Chapter 329: Chapter 264: The Reason for Being Trapped (First Update)

Meng Jun, Meng Ting, Ma Ziye, and others in their small squad were currently defending the entrance to the giant rocky cavern with their utmost efforts. Using the terrain advantage, they were resisting the vast army of Earth Warriors. Both sides had obviously experienced a long and grueling battle. There were a lot of fallen bodies of Earth Warriors, and Meng Ting and the others were drenched in blood, sweat streaming down their faces, and in a state of utter disarray, hardly able to continue.

Ada let out a triumphant howl, carrying Su Yu, he swooped down at an angle. In an instant, the exhausted Meng Ting and the others all looked up. Subsequently, they saw Ada in his gigantic form and Su Yu on his back.

"Su Yu -"

"It’s Su Yu -"

Immediately, Meng Ting, Qin Jiagui, and the others, looking pale and weary, started shouting excitedly at once.

Su Yu, who had been missing from the team for three days, had surprisingly arrived at this critical moment, descending from the sky on Ada who could grow enormous. This sight was so dreamlike; it was hard to believe.

"Ha ha -"

Seeing that everyone below was safe and sound, Su Yu laughed out loud. When he was about twenty meters off the ground, he gently pressed his hands down and jumped off Ada. While in mid-air, he fully activated the "Apocalyptic Storm".

Terrifying steam fog burst out of his body, instantly forming an enormous whirlpool of fog in the air, transforming into a tornado. As Su Yu descended through the sky, it erupted with a "boom" sound.

Like a godly figure, Su Yu descended from the sky, landing heavily and charged into the group of Earth Warriors. With a loud roar, the "Apocalyptic Storm" engulfed a dozen Earth Warriors instantly.

Immediately, within the storm, the "crunch" sound of tearing flesh and crushing bones resounded. Limbs and body parts, combined with a large amount of blood, were sprayed out like a fountain. This sight was both bloody and dazzling, quite shocking.

Meng Jun, Meng Ting, Zi Yu, Ma Ziye, and Qin Jiagui all looked on, unable to help but stop their actions. The tension that was held so high instantly evaporated, and at this moment, they all felt incredibly exhausted, almost entirely drained of strength.

In an instant, Su Yu annihilated more than a dozen Earth Warriors, causing the rest to stir. Su Yu turned around again and stood stably before the giant rock cavern all by himself. The steam fog formed into a cyclone spread out, and gradually simmered down, leaving behind a pool of blood and severed bodies.

Su Yu stood alone in the midst, while Ada landed, transforming back into a small sprite, settling on Su Yu’s shoulder.

"Su Yu..." The people behind fell backward exhausted. Ma Ziye couldn’t help shouting out, wanting to ask something, but Su Yu waved his hand and said, "You guys rest for a bit, I’ll deal with these guys first."

Even though Su Yu took out more than a dozen Earth Warriors in a single move, the remaining Earth Warriors were becoming more and more numerous. They were swarming, and at first glance, there were at least a hundred gathered at the mouth of the cave.

"Be careful...there are too many...Ada still has the combined...skills, right..." Meng Ting, from behind, advised Su Yu to use the Combined Attack Skills. In her eyes, Su Yu was a warrior who had just entered Level Five. He may be slightly stronger than Meng Jun, but facing such a large number of Earth Warriors on his own, he simply didn’t stand a chance.

Hearing Meng Ting say this, Su Yu slightly smirked, "Okay! Ada, trigger ’Black Flame Hell’."

"Understood -" Ada instantly leapt off, turning into a ball of black flame. Immediately, the bodies of Ma Ziye and Qin Jiagui, who had slumped to the ground, were pulled upright and gathered to Su Yu’s side. Su Yu stepped forward, leading the two into the large group of Earth Warriors that had just assembled, raised his arm, and triggered the combined skills, "Black Flame Hell".

Thick black flames erupted from the bodies of the three. Ada, who had already entered its fourth stage of growth, could now perform "Black Flame Hell" four times a day. Not only that, but the power of its combined skills had substantially increased. As Su Yu raised his right arm, black flames surged out from the bodies of all three and spread out instantly. In an area several meters around, it was enveloped by the black flames.

Almost impossible to dodge, a large number of Earth Warriors were immediately engulfed in black flames. Various roars and screams continuously rang out. Su Yu smiled, striking out once again, triggering "Black Flame Hell".

In the combined state, the bodies of Qin Jiagui and Ma Ziye were also moved by the force of the combination, following Su Yu’s movements. In an instant, the three plunged into another group of Earth Warriors, and another round of "Black Flame Hell" was released.

Immediately, several dozen more Earth Warriors were enveloped in black flames, the burning producing a "sizzling" sound.

