Chapter 889: Finding the Way Out of the Maze Is Difficult
"Could it be... they are afraid of strong light?" Elder Chen's heart moved, and he took out a lighting orb from his arms.
This orb is usually used for lighting, but now it has become their life-saving straw.
Elder Chen injected his true energy into the orb, and the orb immediately emitted a dazzling light, which was several times stronger than the light of the white-clothed man's staff.
As soon as the strong light came out, the ghost creatures screamed shrilly and hid, like bats in the dark encountering the sun.
Everyone looked at Elder Chen in surprise, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.
The orb in Elder Chen's hand could actually disperse these ghost creatures!
"This... How is this possible..." Xiao Hong muttered to herself, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Elder Chen stared at the orb in his hand, his eyes deep, and slowly said: "It seems that we have found a way to deal with these monsters..."
The light emitted by Elder Chen's orb became stronger and stronger, and everyone began to fight back against the ghost creatures with this power.
The man in white waved his staff and chanted a spell. The light on the top of the staff flashed violently, and beams of light shot towards the ghost creatures, destroying them one by one.
Each burst of light was accompanied by the screams of the ghost creatures. The sound was heart-pounding, but everyone felt a sense of relief.
Li the Hunter waved his sword and cut off several ghost creatures that approached.
Although his movements were a little slow, each blow was powerful enough to repel the ghost creatures.
Doctor Zhang used the short sword in his hand to flexibly dodge the ghost's attack, and each time he gave a fatal blow at the critical moment.
Although Granny Lin was old, she was not to be outdone. She held a short stick and waved it with implicit power, blocking the ghosts in front of herself and her companions.
Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu also joined the battle. Although they were not as strong as men, their dexterity and wit enabled them to effectively dodge attacks and look for opportunities to counterattack.
Xiaohong had an extra short stick in her hand, and each swing was as fast as lightning, repelling the approaching ghosts.
Luo Xiaoyu used the short dagger in her hand to flexibly shuttle among the ghosts, finding the right opportunity to give a fatal blow.
As the ghost creatures were eliminated one by one, the morale of the crowd gradually rose.
The light of hope rekindled in their eyes, and their faces were filled with confident smiles.
They encouraged each other and shouted loudly, and each shout seemed to be a trumpet of victory, dispelling the darkness around them.
Granny Lin looked at the injured Luo Xiaoyu, and a maternal warmth surged in her heart.
She took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the sweat on Luo Xiaoyu's forehead, and said gently: "Xiaoyu, you did a good job, you will be fine."
Xiaohong watched all this from the side, full of admiration in her heart.
She saw the man in white carrying the injured Luo Xiaoyu, and his eyes showed determination and care.
A warm current rose in Xiaohong's heart, she followed the man in white closely, and secretly vowed in her heart that no matter what dangers were ahead, she would face them with everyone.
Li the hunter wiped the sweat from his forehead. Seeing everyone supporting each other in the battle, he felt very warm in his heart.
He turned to look at Granny Lin and smiled gratefully: "Granny Lin, thanks to you."
Granny Lin smiled kindly and nodded: "We are all a community of shared destiny, and it is right to help each other."
The relationship between the people became closer at this critical moment.
They supported each other and fought together, as if forming an indestructible line of defense.
At this moment, they were no longer isolated individuals, but a united team.
At this moment, the man in white suddenly stopped and stared at the depths of darkness ahead.
His ghosts screamed sharply and avoided the dazzling light, like bats in the middle of the night suddenly encountering the scorching sun.
Taking advantage of this precious opportunity, the man in white waved his staff and chanted a low and powerful spell.
The light at the top of the staff flickered, and beams of light shot out, accurately hitting those ghost creatures that could not dodge.
The ghosts wailed shrilly, their bodies gradually became transparent, and finally turned into starlight and dissipated in the air.
Every time the beam burst, it was accompanied by the annihilation of the ghost and the smell of burning in the air.
Li the hunter wielded his sword with great vigor.
The blade cut through the air, making a whirring sound, and cut the approaching ghost creature in half.
He felt a cold breath coming towards him, but the light of the orb gave him great courage, allowing him to wield the weapon in his hand fearlessly.
Doctor Zhang was flexible, and the short sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and every attack went straight to the vital point of the ghost creature.
He felt the sense of blockage when the sword blade passed through the ghost's body, and the chill when the ghost dissipated.
Although Granny Lin was old, she wielded the short staff in her hand with great vigor, and the tip of the staff flashed a faint golden light, forcing the ghost creature back.
She felt that every swing of the stick was a bit strenuous, but she gritted her teeth and persisted, protecting her companions behind her.
Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu were not to be outdone. The short sticks and daggers in their hands danced like snakes, cooperating tacitly and repelling the approaching ghost creatures one by one.
They felt the cold touch of the ghost creatures hitting them, and the sense of accomplishment after repelling them.
As the last ghost creature dissipated, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The burnt smell and cold breath in the air gradually dissipated, replaced by fresh air and the joy of victory.
