Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 47 The Mystery in the Demon Cave

It was only then that Gong Lili discovered that the end of the golden net that Wu Su had thrown out before was actually connected to a strand of golden thread as thin as silk, and one end of the golden thread was tied in Wu Su's hand.
No wonder Wu Su was so able to advance and retreat so freely just now. It turns out everything is under his control! Senior Brother Wu Su is truly gifted! With such a high level of cultivation at such a young age, it's no wonder he's been the head of the Shamo Clan for five hundred years! He truly is something not to be underestimated!
At this moment, Gong Lili didn't know whether she should be happy or depressed about this realization. She was happy because it seemed that she probably didn't need to take any action on this adventure and could just watch the fun. But she was depressed because if she traveled back in time, how would she deal with this senior brother who was as powerful as a monster when he was young?
The so-called entanglement refers to the feeling in Pinglili's heart now, right?
But at this moment, another accident happened!
The monster in the darkness suddenly gave up resisting and struggling. It seemed to realize that it was tied up, and it fled desperately towards the depths of the "Demon Cave"!
Wu Su had no time to loosen the golden thread in his hand, and so, along with Ying Lili, who was being led by Wu Su, they were dragged into the dark abyss by the monster in the darkness...
The two were dragged by the monster in the dark into the dark abyss. They didn't know how far they had run. The further they went in, the more they felt an awe-inspiring and inviolable spiritual pressure enveloping the surroundings. Ping Lili could feel that Wu Su's breathing began to become rapid and heavy. She pursed her lips and smiled. Although he always pretended to be so mature in front of her, in fact, deep down, he was just an adventurous boy of eighteen or nineteen.
At this moment, Wu Su gave Ying Lili a completely different feeling than that day. He liked to pretend to be mature, but he was calm and reliable. He silently supported Yao Ji behind the scenes. Ying Lili could not hate such a boy at all. It turned out that when you look at the same person from different standpoints, you will have different feelings.
Suddenly, a question arose in Yinglili's mind: Why Yao Ji? She had seen before that the Shamo Clan had many female disciples. There were several women who were reincarnated spirit children, including the woman with the yellow ribbon. They all seemed to be as beautiful as flowers and highly skilled in martial arts. In terms of appearance and cultivation, Yao Ji was extremely ordinary compared to them. In comparison, Wu Su himself was much more dazzling, with a refined and elegant appearance. No matter how you looked at it, he could be regarded as a young man of great talent in this world. In addition, his cultivation was extremely high and his understanding was excellent. He was also favored by the elder teachers and was being trained with great care. His future was bright. Compared to Yao Ji, who had not yet become the chief wizard of the Shamo Clan, the difference was almost like heaven and earth. In comparison, Yao Ji was a complete Cinderella. Why would the most anticipated eldest brother of the Shamo Clan fall for a woman like Yao Ji?
Thinking of this, a playful smile flashed in her eyes. She decided to play a trick on Wu Su and find out his true feelings. Although it seemed , Ping Lili had always been a person who followed her heart. She would immediately put her thoughts into action. "Brother Wu Su~" she suddenly spoke, whispering in the darkness so that only they could hear each other, "Can I ask you a question?"
Wu Su had been completely absorbed in investigating the anomalies within the dark abyss when he suddenly heard her call him "Senior Brother." He was slightly startled, wondering what tricks she was up to. He hummed, signaling her to continue, but the following words startled him so much that he nearly stumbled and fell. In the darkness, the charming voice clearly asked, "Senior Brother, why do you like me?"
At that moment, Wu Su almost thought that he had misheard, but unfortunately the person who asked the question was extremely frank, because in Gong Lili's view, she was actually asking why Wu Su liked Yao Ji, so there was nothing to be shy about, and she didn't realize how shocking these words would sound to other people.
There was silence, a long silence, so long that Qinglili even thought Wusu hadn't heard her question clearly. Just as she was about to ask again, she suddenly heard Wusu reply in a very low voice: "I don't know where the love comes from, but it is so deep."
Love that springs from nowhere, yet grows so deep? Although Wu Su's voice was so soft, almost inaudible, Gong Lili heard it clearly, her heart trembling. Could it be that Wu Su had fallen in love with Yao Ji at first sight? Tsk tsk, I hadn't expected Yao Ji to be so charming.
Just when Pinglili was losing interest and wanted to continue asking for more details, she heard Wusu exclaim, "Be careful!"
