105: The battle was at a stalemate, and Changxing made unusual movements.

"Boom!"

Li Changxing's heavy punch collided fiercely with the shrimp monster's giant pincer, producing a deafening clang of metal!

The shrimp monster's pincer shattered, its carapace fragments flying, and its entire body was sent flying backward by the violent force, knocking over several of its kind.

Li Changxing didn't retreat a single step. He reached back and grabbed a tentacle that was silently curling around his ankle, then pulled with immense force, dragging a lurking Tentacle Monster out of its hiding place and slamming it onto the rock, sending fluids splattering!

Song Shuwen's True Fire of the Sun battle blade was like the scythe of the grim reaper; each swing brought a wave of scorching heat.

A toad-like Yao creature attempting to spray venom was scorched and carbonized instantly by the passing flame blade, while several crab-like monsters, relying on their hard carapaces to charge and attack, had the True Fire infiltrate their joint gaps, causing them to explode from within!

Song Shuyao steadily guarded the core. Her Yin power not only formed barriers but also occasionally transformed into invisible, icy chains, silently coiling around fast-moving fish-shaped Yao creatures, slowing their movements so Li Changxing or Song Shuwen could easily kill them. Other times, it condensed into chilling, bone-piercing Moon Essence Rays, accurately sniping those malevolent beings releasing long-range attacks from a distance.

Li Yinglong did not immediately go all out. His gaze was like a torch, calmly sweeping across the entire battlefield.

He estimated that the individual strength of most of these Yao creatures was at the Core Condensation Realm, which, according to the classification of Yao Beasts in the records of strange tales of the universe, meant they could condense a Demonic Core within their bodies as a source of Demonic Qi storage, possessing the Innate ability to absorb various energies and thus Cultivate.

Their Realm might not seem high, but the inherent physical strength of Yao Beasts was their greatest reliance, innately stronger than Human Race Cultivators.

Human Race Cultivators primarily relied on systematic Cultivation methods and various immortal arts to establish their influence.

These Yao creatures, however, excelled in their vast numbers, diverse types, strange coordination, and seemed utterly ignorant of fear, charging forward one after another.

His spiritual sense was like an invisible net, meticulously perceiving the energy fluctuations, attack methods, and even the subtle but existing coordination among each Yao creature.

"Not a disorganized mob..."

Li Yinglong's heart was solemn:

"There is indeed a commander, but that commander... is hidden extremely deep!"

His overlord spear occasionally thrust out, and a wisp of condensed Azure Dragon Primordial Energy shot forth like an arrow from a bowstring, precisely piercing the head of a Yao creature attempting to organize a pincer attack or unleash a special ability, instantly disrupting its local offensive rhythm.

The battle was exceptionally brutal.

Yao creature limbs, broken carapaces, and foul-smelling bodily fluids splattered everywhere, further staining the black rocks.

Though the four were strong, the number of Yao creatures was simply too great, continuously surging from the sea and the depths of the rock caves, as if they were inexhaustible.

"Clan Chief! There are too many of them! Continuing like this is disadvantageous to us!"

Song Shuwen cleaved a Bone Blade Monster in half and shouted in a deep voice. His True Fire of the Sun still blazed fiercely, but his Aura was no longer as harmonious as it was initially.

Beads of sweat also seeped from Song Shuyao's smooth forehead; maintaining a large-scale Yin barrier consumed a great deal of energy.

Li Changxing, on the other hand, was fighting with increasing fervor, his body covered in viscous demonic blood, the red glow in his eyes growing brighter, and his attacks becoming more ferocious. He often exchanged injuries for lives. He already had several wounds on his body, but they writhed and stopped bleeding quickly, as if an endless supply of energy supported him.

This kind of battle, with a continuous influx of flesh and blood vitality, instead became the foundation for his infinite endurance, yielding the most prominent results.

Li Yinglong's gaze swept across the battlefield, then looked towards the depths of the island.

"We can't get entangled here."

His thoughts raced, and he made a decision instantly.

"Follow me! Push into the island! Find the source!"

Before his voice faded, his Aura suddenly changed!

A more magnificent Azure Dragon Primordial Energy surged skyward, his mysterious robe billowing, and he struck out with a palm!

"Rumble!"

An extremely condensed Azure Dragon-shaped Qi roared out, smashing fiercely into the swarm of Yao creatures directly in front of the four!

The colossal sound shook the heavens!

It forcibly carved out a temporary path through the dense Yao tide!

"Go!"

Li Yinglong let out a low roar, leading the charge, and rushed along the path!

Song Shuyao and Song Shuwen followed without hesitation, executing their Yin and Yang Flowing Light Evasion to the extreme, transforming into two streams of light, one cool and one scorching, guarding the left and right flanks.

Li Changxing roared, his fists swinging repeatedly, smashing away the last few obstructing Yao creatures, and brought up the rear.

The four, like sharp arrows, fiercely tore through the encirclement of Yao creatures, charging towards the dark, deep, and most malevolent heart of this bizarre island!

The surrounding scenery rapidly receded; jagged rocks and slimy algae clumps blurred into dark shadows.