Just then, everyone discovered that under the light of the gem, a huge maze appeared in front of them.
The walls of the maze were towering into the sky, built of unknown black stones, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
The entrance of the maze was shrouded in a thick fog, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly, adding a touch of mystery.
"It seems that our adventure has just begun..." The man in white took a deep breath, looked at the entrance of the maze with a firm gaze, and took the lead to walk in.
Everyone followed closely and stepped into the maze carefully.
The thick fog was so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of you, and you could only vaguely see the figure of your companion in front of you.
There was a damp breath in the air, mixed with a faint smell of decay, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the depths of the maze, like the roar of some creature, and like the sound of metal friction, which made people shudder.
Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts were full of uneasiness.
"Everyone be careful, there seems to be something here..." The man in white reminded in a low voice, holding the staff in his hand tightly.
Everyone held their breath, stared at the surroundings nervously, and dared not make any sound.
The maze was silent, only the heartbeats and breathing of everyone were clearly audible.
The thick fog became thicker and thicker, shrouding everyone in a white world, as if isolated from the world.
"We... seem to be lost..." Xiaohong's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of fear.
At this moment, a strange sound came from the depths of the maze again, clearer and more disturbing than before.
Everyone's heart tightened, and an inexplicable sense of fear arose spontaneously...
"What... what is this sound?" Li Hunter's voice trembled a little.
The man in white had a solemn face, his eyes vigilantly scanned the surroundings, and said in a deep voice: "Be prepared for battle..."
Everyone walked forward carefully in the maze, looking around vigilantly, as if there would be danger in the darkness at any time.
They listened carefully to the strange sound, and every slight movement made their hearts twitch.
The fog became thicker and thicker, like a heavy wall, squeezing everyone.
The oppressive atmosphere was like a substance, weighing heavily on everyone's heart.
Xiaohong was afraid of getting lost, so she held the corner of the white-clothed man's clothes tightly, and her fingers turned white because of the force.
Suddenly, several huge spiders rushed out of the fog. They were as big as millstones, and their hairy legs moved quickly, spitting sticky silk and rushing towards everyone.
Everyone was caught off guard by this sudden attack.
The spider's attack was extremely fierce, and everyone resisted.
Zhao the blacksmith waved his weapon, and although he cut off a lot of spider silk, there were too many spiders. One spider suddenly sprayed venom, splashing on Zhao the blacksmith, and he fell to the ground injured.
Everyone began to panic.
The white-clothed man's eyes were stern, and he waved his staff and cast a spell to protect everyone.
The surrounding space was flashing with the light of magic, temporarily blocking the spiders out.
Doctor Zhang watched nervously, his forehead was full of sweat, and his eyes were fixed on the battle situation without blinking.
The spiders' attacks became more and more fierce, and everyone gradually lost their strength.
The man in white gritted his teeth, and the light of the staff in his hand flickered. He whispered to everyone: "I can't hold on any longer..." In the thick fog, the huge spiders pressed forward step by step, and the fishy smell filled the air, making people sick.
Their eight hairy long legs were like sharp blades, making a heart-pounding sound on the ground.
Everyone waved their weapons to resist the waves of attacks from the spiders. Sweat soaked their clothes, and their arms were so numb that they could hardly lift them.
Despair surged into their hearts like a tide. Would they die here today?
In order to protect Grandma Lin, Luo Xiaoyu was sprayed by the spider's venom again, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, staining the front of her clothes red.
She fell to the ground powerlessly, her face as pale as paper.
"Xiaoyu!" Granny Lin exclaimed, rushed to Luo Xiaoyu, and stroked her face with trembling hands.
Everyone gathered around, anxiously checking Luo Xiaoyu's injuries, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating.
Xiaohong looked at the injured Luo Xiaoyu, tears rolling in her eyes, and her heart was like a knife.
She held the hand of the man in white tightly, her fingertips were cold, as if she had lost all her strength.
In the thick fog, the roar of the spiders was getting closer and closer, and everyone's heart was getting heavier and heavier, as if falling into a bottomless abyss.
Just when everyone thought they could only fight to death and resist desperately, the mysterious old man suddenly said: "These spiders are not attacking for no reason, they are attracted by some kind of breath in the maze. As long as a few runes in the maze are destroyed, the spiders can be dispersed."
This sudden discovery, like a flash of lightning that cut through the dark night sky, ignited a glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts.
They looked at the mysterious old man with surprise and hope, as if they saw the hope of life.
The mysterious old man pointed to the depths of the maze and said slowly: "Follow me..."
The mysterious old man led everyone to a hidden corner deep in the maze, where complex runes were engraved and flashed with strange light.
According to the old man's instructions, everyone worked together to destroy the runes.
As the runes were broken, a strange force fluctuated, and the originally restless spiders seemed to be frightened, turning around and fleeing, disappearing in the thick fog.
The crisis was resolved, and everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.
The joy of surviving the disaster spread across everyone's face. They supported each other, with hope in their eyes.
