Ye Qing, carrying Wen'er, had just broken free from the group of Water Monsters when they immediately began to howl, roaring as they charged at Ye Qing. Clearly, they truly regarded Wen'er as a sacrifice, and Ye Qing snatching her made them furious, desperately trying to intercept Ye Qing and rescue Wen'er.
Facing so many Water Monsters, Ye Qing dared not be careless. He clutched Wen'er, placing her on his left shoulder, while his right hand grasped the axe, sprinting wildly while swinging to the side, attempting to drive away these Water Monsters.
And these Water Monsters were truly frenzied, still chasing after Ye Qing despite his mad swings with the axe. However, their numbers were large, and their ability to evade on land wasn't strong. Just a few steps into the chase, two Water Monsters were struck by Ye Qing's axe, with dark green blood splattering, emitting a nauseating stench, akin to rotting dead fish.
Ye Qing hadn't expected the blood of these Water Monsters to be this foul. Holding his breath while running wildly, he frantically swung the axe, trying to force back the Water Monsters. But, after suffering earlier, the Water Monsters didn't recklessly chase him, instead circling around from the left and right, running to Ye Qing's front, encircling him from a distance.
Handsome Fatty Wang was waiting at the stone corridor's exit for Ye Qing. Seeing the Water Monsters encircle Ye Qing, he panicked, pounding on the stone gate while shouting loudly, "Hey, you brats, Grandpa's here! You want a fight or some meat, come to Grandpa, can't beat you, but Grandpa's got plenty of meat!"
The Water Monsters ignored Handsome Fatty Wang, surrounding Ye Qing, lowly growling to scare him while keeping their eyes fixed, seeking the chance to attack.
Facing so many Water Monsters, Ye Qing dared not be careless. He wasn't afraid of these Water Monsters, but Wen'er might not withstand their attacks. So, he grasped the axe tightly, slowed his pace, watched all around, and listened carefully, ready to defend against any attack.
After a brief standoff, one Water Monster, seemingly the leader, issued a low growl, and the Water Monsters simultaneously charged at Ye Qing.
Earlier, Ye Qing's axe could scare off his closest pursuers. But now, over a dozen Water Monsters rushed from all directions, completely surrounding him. Even if Ye Qing could axe two to death, the others could grab Wen'er. So, just as they were about to pounce, Ye Qing turned abruptly, placing Wen'er on the ground, then opened his arms to embrace her, turning his back to the Water Monsters. This way, when they attacked, they might grab him, but could not harm Wen'er.
Handsome Fatty Wang remained in the stone corridor, his face changed drastically at this, shouting urgently, "What the hell, Young Ye, what are you doing? They'll kill you!"
Before Handsome Fatty Wang finished speaking, several Water Monsters were already biting into Ye Qing. Fatty Wang stood too far away to see clearly, just seeing seven or eight Water Monsters surrounding Ye Qing and biting him, his eyes turned red.
"**** your grandpa!" Handsome Fatty Wang roared angrily, suddenly taking off his coat, slamming it forcefully to the ground, grabbing two axes, and leaping out of the stone corridor with a howl.
"Young Ye, hang in there, Fat Lord's here to save you!" Handsome Fatty Wang shouted, bounding over from the stone corridor, but he hadn't gotten very far when Ye Qing, surrounded by Water Monsters, suddenly stood up.
"Fatty, catch!" Ye Qing yelled, Handsome Fatty Wang didn't understand what was happening, but a huge figure had already rushed out from the Water Monsters, heading directly towards him.
Fatty Wang instinctively reached out to catch, finding a soft human body. The tremendous impact pushed him back several steps, directly against the stone wall before stopping. Still unable to stabilize himself, he sat down hard, showing the force Ye Qing had in his throw.
"What's this?" Handsome Fatty Wang shouted, looking down to find himself holding the unconscious Wen'er.
"Whoa, a beauty!" Even then, Fatty Wang didn't forget to make a quip.
"Quickly take her into the stone corridor!" Ye Qing's voice shouted from afar, and the Water Monsters, seeing Wen'er thrown to Fatty Wang, all roared, racing towards Fatty Wang.
Although Handsome Fatty Wang was shameless, he was still quite reliable at critical moments. He let out a loud howl, held Wen'er and jumped up, extending his hand to pass Wen'er into that Stone Cave. With great effort, he finally climbed into the Stone Corridor himself.
Standing in the Stone Corridor, Handsome Fatty Wang immediately turned around with an axe in hand, shouting at the Water Monsters rushing over: "Screw you! Anyone who dares to come over, Fat Lord will bash their skull!"
