'Mid Area Underground Lake'
Li dash and use his element shadow skill, restricting the movements of seven forest wolves. As expected of his element shadow skill normal tier2 the low tiersB forest wolves can't move they are just at their spot struggling to get out from Li's skill.
Then Li use his ice sword normal tier1 and slashed the forest wolves, it was instant kill and he moved back, cancelling his shadow skill. His next target is the forest white bear but he will test it first one by one to know if they are strong. Li use his ice barrier normal tier1, protecting its whole body just to make sure that he will not be hurt if they attack. Then he use his element shadow normal tier2, one of the forest white bear was entangled by Li's element shadow and he pulled, dragging it fast to him, then used a ice sword normal tier1, creating a two ice sword gripping it hard and slashed the forest white bear.
It will not die by just two slash and Li dash to slash again but the forest white bear use the claw and defend, then a big sway of attack. Li used his quick reflexes and dodge it, he countered and slash from the front and use his shadow step normal tier 2 going at the back to slash it.Then the forest white bear collapsed.
"Fu... I think it will gonna be easy to me for killing those white bear's. Okay! here... I go!"
Li use his shadow element and repeat his strategy, entangling one of the forest white bear foot and dragged to him. He slash it side by side but it resist and showed a powerful attack that the ground shattered. Li was surprised by that attack but he lean forward and continue to slash, cutting its arm and slash from the front to side of the body.
"Okay, three more left.."
The remaining forest white bear suddenly rush forward to Li. Fighting against three normal tier2 spirit beast will trouble Li it makes it funny but he have no choice and run.
While the three forest white bear is chasing Li he saw a cave path but it was two, it's freaking him out and he directly went on the right path.
Still chasing Li and he saw a pit where it exact on his height, by his ice element he create a ice swords and stuck it on, using as a trap. He lured the three forest white bear and lead it to his trap, jumping forcefully and the forest white bear didn't notice that there was a pit on the ground, it was too late while Li smiled. He use his shadow element and went on their back then pushing them to fall.
The three forest white bear got stab by Li's trap a risky victorious for him but he have no time to rejoice because he hasn't still find a way out in his whereabouts. He let out a sigh like it was problematic for him, then he absorb the soul essence of spirit beast that got killed. Among to the seven forest wolves there are only three soul essence and luckily he got a four soul essence from the forest white bear.
"Okay... I should regain my strength and energy first. Though I didn't get new skill nor my skills advance, I should be more grateful cause I experience how really strong I am."

On the surface at the top, Ah Cy and Heng was running finding the hole pit where they heard about it. They continue to run and search for it until they found a big hole on the ground that is where Li fall. Ah Cy and Heng nod each other as they understand, thinking that the hole where they are standing right now is where Li fell.
The two of them tried to jump down but in exactly where their feet was still intact on the ground the mercenaries catch up and one of them stop Ah Cy and Heng. The two of them was startled and turn back looking at the mercenaries, Ah Cy ask why did they stop them and one of the mercenaries answered that it will be more safe if they are together and they all know that the underground lake is full of spirit beast.
'That might be true' said Ah Cy, then she demand the mercenaries to move quickly, using one of their barriers, fire, water and wind. This make sure that they are guarded properly and other mercenaries can use wind glide then started to help the one who can't use wind glide, going down at the area where Li fell.
Landing on the ground in a pitch dark with glowing stone crystals they move forward and search Li. The underground lake was quite and it's strange to them why spirit beast are not showing up. Until then they reach the area where Li fought the forest wolves and forest white bears. Heng saw the bodies and started to barf.
"Ha.... ha.... are those fresh dead bodies? but if... spirit beast are dead here then is it possible that brother Li is still alive!"
One of the mercenaries talk and also thought that he might still be alive but still it is strange to him where he is thinking that how can a beginner shadow element can kill those low tier and normal tier spirit beast. Heng heard what the mercenary said he shout and said.
"His shadow skill element might be beginner but don't ever underestimate his brain. Just you know he is smart and very known at strategies!"
'That's right' where Ah Cy also add to support Heng. The mercenary back off like he doesn't know what to said next and shut his mouth but in his mind he is still curious about how did Li kill those spirit beast.
