Chapter - 3231

The black object moved with incredible speed, creating a powerful gust of wind that cut. across the group's faces like a knife.

Their faces were left with streaks of blood.

If the wind alone possessed such power, one could only imagine the strength of the black object itself!

Edurne's heart still fluttered with fear. Her face was pale, and she breathed rapidly.

The group looked at Zeke suspiciously. They couldn't understand how Zeke who w considered weak, had reacted so quickly

Zeke said, "Why are you just standing there! It's dangerous outside. Hurry back

At that moment, no one had time to question Zeke as they quickly retreated

However, they had only taken a few steps back when a loud rumble echoed from the cave behind them. It collapsed, blocking their escape route.

D*mn it, d*mn it! Edurne exclaimed angrily, "Who is trying to mess with us?"

Tanner suggested, "Let's dig quickly and create a tunnel. We still have a chance."

"Right, let's get moving." Edurne took the lead in digging out the collapsed cave.

Based on the momentum of the shadow they had encountered earlier, it was clear that their opponent's strength surpassed theirs.

Therefore, without hesitation, they chose to flee for their lives.

Unexpectedly, before they could even start digging, something rolled into the cave. entrance, emitting bursts of light.

What is that? Everyone looked towards the light, puzzled.

"It's a spiritual core!" Tanner recognized it immediately. He said, "It's a spiritual core from a demonic beast."

"Don't worry about it, keep digging." A demonic beast's spiritual core was not particularly unusual or strange. No one paid much attention and continued digging the escape tunnel.

However, only Zeke noticed something unusual about the demonic beast's spiritual core. He could vaguely sense that someone was continuously infusing spiritual energy into the pill.

Once the amount of spiritual energy reached the limit that the spiritual core could withstand, the spiritual core would explode.

Its power was equivalent to that of a Sun and Moon Class warrior detonating their life force.

Someone wanted to blow them up!

Zeke quickly said, "Stop digging forward and start digging upward. We need to escape!"

Edurne asked, "Why? We're about to break through. Wouldn't digging upward be walking into a trap?"

Zeke explained, "Someone is infusing spiritual energy into the spiritual core. They're trying to detonate it!"

Several people immediately sensed it. They could feel strands of spiritual energy.

"Run!" Edurne ordered, "Dig upward!"

Everyone abandoned the idea of digging an escape tunnel and started digging upward, aiming to escape through the new route.

Once the spiritual core exploded, the tunnel would likely collapse.

Suddenly, their opponent increased the speed of their spiritual energy input, and the spiritual core seemed ready to explode.

However, Edurne's group was digging too slowly to escape in time.

Zeke couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed the group, leaped up, easily broke through the soil, and escaped from the underground tunnel.

No sooner had they escaped from the cave than a thunderous boom echoed. The spiritual core had exploded.

The immense power of the explosion caused the cave to collapse, creating a large fissure on the ground. Dust and debris filled the air, obscuring the sun and sky.

The deafening sound continued to reverberate in everyone's ears.

A wave of fear washed over them.

Tanner couldn't help but exclaim, "D*mn, we're lucky we got out in time. A second later, and we might have been reduced to dust."

Alta agreed, saying, "Judging by the power of this explosion, the spiritual core must be from at least a Sun and Moon Class demonic beast."

Cullen asked, "Who threw the spiritual core into the cave, causing us trouble?"

Edurne looked at Zeke warily. "Speak. Who are you exactly, and why are you getting close to us? What is your purpose in deceiving us?"

Zeke calmly replied, "You already knew my identity beforehand, and besides, I've never lied to you."

Edurne said, "You're lying. If you were only a Celestial Class warrior, how could you have transported us out of the cave in an instant? Even we, who are at the Sun and Moon Class, can't accomplish this.”

Zeke admitted, "Alright, I confess. I have indeed deceived all of you."
