Long Haochen was silent for a while. Although Xingyuan did not say it explicitly, he vaguely guessed what the other party was going to say next.
After all, even though Xingyuan knew that he had the physique of the Son of Light, he still believed that it would be more helpful for Cai'er to explore the cave with him. Doesn't that mean that Cai'er also has a physique that is not weaker than his, the Son of Light, or even stronger?
"Why, are you worried that we might take away the treasures in the cave?"
Seeing that Long Haochen remained silent, Xing Yuan asked him in a half-joking tone.
"of course not."
Upon hearing this, Long Haochen hurriedly shook his head, "Of course I believe in you, Brother Xingyuan, but our two teams agreed to work together to carry out the mission, but in the end you are the one doing most of the work..."
After saying that, he also said that if there really were any treasures in the cave, they would belong to Xingyuan and his team, and they were already embarrassed to have received so much of the spoils.
Xingyuan didn't say anything about this, only saying that he would keep the video of the gem exploration smooth throughout the process, and would let Long Haochen and others watch it first.
The two teams had just discussed that Xingyuan and Cai'er would enter the cave to explore, when the shrill screams outside gradually became smaller, as if they would stop soon.
"let's go."
Xingyuan adjusted his magic robe, stretched out his hand to Cai'er and said with a smile.
"Um……"
Cai'er nodded slightly, but she did not rush out of the cave with Xingyuan. Instead, she turned to look at Chen Ying'er, who had a conflicted look and seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"Why, Ying'er, do you want to come along too?" Cai'er asked softly.
Chen Ying'er couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this. Noticing that everyone's eyes were on her, she shook her head in panic and said, "Forget it. If I go down with you, I will be a burden to you two."
"OK then."
Seeing that the other party refused, Cai'er did not force it anymore. She nodded gently and walked to Xingyuan who was already standing at the entrance of the cave.
He stretched out his hand to Cai'er, "Are you ready..."
"Ah."
Cai'er gently placed her hand in his palm, but before Xingyuan could finish chanting the spell to summon the Earth Wave Technique, she pulled Xingyuan's hand and leaned into his arms.
"Ok?"
Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he found that his body was picked up by Caier, in a posture like a princess hug, but he was the princess.
"It's faster this way."
Cai'er leaned forward and whispered, "My speed is faster than your earth waves."
As she spoke, Cai'er tapped the ground with her toes, and the two figures instantly flew out from the team's hiding place, disappearing from everyone's sight, and drilled into the Howling Cave of Fear next door, leaving Long Haochen and their own family members looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Cai'er... you're so domineering."
Yue Mingnan opened his mouth and said blankly.
No wonder Brother Xingyuan said that Miss Cai'er would be more useful if she accompanied him into the cave to explore. It turned out that she was not only good at dealing with undead creatures, but also agile enough to take advantage of the time when the whistling sound stopped to explore deeper into the cave...
……
Although it was pitch black inside the Howling Cave of Horror and the air was filled with an extremely strong smell of death, it did not have much impact on his Star Source.
The pure purifying power continuously circulated in her body and then radiated in all directions, constantly dispelling the breath of death that attacked from all directions and tried to rob the two of their vitality.
If Long Haochen, who has the physique of the Son of Light, has a natural restraint on undead creatures, then Cai'er, who has the physique of the Saint of Reincarnation, is specifically responsible for purifying, transcending, and even judging these undead creatures. This level of undead aura, let alone posing a threat to Cai'er, does not even consume much of her spiritual power.
Xingyuan felt a little embarrassed at first when being carried by Cai'er, but after discovering that this was indeed a more efficient way to explore the cave, he never asked Cai'er to put him down again.
On Xingyuan’s chest, the silver cross chain that his great-grandfather gave him to prevent the purifying power from corroding his body was now shining.
After absorbing a large amount of Cai'er's purifying power, it also became very bright, and there was no problem using it to illuminate the road ahead of the two of them.
"Right, right..."
With the help of the future vision, Xingyuan also constantly points out the direction for Caier.
Although Cai'er didn't know how Xingyuan confirmed the route to the cave, she didn't ask and just followed his instructions.
As the two got closer and closer to the depths of the cave, the aura of death around them became noticeably stronger, and Cai'er gradually increased the speed at which the spiritual power in her body circulated.
"stop."
Xingyuan suddenly called for a stop, and Cai'er stopped right where she was without any hesitation.
The next moment, a khaki-colored spiritual power protective shield unfolded in front of the two of them, covering both her and Xingyuan.
"Woo——"
The terrifying scream from before suddenly sounded again, rushing towards the two of them.
"Xingyuan..."
Cai'er was just about to ask Xingyuan whether his elemental shield of this level could not withstand a sharp howl of such intensity.
She was sharp-eyed and noticed that not only did Xingyuan's elemental shield not suffer any damage or cracks under the impact of the sharp whistling sound, but even the speed of the spiritual power circulating in his body was not much faster than before.
In other words, Xingyuan does not need to continuously output spiritual power to maintain the stability of the shield.
"I didn't expect it?"
Xingyuan was obviously very satisfied with the dazed expression on Caier's face at this moment. He reached out and pinched her soft little face, which had become a little fleshy due to the feeding he had done during this period of time.
"Xingyuan, how did you do it?" Cai'er asked cooperatively.
But she was really curious about how Xingyuan did it, because if it were her, she would not be able to resist the sharp roar while running towards the exit of the cave.
Even though her current cultivation level was only one step away from breaking through to the sixth level, there was no guarantee that she could hold on until the fierce roar ended.
"that is because……"
When Xingyuan was about to proudly explain to Caier how he had done such a thing, he realized that he was still being held in the other party's arms like a princess. He coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Put me down first, and when the whistling sound stops, you can continue to carry me forward like this."
"Oh."
……
It was naturally impossible for Xingyuan to suddenly realize in such a short time how to more effectively resist the sharp howls emitted by the undead creatures.
Ripples of light.
This is the combat technique that Long Haochen created when he encountered this situation in the original plot line. (End of this chapter)
