The sound of Kapok echoed softly in the coffin tunnel, carrying the younger generation's sincere reverence for their ancestors.

A wisp of light green magic power condensed on her fingertips. It was the unique breath of life of the spiritual plant wizard. It was both a gesture of goodwill and a confirmation of her identity.

Ancient witchcraft patterns still remained on the dry bones on both sides of the tunnel. The moment her witchcraft power passed by, a very faint glow appeared, as if the sleeping years were gently awakened.

The spiritual plant Wu Ling was suspended in mid-air, its body woven from countless tiny blue lights. The outline of a woman could be vaguely seen, and the faint fragrance of plants lingered around it.

During the few moments of its silence, the tunnel was so quiet that one could hear everyone's heartbeats. Feng Jingyu subconsciously clenched the witch talisman in his sleeve, while Bai Yuxiu calmly placed his hand on the hilt of the witch bone sword at his waist - no one was sure whether this remnant soul that had experienced thousands of years still retained its sanity.

"The witch charm in your blood is pure." The spirit plant witch spirit's voice seemed to come from a distant time and space, with a broken hoarseness. "During the war between witches and liches, the spirit plant's lineage was almost cut off..." It nodded slowly, and the figure made of blue light trembled slightly. "My remaining soul can help you... that would be great."

Before he finished speaking, the spirit plant Wu Ling's figure suddenly dispersed and turned into light blue light spots all over the sky, like stardust blown by the wind.

Half of the light points accurately flowed towards the spiritual plant flower suspended in front of Kapok's chest. The palm-sized white flower instantly blossomed, the edges of the petals dyed with bright blue, and ancient witchcraft appeared in the center of the flower.

The other half of the light spot condensed into a ball in mid-air, floating quietly and emitting warm energy fluctuations.

"That's great!" Feng Jingyu's eyes flashed with ecstasy. She majored in wind and minored in wood, and the cultivation of spiritual plants was her fatal weakness.

She stepped forward quickly, and as her fingertips touched the ball of light, countless points of light flowed into her body. A warm, wood-elemental magical power instantly swept through her meridians. The veins, previously stagnant from the dense spiritual pressure in the tunnel, now relaxed as if soaked in warm water, and the stagnant magical power began to flow freely.

What surprised her even more was that countless knowledge about the growth patterns of spiritual plants, techniques for inducing growth, and even methods of communicating with plants and trees were engraved into the witch's soul like a brand, and the originally vague wood-based witchcraft instantly became much clearer.

Bai Yuxiu, Gui Jingyun, Lin Huixuan, Grizzly Bear II and another member of the Wu clan followed closely behind.

When Bai Yuxiu absorbed the light spot, his brows furrowed slightly. His sword wizardry had nothing to do with spiritual plants, but the moment the light spot merged with him, he realized the alternative method of "protecting life with the sword";

Gui Jingyun's golden magic power blended with the blue light, and the foundation of defensive magic became more profound;

Lin Huixuan's healing magic power became more agile, and even a faint herbal fragrance seeped out from his fingertips;

Grizzly Bear Two groaned, and his originally powerful earth-based magic power became more resilient, and the muscle lines on his arms softened a little.

The six of them took a moment to gather their breath, the fatigue in their eyes mostly fading. Feng Jingyu flexed his wrist, and a faint vortex of wind-type magical power formed around him. "Keep going, and try to collect a few more gentle witch spirits."

At this moment, her magic power has recovered to 70%, and her speed has increased to 50%. Every movement of her body brings up a slight sound of wind.

The Bone Tunnel was longer than anyone had imagined. The ground was covered with dark brown moss, which was slippery and soft to step on. The dead bones on both sides became thicker as one went deeper, and the tallest ones were even as big as ancient trees that could be hugged by three people.

After walking for about half an hour, the air was suddenly filled with a strong earthy smell, and a yellowish-brown halo lit up at the fork in the road ahead.

"It's the Earth Witch Spirit!" Gui Jingyun's eyes lit up. He majored in earth-based defensive witchcraft and needed this kind of residual soul to make up for his shortcomings.

