The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 156 Mountain Expedition

Yun Yao, Chu Mochen and others stepped into the mysterious and dangerous mountains together. The sunlight shone through the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, but it did not add much warmth to the forest, but instead revealed an inexplicable gloom.

They moved forward cautiously, taking every step as lightly as possible, fearing to alert the danger hidden in the dark. Yun Yao held a magic sword in her hand, observing the movements around her vigilantly. Chu Mochen walked in front of the team, his expression grim, holding his magic weapon tightly in his hand, which was a spear emitting a faint cold light.

"Everyone be careful, the monsters here are not easy to deal with." Chu Mochen said in a low voice. Although his voice was light, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Everyone nodded and moved forward more cautiously.

Not long after walking, a low roar came from afar, echoing in the valley, making people shudder. Yun Yao's heart suddenly rose to her throat, she tightly grasped the spirit sword, her palms slightly sweaty.

"It seems like something is approaching." Yun Yao said nervously.

Chu Mochen stopped and listened attentively. After a moment, he said solemnly, "It's a group of Gale Wolves. Everyone, prepare to fight."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of Swift Wolves rushed out from the woods. They were agile and their eyes flashed with fierceness. The wolf in the lead was huge, a full circle larger than the other wolves. It raised its head and howled, then led the pack to pounce on everyone.

Chu Mochen rushed forward without hesitation, swung his spear, and a sharp energy shot towards the wolf pack. Several Swift Wolves in the front were hit by the energy and fell to the ground screaming. But the wolf pack did not retreat, but pounced on them even more frantically.

Yun Yao was not to be outdone, she used her sword skills, the spirit sword drew a series of rays of light in the air, stabbing at the rushing wind wolf. Her sword skills were agile and sharp, and each sword accurately stabbed the wolf's vital parts.

Other disciples also joined the battle. For a while, the forest was filled with sword energy and magic weapons flashing. Although the Swift Wind Wolf was fierce, everyone cooperated well and gradually gained the upper hand.

However, just when they thought they were about to repel the wolves, the leading Wind Wolf suddenly roared, its body began to swell, its hair became harder, and a strange light flashed in its eyes.

"Oh no, the Wind Wolf King is going crazy." Chu Mochen shouted.

The Wind Wolf King pounced towards Chu Mochen fiercely, its speed was as fast as lightning, and its claws were sharp and cold. Chu Mochen quickly raised his spear to block it, and the spear collided with the wolf king's claws, making a loud noise. The powerful impact made Chu Mochen retreat a few steps.

Seeing this, Yun Yao immediately flew over to support Chu Mochen. The spirit sword in her hand stabbed at the eyes of the Wind Wolf King, and the Wolf King had to dodge sideways. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Mochen launched another attack, and his spear was like a dragon emerging from the sea, stabbing at the Wolf King's abdomen.

The wolf king jumped away swiftly, then turned and pounced on Yun Yao. Yun Yao nimbly dodged the wolf king's attacks, while constantly looking for opportunities to counterattack. She found that after the wolf king went crazy, although his strength increased, his movements also became a little slow, so she used her speed advantage to constantly move around the wolf king, looking for its flaws.

After a fierce battle, Yun Yao finally found an opportunity. When the wolf king pounced on her again, she dodged sideways, and then stabbed the wolf king's back with the spirit sword in her hand. The spirit sword pierced deeply into the wolf king's body, and the wolf king let out a painful scream.

Chu Mochen took the opportunity to rush forward, swung his spear, and cut off the wolf king's head. The other Swift Wolves saw the wolf king being killed and fled in all directions.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground to rest. This battle consumed a lot of their physical and spiritual energy.

"This Gale Wolf is really powerful. I almost couldn't resist it." A disciple said while panting.

"Yeah, but we managed to escape unharmed," another disciple responded.

Yun Yao wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the spirit sword in her hand, and felt a sense of accomplishment. She turned to look at Chu Mochen and found that Chu Mochen was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and in an instant, a subtle feeling spread in their hearts.

"You performed very well just now." Chu Mochen broke the silence and said.

"The same goes for you. Without you, it would be difficult for us to deal with the Wind Wolf King." Yun Yao responded with a smile.

After a short rest, they continued on their way. Along the way, they encountered some other monsters and traps, but they were all successfully resolved with their wisdom and strength.

When they were passing through a dense forest, they found a strange cave. There was a mysterious atmosphere at the entrance of the cave, which made people feel that there was some secret hidden inside.

