Qin Xiaochuan didn't know how to describe the three monsters in front of him. In general, they were somewhat like rhinoceroses, with a super large body, more than a meter wide and less than two meters high. Their limbs were very short but very thick, otherwise they wouldn't be able to support such a large chunk of flesh.

The monster had two large, fan-like ears, a nose that protruded forward, and a long, pointed horn. Qin Xiaochuan's fireball burned on the monster's pointed horn in the middle. In the firelight, you could see that the monster's two small eyes on its head were narrowed into slits. Presumably, after living underground for too long, their eyes had completely degenerated.

At this moment, three fat monsters were squeezed between the mountain walls, emitting deep, muffled growls, which should be a warning to the two.

Although it didn't know how strong these monsters were, it was really unwilling to give up such a natural haven that it had finally found. If it dragged on any longer, the little girl might catch a cold.

He pulled the little girl behind him and focused on preparing for defense. After observing them, he knew that these monsters were all thick-skinned and tough, and that ordinary skills would hardly be able to seriously injure them. Therefore, he had to be careful. It would be best to use "Explosive Flame Dance" to disrupt their formation the moment they launched their attack. Otherwise, if the monsters coordinated their attacks, he would be in a very passive position.

Qin Xiaochuan was intently observing the three monsters' every move, but to his surprise, the three monsters remained quietly in the ravine until the fireball was about to go out, without showing any sign of attacking, which made him somewhat anxious.

Just then, a series of loud roars suddenly came from the darkness in the distance, causing the three monsters to prick up their ears at the same time. Qin Xiaochuan quickly guessed that it was the sound of the fierce wind from earlier. Seeing that the monsters opposite him were a little careless, he quickly formed a few hand seals and unleashed a "Blazing Dance" skill at the three monsters.

As soon as the dark red fireball appeared in front of his chest, three monsters rushed out of the ravine at the same time. He immediately raised the Xuanwu Shield to prepare to meet the first wave of monster attacks. However, to everyone's surprise, after the monsters rushed out of the ravine, they immediately split to both sides and rushed into the darkness with their tails between their legs.

Watching the three monsters stagger away (their limbs were too short and their bodies too fleshy), Qin Xiaochuan was stunned for a long time. What? They were so cowardly.

Fortunately, they were all driven away. Although the smell inside the ravine was unpleasant, he didn't care much about that now. He cast a "Meteor Shower" spell inside the ravine and then said to Xiaoying, "Go inside and warm up, you won't be cold anymore." With that, he led the little girl into the ravine.

Because the three sides of the mountain wall had been heated to a scorching heat by Qin Xiaochuan's skills, being inside the mountain wall was like entering an oven. As soon as they entered, a fiery warmth enveloped the two of them.

"Ouch!" the little girl suddenly cried out, having accidentally bumped into a rock.

"Be careful, some of the rocks are still very hot. Dry your clothes here quickly, then we need to go out, otherwise Auntie and the others won't be able to find us." Qin Xiaochuan patted the little girl's head and said softly.

"Mmm." The little girl nodded seriously.

The two sat down on a rock and slowly waited for their clothes to dry. It was pitch black all around. To keep Xiaoying from being scared, he kept chatting with the little girl. During this time, he kept an eye out for any sounds outside, afraid of missing Han Kexin who had come down to find them. But until the clothes were dry, all he could hear was the faint sound of the river and the periodic rustling of the wind.

No one knows how those periodic winds formed; this underground world is truly full of eeriness.

After drying the clothes, Qin Xiaochuan led Xiaoying out of the ravine and headed towards the underground river. Just as they were getting close to the river, they suddenly heard a "splashing" sound ahead, as if some person or animal was walking through the water.

"Could it be Han Kexin and the others?" That was his first thought, so he immediately shouted, "Who is it?"

After he shouted those words, the river immediately fell silent, as if the sound had never existed and it was all just his hallucination.

But Qin Xiaochuan knew that what he had just witnessed was definitely not an illusion. If it wasn't Han Kexin and the others, then it could only be some kind of wild beast from underground.

Thinking of this, he decisively released a fireball in the direction of the sound. In the light of the fireball, he finally saw a figure, which made his heart skip a beat.

"Oh no, it's him!" Qin Xiaochuan thought inwardly with alarm. From the darkness ahead came Kawamoto Taro's sinister laughter: "What a small world, huh? Hehehe."

"Let me warn you beforehand, you'd better not even think about running away." Kawamoto Taro's smug laughter came from the darkness again, as if he had already guessed what he was thinking.

In this situation, Qin Xiaochuan naturally didn't care what the other person said. He picked up Xiaoying and ran away.

"Flare!" Kawamoto Taro shouted, and a bright light suddenly burst open from the sky, instantly dispelling all the darkness and illuminating a large area. Even the distant mountain walls were faintly visible. The sudden appearance of the bright light startled many underground creatures, and for a moment, the sounds of underground animals running could be heard from all directions.

"I already warned you, don't run away, because it's completely useless." Kawamoto Taro shouted, and then the huge demon mask flew towards Qin Xiaochuan with a "screech".

After all, it was an A-level skill. Qin Xiaochuan knew that he couldn't completely block it with just the Qilin Armor, so he could only quickly dodge to the side. The Ghost Mask flew past him with a whoosh, then turned around in front of him, opened its big mouth, and a white ball of spiritual energy appeared in its mouth again.

"I will absolutely not let you escape from my grasp, hahaha." Kawamoto Taro laughed loudly behind the two of them.

Qin Xiaochuan cautiously observed the white spiritual energy ball. Last time, even with two layers of defense, he was still blown away, demonstrating its power. If he allowed it to explode on him, even with the Qilin Armor, he would inevitably suffer serious injuries. At this moment, it was indeed impossible for him to escape easily.

Qin Xiaochuan raised the Xuanwu Shield in front of him and said to Xiaoying, "Xiaoying, remember what your uncle said. When I put you on the ground, run towards the mountain wall and hide where we were drying clothes."

"Uncle, I'm not leaving."

"Let me finish!" He didn't linger with the little girl, quickly took out the Jade of Inspiration from his body and put it in her hand. "If you infuse your spiritual power into this jade, your aunt will come looking for you."

"Uncle, I..."

Just then, the white spiritual energy ball stopped on Qin Xiaochuan's tan shield again. Just like last time, the explosion of the spiritual energy ball had a brief delay. During this brief moment, he quickly adjusted his body's direction and turned the shield towards Kawamoto Taro.

boom!

The white energy ball exploded, and with the force of the recoil, Qin Xiaochuan jumped back four or five meters. He then quickly put Xiaoying on the ground. "Run!"

"Uncle, I won't leave." The little girl's eyes were filled with tears.

"Run!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted coldly at her with a stern face. Perhaps because his expression was too ugly, the little girl finally took a step and ran towards the mountain wall.
