Li Huaiyun still had that solemn look on his face, and he vaguely felt that this was not the case.
Simply, seeing the two women looking so happy, he felt something was wrong.
The experience of those who have been there tells him that champagne should never be opened at halftime!
Li Huai turned around and shouted to the two arrogant women, "Why did you come down?"
Mu Yuan glanced at him, "Isn't it because you can't pull that monster away? Come and help while they retreat!"
Narcissus couldn't hide the bright smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth almost reached her neck. She was wearing a cheongsam, and her erect peaks and curvy buttocks made her figure even more graceful, "How about it! Master, those monsters have been beaten by us." Run away! Is my archery accuracy very high?"
"High!" Li Huaiyun gave a thumbs up, which made Narcissus even more proud. "When I was groping on the rock wall before, who shot that arrow?"
"Me! Me! Me!" Narcissus raised his hand and said loudly.
"Why are you doing this?"
"There is something going around you. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I shot that arrow specifically to give you a warning!"
"It turned out to be a reminder. I thought who wanted me dead! That arrow is not far away from me!"
Narcissus raised his hand and showed off the crossbow in his hand, "Master, don't worry, my accuracy is very high!"
"With you here, I should feel relieved!"
"Yes! Master, we will help you pull this monster up right now." Narcissus saw something wrapped in cloth hanging on Li Huaiyun's waist. It looked like an arm.
She frowned and pointed at Li Huaiyun's waist, "Master! Could this thing be?"
"It's just an arm!"
"Why are you strapping this thing to your body?"
"This arm is very different from other broken limbs."
Mu Yuan asked, "What's the difference?"
"Compared to the others, this arm should have been abandoned here in the past few days."
"Then when we go out, we can use this arm to find the missing person, and maybe we will make new discoveries!"
Li Huaiyun nodded in agreement, "Smart!"
A special smile flashed across Mu Yuan's face, "The only problem is how to determine the identity."
"There are some obvious features on this arm, it should be easy to identify!" Li Huaiyun said, "You and Narcissus look around, let me take care of this monster, especially when going up the steps, pay attention to the rock walls on both sides!"
"Well! Let's hurry up. It's pitch dark here! It's quite dangerous!" Mu Yuan suggested, looking towards the deep darkness in front of her.
The two women stayed beside Li Huaiyun. They walked up the steps slowly.
Just after walking for a while, in this frightening darkness, there was a sound that made people's hair stand on end. It sounded like many stones were gently rubbing together.
Along with the sound of dense footsteps, the monsters gradually appeared in their sight. They were on all fours, like ants, crawling towards the steps quickly.
"Ah! Appeared again!"
Mu Yuan and Narcissus, who originally had smiles on their faces, were already at a loss when faced with the situation at this time. "Didn't they retreat? Why did they suddenly surround them again?"
Li Huaiyun looked at the rock walls on both sides, "This monster retreated in order to advance. It observed our behavior in secret, and then chose the most appropriate time to take advantage of it and defeat us in one fell swoop."
"Observe secretly?"
"Yes," Li Huaiyun dragged the rope net and continued to walk up. His arms had begun to feel sore, and those monsters were waiting for this moment, so that they would not need to fight hard and suffer greater casualties.
Who is controlling these monsters? Why is there such wisdom.
"Hurry up!" Mu Yuan and Narcissus urged.
Li Huaiyun gritted his teeth, grabbed the net rope containing the monster, and walked upward step by step. He had known better than to get a pulley or something and just pull it up.
This monster is so thin, why is it so heavy? Are the bones heavy?
"Can we go faster?" Mu Yuan and Narcissus shouted. They had thrown all the spiritual weapons on their bodies down the steps, just to slow down the climbing speed of these monsters.
Li Huaiyun was also in a hurry. He was breathing heavily, "I'm working hard, this monster is a bit heavy."
Mu Yuan kept firing crossbow arrows backwards, "It's too slow! There are monsters on the rock walls on both sides of the steps that have already surpassed us."
"If we are any slower, those monsters will jump on top of us and then rush down."
Narcissus was also a little tired, and his breathing gradually became heavier, "No, there are too many monsters! I don't even have the strength to raise my hands."
Li Huaiyun looked at the rock wall in front of him. Just as Mu Yuan said, he was traveling too slowly and had been overtaken by those monsters! While dragging the rope net, he kept pumping his fists, sweeping the rock wall with force and knocking down the monsters climbing above.
In this way, the three of them cooperated with each other and kept walking up the steps. A journey of hundreds of steps had now become extremely difficult.
And what followed was even more exhausting for them physically and mentally.
Li Huaiyun's energy consumption was relatively large, and his body was already a little weak and aching. While the other two women were tired and had almost used up their crossbows and spiritual weapons.
They only had the last hundred or so steps left.
The number of those monsters is really terrifying. Unless they have some kind of magician's group attack skills, there is no way to continue like this.
He shouted weakly at the top of his voice, "How are you doing? Can you hold on? We'll be up there soon."
