Deep in the cave, a group of people were huddled in the corner of a cave hall, seemingly avoiding something. Ye Canglong, Ye Tianyi, and Ye Qishan were among them.
This group of people was none other than the Ye family's hunting team. However, seeing how they were now covered in wounds and looked disheveled and terrified, it seemed that they had encountered a lot of danger.
Suddenly, a series of strange footsteps were heard in the distance, and a broad-faced man in his forties whispered anxiously to Ye Canglong and the others, "Quick, put away all the crystal lamps!"
Ye Canglong and the others seemed to have suddenly realized something, and hurriedly put the crystal lamps in their hands into the Qiankun bag. The cave hall suddenly fell into darkness.
The rustling footsteps became louder and louder, as if they were passing the other side of the cave hall.
Ye Canglong and the others all held their breath at this moment and huddled in the corner, one next to the other, using the body temperature of their companions to fight against the fear brought by the darkness and footsteps.
The footsteps lingered at the other end of the cave hall for a while before gradually moving away into the distance, until the surroundings became dead silent. After a long while, long gasps began to be heard from the corner where everyone was hiding.
A crystal lamp was lit up, and it was the broad-faced burly man who had spoken before.
He carefully glanced towards the other side of the cave hall, and when he found that there was nothing there, the expression on his face relaxed a little.
"Uncle Ye Tu, are those ghost-faced spiders gone?"
Ye Qishan asked in a low voice to the broad-faced sturdy man, his face looked pale under the light of the crystal lamp.
Ye Tu glanced at him, nodded, and said, "He should have left.
The ghost-faced spiders themselves are not monsters that live underground. They don't have much advantage over us in the dark, so we should have been able to hide from them.
Now I don't know how Dad and the others are doing. The Ghost-faced Spider Mother is also at the Descending God Stage, and she has brought some spider guards with her. I wonder if Dad and the brothers can handle them?"
As he spoke, a look of worry appeared on Ye Tu's face.
The crystal lamp on Ye Canglong's side also lit up, and the soft light instantly enveloped the eight people around him.
However, at this moment, the light seemed unable to drive away the fear in everyone's hearts, and the faces of these eight people were more or less pale.
They were the members of the Ye family hunting team. However, there were thirty people in total when they originally came in, but now there were only eight left.
Hearing Ye Tu's words, tears unconsciously flowed down Ye Qishan's face.
"Uncle Ye Lei, Uncle Ye Chang, Xiao Tuan, Brother Dou and others... they... they all..."
His choked voice was like a steel needle, piercing everyone's heart, and the eyes of the remaining people turned red in an instant.
Tears also flowed unconsciously from Ye Tian's eyes, and the expression on his face was not only sad, but also a little angry.
"Damn it, what on earth happened here? Why did so many monsters follow us in
These monsters attacked us like crazy, and even the monsters that were incompatible with each other on normal days were able to get along together.
It is unbelievable that the Ghost-Faced Spider, a monster that lives in groups deep in the Monster Mountain Range, would appear in this cave.
If it weren't for Fourth Grandpa and his uncles holding back the Spider Mother and most of the Spider Guards, we would have all become the Ghost-Faced Spiders' meal."
After a long period of tempering, Ye Tianyi's personality has changed a lot. Compared with the past, he is less arrogant and domineering.
Ye Canglong glanced at him and said, "It's useless to say this now. God knows what's wrong with these monsters. They are simply crazy.
We are still too weak. If we come here, we will only be a burden to Fourth Grandpa and our uncles.
But no matter what, we must not give up, we must find a way to leave here."
Ye Tu nodded and said, "Cang Long is right, your goal now is to protect yourselves, I will find a way to get you out.
Even if Dad can't defeat those ghost-faced spiders, he shouldn't be in too much danger. After all, the mother ghost-faced spider is as powerful as Dad, and it should be difficult for both sides to kill each other.
I don’t know if the supporters sent by the Ye family have arrived yet. I hope the marks we left behind won’t harm them and lure them into this huge beast cage.
Well, it looks like those ghost-faced spiders have gone far away. Let’s get going quickly. We don’t know where this place is. I have lost my sense of direction after running away just now.
But the exit must be up there, if we try to run to higher ground, there must be a way out."
After giving the order, Ye Tu stood up from his hiding place.
Ye Canglong and seven weaker younger generations of the Ye family also stood up. The eight of them looked around and planned to leave through another cave not far away.
At this moment, a series of dense rustling sounds came from the direction where the footsteps just left, accompanied by a series of shrill roars.
"Damn it, the ghost-faced wandering spider is back!
Quick, run, go this way!"
Ye Tu shouted and quickly led everyone to run towards the cave entrance not far away. The footsteps from the other side were approaching here quickly, and the piercing roar made everyone feel fear.
The situation on Ye Li's side was not good either, because since the mark of half a leaf appeared, they had not found any other mark.
Relying on some traces of fighting left on the ground, they barely chose a few forks in the road, but then they completely lost their way and had no idea which direction to go. The traces left by the hunting team had completely disappeared.
"This is bad. The traces around us have completely disappeared, and there is a fork in the road ahead. Which way should we go?"
Elder Ning said anxiously.
Ye Wuji's expression was also somewhat anxious. Along the way, they saw many corpses of monsters and traces of fierce fighting. They knew that the hunting team must have encountered big trouble.
What surprised them the most was that the corpses of these monsters were not of the same species, but belonged to monsters living in different areas of the Monster Mountain Range.
"Third Grandpa, three elders, I think our discovery is a little strange."
Ye Li seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke.
Ye Wujin and the three elders were thinking about which direction to chase, so they responded casually: "Of course it's strange. Those corpses all come from different kinds of monsters, and there are so many of them. Anyone who sees them will find it strange."
Ye Li said: "Third Grandfather, maybe I am not experienced enough. The only time I saw so many different kinds of monsters gathered together and launched a crazy attack on humans was the beast tide I encountered when I left the Rune Secret Land."
