Chapter 70: Fierce Battle Underground

Jun Wu Xiao and Yue Guang were both ignoring the enemy and sleeping soundly. They weren’t foolish, they knew the enemy couldn’t reach them in a short time.

While regular people need energy from food to heal wounds, they were different. The energy they used was something available around them.

Although they couldn’t see it, they were sure it existed because they weren’t foolish enough to believe that a few leaves could sustain their incredibly powerful bodies.

While the two of them were peacefully sleeping, outside the cave, the ferocious monsters continued to hunt them.

In their eyes, there were only two targets locked right in front of them. The terrain hindering them didn’t bother them. They followed their instincts, clearing everything in front of them to get closer to their target.

But the monsters were currently crazily digging underground, regardless of how long it would take.

Because the cave system was very complex, the monsters’ digging caused many passages to collapse. But even so, it couldn’t hinder the monsters. A week later, they had dug close to where Jun Wu Xiao and Yue Guang were sleeping.

The wounds on their injuries had also healed after nearly a week of rest, so now, upon hearing movement, they slowly opened their eyes.

"It seems like our strength has been restored, and the mouth wounds have healed. It looks like they won’t easily let us go. But no problem, now we can continue to fight." Jun Wu Xiao said.

Yue Guang nodded, her eyes flashing with a terrifying killing intent when thinking of the monsters. She said:

"They must die."

Jun Wu Xiao nodded in agreement, his eyes also flashed with killing intent. He snorted coldly:

"Hmph, of course, they must all die. Their existence is a serious imbalance in the world. They only bring destruction without creating anything or contributing to the world’s development in any way."

Yue Guang nodded, though she wasn’t sure why she felt so hostile towards them. But she knew one thing for sure: the existence of the monsters only made the world worse.

The two of them slowly walked towards the source of the noise. Then they stopped to wait for the monsters to rush in. A moment later, a corner of the cave collapsed, and ferocious monsters passed through the smoke and dust and entered one by one. Jun Wu Xiao and Yue Guang glanced at each other, and then the two of them immediately rushed forward to attack.

He threw a kick that sent the first nine-meter-tall monster that appeared flying into the cliff. Yue Guang also quickly rushed forward to continuously attack that monster. After dozens of attacks, she successfully destroyed that monster.

Eleven nine-meter-tall monsters along with dozens of six-meter-tall monsters didn’t stop when they saw their comrades being defeated. They madly rushed towards the two of them, three of the nine-meter-tall monsters leading the charge, swinging their arms fiercely towards them.

The sound of the wind tearing echoed in the space, but the two of them remained unfazed. They quickly relied on their speed advantage to dodge the attacks.

"Boom."

The three monsters’ hands all hit the ground, and Jun Wu Xiao shouted:

"Help me."

Then immediately jumped up, Yue Guang also understood what he meant so she threw a kick to help him fly faster to add more force to Jun Wu Xiao’s attack.

Jun Wu Xiao flew up like a bullet, his fist, powered by the combined strength of both of them, pierced through the monster’s head. The monster’s core was also blown away from its head by this attack.

Jun Wu Xiao was now floating in the air, with his experience from last time, the same thing obviously wouldn’t happen this time.

As predicted, with the target pursuit method the monsters used, the other two immediately turned back towards him.

Both of them jumped towards Jun Wu Xiao, and Yue Guang didn’t act hastily but waited for the right moment.

When the monster got closer to Jun Wu Xiao, she immediately used all her strength to leap up and at the same time swung a hook punch, sending the monster flying high.

At that moment, she also used her eyes to signal Jun Wu Xiao. He immediately turned around and kicked her as a springboard to help her fly straight towards the remaining monster. She then continued to unleash a punch that severely injured the monster’s head.

They each took one monster and continuously attacked until they could extract the core from their heads.

But they didn’t have time to rest. Now that they were underground, their movement range was limited, so they had to keep fighting.

But it’s not that they can’t run away, it’s that they can’t keep running anymore. The longer they delayed, the more people would die. They wanted to quickly destroy the monsters here to move on to help elsewhere.

Jun Wu Xiao and Yue Guang fought with dozens of monsters for many hours. After killing five more nine-meter-tall monsters and all the six-meter-tall monsters, the cave showed signs of collapsing. It couldn’t withstand any more destruction from their battle.

Seeing the constant falling of rocks and debris, Jun Wu Xiao felt the situation was extremely dire. He hurriedly said:

"Damn it. Yue Guang, forget about the monsters. We have to quickly run away from here. Otherwise, we won’t die from the monsters but from being buried until die."

Yue Guang wasn’t foolish enough to die just because of a few monsters. She nodded and quickly fled with him.

The two of them tried to escape from this place as quickly as possible. The original path had been destroyed by the monsters and covered up by the battle earlier.

The monsters wouldn’t stand still and watch them flee. They madly rushed towards them. But then suddenly, something bad happened.

A huge rock fell towards Yue Guang, knocking her backwards. But the bad things are not over yet, now she is attacked by monsters.

Defending against multiple opponents while in an unstable state made the situation extremely difficult. Cornered by the monsters, one of them seized the opportunity and bit her right leg.

"Aaaargh!"

She screamed in pain but quickly found a way to escape, leaving half of her leg in the monster’s mouth.

Jun Wu Xiao heard her sound, feeling very worried but didn’t turn back to look. Instead, he continued running forward.

Was he heartless? No, but he wasn’t foolish either. If he went back to save her now, there was a high chance that both of them would die. But if he survived, there was still a chance to dig down to rescue her, which was more feasible than digging up from underground.

Even if he couldn’t save her, it was better to have one person alive than both dead. There were still many monsters to be defeated, so they couldn’t act impulsively at this moment.
