Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 216 Collapse
"I'll be careful, let's go." Pei Nai comforted him.

After all, she had already come to the depths of the secret realm and couldn't go back the same way.

In order to prevent any further incidents, everyone remained silent along the way.

Finally, we left the area where the parrot plants were located, passed through the exit corridor, and entered the 87th block.

As soon as he came in, Gu Jinheng felt something was wrong and asked Ju Liancheng, "Are there any dangerous objects or other matters marked on the map?"

Ju Liancheng shook his head. "No, there are just a few exits with 'Danger, Do Not Enter' written on them."

Gu Jinheng turned his gaze to Luo Yuanying.

Luo Yuanying immediately understood, took out the complete map, handed the right side to Gu Jinheng, and unfolded it together.

"What's the problem?" Han Ruize also came over and asked.

Gu Jinheng's brows were covered with deep coldness, "There are four large creatures here, their bodies almost block the entire corridor, and one of them is blocking our way."

"The only way that cannot be avoided?" Pei Nai thought for a moment, "Is it in the corridor where the exit is?"

Gu Jinheng nodded, "Yeah."

"We have to find a way to lure it away. Have you ever encountered this kind of creature before?" Han Ruize asked, looking at the map.

Gu Jinheng denied: "No, it looks a bit like a porcupine, but its body is more rounded. Judging from its body structure, its impact force should not be underestimated."

"If we can't fight it head-on, why don't we find a fork in the road? Let it rush through, and then we can take the opportunity to leave?" Pei Nai suggested.

Han Ruize frowned slightly. "The closest to the exit is a four-way fork. There is not enough space for everyone to stand on both sides horizontally. We will be separated by other forks. Accidents may occur. Be prepared to disperse."

A preliminary plan had been made and Gu Jinheng did not object, so everyone chose a detour.

The fork in the road near the exit corridor was indeed as complicated as described on the map. Pei Nai and his friends poked their heads out from the fork and saw the characteristic appearance of the creature.

It is indeed shaped like a large porcupine, with an inky black body and full of sharp spikes. Its body is almost clinging to the surrounding stone walls, and it is fat and strong.

The only weird thing is that it has a human face on its head, like a new species formed by the secret ecology imitating humans, or like a chaotic fusion of humans and wild beasts.

The human face coupled with the sturdy beast body is extremely grotesque.

It closed its eyes and seemed to be sleeping.

Because the impact speed of this new creature was uncertain, everyone planned to have Du Ling be responsible for attracting it.

The others hid on the left and right sides of the intersection.

Du Ling walked out and knocked on the stone wall with his weapon, and the creature opened its eyes.

Its strange human face instantly revealed a ferocious look, with blood even flowing from the corners of its mouth. The monster instantly stood up from the ground and rushed towards them at a fearless speed.

Just before it arrived, Du Ling took the Prajna step and moved to the side corridor.

The human-faced porcupine acted slowly and couldn't stop, so it rushed straight down the corridor.

It cleared the exit passage, and Han Ruize quickly directed everyone to move to the next block.

But at this moment, the human-faced porcupine kept sweeping and rolling, and actually straightened its head back in a few breaths.

It bared its bleeding fangs and charged back in fury.

Han Ruize swung his whip to attack, and the powerful force struck forward, hitting its copper and iron body. The impact force directly knocked it over, causing it to fall backwards.

No one expected that the human-faced porcupine would jump and struggle wildly after being hit, with countless spikes shooting out.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud "bang", its body exploded.

The stone wall near it collapsed and cracked in an instant.

Dust was flying all around, and the corridor was completely filled with gravel, mud and sand, blocking the road.

"Let's go!" Pei Nai already had a bad feeling.

The soldiers ran towards the exit.

Gu Jinheng sensed the surrounding environment and suddenly said, "The other three are here too."

Pei Nai remembered the location of the other three and was shocked, "Ju Liancheng and Luo Yuanying are at the fork over there!"

Because they were unsure of the characteristics of the new monster, they placed the three non-powerful people in the back for protection.

Who would have thought that the situation would turn out like this? Pei Nai and Gu Jinheng walked in the opposite direction of the crowd, running towards Ju Liancheng and the others, with Han Ruize following closely behind.

Gu Jinheng's alchemy energy spread far away, and he had already restrained the speed of the human-faced porcupine.

However, the speed of these monsters' charge was so fast that even if they were slowed down a little, it would not change the result.

Ju Liancheng and his companions were on the other side of another crossroad, and behind them, a porcupine with a human face was rushing towards them madly.

If it hits us, everyone in the entire corridor behind us will die.

Pei Nai crossed the intersection and shouted, "Everyone get down!"

The people in front all lay down with their heads held in their hands. Pei Nai swung his spear horizontally, and the wind from the spear swept far away and hit the human-faced porcupine.

The explosion sounded again, and another road was completely blocked.

But before they could react, a porcupine with a human face rushed towards them from both sides of the intersection.

Pei Nai, Gu Jinheng and the people at the end of the team had no time to run towards the exit. Seeing that the two beasts were about to arrive, even if they attacked at this moment, the explosion would injure the people around them.

In order to minimize casualties, they could only evacuate as quickly as possible.

Pei Nai waved his palm to the right, pushing Luo Yuanying, Lin Shengtao and others towards Han Ruize and others.

They fell on the soldiers.

Pei Nai was also pulled to the other side by Gu Jinheng and left the fork in the road.

Before the two human-faced porcupines collided head-on, the silver-armored guards on both sides raised their shields to protect the people behind the corridor.

The moment before the monster exploded.

Pei Nai was held in Gu Jinheng's arms, and he and Han Ruize looked at each other across the side road.

The monster's body, the bursting animal thorns, the flying gravel, the rolling sand
Separate them apart.

When the explosions gradually subsided, the ground was in a mess, and the dust still made Pei Na cough continuously.

Gu Jinheng patted her back, stroking it gently to help her breathe smoothly.

When the situation became critical, Pei Nai pushed Luo Yuanying, Lin Shengtao and several others towards the exit, so that there were fewer people trapped in the corridor.

There were only Pei Nai, Gu Jinheng, Ju Liancheng, and four silver-armored guards.

The Silver-Armored Guards were shouting loudly near the collapsed entrance, but their voices were completely blocked and they could not get any response from Han Ruize and the others.

Pei Nai coughed for a while and finally got better.

"Fortunately, Luo Yuanying has gone there and the map is with him." Pei Nai said.

She had just been coughing uncomfortably, and Gu Jinheng's expression revealed his distress. At this moment, he touched her head with heartache.

Ju Liancheng was standing not far away, looking at the only corridor leading to the outside, looking at the exit at the end and said: "They are pretty good, we are not so good."

"What's wrong?" Pei Nai came over.

Ju Liancheng said calmly: "On the map, there is a special mark next to this exit - 'Danger, Do Not Enter'."

Pei Nai gasped.

Then, Ju Liancheng continued to remind her: "And the next road is outside the map. My brain is useless. I have to rely on my divine energy to explore the way."

"It's okay. Do you have the special ink and pen for marking?" Pei Nai was in a good mood.

Ju Liancheng nodded and took it out from his bag.

"Then remember to mark the direction. In case Han Ruize and the others find it, it will give you hope." Pei Nai instructed.

Ju Liancheng agreed, "Okay."

Pei Nai looked at Gu Jinheng and took his hand, "Let's go, it's good that you are here."

Gu Jinheng seemed to be in a good mood. He took her to the only exit and asked half-threateningly, "Are you just okay?"

"Excellent." Pei Nai quickly corrected himself.
