Chapter 1669: Chapter 748: Commotion (Part 2)

It’s not that Fang Yu dislikes the Dragon Soul Seal and the Soul Clothes, the two Talismans of Malevolence Dispelling; it’s just that in the face of massive accumulation of Evil Qi, such items only solve the issue slowly, like treating the symptom rather than the root cause, which feels somewhat lacking.

Although they entered the cave, they were still in a relatively shallow area, so the cave’s ceiling had various holes that allowed the light to shine down, providing adequate illumination so they didn’t need a lantern to see the path.

However, as the team ventured deeper, the light in the cave began to noticeably dim.

The team members naturally started to take out various lighting tools.

Daoist Qing Yan was exploring the path ahead, so his light was the most conspicuous. He took out a small lantern that was bright like a mini sun, instantly illuminating everything around and making the others’ lighting methods seem insignificant in comparison.

For example, Fatty Jia took out something with a peculiar and strong smell, akin to perfume, and his body began to emit a dim glow as if sprayed with fluorescent agent.

In contrast to Daoist Qing Yan’s lantern, the brightness effect of this thing was almost negligible.

But if Daoist Qing Yan extinguished the lantern, returning the cave to darkness, the slight glow would be sufficient to provide minimum lighting, without hindering combat.

The others were similar, with portable lighting suitable for fighting.

Fang Yu also took out the Jade Pendant Ding Hui had prepared for him and wore it.

Before leaving, Ding Hui had prepared many items for him, and this handy piece for night combat was merely one of them; the majority were various emergency Medicine Pills.

Truthfully, even if these people were in complete darkness, they could still exhibit formidable combat prowess. Lighting merely facilitated exploration.

This cave complex was far bigger than Fang Yu imagined, extending deep underground.

Following Daoist Qing Yan all the way downward, they saw many cave branches, extending in all directions, leading who knows where, resembling a massive underground labyrinth.

Daoist Qing Yan walked and paused intermittently, occasionally observing marks, seemingly confirming the route before leading them forward again.

Gradually, some corpses began appearing along the way, human corpses.

Some had already turned to white skeletons, their bones incomplete, seemingly gnawed by something.

Some bodies remained relatively intact, seemingly harmed by traps, covered in spikes.

Even in such perilous places, conflicts and disputes among humans persisted.

Fang Yu glanced at the surrounding individuals, wondering how many would survive after leaving this area.

But undeniably, Daoist Qing Yan must remain unharmed.

Returning via Sui Chong Pass required passing through hazardous terrain, and without Daoist Qing Yan’s Artefacts, the return journey wouldn’t be safe.

His gaze fell on Daoist Qing Yan, just as the Daoist suddenly stopped.

Feeling Fang Yu’s gaze, Daoist Qing Yan turned back to look at him.

"Did you sense it too?"

What?

Fang Yu was stunned.

Sense what? Sense what?

I’m... I was just thinking randomly, simply glanced at you a few times...

Fang Yu felt a bit embarrassed internally, but his expression remained completely impassive.

The others turned to glance at Fang Yu, even Luo Jianqing gave him a rare look, seemingly with surprise and appreciation.

Fang Yu:...

Don’t look at me like that, it makes me feel self-conscious.

And just then.

Rumble...

Fang Yu faintly heard something approaching from afar.

It didn’t seem like the noise from an individual, more like a collective movement.

Daoist Qing Yan’s perception was unbelievably strong. I only noticed the commotion now...

While Fang Yu was pondering.

"Retreat!"

Daoist Qing Yan suddenly commanded in a low voice, leading the team to the end and turning around.

"On the way, there’s a branch path; let’s take the detour to avoid them!"

Fang Yu didn’t know what Daoist Qing Yan was avoiding, but he followed the lead.

Even Daoist Qing Yan avoided the demon group causing this disturbance, indicating it wasn’t simple.

Due to numerous branches in the cave and short passages, they quickly retreated to the previous divergence and followed Daoist Qing Yan into it.

However, Daoist Qing Yan didn’t intend to really take this path; after advancing briefly, he raised a hand gesture, signaling the team to halt.

"Extinguish."

Daoist Qing Yan extinguished his lantern, the surroundings instantly darkened, revealing various dim, colorful lights.

The others, a step behind, quickly stopped making their glowing items emit light.

RUMBLE!!!

The noise from before was nearly close, shaking the passage as if with an earthquake, debris continuously falling onto their heads and shoulders.

"Don’t make a sound."

Daoist Qing Yan had just finished speaking...

Thud, thud, thud!

Like a storm passing, groups of dark shadows flashed past in the cave branch ahead, continuously.

Shadow after shadow clustered together, crowding as if rolling past them.

Fang Yu squinted, focusing.

[Earth Cave Mole Demon:5642/5642.]

[Earth Cave Mole Demon:8498/8498.]

[Earth Cave Mole Demon:3159/3159.]

[...]

What?

Fang Yu’s eyes widened.
