Chapter 369: Enchanting Song, The Battle to Break the Stalemate
Huanmo chased after Yichen and the woman in white with burning anxiety. The melodious yet eerie song seemed like an invisible hand, constantly tugging at his consciousness. He gritted his teeth, using the light of his divine artifact to sting his palms, trying to stay awake through the pain. "I can't be fooled by this song, I must save them!" he shouted inwardly, his steps never faltering.
The mysterious figure followed closely behind Huanmo, his brow furrowed, his eyes revealing anxiety and focus. He knew this song was no ordinary one, and as he ran, he frantically searched his mind for ways to break the spell. "This song seems to directly affect a person's mind; I must find a way to break it as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable."
Yi Chen and the woman in white, as if their souls had been ripped away, walked mechanically toward the source of the song, their eyes vacant. Their footsteps rustled on the ground covered with fallen leaves, yet they paid no heed to the calls of Huan Mo and the mysterious figure.
As the group drew closer to the source of the song, the surrounding environment grew increasingly eerie. The golden sunlight that had been filtering through the leaves had dimmed, and wisps of mist began to drift through the forest, shrouding the entire area in a hazy glow. Within the mist, indistinct figures appeared, some resembling humanoids, others like strange creatures, shifting in and out of sight, as if watching them.
Huanmo's heart suddenly raced. He not only had to resist the allure of the song, but also had to remain constantly vigilant against the mysterious figures around him. "Where exactly is this place? Why does it feel so dangerous?" Fear, like a vine, quietly spread through his heart, but his gaze grew even more resolute, his determination to save his companions undiminished.
The mysterious figure watched the surrounding environment gradually change, inwardly groaning. "This is a huge problem. This song not only bewitches people, but it also seems to be able to control the environment around us." As he spoke, he formed hand seals, trying to use his spiritual power to dispel the surrounding mist and search for more clues.
Just then, Yi Chen and the woman in white suddenly stopped. Before them appeared a woman in a white gauze dress, her face exquisitely beautiful, her skin as white as snow, her eyes like stars twinkling in the night sky. A faint smile played on her lips as she softly sang a captivating song.
Huanmo and the mysterious figure quickly caught up, blocking Yichen and the woman in white. Huanmo looked at the woman warily and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you bewitching our companions?"
The woman in white ignored Huanmo's questioning. Her singing remained melodious and captivating, a hint of mockery in her eyes, as if she were enjoying the struggles of the crowd. The mysterious figure carefully observed the woman in white, trying to find a flaw in her singing. "This woman appears weak, but her aura is strange; she is definitely not a kind person. We must be careful."
Huanmo concentrated, attempting to channel the power of the divine artifact to resist the influence of the song. The artifact's light flickered slightly, forming a faint light barrier around him, somewhat alleviating the song's allure. He turned to the mysterious figure and said, "I'm using the artifact to temporarily resist the song; you must quickly think of a way to awaken them."
The mysterious figure nodded, took a deep breath, and rapidly formed hand seals while chanting incantations. A soft golden light flew from his hands and gently landed on Yi Chen and the woman in white. However, the moment the light touched the two, it was repelled by an invisible force.
Seeing this, the woman in white suddenly sang even more passionately, the fog instantly thickened, and the blurry figures became clearer. They slowly approached Huanmo and the others, revealing sharp teeth and claws, and emitting low roars.
Huanmo's heart tightened. He swung his divine weapon, and a beam of light shot out, striking one of the figures. The figure let out a scream and vanished into the mist as a wisp of black smoke. But more figures surged forward like a tide.
"This won't do. We can't just focus on holding off these monsters. We must decipher the song as soon as possible," Huanmo shouted, while continuously wielding his divine weapon to defend against the monsters' attacks.
The mysterious figure was frantic. He dodged the monster's attacks while desperately searching for a way to break free. Suddenly, he remembered something recorded in an ancient text: pure mental power might be able to break this kind of bewitching spell.
"Phantom Ink, I need you to use the artifact to guide the pure power of the mind. I will try to use it to decipher the song!" the mysterious figure said loudly.
Upon hearing this, Huanmo immediately focused his mind and guided the divine artifact. The artifact shone brightly, and a warm and pure power surged from it. The mysterious figure caught this power with both hands, merging it into his own spiritual power, and then shot it towards the woman in white.
The moment the light struck the woman in white, her singing abruptly stopped, and her body trembled slightly. The mist began to dissipate, and the blurry figures vanished. Yi Chen and the woman in white gradually regained their clarity, staring blankly at the scene before them.
"What happened? How did we get here?" Yi Chen rubbed his head and asked in confusion.
Huanmo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You were all bewitched by this woman's singing and almost got into danger. Fortunately, we deciphered the song in time."
The woman in white looked at the other woman in white before her, her heart filled with anger: "Why did you do this?"
The woman in white sneered and said, "This is the second test. Only by passing my test can you move forward. However, it won't be so easy for you to pass."
After speaking, the woman in white vanished from everyone's sight in a flash. Immediately afterward, the surrounding forest began to shake violently, trees fell one after another, and huge cracks appeared in the ground.
"It seems this is just the beginning of the real test. We must be careful," Huanmo said, gripping the artifact tightly with a determined look in his eyes.
The group cautiously made their way through the swaying forest, unsure of what dangers awaited them. Suddenly, a swift-flowing river appeared ahead, its water black and emitting a pungent odor. There was no bridge, nor any other means of crossing.
"How are we going to get across?" The woman in white frowned as she looked at the rushing river.
Just then, huge whirlpools suddenly surged up in the river, and some dark figures could be vaguely seen in the whirlpools, slowly swimming towards them.
What exactly are these black figures? How will Huanmo and the others cross this dangerous river? What other hardships and obstacles await them in the second trial? Everything is still unknown; danger looms over them like a shadow…