The hundreds of Earth Warriors that were originally gathered were shattered by the consecutive two "Black Flame Hell" attacks. The remaining Earth Warriors churned into action, and instantly began to disperse. Seventy to eighty Earth Warriors were scorched and fell haphazardly to the ground. Massive amounts of energy from crystal cores crazily surged into Su Yu, Qin Jiagui, and Ma Ziye.

Soon, Qin Jiagui and Ma Ziye issued slight low roars. Their previously exhausted bodies were now filled with ample specials powers. The immense special power within them immediately reached the peak of the Fourth Order. As long as they could comprehend it, they could immediately breakthrough to the Fifth Level and become a Level Five Black Iron Warrior.

As for Su Yu, he had already entered the realm of the Sixth-Order Black Iron Warrior. As his level increased, the special power required for further evolution became greater and greater. The energy from the crystal cores of the ordinary Level Five beasts was, for the energies he required now, hardly enough to make a dent.

If one merely needed to absorb enough energy to evolve to the Fourth Order, and entering the Fifth Level required a bit of innate talent and understanding, and becoming a sixth-order powerhouse necessitated outside assistance during life-and-death battles, then from the sixth-order onwards, the difficulty of evolution could be said to be ten times more than the sum of the previous stages.

Just the sheer amount of needed energy was beyond imagination. Even after killing seventy to eighty Level Five Earth Warriors, the energy absorbed by Su Yu hardly caused any change in his special power. It was like a drop of water falling into the ocean, causing no ripples at all.

Leaving behind the bodies of numerous Earth Warriors, the remaining ones retreated like a tide. Ada shrank back to its original size and landed on Su Yu’s shoulder. Meng Ting slowly supported herself on a piece of rock and walked out, looking somewhat tired. "Su Yu, did Ada evolve to the second stage?" she asked.

She had earlier seen Su Yu consecutively unleash two "Black Flame Hells", and considering Ada could grow larger, she guessed that Ada had evolved to the second growth stage.

Su Yu smiled slightly. Zi Yu was already struggling to say, "Let’s make a move while they’re retreating. More and more monsters will rush over. Ada’s combined attack skills have also been used up. It will be troublesome then." It was obvious that he was greatly scared of these Earth Warriors.

Meng Ting was shocked, and said, "That’s right, we... should leave this place now. I hope we can make it out this time."

Su Yu frowned slightly and said, "This is already the fourth day. How could you all still stay here without finding the Jade Yellow Crystal Mine?"

The Dragon Kid on Meng Ting’s shoulder chimed in, "The Jade Yellow Crystal Mine is right in this cave, but we have been trapped here by these Earth Warriors for two days, unable to break out. Damn it."

Qin Jiagui said, "We relied on the terrain of this cave to barely hold on until today. Su Yu, where have you been these few days... How is... Ning Yan?"

Upon hearing their explanation, Su Yu finally understood. The "Jade Yellow Crystal Mine" was hidden deep within this cave. Everyone rushed here, but they ended up trapped by a large number of Earth Warriors, unable to escape until today.

Su Yu frowned and asked, "Can’t you utilize the power of Dragon Kid to directly bring the Jade Yellow Crystal Mine back to Freedom Village?"

Meng Ting responded with a bitter smile, "I had the same thought at the beginning, but... Dragon Kid can’t directly return to Freedom Village from this second layer of space. We must first return to the first layer before we can do so. This is something that even Dragon Kid did not know."

Su Yu was surprised. He had never expected this. He initially thought that Category 5 Lifeforms could return from the second layer of space at any time, hence leaving the team without worries. But now, he realized he had been utterly wrong. If they encountered any dangers, they wouldn’t have been able to escape.

Upon realizing this, Su Yu felt a cold sweat on his palms. He now understood that he had made assumptions too easily. He should not have pursued Ning Yan and left them behind. However, if he hadn’t pursued Ning Yan, he would not have entered the temple trial, met Xingyu, or had the experiences and encounters he had thereafter. If so, he would still be a mere Level Five Warrior.

Despite gaining enormous benefits, Su Yu still felt a chill run down his spine. He made a mental note that the next time something like this happened, he must not leave on his own accord.

Feeling a sense of relief and looking at Ma Ziye and the others, Su Yu felt lucky that everyone was safe. If anything unexpected had happened to Ma Ziye or Qin Jiagui, he would have deeply regretted it.

"Since the Jade Yellow Crystal Mine is in this cave, let’s go in."

Meng Ting shook her head continuously and said, "There’s no time for that. We finally managed to repel the Earth Warriors. We should seize the opportunity to leave. Otherwise, more of those monsters will appear."

When they initially entered this place, they only encountered a few Earth Warriors and didn’t take it seriously. However, more and more Earth Warriors appeared afterwards. Each time they repelled them, even more of these creatures would reappear. They had been trapped here for two whole days and finally couldn’t hold on any longer. Thankfully, Su Yu descended from the sky like a savior and temporarily resolved the crisis.
