Chapter 44 A Simple Three-Bedroom Apartment
The tunnel was extremely dark, with withered vines climbing all over the walls. There were also some openings, but it was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen.
The light mage in the group released a radiant light, illuminating the path forward for everyone.
"Old Lu, do you really think there are demons in here?" Mo Fan asked.
"What do you think?" Lu Jie raised an eyebrow. If there were no demons, where did those white stone fragments on the ground come from? In fact, they were bone fragments, not stones.
"Miss Mu Nujiao, we might encounter demons next, so I'll protect you." Liao Mingxuan stroked the head of the little silver rat in his chest pocket, a smug look on his face.
Mu Nujiao didn't react, she just kept walking by herself, glancing to the sides every now and then to be on guard against any unforeseen events.
"Lu Jie, do you sense anything watching us?" Mu Nujiao asked.
"Miss Mu, don't worry. With my years of experience hunting demons, there's nothing here for now," Liao Mingxuan said with a smile. He'd finally managed to get a word in edgewise. Next…
Just then, the little silver mouse in his breast pocket stood on end and let out an alarming squeak.
Liao Mingxuan's smile froze instantly, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.
"Old Zhao, give this side a boost," Mo Fan said.
Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Manyan threw out a ball of radiant energy. The golden light flew towards Mu Nujiao's side, instantly illuminating the tunnel wall beside her and revealing the dense, crisscrossing black vines.
Through the gaps in the black vines, pairs of eerie blue eyes were embedded in the cave walls, staring at Mu Nujiao, who was closest to them, as if they wanted to devour her alive.
"Cave Demon Slave," Lu Jie said, casually summoning vines that rose from the ground and blocked the area.
No matter how much the cave demon slaves behind him pounded on the ground, the plant vines summoned by Lu Jie would not break.
"Meow!!!"
A sound like a sheep's bleating came out, but compared to the bleating of a sheep, this sound was incredibly sharp and piercing.
At the same time, sounds came from other cave entrances, and many cave demon slaves rushed out, one of which was waving a huge bone club on its arm at Zhao Mingyue, who was closest to it.
"Mingyue, be careful! This creature loves to smash living things into mincemeat!" Jingjing quickly warned.
Zhao Mingyue reacted quickly, immediately activating her magic-equipped shoes to dodge the cave demon slave's attack.
Mo Fan seized the opportunity to release the lightning seal and repel the cave demon slave.
"Old Lu, quickly seal off their exits!" Mo Fan shouted.
"I don't need your barking."
Lu Jie said irritably, but his hands didn't stop moving. He clapped his hands together, and plant-type magic energy transformed into a source of life, urging the plant vines to grow.
Before long, almost all the cave entrances were blocked, and the cave demon slaves could only swing their bone clubs and smash the vines, making sharp and piercing bleating sounds.
"Oh no, they're calling for their companions! There are many more side caves like this behind them!" Xu Dalong shouted.
"Don't worry, Lao Lu has already blocked all those side holes, what's there to be afraid of?" Mo Fan waved his hand and said.
Sure enough, Lao Lu's Wood Release is really good.
As Mo Fan said, countless vines wove into a huge net, sealing off all the side openings, and no matter what the cave demon slaves did, they could not break through.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
It was already quite late when we emerged from the tunnel.
The group could only find a place to set up camp temporarily and set off for the deserted city the next day.
At night, Lu Jie used his "Three-Bedroom, One-Living Room" technique to create several wooden houses for everyone to stay in temporarily.
Everyone in the team was amazed. If they ever went to the wilderness in the future, they would definitely take Lu Jie with them. His "three-bedroom, one-living room" technique was just too convenient.
As night fell, the boys sat around a campfire, the firelight reflecting on each of their faces.
The night seemed quiet, save for the crackling of the flames. Suddenly, Zhao Manyan broke the silence, asking, "Are you sure they're bathing in the stream?"
"Yes, they're all here..."
In an instant, a strong aura of hormones enveloped the crowd. Some swallowed hard, some licked their chapped lips, and some couldn't help but look towards the stream...
"Peng Liang, why don't you go take a look? With your shadow-type abilities, they shouldn't be able to detect you."
"This... isn't a good idea." Although he said this, Peng Liang's body language betrayed him. In an instant, he turned into a shadow and silently disappeared into the shadows of the woods.
Seeing Peng Liang leave, everyone was filled with envy, wondering why they hadn't awakened a Shadow-type ability themselves...
"Huh, why is it frozen?"
"I guess Peng Liang has been discovered, hahaha, that idiot! Our captain's Ice Domain is no joke. As long as there are magical fluctuations within a certain range, they will be detected. Peng Liang is doomed!" Xu Dalong burst into laughter.
On the other side, Mo Fan quietly sat down next to Lu Jie and warmed himself by the fire.
Lu Jie opened his eyes and said, "Aren't you disappointed that you didn't see it?"
"Hmm." Mo Fan nodded, but suddenly realized something was wrong: "Damn, Lao Lu, are you trying to trick me? You planted that forest?"
"There's nothing I can do; I was asked to do it." Lu Jie shrugged.
Ten meters from the stream, Mu Nujiao and the others asked him to create a semi-circular grove of plants there.
Before long, the girls who had been playing in the stream returned.
Watching these boys gathered around the campfire chatting about their past experiences, it was clear they were just bragging.
"Who was that just now!" Song Xia asked domineeringly, pointing directly at the group of boys.
"Who else could it be? The only one in the team with shadow-type abilities is Peng Liang!" Jingjing glared angrily at Peng Liang.
Upon hearing this, Peng Liang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, I was blocked by some plants before I even reached the stream, and then you found me. I didn't see anything."
"Peng Liang, I never expected you to be this kind of person. I feel ashamed to be your classmate," Zhao Manyan said with a dry cough and righteous indignation.
"Zhao Manyan, you..." Peng Liang now understood what it meant to be betrayed.
Just now, this group of guys all asked me to peek, but when the girls questioned them, they all pretended to be gentlemen!
"Fortunately, we had Lu Jie create a forest, and Song Xia was there to guard it, so Peng Liang only lingered nearby for a short while."
"Hmph, shameless!"
"The heart of a beast with a human face!"
"hypocrite!"
These words were like sharp blades piercing his chest; Peng Liang had no way to express his bitterness.
