Chapter 338 Found the Right Place
"Five...five-headed evil spirits!" Lin Feihong whispered in shock. He unconsciously clenched the thunder talisman in his hand, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
These five evil spirits were huge in size, and their five heads emitted eerie and terrifying laughter from time to time. The sound echoed throughout the entire cave, as if they were ghosts from hell.
Its body slowly approached the three people, bringing with it an indescribable sense of oppression.
"This is one of the Five Ghosts of Hell!" Chen Yile's eyes focused and he immediately recognized the monster in front of him.
He had read about this kind of monster in ancient Taoist books. It was said that they were vengeful spirits that escaped from the depths of hell and possessed powerful soul-devouring abilities. Once targeted by them, the soul would never be able to escape.
"Everyone be careful, each of its heads has a different way of attacking!" Chen Yile shouted, and quickly swung his sword to create a golden barrier to protect the three of them.
The evil ghost roared, and the five heads opened their mouths at the same time. In an instant, five different kinds of evil spirits spurted out of their mouths.
One was an icy cold air, another was a scorching will-o'-the-wisp fire, the third was a poisonous black fog, the fourth was a piercing sound wave, and the fifth was a thick miasma.
Five different attacks bombarded the golden barrier at the same time. Chen Yile's barrier trembled violently and was almost impossible to resist.
"Too strong! If this goes on, we won't be able to hold on for long!" Lin Feihong shouted loudly and immediately threw out the thunder talisman in his hand, trying to distract the evil ghost.
The thunder talisman exploded in the air, releasing a powerful force of thunder and lightning, striking one of the heads.
The evil ghost was struck by lightning and let out a painful roar. It took a step back temporarily, but soon recovered. The other heads continued to attack the barrier fiercely.
"The power of these evil spirits is too strange. Ordinary thunder talismans may not be able to cause fatal damage to them!" Chen Yile gritted his teeth, cold sweat already breaking out on his forehead.
He realized that if they did not quickly resolve the crisis at hand, they would likely be exhausted by the attacks of these evil spirits and eventually be completely devoured.
Lin Qingyao looked at the evil ghost's crazy attack, made up her mind, bit her fingertips, and took out another blood talisman.
She knew very well that this was her last trump card.
"Let me see if I can severely injure it!" Lin Qingyao's eyes were determined. She quickly dripped blood onto the talisman and chanted in a low voice, "Using blood as a guide, yin and yang will be destroyed and appear!"
The blood talisman burned rapidly in her hand, transforming into a scarlet light that shot straight towards the center of the five evil spirits.
The evil ghost felt threatened by the blood talisman, and all five heads let out sharp roars in unison, trying to dodge.
However, the blood talisman was extremely fast and hit its body with incredible precision.
The blood talisman turned into a flaming light and exploded in an instant, tearing a huge hole in the evil ghost's body.
The evil ghost let out a shrill scream, and its five heads twisted wildly, as if it wanted to tear the three people to pieces.
However, as the power of the blood talisman erupted, its body began to rapidly collapse, turning into black mist and dissipating into the air.
The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Chen Yile's expression was still heavy. He still felt that the sense of oppression had not completely disappeared.
Although the three defeated the five evil spirits, the cold and gloomy atmosphere in the cave had not completely dissipated.
Chen Yile took a deep breath, quickly composed himself, and looked calmly into the depths of the cave.
He vaguely felt that there was even greater danger waiting for them ahead.
"The direction the Taotie escaped is over there," Chen Yile whispered, pointing to a hole on the side of the cave, "Let's follow its traces."
Lin Feihong and Lin Qingyao nodded. They also understood that the road ahead would be even more dangerous.
The three of them walked cautiously along the hole. The air was filled with a foul and cold smell.
It was as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them from the darkness.
As they went deeper, the gravel on the ground gradually decreased, and instead a man-made stone staircase appeared.
"Where does this ladder lead to?" Lin Qingyao asked in a low voice, with a hint of vigilance in her tone.
"There is only one way to know." Chen Yile gripped the Tianshi Sword tightly and nodded at Lin Qingyao, signaling her not to worry.
The three of them turned on their flashlights and walked down the stone stairs step by step.
The stone stairs were narrow and deep. After walking for about ten minutes, some light suddenly appeared in front.
The three of them were startled, and the flashlight shone out. The light reflected on the smooth wall in front of them, presenting an unexpected modern feel.
"This...how can there be such a modern place?" Lin Feihong opened his eyes wide, his voice full of disbelief.
As they continued to move forward, the light gradually became brighter and the surrounding environment gradually became apparent.
The three of them finally got a clear view of the entire area—it didn't look like an ancient cave at all, but more like some kind of underground base.
The floor and ceiling were covered with smooth tiles, surprisingly clean, and there were hidden lights on the walls that provided a soft and bright light.
On the left and right sides are tall transparent glass walls, and various monsters are imprisoned inside the glass. Some are like giant bats, some are covered with tentacles, and some even exude an indescribable evil aura.
A trace of shock flashed in Lin Qingyao's eyes, and she murmured, "This feels like one of those high-tech underground laboratories in the movies."
Chen Yile also frowned. Although he had a premonition, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
The environment they were in was completely different from any Taoist formation he had ever encountered.
There is a cold sense of order here, and every facility is precise and rigorous, as if it is a collision between humans and unknown forces.
The three of them were still looking around when suddenly, an automatic door in front of them slid open silently.
Behind the door, a familiar figure walked out - it was Zhang Xiaoyuan.
She was dressed in a smart black uniform and exuded a calm and confident aura.
"I really didn't expect that even though I was so careful, you still found me." Zhang Xiaoyuan's tone was calm, as if she had already anticipated their arrival.
"Your tricks are really not that great." Chen Yile sneered, his eyes full of vigilance, and he was ready to fight at any time.
Zhang Xiaoyuan raised her eyebrows, a hint of teasing in her eyes: "Alright, now that I've been discovered and chased here by you, I won't pretend anymore."
She spread her hands, her tone filled with pride. "Yes, this is the ultimate underground base of our Geo-Organization. However, what you see now is only the periphery. The real core area cannot be entered without authorization."
Chen Yile looked at her coldly and said in a cold voice, "This place is quite modern, but what on earth are you doing?"
Zhang Xiaoyuan looked at him with a half-smile and said slowly, "As you can see, traditional Taoist methods may not necessarily be able to cultivate what we need.
