Chapter 127 A Familiar Method

Yan Hui was referring to the players' efforts, precisely the embarrassing scene of Lu Xiaoyao and the others being beaten and screaming by a group of insectoid heretics.

To survive, Lu Xiaoyao was truly giving it her all!

She was about to throw up from fighting these insectoids. Before she could even absorb spirit stones after exhausting her spiritual power, a string of large bugs were following behind her, making her dodging movements far from perfect.

Plus, the terrain here wasn't flat, so Lu Xiaoyao, running and dodging on the ground, easily fell. Relying on her agile (qiang) and desperate (qiu sheng yu) skills, she rolled around even when she fell to avoid every attack.

Thus, Lu Xiaoyao vividly demonstrated to Yan Hui and the others what it meant to crawl all over the ground in a pathetic state _(：3」∠)_

Ming Yi watched in extreme silence.

"Hey, hey, can someone, anyone, get rid of these things for a moment! I just need to absorb some spirit stones!"

Lu Xiaoyao shouted twice towards the top of the cave, then rolled around on the ground again.

They had tracked the heretics to a giant underground cave outside the city, and the environment inside was very complex.

Even though Zhu Li'an had made some arrangements in advance, luring and killing a bunch of heretics before entering, they hadn't expected a pile of them to be hiding inside.

Compared to these, the ones they killed earlier were like cannon fodder.

And these heretics fighting with them were the real problem.

"I tried attracting them, but they won't come! They have brains, unlike the brainless ones!" A player shouted to remind Lu Xiaoyao, "They understand human language! If you shout, they know you can't hold on and will chase you even harder!"

Lu Xiaoyao: 0.0!!

She actually forgot that although the heretics here looked like insectoids, they weren't like low-level insectoids, who only had brute force and no intelligence!

The heretics here actually had intelligence!

"Hey, hey, why didn't you say so earlier!!!"

Lu Xiaoyao didn't even have time to catch her breath before hurriedly continuing to dodge the attacks behind her, the phrase "wanting to cry but having no tears" perfectly described her!

"Lu Xiaoyao!"

Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao really couldn't hold on, Zhu Li'an rushed over to rescue her. A stream of light flashed as he grabbed her and placed her on his flying sword, instantly lifting her up. Lu Xiaoyao only heard a harsh tearing sound from her robes.

"My clothes!"

Lu Xiaoyao subconsciously reached out to touch them, and realized that her back had been torn by the heretics just now.

"What about the promised defense?!" Lu Xiaoyao widened her eyes in disbelief, touching her torn clothes. "Didn't you say it could withstand attacks from many Foundation Establishment cultivators?!"

Lu Xiaoyao suddenly wanted to make a complaint call.

This was cheating consumers!

"The defensive runes engraved on your robes… should be for defensive spells," Zhu Li'an immediately understood what Lu Xiaoyao was talking about. "Simply put, your clothes have high magic defense, but poor physical resistance."

Lu Xiaoyao: ???

Was that how it worked?

There were two types of defense?

Before Lu Xiaoyao could think more, Zhu Li'an turned around and started fighting again. Lu Xiaoyao quickly used elixirs and spirit stones to recover behind him, and rejoined the next round of battle.

But after fighting for a while, some players seemed to notice something was wrong.

"Why are these things endless?"

Zhen Po was flying at the top of the cave, using his professional expertise to re-examine the entire area.

Just like Zhu Li'an and the others had checked, it was just this big, with no extra space. But the number of heretics that appeared was far more than that.

"There's no other space here, right?"

Some players wondered if there were other places in the cave. After fighting with formations and runes for several rounds, the place had been blown up a size bigger, but it was clear that there didn't seem to be any larger space connected to this one that could hold these heretics!

"There!"

This time, it was Lu Xiaoyao, who had "crawled" around on the cave floor several times due to exhausting her spiritual power, who noticed something different.

"There's a teleportation array on the ground!" Lu Xiaoyao remembered a place she had inadvertently passed by on the ground that had a very beautiful pattern and seemed to have some inscriptions engraved on it.

"So, this isn't actually the lair of those things. They came here through the teleportation array and then became active?"

They had too little time cultivating, and their thinking was a little slow, forgetting that there was such a thing as a teleportation array like a wormhole.

Ew!

Everyone's expression turned a little ugly at once.

"How about we destroy the teleportation array first?" Someone suggested, unable to bear the endless stream of insectoid heretics.

"No, the other end of the teleportation array might be the real headquarters. If we destroy it, how will we get there?"

"Go there? You can't even handle the ones coming here, and you want to go there? Are you looking for death?"

Some players were already regretting that they hadn't prepared enough.

They originally thought this was just a small outpost, but it seemed that this small outpost could connect to another place they didn't even know about and continuously send a pile of heretics here.

Too scary, right?

"Destroy it first. At worst… we'll find someone who studies formations to understand it later," Zhu Li'an decided decisively. If the players were lost before they could figure out the situation here, it would be a greater loss than the gains.

…

Bu Tian Sect.

The next day, at the same time, Mei Jiu and Mingmei arrived at the Scripture Pavilion again. Unexpectedly, this time Mingmei spoke first: "Yesterday… the story you told was very interesting. You must reveal the mystery today."

As Mingmei spoke, she curved her eyebrows and looked at the other person, as if she really remembered what happened yesterday.

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course."

After that, the atmosphere between the three was very beautiful and warm, a scene that made Xie Chen jump up and down in Mu Chen's sea of consciousness.

"How is this possible? How does she still remember?!"

Xie Chen couldn't understand it, and was both angry and jealous. He looked at everything outside through Mu Chen's vision, and then suddenly erupted, wanting to break the agreement and replace the other party.

Fortunately, Mu Chen was prepared. While speaking, the hand hidden under his sleeve suddenly smashed a corner of the stone table they were sitting at into powder.

No one noticed the movement, but Mingmei was feeling very happy inside.

After thinking about it for so long, Mingmei had finally found a convenient method.

She listened to the story, shifting her gaze to Mei Jiu. She still needed Mei Jiu's cooperation for these things.

She had heard from Guigui that she had tried writing notes the night before, and then using the notes to remind herself the next day.

But in fact, she couldn't find the notes the next day. If Mingmei wanted to use something to remind herself of what happened the day before yesterday, it was useless.

But Mei Jiu's reminders were very useful.

Just like in the original world where Mei Jiu was called the Heavenly Dao's favorite daughter, the game's settings were also applicable.

What Mei Jiu wanted to remind her of, she wouldn't forget, and the Heavenly Dao wouldn't do anything to her. As soon as she reminded her, even if Mingmei couldn't remember Mu Chen, she could recall some vague things related to him.

Plus, with Guigui helping from the side, she could now stabilize herself.

Mingmei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that things were developing in a good direction, but Mingmei vaguely felt that something bad was about to happen.
