Chapter 223: The City Shrouded in Darkness
Shen Mo and the others stepped into the city shrouded by the power of darkness, and a repressive atmosphere hit them. The streets were empty, and the doors and windows of the houses on both sides were closed, as if they were hiding from some terrible existence.
"Everyone be careful, the atmosphere here is not right." The female general said in a low voice.
Qingfeng held the sword tightly in his hand and looked around vigilantly.
Lin Yuwei used a magic weapon to release a ray of light, trying to illuminate the road ahead, but found that the light was so weak in the darkness.
Su Yao unconsciously moved closer to Shen Mo, holding the corner of his clothes tightly with both hands.
They walked forward cautiously. The stone road under their feet was covered with dust and fallen leaves. With every step they took, they could hear the clear sound of footsteps echoing in the silence.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, bringing with it a creepy whisper.
"Who?" Shen Mo shouted loudly.
However, only the sound of the wind responded to him.
"Don't scare yourself, maybe it's just the wind." Qingfeng said, but his eyes were also full of tension.
They continued walking and came to a square. In the center of the square stood a huge statue, whose face had been blurred by the erosion of time.
"This statue looks quite old," said Lin Yuwei.
At this moment, the statue's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light.
"Oh no, something's happening!" the female general shouted.
A group of dark monsters emerged from the shadows around the statue. They twisted their bodies, screamed shrilly, and rushed towards Shen Mo and the others.
Shen Mo was not afraid at all. He raised the divine weapon, which emitted a dazzling light, instantly illuminating the surrounding darkness.
"Everyone, come together!" Shen Mo shouted.
Qingfeng wielded the sword, the sword shadow flickered, and each sword accurately chopped at the monster. Lin Yuwei used the magic weapon to release powerful spells to repel the monsters. The female general commanded everyone to maintain the battle formation.
Su Yao cheered for everyone on the sidelines, while also keeping an eye on her companions' injuries, ready to provide help at any time.
After a fierce battle, the monsters were finally repelled. But they knew that this was just the beginning.
"What exactly happened in this city?" Su Yao asked with lingering fear.
Shen Mo frowned, "It's not clear yet, but we must find the source of the dark power as soon as possible."
They continued to explore the city and found some strange signs. The walls were covered with mysterious symbols and the streets were filled with an evil atmosphere.
"These symbols may be some kind of curse." Lin Yuwei said as she studied the symbols on the wall.
Just then, they heard a cry for help.
"Over there!" Qingfeng said, pointing to an alley.
They ran in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people locked in a cage, guarded by several evil wizards.
"Let them go!" Shen Mo shouted.
When the wizards saw Shen Mo and his companions, they smiled grimly, "Here come more people to seek death."
A new battle started again. Shen Mo and his team fought a desperate battle with the wizards. The wizards cast various dark spells to try to stop Shen Mo and his team.
But Shen Mo and his men gradually gained the upper hand with their firm belief and strong strength.
Finally, they defeated the wizard and rescued the people.
"Thank you for saving our city." said an old man.
Shen Mo asked: "Old man, what happened to this city?"
The old man sighed, "There is a dark wizard who has taken control of this city. He possesses a powerful dark force that we cannot resist."
"Then where is he?" asked the female general.
The old man pointed to the center of the city, "In that castle."
Shen Mo and the others looked at each other and said, "Then let's go there and solve this problem once and for all."
They walked towards the castle in the center of the city with the people's hopes. The castle gate was closed and a thick dark atmosphere filled the air.
"Get ready, we're going in." Shen Mo said.
They pushed open the door and walked into the castle...
