The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

However, before they could enjoy this moment of peace, the surrounding trees suddenly began to shake violently and the leaves rustled.

A group of mysterious people in black robes surrounded them from all directions, their eyes full of hostility.

"It seems the trouble is not over yet." Xiao Yichen said in a low voice. He and Lan Yunyan stood back to back, looking vigilantly at the enemies around them.

These mysterious men in black robes held all kinds of strange weapons in their hands, some were sickles flashing with cold light, and some were magic wands emitting a strange aura.

The mysterious man in black robe did not speak, and they attacked at the same time.

Xiao Yichen and Lan Yunyan immediately engaged in a bitter battle, waving lightsabers and whips in the crowd. Each attack could repel several enemies, but more mysterious men in black robes kept pouring up.

During the fierce battle, Xiao Yichen discovered that these mysterious men in black robes seemed to be moving around a formation, and their attacks had a certain pattern.

After observing carefully, he shouted to Lan Yunyan, "They are setting up a formation. We have to break their formation!"

Lan Yunyan nodded, and the two began to rush towards the key position of the formation.

Xiao Yichen moved like a ghost, weaving through the enemies. Wherever his lightsaber touched, they fell one after another. Lan Yunyan's whip also exerted its powerful power, disrupting the formation of the mysterious man in the black robe with every swing.

As they approached the center of the formation, the mysterious men in black robes began to panic and their attacks became more frantic.

Xiao Yichen saw the opportunity and rushed towards a mysterious man in a black robe in the center of the formation. This mysterious man seemed to be their leader, and the magic wand in his hand exuded powerful magic.

Xiao Yichen's lightsaber and wand collided, unleashing a powerful wave of energy. Lan Yunyan seized the opportunity to whip the surrounding enemies with her long whip, disrupting their formation.

After a fierce battle, the mysterious men in black robes finally began to collapse. They fled in all directions and disappeared into the surrounding woods.

Xiao Yichen and Lan Yunyan looked at the direction where the mysterious man in black robe fled, and their tense nerves relaxed a little. Xiao Yichen wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and the blood left a dark red mark on his cheek.

Lan Yunyan was breathing slightly, and the starlight on the long whip flickered with her breathing.

"We can't be careless. We have to leave here quickly." Lan Yunyan said, looking around.

Xiao Yichen nodded, and the two were about to leave when suddenly, a strange buzzing sound sounded in the air.

They looked up and saw a group of black flying insects appearing in the sky. These flying insects were huge, each one was the size of a palm, and the sound made by the vibration of their wings made people's eardrums hurt.

The flying insects rushed towards them like a black wave, and Xiao Yichen and Lan Yunyan immediately raised their weapons.

Xiao Yichen swung the lightsaber, and the blade cut through the air, forming arcs of light. Each arc of light could kill a few flying insects, but there were too many flying insects, and they kept swarming over.

Lan Yunyan rotated the whip, forming a circular defensive circle. The flying insects hit it, making crackling sounds and splashing some green mucus.

"This is not a solution. We need to find shelter." Xiao Yichen shouted loudly.

Lan Yunyan looked around and found a cave not far away.

"Over there!" she shouted, and the two of them ran towards the cave.

After entering the cave, flying insects circled around the entrance, but no one dared to enter rashly. Xiao Yichen and Lan Yunyan had just breathed a sigh of relief when they heard heavy footsteps coming from deep within the cave. They looked warily into the darkness, where a huge figure slowly emerged.

This is a stone giant, its entire body made of solid rock, and every step it takes makes the ground shake.

When the stone giant saw Xiao Yichen and Lan Yunyan, he roared and raised his huge fist to smash towards them.

Xiao Yichen and Lan Yunyan quickly separated and dodged, their fists hitting the ground, splashing up a cloud of gravel.

Xiao Yichen seized the opportunity and rushed towards the stone giant's legs. He tried to cut off the giant's ankle with his lightsaber, but the lightsaber only left a shallow mark on the stone.

Lan Yunyan went around the back of the stone giant and wrapped the long whip around the giant's knee joint. She pulled hard, trying to make the giant lose balance.

However, the giant's strength was too great, and it pulled Lan Yunyan over instead. Seeing this, Xiao Yichen quickly jumped up and chopped at the giant's arm to distract it.

The stone giant turned around and attacked Xiao Yichen again. Xiao Yichen dodged nimbly and noticed a faint light in the giant's eyes, which seemed to be its weak spot.

"Attack its eyes!" Xiao Yichen shouted to Lan Yunyan.

Lan Yunyan understood. She used the power of the whip to leap into the air and swung it towards the giant's eyes.

The starlight power on the whip hit the giant's eyes. The giant roared in pain and began to wave his arms wildly.

Xiao Yichen took the opportunity to rush towards the giant's other eye again. He concentrated the power of the lightsaber at one point and stabbed the giant's eye fiercely.

The moment the lightsaber pierced the eye, the stone giant let out an earth-shaking scream, its body began to shake, and finally fell down with a loud bang.

Xiao Yichen and Lan Yunyan were panting. Before they had time to rest, the flying insects outside the cave seemed to sense the death of the stone giant and began to swarm towards the cave.

The two had no choice but to prepare for battle again.

At this moment, Xiao Yichen discovered some strange runes glowing on the wall of the cave. He walked closer and found that these runes seemed to contain some kind of power.

Lan Yunyan also noticed this. "Maybe this is the key to us getting rid of flying insects," she said.

Xiao Yichen tried to touch the rune. The moment his hand touched the rune, a ray of light shot out from the rune, illuminating the entire cave.

The flying insects seemed to be afraid of the light and retreated. At the same time, some patterns appeared on the rune, like a map.

"This may be the map that guides us out of here." Xiao Yichen said.

Lan Yunyan looked at the pattern carefully and said, "Let's go in this direction."

The two followed the direction indicated by the map and walked towards the depths of the cave.
