Chapter 1282
"Okay."
Xingyao waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop and rest in the open area ahead.
Everyone had been exhausted after a long journey. When they heard this order, they all breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to sit down. Some leaned against the rocks, and some sat directly on the ground.
Everyone soon started chatting, and the topic naturally focused on the robbers who had just appeared.
Everyone discussed the identities of the robbers, and everyone's face was full of confusion and worry.
Xingyao slowly walked towards Li Taihang and Lin Yue.
He came to a big rock next to the two of them, sat on it, looked at the two of them, and asked: "Mr. Li, Miss Lin, what do you think the identities of those robbers are? Why are they here too?"
Lin Yue shook her head gently, stretched out her hand to sweep the hair in front of her eyes, "I don't know either. Those robbers appeared too suddenly, and they looked ill-intentioned."
In fact, she was also confused.
Xingyao cast his eyes on Li Taihang again, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Li Taihang leaned against the rock, crossed his arms, pondered for a while, and slowly said: "These robbers are well-trained, they are definitely not ordinary robbers."
"Their actions are uniform and their attacks are coordinated. They should be disguised, otherwise, this group of robbers is too scary."
"Ordinary robbers don't have such discipline and combat qualities."
"But, if they are really robbers, such existence must be very famous."
"If not, it may be disguised."
"Disguised?" Xingyao frowned, and doubts arose in his heart.
In addition to him who knew about this area, who else would do such a thing?
His eyes narrowed slightly, and various possible characters flashed quickly in his mind.
At this time, he suddenly thought of a person, and his eyes became serious instantly.
"Could it be someone he sent?" Xingyao's voice was low, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was telling Li Taihang and Lin Yue.
"Who is he?"
Li Taihang and Lin Yue asked in unison, their eyes fixed on Xingyao, waiting for his answer.
"To the west of Xing'an City, there is a city called Wanlong City." Xingyao's expression became very serious, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes. "The lord of Wanlong City is called Wanbo. He is not only powerful in himself, but also has the background of the Temple. He is a terrible guy."
"Then do you have any conflicts with him?" Lin Yue asked curiously, with a curious light flashing in her eyes.
Xingyao nodded slowly, "Wanlong City tried to take over our Xing'an City and asked me to recognize Wanlong City as the master, but I didn't agree."
"Although my Xing'an City is not big, it also has its own dignity and independent will. How can it easily succumb to others?"
His voice was firm and full of unyielding will.
"Well, why do they want to take over Xing'an City?" Li Taihang asked doubtfully.
"It has something to do with the Xingmang Ruins, but now that the Xingmang Ruins have been cracked by you, I believe they will not target my Xing'an City."
Xingyao sighed, as if a big stone in his heart was put down, but added with some worry, "But you have to be careful, if they get the news, they will definitely target you."
"That Wanbo is not a good guy. He often does whatever it takes to achieve his goals."
"Okay, let's keep going." Lin Yue stood up, she moved her body and felt that she had recovered.
"Okay." Xingyao responded, then stood up and notified everyone to get ready to set off.
After hearing the order, everyone packed their equipment, carried their bags, and began to gather.
When everyone was ready, they set off again.
But as they went deeper, an uneasy atmosphere began to spread in the team.
Those keen adventurers felt that something seemed to be spying on them in secret.
Suddenly, someone whispered, "Could it be those bandits? Are they here again?"
Everyone looked around but found nothing.
However, the feeling of being stared at did not disappear.
"It's a formation." Lin Yue knew that there was a self-triggering formation here, and they were sensed by the formation after they came in.
At the same time, deep in the cave.
"Damn, how could they come so fast?" The leader cursed in a low voice, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Feng, Yun, you take people to stop them, and never let them come."
The leader made a decision quickly. He knew that if those people were allowed to follow, the consequences would beIt's unimaginable.
"Yes." Feng and Yun answered in unison. They were all capable generals under the leader, and they stood up without hesitation at this moment.
"Follow us." Feng and Yun quickly called a group of men and hurriedly ran in the direction where the robbers appeared, ready to intercept Li Taihang and his men.
