Chapter 89: Delving into the Cave!

  "This time, the Zere family also has someone participating, bring it with you, cover your face and hide your identity. In case of conflict with the Zere family, you won't be exposed and offend your elder sister." San Hongyun said softly.

  When Xiao Hong heard this, he blinked his eyes and was momentarily taken aback. However, when he saw the calm gaze of Sang Hongyun, he felt a subtle sense of emotion in his heart. It can be said that Sang Hongyun's magnanimity had exceeded Xiao Hong's imagination.

  "Aren't you afraid I'm a mole from the Zere family?" Xiao Hong asked back.

  "When you doubt people, don't use them; when you use people, don't doubt them." replied Sang Hongyun calmly.

  "Thank you." Xiao Hong responded with a single word, and as a result, Sang Hongyun handed him the mask, replied in a calm tone, and then turned around to join the main team.

  "My goodness, I was really scared to death just now." Yan Nan said, walking out of the backyard and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

  Xiao Hong did not respond, carefully putting the mask that Sang Hongyun had given him into his pocket, temporarily unusable, and he was not worried that this mask would play any tricks, because in that situation earlier, it would have been too easy for Sang Hongyun to get rid of himself, no need to make things so complicated. Moreover, when the time came, it was very likely that his elite medicine boy would also be implicated, because once they entered the Dark Fusion Cave, the lives of these four people were basically in Xiao Hong's hands.

  Especially when encountering powerful spiritual beasts, once Xiao Hong makes a slight mistake, they will also find it difficult to escape.

  After nearly half an hour's walk, the group of people from Shaojiang Group finally arrived at the central square of Taiwu City.

  At this moment, in the central square, it was already bustling with people. Large and small forces all sent representatives to attend. The Hongbo Financial Group naturally took the lead with students from the Xizhen Magic Academy as the main force, with a total of 110 people. The commander-in-chief was Vice President Pi Haifei of the Xizhen Magic Academy.

  Over forty years old, slender in build, wearing a suit of leather armor, his expression was somewhat stern, not because the road ahead was treacherous, but because of the super-sized young lady Chai Shuang standing beside him.

  This time Chaisang's intention was very simple, that is to give this granddaughter who has never participated in real combat a chance to try.

  But for Pí Hǎi Fēi, it's not a good thing. At the age of 21, Chái Shuāng was already a second-level Jū Tu, growing up in the midst of praise from others, with a naturally proud temperament. More importantly, he needs to expend a great deal of effort to take care of him, and absolutely cannot afford any mistakes.

  Standing beside Pí Hǎi Fēi was Chái Shuāng, who had no idea what Pí Hǎi Fēi was thinking. Her purpose for participating in the summer capture was only one: to prove her own strength as much as possible.

  In the distance, the Shaojiang Group's team walked over with a slow pace. Chai Shuang's eyes narrowed slightly. In the past, during the annual summer capture, the Shaojiang Group always had the greatest harvest, followed by Kelong and then Hongbo. This made Chai Shuang feel extremely uncomfortable. This time, he had already decided to change this situation!

  As for the number of people sent by the Cologne Group, it's not a lot, exactly 100 people, all from the Mellon Knights, although the quantity is slightly inferior, but the quality of the team is absolutely excellent, and the commander-in-chief is the deputy commander of the Mellon Knights, Jiao Qi Shan.

  Still the same, each of the three families has its own strengths. Hongbo has a good battle formation, Kolon's ability to drive the battle formation is superb, and Shaojiang Medicine Master's quantity and quality are absolutely unmatched by anyone.

  The three major forces also formed the mainstream combat force of Xia Huo, followed by the second echelon composed of secondary forces such as the Ze Lei family, and then some scattered individuals who could only muddle along.

  As all the major forces have arrived, the commanders-in-chief are also gathered together, seemingly friendly consultations, but in fact they are companions, but also potential enemies. Now it seems friendly, but after entering the Dark Fusion Cave, it is very likely that they will fight to the death for interests.

  As for Xiao Hong, he had long been submerged in the vast crowd, and it was difficult to find his whereabouts among the thousands of people. Xiao Hong himself did not think about how to make a big splash in the summer capture, his goal was very clear, that is, to change the spirit beast, if he could find some other genius treasures, that would be even better.

  After a brief exchange, the commander announced departure after determining the course of action.

  Dark Fusion Cave is located in the northwest of Taiwu City, still quite far away, requiring a hike through a vast forest and mountain range to reach.

  He naturally had some understanding of Xiao Hong, so he didn't show any confusion or curiosity.

  All the way following the main force into the forest, Xiao Hong's footsteps were extra steady, his eyes kept paying attention to the surroundings, trying to observe every person around him as much as possible, and tried to remain silent, not drawing anyone's attention.

