On the manic water surface, dozens of water columns suddenly erupted, connecting into a water curtain, and after a while, the water curtain fell, and dozens of long monsters shaped like sugar gourd strings were revealed.

"Be careful, it's a giant ghost! all the team members are ready to fight!"

Aaron immediately took out an enchanted battle axe in his pocket and a round shield with an inscription, jumped to the edge of the boat, and waited for it.

The monster known as the Giant Spectral Worm is a low-level void creature with a dark red body body connected by spherical segments, and the monster has round, multi-layered mouthparts, each with a circle of sharp fangs, and from time to time a long dark purple tongue spits out of its bottomless esophagus.

"Mages speed up, the rest take cover!" Aaron continued.

In the distance, a mucus pipe full of mucus stretched out from the mouths of many giant phantom insects, and after aiming at everyone, the pipe contracted suddenly, and a large amount of corrosive liquid gushed out, and everyone hurriedly deployed their spell shields to resist, and quickly launched a counterattack,

Li Jinyi held the heart abyss in his hand and slashed out one after another, and wherever the blood blade went, the giant insects were all cut off by the waist.

Despite its size, the Giant Ghost Worm was so fragile that an ordinary person could easily smash its shell with an iron rod, let alone a heart abyss blade that was as hard as clay.

"It seems that these big monsters are just paper tigers, and they are not as difficult to deal with as imagined. Vicky chuckled and threw a fireball that blasted an incoming giant insect to pieces.

The giant phantom insects that surfaced decreased one by one, and soon they were no longer large-scale, but the tight string in everyone's hearts did not relax in the slightest.

At this moment, the bottom of the boat was suddenly hit violently, Zhong Ziran didn't grasp it steadily, and "poof" fell into the water.

The giant insects in the water stretched out their long tongues and wrapped around her feet, dragging her to the bottom of the water, and the rest of the giant insects saw that their prey had been attacked, and they also gathered around her.

Zhong Ziran struggled desperately, letting out a desperate and silent cry, and bubbles kept coming out of his mouth and nostrils.

"Gollum...... Gurgling ......"

All the team members, including Li Jinyi, immediately jumped into the water and started a hand-to-hand fight with the giant phantom worm.

Aaron wielded his tomahawk, and his brutal force unleashed wolves in the surrounding waters, and the giant insects were sliced to pieces.

Malken dodged the oncoming giant insect with a flexible body, rode on it, and his legs were interspersed with the junction of the monster's body segments, immobilizing it to prevent it from escaping, and then with a wave of the blade in his hand, he directly cut the monster in two.

At the moment when Zhong Ziran was about to be pulled into his mouth by the long tongue of the giant phantom worm, Li Jinyi broke through the encirclement, and the bloody hand of Xin Yuan was launched, and the countless bloody hands were like the claws of a sugar gourd, directly tearing the giant phantom worm into pieces.

He swam over, picked up Zhong Ziran, who was unconscious from overwatering, and returned to the boat, then returned to the water and continued to kill.

The overwhelming battle lasted about five minutes, after which the water calmed down again, and the team returned to the boat to examine the wounds left on their bodies from the previous battle.

Zhong Ziran was still gulping out the dirty water mixed with the body fluids of the giant ghost insect and the void pollutants, Li Jinyi was not hurt much, and even had the strength to help row, he picked up a piece of the giant ghost insect fragment floating on the water, and slowly rowed the boat deeper.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally landed.

Everyone found a dry place on the shore, placed the detached Zhong Ziran on a picnic cloth, and then sat down to rest next to it, Aaron took out a few large lumps of smokeless charcoal from his pocket, burned it red and put it in the center of the crowd to bring warmth to everyone.

"Captain, you're Doraemon, you have everything in your pocket. Li Jinyi smiled.

"Haha, do you think this captain is for nothing?" Aaron raised his eyebrows, proud of it.

The melting warmth made Zhong Ziran recover quickly, and she slowly sat up and looked at Li Jinyi.

"Thank you for saving me. Her voice was still a little weak.

"No thanks, I promised my senior sister something, and I will definitely do it. Li Jinyi looked at the red-hot charcoal and replied.

"Hmph, bad junior brother, it's just to give you a face, what kind of handsomeness!" Zhong Ziran glanced at him with the corners of his mouth slightly curved upward.

After a moment of recuperation, Li Jinyi's physical strength was almost recovered, and considering that the next danger could kill his teammates at any time, he was ready to go alone to reconnoiter first.

Before leaving, Aaron repeatedly asked if he needed to go with him, Li Jinyi shook his head and vetoed, he felt that it was safer to stay with the team members, with his current strength, encountering a middle-level Void General, although he couldn't beat it, but he should be able to escape, of course, provided that the other party didn't have a domain treasure or spell like the Void Devourer last time.

