Chapter 171 Intertwined Clues and Escalating Crisis
Inside the stone house, the fire giant's frantic struggles escalated the tension. Black flames, like surging magma, relentlessly clashed with the white light emitted by the mysterious figure. Each impact was accompanied by a deafening roar, threatening to shatter the entire stone house. Stone chips rained down from the ceiling, and more cracks appeared in the ground. The entire stone house teetered on the brink of collapse, seemingly on the verge of being reduced to dust in the clash of these powerful forces.
Huanmo strode to the stone platform, his eyes fixed on the box emitting a strange light. His heart pounded involuntarily, filled with anticipation and tension. "This box might really hold the key to saving everyone." He took a deep breath, enduring the intense heat of the surrounding flames, and reached out to touch the box again. A faint electric current traveled up his arm, causing him to shudder slightly. A few blurry images flashed through his mind, but they vanished in an instant. "What does this mean? Why can't I grasp these clues?" He was frantic, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, soaking his clothes.
Wanru stood before the murals, her eyes fixed on the mysterious patterns, as if trying to see through them. Her gaze was anxious and focused, attempting to decipher hidden messages from these ancient lines and symbols. "These murals must be hinting at something, but I just can't figure it out," she thought, biting her lip, her hands clenching unconsciously, filled with frustration. Suddenly, she noticed a pattern on the mural that was strikingly similar to a symbol on the trigger disc they had previously encountered. "Could this be the key connection?" A flicker of joy filled her, but she quickly fell into deep thought, trying to link this discovery to the method for purifying the fire giant.
Ling'er sat on the ground, a book open before her. Her small hands flew across the pages, her eyes anxiously searching every corner. "It must be here, I'll definitely find it," she murmured repeatedly, her voice trembling slightly. Fear and anxiety swirled within her, but she knew she couldn't give up. Suddenly, she saw a strange illustration. It depicted a crystal radiating pure light, surrounded by flames, with some illegible writing below. "Brother Huanmo, come quick!" she exclaimed excitedly, her voice filled with surprise.
The woman in white played her guqin, using her spiritual power to disrupt the fire giant, while keeping a close eye on everyone's movements. Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes showed worry. "The fire giant's power is growing stronger, and the mysterious senior's suppression is nearing its limit. We must find clues as soon as possible." She increased her spiritual power output, making the music even more passionate, trying to alleviate some of the pressure on the mysterious man.
The mysterious figure stood before the fire giant, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, white light flashing under his control. Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his body trembled slightly; maintaining this powerful suppressive force was clearly extremely difficult for him. "This fire giant's resentment is more stubborn than I imagined. Hurry, I can only hold on for a few more moments!" His voice carried a hint of weariness, yet remained resolute.
Hearing Ling'er's call, Huanmo and Wanru rushed over. Looking at the illustrations on the scroll, a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts. "This crystal might be the purifying power we're looking for, but where is it?" Huanmo pondered.
Wanru looked at the text below the illustration, trying hard to decipher it: "These words seem to say that the crystal is hidden in a place that is both compatible and incompatible with fire. But where in this stone house is there a place that is compatible and incompatible with fire?"
Just as everyone was lost in thought, the ground of the stone house suddenly trembled violently, and a huge crack appeared before them, spewing forth raging black flames, instantly raising the temperature several times over. The fire giant seemed to be emboldened by some force, resisting even more fiercely, and tiny cracks began to appear on the mysterious figure's white light.
"Oh no, the mysterious senior's suppression is about to fail!" the woman in white cried out anxiously.
In this critical moment, can the group find the perfect counter to fire and the mysterious crystal that can purify evil resentment before the stone house collapses completely due to the fire giant's resistance? Once the fire giant breaks free, how will they withstand its destructive power? What other secrets does this stone house hold, and what opportunities or dangers will it bring? Everything is shrouded in a thick fog, and the group's fate hangs in the balance once more. Even more thrilling trials await them…
