Chapter 138 A Trip to Penglai (31)
"Senior sister..."
Su Wusi seemed to be trapped in a nightmare.
"Wusi, what are you daydreaming about? The crabs we caught today are plump and fresh, and our senior brothers are waiting for us."
Luo Zai Shui took Su Wu Si's hand and led her outside.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is all about enjoying the moon together, eating autumn crabs, and preferably having some wine..."
Luo was rambling on and on in the water, but Su Wusi could no longer hear him. Through her blurred vision, she vaguely saw that person again.
"Senior sisters, here you are! You've finally arrived!"
Jian Muyi waved his hand, inviting them to sit down.
"You've come at the perfect time! I just warmed up Qiuyuebai. Come and try it; it's a freshly brewed wine that was just opened today."
Xue Xin smiled and poured a cup of wine for each person.
"Crabs are coming! Watch out, they're hot!"
Shi Ming and Ji Tinghan each carried a basket of steamed crabs and placed it on the table.
"Ouch... It's so hot!"
Ji Tinghan slapped the crab back into Jian Muyi's hand: "What's the rush? Master and the others haven't arrived yet."
"Hahaha, on this beautiful day, let's appreciate the moon together, there's no need to be so reserved."
"Master."
Everyone stood up and bowed.
Su Wusi found herself in tears.
"Master..."
He seemed not to hear Su Wusi's voice, but only reminded Luo Zai Shui: "Crabs are cold in nature, so don't overeat them."
"Uncle-Master, I know. It's a rare occasion for us to gather like this. Why don't we share a drink together?"
"it is good--"
"Then may Xianyun Peak have this day every year, and may every year have this morning."
"Junior Sister Su... Junior Sister Su..."
Someone pulled her out of her sleep, and Su Wusi touched the tear stains on her face.
This matter can only be recalled in retrospect, for at the time it was already a regret.
Seeing Su Wusi so grief-stricken, Luo Zai Shui's heart ached. She longed to hold her and gently wipe away the tears on her face.
"Junior Sister Su, are you having a nightmare?"
Ye Xiao asked with concern.
Su Wusi wiped away the tears on her face and gently shook her head: "It's nothing."
"Be careful, the Wen family is indeed looking for Feng Ling, we have to make a move first."
Su Wusi composed herself and nodded: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Ye."
Ye Xiao moved closer without making a sound, and their warmth intertwined, helping them get through the cold night.
"Young Master Wen, we've found...we've found it!"
The group exchanged glances and silently shifted their positions within the crowd.
"lead the way!"
"No, Young Master Wen, there are demonic beasts guarding the inside; we can't get in."
"A bunch of useless trash!"
Wen Lian's gaze fell on his disciples.
"A few of your trusted disciples, come in with me. This is a rare opportunity for training. Who wouldn't want to take it?"
Those who were unwilling dared not utter a sound, for the Wen family had already placed swords at their necks.
“Hey, Young Master Wen, I’m willing to go too.”
Shen Xian suddenly called out to him.
Wen Lian looked him up and down, and decided that one more person to die wouldn't matter, so he nodded and mercifully let him follow.
Jiang Qian was about to speak when Shen Xian stopped him with a look. He mouthed, "You stay outside and meet us."
Jiang Qian had no choice but to give up.
"It's inside."
Before them was a narrow opening, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, from which faint dragon roars could be heard.
"A dragon?" Wen Lian chuckled. "Interesting. You go in and scout ahead."
The Wen family members shoved and jostled their disciples, while Wen Lian stood outside the cave entrance with an expression of watching a good show.
Su Wusi was the last to enter. Seeing that Wen Lian didn't seem to intend to go in, she devised a plan. She used the Wind Riding Technique to pull him inside, and then swung her sword to smash the cave wall, blocking the entrance tightly.
"You've gone too far!"
Just as Wen Lian was about to lash out, Su Wusi pressed a sword against his neck, a silent threat.
Wen Lian toned it down a bit, but still couldn't resist spouting nonsense: "Once I get out of here, you'll all be in for a world of hurt!"
By the time the Wen family members outside realized what was happening, Jiang Qian and his men had already suppressed them.
"Behave yourselves, your master is in my hands right now."
There was a faint sound of dripping water inside the cave, and in the dim light, nothing could be seen clearly.
No one dared to make a sound and disturb what was inside.
"Junior Sister Su..."
Ye Xiao called out softly.
"I'm fine." Su Wusi pressed the sword even closer. "I've captured someone to die with me, so it's not a complete loss."
Shen Xian bumped into something and said, "No, it's too dark here, I can't see anything."
Just as he was about to light the candle, a breath blew out the tinder in his hand.
Shen Xuan froze, his neck stiffening: "It's awake?"
Everyone was on high alert.
"Don't move or make a sound."
Ye Xiao's cold sword light reflected part of the thing's appearance.
It was a black dragon, staring intently at the ant before it.
"Keep your voice down and back off."
Ye Xiao made a quick decision: they could never be a match for this dragon.
"Clang..."
Someone kicked a pebble, and Wen Lian screamed as she broke free from Su Wusi's grasp and began running around in a panic, covering her head.
"what--"
Hearing the commotion, the dragon swiftly attacked Su Wusi.
"Be careful--"
Ye Xiao pulled her away. Those who reacted slowly were not so lucky and were directly swatted away by the black dragon's tail.
The silence was broken, and everyone began to flee in panic.
The startled dragon went berserk, its long tail slamming against the rock face, causing boulders to fall and injuring many more people.
The hole, which was already blocked, is now even more impossible to break open.
"What do we do now?"
While dodging the flying rocks, Shen Xian searched for an opportunity to break through.
"Don't provoke it."
Ye Xiao shouted.
"It's too late!"
Shen Xian exclaimed in surprise that some of his close disciples were actually taking action with a do-or-die attitude.
Their magical weapons struck the dragon's scales like a tickle, causing no harm whatsoever to the dragon; instead, they only angered it.
"We have to kill it with one blow, otherwise we'll all die if this thing goes berserk."
Ye Xiao barely dodged the flying dragon tail, and then a huge rock fell on his head.
Su Wusi cleaved the boulder above his head: "Remove its inner core! My senior sister taught me that if you encounter a dragon, removing its inner core is the most effective method. You can't attack it directly; if its inner core explodes, we'll all be torn to pieces!"
After hearing this, everyone agreed on their goal and began to attack the dragon's inner core.
Since that is its fatal weakness, how could they possibly succeed so easily?
It could swat them away with almost one hand, and even if someone managed to get close, they couldn't leave a scratch on the dragon's hard scales.
Sensing their murderous intent, the dragon became even more ferocious.
The cave was dark, and the disciples couldn't use their skills properly. Shen Xian took the opportunity to throw out a talisman for lighting, but it was smashed to pieces in less than half a breath.
"Senior Brother Ye, cover me!"
Su Wusi drew his sword and appeared in front of the dragon at top speed, landing steadily after unleashing a burst of sword energy.
A faint scratch appeared on the dragon scale.
"It works, let's try again!"
