Chapter 334 Fierce Battle Against Demons, Amidst a Thick Fog
Inside the hall, a dark aura surged, and the black monsters crawling out from the cracks in the ground let out chilling roars. Their shrill cries echoed in the empty space, like countless steel needles piercing the eardrums of Huanmo and the others. A pungent, putrid stench filled the air, making them want to vomit.
Huanmo frowned, secretly on guard: "These monsters are so numerous and exude an evil aura; their strength is definitely not to be underestimated. It seems this battle will be exceptionally difficult." He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and his gaze swept firmly across the monsters that kept surging out around him.
A hint of seriousness flashed in Yi Chen's eyes. He gripped his spear tightly and said in a low voice, "Huan Mo, we can't be surrounded by these monsters. We have to find a way to break through." Although his voice was steady, it couldn't hide the tension within it.
The woman in white was pale. She gripped the ribbon tightly, her body trembling slightly, but she still forced herself to speak despite her fear, saying, "If we fight together, we will definitely break through their encirclement."
Before the words were even finished, a monster launched its attack, lunging at Huanmo like a black lightning bolt. Huanmo reacted swiftly, dodging to the side while simultaneously slashing out with her sword. The blade sliced through the monster's body, leaving a deep gash. The monster cried out in pain, tumbling through the air before charging again.
Immediately afterward, even more monsters swarmed in, rushing in from all directions and surrounding Huanmo and the others. Yichen brandished his spear, its tip gleaming coldly, each thrust accurately striking a monster and repelling them. The woman in white danced with her ribbons, which swirled and danced in the air like a nimble serpent, coiling around the approaching monsters and preventing them from getting close.
However, the number of monsters was simply too great; they surged forward relentlessly, and Huanmo and the others gradually became overwhelmed. Huanmo's arms ached from constantly swinging his sword, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he knew that he could not afford to relax in the slightest. "Don't panic. The more critical the moment, the more you need to stay calm," he repeatedly encouraged himself.
Suddenly, a large monster charged out from the horde, moving with incredible speed, and instantly appeared before Huanmo. Huanmo was startled; it was too late to dodge, and the monster's claws slashed fiercely at his shoulder. Huanmo instinctively parried with his sword, and with a "crack," a fissure appeared on the blade.
Huanmo felt a pang of pain in his heart. This sword had been with him for many years, witnessing countless battles, and now it was damaged at this crucial moment. But he had no time to grieve; he quickly adjusted his posture and kicked the monster in the abdomen. The monster was kicked back a few steps, but quickly charged forward again.
Seeing Huanmo in trouble, Yichen shouted, "Huanmo, I'm here to help you!" With that, he swung his spear, thrusting it towards the larger monster. The spear struck the monster's back, and in pain, the monster turned and lunged at Yichen. Yichen nimbly dodged, while simultaneously attacking the monster's weak points with his spear.
The woman in white seized the opportunity to twirl her ribbons, temporarily forcing back the surrounding monsters and buying some time for Huanmo and Yichen. Her face was covered in sweat, and her breathing became rapid, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
Just as they were locked in fierce combat with the monsters, strange lights suddenly began to flicker on the walls of the hall, and the ancient characters changed once again. Huanmo's heart skipped a beat; he knew that these characters might contain important information. But at this moment, he was tightly entangled with the monsters and had no way to break free to check.
"If only I could have a chance to read those texts, maybe I could find a way to deal with these monsters," Huanmo thought to himself, while fighting the monsters even harder.
Suddenly, taking advantage of Huanmo's distraction, a monster attacked from behind, biting him hard. Huanmo cried out in pain, his body swaying slightly. Yichen and the woman in white were alarmed to see Huanmo injured and rushed towards him desperately to protect him.
Just then, the little girl reappeared and shouted, "Look at the writing on the wall! It says these monsters are afraid of light, and the light from the stone platform can drive them away!"
Upon hearing this, Huanmo was overjoyed. He quickly looked at the pillar of light on the stone platform that was still emitting a soft glow. "So that's how it is! How come we didn't think of that!" he exclaimed, while beckoning Yichen and the woman in white to come closer to the stone platform.
The three of them fought off the monster's attacks as they approached the stone platform. Once they were close, Huanmo placed his sword back into the light, and the cracks on the blade began to heal slowly, while simultaneously emitting an even more powerful glow.
Huanmo brandished her radiant sword, slashing at the monsters. The monsters screamed in agony upon contact with the light, their bodies beginning to dissipate. Yichen and the woman in white also immersed their weapons in the light and launched their attacks.
Under the influence of the light from the stone platform, the monsters began to retreat, no longer attacking as frantically as before. Huanmo and the others seized the opportunity to expand their gains, continuously attacking the monsters with light, and the number of monsters in the hall gradually decreased.
Finally, thanks to their efforts, the last monster vanished in the light. Huanmo and the others breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
Looking at the sword in his hand, now restored to its original state, Huanmo was filled with emotion: "The light on this stone platform truly possesses magical power." He looked up at the hole in the ceiling, where the light still shone, as if beckoning them.
After resting for a while, they prepared to head towards the cave entrance. However, just as they reached the bottom of the cave entrance, suddenly, plumes of black smoke shot out from the entrance, quickly spreading and shrouding the entire hall in darkness.
Huanmo was startled. He waved his hand in front of him, but could see nothing. "What's with this smoke? Is it another trap?" He was filled with doubt and vigilance.
Just then, they heard a strange laugh, which seemed to come from all directions, sending chills down their spines. Huanmo and the others huddled together, warily watching the surrounding darkness.
What is the purpose of this black smoke? Where does that eerie laughter come from? Can Huanmo and his companions find their way to the divine artifact amidst this dense fog? What dangers and challenges will they face? Everything remains a mystery, waiting for them to explore.
