"Let's go!"
"Advance according to the original formation!"
Dai Yueheng gestured to Ma Xiaotao and the others, and the group immediately began to change formation.
The whole process was smooth and seamless, without the slightest incoordination.
Judging from their speed and proficiency, they truly deserved the name of the main team.
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, the two strongest Soul Emperor-level offensive characters, stood at the front of the team, Yao Haoxuan and Gongyang Mo, the two fragile support characters, were in the center, and Chen Zifeng and Xixi guarded the flanks.
From the perspective of common tactics on the continent, this formation was flawless and sufficient to deal with most dangers. Xuanzi, drinking in the distance, felt that something was amiss.
He frowned, but under the influence of alcohol, he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Just as he was about to reach out to stop the six people from entering, he saw that several people had already happily entered the cave in formation.
In the end, Xuanzi lowered his hand.
He thought that even if the formation had some problems, it shouldn't be so bad that it could be destroyed by an evil Soul Master Soul King, right?
Meanwhile, on another mountain peak, Roman, observing the two teams with a soul-guided telescope, was dumbfounded.
The deep blue heartwood of the Wenlan tree slipped from his hand, rolling on the ground and gathering dust.
The man with the orange-pink ponytail hurriedly picked up the heartwood, wiped it clean, and, firmly believing in the three-second rule, continued gnawing on it.
He had come in a hurry and hadn't brought much food, so he could only eat the heartwood to stave off hunger.
"This formation is wrong!"
"Are you kidding me?"
"The cave isn't just front, back, left, and right; it's also up and down!
It's a three-dimensional structure."
"With this formation, you can't even escape in the cave!"
"If someone planted a fixed-position soul-guided cannon in the cave, no one would survive."
"So reckless."
Roman couldn't help but complain, looking at the formation maintained by the selected team members.
Just then, Roman suddenly felt his magic network receive an unknown message, so he put down the telescope, gnawing on the Wenlan tree heartwood while opening the magic network.
Seeing the sender and the message content, a gentle smile appeared on Roman's face.
"What? You seemed quite concerned about them, didn't you?"
"What's that word again? Oh, right, tsundere!"
The message Roman saw was from Huo Yuhao.
'Level 8 Gale': "How are they? Nothing happened, right?"
Roman maintained his smile, his fingers flying across the magic network screen; he was clearly a seasoned programmer.
'My Favorite Meryl': "Boss, you still care about the kids."
'Level 8 Gale': "I'm just concerned about my Butterfly."
"If something happened to her, you wouldn't need to come back."
"Alright, stop beating around the bush, how's the situation over there?"
Roman thought for a moment, organized his thoughts, and tapped his finger across the screen.
"My Favorite Meryl Sauce": "Bai E and the other reserve team encountered Amon along with Wang Yan and Ling Luochen."
"They were fighting fiercely."
"By the way, what's that kid Amon doing here?"
"As for the regular team, they went deep into the cave to deal with the Death Hand bandit group."
"Judging from their formation, I think there's a high probability something bad is going to happen!"
At this moment, Huo Yuhao, who was leading Dai Ying and Huo Zhanji in the far north to have the Water Dragon King deconstruct the coordinates of the Time Crown, wore an expression of an old man, a subway, and a cell phone.
"Gale Force 8": "Amon?"
"Isn't that brat supposed to be the Pirate King at sea?"
"Why is he in the Mingdou Mountains again?"
"Never mind him."
"If you run into him, you won't have to worry about Bai'e and the others' safety."
"That kid knows how to hold back. If he really hurts Diebao and the others, his brother Adam will naturally deal with him."
"He'll definitely give him his favorite slap."
"As for the main team..."
"Keep an eye on Dai Shounan for me. Losing an arm or a leg is fine, but don't let him die."
"My dear brother can't die here."
"I haven't even arranged for the two brothers to perform for my Jitou Si and Backstreet Girls yet.
If he dies suddenly, who will fill in for me as the main character?"
"If the scene is chaotic enough, bring Dai Shounan back to me directly."
"I'll still cherish my brother slowly."
Roman's lips twitched uncontrollably when he saw Huo Yuhao's words.
As a passionate director, he naturally knew the truth about the maid cafe and even protested against letting Meili work there.
As for the fourth base, this name alone is enough to stop children from crying at night among the passionate upper echelons.
Geheros often captures lucky individuals who have committed serious crimes and uses them as test subjects for Boss, aiming to help him find the most perfect ultimate humiliation process.
In Huo Yuhao's view, only a flawless ultimate humiliation is worthy of the three supreme beings of the Dai family!
Any flaw would be disrespectful to the three supreme beings of the Dai family! After all, they are Hogus's family!
'My Favorite Meryl': "Understood! Commander!"
"Leave it to me!"
Roman closed the magic network, picked up the soul-guided telescope again, activated the mental perspective function, and clearly saw everything inside the cave.
As for the reserve team, Roman wasn't worried about any problems.
Although Amon was a bit mischievous and liked to play pranks on him during his time at the Xilu City orphanage, he hadn't done anything particularly outrageous.
At most, he would steal his toilet paper while he was in the bathroom, pretend to be Meryl, and have an online romance with him, swindling all his dream coins.
Amon knew very well what he could and couldn't do.
This was mainly due to Adam and Huo Yuhao frequently restraining his behavior, and Huo Yuhao giving him a considerable amount of humanity when he was daydreaming about Amon.
This humanity was the true bottom line that restrained Amon's behavior.