"Damn it, stop joking around and close the stone gate quickly!" Ye Qing shouted loudly. By this time, he had already picked up an axe from the side and was desperately fighting these Water Monsters. The Water Monsters had torn his clothes to shreds, but they hadn't managed to harm Ye Qing at all. The strength of his Vajra Indestructible Body and Primal Mysterious Body was simply beyond what these Water Monsters could damage.
However, despite this, with so many Water Monsters biting and tearing at Ye Qing, his body still felt a wave of pain. This situation told Ye Qing that even the Vajra Indestructible Body and Primal Mysterious Body were not truly Undying and Indestructible. Although even Famed Instruments couldn't pierce his body, being hacked at hundreds of times could still cause him pain. This is probably the reason why, even though Shijia mastered the Vajra Indestructible Body, he wasn't a match for the Corpse Ghost Dragon.
"What about you if I close the door?" Handsome Fatty Wang was still shouting.
"Don't worry about me, I won't die!" Ye Qing shouted, grabbing a Water Monster and slamming it against the stone wall beside him. The Water Monster's body shattered pieces of the stone wall, and it fell limply to the ground, smashed to death.
Seeing Ye Qing's formidable actions, Handsome Fatty Wang understood that Ye Qing wasn't bluffing, and these Water Monsters probably couldn't really harm Ye Qing. So he didn't hesitate and turned immediately to close the stone gate. But just as he was about to close the stone gate halfway, a Water Monster pounced on him. The Water Monster suddenly leaped up, grabbed Wang's arm, and bit down on Wang's arm.
"Ow, damn you!" Handsome Fatty Wang screamed in pain, and fresh blood spurted from his arm where it had been bitten. Despite the pain, Wang was tough, and he grabbed the axe with his other hand, smashing it down on the Water Monster's head.
The body of the Water Monster was very tough; even after being struck with the axe, it only let out a scream and didn't let go of Wang's arm. Instead, it grabbed his arm, trying to climb higher. Meanwhile, several other Water Monsters were rushing over and were about to arrive.
One Water Monster was enough trouble for Handsome Fatty Wang, and with this many coming, Wang certainly wouldn't be able to handle them all. Seeing this, Wang panicked and yelled repeatedly. However, even after hacking at the Water Monster several times, it stubbornly refused to let go, clearly holding out until more Water Monsters would come to pry open this stone gate.
Ye Qing saw the situation from a distance and, startled, didn't give it much thought. He directly threw the axe in his hand. Using his right hand and enhanced by the powerful force of the Prayer Beads, the axe sliced through the air with a sharp whistling, flying over in the blink of an eye, pinning the Water Monster directly to the stone wall!
The Water Monster was nailed dead by the axe thrown by Ye Qing, and Handsome Fatty Wang was finally freed. Without thinking too much, he endured the pain in his arm and closed the stone gate with all his might, then sat down against it, clutching his blood-soaked arm, letting out low wheezing breaths.
There was a series of knocks on the stone gate from behind, but the stone gate was controlled by a mechanism and wasn't easily opened. So, despite the great strength of the Water Monsters, they were unable to push open the stone gate.
Leaning against the stone gate, Handsome Fatty Wang listened to the roars from outside, clueless about the situation beyond. He wanted multiple times to open the gate and take a look, but feared the Water Monsters would rush in and harm Wen'er, so he could only shout loudly through the gate: "Hey, Young Ye, how are you? Are you alright?"
After shouting a few times, there was no response from outside, which made Handsome Fatty Wang worried. Although Ye Qing had displayed great strength earlier, even ants can kill an elephant if there are enough of them. Surrounded by so many Water Monsters, who knew if Ye Qing could survive in such a situation.
Moments later, the roaring from outside ceased. Hearing nothing but silence from outside, Handsome Fatty Wang grew even more anxious. He quickly rapped on the stone gate and shouted: "Hey, Young Ye, can you hear me? If you don't say anything, I'm going to open the stone gate!"
Still no response, leaving Handsome Fatty Wang on edge. He took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Damn it, if you don't say anything, I'll really open the stone gate. Damn it, are you dead or alive, give a sign! If you don't respond, I'll open this stone gate, and we'll risk dying together!"
There was not a sound from outside the stone gate. Handsome Fatty Wang paused for a moment, suddenly gritted his teeth, and reached out to push open the stone gate. Although it might be dangerous outside, he needed to see if Ye Qing was alive or dead. After all, the two of them were brothers who had been through life and death together, and Ye Qing had saved him many times before.
