Chapter 66

Beside a huge rock, Rong Cai said with a serious face, "Young Master Kai Xuan has already gone missing, and it is due to my failure to protect him. You two should immediately go down the mountain and return. I will continue searching here." He sighed and said, "If anything happens to the two of you as well, I will have no face to return to Master."

Rong Kai Hua shook his head. Just as he was about to refuse, Rong Kai Li exclaimed, "There's a message on the talisman."

All three of them were overjoyed and looked closely.

They saw a line of text appear on the talisman tied to their arms.

"I am fine, do not worry. I will return in a month."

The three of them looked at each other, and Rong Cai smiled bitterly. "Young Master Kai Xuan truly lives up to being a Spirit Practitioner. He must have tampered with the talisman."

They could see the text on the talisman but could not determine Rong Kai Xuan's location, which was clearly intentional on his part.

However, they did not know that Rong Kai Xuan was not using a secondary talisman but one of the main talismans in the set, which is why it seemed so mysterious.

Rong Cai shook his head and said, "Young Master Kai Hua, what do you think now?"

Rong Kai Hua sighed lightly and said, "It seems that Kai Xuan has made up his mind not to let us follow him."

Rong Kai Li nodded and said, "Big Brother, if we push too hard, Kai Xuan might go deeper into the mountains." He pointed to the talisman on his arm and said, "He can alter the talisman, but we are not Spirit Practitioners and cannot get close to him."

Rong Cai said softly, "That's right. Given Young Master Kai Xuan's character, once he makes a decision, he won't change his mind. We shouldn't look for him anymore." He smiled slightly and said, "I believe that with his alertness and the protection of the talisman, he will be fine."

Rong Kai Hua thought for a moment and finally said, "Alright, we will stay in this area for three days. If Kai Xuan doesn't show up, we will return."

The reason they entered the mountains was not for training but to accompany Kai Xuan and prevent him from encountering too much danger.

However, now that Kai Xuan had found a way to escape, their presence in the mountains had lost its meaning.

In the distance, Rong Kai Xuan's face also showed a hint of a smile.

The news of him killing two members of the Gu family had not leaked out, so the Gu family would not immediately send people to search the mountains.

Even if they stayed for three days, or even ten to fifteen days, Rong Cai and the others would not be in any danger given their skills.

With this in mind, he felt relieved.

He waved his hand slightly, dispelling the mist in front of him, and Rong Kai Xuan took large steps, heading deeper into the mountains.

He was not acting rashly but was confident that the path he was taking was not dangerous.

The path he was following was the same one the six Spirit Entities took when they entered the deep mountains, and with them as his vanguard, Rong Kai Xuan felt very bold.

He moved quickly, at a very fast speed, while simultaneously sending a thread of his consciousness into the orb in his forehead.

Inside, the six shadows were still floating quietly.

Rong Kai Xuan hesitated for a moment and then sent out the command to gather.

Although he was relatively safe, he knew that Rong Kai Jie would not give up easily. If he didn't receive any news, he would likely send more people into the mountains.

Since he couldn't find the Five-Colored Realgar and return in the short term, he decided to increase his protective forces.

The command was quickly transmitted, and he immediately received responses from the six Spirit Entities.

However, what surprised him was that the Spirit Entity Spellcasters of the five major elements all responded by moving closer to him. But the Spirit Entity Warrior's shadow sent a pleading thought.

Rong Kai Xuan sensed that the Spirit Entity Warrior was at a critical moment. If it continued to stay outside, it would greatly benefit its strength.

After a brief hesitation, Rong Kai Xuan immediately abandoned the summoning.

Although he was confident that the Spirit Entity Warrior would come if he needed it, he didn't want to miss this opportunity, which might make him regret it later.

Thus, a full day later, he finally met up with the five Spirit Entity Spellcasters.

Seeing the five identical Spirit Entities, Rong Kai Xuan suddenly slapped his forehead. He thought for a moment and transmitted the information about the Five-Colored Realgar to the minds of the Spirit Entity Spellcasters, instructing them to disperse around him and help him search.

At the same time, he led the Spirit Entities deeper into the mountains.

The direction he was heading was the same path the Spirit Entity Warrior had taken.

Through their connected consciousness, he understood why the Spirit Entity Warrior was unwilling to return.

It was because it was tracking a huge Spirit Snake. This giant snake had suffered greatly at the hands of the five Spirit Entity Spellcasters and had almost been killed before escaping.