They soon came to an entrance, where the terrain was dangerous and it was an excellent interception location.
"If they come, intercept them here."
Feng stood at the entrance, carefully observing the surrounding terrain, and said to his men behind him.
"Yes." Everyone answered in unison, and then quickly dispersed to find a suitable ambush location.
Fortunately, this cave is quite large, intricate, and even has many hidden places.
They quickly found an ideal hiding place, and after carefully hiding, they waited for Li Taihang and his men to arrive.
At this time, Li Taihang and his men had just broken the perception formation and did not know that there was an ambush ahead.
But they also walked forward along the cave passage carefully, because they also knew that they had been exposed.
In this way, they finally came to an area with complex terrain without any danger along the way.
Everyone looked up and saw some strange rocks all around. These rocks were staggered, some like huge mushrooms, and some like inverted spires, forming an underground stone forest.
"Wow, this cave is so big." An adventurer couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of surprise.
"It can no longer be called a cave, but a natural cave." Another adventurer echoed, he stretched out his hand, touched a rock beside him, and felt a cold touch.
"That's right." Everyone nodded. They had seen along the way that this was not an ordinary cave, but a masterpiece left by the magic of nature.
They looked at these strange rocks curiously, attracted by the wonders in front of them, but no one noticed the danger hidden in them.
Above the rocks not far away, the wind and clouds were quietly watching their every move.
"They are coming. Open the mechanism here to deal with them first, and we will do it later!"
Yun said to Feng in a low voice, his eyes were fixed on Li Taihang and others below, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"Okay, but let the brothers hide a little, don't expose us, otherwise we will be unlucky."
Feng replied softly, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
"Don't worry, all our brothers are hiding in high places." Yun said confidently, and he gestured to his men behind him, indicating that they were ready.
"Okay." Feng nodded, and then took out a crystal stone from his arms.
This crystal stone emitted a faint light and looked very mysterious.
Feng gently crushed the crystal stone, and as the crystal stone broke, a faint light flashed and disappeared.
This change caused the formation hidden here to lose its energy supply instantly.
A seal that was originally hidden in the corner, as if it had lost its support, began to crack, and then broke with a "bang".
In an instant, the monster hidden inside, as if it had broken free from its shackles, surged down from above.
At this time, Li Taihang and his companions had already entered the stone forest and were curiously observing the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the front. The sound was like countless claws crawling on the rocks, and it was like a low roar, echoing in the silent cave, making people shudder.
"What's the sound?" An adventurer asked nervously, his body trembling slightly, holding his weapon tightly in his hand.
"It seems to be... Is there a monster?" Another adventurer guessed, his eyes full of fear, and he looked carefully in the direction where the sound came from.
Just when everyone was confused, a lot of figures suddenly emerged in front.
When they saw those figures, everyone took a breath.
"It's the marching ants." Someone shouted in horror.
These army ants were as big as dogs, their bodies were dark in color, and shone with a metallic luster under the weak light.
Their jaws kept opening and closing, making a terrifying "clicking" sound.
These omnivorous guys would devour all living things they encountered along the way, and they were a terrifying existence in the underground cave.
"Everyone be careful!" Xingyao shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the cave.
"Yes."
Xingyao's guards responded quickly, and they tightly protected Xingyao in the middle, forming a tight defense circle,Then they began to retreat slowly.
Li Taihang, Lin Yue and the adventurers were in front of them.
They knew that they had to stop the army ants at this moment, otherwise everyone would be in danger.
"Stop them, don't let them rush over, and don't let them surround us." Lin Yue exclaimed, her face turned pale.
She was very clear about the horror of the army ants.
She had heard a lot of horror legends about army ants. Those places swept by army ants often only had a pile of bones left.
"Retreat over there, we will attack them from a high position." Li Taihang suddenly found that the entrance they came from was a high ground that could be used to intercept the army ants.
"Okay." Everyone answered in unison, and then hurriedly retreated in the direction they came from.
The army ants seemed to have noticed the intention of their prey. They sped up, and countless army ants rushed towards them like a black tide.
The sound made by the densely packed ant colony was like thunder, echoing in the cave and making everyone's ears buzz.
