Young Master Lei was also dumbfounded.
"Weren't you injured? You were beaten by your father earlier, and I was using Wood-attribute lightning to heal your injuries.
In our current situation, if we are injured, we might not be able to hold on."
After speaking, Wan Lei summoned the thunderclouds and continued to descend Wood-attribute lightning to heal the injuries of the two of them.
"Oh, is that so? I thought..."
"You thought I was hitting you? Am I the type of domestic abuser?"
"Hmph, you hit me often... there."
"Pah, it's clearly you who abuses me more. That stick of yours, good heavens, it's as thick as an arm..."
"Cough cough..."
The little yellow dog on the side gave a few awkward dry coughs.
"The tone is wrong. It should be a tone of oppressive despair right now. You two shouldn't be flirting; otherwise, the readers will curse us."
The centipede swarms around them grew larger and larger, madly attacking them. The scent of their flesh and blood was as tempting as the most precious delicacies.
Half an hour later, the centipede swarm was wiped out.
Lei Yu and the other had a rare moment to catch their breath.
Not long after, rustling sounds came from the darkness again.
The third wave of monsters had arrived.
Unsurprisingly, the third wave of monsters was at the Core Formation realm.
These monsters were difficult to describe as either animals or people. They were not human in form, yet they were made up of many people.
Because they were...
Composed of many human bodies.
Arms, legs, chests, heads...
All of them were twisted and stuck together.
They couldn't stand and could only crawl on the ground.
They crawled very quickly, and the heads stuck to various places roared, cried, and bellowed...
As if they had suffered extremely inhuman abuse in life.
Their resentment filled the air.
"These things... they look truly disgusting."
Wan Lei grinned, forcefully suppressing the urge to vomit.
No matter how tragic the battlefield, it was not as terrifying and disgusting as these things before them.
The two attacked again, shattering these incoming monsters one by one.
Perhaps it was because these monsters looked so disgusting, but they spared no effort in their attacks, aiming to kill them with a single blow, shattering them directly.
Another half an hour later, they had killed all these monsters.
By this time, the darkness had encroached upon the light until it was only a few dozen feet in radius.
Wan Lei had to shrink the formation to leave buffer space for combat.
"Doggy, the next wave will be Nascent Soul realm monsters, which cannot be easily killed with a single blow. While we have this chance, quickly tell me everything you know."
"Alright."
The little yellow dog nodded.
"This Wood Immortal, I've mentioned before, she was the kindest and most gentle woman in the team, and a moral beacon.
Her Dao, was the path of light and hope, primarily focusing on light.
It was precisely because of her presence that she brought light and hope to their team, constantly encouraging and guiding the team members onto the right path.
That was in the realm of Morality.
They were entrusted by the sinners to awaken the will of the Nest of Sin.
They experienced numerous difficulties and dangers, and even rescued me along the way. In the end, outside the core area, they encountered the Hundred Streams Maze.
It wasn't exactly a maze, but a place filled with darkness and hurricanes.
There, they were separated.
Some met companions, while others were alone.
She was fragile, sensitive, and timid. She had no companions by her side. In the endless darkness, exactly like this one, she resisted the hurricane, frightened and cautious.
The hurricane eroded her body and ravaged her will.
In the darkness, let alone getting lost, they didn't even know if there was a path.
Ultimately, she despaired.
She was accustomed to relying on companions, so she sat on the ground, lowered her head, hugged her knees, and sobbed and whimpered, no longer struggling, just sitting there...
Waiting for companions to find her,
Or...
Waiting to die.
In the end, I don't know what she comprehended, but she illuminated the entire dark area, igniting hope for everyone.
She transformed into light, the light of hope in the endless darkness.
She no longer relied on others, but instead became a reliance for others.
This was her supreme Dao,
Light, hope."
After the little yellow dog finished speaking, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu fell into a long silence.
"This place... should be a scene created by her, identical to the one she experienced. Her inheritance is hope, it is light.
She probably hopes we can be like her, to comprehend light, illuminate the darkness, and achieve her Dao."
Wan Lei analyzed.
However, everyone understood the principle: not giving up hope in adversity. But putting it into practice was another matter entirely. Who knew how she comprehended it at that time, or what kind of experience her state of mind went through.
"Wan Lei... do you think our Divine Light Technique is affecting our comprehension? Do we need to be completely immersed in darkness to comprehend light?
It's like surviving a desperate situation, that should be the logic behind it."
Fang Xiaoyu said, but Wan Lei directly shook his head.
"That's not right. This kind of enlightenment has too much coincidence; it cannot be forced. The more we try, the more we will go astray. It's better to let nature take its course.
If the Divine Light Technique were truly affecting our enlightenment, then a big guy should appear right now to completely extinguish this light source, to help us successfully enlighten.
After all, I am the protagonist, and at this time, something should appear to help me."
Wan Lei's expression was somewhat smug, completely ignoring the side effects of the protagonist's halo.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps echoed from the darkness.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
It was the sound of one person walking, not a group.
They looked up, and in the darkness, two balls of eerie blue flames drifted over.
Fang Xiaoyu picked up her laser gun and fired a shot in the direction of the flames.
Boom!
It sounded like she hit something, but nothing could be seen.
Finally...
"Roar!!!"
A skeleton ten feet tall, wielding a giant axe, appeared in the faint light.
Those two balls of flames were precisely what emanated from the skeleton's eyes.
"You... you really are a jinx. Don't you know that the protagonist's halo helps you while also bringing you something even more terrifying?
I can't even sense this thing's cultivation. What is its combat power?"
"We'll know after a fight. Damn it, what happened to the promised Nascent Soul realm monsters? Why is there a big guy instead?"
Wan Lei picked up his hammer.
"I propose we sew up Wan Lei's mouth from now on, so he doesn't keep triggering the protagonist's halo's passive."
The little yellow dog suggested opportunely.
The giant skeleton walked over, its great axe dragging on the ground, emitting a piercing scraping sound, like a cry from hell that made one's soul tremble.
Looking at this devilish figure, Lei Yu and the other felt fear spread through their bodies, their limbs turning soft.
Finally, the giant skeleton raised its great axe, leaped up...
