Chapter 580: Taking Advantage of the Fire!
Whether the three of them could escape, Liu Yu was not sure in his heart.
This not only required strength, but also depended on whether the "trump cards" were effective and if there was enough "luck."
"I hope that those teammates don’t all perish inside; it would be best if one or two can escape," he thought to himself.
If all three teammates were trapped inside and it was just himself and Zhuo Mengzhen on the road ahead, the journey would undoubtedly be too difficult.
In order to obtain more information and to have more friends to share the burden in case of danger, Liu Yu chose to wait for three hours.
However, once the time was up and the three of them still hadn’t appeared, he would leave without hesitation.
If they did not show up within the appointed time, it would basically mean that the three had encountered misfortune.
Choosing to wait any longer would rapidly increase the risks he had to bear.
Originally, it would be most beneficial for Liu Yu and Zhuo Mengzhen to flee directly, but considering the future, choosing to wait was already showing great benevolence.
At this moment, it was not about abandonment.
In the temporary cave dwelling below the small lake, the two fell into a moment of silence.
Zhuo Mengzhen stared blankly at the white "Spirit Communication Jade," not knowing what to think, looking troubled.
From running away split from the ten thousand demons formation, to the life-and-death struggle hanging by a thread, and then being rescued by Liu Yu, she still felt a lingering fear.
Everything had happened too quickly, leaving her unprepared.
Even with her golden core cultivation, she felt helpless against the previous situation; this was a feeling this proud female cultivator had never experienced before.
It was like a small boat in the vast ocean, every aspect of life and death was beyond her control, relying instead on an ethereal luck.
If Liu Yu hadn’t stepped in, she couldn’t imagine the outcome.
Facing the cruel reality, after a series of setbacks, this usually proud female cultivator fell silent.
Her spirit and energy had clearly decreased a notch.
Zhuo Mengzhen realized that relying solely on her own strength was utterly insufficient to cope with the upcoming dangers.
"Perhaps, I can only rely on..."
Thinking of Liu Yu’s impressive display against the demonic creatures, she secretly glanced over, silently pondering.
But soon, she calmed her mind, no longer indulging in wild thoughts, holding a spiritual stone, and quietly adjusting her breathing to continue recovering her magical power.
She was not extravagant enough to use third-tier spiritual elixirs to recover her magical power; her magical power had not yet fully recovered.
By the stone table, the two remained silent, striving to adjust their conditions.
Liu Yu’s magical power could be restored with elixirs, and his powerful physique allowed for a very rapid recovery of physical strength.
However, the recovery of his spiritual consciousness was not so quick.
Having taken too many Mind Nourishing Elixirs had completely lost their effect; now he could only slightly enhance his recovery speed through a feigned stupor.
After three hours, there might still be a fierce battle; he couldn’t afford to be careless.
In the quiet, an hour and a half quickly passed.
Suddenly, the dim "Spirit Communication Jade" lit up with a faint white spiritual light, slowly becoming brighter.
Liu Yu suddenly opened his eyes and saw this scene.
"Who is it?!"
He speculated in his heart and quickly grabbed the Spirit Communication Jade to sense the person's position.
"About seven to eight hundred miles from the temporary cave dwelling," Liu Yu quickly estimated the distance based on his sensing.
"Is it Mu Yunyan? Or High Sword Cold? Or perhaps the Old Daoist of the Azure Tower?!"
"Or is it..."
Thinking of the last possibility, he swiftly took out the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear, ready for action, with his magical power silently circulating.
At the same time, Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness, approaching the golden core pinnacle, instantly spread out from his forehead, observing the activity within a radius of ninety-nine miles.
