Chapter 301: That's Right

After finishing these words, he suddenly raised his right hand and gave a light wave toward the front. In an instant, it was as if an inexplicable power had been injected into the air, and countless black rays of light spilled from his fingertips, forming dense, tiny specks of light in the air—no, those were not some bright and beautiful existence, but an army of "flies" composed of countless tiny yet abnormally ugly and disgusting insects!

Watching the attack that was about to overwhelm them, Wang Zhenqiu frowned slightly, "What should we do? This number is simply terrifying!" Although he said this, the instinct cultivated from years of fighting kept him from feeling timid or retreating even half a step.

Lin Xuan replied calmly: "Calmly analyzing the enemy situation is the way to victory." His eyes quickly scanned the surrounding environment, "We are currently in an unfavorable position and must leave this place as soon as possible to find another battlefield."

Xiao Qing nodded in agreement: "That's right, a head-on clash is definitely not the way; we must find an opportunity to counterattack!" As the only woman in the team, she not only had an outstanding appearance but also possessed very agile skills and keen insight, always able to capture the key points of a situation's changes at the first moment.

Just as they were preparing to move, the first batch of 'enemies' had already approached within a three-meter radius, and one could almost hear that scalp-numbing, faint buzzing sound made by their vibrating wings.

"Quick!"

After the three of them shouted this word almost in unison, they leaped in different directions at the same time. However, even so, it was no easy task to escape unscathed on this battlefield dense with the aura of death. Although those mutated flies were not large in size, their speed and reactions were far beyond common sense, and coupled with their absolute numerical advantage, they soon reassembled into a cloud-like black curtain and pursued the three fleeing people.

Seeing this, Wang Zhenqiu let out a loud shout, condensed a ball of scorching energy in his right hand, and threw it forward. After a loud "Bang—", the high temperature generated at the center of the explosion caused the surrounding air to distort and deform, and many unlucky mutated flies that were close by were directly evaporated, leaving only a puff of white smoke slowly rising. "This can at least buy us some time." After saying this, he immediately threw out a second fireball in an attempt to completely tear open a safe zone through which they could pass.

On the other side, Lin Xuan was not to be outdone. His figure flashed and disappeared, leaving several afterimages in place to confuse the opponent's line of sight, and then he took the opportunity to quickly increase the distance between them. At the same time, he also used several small weapons he carried to create chaos and interfere with their vision, hoping to create more favorable conditions for himself and his two companions.

Just as the two were resisting with all their might, the observant Xiao Qing noticed a relatively enclosed corner not far away that looked like a good hiding place. She immediately informed the other two comrades of this discovery through sound transmission and suggested retreating there temporarily to rest and regroup. "There is a dead end over there that is relatively hidden; we can use the terrain advantage to fight a guerrilla war!" Her words were agreed upon by the other two.

When the three finally succeeded in meeting up according to the established plan and hid in the shadows, Wang Zhenqiu panted heavily and asked his two friends beside him: "What should we do next? It definitely won't work to keep wasting time here."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan replied: "We need to find the method that guy is using to summon this group of monsters to truly solve this trouble."

Xiao Qing then took over the topic and added: "That's right, perhaps we can find clues by observing their behavioral patterns..." Before she could finish her sentence, a more violent roar interrupted her—it turned out that the Black-robed Man seemed to have lost his patience and began to use more powerful energy to guide all the remaining "moths" to launch a final, fierce attack.

"No matter what, let's solve the immediate crisis first!" Wang Zhenqiu clenched his fists, his eyes firm as he spoke the common inner voice of the three at this moment...

The outside world was still shrouded in darkness, with only a few sporadic rays of light barely penetrating the layers of fog to cast a little warmth. Just as this tense atmosphere reached its peak, a sharp whistle suddenly cut through the silent sky, followed by...

"Is that a signal?" Xiao Qing asked with a frown.

"It seems to be news from an ally." Lin Xuan revealed a mysterious smile, "Perhaps we have new friends."

"Then let's hurry out and see!" Wang Zhenqiu suggested, eager to try. As their eyes met, they conveyed silent trust and tacit understanding, and after this brief pause, they rushed into the unknown world again to meet new challenges.

As soon as the three stepped out of the cave entrance, the world before them suddenly changed; a layer of faint green mist permeated the air, and before long, swarms of green flies seemed to emerge from the ground, shuttling through this green mist, and the nauseating "buzzing" sound filled the entire space.

"What the hell kind of place is this?" Lin Xuan said with a frown, his weapon already prepared.

"Don't just stand there, these guys don't look very friendly!" Wang Zhenqiu looked around vigilantly, the staff in his hand emitting a faint but clearly visible light. His tone was relaxed, as if everything was under control, but in reality, his heart was also full of questions and worries. Compared to him, Xiao Qing beside him was more straightforward; she didn't say much, just quickly pulled a Talisman Paper from her backpack, and as her nimble fingers lightly brushed over it, a faint golden light was triggered.

The first wave of attacks was launched by Lin Xuan; his Long Sword swept past a few green insects that were too close like a gust of wind, solving them instantly; following closely behind was Xiao Qing's spell. The talisman emitting a faint glow flew into the air, and with a gesture, it exploded into dazzling sparks upon contact with the first batch of enemies, and more lives that unfortunately hit this magical trap perished in the world just like that.

But this level of intensity seemed far from enough to scare off or clear away the numerous, dense, and fast-moving enemies in front of them. "Everyone be careful! I can feel it... something is approaching." Lin Xuan warned.

No sooner had he spoken than a group of flies, significantly larger and more powerful than the previous ones, flew in from afar, not only moving extremely fast but also carrying strange energy fluctuations. "If we keep fighting like this, it will be endless." Xiao Qing analyzed calmly, "We need to find a weak point."

Faced with such a scene, even the usually optimistic and open-minded Wang Zhenqiu could not help but feel immense pressure. "Must think of a way... Huh? Look over there!" Just as everyone was in a stalemate, Wang Zhenqiu's gaze was attracted to a certain direction—there were a few relatively weaker links appearing in the entire group, as if it were a path of survival left deliberately. "We should concentrate our firepower to break through there; perhaps we can discover something!"
