"Meow White, how did you get here?"

"......"

"Do you want to explore with me? Stop kidding, is there a way back nearby? I'll take you back right now!"

As Wang Xiaole's voice fell, he was about to hold Meow White;

Unfortunately, he was hit by the opponent’s preemptive move, and instead, his waist was tightly hugged by Meow White.

This cat, Meow White, seemed to have turned into an octopus, using its extremely strong suction limbs to firmly fix itself on the legs of the "big brother."

No matter how Wang Xiaole jumped or spun around, he couldn't get Meow White off him;

After a long time of struggling like this, Wang Xiaole sighed and promised Meow White, "Alright, we'll act together, but Meow White has to promise me first: not to act on your own afterwards, and definitely not to leave my protection range!"

Feeling the sincere compromise from the "big brother," Meow White happily jumped off and prepared to explore at any time.

Looking at Meow White like this, Wang Xiaole felt a bit helpless;

More importantly, he was grateful for her help.

When the exploring team expanded from a "one-person team" to a "two-person team," the two of them officially set off.

After walking along the sandy path for more than ten minutes, an incredibly magnificent underground ancient city appeared in front of them.

The city itself was so grand and majestic, spectacular and imposing, so deep and distant, thriving and magnificent.

Its architectural style was very unique, combining delicacy and simplicity, with flowing lines on the walls and domes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

It covered a vast area, exceeding thousands of acres, and the most peculiar thing was the stone used to build it.

This seemed to be an extremely special type of stone, not commonly heard of outside;

It had the effect of emitting colorful starlight on its surface in the dark.

The stone was extremely hard, even if someone exerted great effort to cut it;

Even so, on its cut surface, only a trace of light would appear, resembling a blooming starlight flower.

Therefore, each brick that made up the ancient city seemed like a piece of artwork;

It was with these bricks that the designer built the ancient city.

Originally, this place was an absolutely dark underground world, but around the ancient city ruins, the starry sky shone brightly, and a blue starlight illuminated everything around.

The infinite starlight created by humans shone brightly in the sky as if turning this place into a vast starry sea.

The scenery was so magnificent and grand that when Meow White stood on the ground staring at the sky, she was speechless for a long time, looking somewhat stunned.

The starlight reflected on Meow White's face, projecting a look of fascination in her eyes.

"This place is quite romantic. If it could be developed into a tourist attraction, the monthly ticket revenue would be... hehehe."

While Meow White immersed herself in the beautiful scene with a typical girl's mindset, Wang Xiaole was thinking about how to make money.

Perhaps, this subtle difference in their thoughts was the true existence between the two.

The two of them arrived at the entrance of the ancient city, and then the temple door opened automatically.

Before them, a dense fog appeared, exuding waves of magical aura.

Stepping into the temple, the next moment, their bodies were sucked in;

Instantly, the two found themselves in a vast cavern;

The cavern was dark and eerie, emanating a strong musty smell.

Being knowledgeable in magic, Wang Xiaole was well aware:

What presented before his eyes was not an illusion, but the actual interior of the cavern.

Combining the fluctuations he had sensed earlier, Wang Xiaole could ascertain:

He and Mewo White had just been transported by the magic array set within the ancient city!

On both sides of the cavern were dilapidated buildings, the ceiling of the cavern was unknownly high;

Anyone entering the cavern could not see the top at a glance, only pitch blackness, as if entering a huge black hole.

The passage ahead was pitch black, and Wang Xiaole led Mewo White cautiously forward, vigilantly watching their surroundings;

Though the place seemed calm, Wang Xiaole had a bad feeling;

In other words, he believed that hidden within the darkness here were dangers difficult to perceive easily.

After walking hundreds of meters, the two had not encountered any dangers yet, but that ominous feeling was growing stronger.

Boom!

Suddenly, the rock wall beside Wang Xiaole exploded, and the next moment, a figure with a human head and a beast body appeared.

The attacker stood nearly two meters tall, covered in golden scales resembling crocodile skin, shining brightly while being extremely dazzling;

Its limbs were all sharp claws, with a huge spiky tail, looking incredibly fierce.

The attacker rushed towards Wang Xiaole on his side, with lightning-fast speed;

In the instant Wang Xiaole squinted his eyes, the opponent had already arrived in front of him.

