Stepping into the Ancient Ruins

Xu Mu sensed that there were two men in black robes approaching from the back of the hillside more than a hundred meters away.

Perhaps they faintly sensed the outburst of Gang Qi here.

Urged by Xu Mu, Dai Xingluo and Chen Xuan also jumped down one after another.

They all released their Gang Qi to block the surrounding river water.

When Xu Mu, the last one to enter, showed a faint smile. This Chen Xuan, worthy of being the protagonist, could expand the range of his Gang Qi so widely. You know, while others carried schoolbags, he carried a large woven bag. But even so, his Gang Qi still firmly enveloped the woven bag.

It was only about ten seconds after Xu Mu entered the water that the two men in black robes appeared on the high - ground of the distant hillside.

They walked along the cave in the stone crevice. After walking about ten meters, the originally narrow passage that could only allow one person through became spacious.

Xu Mu looked around. The current space was similar to a tunnel on a road.

There was shallow river water under their feet, reaching below their knees.

"Be careful. There are blades in the river. Remember to protect your legs with Gang Qi every time you move forward," Miao He reminded. "I was injured in the leg by the blades hidden in the water when I passed through here yesterday, so I had to retreat."

She was a cautious person. A leg injury was a big deal.

It would affect one's movement, and when in danger, one wouldn't even be able to escape.

If it weren't for the leg injury, she was confident that she could have left alone when she met Zhou Xing yesterday.

Hearing this, everyone around became extremely cautious.

Xu Mu looked at the dark cave. He didn't know how long the passage was. "I'll lead the way in front. You all follow behind me."

He took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and led the way in front.

He continuously used his Gang Qi to protect his legs and quickened his pace towards the depths.

Crack!

Suddenly, Xu Mu felt that he stepped on something sharp under his feet. Fortunately, he had the protection of Gang Qi.

Otherwise... his shoes might have been torn.

He was quite confident in his own defense.

"Be careful. There's something here," Xu Mu warned.

The people behind all nodded.

After walking about a few hundred meters, the water under their feet became shallower and shallower, and they didn't encounter any blades or the like anymore.

However, Xu Mu still didn't let down his guard.

Suddenly, after turning a corner, there was a glimmer of light in the distance.

Seeing this, Miao He excitedly prepared to run over. "We've reached the exit."

But Xu Mu reached out and grabbed her schoolbag, pulling her back to his side. "Don't break the formation."

Miao He pouted slightly and then followed behind Xu Mu again.

"Always be careful. Especially when victory seems within reach, you might suddenly be gone..."

Whoosh!

Just as Xu Mu finished speaking, he suddenly stepped into thin air and sank into the water.

But when the water just reached his chest, he flew out from below.

He performed the Cloud Step, taking one step, two steps, three steps.

It was as if there were invisible steps in the air. He was so elegant and agile, like an immortal descending to the mortal world.

Finally, Xu Mu landed back at his previous position.

"Damn it! Brother Mu, you can fly?" Chen Xuan was completely stunned. "This... even those at the Grandmaster Realm can't do this!"

Miao He gasped. If it weren't for Xu Mu, she might have fallen in just now.

In the narrow underground cave, there was no buoyancy. If a person fell in, they would directly smash to the bottom.

It was needless to say that there must be deadly traps down there.

[Favorability +30]

"Xu Mu, thank you..."

Miao He was full of gratitude. Xu Mu had just saved her life.

[Favorability +10]

"Brother! You're so cool! What kind of martial art is this?"

Dai Xingluo's eyes were filled with admiration.

[Favorability +10]

Meng Wanyue's heart was also in turmoil. Since Xu Mu gave her the martial art technique, she knew he was a master.

She just didn't expect him to be this powerful.

But then again, the fact that Xu Mu could produce such a powerful Qi Sea Pill and an Earth - grade martial art technique for her was enough to show his talent and strength.

"Keep it low - key. It's just basic stuff."

Xu Mu looked at the others calmly.

If nothing unexpected happened, there were many traps on the way to the exit ahead.

He looked at the distant light, thought for a moment, and continued, "Anyway, it's not far. I'll just take you there directly."

As he spoke, he first grabbed Chen Xuan's shoulder. "Old Chen, let's go."

Whoosh!

Xu Mu activated his Cloud Steps and flew towards the distance.

In the past, he could only take two or three steps, but now at his current realm, he could take a full twenty steps.

Currently, it was a breeze for him to cover ten meters in one step. Twenty steps meant a distance of two hundred meters, which was enough to reach the other side.

He stepped on the air and quickly skimmed over the water. When he reached the cave entrance, there was no more water.

It was a stretch of land instead.

Xu Mu flew back and landed in front of the other three.

"Let's go!"

Xu Mu grabbed Dai Xingluo's shoulder.

"Brother, you're hurting me."

Dai Xingluo gently slapped Xu Mu's hand, asking him to let go of her shoulder.

She walked behind Xu Mu and jumped directly onto his back, smiling sweetly. "Carry me over."

Xu Mu's body trembled violently. He didn't feel Dai Xingluo's weight.

He only felt two soft and bouncy things hitting his back.

Xu Mu took a deep breath and used the Cloud Steps again to fly to the other side.

After flying back, he grabbed Meng Wanyue's arm.

Noticing Meng Wanyue's expression, he directly picked her up in a princess - carry.

Meng Wanyue let out a surprised scream, and her cheeks turned red at a visible speed.

She quickly closed her eyes and buried her face in Xu Mu's arm.

[Favorability +20]

After Xu Mu landed on the other side, he put Meng Wanyue down with a smile.

"Brother must be so carefree all the time. If I were to complain, I'd seem petty."

Dai Xingluo said in a sarcastic tone.

After putting Meng Wanyue down, Xu Mu immediately turned around and left, not wanting to hear any more.

Meng Wanyue folded her arms, a slight smile on her lips. Even she didn't know why she felt so good.

"What the hell are you smiling at!"

When Dai Xingluo saw Xu Mu leave, her eyes turned cold.

"I'll smile as I please!" Meng Wanyue didn't back down at all.

Clang!

The sound of a sword being unsheathed rang out, and Dai Xingluo instantly slashed at Meng Wanyue.

Meng Wanyue was well - prepared and blocked the sword blade with the dagger in her hand.

Boom!

Both of them released their Qi, and the ground beneath their feet sank.

"Damn it!"

Chen Xuan was so scared that he jumped up and quickly moved away from them.

He was secretly shocked. Women were really terrifying.

Thank goodness he had the foresight to only have one senior sister.

Just then, Xu Mu had grabbed Miao He's shoulder and arrived.

"What are you doing? Stop!"

Xu Mu put Miao He down and shouted at the two of them.

"Brother! Look at her!"

Dai Xingluo sheathed her sword and walked up to Xu Mu, looking wronged.

"I saw it just now. You were the one who struck first."

Xu Mu tapped Dai Xingluo on the head and then continued, "Come on, it's full of perils here. We need to help each other."

He was the first to head towards the exit in front of him.

After they got outside, Xu Mu couldn't help but squint his eyes. Was this the ancient relic?

"Brother, look at what that is!"

Dai Xingluo followed out first and pointed into the distance.
