Chapter 121 A great show that makes the world feel pain

"Chu Yi! Chu Yi!"

The urgent shouting woke Chu Yi from his violent emotional fluctuations. When he came to his senses, he found that everything in front of him had changed.

There was no Lin Siyao, nor was there a cocoon. There were only rugged rocks and the old monkey’s face full of wrinkles.

"Just now... was it all an illusion?"

Chu Yi was almost exhausted, with his hands on his knees. His back was already soaked with cold sweat. He stared blankly at the fungal carpet on the ground that was wriggling like blood vessels, and he was panting like a broken bellows.

"This monster is the best at playing with people's hearts. As long as you are within the range of its power, you will fall into its trap if you are not careful."

The old monkey raised his foot and gently stepped on the fungus carpet on the ground. He said with an angry look in his eyes, "I was also caught just now. I saw a bunch of little monkeys surrounding me and calling me grandpa, and in the blink of an eye, they all turned into monsters."

Chu Yi did not say anything when he heard the old monkey's words, but an extremely strong murderous intent quickly grew in his heart.

Rage began to accumulate, his hands gradually clenched into fists, and his joints began to crack under the tremendous force.

In his life, Chu Yi had never been as angry as he was now.

"Calm down, kid. If you lose your mind over such a small situation, how are you going to face that monster later?" The old monkey stared at Chu Yi and said calmly.

"I am calm now. I calmly want to cut this bastard into pieces!"

Chu Yi raised his head, and his trembling body gradually returned to normal: "Let's move on."

"Hush!" The old monkey suddenly squatted down and turned his ears twice: "I heard the sound of fighting ahead!"

Upon discovering something unusual, the man and the monkey immediately crouched down and walked towards the depths of the Water Curtain Cave.

After arriving at the place, Chu Yi showed a surprised smile.

It was Lin Siyao and her group, accompanied by Ji Chen, Li Ming and Ross from America. The four of them were fighting fiercely with a dozen mutant macaques.

These macaques are not very strong or big in size, but they are extremely fast and can easily dodge the attacks from Lin Siyao and the others.

And because they were in the enemy's base camp, they didn't dare to use any powerful tactics.

"Old monkey, are we in a fantasy now?"

Chu Yi was so frightened by the horrifying vision just now that he didn't even dare to confirm whether he was awake or not.

The old monkey chuckled and said, "I don't know if it's an illusion or not, but if we delay any longer, the enemy's reinforcements will probably arrive."

"Forget it, it's just an illusion. The worst that can happen is that I'll be scared again!"

Chu Yi rubbed the giant stick in his hands and used a set of stick techniques that came from the sky, sweeping away all the macaques that were blocking his way.

"Chu Yi!"

When Lin Siyao saw the person coming, he immediately broke into a bright smile.

"Why are you here? Where are the others?"

Chu Yi asked everyone while waving his stick.

"It's a long story. Anyway, we are probably the only ones who haven't been caught yet."

Ji Chen answered while controlling the water column.

With the sudden appearance of a new force like Chu Yi, the pressure on the others was suddenly reduced, and they quickly dealt with all the mutant macaques in front of them.

At this time, the old monkey appeared, making Lin Siyao and others feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Chu Yi stopped him in time and said, "Don't be nervous, the old monkey is one of us."

"Are you sure?" Lin Siyao frowned and looked at the old monkey.

Except for the fact that there are no tentacles in its mouth, the old monkey looks not much different from other mutated giant apes.

Chu Yi nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, it saved my life. It's here to kill the culprit just like us."

"This is not the place to talk. Ahead is the tunnel leading to the underground palace. The treasure should be hidden at the end of the tunnel!"

The old monkey raised his hand and pointed to the dark cave in front.

Ross suddenly shouted excitedly: "You must be kidding, we just escaped from it!"

Li Ming also nodded: "Yes, there are almost all strange beasts in the process of transformation. It must be the monster's lair. If we go in now, we will be trapped!"

"So, other people are also locked up in there?" Chu Yi reacted quickly.

Ji Chen replied, "We fell into an illusion as soon as we entered the park. When we came to our senses, we found ourselves in the stomach of a giant monkey. Fortunately, Lin Siyao had a piece of thousand-year-old black ice given by her master, which froze the giant monkey into an ice sculpture. That's how we escaped."

