Chapter 1283 Natural Cave

"OK."

Xingyao waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stop and rest in the open area ahead.

After a long journey, everyone was already exhausted. When they heard this order, they all breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to sit down. Some leaned against the rocks, and some slumped directly on the ground.

Everyone soon started chatting, and the topic naturally focused on the robbers who had just suddenly appeared.

Everyone was talking about the identities of the robbers, and everyone had doubts and worries on their faces.

Xingyao slowly walked towards Li Taihang and Lin Yue.

He came to a big rock next to the two of them, sat on it, looked at them, and asked: "Mr. Li, Miss Lin, who do you think those bandits are? Why are they here?"

Lin Yue shook his head gently and stretched out his hand to sweep the hair from his eyes, "I don't know either. Those robbers appeared too suddenly, and they seemed to have bad intentions."

In fact, she was also full of confusion.

Xingyao turned his attention to Li Taihang again, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Li Taixing leaned against the rock, folded his arms, pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "These bandits are well-trained and are by no means ordinary bandits."

"Their actions were uniform and their attacks were coordinated. They should be disguised. Otherwise, this group of bandits would be too scary."

"Ordinary bandits don't have such discipline and fighting qualities."

"But if he is really a robber, he must be very famous."

"If not, it could be fake."

"Pretended?" Xingyao frowned, doubts rising in his heart.

Apart from him who knows this place, who else in this area would do such a thing?

His eyes narrowed slightly, and various possible characters quickly flashed through his mind.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of someone, and his eyes instantly became serious.

"Could it be someone he sent?" Xingyao's voice was low, as if he was talking to himself or to Li Taihang and Lin Yue.

"who is he?"

Li Taihang and Lin Yue asked in unison, their eyes fixed on Xingyao, waiting for his answer.

"To the west of Xing'an City, there is a city called Wanlong City." Xingyao's expression became very serious, with a hint of fear in his eyes, "The lord of Wanlong City is called Wan Bo. , and, with the background of the temple, he is a terrible guy.”

"Then does he have any conflict with you?" Lin Yue asked curiously, her eyes shining with curiosity.

Xingyao nodded slowly, "Wanlong City is trying to take over our Xing'an City and make me recognize Wanlong City as the master, but I don't agree."

"Although our city, Xing'an, is not big, we still have our own dignity and independent will. How can we easily succumb to others?"

His voice was firm and full of unyielding will.

"Well, then why do they want to take over Xing'an City?" Li Taixing asked doubtfully.

"It seems to have something to do with the Xingman Ruins. However, now that the Xingman Ruins have been cracked by you, I believe they will not take advantage of my Xing'an City."

Xingyao sighed, as if he had put down a big stone in his heart, but added with some worry, "But you have to be careful. If they get the news, they will definitely focus on you."

"That Wan Bo is not a good guy. He often does whatever it takes to achieve his goals."

"Okay, let's keep walking." Lin Yue stood up. She moved her body and felt that she had recovered.

"Okay." Xingyao saw this and responded, then stood up and informed everyone to prepare to leave.

After everyone heard the order, they packed up their equipment, picked up their bags, and started to assemble.

When everyone was ready, they set off on their journey again.

But as they deepened, an uneasy atmosphere began to spread among the team.

Those keen adventurers felt that something seemed to be watching them in the dark.

Suddenly, someone whispered: "Could it be those robbers? They appeared again?"

Everyone looked around, but found nothing.

However, the feeling of being stared at just didn't go away.

"It's a formation." Lin Yue knew that there was a self-triggering formation here. After they entered, they were sensed by the formation.

At the same time, deep in the cave.

"Damn it, how did they come so fast?" The leader cursed in a low voice, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.

"Feng, Yun, you bring people to stop them. You must not let them come."

The leader made a decision quickly. He knew that if those people were allowed to follow, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Yes." Feng and Yun responded in unison. They were both capable generals under the leader, and they stood up without hesitation at this moment.

"Follow us." Feng and Yun quickly called their men and hurriedly ran in the direction where the bandits appeared, preparing to intercept Li Taihang and the others.

