Chapter 2160: Going Forward

Chapter 2160: Going Forward

Long Xiang looked at the sky and calculated the time. From the time the darkness came, more than five hours had passed. He clearly remembered that not far ahead was a blockade with around 500 Ghost Cultivators.

Long Xiang’s complexion turned serious, then he ordered, “Prepare to fight. Don’t get tied down by the enemy. Move forward as fast as you can.” Everyone answered. They took their weapons out and proceeded to kill. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

Long Xiang didn’t guess wrong. There was indeed a team of Ghost Cultivators ahead. The goal of the Ghost Cultivators was to delay them as much as possible. When the time comes, reinforcements will arrive.

However, these Ghost Cultivators underestimated the strength of Long Xiang’s group. With several Diamond-stage experts, Teleportation-stage Ghost Cultivators simply had no way to stop them, even at night.

Under Long Xiang’s leadership, it took less than one hour for everyone to get rid of the blockade and break through. However, Long Xiang’s mood wasn’t great. They took too long to break through. The Ghost Cultivators should be on their way. Although they managed to go through the blockade, the goal of the Ghost Cultivators has been achieved. Now, it would be more difficult for Long Xiang’s group to escape.

At this moment, a buzzing sound was heard. Long Xiang turned his head and saw double sting bees heading towards him. Just as Long Xiang was about to attack, the double sting bees lined up. One of the bees flew towards Long Xiang. This caused Long Xiang to stare, but he soon noticed a jade slip in between the legs of the bee. Long Xiang immediately understood that the bees had been sent by Zhao Hai.

Long Xiang took the jade slip. When he scanned it with his spiritual force, he understood Zhao Hai’s plan. Long Xiang waved his hand and said, “Let’s go down.” Although they didn’t understand what Long Xiang was doing, everyone followed Long Xiang to the ground. At this time, more and more Double Sting Bees were filling the sky. Before long, a dark cloud formed.

A nearby cultivator looked at Long Xiang in confusion and asked, “Elder Long, what is this?”

Long Xiang replied, “These Double Sting Bees will cover us. They’ll fly in the sky while we travel underground.” As his voice was heard, he saw a worm crawling out of the ground.

At this time, the bugs sounded out and instantaneously vanished from sight.

Long Xiang and the others stared, then they immediately discovered another cave on the other side. Long Xiang understood that the bugs have connected two caves. They weren’t digging a passage all the way through.

Long Xiang’s group immediately walked towards the new cave. When they arrived at the other cave, they found that there was an insect waiting for them. The insect quickly crawled forward, with Long Xiang and the others following behind.

Two hours after following the insect, Long Xiang and the others were inside another cave. However, this cave didn’t have a way out. Long Xiang looked at the insect in confusion. He found that the insect laid on the ground, probably asleep.

Seeing the insect’s action, Long Xiang stared before understanding the message. He looked at the others and said, “Everyone, take a rest. Then we’ll continue.” Everyone responded and then sat down. Although the environment in the cave wasn’t very good, it was already enough for them to take a good rest.

The group rested in the cave for around five hours. This was the best rest they had in the last few days. When they heard the insect wake up, they were already recovered and full of vigor. Even if they meet Ghost Cultivators right now, they wouldn’t be afraid.

Everyone’s eyes turned to the insect. Since the insect was their guide, they naturally paid attention to it.

Under their gaze, the insect crawled up. Then it dug the earth. Before long, the insect made a hole in the top of the cave, vanishing from sight.

Long Xiang immediately commanded, “It seems like we need to head up. Follow me!” Everyone nodded and then used earth spells to dig up. When they surfaced, they discovered that they were in a jungle. The jungle was quite lush. Sunlight barely reached the forest floor.

Long Xiang looked around and bitterly smiled. Without special methods, he really didn’t know where they were.

At this time, Long Xiang heard a rustling sound and saw another insect drilling out of the ground. On the claws of the insect was another jade slip.
