The Li Tianli that was found in the cave looked exactly the same as the strange dried corpse that the Scrawny Monkey found in the ancient tomb!

Just as we were in a daze, Li Tianli swayed a few times and walked towards us.

His legs were stiff, his knees were stiff, and he walked like two stiff pieces of wood supporting his body, swaying uncomfortably from side to side.

Scrawny Monkey hid behind Wu Ji and asked what they should do.

I glared at him disdainfully, scolding him for being the youngest and bravest.

But the truth is, even I'm afraid from the bottom of my heart.

Wu Ji didn't say anything the entire time. He watched as Li Tianli was dragged towards us with large steps, and as he walked, he held me behind him as he retreated out of the cave.

The area outside the cave was relatively open, and even if they started fighting, they wouldn't suffer too much because of the cramped space.

We don't have any tools, not even a kitchen knife, so we can only go head to head with this thing.

Wu Ji told Scrawny Monkey to protect me later, but looking at his wounds and the way he looks like he's scared out of his wits, I'm not sure who will be the one to protect.

Li Tianli walked forward a few steps before suddenly stopping, unwilling to continue forward.

Just as he was wondering why Yue Yang suddenly stopped moving, Scrawny Monkey pointed excitedly at the light and shadow on the ground: "Light, this thing is afraid of sunlight!"

We saw that it was not the case. The sunlight could only reach the edge of the cave, and Li Tianli had indeed stopped right at the boundary!

Seeing that, Wu Ji laughed sinisterly. Judging from his expression, he must have an idea.

Wu Ji knew that the thing would not come out before nightfall, so we relaxed a little. Wu Ji said that as long as there was something that the thing was afraid of, it would have a way to deal with it.

As we spoke, we immediately left the cave. Wu Ji told Scrawny Monkey and I to find some tall trees and find a way to peel off their bark or to directly chop off their thicker branches.

Scrawny Monkey still asked Wu Ji what was the point of searching for wood, he couldn't possibly want to burn this cave down, but if that thing wasn't burnt to death, how could he burn Old Li to death?

"Enough nonsense, I'll just let you look for him!" Unable to endure Scrawny Monkey's nagging, I directly pulled him away and warned Wu Ji to be careful.

The tall trees in the forest were not hard to find. However, without a tool in hand, it was not even easy to break off a branch, let alone open a book.

It wasn't easy to find a tree branch that wasn't too high, so Scrawny Monkey and I used all our strength and used every single method we could think of. All that was left was our mouth and our teeth, and in the end, Scrawny Monkey even climbed onto a tree and broke the tree branch that was as thick as his arm.

The two of us returned to the vicinity of the cave entrance, but we did not see Wu Ji. I panicked and ran into the cave. Wu Ji was squatting near the cave entrance, using a stone to scratch something on the ground.

Taking a closer look, it looked like something that was drawn on a talisman; it was at least half a meter long. Moreover, there wasn't just one. The entire cave entrance was covered in symbols, completely blocking the cave entrance.

However, Li Tianli was still standing at the position where the sunlight lines were, staring fiercely at Wu Ji with that strange face of his. He was making strange 'da da Da' sounds from his mouth as he paced back and forth anxiously, but he did not dare to cross that line.

Scrawny Monkey handed the branch to Wu Ji and asked him how he should deal with it.

Wu Ji did not answer immediately, but took the tree branch and went out of the cave, finding a rock, and placed the tree branch on top of it. Seeing him take a deep breath, with a kick, the tree branch was broken.

Scrawny Monkey and I were stunned. The branch was as thick as an adult's arm, and it took us a lot of effort to get it down, and because we just broke it off, there was still water in the tree, so it would increase toughness. It was different from dried wood, it was very hard to break.

And Wu Ji's effortless kick would at least require a few hundred kilograms of strength.

I couldn't help feeling a little scared. I had fought with him before when I was joking with him, but he never fought back.

Now that I see his strength, my heart thanks him for not killing me back then. His kick could have crushed my brain …

"Young master, look at your body. It's about the same as mine. Where did this strength come from?" Scrawny Monkey's face was filled with envy.