They soon came to an entrance. The terrain here was difficult and it was an excellent interception location.

"If they come, intercept them here."

Feng stood at the entrance, carefully observing the surrounding terrain, and said to the men behind him.

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison, and then quickly dispersed, looking for a suitable ambush location.

Fortunately, this cave is quite large, intricate and even has many hidden places.

They soon found an ideal hiding place, and after carefully hiding, they waited for Li Taihang and his group to arrive.

At this time, Li Taihang and his group had just broken the perception array and did not know that there was an ambush ahead.

But they also walked forward carefully along the passage of the cave, because they also knew that they had been exposed.

In this way, they finally came to an area with complex terrain without any danger along the way.

Everyone looked up and saw some strange rocks all around. These rocks were staggered, some like huge mushrooms, and some like inverted spires, forming an underground stone forest.

"Wow, this cave is so big." An adventurer couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of surprise.

"It can no longer be called a cave, but a natural cave." Another adventurer echoed, he stretched out his hand, touched a rock beside him, and felt a cold touch.

"That's right." Everyone nodded. They had seen along the way that this was not an ordinary cave, but a masterpiece left by the magic of nature.

They looked at these strange rocks curiously, attracted by the wonders in front of them, but no one noticed the danger hidden in them.

On the top of the rocks not far away, Feng and Yun were quietly watching their every move.

"They are coming, open the mechanism here to deal with them first, and we will take action later!"

Yun lowered his voice and said to Feng, his eyes were fixed on Li Taihang and others below, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Okay, but let the brothers hide a little, don't expose us, otherwise we will be unlucky."

Feng replied softly, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

"Don't worry, all our brothers are hiding in high places." Yun said confidently, he gestured to his men behind him, indicating that they were ready.

"Okay." Feng nodded, and then took out a crystal stone from his arms.

This crystal stone emits a faint light and looks very mysterious.

Feng gently crushed the crystal stone, and as the crystal stone broke, a faint light flashed and disappeared.

This change caused the formation hidden here to lose its energy supply instantly.

A seal that was originally hidden in the corner began to crack as if it had lost its support, and then it broke with a "bang".

In an instant, the monster hidden inside, as if it had broken free from its shackles, surged down from above.

At this time, Li Taihang and his team had already entered the stone forest and were curiously observing the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the front. The sound was like countless claws crawling on the rocks, and it was like a low roar, echoing in the silent cave, making people creepy.

"What sound?" An adventurer asked nervously, his body trembling slightly, holding his weapon tightly in his hand.

"It seems to be... Is there a monster?" Another adventurer guessed, his eyes full of fear, and he looked carefully in the direction where the sound came from.

Just when everyone was confused, a lot of figures suddenly emerged in front.

When they saw those figures, everyone took a breath of cold air.

"It's army ants." Someone shouted in fear.

These army ants were as big as dogs. Their bodies were dark and shone with a metallic luster under the weak light.

Their jaws kept opening and closing, making a terrifying "clicking" sound.

These omnivorous guys would devour all living things they encountered along the way. They were a terrifying existence in the underground cave.

"Everyone be careful!" Xingyao shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the cave.

"Yes."

Xingyao's guards responded quickly. They tightly protected Xingyao in the middle, forming a tight defense circle, and then began to slowly retreat.

Li Taihang, Lin Yue and the adventurers were in front of them.

They knew that they had to stop these army ants at this moment, otherwise everyone would be in danger.

"Stop them, don't let them rush over, and don't let them surround us." Lin Yue exclaimed, her face turned pale.

She was very clear about the horror of army ants.

I have heard many horror stories about army ants. Where army ants swept through, only a pile of bones was left.

"Retreat over there, we will attack them from a high position." Li Taihang suddenly found that there was a high ground at the entrance where they came from, which could be used to intercept these army ants.

"Okay." Everyone answered in unison, and then hurriedly retreated back the way they came.

The army ants seemed to have noticed the intention of their prey. They sped up, and countless army ants rushed towards them like a black tide.

The sound of the dense ant colony echoed in the cave like thunder, making everyone's ears buzz.
