Chapter 269 Dark Lake
"found it!"
Ji Yan and the others quickly looked at her. Yu Yao paused and said, "It's a bit dangerous. There are two level-six mutated beasts guarding that place."
This was the first time Yu Yao had ever seen a mutated beast of such a high level; it was ridiculously high.
You should know, she and Chi Heng were able to advance to level six thanks to...
It was an accident.
Otherwise, even with their almost abnormal leveling speed, they would only be able to reach the mid-stage of level five at most.
But those two mutated beasts are actually level six?
Even the fused zombies in the mountain valley can't reach this level!
Yu Yao wanted to tell them not to go in, but Ji Yan insisted.
"We must constantly grow through trials and tribulations. If we encounter similar situations again in the future, can we continue to run away from them?"
They can't always rely on Yu Yao to solve their problems.
Yu Yao twitched her brow and nodded to indicate that she understood. Then she urged her mount toward the central hot spring area.
Ji Yan and the others followed her warily.
......
The central hot spring area has long been polluted beyond recognition.
This area has always been locked down when it was designated as a safe zone.
Upon arriving above the underground lake, Yu Yao summoned Feng Jiye and pointed at Ji Yan and the others.
"You don't need to do anything, just make sure they don't die."
Feng Jiye slightly lifted her eyelids, her eyes revealing a hint of melancholy.
You want me to protect other men?
Yu Yao looked at him dangerously, "Are you sure you want to keep talking nonsense?"
Since he fell into a coma due to the turbid air in the mountain valley, Yu Yao's attitude towards him has improved a lot.
But that didn't give him a reason to disobey.
Feng Jiye snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Although he expressed this attitude, it already meant that he had agreed.
So Yu Yao stopped looking at him, put away her mount, and blasted a hole in the ground, revealing the underground lake below.
The moment the cave entrance appeared, strands of spider silk shot out from it, and Yu Yao casually released flames to burn them.
Immediately afterwards, a level 6 mutated bear roared and charged out.
Chi Heng took a step forward and blocked Yu Yao's path, engaging her in battle!
Yu Yao trusted him completely and calmly led Ji Yan and the others down into the underground space through the hole.
There are also several mutated beasts in the underground space.
A level 5 mutated wolf, a level 5 mutated monkey, and a level 5 mutated sable.
After smelling the human scent, they charged frantically at the group.
Yu Yao dodged them all without making a move.
She was looking for that mutated spider, which was just a moment ago!
She dodged left and right, refusing to make a move, but instead lit a few fireballs that swirled around the cave to provide light for everyone.
Feng Jiye leaned leisurely against the wall, watching Ji Yan and the level 5 mutated wolf fight back and forth.
It's quite impressive that they could achieve this despite being at a disadvantage.
The remaining Ye Ziang and his group worked in pairs, each fighting a mutated beast.
As long as they are not in mortal danger, Feng Jiye will not take any action even if they are slightly injured.
Only when the opponent's attack is too fierce and might be fatal will Feng Jiye casually release a lightning ball to knock them back two meters.
Let them catch their breath.
Feng Jiye, at level 67, is equivalent to a late-stage level 6 ability user. Dealing with level 5 mutated beasts is easier for him than a father beating his son.
Ji Yan glanced at him several times when he had a spare moment, until the mutated wolf nearly scratched his face, before he focused on the battle and stopped being distracted.
While using her divine sense in conjunction with the map to search for the traces of the level six mutated spider, Yu Yao's gaze also fell on the dozens of spider silk cocoons hanging from the ceiling.
There are still living people.
Yu Yao's eyelashes twitched slightly. Just then, a blood-red mutated crocodile lurking in the dark lake opened its mouth and rushed towards Yu Yao at high speed.
He tried to swallow her whole.
Without turning her head, Yu Yao raised her hand and slapped it away, sending it crashing into the wall on the other side and slowly sliding down.
Meanwhile, Feng Jiye, who was standing to the side, got up with disgust and complained to Yu Yao with a hint of dissatisfaction: "This filthy thing's blood splattered on me!"
"Wash yourself," Yu Yao said without turning her head.
"You're going to wash me?"
"I'll give you a hammer!"
"Heh~"
He chuckled softly, a sound so low yet so clearly audible to Yu Yao.
Yu Yao casually glanced back at him before releasing her wind blades to try and sever the spider silk cocoons that still bore the scent of living people.
As a result, it wasn't cut!
A shrill scream rang out as the mutated wolf fighting Ji Yan had its head pierced through by his ice blade and slammed into the dark lake.
A huge splash of water was created.
Yu Yao then noticed that the liquid in the lake was dark red.
Yu Yao glanced around and looked at the white tubular things crawling all over the wall, which looked like spider silk.
But it's much thicker than ordinary spider silk!
They almost covered the entire wall, but instead of gathering in the dark lake, they disappeared at the base of the wall.
Yu Yao unleashed another wind blade, which produced a metallic sound!
It's really hard.
After several mutated beasts were attacked and killed one after another, Ji Yan and the others finally had time to look at the dozens of spider silk cocoons above the dark lake.
He Jiang looked up in surprise at the largest spider cocoon and asked, "What...is this?"
“A person,” Ji Yan replied in a deep voice, raising his head.
Ye Ziang's pupils contracted.
"Those superhumans who went missing from our base?"
"Most likely."
Yu Yao pointed to the largest ones, "They're still alive."
As she spoke, she concentrated her wind-elemental spiritual power to its strongest level and severed the white threads binding the six living people in the spider silk cocoons.
The moment the six spider silk cocoons fell downwards, a huge scream came from all directions, viciously drilling into everyone's brains through their seven orifices.
Ye Ziang and the others coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Yu Yao was just about to catch the spider silk cocoon that was about to fall into the dark lake.
The ground they stood on and the dark lake suddenly shattered at the same time and plummeted downwards!
