Chapter 266: A Glimmer of Heaven in the Devil's Den

After successfully passing through the mountain god bottle, Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others walked for about half a day, and finally arrived at the entrance of the first line of heaven before dusk. According to the deity lord Xiaoxiao, from this cave you can quickly reach a pine forest, and the pine mountain temple is built in that pine forest.

This cave is called a line of heaven in the middle of two mountains almost next to each other, and you can faintly see the sky in a line through the gap overhead, hence the name of the cave. The cave is spacious, the length should have reached several thousand meters, and now it has completely become a paradise for monsters, and you can feel the demonic energy emanating from the cave just by standing outside the cave entrance.

"I'm curious, what Qingyun put in the cave waiting for us?" Ouyang Hongye said as he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it directly into the cave.

With the help of its own demonic power, the stone was thrown deep inside the cave. Soon, a fluttering sound came from inside the cave, followed by a large number of vampire bats flying out of the cave. These vampire bats are large in size, with their venomous fangs exposed, and when frightened, they circle outside the cave and then fly back inside.

"It's rare to see bats this big!" Senki sighed as he measured the length of the bat's wings with his hand.

"It's just bats, nothing spectacular!" Ling Yu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

"Hey, I found out that since you got the power of that Eagle Owl Demon, you kid has become arrogant!" Qianqi couldn't help but tease him.

"You haven't changed at all, you're still the same stupid!" After Ling Yu finished speaking, he amused himself.

The conversation between the two was that the nerves that were already tense in other people were also temporarily relaxed, but this relaxation could only be short-lived.

Ouyang Hongye interrupted them and said, "Ahem, it's time to go in!" ”

"Tiny, don't be afraid! We're here! Lingyu felt that the little one who fell on her shoulder was trembling, so she comforted her.

"Hmm!" A little should be.

Ling Yu's voice sounded so gentle to her, that she couldn't help but think of Chu He again. Chu He had always been so gentle with her, and he had never changed from the moment he promised to let her land on his antlers. When she recalled, she realized that in hundreds of years, he had never been angry with her. But now, his body is occupied by other people's souls, and his own soul doesn't know where it has gone. She silently prayed in her heart that Chu He's soul would not be lost and that she would soon be able to return to his body.

The space in the cave was dim due to the faint light that came through the cracks, and the temperature was much cooler than outside the cave, and everyone conjured up one cloud after another of demonic fires, and let these demonic fires hover around the team to form layers of protection, to block the attack that vampire bats could send at them at any time.

Not long after entering the cave, an army of vampire bats began to attack them, completely engulfing the light that came through the gap above their heads. In addition to the demon fires surrounding Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others protecting them, the small singing voices also formed one guardian formation after another again, blocking the bats that pounced in the opposite direction.

But before the enemies in the air could be repulsed, new monsters appeared on the ground, and giant demon insects were wriggling their huge bodies closer to their direction, and by the light of the demon fire, they could see the bright green patterns on their purple bodies, and the traces left behind them by the slime secreted by themselves. Judging by the heat coming from the traces, their slime was toxic and corrosive.

"Spirit Feather, find a way to stop them from approaching! If you hurt them, a poisonous liquid will burst out of their bodies! Ouyang Hongye commanded.

He had seen similar demon insects, and knew that although these monsters did not have any attack ability, they themselves were like venom bombs, and it was a very unknown choice to get close to them.

"Compared to bats, these guys are disgusting!" Ling Yu used one hand to control the demon fire and burned several vampire bats that were intent on attacking him again, and then threw jade owl brocade at those demon insects with the other hand.

Countless brocades swirled and pierced those demon insects with the tip of a sharp awl, who knew that the skin of these demon insects was much thicker than he had imagined, and his jade owl brocade was bounced back, not even a single mark was left on the demon worm's body.

Seeing the situation, he immediately threw out the jade owl brocade again, and cast a spell to control it to entangle those demon insects, and then he shook it hard, and the magic power drove the jade owl brocade to shake, and those demon insects were lifted to the stomach. These demon insects were obviously a little clumsy because their bodies were too large, and they lay on the ground and tossed back and forth for a long time, and they couldn't adjust their bodies back to the right direction.

Seeing the situation, the Thousand Riders quickly took this opportunity to fly past the demon worm and continued to move deeper into the cave.

"What is this?! Wait, it looks like there's something else coming our way! Ouyang Xiaoleng shouted loudly as he flew over the demon worm, and he quickly sensed that there were other monsters with greater power hidden in the darkness ahead.

Sure enough, a pair of round green eyes began to flicker continuously, and soon one after another big rats appeared in front of them. The rats are similar in size to cat jackals, with strong front paws and sharp nails, and each tooth in their pointed mouth resembles a sharp knife.

"First bats, then bugs, and now rats, each bigger than the other. I remember there was a saying that nuclear radiation affects the genes of animals and makes them huge, but what about these monsters?! Could it be that there is no radiation in any way?! Mochizuki shook her head and said.

He threw out one of the Moon Shadow Knives in his hand and spun and stabbed into the middle of a rat's head, which fell to the ground with a wail, only to be followed by several other rats stepping on its corpse.

