The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

After assessing the strength gap between himself and the Golden Mantis in his mind, Matthew decisively gave up the last marking point.

Without any hesitation, Matthew turned and left.

With such a powerful monster, he didn't want to risk his life.

Before Matthew could take a few steps, he heard another explosion behind him.

After hearing the sound, Matthew paused, turned around and walked back.

Since the dozen monks had chosen to fight against the golden mantis, he stayed to see how the battle was going.

Matthew didn't know how long these monks had been trapped here by the golden-armored mantis, but judging from the life-threatening movements of these people, it must have been some time.

A large number of talismans and magic weapons all attacked the golden armored mantis.

No matter how powerful the golden armored mantis is, it cannot withstand so many attacks at the same time.

However, the golden armored mantis is indeed very fast.

As soon as he flapped his wings behind his back, he had already dodged the attacks of more than a dozen fireballs.

As for the water arrows, they were also shattered under the chop of its sharp scythe.

Matthew noticed that while these monks were attacking, their feet were also moving little by little.

The direction they are moving is exactly this side.

After the golden-armored mantis avoided several wind blades, seven or eight sharp earth thorns appeared under its feet before it even landed.

The golden armored mantis also reacted very quickly. With a flap of its wings, its body was suspended in the air.

But at this moment, a golden long knife fell from his head.

The knife struck the golden armored mantis heavily with a sound of breaking through the air.

But there was no situation where the golden-armored mantis was split in half.

Matthew took a closer look, and it turned out that the long knife was blocked by the pair of sickles of the golden armored mantis.

Although the long knife was blocked, the force carried by the long knife struck down the golden armored mantis from the air.

The golden-armored mantis flapped its wings desperately to prevent its body from falling onto the earth thorns.

"Good trick!"

Seeing this scene, Matthew couldn't help but admire in his heart.

These people cooperated tacitly as soon as they took action, and they had obviously discussed it in advance. However, the strength of the golden armored mantis was too strong.

Just as Matthew was sighing, he saw a person breaking away from the crowd running towards the fork in the road.

"Stupid!" Seeing this man running away, a roar came from the crowd.

But the escaping person turned a deaf ear to this, swung his legs desperately, and ran towards Matthew.

At this time, Matthew also clearly saw the face of the person running towards him. It turned out to be Weng Chengan from Qingyu Valley Yuqi Peak.

When Matthew shook his head secretly and lamented that this person's behavior was indeed a bit stupid.

A strong wind blew through.

By the time Matthew reacted, Weng Chengan had already fallen to the ground, and his head flew in front of Matthew again.

Looking at the dead head, Matthew turned around and ran away without any hesitation or thought.

The one who killed this man was not the previous golden-armored mantis, but another golden-armored mantis that suddenly appeared.

Moreover, this golden-armored mantis is one size larger than the previous one.

"The two golden-armored mantises can only be killed by foundation-building monks. Run, run." Matthew rushed out of the fork in the road as fast as possible and ran towards the original road.

With the Wind Control Technique and Light Body Technique, Matthew had already reached the limit.

At this moment, he wished he could have more legs to run faster.

There were no surprises on the way back.

After Matthew climbed out of the secret passage, he found that it was late at night outside.

After coming out, Matthew circled around and did not see Zhu Que.

"Master clearly said he was waiting for me outside. Could it be that I stayed in for too long and delayed something?" After not finding Zhu Que, Matthew muttered to himself in confusion.

Immediately, he ran towards Zhu Que's tent.

After only staying in the mine for a few days, Matthew always felt that something was wrong after coming out this time.

But he couldn't tell it for a while, so he could only find Zhu Que first.

"There seem to be a lot less people." As he passed through the tents, Matthew found that the tents were all empty.

On weekdays, more or less people would rest in these tents.

When passing the tent where Long Aotian often lived, Matthew stopped deliberately.

It was discovered that Long Aotian was not in the tent either.

Without stopping any longer, Matthew quickly ran towards the tent where Zhu Que was.

"boom!"

Matthew, who was running wildly, was startled by a sudden loud noise.

The loud noise was accompanied by violent shaking of the ground. Matthew had no choice but to lie on the ground.

The violent shaking made him unable to even stand, and some tents collapsed during the shaking.

When he saw the blue waves flashing violently, his face became extremely ugly.

"The enemy has launched a general attack, everyone gather at the center!"

Matthew, who was lying down, heard Yun Fuzi's voice.

He looked up and looked around, but did not see Yun Fuzi.

At this moment, a big hand appeared, grabbed the back of his neck, and pulled him up from the ground.

Matthew turned around and saw that it was Zhu Que who had pulled him up.

"The enemy has used the Earth Shaking Talisman, so be careful. How is the situation going?" Zhu Que said quickly with a solemn expression.

"The last one is still not finished. There are two golden mantises there. I am no match." Matthew took out the simple map he drew and pointed at the last marked point on it and said.

"Two golden-armored mantises, how could there be such things there?" Zhu Que said with a frown.

"There are not only golden-armored mantises, but also many other demonic insects. Basically all the people inside have been killed by these demonic insects." Matthew shook his head and said.

After listening to Matthew's words, Zhu Que's brows furrowed even more tightly.

"The latest news is that the Nine Star Sect has surrendered to the invading forces. Now they have launched a general attack here. We have to leave here immediately." Zhu Que took a deep breath and said something that almost made Matthew's jaw drop.

The Nine Star Sect is the sect that has existed the longest and has the deepest foundation among the four major sects, and yet it would actually surrender to the enemy.

This was indeed beyond Matthew's expectations. He would never have thought that a sect would do such a thing.

But since he learned about this from Zhu Que, he couldn't help but doubt it.

"After the Nine-Star Sect surrendered to the enemy, the three major sects here united to attack the Nine-Star Sect's people stationed here. Although we have wiped out all the Nine-Star Sect's people here, we also lost a lot of people." Zhu Quela Matthew said as he walked.

"Then what should we do now? Should we go to the center to meet up first?" Matthew asked.

"No need to go, no one will notice us now, just leave here through the secret passage." Zhu Que shook his head and said.

"Master, where is Senior Brother Liu Xingjian? He still owes me spiritual stones." Suddenly, Matthew asked something that stunned Zhu Que.

"Liu Xingjian... is dead... died of poisoning. He is Master Yun's registered disciple. He stole items from Master Yun's room a few days ago and was seriously injured. He was imprisoned for a few days. He suddenly died suddenly before. Master Yun originally planned to investigate the matter, but after learning that the Nine Stars Sect had rebelled against the enemy, no one took care of it."

Although Zhu Que was a little surprised that Matthew would still ask about this matter at this time, it became clear when he thought that Matthew paid special attention to spiritual stones.

"What about my spiritual stones? He still owes me five hundred spiritual stones." Although he looked annoyed on his face, he was relieved in his heart.

Although he did not see Liu Xingjian die in front of him, he could be said to have been poisoned to death by the poison pill he refined. It can be considered as revenge for the old man.