As the wave of Holy Power spread out, the attacker's forceful fist landed solidly on his chest.

Bang!

This strike was extraordinary; for an ordinary opponent, a punch like this wouldn't even scratch Wang Xiaole;

But the impact of this punch was different, making him genuinely feel the massaging force.

Undoubtedly, the attacker's fist could deliver such an effect, indicating its remarkable strength.

As if to show respect to such an opponent, the next moment, Wang Xiaole clenched his right hand into a fist and struck out towards the front.

Abruptly, the attacker felt as if it had been hit by a towering peak;

Its entire body was immediately sent flying, crashing several meters deep into the rock wall, instantly buried inside.

The attacking force of Wang Xiaole's punch was not enhanced by any external force, just pure physical assault.

Swish!

Just then, the second assailant, who had appeared, swung its fist in attack.

As it struck out, it was directly countered by Wang Xiaole's raised fist, causing a fierce clash;

In an instant, the attacker felt its entire arm numb as if losing sensation.

Before it could recover, the formidable opponent in front of it suddenly rushed forward, fiercely kicking towards it.

The attacker had no way to resist at the moment, only able to endure the attack with their body, and soon their leg came crashing down.

Bang!

At that moment, the attacker suffered a terrible blow, unable to control their staggering body, instantly falling to the ground and feeling as if their ribs had been kicked off.

At the same time, Wang Xiaole gripped his long sword, protecting Mewo White behind him, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

In his heart, the vague premonition he had felt was growing stronger with each passing moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the sounds echoed, sudden bursts of explosions erupted near Wang Xiaole's location;

Soon after, three more attackers appeared, identical to the previous two, with similar levels of strength.

It had to be said that Wang Xiaole reacted quickly; the moment those guys appeared, he launched an attack.

With a swift motion, he swung his sword towards the incoming enemies;

Simultaneously, the three attackers also fought back, rushing towards him.

Wang Xiaole thought to himself:

The reason the enemies hadn't targeted Mewo White might be because they planned to eliminate the most likely threats first.

As long as he was around, they wouldn't go after Mewo White in the short term;

Of course, this was only a temporary situation;

The longer the delay, the more likely the enemies would become desperate and escalate the situation.

With this in mind, Wang Xiaole moved even faster, determined to take down all enemies in the short term!

Focusing on the nearest target, Wang Xiaole extended his hand and swung his sword towards the side, launching an attack in a direct manner.

As expected, the targeted enemy, relying on its strong defense, raised its claws to protect its head.

With a clang, the first target was pushed back by the sword, its arms bloodied in the process.

Then, just as Wang Xiaole had planned, he thrust his wrist forward, pushing the sword out in a palm strike;

With a swish, the exposed target with its hands raised had its abdomen pierced by the sword's blade.

Having dealt with the first one, Wang Xiaole immediately noticed the second target advancing and shifted his body to control his right leg.

Using his leg to block the incoming punches;

He raised his lower leg to strike the wrist, resulting in a bone-crushing sound;

Then, he brought his thigh down heavily from above, aiming squarely for the head!

After completing this set of moves, Wang Xiaole completely knocked down the second target.

The third target seized the opportunity to attack, seemingly intending to take advantage of the opponent's weapon loss and gain an upper hand.

Unfortunately, it had made a wrong move.

The moment Wang Xiaole instinctively raised his right hand, the long sword that had flown around and returned back, was once again in his grip.

As the third target lunged at him, he raised the sword above his head and swiftly struck forward.

Crack!

From the sounds that were randomly emitted, it was clear:

The cause of death for the third target was simply because they recklessly rammed into the blade...

With a quick movement of his right hand, Wang Xiaole dodged the fourth target which was coming towards him.

With a cold snort, he instantly vanished from his original position;

The fourth target missed its attack, not even touching a single dark, long hair.

Although he did not use his fastest speed, it was still more than enough to deal with this single opponent.

"Bye-bye!"

In the next moment, he appeared beside the final target, aiming a sword strike at its vital point.

After the assailants were all dealt with, they either fell to the ground or were embedded in the rock walls, before dissipating into particles of light.

This scene made Wang Xiaole realize:

The enemies he had just battled, although powerful, were lifeless beings, more like creations of someone.