  As Xiao Hong was at the edge of the Xiao Jiang team, next to him was the Hongbo Group. To his left front was Chai Shuang. As for Chai Shuang, Xiao Hong still knew her, she was Chaisang's granddaughter, a heavenly beauty from Xizhen Magic Academy. At this moment, she kept turning her head from time to time to check on the team, with an alert color in her eyes.

  Obviously, Chai Shuang is not very rich in interpersonal relationships. At this time, showing vigilance is undoubtedly a kind of hostility. Now showing such an attitude is undoubtedly excluding everyone.

  In Xiao Hong's view, when there is no conflict of interest, it is best to keep a low profile and hide in the crowd.

  After a morning of rapid progress, the queue of over a thousand people finally passed through the forest and entered the rugged canyon.

  In the desolate mountains, in the crevices of rocks, and even in the cloudless sky, there are sometimes traces of spiritual beasts coming and going. Fortunately, most of them are low-level spiritual beasts with very low attack power, equivalent to about 4th or 5th level of a mortal cultivator, and their value is not high either.

  Until the sunset, people who had passed through the desolate canyon finally arrived near the Dark Melt Cave. Looking around, they saw in the distance a small forest of deep green, like an oasis in the desert. In the oasis was a towering mountain peak, blackish-purple in color, with a faint red mist still rising from its summit.

  This place can be called a forbidden land for ordinary people, but it is also an opportunity to make a fortune.

  "Entering that eerie forest is the entrance to the Dark Fusion Cave. To survive, cheer up, I'm reiterating, in small teams, on the premise of maintaining contact, don't bunch up." Zhao Qing said to the Shao Jiang team through the communication tattoo.

  As for the other teams, it was also the case. The teams that were originally relatively calm and peaceful were suddenly shrouded in a strange atmosphere. At the same time, it could be clearly seen that the gaps between each team had been intentionally or unintentionally widened, as if they had already begun to guard against each other.

  "Xiao Hong, what should we do now?" Hong Feng leaned in slightly closer to Xiao Hong and asked in a low voice.

  "Just follow me." Xiao Hong responded calmly, then took a slight turn in his footsteps and walked directly into the center of the Shaojiang team, trying to get the crowd to block them.

  Xiao Hong himself was also very clear that among the various teams, their strength was not strong and could not withstand the sabotage of other forces. The only way out was to try not to attract attention and seek opportunities in a low-key manner.

  As soon as Xiao Hong stepped into the deep green forest, he felt that the light around him suddenly dimmed. He slightly focused his gaze on the trees, and from time to time, he could see pairs of eyes, either blood red or fluorescent green, moving in the darkness, as if searching for a lone figure.

  Such a discovery also made Xiao Hong's nerves tense, and his eyes finally showed vigilance. One hand grasped the broken armor magic pattern short knife, while the other hand was placed on the magic pattern package.

  Right behind Xiao Hong, Li Wen also grasped a pair of Rainbow Jade Magic Guns in his hands, and the magic patterns on the guns began to emit a faint glow.

  However, since I chose to walk in the center of the team earlier, the risk of falling behind is non-existent. The key is to provide assistance to my companions.

  It's okay, the spiritual beasts in the deep green forest have a certain level of intelligence and did not blindly launch an attack on Xiao Hong and others.

  Before he knew it, as Xiao Hong and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain, a cave that was dozens of meters wide and over ten meters high appeared before Xiao Hong.

  Fixing one's gaze on it, through a patch of darkness, a faint yellow light can be seen in the depths, not bright but extremely clear.

  As for this phenomenon, Xiao Hong did not feel particularly surprised. He was very clear that passing through here would be another world, an underground world.

  At the same time, looking around at the crowd of people, they had all activated their respective magical tattoos, and those with tattooed instruments also lit up their instruments, then stepped forward, entering the tunnel with caution.

  With the illumination of the magical light, Xiao Hong could clearly see the stalactites all around him, as well as the crystal-like walls.

  The stone slabs on the wall, Xiao Hong still recognized them as Longjing stones, a type of Yu Zhe-level loadstone. They weren't cheap in Taiwu City, with each one costing at least one to two gold coins. However, people now treated them as if they were worthless. The reason was that nobody here had large-scale transportation equipment, and the amount of things they could carry was limited. Nobody would waste precious space on these stones.

  Ten minutes later, when Xiao Hong walked through the tunnel leading to the underground, what appeared in front of him was a scene that made Xiao Hong feel extremely shocked.

  It's a completely different world here! In front of him, there is an endless forest, and the underground river flows slowly along the side of the forest.

  The entire sky is no longer azure, but a bright yellow, like a giant pendant lamp. The lightning generated by the convergence of terrestrial magnetism flashes from time to time.

  Several pale blue cold spirit eagles kept circling around.

  The earth had turned from yellow to pale purple, and on the right side, a continuous range of mountains could be seen, where a large group of ancient beasts, similar in size to rhinoceroses, were walking together.

  The Gnasher Beast is a herbivorous spirit beast and will not attack on its own initiative. However, if it becomes enraged, it is also a disaster.
