After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 187 Horrifying Experience in the Sinkhole

After dealing with the Five Mountains Society, the giant winged demon eagle carried Shen Xu and the other two to the Fire Flame Society's headquarters.

Upon arrival, at Xiao Ruohuang's request, Shen Xu acted out the "Phoenix Descending to Earth" scene with her again. Compared to the people from the Green Wood Society, the people from the Fire Flame Society reacted much more strongly. The expressions on everyone's faces were not mostly shocked, but rather excited and thrilled.

The cheers of the Fire Phoenix Fairy rose and fell, echoing through the sky. They were almost worshipping Xiao Ruohuang as a real phoenix.

"That's enough!" Seeing that Xiao Ruohuang was still somewhat unsatisfied, Shen Xu immediately reminded her.

Upon hearing Shen Xu's reminder, Xiao Ruohuang seemed to wake from a dream, dispelling the fire from her clothes and leading Shen Xu and Cen Chong to a red-haired delinquent.

"Hedgehog head, this fairy has brought people to rescue you. Come and say thank you to this fairy!" Xiao Ruohuang said arrogantly and provocatively.

But Chen Bing immediately pulled her aside and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Ruohuang, I know you really want to show off your skills to me right now, but I am, after all, the leader of the Fire Flame Society, representing the face of the Fire Flame Society. Can you give me some face?"

“Of course! But you not only have to apologize to me, but you also have to publicly admit that you are no match for me! I do know how to enter that Kunyuan Palace!” Xiao Ruohuang said with a smile.

“You… fine! I agree!” Chen Bing said through gritted teeth.

"You two have come from afar, you must be tired! Please come in and rest for a while," Chen Bing said with a smile to Shen Xu and Xiao Ruohuang.

“Chief Chen, time is of the essence, so rest is unnecessary. I believe Ruohuang has already told you the purpose of our visit. Exploring that sinkhole is not just our business; it requires the cooperation of the entire Fire Flame Society,” Shen Xu said slowly.

"Please feel free to give us your instructions. We will do whatever it takes, no matter how difficult it may be!" Chen Bing said firmly.

"Let me explain my plan to you, Chief Chen! First of all, this giant winged demon eagle is the core..." Shen Xu explained the plan that everyone had perfected to Chen Bing in detail.

As Shen Xu spoke, the light in Chen Bing's eyes grew brighter and brighter, a blazing light that could be felt by everyone around him.

"I have a few requests that the Fire Flame Society must fulfill. First, they must transport enough blood food to the sinkhole. This exploration of the Giant Winged Demon Eagle is of utmost importance, and we must ensure its stamina."

Secondly, I need the Fire Flame Guild to have swords that can reliably emit flames. They may encounter fatal dangers during this exploration, and I hope that Chief Chen can do a good job of persuading them.

Finally, and most importantly, I have absolute authority over this exploration. Once you are on the back of the giant winged demon eagle, you will be my subordinates and have no right to disobey my orders. Even if I order you to teleport back to Heavenly Sword City, you must carry it out immediately.

"If Chief Chen can do these three things, then I think you can prepare. If you can't, then please forgive me for not being able to help you," Shen Xu said solemnly.

“Well… I can agree to that, but you must also promise to cherish every swordsman in the Flame Society,” Chen Bing said earnestly.

"I have the utmost respect for every swordsman who is willing to take the risk!" Shen Xu replied earnestly.

"Okay! I'll go prepare right away!"

After some time, Shen Xu saw the outline of the huge sinkhole on the back of the giant winged demon eagle. It was indeed an enormous sinkhole, seemingly covering several miles in circumference.

But as Xiao Ruohuang said, although the sun was still high in the sky at this time, the sinkhole was still pitch black, and you could not see anything at the bottom of the sinkhole.

As the giant eagle stirred up a gust of wind in the forest near the sinkhole, the group jumped off its back.

Under Chen Bing's arrangement, the corpses of the demonic beasts were transported to the giant winged demonic eagle to replenish its strength, while he led everyone to meet the other swordsmen of the Flame Society who were participating in this exploration.

Chen Bing was about to introduce the group to Shen Xu, but Shen Xu interrupted him, saying, "Calling them by name is too troublesome. Ruohuang, you are number one, and Chief Chen, you are number two. The rest of you will line up from left to right in this order. Remember your code names; I will only call you by your code names. We can set off once the Giant Winged Demon Eagle has rested enough."

