Chapter 890: Able to Break Through Danger and Regain New Life

Sweat soaked through the clothes, sticking tightly to the body, bringing waves of sticky discomfort.

Despair surged into their hearts like a tide, and they felt like a small boat in the sea, which could be swallowed by the huge waves at any time.

A phantom warrior waved a long sword and stabbed at Grandma Lin.

Seeing this, Luo Xiaoyu rushed forward without thinking and blocked the attack with her body.

"Puff--" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Luo Xiaoyu's body fell softly.

"Xiaoyu!" Everyone exclaimed and quickly surrounded her.

Grandma Lin trembled with her hands, stroking Luo Xiaoyu's cheek, tears streaming down her face.

"Child, why are you doing this..."

Xiaohong looked at Luo Xiaoyu lying in a pool of blood, tears rolling in her eyes.

Her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't make any sound.

She wanted to rush up and hug Luo Xiaoyu, but she knew that she couldn't do anything now.

Just when everyone thought they could only continue to fight to the death, fight to the death, sweat profusely, and the sound of weapons colliding and soldiers' roars resounded throughout the space, Elder Chen suddenly exclaimed: "Wait! I seem to have discovered something!"

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes, mixed with surprise and hope, all looked at Elder Chen.

He pointed at a phantom warrior and said excitedly: "Look, their movements... seem to be repeating a ritual!"

"Ritual?" Everyone was puzzled.

Elder Chen pointed at the movements of the phantom warrior and said word by word: "If we also follow their movements..." He paused, staring at everyone with burning eyes, "Maybe, we can stop this battle!"

Everyone looked at each other, full of doubts and expectations.

"Then... let's try?" Doctor Zhang asked tentatively.

Everyone imitated the movements of the phantom warriors with trepidation and hope.

Sometimes they raised their arms, sometimes bent their waists and knees, and although their movements were a little unfamiliar, they also revealed a firm strength.

As the last move was completed, a miracle happened!

The phantom warriors stopped attacking as if they were under a spell of immobilization. The black mist emanating from their bodies gradually dissipated, and finally turned into soft rays of light, pouring into everyone's body.

A warm current rushed through their bodies, as if a long drought had finally come to an end, nourishing their limbs and bones.

Xiaohong felt that her body had become extremely light, as if she could fly.

Luo Xiaoyu's pale face also regained a trace of rosiness. She was surprised to find that the injury on her chest was slowly healing.

Li the Hunter waved his arms and felt his strength doubled, as if he could smash the boulder with his bare hands.

Others felt similarly, and they all exclaimed, their faces filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

"Success! We really succeeded!" Luo Xiaoyu jumped up excitedly, and her originally heavy breathing became brisk.

"This feels great! I feel full of strength!" She couldn't help waving her fists, feeling the changes in her body.

Xiaohong also hugged Granny Lin excitedly, her eyes moistened, and she choked up and said, "Granny, we're fine, really fine!" Granny Lin patted her on the back, with a relieved smile on her face.

The surrounding space also seemed to feel the joy of the crowd, and the floating light spots became brighter, illuminating the entire space like daylight.

Doctor Zhang clenched his fists tightly, feeling the surging power in his body, and the original fatigue was swept away, replaced by an indescribable excitement.

Blacksmith Zhao couldn't help but let out a loud cry, venting his excitement, and roared like a lion.

The man in white carefully picked up the injured Luo Xiaoyu, with a hint of tenderness and concern in his eyes.

Xiaohong hurried forward to help, wiping the blood off Luo Xiaoyu's face with a clean cloth.

Her

At this moment, this strange space was filled with the joy of surviving the disaster, and the warm atmosphere of mutual help and friendship swept away the tense atmosphere of the previous battle.

Everyone's face was filled with bright smiles, celebrating each other, and the relationship became closer.

Suddenly, the mysterious old man slowly walked out of the void, his eyes were deep, with a mysterious smile on his lips, and he whispered: "Children, you are very good... But the real test has just begun."

Everyone passed through the layers of light curtains and came to the center of the rune array.

A huge energy crystal was suspended in the air, emitting a soft light, like a huge night pearl, illuminating the entire space.

Mysterious runes flowed on the surface of the crystal, as if it contained endless energy, and the powerful power fluctuations spread like ripples, making everyone feel palpitations.

"What is this?" Luo Xiaoyu widened her eyes and exclaimed.

"Such a powerful energy..." Doctor Zhang muttered to himself, with excitement in his eyes.

Xiaohong held the hand of the man in white tightly, feeling the warmth from the palm of her hand, and her heart was both excited and nervous.

She could feel that this crystal contained great power, which might change their fate.

Everyone approached the crystal cautiously, fearing to disturb this mysterious power.

As the distance got closer, they could feel the energy fluctuations of the crystal more clearly, as if the heart was beating, strong and powerful.

"This power... seems to be able to change our fate..." Elder Chen said in a deep voice, with wisdom flashing in his eyes.

Everyone held their breath, stretched out their hands, and gently touched the surface of the crystal.

A powerful energy instantly surged into their bodies, flowing through their bodies like an electric current.

They felt an unprecedented power surging in their bodies, as if they had unlimited possibilities.