"So you guys have been running and killing all the way to get here?" Chu Yi smiled helplessly after listening to Ji Chen and the others' experience. "Then it seems we have to go back, because there is a treasure hidden underneath that may be able to defeat that monster."

"We really have no other way to go. Whether it's to save our companions or to get rid of that monster, we must kill this sneak attack!" Lin Siyao chose to stand on Chu Yi's side without hesitation, turned around and took action directly.

The others also knew that they had no other choice, so they calmed down and followed.

I originally thought that this road leading to the monster's lair would be full of strange beasts and would definitely be very difficult to walk on.

But the actual situation was much smoother than Chu Yi had imagined. Apart from the ubiquitous red fungal carpet, he did not see anything abnormal.

"Everyone, be alert. I sense that there is an extremely large energy source ahead."

The old monkey's pace suddenly slowed down, and he reminded everyone with a cautious expression.

In fact, there was no need for the old monkey to remind him, because Chu Yi saw a huge cave entrance that was a hundred meters high appearing in front of him.

The scarlet fungal carpet covered the surface of the cave entrance, and together with the rugged rocks, it made the entrance look like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, which was daunting.

"Old monkey, do you know what is hidden in this cave?" Chu Yi asked as he walked.

The old monkey shook his head gently. "The cave behind the Water Curtain Cave is a forbidden area in the Flower-Fruit Mountain. No one is allowed to enter except the people with the destiny in the prophecy. I only know that there are treasures from ancient times hidden in it, but I don't know what they are."

"It's very big inside, like a palace. Xiaoqing told me that it sensed the presence of its own kind deep in the palace."

Ji Chen suddenly spoke at this time, and Chu Yi was shocked.

Isn’t Xiaoqing’s relative a dragon?

Could it be that there is an evil dragon lurking deep in this huge cave? !

Before Chu Yi could think about it, the palace that Ji Chen mentioned suddenly appeared in front of Chu Yi.

First, there are hundreds of wide steps, extending to a height of dozens of meters.

On the platform at the end of the stairs stands an extremely magnificent palace.

Although the exterior is covered with fungus, its flying eaves and the imposing nine-entry, nine-exit gate still show its grandeur. However, the cocoons standing on the stairs like guards add a strange color to this magnificence.

"Be careful, these cocoons contain strange beasts that may break out at any time." Lin Siyao said in a deep voice, and then carefully shuttled between the cocoons.

There are at least three hundred cocoons on the stairs. If they are all legendary beasts, I am afraid that if there is even the slightest disturbance, this place will become their burial place.

In order to avoid these cocoons, the group walked for ten minutes to cover a distance of just a few dozen meters.

When they reached the last step, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dragon… Palace?"

At this time, Ji Chen suddenly pointed to the plaque on the palace gate and said.

Because it was covered by fungal blanket, I couldn't see the plaque on the gate from a distance.

"It turns out that what Master said was true. The dragon clan's secret treasure is indeed hidden deep in the secret realm of Huaguo Mountain." Ji Chen's eyes showed a hint of excitement, but he soon became distressed.

The place where the treasure was buried was found, but there was also a divine pet lurking inside. Plus, there was no telling when the traitor Lin Mu would pop out, so it would be extremely difficult to get this secret treasure.

"Come and see if these are your companions."

The old monkey was not interested in the Dragon Palace and walked into the palace first. Then he saw dozens of slightly smaller cocoons in the courtyard.

The condition of these cocoons is different from those outside.

The cocoons outside seemed like dead objects, and there was no movement at all.

However, the cocoons in the courtyard kept pumping like hearts, emitting an eerie red light at all times.

When Chu Yi heard the old monkey's cry, he immediately walked forward and found that the people in the cocoon were indeed his missing companions.

Fortunately, although they were all unconscious, there was no abnormality in their bodies.

"If this cocoon is broken directly, will it hurt the person inside?"

Chu Yi raised his head and asked everyone, his clenched fists not knowing whether he should hit down or not.

"I don't know. When we were running away, we only had time to take a look at them. We didn't even have time to save them."

Lin Siyao and the others looked at each other, not knowing whether they should break out of the cocoon violently.