At the same time, Gong Lili felt the monster that had been pulling them in the darkness suddenly stop running. The spiritual pressure that enveloped the surrounding area began to grow increasingly violent. The darkness grew thicker and thicker, almost impenetrable. Every step forward was accompanied by a tremendous pressure. Where had this monster taken them? Or did it have other creatures or helpers?
A low roar enveloped the entire dark world. The sound seemed to come from the depths of the darkness, yet it felt as if it was echoing in my ears! The monster in the darkness seemed to be declaring its hegemony in this dark world. Perhaps it was also warning those bold and reckless humans not to act rashly!
Ying Lili only felt her heart beating violently. Could this be the monster from the legendary Jiemo Cave?
Wu Su's breathing beside him gradually became calmer. This guy is really interesting. At the critical moment, he is calmer than anyone else.
Yinglili could sense that Wusu was also gathering his spiritual energy, as if waiting for a chance to strike a fatal blow. Interestingly, even then, he hadn't forgotten to protect his junior sister. Yinglili could sense that he was constantly adjusting his form in the darkness, placing himself under his protection.
It was another blessing to have her senior brother to hold up the sky even if it fell. Ying Lili shook her head imperceptibly and laughed at herself in the darkness. If this continued, would she become like Yao Ji, unknowingly dependent on him? No, this was not a good habit for Ying Lili.
She knew she couldn't hide her strength this time. It wasn't to antagonize Wu Su, but because she sensed the growing, inviolable murderous aura in the darkness. This killing intent made her alert. She feared the monster they were facing now was more than Wu Su could handle alone! That familiar sense of oppression was like the demons they had faced before at Yonghui City! It seemed as if they were also waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow!
We can’t just sit there and wait for death, or the consequences will be disastrous! The other party is accustomed to darkness and has the advantage of time and place. If we continue to waste time with it, it will only be disadvantageous to us! A trace of determination flashed in the golden brown eyes of Yanlili. Even if her identity was exposed, no matter what, she had to take action at this moment, otherwise, she and Wu Su would probably be buried here! She suddenly pulled back her right hand, which had been held by Wu Su. At that moment, a blazing column of flames, like a fire dragon, burst out from Yanlili’s fingertips. Suddenly, the whole dark world was illuminated by the sky-high column of flames!
Suddenly, the dark world was filled with the howling of ghosts and wolves. In the blazing flames, countless dark, wolf-like monsters were instantly reduced to ashes. Could this be one of the monsters that had drawn them here? Ying Lili had long sensed that there was more than one monster that had drawn them here!
At this moment, even Wu Su, who was standing next to him, was stunned!
Blazing Flames Burning the Sky! This is the Shamo Clan's most advanced fire magic, Blazing Flames Burning the Sky!
This was a top-level spell that only the Chief Wizard and Great Elders of Shamo had the opportunity to practice! Wu Su himself had never learned it, but he had only once accidentally seen his uncle perform it.
When did Yao Ji learn this move?! How did she learn it?
And judging from the intensity of the flames just now, it was actually slightly beyond the realm of Master Chang!
"Yaoji, you..."
Just as Wu Su was about to ask, he heard another wailing sound. A tail like a giant pangolin, carrying unburned sparks, slithered back into the darkness. It wasn't over yet! The dark monster that had exuded murderous intent from the depths of darkness hadn't appeared yet! The ones he had eliminated before were just some small monsters that led the way!
For no apparent reason, Ying Lili suddenly felt this way. Spiritual energy was gathering at her fingertips again. However, what surprised her was that the monster hidden in the deepest part of the world suddenly lost its previous momentum. Woo~ Woo~ This time it turned into a low growl. Then, an indistinct voice came from the darkness, as if it came from the distant abyss of the earth. Although it was not a ghost's cry, it made people feel cold all over. "What you just used was the Shamo Clan's Fiery Sky-Burning Flame?!"
Before, Gong Lili used Yao Ji's killer move, Fiery Sky Burning, just to strike first, burn those annoying monsters to death first, and then find the mechanism to subdue the monster in the dark. However, she did not expect that the fire would burn so fiercely, even more powerful than any fire-based moves she had used before. Or maybe it was really Yao Ji's body that was useful. This move could have such an unexpected effect. However, she was not arrogant enough to think that she could scare the most powerful monster in the dark with just one move. The monster suddenly asked this question, there must be a reason, and Gong Lili happened to be a curious guy.
Relying on the fact that she had seen the world and had even faced Zhuque with ease, Ping Lili bravely replied, "Don't worry about what tricks I use. First, tell me, what are you?"
