Chapter 1221: Chapter 1220: The Cave
Ling Feng awkwardly smiled and said, "Well... letās continue. I have a feeling weāre not far from them!"
And at the midway point of the glacier, in a bottomless ice cave, seven black-clad figures surrounded the entrance.
"Doctor said itās here, right!" One of the figures looked at the cave, speaking with some trepidation, "I sense a very dangerous aura from the entrance of this cave."
"This should be one of the nine sealing arrays, so, of course, there will be a dangerous aura!" Another figure chuckled, "But we have the key to the sealing array, what is there to fear?"
"Thatās right!" The others echoed, "As long as we unlock this sealing array, Xuanyuanās plan from back then will fail, and then itāll be us..."
"Looks like youāre already getting too overconfident!" At this moment, the smallest black-clad figure among them said calmly, "But donāt forget, if you fail, what kind of punishment awaits you!"
The words from this figure chilled them more than the surrounding cold, causing the other six figures to shiver simultaneously!
"Well... boss, arenāt we sure to win?" The first figure spoke cheerfully, "Besides, with you here, arenāt we invincible?"
The figure called boss replied coldly, "Enough nonsense, hurry up and finish the task. I donāt want to stay in this Vital Energy-lacking world any longer, itās my nightmare!"
With that, the boss figure rushed into the Bottomless Cave.
"Even the boss went in, letās head down too!" The other six exchanged glances and jumped in.
The cold wind howled, quickly covering their tracks, leaving only the black cave entrance, reminiscent of Hellās Gate, terrifying.
Half an hour after the disappearance of the black-clad figures, Ling Feng and his group finally arrived laboriously.
"Little Black, did the black-clad figuresā aura disappear here?" Ling Feng looked at the cave resembling Hellās Gate, feeling uneasy, "Could they have jumped in?"
"Not could have, but they did!" Little Black said, "Their aura vanished here, so they must have jumped in. I think the sealing array should be below, right?"
Looking at the bottomless cave, the faces of the nearby girls paled slightly.
Although they were not weak, the unknown danger made them instinctively fearful.
"Iāll go down this time!" Ling Feng pondered and said, "You stay up here and guard, donāt let any black figure escape!"
"No way!" Surprisingly, it was Bright Saintess who stood up first: "Ling Feng, so many times itās been you alone charging ahead, protecting us all the time. We... we are not your burdens, but your comrades. So, I must go down with you this time."
Xuanyuan Xia was surprised, as among them, only Bright Saintess was the weakest, but didnāt expect her to say such bold words; she really underestimated her before.
Ling Feng frowned: "Stop joking, itās very dangerous down there, even I canāt guarantee keeping you safe..."
"We donāt need your protection; we only wish to fight alongside you!" Bright Saintess said solemnly, "Plus, I have the protection of the Knight of Light."
"Yeah, Brother Feng, Iām going down to help you too!" Tama, although her face was slightly pale, clenched her little fist to declare.
Mona Lisa also smiled, "Actually... Iāve been wanting to say this for a while."
"Since everyone has decided, letās all go down together!" Xuanyuan Xia smiled and said, "Ling Feng, donāt reject everyoneās request!"
Ling Feng frowned and whispered, "Senior Sister, your injury..."
"Itās fine. Even if I canāt wield the power of the God Realm, I can still protect myself!" Xuanyuan Xia whispered, "Besides, donāt you think this is an opportunity? An opportunity to bring everyone together!"
Ling Feng nodded thoughtfully, though many things had happened along the way, most were dealt with by Ling Feng and Xuanyuan Xia, Bright Saintess and the others only helped a little.
With Xuanyuan Xiaās words, Ling Feng realized something was indeed off! Ling Feng was their ally, not their babysitter!
"Looks like I really misplaced myself before!" Ling Feng thought with mixed emotions, then said, "Alright, letās go down together. Little Black, Little Gold, and Xiao Tian, your sizes are too big to go in, stay outside and guard, immediately strike if you find any black-clad figuresā sign!"
Little Black patted his chest, "Donāt worry, Young Master!"
Little Gold nodded too; only Xiao Tian stared adorably at Ling Feng, and then suddenly shrank into the size of a normal toad, crawling into Ling Fengās pocket.
Ling Feng: "..."
Everyone was shocked; they didnāt expect the "ferocious" Sky-Swallowing Toad could become so small.
This must be the power of the God raceās Mechanical Core! Ling Feng shook his head, then turned and jumped in.
As Ling Feng and his group jumped in, they found a powerful force at the caveās bottom attracting them.
"Stabilize your body, donāt panic!" Ling Feng said earnestly to everyone.
But his words seemed ineffective, as Bright Saintess really lacked strength. Though protected by the Knight of Light, she couldnāt hold her ground, sliding into the cave with a scream, followed by several Knights of Light.
"Saintess Sister!" Tama saw Bright Saintess "swallowed" by the cave, couldnāt help but shout.
Ling Feng grabbed Tamaās arm, "Donāt move recklessly, or youāll also be swallowed by this force..."
Before finishing his sentence, a stronger suction arrived unexpectedly; Ling Feng, unable to grasp Tama firmly, watched her vanish into the cave with a cry.
"Senior Sister, this cave is bizarre!" Ling Feng shouted loudly, "Not only is there a strange suction, but I canāt sense Tama and the othersā aura at all; this cave feels like a Bottomless Cave!"
Xuanyuan Xiaās face flashed with concern, "I know, this is the Shadow Cave. Anyone entering here will..."
Before finishing her sentence, Xuanyuan Xia disappeared into the cave too.