The shape of the earth witch spirit was like a curled up giant beast, with thick earth elements wrapped around its body. After sensing the witch bloodline of everyone, it took the initiative to separate its remaining soul.

When absorbing the light spots, Gui Jingyun felt as if his body was connected to the ground beneath his feet. The sluggish feeling he had felt when casting defensive witchcraft completely disappeared, and the methods of "borrowing power from the earth veins" and "building shields with rocks and soil" in his witch soul clearly emerged.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, a spring appeared on the left side of the tunnel. Clear water gurgled with white steam, and a light blue figure was floating by the spring - a water witch spirit.

This witch spirit was more gentle, and it turned into a point of light without waiting for everyone to speak. Lin Huixuan absorbed the most. Her healing witch power blended with the water system to produce spiritual water with purifying power. Even the weak spiritual pressure erosion that had remained in Grizzly Bear Two's body was easily dissolved.

Near noon, a burning breath came from the front. A red witch spirit was perched on a charred rock, with tiny flames dancing around its body.

"It's a fire-type witch spirit!" The unknown witch clan member's eyes lit up. He was the fire-type witch.

Although this witch spirit was a bit hot, it did not have any hostility. It seemed that it was willing to stay in the tunnel and wait for the next generation.

After absorbing the light spot, a raging flame ignited all over the disciple's body, but it did not burn his companions at all. The accuracy of his fire control technique was improved by several levels.

After absorbing four residual souls in succession, the magic power of the six people became more and more refined, and a faint magic power barrier formed around their bodies. The strong spiritual pressure in the tunnel had little effect on them.

Feng Jingyu's speed returned to its peak state, and even a faint spiritual light lingered on Bai Yuxiu's sword.

"The end of the tunnel is ahead." Bai Yuxiu pointed to the light ahead, where an arched stone door could be vaguely seen. The stone door was engraved with twisted witch patterns, exuding an ancient and majestic atmosphere.

The six people quickened their pace. Just as they reached the stone gate and were about to push it open to enter the core area of ​​Wanlingyuan, a deafening roar suddenly came from deep in the tunnel.

A violent red air wave swept over in an instant. Wherever it passed, dry bones shattered and the ground cracked into fine lines.

"Be careful!" Bai Yuxiu suddenly pulled Lin Huixuan beside him behind him, and the witch bone sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, and a cold light flashed on the sword.

A red figure rushed out of the darkness like a cannonball, and the entire tunnel shook when it landed.

It was the shadow of a three-meter-tall witch warrior, with his upper body naked and muscles as sharp as rocks. In his hand was a giant axe as big as a door panel. The axe blade was covered with notches, but it still exuded a terrifying murderous aura.

A thick red aura surrounded its body, and its eyes were as red as blood. When its gaze swept over the six people, it was filled with undisguised murderous intent.

"It's a 'Berserk Witch Spirit'!" Bai Yuxiu's face suddenly changed, and his voice deepened. "This type of witch spirit mainly cultivated mad battle magic power in life, fighting for their lives and having extremely violent personalities. After death, they were contaminated by the resentment of the Ten Thousand Spirits Abyss, completely losing their mind and becoming even more violent. Only by forcibly defeating them can their residual souls be obtained!"

"Everyone be careful!" Feng Jingyu reacted the fastest. The wind-type magic power around him surged, and his figure turned into an afterimage, and he instantly circled behind the mad fighting witch spirit.

Three sharp wind blades condensed from her fingertips and slashed towards the witch spirit's back with a sound of breaking through the air - that was the relatively weak part of the Berserker's defense.

"boom!"

The wind blade slashed fiercely on the back of the Berserker Witch Spirit, but only made a dull sound of impact, leaving only three shallow white marks, and failed to even scratch the skin.

The mad fighting witch spirit turned around suddenly, locked its scarlet eyes on Feng Jingyu, let out a beast-like roar from its throat, and chopped towards her fiercely with the giant axe in its hand with the power to destroy the world.