Wu Ji did not bother to pay attention to him, and continued to pull and stamp on the tree branch, forming seven small sections, with the end of each section being pointed.

Scrawny Monkey could not keep his mouth shut for a moment, and immediately asked Wu Ji what was the use of the tree branch.

This time, Wu Ji finally answered his question. He used sharp stones to draw runes on the branches of each section, and at the same time he outlined his plans.

So it turns out that Wu Ji saw through that thing's fear of Yang, and decided to use the Sun Gathering Formation to deal with that thing.

And the reason he wants us to get this branch is because it belongs to the sun.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, these five elements were all divided into yin and yang, while A was yang, B was yin. The first wood was a towering tree, a tall tree, and the second wood was a type of Arborvitae Radix grass.

Even though wood wasn't the best material for setting up a formation, it was the only way to deal with this barren wilderness.

Moreover, the talisman he drew near the mouth of the cave was used to borrow Yang.

Although the Yin Qi in the mountains were much larger than the ordinary plains, the yang energy was also much greater.

Wu Ji used runes to set up a formation to absorb the surrounding yang energy.

He and Scrawny Monkey carried the seven branches back to the entrance of the cave, and then placed the seven branches according to Greed, Greedy Wolf, Giant Door, Lu Zu, Wen Qu, Lian Zhen, Wu Qu, Po Jun, and their seven directions. All of the tips were pointed towards the cave, making them look like seven sharp blades.

As the tree branches were arranged in a seven star position, Li Tianli became visibly more anxious. He suddenly let out a roar and charged towards us.

Startled, we both took two steps back, but as soon as the sun broke the line he shrank back again, like an ant on a hot pan, circling the line.

Scrawny Monkey was immediately overjoyed, "His grandmother, the milk this time, scared this bro to the point that I started sweating all over. You must be a coward, you actually have the guts to bite me! "

Scrawny Monkey was trembling as he provoked that thing, causing Wu Ji and I to roll our eyes.

After all that had happened, the sky had finally darkened.

After the preparation was complete, Wu Ji warned us to be careful. He said that the light would gradually dim and that the thing would definitely charge out, telling us not to fight recklessly but to protect ourselves.

Scrawny Monkey nodded his head like he was pounding garlic, and I made up my mind that I would not let Wu Ji take the risk.

Wu Ji nodded, and used a piece of the stone to cut his own palm, causing blood to immediately gush out. The stone wasn't sharp enough, and cut his hand until it was covered in blood.

Wu Ji sprinkled a drop of his blood on the runes at the entrance of the cave, and at the same time, he sprinkled seven small runes on the branches of the tree.

Talismans had all sorts of uses, and the tools for drawing talismans were not limited to yellow paper and red sand. Talismans could be drawn anywhere they were needed, and amongst them, the Blood Talisman was the most useful.

Under normal circumstances, no one would use human blood to draw talismans. The majority of blood talismans used chicken blood and dog blood to draw talismans. However, compared to human blood, these talismans were the most lethal and the most effective.

In the previous few times when he did not have any tools on hand, Wu Ji had always tricked Scrawny Monkey to cut off his fingers.

Therefore, when he fought with all his might, Wu Ji directly cut his own palm.

After the completion of the blood symbol, the sunlight inside the cave became fainter and fainter, and the darkness almost completely occupied the entire cave. Li Tianli became even more anxious and restless, constantly roaring from his mouth.

He dragged his stiff legs and walked at a slow, provocative pace, as if we were his food coming to his mouth!

The Scrawny Monkey was timid, he pulled my clothes and pulled me out, saying that he promised Wu Ji that he would protect me.

I slapped his hand away and stood beside Wu Ji. Since we're here together, we'll have to leave together.

When Li Tianli was seven or eight meters away from us, Wu Ji suddenly formed a seal with his hands. His eyes were like torches as he muttered an incantation in his mouth.

That speed was so fast that it actually caused a small whirlpool to form in the sand on the ground …
