Fortunately, John and Paul were still calm, and the three of us worked together to temporarily control the stone slab. However, if the monster below continues to attack like this, the stone slab may not be able to bear it.

"I'm afraid this stone slab won't be able to withstand it," I said.

"Then what should we do? It's so high down there, how did these monsters get up?" John said.

"Let's go help." Ling Han said and rushed over.

"Don't come over here." I quickly raised my hand to stop everyone.

"But this stone slab is going to be pushed open." Liu Yue said anxiously.

"Everyone stepped on it without the monster pushing it back, and it collapsed immediately," I said.

When the girls heard what I said, they jumped up and down, and they were all so panicked.

"What should we do?" Jones said.

"We fought them with weapons." Luna said.

The impact became more and more violent. The three of us stepped on the stone slabs and our feet were numb from the shock. I had already broken down in a cold sweat.

"There won't be only a few monsters that can't be fought..." I said.

As soon as I said these words, several of the women burst into tears. Ling Han and Liu Yue came directly behind me and pulled my arms. I could feel their trembling.

I have gone through all kinds of hardships, but if I die like this, I will never be willing to accept it.

Qingyang, Qingyang, think of a solution quickly, think quickly, I keep hinting to myself.

Yes.

"Go and get the torches and firewood, quickly." I shouted to the girls.

The girls were stunned for a moment, but they hurriedly ran away. Soon, the people holding the torches and the firewood bumped into each other in a hurry. They didn't even have time to cry out in pain. They stumbled up from the ground, picked up the firewood and ran towards us.

"Light a fire among the flagstones," I said to Paul and John.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, but they quickly realized what I meant.

"What do you want to do?" Rumeng asked.

"Heat the stone slabs and see if they dare to push them up." I said and bent down to light the fire.

Fortunately, the stone slab is big enough, except for the position where the three of us are pressed, the remaining area in the middle is enough for us to light a fire.

The fire was rising, but the three of us did not dare to retract our legs. It would take some time for the stone slab to conduct heat, so we could only keep changing our legs to alleviate the burning of the flames.

Seeing that the fire was burning almost unbearable for us, the collision below eased a little, and the temperature of the stone slab should have risen.

"Hold on a little longer." I said, squinting my eyes.

"I feel like my shoes are melting," Paul said.

"I'll water you." Xia He said and wanted to pour water on Paul's legs.

I quickly stopped her. Maybe I was a little too forceful, but she staggered a few steps after I pushed her.

"Qingyang, what are you doing?" Ling Han asked with some confusion.

"Don't water, the slate will burst." I said loudly.

Hearing what I said, the girls were really shocked. Xia He said with tears, "I'm sorry, I was too anxious and almost made another mistake."

"Ling Han, come here with those broken bamboo sections." I said.

The women turned around and went to get the bamboo. I quickly took the bamboo and handed it to Paul and John respectively. Then I threw a piece of bamboo and put it on the stone slab, and moved my feet to the bamboo.

John and Paul instantly understood what I meant and moved their feet away from the stone slabs. The burning sensation on our legs finally eased a bit.

After a long time, there were several screams from the monsters below. I squatted down and quickly tested the temperature of the stone slab. Good guy, you can grill it directly.

"Okay, that's enough, they don't dare touch the stone anymore." I said and took back my feet.

Although John and Paul's legs began to tremble from stepping hard for a long time, they still did not dare to move their feet.

The two of them looked at me eagerly and said, "Is this really okay?"

"Okay, if they still dare to push the stone slab like this, then we have no choice but to fight to the death." I said.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Originally, I was just giving an example. Unexpectedly, when I turned around, all the girls stood behind me with their weapons ready.

John and Paul looked at each other and persisted for a while. The stone slab was indeed silent. Then they slowly took back their feet and squatted on the ground to rub each other.

I believe these monsters dare not touch the stone slab anymore, but what I am curious about is why the stupid bird didn't scream when the monster came? Also, how can the monster touch the stone slab at a height of seven or eight meters below?

Seeing my frown, Ling Han walked up to me and whispered, "Can't I stop the monster?"

"No, I'm thinking about other things." I said.

"Can you tell me? I'm not as strong as you in strength, but I'm not bad in brains either." Ling Han said.

"I'm wondering how these monsters touched the stone slab. We all used ladders to get up, and this monster doesn't know how to build ladders," I said.

"But there are a lot of monsters." Ling Han said.

"What does this have to do with anything?" I asked doubtfully.

"Stacking Arhat." Liu Yue walked up and said.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" I said.

"But there have never been so many monsters here before. They all came by mistake. Why are there so many monsters this time?" Rumeng asked.

"I'll study this issue tonight. I still have one problem." I said.

"What?" the girls asked.

"In the past, when monsters came and monsters left, that stupid bird would scream. Why doesn't it scream today?" I said, looking at the birdhouse.

Everyone finally remembered this incident, and John and Paul also came over and joined the discussion.

After a long time, Xia He walked out with his head lowered, rubbing the corners of his clothes with both hands, and whispered: "I'm sorry, yesterday I said I wanted to kill a bird to celebrate, but the bird kept chirping, and the chirping was so unpleasant, so I..."

I almost vomited blood, but I can't blame her completely. I just blame me for not understanding everyone's situation first when I came back.

"I killed the bird, it's my responsibility," Paul said.

"No, I can't blame you, I caught him." Xia He cried.

"Okay, now is not the time to blame each other. Everyone, prepare your weapons. If the monster really rushes in..." I said this without saying any more. I don't need to explain what the result will be.

After hearing what I said, everyone no longer dwelled on what had happened. They all picked up weapons and gathered around the stone slab. I stood at the front with my sword. At this time, bows and arrows could no longer play their maximum role. If it really got to that point,

Then we can only risk our lives.

I kept adding firewood just to maintain the temperature of the stone slab. I just hoped that the stone slab would not burn out. No one dared to be careless. We just stood at the entrance of the cave.

He was afraid that the stone slab would suddenly jump up and the monsters below would surge out instantly.

Time continued to pass, and everyone began to feel sleepy, and the girls were also very tired, so it was not an option to continue like this.

"Bring firewood and make a fire ring around the stone slab." I said to everyone.

It was about our survival. Although everyone was tired, their efficiency was still the same. Soon a fire ring was lit around the stone slab.

"Okay, you all go to sleep, I'll watch over you," I said.

"How can that be done? If a monster comes in..." Ling Han said.

"Look at you all standing up and almost falling asleep. Who told you to play so wildly during the day? Your current state is no different from falling asleep." I said angrily.

Seeing my anger, everyone lowered their heads. John and Paul did not dare to interrupt. I also felt that my tone was a bit too much. I was about to speak when Ling Han spoke.

"We really did something wrong today. We won't dare to do this again in the future. Don't be angry."

This girl has figured out my temper and knows whether I take the easy way or not the hard way. She said this in front of so many people, but I felt wronged by her.

"I'm not blaming you. It's safe for the time being. Besides, your mental state is indeed not good. If a monster really breaks in, it will be the same if you stand here." I said as gently as possible.

"But you are alone..." Liu Yue said halfway, but she didn't dare to continue when she caught my gaze.

"I'm fine, I know my body well." I said.

I'm telling the truth. Although I don't know what changes have happened to me after practicing in the underground palace, my physical strength, spirit, and senses have improved significantly. Now I am awake alone when others are sleepy, which is also due to the underground palace.

After a while, the stone slab was indeed silent, and everyone went back to rest one after another. I lifted a chair and sat directly outside the fire ring at the entrance of the cave, thinking about the future.
