Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

Xiao Muchen and his companions had just experienced a thrilling, life-and-death battle with the giant python monster. At this moment, their bodies were still as exhausted as lead blocks, and their spirits were still tense. They had not yet recovered from the previous fierce confrontation. However, fate did not seem to intend to give them any chance to breathe. In this brief moment of peace, a group of newly appeared monsters rushed in from all directions like a surging black tide, and instantly surrounded them tightly.

These monsters have different shapes, and each one exudes a creepy and terrifying aura. Some are as huge as ancient elephants, with strong and powerful limbs like Optimus Prime, and every step they take makes the earth tremble violently, as if groaning in pain; some monsters are as agile as lightning cheetahs, moving freely between shadows and dim lights, and their speed is as fast as ghosts, making it almost difficult for people to catch their body tracks; and some monsters can spew blazing flames from their mouths, and the scorching heat seems to be able to turn everything in the world into ashes in an instant, and the air is burned and distorted wherever it goes.

"Everyone, stand back to back and form a circle!" Xiao Muchen shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice penetrating the roars of the monsters, firm and powerful. At this moment, he tightly grasped the Star Sword that was shining with the phantom blue light of the Dark Flame. The mysterious flame on the sword body was swaying in the darkness, as if it was the only light of hope in the endless darkness.

Lin Wan'er, Ling Shuang and Ye Feng responded to Xiao Muchen's command quickly and decisively. The four of them moved together at a very fast speed, back to back, forming a tight defense circle. Their eyes were full of vigilance and determination, and their gazes were like sharp blades, staring at the monsters around them that were constantly baring their fangs and claws and approaching step by step.

The roars of the monsters were like thunders exploding in the ears. The sound seemed to have the power to penetrate the soul, making people tremble involuntarily. Then, a monster as big as a mountain took the lead in launching a fierce attack. It opened its bloody mouth that was big enough to swallow a small house, revealing rows of fangs like sharp daggers, and pounced on Xiao Muchen with a momentum of destroying everything. Xiao Muchen's figure flashed, and he dodged sideways as lightly and agilely as catkins in the wind. At the moment of avoiding the fierce attack of the monster, he swung the Star Sword in his hand, and a sword energy wrapped in the powerful power of the Phantom God Dark Flame broke through the air like a flash of lightning. The sword energy instantly left a huge scar deep enough to see the bone on the monster's body with a force that was faster than thunder. The wound was burned mercilessly by the Phantom God Dark Flame, and billowing black smoke came out. The monster let out a deafening roar in pain.

Lin Wan'er was facing a monster that was as fast as the wind. Its body was erratic, like a ghost in the dark night, constantly moving around Lin Wan'er, trying to find even the slightest flaw. Lin Wan'er was fully focused, her eyes closely following the monster's elusive movement trajectory, not daring to relax at all. At the moment when the monster pounced at her with lightning speed, Lin Wan'er twisted her body flexibly, cleverly avoiding the monster's fatal attack like a lotus leaf in the wind. Then, she stabbed out with a sword in her backhand at a speed as fast as lightning. The long sword in her hand was like a silver lightning, accurately piercing the monster's abdomen. The monster screamed in pain and staggered back, but just a moment later, it gathered its strength again and pounced on her fiercely again.

Ling Shuang and Ye Feng also dealt with the monsters that kept rushing up like a tide. Ling Shuang's palms flew, and the majestic fighting spirit surged out from his palms, forming a series of powerful and invisible airflows. Every swing of the palm wind brought a force as powerful as a tidal wave, repelling the approaching monsters again and again. Ye Feng tightly grasped the weapon in his hand and started a thrilling close combat with the monsters. His moves were sharp and decisive, and every attack was carried with the determination to burn his boats and kill without a doubt.

As the battle time continued to prolong, the number of monsters seemed to increase rather than decrease, pouring out from the dark corners. Xiao Muchen and the others gradually felt powerless, their breathing became more and more rapid and heavy, as if the bellows were pulling desperately; their movements also began to become slow and stiff, no longer as flexible and agile as at the beginning of the battle.

"This is definitely not a solution. We must try every possible way to find a breakthrough!" Xiao Muchen shouted at the top of his lungs while struggling to resist the monsters' wave after wave of crazy attacks. Sweat dripped down his forehead like beads from a broken string, blurring his vision, but his eyes remained firm and unwavering, revealing a determination to never give up.