However, the deeper they went, the more concentrated the strange energy pervading the air became, like an invisible swamp, not only hindering the detection of spiritual sense but also continuously attempting to erode their minds, causing irritation and suppression.

Li Yinglong frowned, attempting to communicate with the System in his Sea of Consciousness:

"System, scan for the most concentrated energy core here, guide the direction."

[Command confirmed. Initiating comprehensive environmental energy scan... Warning! Detecting ultra-high concentration, extremely chaotic and mixed unknown energy field. Severe spectrum interference. Numerous source points in high-speed movement and changing states... Unable to perform precise positioning. Scan results severely interfered with, credibility below 10%]

The System's feedback was cold and disappointing.

The energy environment here was so chaotic that even the System found it difficult to penetrate the mist and provide effective guidance.

"Clan Chief?"

Song Shuyao noticed Li Yinglong's momentary pause and cast an inquiring gaze.

Yin clear light flowed around her, as she desperately resisted the erosion of external energy, her face slightly pale.

The True Fire of the Sun in Song Shuwen's hand flickered, its scorching Aura burning the approaching foul Qi with sizzling sounds, but his brows were also tightly furrowed, clearly indicating his perception was similarly obstructed.

Li Changxing, however, appeared somewhat anxious. He constantly looked around, his nostrils twitching, as if catching some special scent in the air. The eyes, increasingly tinged with a red glow, were filled with a primitive vigilance and an inexplicable craving.

"The energy here is chaotic, and spiritual sense cannot reach far."

Li Yinglong said in a deep voice, his gaze sharp as he scanned the maze-like dark rock canyons and caves ahead:

"Unable to precisely sense the source, we must rely on experience and intuition to explore."

Upon hearing this, Song Shuyao and Song Shuwen's expressions grew even more solemn. Losing clear direction in such an unknown perilous place undoubtedly greatly increased the risk.

Just then, Li Changxing's body suddenly stiffened!

He abruptly turned his head, looking towards a canyon on the left, shrouded in the shadow of a huge twisted reef, and let out a low growl, almost like a wild beast.

That strange sensation of familiarity and craving, which had briefly appeared when they first landed on the island, surged into his heart again like a tide, stronger than any previous time!

It was as if something in that direction was intensely calling out to something dormant deep within his Bloodline!

"That way!"

Li Changxing almost instinctively roared out. Before his voice fell, he had already turned direction first and rushed towards that shadowed canyon, his speed even a few points faster than when they were breaking through earlier!

"Changxing!"

Li Yinglong was caught off guard, greatly alarmed!

Li Changxing's state was clearly abnormal at this moment; the red glow almost overflowing from his eyes and his almost instinctive actions all revealed an unusual strangeness.

But there was no time to think carefully. He absolutely could not allow Li Changxing to venture into danger alone.

"Follow him! Stay alert!"

Li Yinglong made a decisive move, his mysterious robe unfurled, transforming into a wisp of green smoke, and he chased after him.

Although Song Shuyao and Song Shuwen were surprised and suspicious, they did not hesitate, operating their Yin and Yang Flowing Light Evasion to the maximum, following closely behind Li Yinglong, one on the left and one on the right, while fully sensing their surroundings to guard against sudden changes.

Li Changxing led the way, his movements becoming exceptionally agile, as if he had a natural adaptability to the rugged and complex terrain, always managing to avoid hidden pits and slippery mossy areas in advance.

The four sped along, and surprisingly, encountered no further Yao creatures blocking their path. It was as if this area was a forbidden zone for those frenzied sea demons, so quiet that only the sound of the wind and the dull crash of waves against the reefs remained. This eerie silence, however, was even more unsettling.

Before long, the path suddenly opened up.

At the end of the canyon, an enormous, pitch-black cliff appeared, seemingly connecting the sky and the sea!

Beneath the cliff, sea waves eroded day and night, forming a bottomless reef cave entrance.

The cave entrance was jagged with strange rocks, like the ferocious teeth of a giant beast. Its interior was deep and dark, as if it could swallow even light, and cold air with a strong salty and decaying smell continuously surged out from within.

Li Changxing abruptly stopped at the entrance of this cave.

His chest heaved violently, his breathing heavy, as he stared intently at the dark opening, red light flickering in his eyes. That intense calling sensation was coming from deep within this cave!

"Changxing!"

Li Yinglong arrived in an instant, gripping Li Changxing's shoulder. Powerful yet gentle Dragon Primordial Energy flowed into his body, helping him stabilize his somewhat restless and disordered Qi and blood. His gaze was sharp as a knife:

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly come here?"

Li Changxing suddenly snapped back to his senses, the red glow in his eyes receding slightly, revealing a hint of confusion and lingering fear. He gasped for breath, pointing at the cave entrance and saying:

"Clan Chief... I... I don't know either... I just feel, I feel there's something inside... a very... very strong feeling, very similar to the Aura of those powerful sea beasts I killed before, but... but it's also different, even... even more..."

He struggled to organize his words, but found it difficult to accurately describe the tremor originating from deep within his Bloodline.

"It's like... they're calling me... my instinct tells me I must come here..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yinglong's heart was filled with doubts.
