Rencarnation Room {Other Story line}

El released his hand grip, instantly allowing Mu Li's body to be thrown far back and hit the cave wall hard.

Quietly, El closed his eyes, deactivating the Rinnegan, but the information about the Octane Blast had been perfectly recorded in his mind.

After Xiao Yan had smashed Mu Li to the ground, El deposited the White fire into the Sky Pearl poison, then took a quick glance at Xiao Yi Xian.

Without warning, El grabbed the girl's right hand, directly carrying her in a princess carry style.

Xiao Yi Xian was shocked, her face flushed, looking at El's face that was so serious. "You pervert! I can run by myself!" she protested in a tone of annoyance mixed with embarrassment.

El didn't answer, just tightened her hold and intended to run. Before that, El turned to Xiao Yan and gave a brief nod, as if signaling.

Xiao Yan immediately understood what she meant. Without hesitation, he followed El's lead. They knew one thing in common: there were too many enemies to defeat all at once, especially in the narrow space of the cave.

For Xiao Yan, this place did not allow him to fight optimally. He had limited space to swing the Black Heavy Xuan Ruler.

In fact, Xiao Yan also could not borrow Yao Chen's strength to carry out a wide attack due to the risk of injuring El and Xiao Yi Xian.

On the other hand, El also understood this situation. His strategy was slightly different, but their goal was the same: find a more open and strategic place to fight a large number of enemies.

While running, hand in hand with Xiao Yan, El briefly looked back, noticing the members of Mercenary Wolfhead who were still poisoned.

Mu Li, despite trying to get up with difficulty, could only stare at them hatefully.

Xiao Yan, who was running by El's side, smiled faintly at their condition. With a swift movement, he activated the Lower Xuan Dou Technique: Vacuum Hand.

Xiao Yan pulled the luminous stones attached to the cave wall into the ring where Yao Chen's Soul resided.

"This will make them confused in the darkness," Xiao Yan thought as he ran.

That strategy not only made it difficult for the enemy to continue the pursuit, but also ensured that they would be trapped inside the cave for longer after the effects of the poison dissipated.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Rinnegan El was active for a few seconds, glancing at Xiao Yan who was using the Low Xuan Technique Dou: Vacuum Hand. After observing the flow of Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body meridians, El immediately deactivated his eyes.

In such a short period of time, El had already analyzed the structure of the technique. "This Dou technique is really similar to Bansho Tenin," he thought. "But it is weaker than Bansho Tenin."

In his arms, Xiao Yi Xian saw the sudden change in El's eyes. Curiosity clouded her mind, even though the situation was precarious. "Pervert- I mean, Ji Lan," Xiao Yi Xian called out hesitantly, choosing El's nickname.

"Your eyes changed earlier... Did you just use the Dou Technique? Does this have anything to do with your body being immune to poison?" she asked quietly but clearly enough for El to hear.

El turned his head slightly, his voice almost a whisper as he replied, "It's not a Dou Technique. It's more like a body constitution, called Six Path Eye. And it has nothing to do with Ji's immunity to poison."

Hearing that explanation, Xiao Yi Xian nodded slowly. Although she felt like asking further questions, she refrained. Right now, their main focus was to reach the mouth of the cave and get away from danger.

"I can ask questions later," Xiao Yi Xian thought as she looked at El's serious face.

Moreover, seeing El's familiarity with Xiao Yan, she was sure there would be another time to understand more about this mysterious man.

The trio finally reached the mouth of the cave, only to find that the cliff outside the cave was also filled with Wolfhead Mercenary members who had prepared to ambush.

"Arrow them!" one of the members shouted, and instantly dozens of arrows were released towards them.

El, while still holding Xiao Yi Xian in his arms, swiftly anticipated the surprise attack. He turned his body swiftly, utilizing the momentum of the arrows to divert their direction.

Some of the arrows instead hit the Wolfhead Mercenary members themselves, causing some to fall into the ravine and others to be seriously injured.

However, things were different for Xiao Yan. With the extremely heavy Black Heavy Xuan Ruler on his back, his movements were slightly slowed down even though his reflexes were quite fast and most of the arrows had already been dealt with by El.

"Argh!" Xiao Yan let out a low cry when the arrow managed to pierce his right shoulder and thigh. Xiao Yan fell to his knees, enduring the pain.

"Xiao Yan!?" exclaimed Xiao Yi Xian and El almost simultaneously.

Xiao Yan groaned while trying to get up, forcing a faint smile on his face. "I'm... fine," he said in a low tone, although he was clearly in pain.

Xiao Yi Xian, who was still in El's arms, had her face instantly reddened with extreme anger.

Developing her cheeks with an irritated expression, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes sharply looked at Xiao Yan. "What's alright?! You fool! Being pierced by an arrow is not alright!" she snapped worriedly.

El, with a flat look, only sighed as he alternately looked at the injured Xiao Yan and the upset-looking Xiao Yi Xian in his arms.

Inwardly, El thought, 'Even with my presence here, fate has still left Xiao Yan injured just like in the original story...'

El suddenly smelled a fast-moving scent of ill-will from within the cave. The scent felt familiar to him, making his instincts instantly react. Without hesitation, he kicked a rock near his feet towards the cave.

Crunch!

The stone hit something hard, bouncing off with a loud sound. However, the scent of ill-will lingered, making El frown as he stared into the darkness of the cave.

"What's wrong?" asked Xiao Yi Xian in a worried tone, her gaze alternating between El and the cave.

"Mu Li has recovered," El replied briefly in a serious tone, his eyes not leaving the mouth of the cave.

"Then, Ji Lan, hurry up and put me down," Xiao Yi Xian said, realizing the potential danger that was approaching.

Without saying much, El sighed heavily, clearly reluctant but knowing it was for the best. "That's what Ji wants to do! But... Ji's body overreacted... wanting to stay attached to Xiao Yi!" he said, her voice sounding a mix of annoyance and confusion.

Xiao Yi Xian's face turns red instantly. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then tried to calm herself down. "You pervert!"

On the other hand, the injured Xiao Yan could only stare at them with a flat expression. "Ugh... Until when will you treat me like mosquito incense? Now I want to be honest, being shot by an arrow hurts a lot!"

However, before anyone could answer Xiao Yan, a shadow flashed quickly out from within the cave.

KRAK!
