“Eh?”

“Why did the fog dissipate?”

Lin Xiruo suddenly said seriously.

Wei Can also faintly smelled a hint of danger.

After pondering for a while, Wei Can asked, “Where’s Ke Tu? Why don’t I see him?”

As soon as he finished speaking, crazy laughter came from behind everyone.

Ke Tu stood at the exit and laughed wildly. “Aiya, I’ve been discovered.”

“Unfortunately, it’s too late!”

“Ke Tu, what are you doing?” Lin Xiruo asked coldly.

“Nothing. I just want to trap Miss here.”

With that, Ke Tu’s eyes flashed, and the red crystal in his hand flickered.

A red light screen appeared at the entrance with a buzz, blocking everyone’s way.

This place had already become a cage.

Lin Xiruo watched this scene in disbelief, saying to Ke Tu, “What are you doing? I am your young miss!”

“Young miss?”

“What a joke!”

Ke Tu laughed wildly again. A moment later, his facial features became extremely distorted.

“Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this day?”

Liu Xiruo was stunned for a moment.

“Ke Tu, why do you say that?”

“Let us out first.”

Ke Tu smiled noncommittally. “Let you out? I can’t wait to kill you!”

“You brat, what are you talking about?!”

Li Qiang suddenly roared. His aura suddenly increased and he rushed forward.

His body slammed into the red light screen, wanting to forcefully break through!

“Naive!”

The corners of Ke Tu’s mouth curled up, and the red crystal in his hand flashed with a red light.

Buzz!

BOOM!

Li Qiang was sent flying. The red light screen sent him flying.

Wei Can hurriedly caught Li Qiang.

The two of them staggered a few steps back before regaining balance.

“It’s useless. If you want to get out, kill the Boss here first!”

Ke Tu activated the red crystal again.

“Rumble!”

The ground suddenly shook, and cracks spread out from where the chests were originally.

In the cracks, crimson light shone brightly, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

Li Qiang turned around and shouted at Ke Tu, “Rascal, don’t you like Miss Lin? You’re actually willing to push her into the abyss?”

Ma Meimei was also puzzled. “Yes, everyone can tell what you’re thinking, except for when we just faced…”

Wei Can’s expression also changed slightly.

What did Ke Tu mean?

Could it be that his previous performance was all an act?

“Yes, that’s what you think.”

“It’s all an act that I liked Young Miss. It’s all for today, to avenge my parents!” Ke Tu’s facial features were twisted, and his voice was extremely hoarse.

Everyone was stunned.

Wei Can was also cursing in his heart. This plot was really dramatic. How could he get involved in the injustice of a wealthy family?

Lin Xiruo’s beautiful eyes widened, filled with disbelief. “Avenge? Why?”

Ke Tu let out a fierce breath and said, “Stop pretending. My parents were killed by your parents. I joined the Lin family to take revenge on your damn parents!”

“You might ask, aren’t you the steward’s son?” Ke Tu suddenly sneered. “Young Miss, don’t tell me you don’t know that I’m only an adopted son?”

Without waiting for Lin Xiruo’s reply, Ke Tu said with a cold smile, “I am going to kill you! Let your parents live in the pain of losing their loved one!”

“As for the few of you, you will be buried with Miss Lin!”

With that, the demonic beasts broke out of the ground!

Elite demonic beast: Earth Crusher Beetle!

Boss: Crimson Spellfiend Golem!

Four Elites and one Boss!

Every one of them was above Level 5 of the Second Stage!

The Crimson Spellfiend Golem was at Level 9 of the Second Stage!

“Hiss~”

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. The difficulties they were about to face were even more troublesome than before!

Lin Xiruo was scared out of her wits, her entire body couldn’t help but tremble.

“How could this be…”

Li Qiang’s eyes were fiery red as he stared at Ke Tu, wishing he could skin him alive.

“Don’t worry!”

Wei Can and Xu Yaoyue suddenly said.

Then, the two of them looked at each other and said at the same time, “You go first!”

Wei Can was stunned for a moment before he quickly said, “Time is tight. I’ll go first.”

“These five demonic beasts have all been killed before. To put it bluntly, they are just puppets. Everyone, don’t worry. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome this obstacle.”

“Haha, you actually saw through them.”

Ke Tu laughed wildly.

“That’s right. I did hire someone to kill them first. Their strength is indeed not as good as before, but…”

Leaving behind a meaningful smile, Ke Tu disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The five demonic beasts had also recovered at this moment.

Each of them was three meters tall and emitted an evil light. They were extremely oppressive.

“Right now, we can only deal with these five demonic beasts first,” Li Qiang said.

Everyone nodded at each other.

At this moment of life and death, Wei Can no longer dared to slack off. He adjusted his mentality extremely seriously.

“Go!”

As a warrior, Li Qiang acted as a tank in front.

The Crimson Spellfiend Golem raised an arm and slapped him.

The heavy bronze hand was so powerful that it even produced a sonic boom in the air.

“Iron Shield!”

At the critical moment, Li Qiang took out the iron-level defensive shield he had just obtained.

The fist and shield collided with a dull thud.

Li Qiang took a few steps back, and the iron shield in his hand cracked.

“What terrifying attack power!”

Before Li Qiang could finish exclaiming, Wei Can roared, “Get down!”

In this world, cold winds howled, and the temperature dropped below freezing point.

After a loud dragon roar, Frost Wrath broke out!

BOOM!

Frost Wrath hit the Crimson Spellfiend Golem and quickly froze it into a large block of ice.

“Did you succeed?” Li Qiang was overjoyed.

“No!”

Wei Can’s expression was solemn. “This guy’s physical and magical defense is too high. I can only freeze him for 15 seconds!”

“Let’s help the others first!”

Li Qiang took a deep breath. The control time of 15 seconds was already abnormal enough.

However, this Crimson Spellfiend Golem was clearly even more abnormal.

There was no time to hesitate.

Li Qiang turned around to help Ma Meimei.

On the other side, Liu Xiruo was breathing heavily.

Her spirit pet, the Flametail Fox, had messy fur and was in a sorry state.

The defense of the Earth Crusher Beetle that Lin Xiruo faced was also extremely high.

The attack power of a mere First-Stage could not harm it at all.

“Little Tail, Ghost Flame!” Lin Xiruo clenched her teeth, fighting to the death.

The Flametail Fox roared at the sky. Three balls of flames appeared behind it and shot towards the Earth Crusher Beetle.

BOOM!

The flames created layers of smoke on the Earth Crusher Beetle.

The Earth Crusher Beetle howled, and Lin Xiruo’s eyes became dim. “Still too weak?”

However, when the smoke dissipated, she realized that the Earth Crusher Beetle had already fallen.

Standing on its corpse was Wei Can!
