Chapter 302: Need to Find a Weakness

As the words fell, a group of flies, visibly larger and more formidable than the previous ones, flew in from afar, moving at high speed and carrying strange energy fluctuations. "If we keep fighting like this, it will never end," Xiao Qing analyzed calmly. "We need to find a weakness."

Facing such a scene, even someone as optimistic and open-minded as Wang Zhenqiu could not help but feel immense pressure. "I have to think of a way... Huh? Look over there!" Just as everyone fell into a stalemate, Wang Zhenqiu's gaze was drawn to a certain direction—there, a few relatively weaker links appeared within the entire group, as if they were a path of survival left on purpose. "We should concentrate our firepower to break through there; perhaps we can discover something!"

Facing the dense swarm of flies that obscured the sky like dark clouds, the three of them each displayed their unique skills, striving to resist the sudden attack. Lin Xuan moved his hands slightly, and several small, exquisite Talismans rapidly took shape between his fingers before being lightly tossed into the air. In an instant, blue light flickered, weaving into an invisible net in the sky that intercepted the black cloud at the very front. Those flying insects that attempted to pass through the light screen and approach them dissipated the moment they made contact, turning into specks of fluorescent light that scattered.

On the other side, Wang Zhenqiu appeared much more relaxed. He calmly took an old Jade Tablet from his bosom, placed it on his palm, and whispered an incantation. Immediately, a gentle yet undeniable power was slowly released from the Jade Tablet, spreading in circles around them. When the power touched those aggressive creatures, it miraculously changed the behavioral patterns of these little things—the originally manic and restless flies seemed to have their spirits soothed, scattering and fleeing in all directions, as if fearing they would not escape in time.

As for Xiao Qing, she adopted an entirely different approach. This seemingly petite and delicate girl displayed an astonishing side at this moment. She took a deep breath, then parted her lips slightly, and a sound wave, almost invisible to the naked eye but carrying immense penetrating power, erupted from the depths of her throat. In an instant, the wind surged, vibrating at a frequency audible to the human ear as it struck the dense incoming enemies, causing wave after wave of violent tremors; many unlucky ones lost their ability to move and fell to the ground.

Despite their varied and effective methods, the number of invaders was simply too vast, and with new reinforcements constantly joining, the situation remained extremely critical. "This can't go on," Wang Zhenqiu frowned, pondering a countermeasure. "We must find the source, otherwise, there is no end to killing them!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan nodded in agreement: "That is indeed true, but the problem is that we are all surrounded now; how can we possibly escape?"

Just at this critical moment, a powerful aura suddenly descended, filling the air with a thick sense of pressure. Everyone looked up and saw a figure gradually condensing in the Void not far away, standing tall and straight, looking down at everything below with a cold smile...

"You few look like you're trying very hard... but it seems it's still not enough to look at?" The speaker was a man with long hair dressed in black, his words revealing a condescending tone. "Why don't I help out, and incidentally make this boring game a bit more interesting..." Having said that, the figure flashed and disappeared from sight, leaving only a faint lingering echo reverberating in the air.

At the same time, the fly army suddenly stirred, followed by a chaotic, large-scale retreat. The three were shocked to the core: could it be that he did this? This strength was simply unfathomable!

"Heh, it seems there really is an expert helping us in secret!" Wang Zhenqiu revealed a cunning smile and shouted to his companions, "We must seize the opportunity to leave this place quickly! No matter what, we must thank that unknown friend!"

Lin Xuan and Xiao Qing also quickly exchanged a glance, clearly feeling very surprised by everything that had just happened, but now was obviously not the time for discussion. Thus, without too much hesitation, the three of them tacitly dashed toward a safe direction—

"Wait for us!" Xiao Qing did not forget to turn her head and complain coquettishly to her two brothers while running, "We could clearly fight very well too, okay! That Mysterious Person's attitude is so infuriating!"

Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "Don't be angry, Xiao Qing. Since the other party could change the battle situation so casually, they are certainly not an ordinary person; perhaps there will be a chance for us to cross paths in the future."

And Wang Zhenqiu, who was walking at the very front, looked back and gave everyone an encouraging look: "No matter what happens next, as long as we are here, we won't easily admit defeat! Let's go, partners, let us face the unknown destiny together!"

The three walked into the depths of the cave, the dim environment forcing them to rely on the faint light of torches to distinguish what was ahead. It was quiet all around, with only the occasional sound of footsteps and the slight crackling of burning flames breaking the silence.

"Is this the mysterious place you mentioned?" Lin Xuan held up a torch and observed the surroundings, asking Wang Zhenqiu who was leading the way in front.

"That's right, according to the instructions on the map, this cave hides some clues that are very useful to us." Wang Zhenqiu stopped, turned around, and answered, his eyes flashing with excitement and determination, "As long as we can find them, we will have a way to fight against that group of people outside who want to occupy our homeland."

Just as the words fell, a strange and unsettling sound came from all directions—"Rustle, rustle, rustle..." The sound grew closer, accompanied by the feeling that something was rapidly approaching. The hearts of the three tightened instantly, and they looked around vigilantly, trying to discover the source of the danger.

Suddenly, right in front of them, countless small black insects emerged from the ground as if summoned by something, rapidly gathering together to form a black cloud like a small hill, and it was still continuously increasing. Although these insects were small in size, they were exceptionally agile, especially the large leader in the very front row, which made one's hair stand on end.

"What are these things!" Seeing this scene, Xiao Qing immediately took a few steps back and exclaimed. Although she often fought against various monsters, she had never seen so many dense and highly aggressive insects.

"Don't panic!" Wang Zhenqiu said steadily before drawing the Long Sword from his back: "Prepare for battle! These are mutated grasshoppers. Although they are vast in number, if we can effectively utilize our coordination, there is still a chance to win."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing also took out a uniquely shaped Dagger from behind her. "Alright... since that's the case, then let's follow the previous agreement." She smiled lightly, her gaze filled with determination.

At this moment, Lin Xuan slowly raised his right hand, a blue ball of light condensing in his palm, his low voice resonating through the cave as his magic power circulated: "Let me show you true power."