At this critical moment, a huge monster that could control blazing flames caught Xiao Muchen's attention. The monster exuded a suffocating and powerful aura, and the temperature around it rose sharply because of its existence, as if even the air was burning. A bold plan flashed through Xiao Muchen's mind.

"I will attract all the attention of the fire beast, and you take this opportunity to find a chance to break out!" Before Xiao Muchen finished his words, without waiting for any response from others, he rushed towards the fire beast without hesitation like an arrow.

Although Lin Wan'er and the others were filled with endless worries and concerns, they also knew that at this critical moment of life and death, Xiao Muchen's plan might be their only way to break the current deadlock and escape. So, according to Xiao Muchen's instructions, they began to concentrate all their strength and concentrate on finding the best time to break out.

Xiao Muchen rushed towards the flame beast. His figure seemed so small and lonely in the group of monsters, but so determined and fearless. When the flame beast saw Xiao Muchen rushing towards him, a huge and blazing flame instantly spurted out of its mouth. The flame was like a roaring fire dragon, sweeping towards Xiao Muchen with the momentum of destroying everything. Xiao Muchen was not afraid at all. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He raised the Star Sword in his hand high. The phantom flame on the sword collided and intertwined with the flames spewed out by the flame beast. For a moment, there was a violent "sizzling" sound in the air, as if the entire space was about to be torn apart by the collision of these two extreme forces. The temperature around him instantly soared to the extreme, making people feel as if they were in purgatory.

Xiao Muchen and the Flame Beast had a thrilling, life-and-death duel. Each of his attacks was accompanied by his resolute determination to fight to the death. The Star Sword in his hand was like a bright light that cut through the darkness when he swung it. The Flame Beast was not to be outdone, and it continuously spewed surging flames from its mouth, trying to completely engulf Xiao Muchen in the sea of fire. The flames and the Phantom God's Dark Flame intertwined and collided with each other, forming a gorgeous and extremely dangerous scene. The whole scene was terrifying and thrilling.

At the critical moment when Xiao Muchen was fighting for his life and trying his best to restrain the fire beast, Lin Wan'er and others finally keenly captured a fleeting weak link in the monster's encirclement.

"Now, charge!" Lin Wan'er made a prompt decision, shouted, and rushed in that direction like a wild horse. Ling Shuang and Ye Feng followed without hesitation, gritting their teeth, using up the last bit of their strength, fighting their way out, and finally succeeded in breaking through the seemingly indestructible encirclement of the monsters.

However, they did not choose to escape alone, but stopped not far away, anxiously waiting for Xiao Muchen's return.

Xiao Muchen seized the opportunity and unleashed an extremely powerful sword move. The phantom flames on the Star Sword instantly erupted like a volcano, forming a powerful force that could destroy the world and forcefully pushed the flame beast back several steps. He took the opportunity to quickly get rid of the crazy entanglement of other monsters at lightning speed and rushed towards the direction of his companions.

"Go!" Xiao Muchen shouted at the top of his lungs.

Without any hesitation or pause, they turned around and rushed forward like an arrow from a bow into the deeper part of the secret realm. However, the group of monsters behind them continued to chase them closely, their angry and ferocious roars echoing in the passage behind them, as if they would never give up chasing these uninvited guests who dared to invade their territory.

Xiao Muchen and the others ran desperately in the narrow and winding passage. The stone walls on both sides flashed with strange and dark lights, as if silently watching this life-and-death chase. Their footsteps sounded particularly loud and heavy in the silent passage, and every step seemed to exhaust all their strength.

"Running blindly like this is not a long-term solution. We must find a safe place to hide as soon as possible!" Ye Feng said while running desperately and breathing heavily. His voice sounded a little hoarse due to extreme fatigue.

"There's a cave ahead. Maybe we can go in and take shelter temporarily!" Lin Wan'er pointed sharply at a dark cave entrance not far ahead and shouted.

When everyone heard Lin Wan'er's cry, they rushed into the cave without hesitation. The cave was filled with a damp and decayed smell, and the darkness seemed to hide countless unknown dangers and mysteries. But at this moment, they could no longer care about so much...
