Chapter 386
“One step … just one more step …”
It called out strongly in its heart.
The little guy in front, just one more step, and he would be fully embraced.
Seeing that his right foot had lifted, about to land …
But at this moment, the foot quickly retracted.
The previously enchanted Lu Sheng now had clear eyes, his face free of confusion.
“I tricked you, and you really fell for it …” Lu Sheng calmly made a middle finger gesture towards the darkness, the direction of the fluctuation.
“Idiot.” After that, he turned and left without a second word. His speed was astonishing, disappearing in a breath.
The deep consciousness of the abyss was stunned.
The beasts with open maws were also stunned.
After a brief silence, an extremely violent consciousness roared on the fortieth floor of the abyss.
“Catch him! Damn it, don’t let him escape!”
Rumble—
Countless beasts went wild, roaring and running upwards …
…
“It is indeed Lu Moying; his identification tag is still here …” Zhan Hongyu carefully picked out a bloody silver iron tag necklace from a pile of mangled flesh.
After a bit of identification, she spoke.
The rest of the Tiger Scorpion team rummaged through the dead evil Masters’ bodies, occasionally exclaiming softly.
“This is a Master of Transcendent martial arts hall!”
“Thunder Martial Arts Hall Hong… My goodness, the head of the Thunder Martial Arts Hall was here!”
“Collect the identification evidence and report to the military region when we return …”
Zhan Hongyu glanced at the corpses, her expression complex as she said, “Nearly thirty martial Masters died at once; this is probably the bloodiest Master incident in recent years …”
“They were already ‘dead’ people, they simply died again …”
The bald man stood up indifferently and said, “And none of these were good people, many of our Star Generals likely died at their hands too.”
“Yes.” Zhan Hongyu and the others nodded.
At this moment, with a swoosh, a figure suddenly appeared before them.
“Sir!” Seeing the newcomer, the four members of the Tiger Scorpion team immediately saluted respectfully, their attitude far more reverent than before.
Lu Sheng, with a calm expression, quickly said, “Clean up quickly, we must leave the abyss immediately … Also, Zhan Hongyu, find a way to notify other Star teams in the abyss to run …”
Zhan Hongyu was stunned and instinctively asked, “Sir, what happened?”
Lu Sheng glanced back and said indifferently, “Nothing, just that the beasts below the thirtieth floor … have gone berserk.”
“!!!”
***
The four members of the Tiger Scorpion squad shuddered and looked shocked.
This was no joke!
Lu Sheng naturally wouldn’t deceive them, so they immediately started packing quickly.
Actually, there wasn’t much to pack, just putting back the bags filled with Mithril they had previously set down.
Zhan Hongyu quickly pressed two buttons on her communication wristwatch.
“I’ve already sent the message back to the military region. Once verified, they will naturally notify all the teams in the underground cavern, no need for us to worry …”
Lu Sheng nodded slightly, using his spiritual power to lift the remaining Mithril blocks off the ground, and said, “Let’s hurry up and leave.”
“Yes.”
The four members of the Tiger Scorpion squad grabbed their things and ran back the way they came.
Lu Sheng was the fastest but deliberately stayed at the back of the team.
His spiritual power radiated around, observing the movements of the beasts in the underground cavern.
He realized his worries were a bit excessive.
At this moment, the beasts in every layer of the cavern were starting to go berserk. Those undergoing trials in the cavern had already noticed something was wrong and were retreating upward.
Lu Sheng’s spiritual power had a wide range.
From his perspective, he could see countless beasts from all directions charging towards their small squad.
However, the beasts above the thirtieth level weren’t very high in rank.
Although they looked numerous and dense, which was quite daunting, Lu Sheng felt no disturbance in his heart.
“That guy must be furious. Once I safely escape the cavern, I’ll have to infuriate him again …”
Through this exploration, Lu Sheng also confirmed something.
The mysterious consciousness deep in the cavern was the culprit that lured those cavern grandmasters onto the evil path and had the ability to control the beasts.
He wondered if the higher-ups of the world of martial arts, which had been around for three hundred years, were aware of this.
“I guess it is the real powerhouse behind the beasts. I don’t know whether its will is transmitted from deep within the cavern or through the abyss.”
If it’s the latter, then its power exceeds my imagination …
The ability to brainwash and control so many Martial Masters and Grandmasters, even top-level ones like Lu Moying, solely through its will was already incredibly unimaginable.
If it did so from across two worlds, it would be even more absurd.
“Level 11? Or an existence above Level 11?”
Lu Sheng didn’t know. He planned to look up related information in the dream space as soon as he returned, believing he would find some answers.
“Sir!”
The four members of the Tiger Scorpion squad took out cold weapons and swept forward, knocking away the beasts blocking their path.
Zhan Hongyu bit her lip and glanced back at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng moved, going from the back of the team to the front. His immense spiritual power suddenly spread out.
Boom!
An invisible storm swept through the air. Where Lu Sheng’s gaze landed, beasts were flung away, exploded, and died …
A clear path leading out was immediately cleared.
“Don’t worry about anything, just follow me …”
Lu Sheng said indifferently and stepped forward.
“Yes.”
The Tiger Scorpion squad had long been utterly convinced of Lu Sheng’s strength. Whatever Lu Sheng said, they naturally followed.
One by one, they said no more, focused on keeping up with Lu Sheng and charged ahead.
Just as Lu Sheng had anticipated.
The so-called underground cavern riot looked scary but became easier the higher they went.
The powerful beasts below the thirtieth level, generally of the seventh or eighth level, were actually slowed down by the congestion of beasts in the upper levels, making them constantly trail behind Lu Sheng and his team.
When Lu Sheng led the Tiger Scorpion squad out of the cavern crevice, the beasts below the thirtieth level hadn’t even caught up.
Buzz—
The inexplicable consciousness wave transmitted through the black fog to the top layer of the cavern was already very weak.
But Lu Sheng could still sense its anger and frustration.
“Being played by a bug, I’d be angry too …”
Lu Sheng stood at the edge of the cavern crevice, his right hand grasping the air, as if holding the entire cavern crevice in his hand.
“When that bug that tricked you once appears before you and suddenly gives you a hard uppercut, you’ll be even angrier …”
