of finding an exit to return to their journey.
