Chapter 5646: Illusion 5
One after another, they climbed into the bottomless pit's entrance. Following the rope woven from yellow vines, everyone cautiously descended, with little communication along the way.
It wasn't until they reached the bottom of the pit and felt solid ground beneath their feet that everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. They looked closely and saw a dark, dirt-filled tunnel ahead, so black they couldn't see their hands in front of their faces.
There was a faint light nearby. Madam Mo held a large night-glowing pearl in her palm, pacing back and forth at the tunnel's entrance.
"Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump." Feng Changqing and a few others took out hammers from their inner realms and were vigorously striking the nearby cave wall.
The pot-bellied man jumped in fright, quickly exclaiming in horror, "Hey, hey, don't, don't, don't hit it! Don't hit it!"
"If the entire cave collapses, that would be a huge disaster."
"This is a restricted flying zone, filled with gravity restraints. I think we shouldn't be too reckless."
"Right, right, this brother is right. Young Master Mo, Madam Mo, I think we should just go forward along this dirt tunnel and see what's there."
"Yeah, maybe if we just keep going forward, we can get out."
"Dream on," Qiao Mu retorted, turning her head to look at their surroundings. "Keep hitting."
"Thump, thump, thump." Feng Changqing and his group, obeying Madam Qiaoqiao's command, hammered the nearby cave wall even harder.
"Wait, wait a minute. Do you hear anything?"
Qiao Mu's face was expressionless. She glanced at the dark, gloomy cave wall opposite and quietly put on an eggshell-shaped defensive shield.
"Get ready!"
Duan Yue's mouth twitched, and he quickly activated his own defensive shield, covering both himself and Mo Bao. Given Qiaoqiao's usual tendencies, something terrible was probably about to happen! Mo Lian, Rotten Peach Blossom, and the little tsundere, already familiar with Qiaoqiao's mischievous ways, also quietly activated their defensive shields.
In that split second, after a deafening boom. The cave wall, which Feng Changqing and his group had been fiercely hammering, was now breached by a surging current of water. The torrential flood rushed towards the crowd, instantly submerging everyone.
The deadpan Qiao, enveloped in a transparent eggshell-shaped defensive shield, floated and sank with the current, rushing towards the tunnel. Her eggshell was truly amazing! It propelled her incredibly fast, quickly leaving everyone else far behind.
Everyone watched as she drifted with the surging water and then whoosh, she was gone. The eggshell tumbled and tossed with the water. The little deadpan, inside the eggshell, was also tossed and turned, her lips pressed into a serious straight line, and a slightly bewildered expression on her small face.
"Land Whale!!" she shouted with all her might.
Everyone only heard a muffled roar in their ears, and soon felt their entire bodies being lifted up as if by a small hill. The Land Whale was enormous, and it immediately lifted the unlucky group who were drifting with the current. It scuttled its short legs, rapidly chasing after Qiao Mu.
However, Madam Qiaoqiao's eggshell was truly marvelous. The moment she entered the water, it performed exceptionally well, moving incredibly fast, beyond her own control. So, the Land Whale chased her for a long time behind her, finally letting out two cries of "Awoo!"
What's the point of chasing? Once the little master entered the water, she was like a fish in water. Chasing was useless because it was impossible to catch up!
Madam Qiaoqiao was carried forward by the current with an expressionless face. Suddenly, a shimmering waterfall appeared before her eyes. Her small mouth opened into an "O" shape once more.
Oh no, again...
