Chapter 123

  Xue Wei and Xue Hui slowly loosened their hands, and indeed, there was no fluctuation in their bodies.

  "Xue Wei Xue Rui, you've woken up!" Gala Xue exclaimed with joy beside them.

  "Galor sister, are you okay?" Xuewei Xuetu was delighted to see Galor safe and sound.

  Xiao Chen was still thinking about the Taiji-shaped spiritual vortex inside Xue Wei and Xue Hua, he really wanted to know what effect this variant spiritual vortex had.

  "Xue Wei, Xue Rui! You two try releasing your magic and see." Xiao Chen said from the side.

  "Master, we're starving!" Xue Hua cried out.

  "Then you eat first!" Xiao Chen smiled lightly, heating up the leftover food from dinner and bringing it over. The two women had been hungry for several days and wolfed down the remaining two night-colored rabbits.

  "Delicious!" Xue Hui wiped the oil from her mouth and patted her bulging little belly.

  Xue Hui was more reserved.

  "Now you can try and see if there's any change in releasing magic." said Xiao Chen.

  "Alright, I'll give it a try." Xue Tong replied, she made a slight movement and a fireball appeared in her hand... The fireball floated there, burning fiercely, seemingly without any change.

  But Xue Tong let out a "huh" and furrowed her brow slightly, seemingly hesitant. Next to the fireball, water elements began to gather, and soon, a water ball also took shape.

  "How can this be? Simultaneously gathering water and fire magic?" Galois exclaimed in shock, utterly incredulous.

  Even if a dual-system mage, it's impossible to gather two kinds of magic at the same time, let alone water and fire which are conflicting. A ball of water and a ball of fire were slowly rotating in Xue Tong's palm, very gentle, as if there was no sign of conflict at all.

  After a while, the two balls of water and fire were slowly approaching each other.

  In Gala Snow's incredulous gaze, two heterogeneous repulsive spheres merged together, water with fire, and fire with water.

  Xue Hui lightly plucked it, and the strange water and fire dual sphere slowly flew out, gently colliding with the rock, a fierce shock suddenly burst out.

  "Not good!" Xiao Chen hastily pushed the three women down to the ground!

  Rumble! A huge explosion sounded, and the cave was not large to begin with. A violent shockwave caused large rocks to fall down, instantly burying Xiao Chen and the three women under the stones... "Young master... are you okay?" Xue Wei anxiously asked, they felt a heavy weight on their bodies, surrounded by complete darkness.

  "I'm fine." Xiao Chen's voice came from the darkness, earlier in his haste to knock down the three women, he had quickly released a wind shield on his back, so those stones hadn't hit him.

  "Ah! What is this?" In the darkness, his hand pressed down on a soft and bulging thing, and he couldn't help but pinch it.

  "A faint moan escaped."

  Xiao Chen's body trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to think about it carefully. He quickly let go of his hand. At this time, he could feel the softness under him, and the three women were pressed under his body, tightly attached to each other without any gaps. Even the breathing of the other party was clearly felt, among which one breath was particularly heavy.

  He exerted himself with his upper body upwards, but felt an extremely heavy weight on his back, at least several thousand kilograms of heavy objects pressing down on him.

  "He took a deep breath and said: 'You, release the protective shield first.'"

  Three women responded in unison, a layer of hazy yellow light appeared, Xiao Chen's hands were placed on the ground, and he fiercely pushed outward with a loud rumbling sound. Many rocks rolled out, and he continued to squeeze the stones outward until his body was propped up.

  Xiao Chen's gaze swept across, and inside the cave was a mess, all were stones that had rolled down and piled up, even the entrance of the cave was sealed off.

  He pushed away several stones that were pressing on his body, stood up, and then cleared the stones to pull up the three women on the ground.

  Everyone is disheveled and dirty.

  Xue Tong stuck out her tongue: "Sorry, I didn't know it would be like this?"

  "What a huge power!" Everyone saw a huge pit appear above the cave.

  "This time, it's at least the power of a two-star high-level magic, and I think Snowy hasn't used her full strength yet. If that's the case, then Snowve is probably around the same level too." Galo Snow said.

  "En." Xue Tui was a bit excited.

  Unexpectedly, after a disaster, their bodies changed to produce such a powerful vortex of law. The first thing they thought of was Xiao Chen. If it weren't for Xiao Chen's guidance and teaching them the art of yin-yang fusion, they wouldn't have been able to condense this brand new vortex of law.

  Xiao Chen spent the whole night clearing away all the rubble at the entrance of the cave, which was only about 5-6 meters deep. The array set up outside had also been destroyed by the magical explosion.

  At dawn, Xiao Chen took them out of the cave.

  Ah! Breathing in the fresh air outside, everyone felt like they had regained their freedom. They looked at each other's dirty faces and tattered clothes, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Master, how is the forest now? Are there still ferocious beasts?" Xue Wei asked with lingering fear, the scene of being surrounded by ferocious beasts that day and almost forced to self-destruct was still vivid.

  Xiao Chen shook his head: "I'm not sure either, let's walk and see."

