355: I want everyone to do me a favor
Upon hearing this, Hun Li looked at the huge energy barrier, and his tense body relaxed slightly.
"Brother Xiao Yan, just let him live a little longer."
Xun'er cast a cold glance at Hun Li and advised Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and the Qi floating around him gradually retracted into his body.
In his eyes, Hun Li was no different from a dead man.
Since everyone had to pass through the passage together, he would deal with him immediately after exiting the passage.
Hun Li said nothing and silently walked closer to the barrier.
"Have you encountered Lin Xiu?"
Gu Qingyang asked.
That person could fight Gu Tong to such an extent, so his Fighting Skill reserves must be vast. If he could be called to join them, their chances of breaking through this passage would definitely be greater.
Xiao Yan and Xun'er both shook their heads.
Xiao Yan pondered, "Perhaps Senior Lin Xiu went ahead."
"That possibility isn't ruled out, but then there should be a passage left on the wall. This wall can't possibly repair itself."
Gu Qingyang's suspicious gaze swept over the energy Sky Tomb.
A moment later, two people from the Stone Clan, two from the Lei Clan, a woman from the Yao Clan, and Huo Xuan from the Yan Clan also arrived.
"This trip has been so unlucky. We haven't seen many energy bodies, and we even encountered a Sky Tomb Great Storm."
Before Huo Xuan had even landed, his complaints drifted over.
He stood in front of the others, "Has anyone seen Huo Zhi?"
He paused, then specifically emphasized, "The woman who was with me earlier, with a veil over her face."
At this moment, the woman from the Yao Clan echoed, "Have you seen Yao Xingji?"
Everyone present shook their heads.
"Brother Lin hasn't arrived yet?"
Huo Xuan scanned the group, noticing one person missing.
Xiao Yan said uncertainly, "Senior Lin Xiu might have gone to the third level."
"Everyone."
Gu Qingyang's voice rose, attracting everyone's attention, "The Great Storm covers the entire second level. If we can't reach the third level, I'm afraid none of us will survive. I hope everyone can work together to break through this wall."
"I have no problem, but Huo Zhi's whereabouts are unknown right now."
Huo Xuan's face showed hesitation.
In the distance, the Great Storm, like an apocalypse, surged towards them with immense power.
"Brother Huo Xuan, almost the entire second level of the Sky Tomb is covered by the Great Storm."
Gu Qingyang's words were somewhat cryptic, but he believed Huo Xuan would understand.
"We need to hurry. The Great Storm is getting closer and closer. If we keep waiting, everyone will be in great danger."
Hun Li urged.
He had already tried earlier and knew that trying to pass through by himself would exhaust him.
"Let's get started."
Gu Qingyang called out to the others, arranged them into batches, and began to bombard the energy barrier with Fighting Skill.
Before long, a passage appeared before their eyes.
Xiao Yan and the others had already entered, and the woman from the Yao Clan also went inside.
At the entrance, Huo Xuan's lone figure seemed somewhat lonely.
"Brother Huo Xuan!"
Gu Qingyang called out to him.
"Coming."
Huo Xuan sighed. The Great Storm was getting closer and closer, and a sense of danger washed over him.
In this situation, with Huo Zhi still not appearing, it was likely she had met with misfortune.
He turned around and walked towards the passage. Looking up, he saw Xiao Yan and the others staring intently behind him.
"What are you looking at?"
Huo Xuan asked, puzzled, and at the same time, he looked back. In the Great Storm that connected heaven and earth, a beam of light, like sunlight piercing through dark clouds, shot through.
Whoosh!
The light moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already reached a few hundred meters away from them.
"Lin Xiu?"
"Senior Lin Xiu, he hasn't entered the third level yet?"
"He seems to be carrying someone in his arms."
Everyone present had different expressions.
"Huo Zhi?!"
As they got closer, Huo Xuan rushed forward, took the unconscious Huo Zhi, and looked at Lin Xiu with a puzzled gaze.
"She fainted after encountering the Great Storm. Luckily, I found her in time."
Lin Xiu explained casually.
