Looking at the soul-eating maggots that were swarming around him like tides and waves, Ye Li's face began to become anxious, because his defense had reached its limit and he could only hold out for half an incense stick of time at most.
The rustling sounds all around continued to echo and overlap in the cave hall, and now were as loud as a torrent hitting the rocks.
Ye Li and the other four were like the last rock in a torrent, about to be submerged and swallowed by the waves.
"Ye Li, quickly use your soul-walking spell. The weakness of the Soul Devouring Maggot is that its soul is extremely weak, even weaker than some ordinary beasts!"
Just when Ye Li was about to give up, the voice of Swallowing Sun suddenly sounded. It also sensed Ye Li's crisis and broke away from its state of comprehension.
After seeing Ye Li's current situation, he immediately started to give instructions.
Ye Li did not hesitate at all when he heard this, as he had great trust in Tunri.
A stream of spiritual energy poured into the Soul-Shocking Plate on the chest at the fastest speed, and a crow's cry echoed throughout the cave hall.
Of course, only Ye Li and the Soul-Eating Maggots could hear this crow's cry, but the three elders among the other four could already vaguely sense the power of the soul, and Ye Wujin could even more clearly feel the power of the soul emanating from Ye Li.
Although the Crow's Cry emitted by the Soul Card was only yellow level, the effect was still very obvious. The power of the soul spread out in all directions like ripples, and the soul-eating maggots within a five-meter radius around the five people all stopped moving in an instant, and began to tangle and roll on the spot.
This situation stunned the other four people except Ye Li. They had never expected that the soul-eating maggots that had been attacking them so crazily just now would suddenly stop attacking.
"Third Grandpa, three elders, let's go quickly."
Ye Li looked at the four people in a daze and quickly reminded them loudly.
At the same time, he had already started to draw the Crow's Cry by himself. After all, the talisman he drew himself was much more powerful.
After being stunned for a moment, the soul-eating maggot regained its ferocity and continued to attack Ye Li and the others.
During the pause, all the soul-eating maggots five meters away rushed forward, and the entire maggot array became twice as thick.
But immediately afterwards, Ye Li threw out the Crow-Shocking Talisman in his hand, and the soul-moving power, which was several times stronger than before, swept around instantly.
This time, the surrounding soul-eating maggots all lay still after a violent tremor.
"Hey, as expected, the power of soul movement is very useful against soul-eating maggots."
Tunri nodded with satisfaction.
After being swept by the Heaven-level Crow's Cry, all the soul-eating maggots within a five-meter radius were killed.
The soul-eating maggots farther away also seemed to be frightened and retreated in unison, and a large open space instantly appeared around the five people.
Even Ye Li himself was a little shocked. He had never expected that Jing Yaming would be so useful in dealing with the soul-eating maggots.
"Ye Li, was that the soul-walking spell you just cast?"
Ye Wujin couldn't help but ask after being shocked.
Ye Li said: “Yes, I awakened the soul-walking talisman root before, and accidentally learned a soul-walking talisman.
I just had no other choice but to give it a try. I didn't expect the effect to be so good. The Soul Walking Talisman seems to be the nemesis of the Soul Devouring Maggots."
Ye Li naturally concealed Tunri's reminder and just said that he suddenly thought of trying it.
Ye Wujin did not doubt him, nodded, and said: "I have heard that the Soul Devouring Maggots are afraid of the power of the Soul, but I didn't know that you, Ye Li, know the Soul Walking Talisman. After all, the Soul Walking Talisman is very rare.
That's good now. With your spell, we should be able to leave here safely."
Having said that, Ye Wujin also let out a long breath.
Although he was not in danger just now, he was still afraid that the four people who followed him in would be in danger. If Ye Li had not rescued them in time, I am afraid that the four of them would have died here.
Thinking of this, he took another deep look at Ye Li and said, "It seems that I really brought the right person with me this time, Ye Li.
Ye Li, you are truly a blessing to our Ye family!"
The three elders also came to their senses at this time. In the end, they had almost no ability to resist and were completely dependent on Ye Li and Ye Wuji for protection.
After facing death up close, there was a lot more gratitude in their eyes when they looked at Ye Li.
Hearing Ye Wuji's words, Ye Li smiled awkwardly and said, "Third Grandpa, you are too kind. My own strength is limited. I just happened to master the Soul Walking Spell. This is nothing.
If it weren't for Third Grandpa's protection, I wouldn't even have the chance to cast the spell."
Ye Wujin patted Ye Li on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be too modest, I don't have the ability to protect you, this incident is indeed your credit.
Well, it looks like all the soul-eating maggots have escaped. Let's go. The smell here is too bad. I don't want to stay here any longer."
As Ye Wujin spoke, he glanced around. All the soul-eating maggots that had survived the periphery had now disappeared without a trace. No one knew where they had retreated to.
It seems that they also have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. They can identify the danger of Ye Li. After seeing a large number of companions die, they dare not provoke the five people again.
However, after the previous battle, there were too many broken pieces of Soul-Eating Maggot corpses left on the ground, especially around Ye Wujin, which were all crushed and smelled extremely fishy.
None of the five people wanted to stay here any longer. After escaping danger, they took two steps at a time and quickly crossed the cave hall and walked into the cave opposite.
"It seems that this cave is indeed full of dangers. We don't know what is waiting for us next. Everyone must be careful."
Ye Wujin looked ahead and gave a reminder.
The four of them nodded, and once again formed a battle formation and continued to go deeper into the cave. After the battle just now, their expressions became more cautious.
Outside the cave, on the cliff.
Four figures in black robes were standing in an inconspicuous corner, looking at the maze cave at the foot of the mountain.
"How many monsters do we have left? Send them all in. More and more people have entered the maze cave. I don't want them to escape easily again."
The black-robed leader spoke, his voice sounding very hoarse.
Another black-robed man beside him bent his body slightly and said to the black-robed man in the lead respectfully, "Sir, we don't have many monsters left. After all, it's not easy to control them. We have basically put all the high-level monsters we can control into this.
Most of the remaining ones are low-level monsters. I think even if we send them in, the effect they can have will not be that great."
The leader seemed very dissatisfied with the other party's answer. He snorted coldly and said, "Humph, since when did you make the decision here? You just need to follow orders and don't have to think too much!"
