Chapter 11

"Your cultivation is the weakest, stay in the back!"

Zhou Qing suddenly turned around and said to Lu Yaoyao.

The usually cold Lu Yaoyao immediately smiled, then nodded and stood behind Zhou Qing.

The two weakest people there just watched as the other seven stepped into the passage ahead of them.

But as soon as they entered, an extraordinarily massive and vast sense of gravity, like a giant dragon waking up, suddenly pressed down from above.

Everyone's face turned red instantly, their waists bowed, and they immediately braced their hands against the ground and tightened their dantian before slowly standing up.

Then, like mud oxen entering a pool, they slowly moved forward while bearing a gravity four or five times stronger than usual.

Fortunately, the wandering souls that had burrowed into the depths did not appear again, which made everyone speed up their pace.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing finally felt relieved, and after exchanging a glance with Lu Yaoyao, he began to step inside.

As soon as he entered, that sense of gravity came crashing down. Caught off guard, he almost fell, but he gritted his teeth, straightened his back bit by bit, and then slowly walked forward.

But after walking only a few dozen meters, a whistling sound suddenly came from the depths of the passage.

The wandering souls that had disappeared before appeared again, emitting sharp, ear-piercing roars as they charged over.

Everyone's expression changed instantly.

But before they could get close, rays of scorching light suddenly radiated from everyone's bodies.

Those wandering souls immediately let out miserable shrieks and retreated repeatedly.

"It works!"

Seeing this scene, the hanging hearts of everyone were finally put to rest.

And those wandering souls soon rushed toward Lu Yaoyao, who was at the very back.

Light also bloomed from Lu Yaoyao's body, forcing them back.

However, she soon discovered something wrong.

Because all the wandering souls were attacking her, completely ignoring Zhou Qing, who was on the side.

It wasn't until the wandering souls felt that these outsiders were well-prepared and could not be approached that they whistled and turned back into the depths.

They didn't even try to attack Zhou Qing, as if they couldn't see him at all.

What if he didn't have the Yang Fire Talisman bestowed by the Supreme Elder on him?

At this moment, Zhou Qing was also stunned. He quickly realized something, and his eyes began to gleam.

That's right, these wandering souls were generally at the Qi Condensation realm, but his innate skill 【Lower Presence】 had been upgraded to LV2, and it even had a 30% chance of causing those at the Foundation Establishment realm to ignore him.

In an instant, Zhou Qing's confidence exploded, but to avoid arousing suspicion, he still shouted with an angry face: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Can't you see a living person this big? What's the meaning of this? Are you looking down on me?"

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao quickly said: "Zhou Shixiong, keep your voice down, don't attract them back."

The seven people walking in front, upon hearing Zhou Qing's indignant shouts, all looked displeased.

Zhou Qing then stopped talking.

Afterward, everyone continued to move forward bit by bit under the pressure, but soon, a whistling sound came from the depths of the passage again, and a gust of cold air rushed toward them.

"Everyone, be careful!"

A Foundation Establishment Perfection Shixiong walking at the very front shouted immediately, and the others quickly went on guard.

Immediately after, a large number of wandering souls came whistling from the front.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, their spiritual power surged throughout their bodies, and they were ready for battle at any time.

Bang, bang, bang!

Sure enough, this time these wandering souls charged up regardless of their lives. Fortunately, the talismans on everyone's bodies bloomed again, briefly forcing them back.

Roar—

Following that, they charged up again. Some wandering souls turned into ashes under this scorching talisman power, but it didn't seem to deter them; they kept charging one after another.

"This is not a solution. The power of the talismans will be exhausted. Everyone, speed up and counterattack!"

Someone shouted. Although they were moving forward under several times the usual pressure and their movements were sluggish, they were Foundation Establishment cultivators after all; could they be afraid of some Qi Condensation wandering souls?

Boom, boom, boom!

Everyone took out their respective weapons and started a direct bombardment, but the sense of gravity coming from the air was like heavy shackles, pressing firmly on their shoulders.

Every time they raised an arm or took a step, it required great effort, especially the stagnation of spiritual power within their bodies, which severely limited them.

Lights of various colors flickered in the darkness. When long swords cut into the illusory bodies of the wandering souls, they didn't make any substantial sound, but one could see ripples of energy spreading out.

The illusory wandering souls seemed to feel pain; their forms trembled slightly, and they retreated rapidly, the sounds they emitted becoming even sharper.

This gave everyone confidence, and regardless of the cold aura coming through their weapons, they increased their offensive again and pushed forward bit by bit.

Of course, this was true for everyone except Zhou Qing!

He just stood there blankly, watching the many wandering souls besiege the others, fighting each other with great enthusiasm.

"This lack of presence is too much!"

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, then turned his head to look at Lu Yaoyao not far away. She was being attacked from all directions by more than thirty groups of wandering souls.

That Yang Fire Talisman flashed with scorching light, and while forcing them back, it also gave Lu Yaoyao a chance to counterattack. Fortunately, she was handling it with ease and didn't seem to be in any danger.

Moreover, undergoing such training under this gravity was also of great benefit to oneself.

【Ignore Point +1】

Soon, the system's notification sound rang in Zhou Qing's mind, which made his eyes light up suddenly.

That's right, the more tense and exciting the multi-person environment, the easier it is for Ignore Points to be generated.

Taking this opportunity, he quickly squatted down quietly, held his head with both hands, and farmed points.

【Heart-Mirror Point +6】

As Lu Yaoyao, panting, killed the last group of wandering souls and subconsciously looked at Zhou Qing, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Truly amazing, to have killed all the wandering souls so quickly, it's just that this current posture is a bit... something.

And the note on the 【So Happy】 entry above her head changed in an instant to 【So Amazing】.

At this time, Zhou Qing, hearing the notification sound, also subconsciously looked at Lu Yaoyao and couldn't help but give a wry smile.

No, why do the notes you give me always start with the word "So"?

And that jealous Li Daoxuan Shixiong, his notes are always so long.

If I get noticed like this, I won't be able to refresh Ignore Points.

"Is everyone alright?" A Shixiong in front, after solving the wandering souls, turned his head to look around and behind him.

Seeing that everyone had solved the wandering souls one after another, he couldn't help but suggest: "In such a short time, the Yang Fire Talisman bestowed by the Supreme Elder has been consumed by nearly half, but we have only just begun. For the sake of safety, how about we gather together and defend against the enemy together?"

Hearing this, the few people who were taking a break looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

That's what you say, but you are the strongest among us. Once we pass safely, who will be able to snatch anything from you?

Once you open the key first, the secret technique and the No. 3 Flame Spirit Blood Pool rewarded by the Supreme Elder will belong to you; what does that have to do with us?

Now it's clear: the gravity in this passage is strong when you are strong, and weak when you are weak. This is also the reason why others were not sent in.

It is also their only chance to turn the tables.

Furthermore, the passage is silent right now; maybe there are only this many wandering souls.

"I think we should forget it; gathering together makes it easier for accidents to happen."

"Yes, yes, yes, everyone disperse. If we encounter danger, we can watch out for each other."

"Let's hurry up and go, don't let the Supreme Elders down."

…………

The few people laughed it off, which counted as a refusal.

The Foundation Establishment Perfection Shixiong who had just made the suggestion frowned, snorted coldly, and began to move forward while bearing the pressure.

The others did the same.
