Chapter 336 Clash Under the Mysterious Giant Shadow
As the colossal figure slowly approached, the air in the hall seemed to solidify under its immense pressure. Huanmo and the others stared intently at the silhouette shrouded in intense light, their hearts pounding involuntarily. The ground beneath their feet trembled with each step of the giant figure, emitting a dull thud, like the low roar of a colossal beast.
Huanmo gripped his sword tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. His heart was filled with tension and doubt: "This giant shadow's strength is unpredictable. We've already endured many hardships; I don't know if we can handle this new challenge. But no matter what, we cannot back down in order to find the divine artifact." He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and met the approaching giant shadow with unwavering determination.
Yi Chen stood beside Huan Mo, tilted his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "Huan Mo, this giant shadow has an extraordinary aura. We must be careful and not act rashly." His eyes revealed a hint of solemnity, and he gripped his spear even tighter, ready to engage in battle at any moment.
The woman in white trembled slightly, her hands gripping the ribbon tightly as she tried to suppress her fear. She bit her lip and whispered, "I hope we can find its weakness and get through this smoothly."
When the colossal shadow fully appeared before them, they could finally make out its appearance. It was a tall, humanoid creature, radiating a soft light. Its face was indistinct, yet it exuded a sacred and majestic aura. Its body was several times the height of an average person, and its large hands seemed capable of easily crushing boulders.
Huanmo and the others were slightly taken aback. They had expected a ferocious monster, but instead it was a being exuding a sacred aura. "Could it not be an enemy?" Huanmo wondered to himself, but his years of adventure experience kept him on his guard.
Just then, the giant shadow suddenly spoke, its voice deep and resonant, as if it came from ancient times: "Insignificant humans, why have you trespassed into this forbidden land?"
Huanmo was startled, not expecting the giant shadow to be able to speak. He composed himself and said loudly, "We have come to find the divine artifact and have no ill intentions. Please forgive us if we have offended you."
The giant shadow frowned slightly, its body flashing a few times, and said, "Divine artifacts are treasures of heaven and earth, how can you freely explore them? You must pass my test and prove that you are qualified to obtain divine artifacts, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Huanmo and the others exchanged glances, understanding that this was yet another hurdle. But they had no room to back down, and they all nodded in agreement.
The giant figure slightly raised its hand, and a flash of light appeared, suddenly conjuring countless phantoms in the hall. These phantoms were of various shapes, some like ferocious beasts, others like powerful warriors, and they pounced towards Huanmo and the others.
Huanmo shouted, "Everyone be careful! These phantoms are not to be underestimated!" With that, he brandished his sword and charged at the nearest phantom beast. The blade clashed with the phantom, producing a crisp sound. The phantom beast was knocked back a few steps, but quickly pounced again.
Yi Chen quickly joined the battle, his spear flashing like a black lightning bolt as he pierced the surrounding phantoms. Each thrust precisely struck their vital points, dispersing them. The woman in white, meanwhile, twirled her ribbons, which drew graceful arcs in the air, entangled the approaching phantoms, rendering them immobile.
However, these phantoms were numerous and appeared continuously. Huanmo and the others gradually felt exhausted, their clothes soaked with sweat. Huanmo was extremely anxious: "At this rate, our strength will be exhausted. We must find the weakness of these phantoms and end the battle as soon as possible."
Just then, he suddenly noticed that whenever the light on the giant shadow flickered, the phantom's power increased. "Could the giant shadow's light be the key to controlling these phantoms?" Huanmo's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted, "Everyone, pay attention to the light on the giant shadow! Try to interfere with it!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Chen and the woman in white immediately understood Huan Mo's meaning. Yi Chen brandished his spear, thrusting it towards the giant shadow, attempting to attract its attention and disrupt its flickering light. The woman in white, meanwhile, twirled her ribbon, whipping it towards the giant shadow, trying to entangle its arm.
The giant shadow seemed to sense their intentions, letting out a soft snort, and its light suddenly intensified. Influenced by the light, the phantoms' power increased dramatically, and they attacked Huanmo and the others even more frantically.
Huanmo was struck by a phantom warrior, his body flying backward and crashing to the ground. He struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gritted his teeth inwardly: "We can't give up, we will definitely find a way!"
Just then, the little girl reappeared, anxiously shouting, "Attack the runes at the giant shadow's feet! That's the source controlling the phantoms!"
Huanmo was overjoyed. He quickly looked at the giant shadow's feet and, sure enough, saw some shimmering runes. He shouted to his companions, "Everyone, focus your attack on the runes at the giant shadow's feet!"
The three rallied and charged towards the giant shadow's feet. They brandished their weapons, attacking the runes with all their might. With each strike, the phantoms' power diminished.
After a fierce battle, they finally shattered all the runes. As the last rune broke, the phantoms vanished instantly, and the hall returned to calm.
The giant shadow paused slightly, then its light gradually dimmed. It looked at Huanmo and the others and slowly said, "You have passed the test. Now, you are qualified to explore the divine artifact." As it spoke, it stepped aside, revealing the path leading to the cave entrance.
Huanmo and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts filled with joy. They bowed slightly to the giant shadow and then walked towards the cave entrance.
When they arrived at the cave entrance, they found that it was a narrow passage filled with a thin layer of mist, obscuring the view ahead.
Huanmo thought to himself, "This passage doesn't seem simple either. I wonder what kind of danger awaits us."
Just as they were about to step into the passage, a deep roar suddenly came from inside, filled with anger and threat.
What is making that roaring sound in the passage? What kind of predicament will Huanmo and the others encounter in this narrow passage? Will they be able to find the artifact successfully? Everything is still unknown, waiting for them to unravel the mystery.
