When the three of them heard what Zheng-Fu said, their expressions imdiately turned pale, and their brows furrowed with worry. They began to hesitate. Because if the monster beast ahead was as strong as the bear in front of the cave entrance, they would only die.
"So, are we still going in?" Yun-Xiang-Kong tried to regain his composure and asked Zheng-Fu with fear and heavy thought.
"I didn't say we were going in. I just said I'm going in. So, if you guys follow in, I won't mind. But I probably won't be able to protect you all if sothing happens!" Zheng-Fu smiled mischievously at the corner of his mouth as he replied. Because he intended to go in and explore alone. So, he pretended to say it like that.
Ah!
"Why do you say that? Aren't we comrades?" Yun-Xiang-Kong imdiately looked sad when he heard Zheng-Fu say that. Because he thought Zheng-Fu would help him and take him further.
"Of course, we're comrades. But we weren't that close. So, this ti each person must take care of themselves!" Zheng-Fu still had a smile on his face. But his words left Yun-Xiang-Kong helpless. Because there was nothing wrong with what Zheng-Fu said.
"Then I'll go wait outside with everyone. Because just getting these Deity Crystals is more than enough luck. If I have to take a risk without knowing if I have a chance of winning, I would rather take a step back. After all, there's still another chance!" The middle-aged woman knew her abilities well. So, she chose to retreat rather than risk going inside.
" too. I'll go outside and wait for you. However, I must thank you very much for bringing us here and for teaching us so many things. I, n-Xiang-Du, now owe it to you!" The middle-aged man admired Zheng-Fu very much. He was grateful that Zheng-Fu had taught him many things. Also, Zheng-Fu brought him to harvest these low-grade Deity Crystals.
"I'm Yi-Lin-Qi. Nice to et you, and thank you as well." Seeing that the middle-aged man introduced himself, the middle-aged woman also introduced herself.
"You guys don't have to be so polite. Besides, you don't owe anything. It's all just a by-product," Zheng-Fu said with a shrug. Before he walked deeper into the cave alone, not caring about anything anymore.
"He looks very mysterious. I don't know exactly how old he really is. Judging from his appearance, he is probably only twenty-seven to twenty-nine years old," n-Xiang-Du said softly after Zheng-Fu walked away. He still felt curious about Zheng-Fu's identity. But he did not dare ask anymore. Because he was not close enough to Zheng-Fu.
"No matter how mysterious he looks, he's a good and trustworthy person!" Yun-Xiang-Kong did not follow Zheng-Fu because he knew that he was still weak. And even though there was no monster beast on the path ahead, he still chose to stay there and wait for Zheng-Fu to return.
Umm!
After Zheng-Fu separated from the three of them, he moved forward with a relaxed expression. Because in the surrounding area within a radius of several hundred ters, he could feel everything very well. Therefore, he knew how safe the path ahead was.
Back outside the cave...
Yaaaaak!!!
"Go to hell, you damned bear!"
Groan!!!
Floof!
Swoop!
Aaaaaah!!!
More than half of the initial Heavenly Deity Originate Stage Grandmasters group had been killed by the Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast. At first, this bear acted like it was weak. But after fighting for a while, it grew stronger and stronger. And finally, the encirclent the Grandmasters surrounded, which they thought was dense enough, shattered.
Aside from the Grandmaster who was at the fifth level of the Heavenly Deity Originate Stage, the survivors were Sen-Lao, his comrade, and a few Grandmasters in their group. As for the employer, he had fled first because he loved his life.
"What the hell is this? How did this crazy bear beco stronger to this level!?" the middle-aged man shouted, not understanding and feeling remorseful.
"Maybe it was because there was a magic item in this cave or so kind of treasure that could allow it to quickly level up its energy level. And if we can kill it, we'll possess that treasure!" Sen-Lao himself did not know. But he thought that there must have been a magic item in the cave. Just the Deity Crystal alone would definitely not make the bear this strong in such a short period.
"So, how do we deal with it? Now we don't have many people left. Only you, your comrade, and I can fight it. The rest of them couldn't handle it at all!" the middle-aged man with the highest energy level the employer had brought over interrupted with a serious expression.
"This ti we might need so special help!" Sen-Lao's comrade said with a mischievous expression. Before he turned and looked in the direction of the cave that the newcors had entered.
"What exactly do you want to do? Can you say it clearly? Why must it be mysterious? We don't have much ti right now. We must act quickly!" The Grandmaster was extrely annoyed when he saw the middle-aged man's mysterious expression. Because at that ti, the situation was at great risk.
