There were eighteen people in the group. Ye Wujin and the three elders were still walking in the front, while Ye Wutan and the masters of the hunting team were responsible for covering the rear.
Ye Li and the young people of the hunting team walked in the middle, which was also the safest place in the team.
They walked very fast on the way back and encountered several attacks from monsters and beasts. However, since there were two talisman masters in the spirit-descending stage in the team, they were able to resolve the problems quickly.
Soon, the team crawled to the place where they had encountered the soul-eating maggots before. There were no soul-eating maggots here now, and those soul-eating maggots that were scared away by Ye Li did not come back.
After all, in the eyes of monsters, this area has existences that they cannot contend with, so it is unsafe.
However, the corpses of the soul-eating maggots were still piled on the ground. Not only did they look disgusting, they also smelled extremely foul.
Just as everyone was holding their noses and preparing to pass through the cave hall and go out from the other side, hurried footsteps were heard from the opposite cave entrance, followed by a group of people rushing out.
Upon seeing this, the Ye family members immediately stopped and took a fighting stance. They were not sure whether the person coming was an enemy or a friend.
However, the newcomers had no intention of stopping. They also saw the Ye family members in a fighting stance, so the leader hurriedly shouted, "Is that you, Brother Wujin? I am Cao Tianmen. We have no ill intentions. There are monsters chasing us from behind. Please help us, Brother Wujin."
Ye Wujin was stunned when he heard this, and then shouted: "It turned out to be Brother Tianmen, come here quickly, let's form a formation."
After recognizing that the newcomers were from the Cao family, the original vigilance on the Ye family's faces disappeared a lot. The two families now have a close relationship and are showing signs of forming an alliance.
After hearing Ye Jinwu's words, the Cao family members immediately showed joy on their faces and hurried over.
At this time, a group of various kinds of monsters rushed out from the cave passage behind them.
The various monsters all had red eyes and rushed towards the crowd with ferocious faces. Their strengths varied, some were at the God-descending Stage, and some were at the Spirit Mist Stage. All of them looked fearless.
Fortunately, there were only two monsters in the Descending God Stage. With the combined efforts of two masters from the Ye family who were in the Descending God Stage and Cao Tianmen from the Cao family who was also in the Descending God Stage, the three of them easily withstood the attacks of the two monsters.
The remaining monsters were also killed by the two talisman masters in the elixir stage.
Ye Li didn't want to attract too much attention when he stood in the crowd, but the blue flame released from his hands made it impossible for him to keep a low profile no matter what.
The blue flame represents the extremely high purity of his fire talisman root. There may not be a person in the entire Shanhai County who possesses such a high-quality flame.
Ye Li was so used to using fire talismans that he forgot for a moment that he now had all five elements. Otherwise, if he used talismans of other attributes when taking action, it would not attract so much attention.
The Cao family members quickly recognized Ye Li's identity. After all, the Ye family and the Cao family have always had a close relationship. When Ye Li won the family competition championship and later the Rune Secret Land championship, many members of the Cao family had seen him.
Seeing that Ye Li had actually reached the Lingdan stage, the expressions on the Cao family members' faces became even more varied.
The Ye and Cao families joined forces and it took them about half an hour to finally eliminate all the monsters.
After the battle, the Cao family seemed exhausted. If the ground had not been too dirty, they would have sat down and rested.
Cao Tianmen panted as he walked to Ye Wujin and Ye Wutan, looked at Ye Li in the team and said, "Brother Wujin, your Ye family has produced another great talent.
That must be Ye Li, I met him after the Rune Secret Land Trial, he is indeed outstanding. "
Hearing Cao Tianmen's words, Ye Wujin also smiled and said a few polite words, and then said: "Brother Tianmen, how come you are being chased by so many monsters, did you just come in from outside?"
Hearing Ye Wuji's question, Cao Tianmen shook his head and said, "We came in before and found that the monsters were very abnormal after searching around, so we lost a lot of people.
After thinking about it, I felt that something was not right, so I decided not to continue looking for the earth-scale monster cub and wanted to leave with the team.
But when we just walked not far from the exit, we were attacked by a large number of monsters. There were already many people lying there, and it seemed that the monsters had directly blocked the exit.
There are too many of them. The monsters that just chased us are only a small part of them. They seem to be trying to seal all of us who came in the cave."
Hearing Cao Tianmen's words, Ye Wujin and Ye Wutan's faces changed and they looked at each other.
"Third brother, it seems like this is really a conspiracy. If we are stuck here for too long, the underground fire gate below will explode and none of us will be able to leave."
Ye Wutan frowned and said to Ye Wujin.
Ye Wujin's face looked a little gloomy, and it could be seen that he was also worried about this matter.
Cao Tianmen was confused and asked, "Brother Wujin, what did brother Wutian just say?"
Ye Wujin glanced at him and told him the situation they knew, but this time they did not mention that it was Ye Li who discovered it. After all, they did not want their younger generation to appear too special, as this would easily arouse jealousy.
After hearing this, Cao Tianmen showed a skeptical look on his face and said, "Brother Wujin, you are not lying to me, are you?"
Ye Wujin shook his head and said, "Brother Tianmen, why would I lie to you about this
We have seen with our own eyes the strange rune formation underground here, and you must have also felt the vibration in the cave just now. Doesn't this prove the facts
We are now rushing to get out and want to leave here as soon as possible. If the Earth Fire Gate explodes, all of us here will be in trouble.
Brother Tianmen, now that we have joined forces, our strength should be quite strong. Let’s go and try to see if we can break out of the encirclement of the monsters.
From what I think, the monsters controlled by the other party cannot be endless, otherwise there would be no need to activate the Earth Fire Gate, and they could just attack us all at once and kill us."
After thinking about it, Cao Tianmen nodded and said, "Yes, what Brother Wujin said makes sense. We have a lot of people now, so we should be able to rush out.
Although there are a large number of monsters outside, there are not many at the Descending God level. Most of them are below the Spiritual Pill level in strength.
If we put in some effort, we should be able to get out."
Hearing Cao Tianmen's words, Ye Wujin nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Tianmen, let's go up there first and then rush out together."
After making the arrangements, the two families joined together and continued to head towards the maze cave.