The battle with this giant snake had caused the five Spirit Entity Spellcasters to advance in rank.

Their advancement deeply inspired the Spirit Entity Warrior, so it developed a strong obsession to kill the Spirit Snake.

Now, after a long chase, the Spirit Snake was getting weaker, while the Spirit Entity was getting stronger.

Rong Kai Xuan was very excited to see what would happen when the Spirit Entity killed the giant snake. Since he was aimlessly wandering in the jungle, it was a good idea to go and investigate.

With the five Spirit Entity Spellcasters nearby, Rong Kai Xuan felt much more at ease, though he was still cautious. However, he no longer felt the terrifying sense of danger that made him see enemies everywhere.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, Rong Kai Xuan stopped walking and looked in a certain direction in surprise. A huge sound came from there, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to tremble violently.

The jungle was instantly thrown into chaos, with countless birds flying up from the trees, flapping their wings and fleeing in terror.

Similarly, the jungle beasts, spirit beasts, and even small animals were scared and ran around in all directions, as if something terrifying was happening at the explosion site.

Rong Kai Xuan hesitated for a moment, feeling a chill.

If he were alone, he might have fled as far as possible like the jungle beasts.

However, he now had five powerful Spirit Entity Spellcasters with him.

A thread of his consciousness entered the Water Spirit Entity Spellcaster, and it immediately ran toward the source of the sound.

Its speed was extremely fast, and even in the harsh environment of the jungle, it did not slow down at all.

After a quarter of an hour, it finally stopped.

Through their connected consciousness, Rong Kai Xuan also saw the incredibly shocking scene in front of him.

In the center of the jungle, there was suddenly a huge sinkhole.

Yes, it was a sinkhole. Within a three-zhang radius of the center of the sinkhole, everything had disappeared.

There was a giant tree, with half of its massive trunk within the three-zhang range of the sinkhole. That half of the trunk had mysteriously disappeared, as if it had never existed, leaving the other half standing alone and eerily.

Rong Kai Xuan drew a sharp breath; he had never seen such a strange sight.

The space around the sinkhole was filled with an enormous and unbelievable energy fluctuation, a force powerful enough to crush a person to death.

Fortunately, this force was dissipating at an extraordinary speed.

But Rong Kai Xuan could imagine how terrifying the atmosphere must have been when the sinkhole first appeared. No wonder all the creatures in the jungle had chosen to flee, as any creature would instinctively want to get as far away as possible from such a force.

The Water Spirit Entity Spellcaster stayed at a distance for a long time, only approaching slowly once the atmosphere became bearable.

Rong Kai Xuan wanted to see what terrifying thing was in the sinkhole.

Although doing so might cost him a Water Spirit Entity Spellcaster, he did not care.

If it were someone else, they would never risk a special Spirit Entity, even if they were willing to take the personal risk. But for him, who could create special Spirit Entities at will, these precious entities were merely expendable.

Slowly, the Water Spirit Entity Spellcaster lowered its head into the sinkhole.

At the bottom of the sinkhole, there was indeed a semi-circular shape, with the lowest point reaching about three zhang deep. However, what truly shocked Rong Kai Xuan was that there were two human figures lying at the bottom of the sinkhole.

Rong Kai Xuan opened his eyes, his heart filled with confusion.

Everything around the sinkhole, including the unbreakable earth, had mysteriously disappeared. How had these two people at the bottom of the sinkhole survived?

These two people were definitely not ordinary and were extremely dangerous, which was Rong Kai Xuan's first thought.

His eyes darted around, and he wanted to turn and leave, getting as far away as possible. However, after some thought, he gritted his teeth and continued to command the Water Spirit Entity Spellcaster to descend into the sinkhole.

The closer it got to the bottom of the sinkhole, the heavier the pressure became. Fortunately, the dissipation was very fast, or the Spirit Entity would not have been able to withstand it.

Finally, the Spirit Entity stood steadily.

It carefully examined the two women lying at the bottom of the sinkhole.

One of the women was only twelve or thirteen years old, with a beautiful face but no color in her cheeks, which was worrying.

The other woman was around fifty years old, with a faint trace of blood seeping from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

The older woman was tightly hugging the young girl, as if using her body to protect her from the external pressure.

For some reason, seeing this scene touched Rong Kai Xuan's heart.

He sighed lightly. Regardless of who these women were or why they were here, he could not stand by and do nothing.

His figure flickered, and he quickly ran toward the sinkhole.
