Chapter 70 The Storm at the Core of the Array and Unknown Crises
Within the rune array, a chaotic storm had erupted. Golden light clashed and intertwined with the eerie blackish-purple energy, crackling and popping like countless bolts of lightning exploding within the array. The blinding light made it almost impossible for anyone to open their eyes. The rune array shook violently, the surrounding runes flickering precariously like candles in the wind. Cracks began to appear on the ground within the array, as if this place, which bore countless mysterious powers, was about to crumble.
Huanmo was trapped at the core of the formation, the powerful energy still pouring into his body, rendering him unable to move. His heart was filled with anxiety and fear: "How could this be? I thought I had found a way out, but could it be pushing everyone into an even deeper abyss? I can't let everyone fall into an abyss because of me!" He desperately tried to break free from the energy's restraint, but the more he struggled, the tighter the force seemed to tighten, almost suffocating him.
The woman in black robes was locked in a fierce battle with the giant beast. Her hair was disheveled from sweat and spiritual energy, but her eyes burned with an indomitable flame. She thought to herself, "No matter what, I must buy time for Huanmo. Even if I perish here, as long as I can break this stalemate and protect everyone, it will be worth it." The black longsword in her hand was now covered with cracks. Each collision with the giant beast's spiritual energy made her hands go numb, but her moves remained fierce, without the slightest intention to back down.
The man in white played his jade flute while keeping a close eye on the situation at the center of the formation. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead as he worried, "The changes at the center of the formation are too strange. If we can't figure out the reason soon, we're all going to be defeated today. What should we do?" The sound waves from the jade flute seemed somewhat powerless in the chaotic environment, and were interrupted by the spiritual power of the giant beast.
The man in the green robe and Qingwan supported each other, both exhausted and pale as paper. Qingwan looked at the crumbling rune array and the beleaguered Huanmo, her eyes reddening, and said in a trembling voice, "We must help Huanmo, we can't let him bear this alone." The man in the green robe gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Despite the unbearable pain from his injuries, he was prepared to use his last bit of strength to rush forward and help.
Wanru held the white tiger, hiding in a relatively safe corner. Her body trembled with fear, and tears streamed down her face. She cried out anxiously, "Everyone, please be careful! We can get through this, we can!" The white tiger rubbed against her arm restlessly, making low whimpering sounds as if responding to her prayers.
Just as everyone felt the situation was becoming increasingly critical, the dark purple energy in the eye of the array suddenly contracted sharply, surging towards the giant beast and instantly merging into its body. The already enormous beast seemed to be infused with boundless power; the dark purple light around it intensified, and its size instantly increased several notches. It roared to the sky, the roar causing the cracks in the rune array to spread further, as if the entire space was about to shatter from the sound.
"Oh no, this beast has become even stronger!" the woman in black exclaimed, despair instantly spreading through her heart. But she didn't stop, still frantically thrusting her longsword at the beast, even though she knew that this attack might only be a drop in the ocean.
Huanmo watched this scene with burning anxiety, his eyes filled with self-blame and regret. He roared in his heart, "It's all my fault! I was reckless and made it so difficult to deal with. I must find a way to make amends!" Suddenly, he felt the energy binding him loosen slightly, as if responding to his inner unwillingness and determination. He quickly concentrated his mind, trying to guide the energy, thinking, "Perhaps this energy was originally meant to restrain the giant beast, but I just haven't mastered the correct method yet."
The man in white also noticed the change on Huanmo's side, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. He shouted, "Huanmo, come on! Let's hold it off, you think of something!" As he spoke, the rhythm of his jade flute playing became more and more rapid, and the sound waves transformed into tangible blades that attacked the giant beast. Although they could not cause too much damage to the giant beast, they did temporarily distract it.
The man in the green robe and Qingwan exchanged a glance, seeing determination in each other's eyes. Despite their weakened state, they rejoined the battle, joining the woman in the black robe to attack the giant beast from different directions, attempting to slow its charge towards Huanmo.
With everyone working together to stop it, the giant beast's advance faltered slightly, giving Huanmo precious time. He closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and felt the energy flowing through his body, constantly recalling the content shown on the stone tablet, trying to find a clue.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Huanmo. He remembered that the strange symbols in the images seemed to have a specific order, and the energy flow within his body seemed to follow a similar pattern. With a thought, he guided the energy within his body to slowly circulate according to the order of the symbols in his memory.
Guided by him, the golden light in the array's core intensified once more, transforming into golden ropes that shot towards the giant beast. This time, the ropes were thicker and contained far greater power, instantly binding the beast and rendering it immobile. The giant beast struggled frantically, roaring incessantly, but the golden ropes remained unmoved.
"Did we succeed?" Wanru shouted excitedly, her eyes full of anticipation. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and a feeling of exhaustion instantly washed over them.
However, just when everyone thought they had finally subdued the giant beast, black lines began to appear on its body, which was bound by golden ropes. These lines spread along the ropes, and wherever they went, the golden light gradually dimmed, and the ropes began to show signs of loosening.
Huanmo's eyes widened in horror: "What's going on? Does this giant beast have an even more powerful trick up its sleeve?" Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats again, and the tension they had just relaxed instantly returned. Taking advantage of the loosening of the ropes, the giant beast began to struggle again, and an even more difficult life-or-death struggle seemed to be about to begin. Could everyone completely resolve this crisis?
