129: Strange Temple

Three minutes later.

A temple with Buddhist light soaring into the sky appeared ten thousand meters away.

It was more stylish and eye-catching than a firefly in the dark night.

Like a flirtatious young lady with her "slender legs" half-exposed, smiling sweetly at you and beckoning with a finger.

Incredibly tempting, yet also incredibly like a honey trap.

The ten-thousand-meter distance vanished in an instant, leaving no time to think.

The moment Xu Le put away the Little Peach Tree, three identical Clones appeared beside him.

Clone Number One grabbed the three of them and threw them forcefully toward the temple;

As the strength was about to run out, Clone Number Two took over, using all its power to throw the two of them, while the two kicked off Clone Number Two's shoulders;

Following the same pattern, Xu Le kicked off Clone Number Three's shoulder, while Clone Number Three used all its strength to push him toward the temple.

Seeing that they were about to rush into the temple's range, the Orangutan produced a huge rock out of thin air and smashed it over, while it used the reaction force to continuously retreat toward the temple.

Then came the second and third huge rocks.

Xu Le barely dodged two rocks. When he couldn't dodge the third, another Clone appeared, blocking the rock with its back while turning to pull the original body.

Close!

Just as Xu Le was about to flap his wings with all his might, a chill rose in his heart. A "Chain Lightning" blasted out, but a huge Spider web blocked the way ahead.

Two Clones appeared again. Before they could get close to the giant web, three tentacles threw a net each.

Like a butterfly net, it stuck the three of them with a gentle shake.

A direct hit.

The Octopus was overjoyed. Its three tentacles rose high, whipping the three back into the depths of the void wind.

Seeing Xu Le struggling violently, unable to break free from the sticky and tough net, the corner of its mouth couldn't help but widen.

With a flip, it jumped into the temple.

Then it immediately looked at the Cockroach with expectant eyes, its eight tentacles rubbing together excitedly.

The Orangutan and the Spider also looked at the Cockroach excitedly. One must know that what the other party promised was a life-saving divine medicine; otherwise, they wouldn't have set aside their differences and acted together.

Suddenly, the expressions of the three "people" changed drastically as they saw Xu Le appear out of thin air behind the Cockroach.

The Cockroach didn't suspect any trickery; if they were going to make a move, they would have pushed it into the void wind earlier.

It immediately used its life-saving skill. Its eighty-meter-long body instantly shattered and decomposed into tens of thousands of cockroaches, fleeing in all directions.

The Little Black Snake appeared out of thin air and immediately used its Elephant Swallowing skill, swallowing most of the cockroaches in the middle.

Xu Le split into over a thousand Clones to attack the remaining cockroaches together, but even so, several thousand cockroaches managed to escape.

They then hid in the distance and laid eggs on the spot. In less than ten seconds, they recovered to a scale of tens of thousands and returned to the previous eighty-meter state.

A thousand "what the fucks" galloped through Xu Le's heart.

How was he supposed to fight this?

As long as one small Cockroach escaped, it would probably be completely resurrected in less than a day.

This could be considered an alternative form of Rebirth from a Drop of Blood in novels.

Even with Nine Phoenix's "Raise Fire to Burn the Heavens" and "Earth Fire Flowing Slurry," he wasn't confident he could prevent even a single small Cockroach from escaping.

Not only Xu Le, but the other three Void Creatures also had looks of shock in their eyes.

Setting aside combat power, this recovery ability could be called Heaven-Defying.

The battle stopped as soon as it began. The one human and four monsters were wary of each other and did not strike again.

Xu Le didn't dwell on it, knowing that failing to kill the Cockroach instantly meant he had missed his chance.

Outside, the void wind was still blowing violently.

He looked at the surrounding courtyards and found that this place looked more like an elegant miniature garden than a Buddhist temple.

Pavilions, small bridges over flowing water, hollowed-out flower walls that separated yet didn't isolate, bamboo and plum trees planted in the corners, none of it repetitive... however, he didn't enter the main gate, nor did he even look at it.

This temple had looked truly eerie before; he didn't have the slightest desire to explore it.

He simply summoned the Little Peach Tree, took out a lounge chair, and brewed a pot of tea beside it to drink by himself.

The four Void Creatures watched this peculiar scene but didn't rush over, nor did they explore the temple.

However, Xu Le knew there would be another battle between them, and that battle would occur after leaving the temple.

Time passed second by second.

Three days went by.

The four Void Creatures looked at the void wind outside the wall in surprise.

The Orangutan was the first to get impatient. A huge rock appeared in its hand, and it threw it fiercely outside the courtyard.

Crack, crack, crack... The rock was quickly smashed to pieces by the dust and debris in the wind, scattered in all directions.

Clearly, the wind hadn't stopped.

The Void Creatures were very anxious, looking very much like poor students who couldn't leave after the bell rang.

The Cockroach even stubbornly split off a small Cockroach to fly out, but it was torn to shreds in an instant and vanished in the wind.

"Could it be that, theoretically, this wind should have stopped?"

Xu Le reached a conclusion. After thinking for a moment, he summoned the Little Dog and had it split into three Clones to leave from three different walls.

The result was the same; as soon as they went over the walls, they completely disappeared.

Seeing this, the four Void Creatures became even more anxious, pacing back and forth and occasionally stepping over each other's territorial red lines.

Time slowly passed.

Another day went by.

After Xu Le finished his cup noodles, he collected the packaging for the ham and braised egg and threw them into his space ring.

The four Void Creatures withdrew their gazes, their looks toward the outside becoming even more urgent.

Xu Le, full of food and water, stretched.

The food he carried had been mostly consumed over these few months; fortunately, the Tang Family members had left him plenty of food, otherwise he would have had to consider rationing.

But these four Void Creatures hadn't eaten a bite these past few days; he wondered if they were hungry.

The Octopus took out a stone and passed it over the courtyard wall; the stone was instantly cut through.

Clearly, the wind outside hadn't stopped.

The Void Creatures became even more anxious, glancing toward the temple doors from time to time, clearly wanting to go inside the main hall to take a look.

Xu Le also began to suspect this temple.

These four Void Creatures looked like they had lived for at least a hundred years; their experience was incredibly rich.

They had judged yesterday that the wind should stop; a hundred years of experience couldn't just change overnight, could it?

"Could it be an Evil Buddha?"

"Is there something here like a Divine Domain?"

"Or is the wind outside just an illusion, and the things torn to shreds were actually destroyed by a hidden Formation on the courtyard walls?"

Countless thoughts flowed through Xu Le's mind. His confusion grew, and he couldn't calm down at all.

The Void Creatures moved their limbs, tentacles, and antennae, beginning to communicate.

Xu Le couldn't understand them at all; he guessed a little, but was then confused by their familiar gestures.

The four Void Creatures seemed to have reached an agreement, as they stayed in their own territories to concentrate and calm their spirits.

Another day passed.

The four Void Creatures walked to within three meters of Xu Le, gesturing and drawing. Xu Le half-guessed and half-deduced, finally confirming that they were inviting him to join them.

Looking at their posture, if he didn't agree, a battle would likely be unavoidable.

One against four was not the action of a wise man.

Since Xu Le also wanted to explore the temple, he chose to agree.