At this moment, a brain-filled demonic voice came from the depths of the palace: "You are here."

Chu Yi's body suddenly burst into Samadhi True Fire, and he shouted, "Come out, stop playing tricks!"

The next second, a familiar figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Lin...Mu!"

Li Ming shouted with red eyes, looking so hateful that he wanted to eat the other person alive.

"Why is Li Ming reacting so strongly?"

Chu Yi walked up to Lin Siyao and asked in a low voice.

Lin Siyao replied softly: "Captain Shen Bing was a volunteer teacher at Li Ming's school. We have a deep relationship."

Chu Yi understood instantly and stopped talking.

"I admire your courage to come back."

Lin Mu walked towards the crowd leisurely, as if he was walking in his own palace, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that you don't have enough courage. If you had chosen to attack deeper instead of running away, you might have had a chance to defeat me."

As he spoke, eight scarlet tentacles burst out from behind Lin Mu like blooming flowers, holding his body high in the air: "Now I have completed my evolution, I just need time to digest it, and my strength will be enough to rival that of a god!"

"Then why don't you find a dog hole to hide in, but dare to show up?" Chu Yi took a step forward, and Monkey Brother also appeared beside him. The man and the monkey were ready for battle.

"To admire my masterpiece, of course."

Lin Mu placed his right hand gently on his chin, with a smile on his face as elegant as that of an aristocratic gentleman: "Soon, the world's most elite geniuses will be buried here, and those powerful people who have gathered here will witness the death of their children with their own eyes, but they will be powerless to do anything. What a great performance this will be."

Chu Yi asked coldly, "So you went to great lengths to sneak into the expedition team just to do such a boring thing?"

"Boring?" Lin Mu's originally elegant face suddenly became distorted, "Do you know how much effort I put into planning all this?

As early as the moment I obtained the derivative of the Old One ten years ago, I had already started planning all of this!

Whether it is joining the Destruction Society and becoming the eighth deacon, becoming Anderson's informant, or gaining the trust of the Beast Tamer Union's top brass and becoming the expedition team's doctor, the realization of each step of the plan will take several years!"

At this point, Lin Mu helplessly supported his forehead with his hand, and said with a regretful tone: "I originally thought that you, who had the same experience as me, were one of the few confidants who could possibly understand me. Now it seems that you are just a mediocre person imprisoned by secular cognition."

Lin Mu raised his left hand, and scarlet energy shot up into the sky, passing through the thick stone wall and spreading above the sky, forming a giant screen like a movie screen.

All the people gathered outside the secret realm were attracted by the huge screen at this moment, looking at Lin Mu, the protagonist, in surprise.

"Once upon a time, I was just an insignificant ant. Those high and mighty people could manipulate my life as they pleased, and I didn't even have the right to say no."

Lin Mu lowered his head, his eyes full of fascination and joy for power: "But now I have been reborn!
After ten years of planning, I directed this chaos that affected all countries. At this time tomorrow, those powerful people who control more than 90% of the world's resources will feel the pain brought by me, an ant.

The offspring that they have cultivated with all their efforts, the offspring into whom they have poured all their love and kindness, the offspring that they regard as their precious treasures and pearls, will soon be like ants and will be crushed to death by me one by one.

And they could do nothing but cover their faces and cry.

Isn’t this a great performance?”

At this point, Lin Mu's eyes were already filled with madness.

It can be seen that he has been waiting for this day for many years.

Now that his great wish is about to come true, the ecstasy in his heart has made him a little crazy.

Or maybe he was just crazy to begin with, otherwise he wouldn't have done such an antisocial thing.

"Since your temper is quite to my liking, I can give you a chance to live."

Lin Mu, who thought he was invincible, smiled at Chu Yi and said that this was the first time he had shown kindness in all these years.

"What a great head, who should take it?!"

Chu Yi's aura was like the waves of the Yangtze River, rising stronger and stronger. His resounding voice was like the morning bell and evening drum: "If you want to crush me to death, you'll see if your hands are hard enough!"

Lin Mu shook his head with deep regret: "You are so stubborn. As punishment, I will let you die last and turn everything you saw in the illusion into reality."

Hearing this, Chu Yi's rage erupted like a volcano and he could no longer suppress it.
