However, even if we ignore the fact that Li Xin was afraid of exposing the relationship between herself and Xingyuan, most of the people in Xingyuan's general-level No. 21 Demon Hunting Team are indeed taciturn.

Cai'er has been evil since she was young and has yet to pass the test of the reincarnation furnace to become a true saint of reincarnation.

This is the case with Wang Yuanyuan, who is determined to become stronger and avenge and restore his family's reputation.

As for Yue Mingnan...

Xingyuan felt that the reason why she suddenly became taciturn was simply because she did not dare to reveal her nature as a driver in front of so many people.

Although she might have considered that the tense atmosphere was not suitable for joking, Xingyuan still believed that she was simply embarrassed.

After all, there are Long Haochen and his team watching nearby, so she has to consider her image in the eyes of other demon hunting team members.

What's more crucial is that Long Haochen's team next door is not like their 'nunnery' with only one male member, Xingyuan. Long Haochen's team only has a little girl, Li Xiaomo, and the other members are all big and strong men. It can be said to be a real 'monk temple'.

The two teams are evenly matched in terms of gender distribution.

Yue Mingnan doesn't mind revealing his true colors in front of his own team, or even teasing the team leader Xing Yuan, because they are all good partners and know each other well.

Moreover, the team leader Xingyuan himself was sufficiently committed to male ethics and was even prepared to sell himself in exchange for the spirit furnace. However, the other party did not even touch her and never said a single ambiguous word to her on a daily basis.

Although it was unclear whether Xingyuan adhered to male ethics or simply did not like her, his actions made Yue Mingnan completely let down her guard against him and she no longer had to avoid him no matter what he said.

It’s just that Long Haochen’s team is different.

If Yue Mingnan really showed them her usual side in the team, someone would probably harass her.

For example, during the Demon Hunting Group Trials, the internal ranking competition of their priest temple, Sima Xian, who had broken her leg during the match, seemed to be interested in her. She had even asked Xingyuan to help mediate between them and resolve the conflict between them...

Fortunately, Xingyuan didn't want to get involved in these things and directly rejected Sima Xian's request, which Yue Mingnan still remembers vividly.

Because this incident reminded her of when she first came to Jialingguan, the headquarters of the Priest Temple, from a small border town in the alliance to study. She was bullied for no reason and was so angry that she beat up the child of the temple elder. Afterwards, the teacher ordered her to apologize to the other party, otherwise she would be expelled from the school.

Although the nature of these two things is completely different, for Yue Mingnan, as long as there is a little commonality, she will think of this matter.

She probably knew why so many people in the team had a crush on Xing Yuan, the leader...

……

As the two teams got closer to the location of the Howling Cave of Fear on the map, Xingyuan and others vaguely heard the shrill cries mixed in with the wind.

When Long Haochen heard this voice, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

He had to get close enough to confirm that there was crying, but Xingyuan had heard it when he was still several miles away.

He is truly worthy of being the number one genius in the history of the Magic Temple. His mental strength is so strong... As the knight most expected by their Knights Temple, Long Haochen naturally has frequent contact with big names like Paladin Leader Han Yu and Divine Seal Knight Yang Haohan. He also hears a lot of news about Xingyuan from them.

But what made Long Haochen feel a little strange was that Yang Haohan also complained to him that Xingyuan had poached his Yang family's girls and snatched away his granddaughter-in-law, Yang Wenzhao's fiancée.

And it wasn't enough for him to do this, he even defeated Yang Wenzhao's spirit, and now he is in a daze, like a useless person...

However, based on Long Haochen's observations during this period, he felt that Xing Yuan was not like their hall master Yang Haohan.

Although there are many female members in his team, the only one who has a close relationship with Xingyuan is the girl Cai'er, who has a cold personality and strong strength.

Like Yang Wenzhao’s ex-fiancee, the female summoner named Chen Ying’er.

Long Haochen had not found anything wrong in the other party's daily chats and contacts with Xingyuan, so his opinion of Xingyuan remained the same. He was not influenced by their hall master Yang Haohan at all and did not change his opinion of Xingyuan.

He was thinking about something and when he came to his senses, he found that the shrill crying coming from the cave suddenly disappeared.

It was vague just now, but as the distance shortened, it became clear and bright, gradually starting to make people feel uncomfortable. They had to concentrate their minds to avoid being affected by it, and finally it stopped abruptly...

"This is?"

Long Haochen was a little confused, but at the moment they had no choice but to keep moving forward.

After all, they were already here, and even if there hadn't been that crying sound, they still had to explore the Cave of Fear and Sorrow in order to complete their mission.

Among the thirteen people, only Xingyuan knew why this unsettling cry suddenly stopped.

The reason they could have this moment of peace was simply because the undead souls underground were resting. After all, even if the undead souls were spirits, they also had their own special "undead spiritual power" and it was impossible for them to continuously launch mental attacks.

Sure enough, when they saw the real cave of fear and howling, it was the moment when the undead below re-condensed their necromancy and once again let out a wailing sound like a sharp howl.

A sharp sound like the friction of metal, with a magical power that could captivate people's hearts, came from the entrance of the cave, instantly turning the faces of the two teams facing the entrance pale.

If Xingyuan hadn't been the first to deploy the elemental shield and raise a wall of earth in front of everyone, and Long Haochen hadn't followed closely and put up the spiritual light shield to help block out the sharp roar.

Dian Yan and Sima Xian, who were standing at the front of the team and whose mental strength was not at the same level as theirs, would probably bleed from all seven orifices on the spot, and would become fools if they didn't die.

"Back off for a moment."

Feeling that the thick earth wall that rose from the ground was being disintegrated, Xingyuan turned around and made a suggestion to Long Haochen.

"Ah."

Feeling the alarming speed at which his spiritual power was being lost in order to maintain the spiritual shield from being shattered by the sound waves, Long Haochen quickly turned around and conveyed the order for a temporary retreat to the people who were still frightened. (End of this chapter)
