After hearing the sound of rocks hitting the wall, many Jade Guardians rushed out of the cave. Across the underground river, they stared at the three people on the other side with their glowing compound eyes.

Ding Shiyu and Wan Zhuoyun did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would disturb those big ‘mantises.’ However, Lin Xiu, who was standing on the riverbank, did not give up. Instead, he used his newly learned Mana Siphon skill on a Jade Guardian in the front row.

Lin Xiu’s outstretched right palm continuously emitted a faint white light. In the next second, on the opposite shore more than ten meters away, the mantis that he had treated as his experimental target suddenly trembled. It was as if a layer of its soul had been extracted, and it became a little shaky.

[Hint: Mana Siphon has been successfully cast. Proficiency +1. 13 mana points have been extracted from the opponent.]

Looking at his magic power bar rising by a large margin, Lin Xiu’s expression was very satisfied.

To be able to successfully cast it from a distance of more than ten meters, this Mana Siphon was indeed very useful in battle.

However, his probing attack directly angered the dozen or so Jade Guardians on the other side.

They all lit up their sharp front claws that were shaped like sickles, as if they were about to charge over at any moment.

“F*ck! F*ck! Lin Xiu, if you want to die, don’t bring me along!”

Seeing that Lin Xiu was actually still continuously provoking the big mantis, the corners of Wan Zhuoyun’s eyes kept twitching, his entire person almost going crazy from fear.

“Don’t worry. The underground river is so deep. Those mantises shouldn’t dare to come over.”

Looking at the bottomless underground river that was ten meters wide, Ding Shiyu observed it for a while and then concluded.

Hearing his fiancée’s words, Wan Zhuoyun gradually calmed down.

He kept taking deep breaths to adjust his state of mind.

A moment later, he immediately said to Lin Xiu confidently, “Lin Xiu, there’s no need for us to use swords and knives to fight back. I’ve already said that I’ll give you this equipment immediately after we get out. If you still refuse to come to your senses, then we’ll wait for the adventure to end in 20 minutes before we go out.”

As he spoke, Wan Zhuoyun narrowed his eyes and used a tone that seemed to have grasped the other party’s heart, “At that time, you won’t get a single cent!”

He took out a roll of bandages from his backpack and treated himself while putting on a calm expression.

“Is that so? It seems that you don’t understand the current situation at all!”

Lin Xiu turned around and smiled at the two of them. Then, he immediately condensed a fireball and smashed it toward the other side of the river!

A basin-sized fireball whistled past. Under Lin Xiu’s control, the fireball avoided all the Jade Guardians and smashed into the ground behind them.

The surrounding temperature suddenly rose, and flames soared into the sky.

Facing the threat, the innate fear of fire in their bones made those huge mantises explode with strong survival instincts.

The carapaces on their backs were originally used to block damage. Now, they suddenly separated from both sides.

The folded brown wings were revealed.

Just like that, every Jade Guardian seemed to have completed a light wing expansion. They flapped their wings and rushed in Lin Xiu’s direction.

Although those large mantids were not good at flying, they were more than enough to glide a distance of more than ten meters.

In the background of the blazing fire, mantids the size of calves rushed towards them like bomber planes, interweaving together to form a hair-raising scene.

” F*ck, those monsters can actually fly!”

Seeing the Jadeite Guardians fly over from the opposite shore, Wan Zhuoyun was so scared that his heart and lungs stopped.

The confidence and solemnity that he had been holding up instantly collapsed, and his body trembled like a sieve.

Deep in his heart, he seemed to be innately afraid of insects.

However, Ding Shiyu’s condition was not much better than Wan Zhuoyun’s. When she saw the terrifying mantises that were the size of calves, she almost fainted on the spot. Her body fell to the ground and she kept retreating.

“How is it? You understand the situation now, right?”

Lin Xiu used his movement technique and returned to the side of the two of them as he said with a smile.

“Big Brother! Dear Brother! Let’s start the transaction now. Please let me out.” Seeing those large mantids landing one after another, intending to rush over, Wan Zhuoyun cried out miserably with tears and snot in his eyes.

The scene was like a pig being slaughtered.

“If you were so sensible in the past, you wouldn’t have to experience this.”

Grinning, Lin Xiu immediately initiated a transaction with Wan Zhuoyun.

After seeing the other party put all the equipment on his body into the trading column, Lin Xiu finally agreed to the transaction unhurriedly.

At the same time, Ding Shiyu, who was at the side, also tacitly dismissed the team with a trembling voice.

Intending to keep the two people in suspense, Lin Xiu did not immediately agree.

Instead, he waited until the Jade Guardians were about to reach and the two of them cried for their parents before he chose to agree.

The two people in front of him displayed their powerful hand speed as they tapped on the ‘agree’ button at lightning speed.

Lin Xiu had just chosen to agree when the two of them exited this instance dungeon.

Two white lights flashed in front of his eyes. Soon, he was the only one left in the cave.

Looking at the two figures that no longer existed, the smile on Lin Xiu’s face became even more vibrant.

He felt that it was not too much to give the two of them a little shock from the Lin Family.

Putting the equipment into his backpack, Lin Xiu immediately used a double jump and ran into the air.

A few Jade Guardians had already pounced on him.

Those sharp scythes left marks on the walls. Clearly, those large mantids also had a lot of hatred for Lin Xiu.

“You guys stay here. I’ll go to your nest to take a look.”

Rubbing his eyes, Lin Xiu regained his spirit and turned around to run towards the other side.

With the ability to walk on water, Lin Xiu could ignore the obstacles of the underground river.

As for the Jade Guardians, they could not go back so easily.

The river bank on the other side was already relatively high, so it was impossible for those large mantids to fly over just by flapping their wings.

In addition, when they crossed the underground river previously, they were stimulated by the fire, which activated their flying ability. But now that Lin Xiu had already run to the other side, they naturally slacked off without danger.

The cave on the other side of the river was slightly smaller, and the highest point of the cave was only two meters.

There were seven to eight holes on the walls, which were obviously the nests of the Jade Guardians.

Now, those monsters were all deceived by Lin Xiu’s plan. He had lured them away from their homes, and they had no choice but to allow Lin Xiu to carry out his plundering.

“The Class System is not lying to me. There is indeed jade ore here!”

After looking around for a while, Lin Xiu soon found green jade ores in a few nests.

Under the dim light, the jade continued to emit a bright and graceful glow, which was out of place with the surrounding scene.
