Chapter 254: Dark Aftermath
After the mysterious man disappeared, the dark power in the valley did not dissipate, but instead pressed down like a thick fog. Shen Mo and others stood where they were, observing their surroundings vigilantly, not daring to relax at all.
"Everyone, please rest here and treat the wounded." Shen Mo said, panting.
Su Yao rushed over to bandage Shen Mo's wounds from the confrontation with the mysterious man. Lin Yuwei sat aside with a pale face, trying to recover her over-consumed mana.
Qingfeng wiped the blood off the sword and said, "Although that guy ran away, the dark power is still there. I'm afraid there will be trouble."
The female general looked into the distance and said solemnly: "No matter what, we must be prepared to meet the next challenge."
Some soldiers were lying down while others were sitting, taking the time to rest. The atmosphere was tense and depressing.
After a while, Shen Mo stood up and said, "We can't be trapped here forever. We have to find the source of the dark power and eliminate it completely."
Everyone nodded and regained their spirits.
They continued to move forward in the valley. The dark atmosphere around them became thicker and thicker, making it difficult to breathe.
"Be careful!" a soldier walking in front suddenly shouted.
Suddenly, countless black tentacles stretched out from the ground and attacked them.
Shen Mo waved the magic weapon and cut off the approaching tentacles. Qingfeng and the female general also led the soldiers to fight against these tentacles.
Lin Yuwei cast a spell to try to stop the tentacles from regenerating.
After a hard fight, they finally got rid of the tentacles.
"What the hell is this thing?" said a soldier with lingering fear.
Shen Mo frowned: "It seems that this dark power can produce all kinds of weird things to stop us."
They continued to move forward and encountered dark barriers one after another, blocking their way.
"Let me try to break this barrier." Lin Yuwei said.
She concentrated her mind and exerted the power of the magic weapon to the extreme, and a beam of light shot towards the barrier. However, the barrier only shook slightly and was not broken.
"Everyone, come together!" Shen Mo shouted.
Everyone used their strength to attack the barrier together.
Thanks to their efforts, cracks finally appeared in the barrier and eventually it broke.
Just when they thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, bursts of strange crying and laughing suddenly rang out around them, making them shudder.
"What's going on?" Su Yao grabbed the corner of Shen Mo's clothes tightly.
Shen Mo comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it may be an illusion created by the dark forces."
But this illusion became more and more real, as if countless vengeful spirits were wandering around them.
"Stay awake and don't be fooled by illusions!" the female general shouted.
At this moment, some soldiers suddenly went crazy and started attacking their companions.
"Stop them!" Qingfeng shouted.
Shen Mo and others took great efforts to subdue these out-of-control soldiers.
"This is not a solution. We must find the core of the dark power as soon as possible." Lin Yuwei said.
They continued to grope forward in the darkness, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at a huge cave.
The cave exudes a strong sense of darkness, which makes people stay away from it.
"This may be the source of the dark power." Shen Mo said.
Everyone took a deep breath and walked into the cave...
