Chapter 302 Phantom Clash, Struggle for the Key
The room was suddenly filled with light, and the blurry figures gradually became clearer. Huanmo stared intently and saw that these figures were warriors clad in ancient armor. Their eyes were cold, and they exuded a murderous aura, surrounding the group. Huanmo's heart suddenly raced. He could feel the powerful strength emanating from these warriors, and he thought to himself, "It seems that getting the box on the stone platform will not be easy."
Wanru gripped her sword tightly, her palms slightly sweaty, but her face showed no fear. She whispered, "These warriors don't seem ordinary. We must be careful." Ying narrowed his eyes, a ruthless glint in them. His fingers tapped lightly on the blade, seemingly searching for the perfect moment to strike. Yichen and the woman in white drew closer, their expressions grave, their hands forming hand seals in front of them, ready to unleash magic at any moment.
The guardian stood behind the group, his gaze sweeping over the warriors, trying to find their weakness. He thought to himself, "These warriors are powerful, but they must have a weakness. We must find that weakness to break through their encirclement."
Just as everyone was on high alert, the lead warrior shouted and thrust his spear forward, aiming for Huanmo. Huanmo reacted quickly, dodging the fierce attack. Immediately afterward, the other warriors sprang into action, brandishing their weapons and launching attacks from all directions.
Shadow moved like a ghost among the samurai, his blade gleaming coldly as he relentlessly thrust towards their vital points. However, the samurai's defenses were impenetrable, easily deflecting most of Shadow's attacks. Wanru engaged several samurai in close combat, her swordsmanship sharp and swift, forcing the approaching samurai back. But the samurai's coordinated attacks were relentless, leaving Wanru somewhat overwhelmed.
Yi Chen and the woman in white's spells intertwined in the air, creating dazzling beams of light that struck some warriors. However, these warriors seemed to have some resistance to the spells; although hit, they only swayed slightly before continuing their attacks. Huan Mo, in the midst of the battle with the warriors, was extremely anxious: "At this rate, our stamina will be gradually depleted. We must find a way to break this pattern as soon as possible."
Just then, the guardian suddenly shouted, "Everyone, pay attention! These warriors' movements seem to follow a pattern; their attacks and defenses are all based on a certain formation!" Hearing this, everyone began to observe the warriors' actions. Huanmo, observing carefully during the battle, discovered that the warriors' movements were indeed as the guardian had described; their attacks and defenses formed a tight formation.
Huanmo's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted, "Let's not fight individually! Let's concentrate our forces and attack one point, exploiting the weaknesses in their formation!" The others understood and began adjusting their tactics. Ying and Wanru worked together to draw the attention of some of the warriors, while Yichen and the woman in white seized the opportunity to focus their spells on a weak point in the formation.
As the spells continued to rain down, the weak points in the formation gradually began to weaken. Huanmo seized the opportunity, let out a loud shout, and thrust his sword, imbued with a sharp aura, towards that weak point. With a deafening boom, a gap appeared in the formation.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the group broke through and rushed towards the box on the stone platform. Just as Huanmo was about to touch the box, a flash of light appeared, and a warrior suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path with a spear. Huanmo's heart tightened, and he engaged the warrior in a fierce battle.
During the battle, Huanmo discovered that this warrior was stronger than the others. His attacks were as fierce as a storm, making it difficult for Huanmo to defend himself. Fine beads of sweat appeared on Huanmo's forehead as he thought anxiously, "I can't let him stop me. I must get the box."
Seeing Huanmo in trouble, Wanru and the others rushed to his aid. They engaged in a fierce battle with the powerful warrior. After a hard-fought fight, they finally defeated the warrior.
Panting, Huanmo reached out and opened the box on the stone platform. Inside, as expected, was a key, emitting a faint glow and engraved with mysterious runes. Huanmo was overjoyed: "Finally, I've found the second key!"
However, just as everyone was about to leave the room, a huge vortex suddenly appeared on the wall, and a powerful suction force emanated from it, pulling the keys from their hands. Huanmo was startled; he reached out to grab the keys, but it was too late, and they were sucked into the vortex.
A deep voice came from the vortex: "If you want to get the key, pass the next test." After saying that, the vortex disappeared, and the room returned to calm.
The group exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts filled with resentment and confusion. Huanmo clenched her fists, pondering to herself, "What exactly is this test? And how do we pass it?"
Wanru frowned and said, "No matter what the trial is, we cannot give up. We must get the key and seal the dark power." Everyone nodded, their determination to continue moving forward strengthened.
They stepped out of the room and found a huge archway at the end of the passage, with ancient characters carved above it. Yi Chen stepped forward and carefully deciphered the characters, his expression becoming serious.
"These inscriptions state that through this archway, we will enter an illusion where our deepest fears will appear. Only by overcoming these fears can we pass the test and obtain the key," Yi Chen said.
Hearing Yi Chen's words, everyone felt a surge of tension. Huan Mo took a deep breath and said, "No matter what awaits us ahead, we must face it bravely. Let's go!" The group followed Huan Mo towards the archway.
The moment they stepped through the archway, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. Huanmo found himself in a dark forest, filled with an eerie mist, and he could faintly hear crying and footsteps. A wave of fear washed over him, but he quickly rallied, gripped his sword tightly, and continued forward.
Wanru, Ying, Yichen, and the others are each trapped in different illusions, each facing their deepest fears. Can they overcome their fears, successfully pass the trials, and regain the second key? The road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges…