"This cave looks unusual. Should we go in and take a look?" Yun Yao said curiously.

Chu Mochen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go in and take a look, but everyone must be careful."

The group walked into the cave carefully. It was dark and damp inside, with some strange lights flickering on the walls. They walked slowly along the cave passage, and suddenly, a pungent smell hit them.

"What's that smell? It smells so bad." said a disciple, covering his nose.

"It seems to be the smell of some poison." Yun Yao said vigilantly.

Just as they were about to move on, a group of black spiders crawled down from the top of the cave. These spiders were huge, covered with spikes, and looked very scary.

"It's a poisonous spider, everyone be careful!" Chu Mochen shouted.

He immediately swung his spear and attacked the poisonous spiders. The spiders spit out spider silk, which shot towards everyone like sharp arrows. Yun Yao quickly cast a spell to form a shield in front of him to block the attack of the spider silk.

The other disciples also launched attacks. For a moment, the cave was filled with light and the battle was fierce. The number of poisonous spiders increased, and they continued to pour out from every corner of the cave, as if they were endless.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood back to back, resisting the poisonous spider's attack together. Their cooperation became more and more tacit, one attacking, the other defending, and gradually stabilized the situation.

"This is not a solution. We have to find the poisonous spider's weakness." Yun Yao said.

Chu Mochen attacked the poisonous spiders while observing their movements. He found that the abdomen of the poisonous spiders was relatively soft, which might be their weakness.

"Attack their abdomen!" Chu Mochen shouted loudly.

After hearing this, everyone changed their attack methods and concentrated their efforts on attacking the abdomen of the poisonous spider. Sure enough, after the abdomen of the poisonous spider was attacked, its movements became slow, and some even fell directly to the ground.

After a hard fight, they finally succeeded in killing all the poisonous spiders. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground.

"This mountain range is full of dangers. I don't know what we will encounter." A disciple said tiredly.

"No matter what we encounter, we must deal with it carefully. This mission is related to the safety of our sect, and we cannot slack off in the slightest." Chu Mochen said seriously.

Yun Yao nodded, she stood up and looked into the depths of the cave, her heart full of curiosity. She felt that there must be something important hidden in this cave, perhaps related to the fluctuation of the mysterious power.

"Let's move on and see what's inside the cave." Yun Yao said.

After resting for a while, the group continued to move deeper into the cave. As they went deeper, the atmosphere in the cave became more and more strange, and the light on the wall became brighter.

Suddenly, they heard a low roar, as if something huge was moving inside. Everyone's heart was lifted again, they held their weapons tightly and walked forward cautiously.

At the end of the cave, they saw a huge pool. Steam was coming out of the pool, and the water was a strange green color. In the center of the pool, there was a stone platform, and on the stone platform was a glittering bead.

"What is that?" Yun Yao said in surprise.

Chu Mochen looked at the bead, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. "That might be a treasure, and it might be related to the mysterious power we are investigating."

He walked towards the pool carefully, wanting to get closer to the bead. However, when he reached the edge of the pool, a powerful force suddenly surged out of the pool and knocked him back a few steps.

"Be careful, there's something strange about this pool." Chu Mochen shouted.

Yun Yao also felt that powerful force. She frowned and thought about how to deal with it.

"Let's try together and use our spiritual power to break this force." Yun Yao said.

Chu Mochen nodded, and he and Yun Yao circulated their spiritual power together, gathering it in their hands. Then, they simultaneously attacked the power in the pool.

A powerful beam of light shot out from their hands and collided with the power in the pool. Suddenly, the entire cave shook and rocks fell from the top of the cave.

Everyone dodged in a hurry, fearing that they would be hit by the rocks. Under the powerful impact, the force in the pool was finally broken, and the strange green water gradually calmed down.

Chu Mochen and Yun Yao walked towards the stone platform in the middle of the pool again, and they carefully picked up the bead. The bead was cold to the touch, and a stream of pure energy passed from the bead into their bodies, making them feel refreshed.

"This is indeed a treasure." Chu Mochen said excitedly.

"Let's leave here quickly, it's too dangerous here." Yun Yao said.

The group left the cave with the beads. When they walked out of the cave, the sunlight outside was particularly dazzling. They took a deep breath, feeling the warmth of the sunlight, and their hearts were filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

This mountain expedition brought them a lot of gains. Not only did they get a treasure, but they also enhanced their mutual understanding and trust. The relationship between Yun Yao and Chu Mochen also became more subtle, and they both had a different feeling for each other in their hearts.