"We'll use those newcors as bait. We'll lure the bear back to the cave and make it interested in those people. Then we can defeat him with this!" The middle-aged man explained his plan to the Grandmaster before he took out a golden needle the size of a human's little finger.
Hah!
"That's right! Are you really planning to use this thing?" Sen-Lao knew the golden needle well. And he did not think that his comrade would use it in this situation.
"I have no choice. Anyway, we've to take a risk. Because if we can kill this Earth Armored Bear and get the magic item inside, it's worth wasting this golden needle. But there are a few problems when using it. Because I need to get closer. And use it when the bear doesn't realize it!" The middle-aged man knew exactly what he was doing. But now greed had taken over him. Because he thought that there would definitely be a magic item in the cave, he agreed to lose this important item.
"Whatever that golden needle is, if it can really be used, then we should start taking action on it. As for the rewards that will be received, we'll talk later!" Although the Grandmaster wanted to know what the golden needle was, he chose not to ask anything now. Because the only important thing now was whether it would work or not.
"All right! Then let's begin..."
"Everyone, step back! We'll head into the cave." Grandmaster imdiately shouted for his n to retreat. Because he would start following the plan.
Yes, sir, Leader!
When the remaining Grandmasters heard their leader shout, they imdiately retreated quickly. The direction of their retreat was the cave entrance.
Groan!!!
But Earth Armored Bear would not allow those invading its space to escape easily. It let out a resounding roar containing a powerful energy. And this ti, it was its true energy.
Groan!!!
"Leader, help ... Augh!"
Booooom!!!
You crazy bastard!
"It still hides its true energy level!"
"Energy wave at this level... It must be at the eighth level of the Heavenly Deity Originate stage!" Grandmaster leader's face turned white as he felt the energy wave that Earth Armored Bear unleashed.
"The situation is already very bad! You must hurry and use your golden needle now. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't survive!" Sen-Lao also knew that the situation was dire, so he told his comrade to imdiately use the golden needle.
But...
Groan!!!
Floof! Floof!
Aaaaaah! Aaaaaah!
At that mont, the Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast had killed two initial Heavenly Deity Originate stage Grandmasters in the blink of an eye. The two of them did not have a chance to react and were already killed by its claws.
"Hurry up! We can't wait any longer!" Sen-Lao's face turned even paler when he saw the two Grandmasters die so quickly. He knew that if his comrades did not use the golden needle right away, they would all die for sure.
"I understand! But you all must help , draw its attention to you!" The middle-aged man understood that he had to take action. But he could not act imdiately. Others had to distract the bear first so that he could take action.
All right!
"But we can't delay for long!"
Umm!
"Today, if it's not , it's you who will die!"
[Firmant Slashing Sword Skill]
Groooaaan!!!
Booooom!!!
Sen-Lao's attack this ti used up all of his remaining energy to make the bear pay attention to him, which worked well. After Earth Armored Bear was attacked with Firmant Slashing Sword Skill, it was very angry at Sen-Lao and turned its attention to him.
"Hey, you stupid bear! Don't forget that there's still too!"
[Cloud Severing Fire Ax Skill]
Phuuuuu!!!
Booooom!!!
Groan!!!
After Sen-Lao caught Earth Armored Bear's attention for a few monts, the Grandmaster leader imdiately started his attack. This attack caused the fur on the bear's back to turn black because of the flas from his Cloud Severing Fire Axe Skill.
Excellent!
"Draw his attention. I need so more ti to prepare!" The middle-aged man was delighted to see that the two of them were able to attract its attention. But even then, he needed a little more ti.
"Don't be long! Our attacks can only poke it!"
Understood!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Groan!!!
Ca back to Zheng-Fu again...
After he walked about two to three li deeper into the cave, Zheng-Fu also encountered so more stalactites dangling from the ceiling of the cave. And of course, inside those stalactites were all Deity Crystals like on the outside. But Zheng-Fu ignored it and walked past.
After a mont, Zheng-Fu sensed a creature in front of him. From its shape and appearance, Zheng-Fu could tell that it was the sa species of the Earth Armored Bear as the bear outside and had the sa energy level. But what caught Zheng-Fu's attention was not this bear but the huge lump of crystal behind it. And this huge crystal gave off a feeling of enormous and pure energy.
"Could this be what they were looking for?" Zheng-Fu thought that those people had co here because of this crystal.
Groooaaan!!!
At the sa ti, Earth Armored Bear, who had been guarding the huge crystal, suddenly opened its eyes. Before it stared at Zheng-Fu with murderous eyes and roared at him.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
But that was not all. Besides this Earth Armored Bear, there were other Earth Armored Bears in there as well. And each of them that was coming out was equally strong.