There were too many of these rats, and although the cave was spacious, the space was limited after all, when the rats gathered together, it was like a torrent, and Ouyang Xiaoleng had no choice but to start retreating. It was only a half-distance advance at this time, but they were very anxious to retreat at this time, and if they continued to delay like this, they didn't know when they would be able to reach the Songshan Temple through the first line of heaven.

"It's just a bunch of rats, it's a little too arrogant, isn't it?!"

As he spoke, Qianqi once again performed the technique of controlling water, transforming countless watery lynxes that were much larger than the size of the rats, and they arched their bodies, and the long hairs on their backs also stood up one by one, and at the same moment they pounced on the rats coming from the opposite side.

These bobcats either grabbed the rat's neck and body, or stepped on their tail, or some threw them directly at the stone walls on either side, quickly knocking the rat down. Seeing that his side had the upper hand, Ling Yu shouted loudly while continuing to deal with the bats remaining in the air: "Give it power!" ”

"When did you learn such a trendy word?!" Ouyang Xiaoleng couldn't help but sigh.

"Sister Xia taught me, she said that this is what young people in the world say now!" Lingyu blurted out.

Relying on the bobcats made by the Thousand Riders with water, they finally made some distance forward. The rats have completely lost their combat effectiveness, and the vampire bats and demon worms are gone. Compared to the fierceness of the battle with the monsters just now, the current glimmer of heaven is a little quiet and terrifying. Looking out through the gap, the sunlight had completely disappeared, and occasionally a half-star could be seen.

"We're halfway there, aren't we?" Mochizuki asked Ouyang Hongye beside him.

"Then I have to ask Xiaoxiao!" Ouyang Hongye turned to Xiaoxiao.

"Almost!" A little answer.

During the battle just now, she had already flown away from Lingyu's shoulder, because she was familiar with the environment in the cave, and she couldn't feel the breath of the monster for the time being, so she flew at the front of the team at this time. She naively thought that the world was safe and that there would be no more monsters.

"Stop!" Ouyang Xiaoleng suddenly reminded in a low voice, and put his finger to his lips to make everyone silent.

There was a faint sound similar to the sound of scales rubbing against each other coming from the front, and if it weren't for Ouyang Xiaoleng's prompt, the others wouldn't have noticed it at all, because even the sound of his own footsteps when he was walking, or the sound of his clothes, would have overshadowed it from afar.

He guessed in his mind what kind of monster it would be, and judging by the sound of the monster, its speed was increasing and the distance between it and them was shortening, but it was already quite close to them in a few tens of seconds.

"Where is it?" The Thousand Riders stared at the ground in front of them, but still didn't notice the monster.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a small scream broke the silence. A large, wet tongue suddenly reached at her from above the rock wall, and although she quickly dodged to the side, it touched her left wing.

The tongue was covered with barbs, which hurt the tiny wings as it stretched and retracted. A few feathers fell off her left wing, and she fell with it, and Spirit Feather quickly flew over to catch her, catching her while looking for what monster had hurt her.

He looked around and didn't see anything unusual, but the big tongue appeared out of thin air and attacked him, and he dodged it just in time. Since he couldn't find any enemies attacking him, he had to retreat to his companions first, and while examining the small wound in the palm of his hand, he asked, "Xiaoxiao, does it matter?" ”

"Wings...... The wings hurt! ”

Xiao Xiao pointed to the wound on her left wing with her beak, and Ling Yu saw that her left wing had been scratched more than once, and several wounds were bleeding.

"Do you see what attacked you?" Ouyang Hongye quickly took out the medicine bottle from her pocket, twisted some medicine powder and sprinkled it on her wound and asked.

"No, it's moving too fast!" Tiny answered truthfully.

"All I saw was its tongue...... Lingyu said, stunned.

"Can this monster be invisible?!" The Thousand Riders hurriedly looked around carefully, ready to meet the attack from the invisible monster.

"It seems that the really powerful characters are ambushed here!" Ouyang Xiaoleng is still the calmest one.

"I think I have a way to find it!" Little said weakly.

"What can you do?" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked, and at the same time, the eyes of the others were also focused on Xiaoxiao.

"If my guardian array can be expanded to just the same size as this cave, it will definitely make that monster appear as the guardian circle moves forward!"

Xiao Xiao got up from the palm of Lingyu's hand, and transformed back into human form while jumping to the ground, it would take her considerable spells to form a guardian array with such a large diameter, and the damage caused by her previous pursuit by wolves had not healed, and she had just been attacked by invisible monsters, and it became even more difficult to use so many spells at once.

"It seems to be the same thing that relies on sound waves to detect objects!" Ouyang Xiaoleng agreed with the small proposal.

"Xiaoxiao, don't force it, you have injuries on your body!" Ouyang Hongye persuaded behind her.

But she didn't pay attention, because now she was as urgent as any of them, and after hearing that Chu He's body might be recaptured, she was determined to seize the opportunity to save him, and so many things she had experienced in such a short time made her much braver than before.

She doesn't want to live under the protection of others, but wants to use her power to protect her companions.