"It should be fine!"
Narcissus raised her hand and used a crossbow to kill the attacking monster. She could clearly feel that her body's movement slowed down, and the bow and arrow with spiritual power would soon reach its bottom.
"The number of crossbows is not enough, and there are also explosive balls," she said loudly, "This body's physique is not very good. I should have asked the master to give me a man's body!"
Li Huai shook his head vigorously, yes! Why didn't I expect that this woman's body, as beautiful and attractive as it is, turns into a vase at the critical moment?
Mu Yuan threw the explosive ball, and a huge fire ignited on the steps. Many monsters were wrapped in the fire ball, burning with crackling sounds, and some smell of barbecue could be smelled.
Seeing the monster hunters above, they also came to support. They were here to reinforce and shoot down the monsters climbing up the rock wall.
"How are you?"
"We're at the end of our rope!" Li Huaiyun dragged the rope to the steps where the monster catcher was. "The monsters below are still crawling over here. We must get out quickly."
"This amount! Why is there so much?"
"I want to know too!" Li Huaiyun shook his head, "Anyway, just get out quickly!"
"Hurry up and tell someone outside that we need help below. If Sikyong is here, tell them that the princess is in trouble!"
Mu Yuan couldn't stand Li Huaiyun's evaluation of her, and she felt a little conflicted about this title.
Li Huaiyun continued to walk up, he was already a little collapsed.
"You two are stronger, go and help!"
Li Huaiyun said to Mu Yuan, "Help me pull the rope net!"
Mu Yuan raised one hand and pointed the crossbow there. As long as there was a monster approaching, she could easily deal with it. She grabbed the rope net with her other hand to help Li Huaiyun's dizzy thing move up.
Li Huaiyun's body was already covered with traces of wounds. Others didn't know what to do. He felt that he was very tired, so he sat on the ground for a while.
After finally climbing up dozens of stairs, we finally ran out of time.
They reached one of the platforms on the first floor and continued running up.
Li Huaiyun dragged the rope net and carried it on his shoulders. Although the monster looked lean, it was very heavy.
A large number of monsters climbed up to the place closest to his steps and rock wall, with green mucus hanging from their mouths, and they desperately pounced on the three of them.
Guangmu Yuan and Narcissus were completely unable to resist this zombie-like attack.
Although there were several demon hunters on the steps, the help they provided was quite limited, and several fire talismans were even eaten by monsters.
"Hurry down and help!" Li Huaiyun shouted, "Pull this monster down!"
The monster hunters immediately carefully came down the steps. These steps were relatively dangerous for anyone. If they fell down accidentally, they would be turned into monsters and eaten.
Several monster catchers came down and helped Li Huaiyun lift the monsters in the rope net.
"Be careful! Don't get bitten!" As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yuan was accidentally caught by the monster on the rock wall and rolled down the steps.
When other people saw this, their faces looked horrified, and some even wanted to go and save people.
"Mu Yuan!" Li Huaiyun squatted down eagerly and wanted to reach out to catch Mu Yuan, but he could not catch Mu Yuan.
Li Huaiyun clenched his fists and stood on the steps, as if he didn't care about life and death, "You guys go up first, I want to go down and save you!"
Narcissus shouted in panic, "Master, stop joking. If this continues, is it tantamount to seeking death?"
"Stop talking nonsense. I promised the emperor and Sikyong to take good care of Mu Yuan. Something happened to her now. How can I sit back and ignore it! How can I explain to them if I go up unscathed?"
"But..., there are so many monsters down here, how can you die!"
"Hurry up! Protect the others, they can't die!" After saying that, Li Huaiyun jumped down the steps directly. He was stimulating the true energy, letting the true energy flow throughout the body, and stimulating the hard qigong.
His whole body was covered with a layer of golden aura. As soon as he landed, he flew directly to the bottom. He blocked the imps coming from both sides.
Mu Yuan was lying on the ground, motionless, seemingly in a coma.
Li Huaiyun ran forward and dispersed the monsters surrounding them. Then many monsters surrounded them in circles. They pounced on Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan.
Li Huaiyun raised his hand and punched forward violently. The punch passed through the bodies of those monsters and directly shattered the rocks on the rock wall.
He carried Mu Yuan behind his back and leaned against the rock wall where the talisman was, so that he didn't have to worry about asking for the price.
More and more monsters gathered around, staring at the two living humans in front of them with their greedy eyes.
Li Huaiyun was also very surprised as to why these monsters seemed to be devouring human flesh, but there were very few signs of eating on the flesh of the corpses and stones in the ditch.
Only the sections of those muscles were bitten and eaten. Could this mean that these monsters would devour a certain part of the body.
Each joint, head, body part, and the front end of the bones are bitten into pieces. They are actually sucking the bone marrow.
Thinking of this scene, Li Huaiyun felt quite uncomfortable!
Li Huaiyun finally figured out why the corpses in these ditches were in this state.