Before the axe blade fell, the violent air wave had already made Feng Jingyu's hair dance wildly, and a tingling sensation came over her cheek.

"Be careful!" Grizzly Two roared and rushed forward like a cannonball.

He gripped the stone axe tightly with both hands, and the earth-based magic power in his body burst out without reservation. The veins on his arms bulged, and he blocked the stone axe in front of Feng Jingyu.

"clang!"

The two giant axes collided violently, and the loud sound of metal clashing echoed in the tunnel, forming a harsh sound wave.

Grizzly Two only felt an irresistible force coming along the stone axe. His arm instantly became numb, and his magic power violently vibrated in his meridians. He retreated continuously as if hit by a huge rock. He took seven or eight steps back before he stabilized his body, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"What a strong power!" Grizzly Two was shocked. He had just broken through to the primary great wizard half a month ago. His strength had increased more than three times than before. Ordinary primary great wizards could not withstand his attack at all, but in front of this crazy fighting wizard spirit, he could not even block a single move.

Lin Huixuan immediately stepped forward, condensed light green healing magic power from his fingertips, and gently pressed it on Grizzly Two's shoulder.

The warm magic power flowed along the meridians, repairing the damaged veins. Grizzly Bear Two groaned and his complexion improved slightly.

At the same time, the golden magic power around Gui Jingyun surged, turning into a dazzling golden light, shooting towards the head of the mad fighting witch spirit like a sharp sword - that was the key part where the witch spirit condensed its soul core.

But the Mad War Witch Spirit did not dodge or evade, allowing the golden witch power to hit his head.

With a "puff" sound, the golden light dissipated, and only a faint crack appeared on its head, which didn't even allow it to stop for a moment.

The Berserker Witch Spirit roared again, and swept out with the giant axe in his hand. At the same time, a surging red air wave burst out from his body, shaking all six people away like a substance.

Kapok staggered backward, the spiritual flower on her chest trembled violently, and the blue light on the petals dimmed a little.

She looked at the Berserker Witch Spirit's unharmed body and said anxiously, "Its defense is too strong. Normal attacks are useless!"

"This is not a solution!" Bai Yuxiu frowned, his eyes fixed on the movements of the Crazy Fighting Wu Ling.

During the previous exchange, he keenly noticed that although this witch spirit's strength and defense were incredibly strong, its movements were relatively slow, especially when turning and changing direction, there would always be brief pauses. "Let's use the 'tactic of trapping the enemy'! Feng Jingyu and I will be responsible for restraining it, while Jingyun, Huixuan, Huixiong Er, and Mianmian will be responsible for attacking its limb joints! The joints are its weak points in defense. As long as we can disable its mobility, we can destroy its soul core!"

The six of them nodded immediately. Years of cooperation allowed them to understand each other's intentions without too many words.

Feng Jingyu took a deep breath, and the wind-type magic power in his body was circulated to the extreme. His figure turned into a blurry afterimage, and kept moving around the mad fighting witch spirit.

She would occasionally send out wind blades, but she no longer attacked the back. Instead, she specifically attacked the eyes, ankles and other parts of the witch spirit to interfere with its vision and movements.

Bai Yuxiu held a witch bone sword in his hand and took quick witch steps, his figure flashing around the witch spirit like a ghost.

His swordsmanship was agile and swift, the tip of his sword repeatedly stabbing at Wu Ling's throat, between his eyebrows, and other vital points. Each strike was filled with a sharp sword energy, forcing the berserk Wu Ling to wield his great axe in defense. The swing of the great axe brought about gusts of wind, but it could never touch the corners of the two people's clothes.

The Berserker Witch Spirit was enraged by the two men, roaring continuously and swinging his giant axe faster and faster, but becoming more and more impatient, with more and more flaws in his movements.

"Now!" Bai Yuxiu shouted sternly.

Gui Jingyun and the other three took action immediately.

