Chapter 497 Escape in 4 places

Lin Feng's brows were furrowed, a solemn expression appeared on his face, and he slowly said: "I haven't thought about it yet." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice. In the face of this complicated situation, he also felt unprecedented pressure.

Xu Tian's eyes revealed anxiety and confusion: "Haven't you thought it through? Then why leave them all here?" There was a hint of questioning in his voice, as if he was blaming Lin Feng for not coming up with a solution to the problem immediately.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "Let me think about it again." His eyes revealed contemplation, and his brain was working rapidly, trying to find a glimmer of hope in this chaotic situation.

Chen Xiner was speechless when she heard Lin Feng's answer. Previously, Lin Feng had vowed to keep all these people here, but now he had no idea what to do. But she also knew that this was not the time to complain, and she could only place her hopes on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng ignored them and cast his gaze towards the vast space. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, carefully observing every corner of the space, trying to find some useful clues. Suddenly, he noticed a tower in the middle of the space.

The five-story tower radiates a mysterious light, not dazzling but possessing a power that cannot be ignored, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story. The tower is surrounded by eggs of varying sizes, ranging from millstones to washbasins, each emitting a strange aura.

Around the egg, there are holes of different sizes. These holes are much larger than the hole they are in. There are some strange marks left on the wall of the hole, as if they were gnawed by some huge creature, or like the marks left by some mysterious power.

Suddenly, a flurry of hurried, chaotic footsteps echoed from a hole in the wall. People from the Nine Emperors Pavilion emerged like a tide, dressed in unique attire, their expressions hurried yet determined.

The elder of the Nine Emperors Pavilion had a keen eye, instantly spotting the members of the Demonic Cult engaged in a fierce battle with the White Dragon Cult and the Sun-Moon Sect. His gaze instantly sharpened, and without hesitation, he waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, the Demonic Cult has committed countless evil deeds. Today, we will aid the White Dragon Cult and the Sun-Moon Sect and wipe them out!" His voice echoed in the empty cave, filled with strength and determination.

The men of the Nine Emperors Pavilion responded in unison, weapons drawn, their gleams gleaming with cold light. Like a group of fierce warriors, they charged towards the demonic cultists. Seeing this sudden turn of events, the demonic cultists' faces suddenly changed, their eyes filled with fear and anger. The man in the black robe, embroidered with the image of Taowu, had a ferocious expression on his face and roared viciously, "Damn it! We've fallen into a trap! Retreat! Run to the central tower!" With that, he turned and took the lead, madly fleeing towards the tower.

The demonic cult members, panicked and disoriented, ran for cover. As they passed the mysterious eggs, their panic and frenzy overwhelmed them. Some simply stepped on them, crackling with a clatter, sending thick, viscous liquid splattering everywhere, emitting a strange smell. Others snatched up eggs and hurled them like hidden weapons at the pursuers. The eggs arced through the air, carrying an unknown, mysterious power that sent the pursuers scurrying for cover.

At this moment, several deafening roars suddenly rang out. These roars, as if emanating from the depths of hell, carried with them boundless rage and majesty, instantly halted the waves of troops present. Everyone's heart was beating violently, threatening to burst out of their throats. They dared not breathe, fear spreading like a tide.

A massive head slowly emerged from the hole in the ground. Everyone's gaze was drawn to this terrifying sight, their pupils shrinking sharply, their faces filled with terror. It was a massive lizard, its head alone already half the size of the room. Its rough scales gleamed with a cold sheen in the dim light, and its triangular eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty glint that sent shivers down their spines. Immediately afterwards, large lizards began to crawl out from the other holes, varying in size, some as tall as a man. Their claws carved deep scars into the ground, and with every step, the ground trembled slightly.

"Run!" Someone shouted first, a cry that seemed to break the spell of fear, instantly waking everyone from their trance. Everyone began to run for their lives. The clatter of footsteps, shouts, and the roars of the monsters blended together, plunging the entire space into chaos. The lizards, their maws gaping, sharp fangs bared, pounced frantically at the crowd. Each bite was accompanied by a scream, and blood splattered the ground, staining the mysterious land red.

At the same time, half-human, half-scorpion monsters crawled out from holes in the wall. These creatures were large, their hard shells gleaming coldly in the dim light. Their thick claws opened and closed, making a clicking sound, like a countdown to death.

When the people from the White Dragon Cult and the Sun and Moon Sect saw these monsters, they turned pale with fright and shouted in horror: "It's these monsters! The ones we encountered in the cave! Their shells are extremely hard and their power is extremely huge. We are no match for them at all!" Their voices were filled with despair and fear, the weapons in their hands began to tremble slightly, and their bodies involuntarily retreated.

Lin Feng and the other three, hiding at the cave entrance, involuntarily shrank back a bit upon seeing this scene. The scene before them was truly horrific, like a nightmare come true. Chen Xiner's body trembled slightly as she clutched Lin Feng's arm tightly, her nails practically digging into his flesh. Her eyes were filled with fear as she spoke, "Lin Feng, this... this is too horrible. What should we do?" Lin Feng gently patted her hand and soothed her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." But his eyes also revealed a hint of nervousness and worry.

Just as everyone was panicking, another hole in the wall opened, and a large number of people suddenly poured out. Some were from Taixu Valley, dressed in Taoist robes, their expressions were panic-stricken, their hair disheveled, and they had obviously experienced a fierce battle; there were also people from some of the major families in the capital, all of them in a state of distress, ragged clothes, and bloodstained bodies; even members of the Li and Ding families of Lingyuan City were among them. It was obvious that the Li and Ding families were basically all dead, with only Ding Junhao and Li Zhe still alive. Their bodies were covered in scars and blood, and their eyes were filled with confusion and fear. The people brought by the major families in the capital were also over half dead or injured, and every face was filled with exhaustion and despair.