Besides, Adam was probably here, and his younger brother and sister were here too; how could he possibly run away?
…
"Your Excellency, Envoy!"
"The group monitored by the soul-guided monitors has entered the cave."
The strongest Soul King of Douluo Continent, the Grim Reaper, was wiping a skull, a sinister smile on his face.
"Hehehe."
"They've finally come?"
"Go, prepare the corpses and the soul-guided bombs."
"I haven't used this batch of soul-guided bombs from the Holy Church yet."
"I originally intended to save them for those monocle-wearing wind baboons on the next mountain."
"Shrek's surveillance team? Worth killing! Hehehe!"
The Grim Reaper played with the skull in his hand.
He had been recruited by the Holy Spirit Cult a month ago.
A man known as a bishop within the Holy Spirit Cult proposed a strategy to recruit all evil soul masters, giving them a home.
As a well-known evil soul master, the Grim Reaper was quickly recruited and given a formal position within the Holy Church.
He was sent by the Holy Church to the Mingdou Mountains to harass the Western Army Group of the Star Luo Empire.
This was Otto's deliberate act, mainly to use the Western Army Group to wipe out this group of evil soul masters.
Almost a month has passed, and Dai Hao, that brain-dead idiot, still hasn't wiped out this group of evil soul masters.
Otto, watching the constant stream of intelligence from the Grim Reaper about the Western Army Group, even managed to plant spies within their ranks, was starting to lose his composure.
He couldn't help but wonder if the Grim Reaper was just too powerful, or if the White Tiger Duke was simply a useless piece of trash.
Otto passed the Grim Reaper's information to Amon, who, upon seeing it at sea, ordered the Sun Moon Empire's branch members to form the Gehrman Bandit Gang to devour the Death Hand Bandit Gang.
"These beasts!"
A ball of flame appeared before Ma Xiaotao, her face contorted with rage as she stared at the human skins hanging on the cave walls, and even the corpses of infants clinging to the stalagmites.
The damp, musty smell mixed with the stench of blood assaulted the nostrils of the six selected team members, causing even Dai Yueheng to frown.
"Those inhuman monsters, those evil spirit masters!"
"These babies have only just arrived in this world!"
Enraged, Ma Xiaotao's soul power surged, making the air in the cave even drier.
"Don't rush, let's go deeper."
"But this cave is too quiet."
Dai Yueheng felt a sense of unease. The entire cave was far too quiet.
They had already entered nearly two hundred meters and hadn't seen a single living person.
More and more corpses appeared along the narrow path.
"What are these evil spirit masters up to?"
"Why aren't they cleaning up the corpses?"
Chen Zifeng used his Soul-Chasing Sword to lift the front of a corpse, his eyes filled with doubt.
"These corpses don't show fear on their faces, only satisfaction."
"Like self-sacrifice."
"Self-sacrifice?"
"The evil spirit masters are playing a new trick again?"
Ma Xiaotao said disdainfully. She looked down on all evil spirit masters, these wicked and depraved creatures.
Suddenly, they arrived at a slightly wider area. All six of them simultaneously prepared themselves, because they sensed a large fluctuation of spiritual power around them.
"Hehehe."
"You've finally come."
"Enjoy the surprise I've brought you."
"Attack! Offer your lives to the great Grim Reaper and the Holy Spirit!"
"You will surely gain eternal life in the River Styx after you die!"
A large number of bandits, their faces filled with fanaticism, swarmed towards the six people in the center.
Most of them were emaciated and pale, with no trace of soul power fluctuations, clearly ordinary people.
Only a few showed signs of soul power.
Ma Xiaotao had long been unable to suppress her evil fire, her entire body ignited with flames, and the terrifying heat caused the temperature of the originally cold cave to rise sharply.
She did not notice that cracks appeared in the cold rock walls due to the sudden heat.
The sound of the cracks was drowned out by the shouts of the crowd.
Dai Yueheng's body was covered in black and white hair, his muscles bulged, and a dangerous smile appeared on his face.
He transformed into a white shadow and rushed into the crowd, beginning a one-sided slaughter.
These bandits were nothing more than ordinary people and some low-level soul masters, and they were almost instantly torn apart in front of a White Tiger Soul Emperor.
Xi Xi and Chen Zifeng also began their high-speed slaughter, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the hundreds of bandits were gone.
The Grim Reaper sat on a stone seat at the innermost part of the cave, watching the increasing number and fragmentation of corpses on the ground, a fanatical smile spreading across his face.
He had been worried that the Flame Soul Emperor would obliterate all his men, meaning the power of the corpse explosion would rely solely on the pre-arranged corpses.
Now, these guys had even thoughtfully chopped up the corpses, increasing the detonation area.
"Hehehe!"
"High God of Death!"
"Great Holy Spirit!"
"Enjoy the magnificent fireworks!"
"These filthy Shrek Supervisory Group members aren't even fit to be corpse slaves!
They should go to the River Styx to atone to you!"
"Explode!"
The Grim Reaper let out a shrill laugh, and all the corpses and fragments on the ground began to turn red at an alarming rate, then swelled!
The remaining bandits immediately retreated, surging into the various passageways.
The raging soul power caused the elements in the cramped cave to stir restlessly. Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, leading the group, wore expressions of horror; their mental energy was on high alert! Their hair stood on end, seemingly foreshadowing what was to come.
At the same time, the soul-guided bombs buried in the cave began charging, and an eerie silence fell over the area.