The golden magic power around Gui Jingyun condensed into a slender magic blade. He leaped and stabbed towards the right knee joint of the mad fighting witch spirit.

The golden wizard blade pierced the joint gap with a sharp sound.

With a "puff" sound, the witch blade penetrated half an inch, the red resentment rolled violently, and the movements of the madly fighting witch spirit obviously stagnated.

Lin Huixuan formed seals with his hands, and the wood-type magic power in his body surged out wildly. Countless green vines suddenly emerged from the ground and coiled around the joints of the limbs of the mad fighting witch spirit like poisonous snakes.

The vines were covered with tiny barbs that pierced deeply into the witch spirit's body, not only restricting its movements but also constantly absorbing its resentment.

Grizzly Two took the opportunity to rush forward, holding the stone axe high, and poured the magic power in his body into the axe without reservation, causing the axe to emit a thick ochre halo.

"Hah!" He roared, and the stone axe, with a force of a thousand pounds, smashed hard on the left knee joint of the Berserker Witch Spirit.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound echoed, and a noticeable dent appeared at the Berserker's left knee joint, leaking a large amount of red resentment. It roared in pain, its left leg giving way, and it nearly collapsed to the ground.

Kapok Mian seized the opportunity, and the spiritual flower on her chest suddenly bloomed. Countless tiny blue thorns shot out like a rainstorm, landing precisely on the joints of the Berserker Wu Ling's limbs.

These thorns contain the magical power of spiritual plants. After piercing the witch, they begin to grow wildly, taking root in the witch's body like seeds, constantly eroding its soul.

"Roar--!"

The Berserker Witch Spirit was completely enraged, its body surging with red resentment as it tried to scare everyone away. But the four's attacks were like a continuous tide. Gui Jingyun's Witch Blade continuously sliced ​​at joints, Lin Huixuan's vines tightened, Grizzly Bear Two's stone axe smashed repeatedly, and the Kapok Blossom's thorns continued to erode.

Bai Yuxiu and Feng Jingyu also took the opportunity to intensify their offensive.

Bai Yuxiu stabbed Wu Ling's forehead with a sword, and the witch pattern on the sword burst into light, breaking through the outer defense of the soul core;

Feng Jingyu concentrated all his magical power and shot out a huge wind blade, which slashed fiercely on Wu Ling's neck.

"boom!"

The head of the Berserker Witch Spirit suddenly exploded and turned into countless red spots of light.

The headless body staggered a few times and fell to the ground with a bang. The soul at the joints of the limbs also disintegrated, and finally condensed into a ball of pure red light, floating in the air.

The six of them breathed a sigh of relief, unable to hold on any longer, and fell to the ground.

Everyone was panting, most of their magical power was consumed, and they all had injuries to varying degrees.

Lin Huixuan struggled to stand up and released his healing magic power again to heal everyone.

"We finally won." Feng Jingyu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the red light in the air, and a look of relief at surviving the disaster flashed in his eyes.

The strength of this mad fighting witch spirit is almost comparable to that of a peak intermediate great witch. If it weren't for the tacit cooperation among everyone, he would have been defeated long ago.

Everyone took a breath and absorbed the red light.

Although the residual soul of the Berserker Witch Spirit is violent, it contains extremely pure Berserker Witch power and combat experience.

After the absorption was completed, not only did the six people's magic power return to its peak, they even showed signs of a breakthrough.

Grizzly Two felt the surging power in his body and couldn't help but swing his stone axe, making a dull sound of breaking through the air.

"Let's go and take a look at the core area." Bai Yuxiu stood up and pushed open the arched stone door.

Behind the stone gate is an open platform, the edge of which is a bottomless cliff. Across the cliff, five suspended islands can be vaguely seen, each emitting a different aura.

On the other side of the platform, there is a light curtain, which clearly shows the scene of the fifth level - the East China Sea Altar.

Six people and six pairs of eyes were staring at the light curtain. They saw that in the light curtain, Gui Jiangye and ten others were sitting cross-legged around the altar, preparing to break through to become high-level wizards.