He let his heart and soul float on his sides, holding a flashlight in one hand and a star pistol in the other, and walked deeper alone.

Not far from the shore, he entered a stalactite forest, and carefully observed that many of the stalactites had obvious "X" scratches on them, presumably the marks of the members of the fifth team, to prevent them from getting lost in the chaotic stalactite forest.

These markers also served to guide Lai. As he followed the marker, he saw a flickering fire at the entrance to the cave ahead.

Was that the fire started by the members of the Fifth Squad?

However, he was a little disappointed that it was just a brazier on the right side of the hole, and there was originally one on the left side of the hole, but someone kicked it over, and the flames inside had been extinguished.

The faint smell of sulfur filled the air, and if you looked closely, the center of the burning flame in the brazier on the right took on a strange dark green color.

"Demon?" Li Jinyi muttered quietly.

For some reason, he suddenly had a feeling that he was about to meet the members of the fifth team, but instead of feeling lucky, he felt a little hairy in his vest.

Subconsciously stepping into the cave, he found that a blue-black stone staircase was built in front of him, and the stone steps led to an unknown space at the top.

"Why is there such a building in this place?" said Li Jinyi with a slight puzzlement.

"This is a place made of magic, and I would advise you not to go any further, as the way back could be blocked at any moment. Xin Yuan Soul Lan reminded.

"But I feel like the members of the fifth squad are up there. Li Jinyi said eagerly.

"It's true, it's just that you might not want to see them now. You know, I can sense something out of my field of vision. Xin Yuan's tone was quite mysterious.

"What do you mean?!" Li Jinyi couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.

"If you really want to know, you can go up there, and if you're in danger, I might be able to help you get right, but ...... Forget it, we'll talk about it then. "The soul of the heart is full of words, and then stops.

"Ahh ”

Li Jinyi wanted to curse a few more words, but he was afraid of disturbing the enemy above, so he had to keep silent for a while and cautiously continue to climb the stairs.

On the walls of the cave around the staircase, a pattern resembling a six-pointed star framed by a skull sheep's head began to appear one after another.

"This is a sign of a demon, there really are demons, these cosmic betrayers came over so soon?" Li Jinyi said in a low voice of astonishment.

The so-called demon is an evil and fallen cosmic creature, and those demons invoked by the otherworldly summoning technique are the cousins of the cosmic demons in the otherworld. Demons have bright skin tones, horns on the top of their heads, wings, tails, and bone spurs all over their bodies.

"There are some elites among the cosmic betrayers, they are allowed to enter the void and participate in the first attack of the Void Air Regiment on the cosmic planet, and the one above should be that kind of elite, probably the leader of a demon ship regiment. Xin Yuan Soul Lan explained.

"I see, eh, no, how do you know so much?" Li Jinyi became more and more surprised.

"Just some memories. Xin Yuan replied calmly.

"Memory, did you do this before?" said Li Jinyi with a frown.

"I don't remember exactly, but it was and it wasn't. The magic sword replied playfully.

I'll go, this guy can't really be a demon, right? What if I meet his acquaintance and he won't help me? Li Jinyi hesitated and stopped.

"Don't worry, I'm not a demon, I'm sure of that. Xin Yuan Soul Lan seemed to see what Li Jinyi was thinking, and spoke.

"Hmph, I'm not worried about whether you are a demon or not, do you dare to disobey my orders?" Li Jinyi snorted lightly and took another step.

About three-quarters of the way up the stairs, the sulfur smell in the air began to be replaced by a strange smell of blood.

"And so it was. Xin Yuan Soul muttered to himself.

"Hmm, what the hell?" Li Jinyi was confused by the words of the magic sword again.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden "rumbling" sound behind him, Li Jinyi looked back, and saw that the cave below was rapidly closing!

"Damn! I've been discovered!" Li Jinyi cursed, forced to run towards the high platform.

Leaping to the top of the stairs, he came to a blood-stained square platform, and at the same time, four lampposts at the four corners of the platform lit up at the same time, and green flames lit up the entire space.

In the center of the platform, where the blood is the heaviest, stood a group of people, a group of people with twisted joints, stiff bodies, and blood-red eyes, a group of people whose whole bodies were festering, shaped like zombies, and who could no longer be called human.

At this moment, the Star Imperial Alliance combat uniforms on their bodies looked so dazzling.

"I said, you wouldn't want to see it. Xin Yuan Soul Lan whispered.

Li Jinyi was a little difficult to accept this fact for a moment, and he gasped for breath, trying to calm himself down.

"They...... Dead, all dead?" Lai Jinyi's jaw trembled.

"Well, the soul has died, and the body has been transformed into a high-level zombie called a blood golem. Xin Yuan replied, and when it was done, it added, "Now is not the time to focus on this, I think that demon will soon come to greet you." ”