  Under Xiao Chen's lead, the group began to head out of the Night Forest, walking over ten kilometers. The three women gradually became astonished: "Why haven't we seen a single wild beast?"

  The forest is eerily quiet, and on the road, you can occasionally see some human remains, shattered bones, but not a single large wild animal is in sight.

  This strange and abnormal scene made them extremely shocked, even secretly uneasy. Xiao Chen naturally didn't know the reason either, and even his thoughts wandered out, but he didn't find any trace of a fierce beast.

  "Let's go, we'll speed up." Xiao Chen cast a wind-type rapid magic.

  The three women also drank some accelerating medicine, they flew quickly through the forest, because there were no fierce beasts, they went all the way unimpeded. After one day, the four of them arrived at the edge of the forest, with scars all over their faces. Some adventurers' tents and soft beds were on the ground, many trees were broken, and the ground was covered with footprints of fierce beasts.

  "What's going on?"

  Have all the ferocious beasts in the dark forest disappeared?

  Xiao Chen crouched on the ground, staring at those footprints, his eyes flashing with thought.

  "So many footprints, it seems they are spreading out along this road. These ferocious beasts, could they be pouring out in a swarm... Ah, what big footprints!"

  Xiao Chen saw in the distance a two-meter-long giant footprint, half a meter deep in the ground. What kind of creature was this, so enormous?

  "Let's take a break and head to Wunuo City first," said Xiao Chen.

  The dark forest only had one main road leading out, which led to the nearest city of Wunuo, so Xiao Chen also had no choice but to follow it, although he looked at the footprints on the ground and felt a little uneasy.

  Along the highway, I continued to walk, and on the side of the road, human corpses still appeared sporadically, broken carriages, all of these corpses were torn apart beyond recognition.

  "How could this be? This is an official road! So many people have died on the official road!" Galois's face looked unpleasant.

  They walked for a whole day, still not seeing a single person, only corpses everywhere. This scene would drive people crazy, as if the entire world had suddenly been destroyed, with an apocalyptic feeling.

  The next day, the four of them continued on their way forward. As they walked, all they saw were desolate scenes, and even the usually lively Xue Rui fell silent.

  Four people walked very quietly.

  Suddenly, a shrill eagle cry echoed through the sky.

  Several people looked up and saw a dozen or so black dots flying down from high in the sky.

  "Dark Hawk! They are the ferocious beasts of the dark forest. I didn't think they would actually come out," said Galois Snow.

  A dozen or so dark night owls swooped down, Xiao Chen's eyes coldly gazing at the sky, just about to take action, two spheres of water and fire fusion shot out, boom! Boom! Two intense explosions, two ripple-like concentric circles shook out, a dozen or so dark night owls with momentum were actually all blown into small pieces.

  The strong gusts of wind even made people below stumble and struggle to stand upright.

  "These ferocious beasts, how detestable...!" Xue Wei and Xue Rui withdrew their hands. Along the way, they had seen nothing but human corpses slaughtered by these ferocious beasts, and they were extremely indignant about their atrocities.

  They killed the owl of darkness and continued on their way.

  Walked for another half day.

  Suddenly, Xiao Chen stopped in his tracks and looked in one direction.

  "There's movement! Let's go take a look." He darted off, rushing towards the open fields outside the official road.

  He parted a clump of grass and saw a group of people, to be exact, several dozen men and women, all dusty and exhausted, but this group of people was staring at each other. Outside, more than a dozen swordsmen surrounded twenty or thirty people, trapping them inside, while the women trapped in the middle let out terrified cries.

  "You bunch of bastards, I spent so much money hiring you, and yet you still want to betray me? Kill me? Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this?" A young man dressed in luxurious attire and extremely obese shouted.

  "It doesn't matter who you are, even if you're the son of the Heavenly Emperor, it's useless. As long as I kill you, no one will know. The entire city of Wunuo is now occupied by ferocious beasts, and even the Lord of the City has been killed by them. If you die, everyone will think you were bitten to death by a ferocious beast." A swordsman surrounding them sneered.

  "You... you scoundrels!" The fat young man was so angry he couldn't speak.

  "Stop wasting words and get moving! Kill him!" Several swordsmen charged out with a burst of energy.

  Several swordsmen also jumped out beside the young fat man.

  The chubby young man even waved his hand and condensed a fireball, smashing it towards a swordsman.

  But his half-baked magic level was no match for the sword that shattered the fireball.

  Plop! Plop! People keep falling down one after another.

  Several of Pao Tzu's loyal bodyguards fell down and several women screamed.

  "Stop calling out, little beauty. I'll come to serve you after I've killed this fatty." The surrounding swordsmen heard the cries and became even more excited, their hands moving faster.

  Fatso was sweating profusely as he stared at the dozen or so people closing in on him, his face filled with terror. He hadn't expected that a trip to play in Wunuo City for a few days would lead to such bad luck, and now he might even die here for no reason.

  "Damn it, damn it!" He cursed loudly, and suddenly his eyes changed sharply, looking behind the group of swordsmen.