Huo Xuan frowned, "How are you not afraid of the Great Storm?"
"My physique is very strong; I have Cultivated a body-tempering Fighting Skill."
Lin Xiu's expression was normal, "Let's go in first; the Great Storm is coming soon."
Without further questioning, Huo Xuan carried Huo Zhi into the passage.
Because the Great Storm was indeed getting closer and closer, a terrifying oppressive feeling had already spread.
"Continue!"
Gu Qingyang and another person from the Gu Clan buried their heads in attacking the energy barrier in front.
Huo Xuan, meanwhile, fed Huo Zhi a Medicinal Pill.
"Senior Lin Xiu, I didn't see you earlier, so I thought you had already gone to the third level."
Xiao Yan walked over.
He noticed that as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiu's expression became solemn.
"This wall isn't that simple."
Lin Xiu took out two energy cores, held them in his palms, and recovered his internal consumption.
"Not that simple?"
Xiao Yan didn't quite understand. He turned to look at Xun'er, who was from the Gu Clan and should know more about the Sky Tomb than he did.
However.
Xun'er was also stunned for a few seconds, not quite understanding.
A moment later, Gu Qingyang came down from his turn and walked to Lin Xiu's side, explaining his arrangements.
Lin Xiu nodded, saying nothing.
At this moment, the Great Storm had already reached outside the energy barrier, and its powerful force caused the barrier to tremble continuously.
After two rotations of people, Huo Zhi gradually woke up.
"You're finally awake."
Huo Xuan was visibly relieved.
"I'm not dead?"
Hearing the voice, Huo Zhi searched with her eyes, speaking with a hint of surprise in her tone.
Huo Xuan said, "Brother Lin rescued you from the Great Storm. What exactly happened? Didn't you go after the energy body? Why did you rush into the Great Storm?"
A hint of blankness flashed in Huo Zhi's eyes, and her gaze subconsciously drifted towards a figure not far away.
Suddenly, the Fire Lotus within her body trembled slightly, as if it was afraid of something.
So, the Red Lotus wasn't afraid of... A realization flashed in Huo Zhi's heart as she noticed Lin Xiu was also gazing at her at this moment.
"Hmm? What are you thinking about?"
Huo Xuan pressed, and at the same time, a hint of wariness rose in his eyes as he looked towards Lin Xiu.
"Nothing."
Huo Zhi gently shook her head, "I was ambushed. That energy body had companions. I wasn't their match, so I was forced to flee towards the Great Storm. I didn't expect to still have a chance to live."
As she spoke, she used her arm to support herself and sat up, subtly scanning her surroundings.
Yao Xingji wasn't there... "I advised you at the time, but you wouldn't listen."
Huo Xuan's expression softened slightly, and he actively walked towards Lin Xiu to express his gratitude.
Lin Xiu chuckled.
Everyone continued to open the passage.
During this interval, Huo Zhi took a few more Medicinal Pills, recovered much of her state, and also came to Lin Xiu's side, solemnly thanking him for saving her life from the Great Storm.
Lin Xiu smiled in response, his gaze sweeping over the barrier.
Seeing this, Huo Zhi was a little strange, "What are you looking for? Can you tell me? I can help."
"A type of insect."
Lin Xiu replied, a hint of confusion on his face.
In the past, as soon as he entered, those insects would swarm in like a tide.
Then, both sides would start to wear each other down.
But this time, they hadn't appeared.
"There can be insects in here?"
Huo Zhi was astonished, wondering if her ears were playing tricks on her and she had misheard.
The group continued to clear the way, and soon reached halfway.
"Brother Lin, it's your turn."
Gu Qingyang looked at him with a slight smile.
"Okay."
Lin Xiu stepped forward, passing by Hun Li, who actively took a step back to create distance.
However, Hun Li's eyes remained fixed on Lin Xiu.
Arriving at the front, Lin Xiu raised his arm, then suddenly stopped in mid-air, turned to look at everyone, "I need everyone's help with something."
Help?
Gu Qingyang and the others exchanged glances, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Hun Li's expression instantly tensed, and the clan tattoo on his forehead glowed as if breathing.
