Chapter 366: The Battle is in Full Swing, and the Mystery Remains to be Solved
Surrounded by shadowy figures, Yi Chen desperately swung his broken gun, the blue light flashing intermittently among the dark silhouettes. Each strike was accompanied by a piercing scream from one of the shadows, but more shadows surged forward like a tide, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. "I can't fall here!" Yi Chen gritted his teeth, constantly encouraging himself. Sweat soaked his back, dripping onto the ground from the hem of his clothes.
Huanmo watched Yichen's predicament with frantic anxiety. The divine artifact in his hand shone brightly, attempting to lure more of the shadowy figures. "Come this way!" he shouted, his voice echoing in the enclosed space. The light released by the artifact was like a sharp blade, carving a brief path through the horde of shadows, but the shadows seemed tireless, relentlessly attacking Huanmo. Huanmo's heart pounded. He knew that if he couldn't deal with these shadows quickly, Yichen's life would be in danger, and they might all perish here.
The woman in white wielded her ribbons with lightning speed, white light weaving through the shadows. A hint of fear flickered in her eyes, but even more so, unwavering determination. "Everyone, hold on!" Her voice trembled slightly; each attack was delivered with all her might. The mysterious figure stood behind Huanmo and the woman in white, his hands constantly forming hand seals. Golden runes flew from his hands, merging into the light barrier blocking the shadows, strengthening their defense. His face grew increasingly pale, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He was filled with worry: "There are so many shadows, and our strength is dwindling. We must devise a plan quickly."
Yi Chen attacked the energy barrier of the ancient book again. The broken spear collided with the barrier, illuminating the surrounding shadows. However, the barrier remained as solid as a rock. "Damn it, how can I break this barrier?" Yi Chen was filled with frustration, but he didn't give up and continued to swing the broken spear again and again. Suddenly, taking advantage of his focus on attacking the barrier, a shadowy figure attacked from behind, its sharp claws reaching for his back.
"Yi Chen, watch out behind you!" Huan Mo shouted, quickly firing a beam of divine light towards Yi Chen, striking the shadowy figure that had launched the sneak attack. Sensing the danger behind him, Yi Chen dodged to the side, the shadowy figure's claws grazing his body and tearing his clothes. "Thank you!" Yi Chen called out to Huan Mo, then turned back to fight the shadowy figure.
While fending off the attacks of the shadowy figure, Huanmo pondered how to break through the barrier. His gaze swept back and forth between the ancient book, the shadowy figure, and the surrounding environment, trying to find a clue. Suddenly, he noticed that the runes on the ancient book seemed to resonate with the patterns on the ground. "Could it be..." Huanmo's heart skipped a beat. He carefully observed the connection between the two, trying to find the pattern.
"Listen up, everyone! This ancient book and the ground patterns might be the key! Let's try attacking the runes on the ancient book in the order of the ground patterns. Maybe we can break the barrier!" Huanmo shouted, his voice filled with excitement and anticipation.
“Alright, I’ll give it a try!” Yi Chen replied. While fending off the shadowy figure, he observed the patterns on the ground, searching for the sequence that corresponded to the runes in the ancient book. Finally, he found a clue, seized the opportunity, and thrust his spear at one of the runes on the ancient book. The moment the broken spear touched the rune, it lit up with a light, and then the other runes began to flash in sequence.
"Continue, in order!" Huanmo shouted. Yichen took a deep breath and, following the order indicated by the patterns on the ground, continuously attacked the runes on the ancient book with his broken spear. As each rune was activated, the energy barrier around the ancient book began to fluctuate, its light flickering.
The shadowy figures seemed to sense the danger, and their attacks became even more frenzied. They relentlessly pounced on Yi Chen and Huan Mo, attempting to stop them from breaking the barrier. Huan Mo and the others fought back with all their might; the white-clad woman's ribbons danced among the shadowy figures, and the mysterious figures continuously unleashed powerful rune attacks, buying time for Yi Chen.
Yi Chen's movements grew faster and faster, sweat blurring his vision, but he didn't bother wiping it away; only one thought occupied his mind: break the barrier. Finally, when the last rune was activated, the energy barrier surrounding the ancient book shattered with a "bang." Golden light burst forth from the ancient book, illuminating the entire space. Under this light, the shadowy figures let out painful screams and vanished one by one.
"We did it!" Yi Chen shouted excitedly, a tired but relieved smile on his face. Huan Mo and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxing a bit.
However, as the light gradually faded and everyone looked at the ancient book, they discovered that the characters on it were unlike anything they had ever seen before. The characters seemed to be alive, flowing slowly across the pages.
"What kind of writing is this? We can't understand it at all," the woman in white said, frowning.
Huanmo gently opened the ancient book, trying to find some clues. Just then, a beam of light suddenly flew out from the book, transforming into a phantom figure. The figure's face was blurry, but a powerful and ancient aura could be felt.
"Who are you? Why have you trespassed here?" The voice of the illusory figure seemed to come from ancient times, carrying a hint of majesty and doubt.
Huanmo took a deep breath and said, "Senior, we accidentally entered this space and encountered many dangers along the way. We beg you to tell us what this place is and what secrets this ancient book holds."
The illusory figure remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "This is an ancient sealed place. This ancient book records the method to undo a great calamity. But this calamity is too terrifying. Even if you know the method, what ability do you have to deal with it?"
Huanmo and the others were shocked. A massive catastrophe? What kind of catastrophe was it? And how could they gain the ability to avert it?
The illusory figure continued, "To learn the contents of the ancient texts, you must pass three trials. These trials are extremely difficult; the slightest mistake will lead to utter destruction. Are you willing to give it a try?"
Huanmo and the others exchanged glances, seeing unwavering resolve in each other's eyes. Huanmo stepped forward and said, "Senior, we are willing!"
The illusory figure nodded slightly and said, "In that case, the first test is to find three keys in this space. The keys are hidden in different dangerous places. Only by finding them can you unlock the next test. Remember, time is limited. Once the time limit is up, if you have not found all the keys, you will be trapped here and never be able to leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, the illusory figure vanished, leaving Huanmo and the others standing there. Looking at the still mysterious and dangerous space around them, Huanmo took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, stay alert. Let's start looking for the key."
However, they had no idea what dangers awaited them in their search for the keys, or where the three keys were hidden. What kind of shock would the impending catastrophe bring? Everything remained unknown, waiting for them to explore…