Hearing Shen Xu's cold words, a hint of anger appeared in everyone's eyes, but seeing Chen Bing's sharp gaze, they had no choice but to suppress their anger.

Just like Shen Xu's arrangement, four people stood on the four sides of the giant winged demon eagle, surrounding Shen Xu in the middle. In addition, when the giant winged demon eagle took off, it would grab No. 5 and No. 6 on the ground to guard against the bloodthirsty bats that would attack from below.

Seeing that everyone had taken their places, Shen Xu sat cross-legged on the giant winged demon eagle, controlling a thin layer of mist to gradually cover the eagle's body.

He knew that using mist to conceal himself was useless against the bats, so the main purpose of his mist was to prevent the flames from burning the giant winged eagle.

A wisp of mist spread to the head of the demon eagle, and Shen Xu gave the giant-winged demon eagle the command to take off. The demon eagle slowly spread its huge wings, and Shen Xu's mist extended to every corner of the demon eagle's wings.

With a loud eagle cry, the demonic eagle flapped its huge wings and hovered at a low position, grabbing the two somewhat frightened people below into its huge yellow claws. Then it quickly took off and began to circle around the sinkhole.

"Is Unit 5 or 6 safe?" Shen Xu asked.

"We won't die for now," the two replied in trembling voices. They were among the few in the Fire Flame Society who specialized in fire breath, making them well-suited for the inconvenient position within the giant winged demon eagle's claws.

"Then let's set off!"

As Shen Xu gave the order, the giant-winged demon eagle began to glide down toward the sinkhole, while the onlookers watched this scene with great tension, praying that the group would succeed.

"White Yuan Lamp!" Upon hearing Shen Xu's words, the six people took out a White Yuan Lamp. The White Yuan Lamp was an upgraded version of the Yuan Lamp, using Yuan Nourishing Pills. The light it emitted was like a small white sun, which was incomparable to ordinary Yuan Lamps.

Just as the six white lamps began to emit intense light, the giant winged demon eagle suddenly rushed into the sinkhole.

Once inside the sinkhole, Shen Xu was shocked to realize that even though the six white Yuan lamps were shining brightly at the same time, the light they emitted could only illuminate a limited space around the giant winged demon eagle.

As for the darkness further away, it was like an unfathomable black hole, completely impenetrable and impossible to be dispelled by these lights.

Moreover, at the very moment the giant-winged demon eagle plunged into the sinkhole, countless eyes hidden in the darkness surrounding the six people opened simultaneously, flashing with an eerie and bloody red light.

Those countless, densely packed, blood-red, gleaming eyes were like scarlet stars in the night sky, sending chills down one's spine.

The sudden, terrifying sight sent a chill down everyone's spine, and a coldness rose from the soles of their feet, quickly spreading throughout their bodies.

Immediately afterwards, countless chattering, sharp and piercing sounds suddenly rang out, intertwining and merging together, eventually converging into a deafening, incredibly loud, and extremely sharp sound, like countless sharp swords about to pierce everyone's eardrums in an instant.

"Clear the way!" With Shen Xu's roar, the other five also sprang into action without hesitation. Instantly, six blazing flames erupted from their hands, like six menacing fire dragons, roaring as they charged forward.

The raging flames swept across the area in an instant, turning everything in their path a fiery red. The bloodthirsty bats lurking in the darkness, upon encountering the scorching heat, immediately let out a series of pitiful howls.

At the same time, a strong, pungent smell of burning corpses filled the air and reached everyone's nostrils. It made their stomachs churn, and they could barely suppress the urge to vomit.

Under the relentless scorching heat of the flames, countless bat corpses began to fall one after another from around the massive body of the giant winged eagle.

The densely packed bat corpses resembled a black rainstorm sweeping across the land, a truly chilling sight.

The giant winged eagle was clearly aware of the danger here. It desperately flapped its broad and powerful wings violently, trying to use the gale to drive away the bloodthirsty bats that were tightly surrounding it and clinging to its body.

However, the scorching flames were also rapidly evaporating the layers of mist that Shen Xu had covered the demonic eagle with. Shen Xu dared not slacken his efforts in the slightest, and could only painstakingly repair every gap in the mist caused by the flames, fearing that the slightest negligence would cause the giant eagle's feathers to be ignited by the flames.

However, the numerous bats that had flown close to him constantly interfered with his perception, causing significant errors in his work.

He failed to fill in an area where the mist had completely evaporated in time, resulting in a wisp of red flame appearing on the giant winged demon eagle's body.

When Shen Xu realized what was happening, his face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