Xiaohong excitedly held the hand of the man in white, feeling the warmth of his palm, her heart full of gratitude and love.
"We finally got rid of those terrible spiders!" Luo Xiaoyu said weakly, with a relieved smile on her face.
"Thanks to the mysterious old man," Doctor Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear, "otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
The man in white carried Luo Xiaoyu on his back, with steady steps and unquestionable strength. Xiaohong helped on the side, while Granny Lin carefully bandaged Zhao the blacksmith's wound, her kind eyes full of concern and worry.
Everyone sat together, sharing simple food and water, encouraging and comforting each other.
The surrounding space seemed to brighten up because of their emotions, the thick fog gradually dissipated, and a ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on them, bringing a glimmer of warmth and hope.
After a short rest, everyone cheered up and continued to look for the exit of the maze.
They moved forward cautiously, with a firm gaze and steady steps.
"Everyone be careful," Elder Chen warned, "There may be other dangers in the maze."
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the front, like the sound of some kind of mechanism being activated...
Everyone continued to grope forward in the maze. The winding passage was like the intestines of a maze monster, deep and endless.
The air was filled with the smell of damp soil, mixed with the smell of rotting unknown plants, which was disgusting.
Suddenly, a faint blue light appeared in front, which was particularly dazzling in the dim maze.
This sudden light, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, instantly ignited the hope in everyone's hearts.
"Look! What is that?" Xiaohong pointed to the light, with a hint of excitement and nervousness in her tone.
Everyone followed the light, and their heartbeats gradually accelerated as the distance shortened.
The light became stronger and stronger, illuminating the surrounding walls, which were engraved with strange runes, like some mysterious text, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
When everyone finally reached the light, they were stunned by the scene before them.
A huge rune array appeared in front of them, flashing with a faint blue light, like a huge vortex, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
The lines of the rune array were intricate, densely intertwined like a spider web, dazzling.
A strange energy filled the air, making people feel numb.
"What is this?" Doctor Zhang frowned, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
"It looks like a huge rune array." Elder Chen carefully observed the rune array, with a thoughtful light in his eyes, "I have seen similar records in ancient books. It is said that this rune array has powerful power and can lead to another world."
Everyone carefully studied the rune array, trying to decipher the mystery.
They carefully touched the runes and felt the strange energy fluctuations.
Suddenly, the rune array glowed brightly, and a strong suction force burst out from the center of the array, enveloping everyone.
"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed, and their bodies flew uncontrollably towards the center of the rune array.
"What is this?" Xiaohong shouted in horror, tightly grasping the hand of the man in white.
The man in white had a solemn expression, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, "Hold me tight!"
The sense of danger became stronger and stronger, and everyone's heart was in their throat.
They didn't know what would happen next, so they could only hold each other's hands tightly and let the strong suction force pull them into the unknown abyss...
"Hold on!" Elder Chen shouted.
The light of the rune array surged, and an irresistible suction force pulled everyone into it.
The sky was spinning, and Xiaohong only felt her body spinning uncontrollably, and the wind whistled past her ears. She closed her eyes tightly and screamed in horror.
There was a dazzling white light around her, and she couldn't see anything clearly. Only the strong sense of weightlessness made her feel palpitations.
She tightly grasped the hand of the man in white, her knuckles whitening, as if she was holding the only life-saving straw.
Others were not much better, Luo Xiaoyu's screams, Grandma Lin's prayers, and Doctor Zhang's exclamations mixed together, forming a noisy sound wave.
The light dissipated, and everyone fell heavily to the ground.
When they adapted to the light in front of them, they found themselves in a strange space.
There were colorful spots of light floating around, as if they were in a dream.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and several phantom warriors holding swords appeared out of thin air and attacked everyone.
"Be careful!" Li Hunter roared, drew out his hunting knife, and blocked everyone.
With the flash of swords and the shadow of swords, Li Hunter fought fiercely with the phantom warriors, and the collision of hunting knives and sword blades made a harsh metal collision sound.
Others also took out their weapons and joined the battle.
There were more and more phantom warriors, and the attacks became more and more fierce.
Everyone gradually lost their strength and was forced into a corner.
Just as he was about to collapse, the man in white suddenly shouted, formed seals with his hands, and a dazzling white light shot out from his hands, hitting a phantom warrior.
The phantom warrior let out a shrill scream and disappeared in a wisp of green smoke.
The space was filled with the light of magic. Doctor Zhang stared at the man in white nervously, praying in his heart.
"Hold on, everyone!" The man in white cast a spell again, repelling several phantom warriors, "I'll cover you, you look for a chance to break through!"
"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison, rekindling their fighting spirit.
The battle continued, and the phantom warriors' attacks surged like a tide...
"We can't go on like this," Doctor Zhang wiped the sweat off his face and panted, "We will be exhausted to death..."
The phantom warriors' attacks were like a storm, continuous.
Everyone waved their weapons, resisting attacks again and again, but their movements became slower and slower, and their breathing became more and more rapid. (End of this chapter)
