Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 334 Taotie

Xu Yao was not going to give this Taotie any face this time either.

If we were to say that we should still save face before, it was entirely because Xu Yao also had his own selfish motives.

Xu Yao mainly wanted to find an opportunity to subdue the Taotie, which was originally a divine beast.

If we could tame it, it would be perfect as a mount for battle.

But unexpectedly, the Taotie had just tried to kill them.

Even though Xu Yao liked the Taotie very much, he wouldn't hesitate or be ambiguous about something that concerned his life.

Therefore, Xu Yao also took direct action.

Xu Yao's move this time was earth-shattering, causing the entire underground world to tremble.

Xu Yao directly used his superior cultivation level to kill the Taotie on the spot.

After killing the Taotie, Ming Yunya said to Han Yi, who was standing beside her, "Is Xu Yao's cultivation really that powerful?"

"Of course. Don't let his usual carefree and joking demeanor fool you; he's actually quite capable."

"Not only is he formidable, but he's also a ruthless individual. Once he strikes, he shows absolutely no mercy, so we're all used to it," Han Yi said.

Ming Yunya nodded, seemingly deep in thought.

After killing the Taotie, Xu Yao hadn't even had a chance to check if there were any good items on its corpse.

Then, the surroundings began to shake violently.

"Damn, what's going on here? Are they planning to bury me alive because I killed this Taotie?" Xu Yao said.

Just then, a woman came out.

"Are you also trapped in this formation?" the woman asked Xu Yao.

“A formation? You’re saying this is a formation?” Xu Yao asked, looking at the woman in front of him.

"Yes, I also accidentally got trapped in this formation, and I haven't gotten out yet," the woman said.

"I've been looking for the key point of this formation, but I haven't been able to find it. It's good that you've come, so let's search together and get out of here."

"Mother!" Upon seeing this woman, Ming Yunya's face immediately lit up with excitement: "Mother, I am Ming Yunya, Xiaoya."

"Xiaoya, it's you, Xiaoya!" The woman ran over excitedly when she saw her daughter.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and wept uncontrollably.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yao said, "It seems Ming Chen really wasn't lying; Ming Yunya's mother really is here."

Just as she finished speaking, Ming Yunya asked her mother, "Mother, why did you come here?"

"Who framed you?"

The woman said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's go outside first, and we'll talk about it later."

After speaking, the woman stood up and said to Xu Yao, "My name is Lin Qian, and I am Xiaoya's mother. You must be Xiaoya's friend."

"Hello, Auntie!" Xu Yao said with a smile.

Da Wu and Han Yi also greeted Lin Qian.

After everyone had exchanged greetings, Lin Qian said, "This is a formation, and there are a total of 5 formation eyes in this formation."

"We can only leave this place if we find these 5 key points of the formation. If we can't find these key points, then there's no point in saying anything."

Xu Yao asked curiously, "Then where is the core of this formation?"

Lin Qian shook her head helplessly: "There are exactly five of us now. If we want to find the core of this formation, I'm afraid we'll have to split up."

"And now the first array eye is right here. I just found it myself. Actually, I have to thank that spirit beast."

"If that spirit beast hadn't been there making noises to attack you, I wouldn't have been able to find it myself."

"In short, we can open this array eye first, and then..."

"We'll figure out what to do next," Lin Qian said.

Seeing Lin Qian say this, Xu Yao nodded and said, "Okay, then let's leave it at that."

"Let's go straight to the core of this formation."

Lin Qian led the group to a place that was also emitting a purple light.

In the center of the purple light was something that looked like an eye.

Lin Qian also directly unleashed her flying sword at the eye, destroying it with a single strike.

Suddenly, the entire underground world began to shake again, but it quickly stopped.

Lin Qian then turned her head and said, "You see, this is what the array's core looks like. If you see this array's core..."

"The first thing we can do is destroy this array core, which will open the passage and allow us to get out."

Seeing Lin Qian do this, Xu Yao nodded and said, "Okay, we understand what you're saying."

"In that case, let's begin now. Where are the other four array points?" Xu Yao asked.

Lin Qian shook her head: "I don't know the exact location, but I do know that the four array points are in the four directions of east, south, west and north."

"We must split up to search. Once we find the core of the formation, we must destroy it, and then we will come back here to regroup," Lin Qian said.

Seeing that there was no better solution, the group nodded and agreed with Lin Qian's suggestion.

“Alright, in that case, I’ll go north. You can choose one of the remaining three places yourselves,” Xu Yaoxian said.

After saying that, Xu Yao left the group and headed north alone.

Along the way, Xu Yao looked at the surrounding situation and couldn't help but feel uneasy. It would be a lie to say that Xu Yao wasn't panicking.

After all, this place really does look a bit eerie. It's not that Xu Yao is saying anything, but it's just that it's too dark all around.

But here's the problem: although Xu Yao felt it was very dark around him, he didn't dare to say he wouldn't go.

If we can't find the core of the formation now, everyone will be in trouble.

So even though Xu Yao was very nervous, he still mustered up his courage and walked on.

Not long after we started walking, a sika deer with fluorescent blue hair suddenly appeared ahead. This sika deer was really strange.

The main point is that it's a real sika deer with four eyes, and its belly is transparent, so you can even see the organs inside clearly.

In such a dark place, with such an eerie light, Xu Yao wondered if he was seeing things.

However, upon seeing Xu Yao, the sika deer let out a cry and ran off ahead.

Xu Yao originally wanted to chase after it, but then he thought that his main task now was to find the core of the formation, and chasing the sika deer was not the point.

That meant nothing to him, so Xu Yao didn't say anything and just kept walking forward.

After walking for a short while, they suddenly saw a large mountain in front of them.

Upon seeing a large mountain, Xu Yao quickly walked over to it.
