Chapter 800: Strange Encounter in the Cave

The two had now reached the foot of the mountain.

Looking up again, they realized only then that dark clouds had gathered all around.

It seemed they had already sensed their arrival and were preparing their defenses.

Ning Chen gazed upward from below; to be honest, chilling winds blew from every direction.

The surroundings looked as if something was about to emerge at any moment.

"We must be careful from now on; no one knows what we'll encounter in a moment."

Upon hearing Ning Chen's words, Lin Yi's expression instantly became bewildered.

【Ding! Alarm triggered. Beware of your teammate.】

Hmm?

The system's warning made Ning Chen pause for a moment.

Beware of your teammate.

At this very moment, only Lin Yi stood beside him.

Could he be acting strangely, or had the Lin Yi beside him already turned into a mantis person?

After thinking of this, Ning Chen couldn't help but look at the Lin Yi beside him.

His expression remained unchanged, and there were no strange movements; everything seemed perfectly normal.

Can the system make mistakes?

Ning Chen thought it unlikely, yet the Lin Yi before him showed no eerie phenomena whatsoever.

Regardless, since the system had given the warning, he should observe carefully.

Crows' cries echoed from all sides, sounding especially eerie within this forest.

Everyone knows crows; wherever they appear, danger is certain to be nearby.

Ning Chen observed closely, and just then noticed Lin Yi's condition seemed somewhat off.

With each few steps, his body clearly grew weaker and more limp.

"Lin Yi? How are you?"

Facing Ning Chen's question, Lin Yi showed no reaction whatsoever.

Instead, he looked around with a shocked expression.

Something's wrong!

Ning Chen looked in that direction; thick mist now shrouded the surroundings.

So there was a reason Lin Yi had turned out this way; poisonous miasma filled the area.

Just then, Lin Yi collapsed directly onto the ground.

Ning Chen hurriedly pulled her into his arms, but the next second, blade-like claws slashed toward his throat.

Damn it!

As expected, there really was something wrong.

Ning Chen shoved the person in his arms away; only then did he see countless mantis people emerging from the mist.

Since they dared to appear, Ning Chen would kill one for one and two for two.

Eerie shrieks echoed from all sides.

This was especially terrifying around the tomb chamber; Ning Chen knew this was the final moment she must face.

What he didn't know was where Lin Yi was now.

The moment these mantis people appeared, Lin Yi had already vanished from sight.

The more he thought, the more irritated he felt, but Ning Chen knew now was not the time to let emotions affect him.

Then he leaped violently into midair.

Because of the poisonous miasma surrounding them, the scene did not appear particularly clear.

Viewers in the livestream could only make out a rough outline.

Within those patches of mist, countless shadowy figures rushed together.

【Why does this always happen at critical moments? We can't see anything. Can you see it?】

【We can see it, but not clearly. This is normal; after all, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, and not everything can be shown to us.】

【Help! I really want to see how Brother Shiguang deals with these scum.】

At this moment, Ning Chen had leaped completely onto a tree; he wanted to see exactly how many mantis people were surrounding the area.

However, after he climbed up, he was shocked by what he saw before him.

He never expected those mantis people to keep emerging endlessly.

At that moment, Ning Chen also noticed the corner where they were appearing.

Yes, it was precisely the most hidden spot within the mountain.

In that case, strike the leader first.

After eliminating their commander, destroy their nest.

Ning Chen didn't believe they would have any chance of survival left.

He quickly bounced between the trees, yet those mantis people seemed to notice his movements.

Then they lunged violently toward his direction.

Whoosh~

It seemed some heavy object was thrown toward him.

Ning Chen quickly dodged; the next second, a mantis person rushed straight at him.

He then forcefully pinned it against the tree.

At the same time, it began to punch and kick Ning Chen; moreover, its blade-like claws started swaying at Ning Chen's neck.

Ning Chen, of course, would not let himself be at its mercy.

He then threw a punch straight at it; fortunately, the system had already given her armor before they entered.

Thus, the mantis-man's attack was completely no match.

Just then, Ning Chen also knew there was no need to continue entangling with it.

He then directly summoned Space Tear.

Just as the mantis-man prepared to launch an attack, the next second Ning Chen vanished before its eyes.

When Ning Chen opened his eyes again, he realized he had already entered that cave.

The surroundings were exceptionally pitch black; from time to time, something would fall to the ground.

Probably because it was too dark and damp, the sound of dripping water could always be heard.

Ning Chen knew something was wrong, but everything must be done step by step; he could not possibly leap to the sky in one step.

Just as she reached the middle position, she suddenly heard a sobbing sound coming from ahead.

After listening carefully, she discovered it was actually Lin Yi.

Could it be that he had been brought here?

Thinking of this situation, Ning Chen also quickened his pace and rushed toward that direction.

Because of this reason, he had fallen into a trap.

Strange, odd sounds appeared from all directions.

When Ning Chen looked over, a group of bats inside the cave was also rushing out.

This place was truly too eerie.

Moreover, when he was just in the tree, he had clearly seen many mantis-men running out there.

Why was this cave so quiet at this very moment?

He even suspected whether he had gone to the wrong place.

Just as he was walking inward, something suddenly fell down.
