Chapter 569

~7 min read 1,335 words

The cave entrance was about fifty meters wide; based on Li Yue's years of experience, the margin of error would not exceed one meter.

Black gas occasionally billowed from the cave entrance, looking extremely disgusting.

Besides that, many scraps of flesh hung around the cave entrance.

Some clothes of the Cave People were scattered everywhere.

It looked somewhat like an ancient sacrificial ritual, terrifying and eerie.

After watching for a long time, Li Yue still could not discern anything.

The System showed no reaction at all, so he slowly opened his mouth and asked Angel:

"Was there any anomaly at this cave entrance before?"

Angel replied:

"Before, that Shi Shi-limit Demon Scorpion tried to escape from here, but I killed it directly; besides that, there were no other anomalies."

Li Yue looked at the clothes and scraps littering the ground, thought for a moment, and continued asking:

"Did you see any Cave People before attacking this dungeon?"

Angel fell into recollection at Li Yue's words; after two breaths, she said:

"No, we have not seen any Cave People since entering this underground world."

Angel's words made a bad premonition flash through Li Yue's heart.

For a long time, Li Yue looked Solemnly at the Holy Angel Angel and the Witch Wang Hou Ka Ka Luoer, saying:

"Can you feel how powerful the aura inside is?"

The two women exchanged a glance, and Angel replied:

"At present, it seems there will be no danger if we enter alone."

Ka Ka Luoer on the side also nodded.

Hearing this, a look of relief flashed across Li Yue's face.

"Alright, then you two enter this cave and take a look to see what's inside."

Upon receiving the order, the two women transformed into two beams of light and rushed into the cave at once.

About ten minutes later, a prompt suddenly appeared before Li Yue's eyes.

【System Prompt: You have stepped into the second layer of the Underground World. If you successfully kill a creature of the second layer of the Underground World, you will receive the First Kill reward.】

Seeing this prompt, Li Yue fell into deep thought.

When the trial was opened before, it was never said there would be a second layer; could it be a special instance?

After thinking for a while without result, Li Yue opened the chat channel.

"Sigh, I failed the siege again; this time I lost several combat strengths, it hurts my heart so much; the Underground World is truly hard to fight."

"You are lucky; you just haven't encountered a powerful Shi Shi-level Underground creature, otherwise you wouldn't even have bones left."

"Wow, is it that terrifying? There are actually Shi Shi-level creatures in the Underground World?"

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes; how could that be fake?"

"At that time, I was lying in ambush on a mountain, preparing to ambush a passing squad of Minotaurs; but as soon as I reached the mountain peak, I saw a brother in the distance being wiped out by a ferocious Dark Giant."

"Wow..."

After watching for a long time, Li Yue realized these people had only just encountered Shi Shi-level Underground creatures.

Asking them about this special instance was obviously redundant.

However, hearing what that person said, they must have encountered that Dark Giant.

In Li Yue's eyes, this was another Three-Color Treasure Chest; he didn't know what good items it might yield.

If other Lords knew Li Yue's thoughts at this moment, they would probably want to smash their heads against a wall.

They were still thinking about how to avoid such monsters, while he was thinking about whether he could get good items after killing it.

However, just then, another message flashed before Li Yue's eyes.

【Congratulations, you have successfully killed the first creature of the second layer of the Underground World and received the First Kill reward. Do you want to open it?】

"Open it? How could I possibly open it?"

He had opened three treasure chests today and they were all so unlucky; how could he dare to open these rewards today? He would directly save this First Kill reward to open tomorrow.

Thinking again, Li Yue could not help but start to worry.

It seemed Ka Ka Luoer and Angel must have encountered trouble inside; otherwise, they would not have resorted to killing blows just while scouting the path.

He originally thought the two women would come out in a while, but after half an hour, there was still no movement at the cave entrance.

Li Yue began to pace back and forth, thinking about various rescue plans in his heart.

Each of the two women was a powerful creature comparable to the early Saint Domain, yet they were actually trapped inside.

This raised Li Yue's assessment of the danger level of the second layer of the Underground World by one notch.

Time passed minute by minute, and the other women also began to show signs of anxiety.

At this moment, in the second layer of the Underground World.

The originally dim sky was now filled with waves of Jin Guang and purple light.

The Holy Angel Angel held the Angel Holy Sword, with a huge Angel Dharma Image behind her.

And opposite her was a demon with sharp horns on its head, wings on its back, a body covered in blood-red, and holding a steel fork.

On the other side—

The Witch Wang Hou Ka Ka Luoer was protected by purple lightning armor, with a Purple Lightning Lei Xiong standing before her.

However, at this moment, the aura of the Purple Lightning Lei Xiong was somewhat weak, even worse than during the previous great battle with the leader of the Five Heroes.

And Ka Ka Luoer herself was breathing somewhat rapidly.

She, who had just fought a fierce battle not long ago, had not yet fully recovered her strength.

They had not expected to encounter such a powerful creature immediately upon entering.

Had they not taken advantage of the opponent's low vigilance to instantly kill one, their situation would be even more dire.

Yet, even though they instantly killed the opponent, the other demon was able to absorb half of the deceased's energy to strengthen himself, breaking through directly into the mid-stage Saint Domain Fan Chou.

This was what made the battle for the two women so difficult.

At this moment, Ka Ka Luoer suddenly heard Angel's voice in her ear.

"In one minute, I will strike first, you will follow up, and then we will flee with all our might."

Upon hearing this.

Ka Ka Luoer looked at Angel and nodded.

Seeing the two women's movements, the demon opposite them did not pay much attention.

At this moment, in his eyes, the two women were already his meal on a plate.

After fighting for so long, he believed he had already exhausted most of their magical power.

Next, he only needed to wait quietly for the two to surrender obediently.

"Well, two little wenches, have you considered it? Will you submit to my great Count Moster, my lord, or enter my stomach to become my noble nourishment?"

Having finished speaking, the demon licked his lips again.

His mind had already begun to imagine what taste these two divine beings would have when eaten.

However—

Just at that moment.

The giant angelic manifestation behind Angel suddenly swung the light sword in her hand, cleaving downward.

A massive cross-shaped wave of light headed straight for the demon.

On the other side.

Ka Ka Luoer did not lag behind.

The Purple Lightning Lei Xiong instantly dispersed, merging with the three thousand Lei Ting just summoned by Ka Ka Luoer, and fiercely struck the demon.

After doing all this, beams of light rose from beneath and behind the two women as they sped rapidly toward the black hole behind them.

The demon, having neutralized these two attacks, found the area before him empty; in a fit of rage, he directly shattered the magma below.