However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of this power, something strange happened.

Their bodies suddenly showed some strange reactions, and strange runes appeared on their skin, flashing red light, as if something was resisting this power.

"Ah!" Luo Xiaoyu screamed, quickly retracted her hand, and looked at the runes on her arm in horror.

Others also discovered the abnormality in their bodies, and their faces showed horrified expressions.

They didn't know what consequences this reaction would bring, but the feeling of danger became stronger and stronger, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"This... what's going on?" Xiaohong asked in a trembling voice,

"I... I don't know..." The man in white looked solemn,

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts and fear.

They didn't know what would happen next, but they knew they were about to face new challenges...

"My body...can't be controlled..." Zhao the blacksmith gritted his teeth, his body trembling more and more.

"This power...is so terrible..." Doctor Zhang was pale and sweating profusely.

The wave came.

Luo Xiaoyu looked at the rune on her arm in horror, and whispered tremblingly: "What the hell is this..." The others were not much better, and they looked at each other in panic, their eyes full of fear.

The energy crystals around them flickered, flickering, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression, as if foreshadowing a greater danger was coming.

"Everyone, try to suppress it with your own power!" Elder Chen shouted hoarsely.

Everyone quickly concentrated their minds and tried to mobilize the power in their bodies, but this energy disappeared like a drop in the ocean.

The panic spread rapidly like a plague, and everyone's face was full of despair.

Suddenly, the energy fluctuations of the crystal intensified, and a powerful backlash force broke out. Everyone was knocked down by the impact, and screams came one after another.

Doctor Zhang was unable to dodge, and was affected by the energy wave, hitting the stone wall, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

At the critical moment, the man in white flashed out, and his hands formed seals. A powerful magic power instantly surged out, forming a barrier to block the impact of energy.

The surrounding space flickered due to the fluctuations of magic power. Granny Lin looked at the man in white anxiously, her lips trembling, but she couldn't make any sound.

The man in white had a solemn face, and beads of sweat slid down his forehead. The magic barrier was shaky under the powerful energy impact.

"If this goes on... I can't hold on..." He gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.

The burning sensation of the scarlet rune became more and more intense, like thousands of steel needles piercing into the bone marrow, and the pain made everyone almost faint.

Energy shocks came one after another, as if they were going to tear their bodies apart, their internal organs were displaced, and they groaned in despair.

Despair swallowed them like an abyss, and everyone's face was full of helplessness and fear. Their bodies trembled involuntarily, and their clothes were soaked with sweat. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and despair.

"Ah--!" Luo Xiaoyu could no longer hold on, she screamed, her eyes rolled up, and she fell heavily to the ground.

The runes on her arms seemed to come alive at this moment, and the scarlet light kept beating, like a flame burning on the skin.

Everyone exclaimed and quickly surrounded her, calling her name anxiously, but there was no response.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing, as if an invisible big hand had strangled everyone's throat, and even breathing became difficult.

Xiaohong looked at the unconscious Luo Xiaoyu, and tears could no longer be held back. They rolled in her eyes, and crystal tears slid down her cheeks.

She bit her lips tightly, trying her best to control her emotions and not let herself collapse. The pain and anxiety in her heart surged like a tide, almost drowning her.

At this moment, Elder Chen suddenly seemed to think of something, and he shouted excitedly: "No! This doesn't look like a backlash, this is the energy crystal testing us! As long as we are determined, we can overcome it!" Although his voice was a little trembling, it was full of power, like a flash of lightning in the dark night, illuminating the confusion of the crowd.

When everyone heard this, it was like a revelation, and they woke up instantly.

Only then did they understand that this was not a simple energy backlash, but a test of their will by the energy crystal.

Before, they fell into fear and were overwhelmed.

Now they must cheer up and fight this energy with a firm will!

"Yes, that's right!" Doctor Zhang was the first to react, and the fire of hope rekindled in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, felt the surging power in his body, and tried to control those restless runes.

Then, Li the Hunter, Zhao the Blacksmith, and Grandma Lin…

They all adjusted their mindsets, tried to calm their fears, and began to strengthen their will.

Their faces were filled with confident smiles again, and their bodies were gradually adapting to the impact of energy.

The surrounding space seemed to gradually become brighter because of their changes.

The man in white held Xiaohong's hand tightly, and the warmth of his palm conveyed firmness and strength.

Xiaohong raised her eyes, her eyes were as gentle as water, and she stared into the deep eyes of the man in white, where her figure was reflected, full of endless love and protection.

She felt a warm current flowing through her body, and fear receded like a tide, replaced by full trust and dependence.

This is the power of love, which gave her unlimited courage in times of crisis.

Li Liehu's honest face was full of worry. He carefully helped the unconscious Luo Xiaoyu up, and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with his rough fingertips.

He treated Luo Xiaoyu like his own sister. He gently held Luo Xiaoyu in his arms, let her lean on his warm chest, and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The ruins that were originally filled with despair and fear were now filled with a warm feeling of mutual help and friendship.

Everyone no longer fought alone, but united tightly together, supported each other, and faced the difficulties in front of them together.

Their eyes were full of hope, and their bodies gradually adapted to the impact of this energy as their wills became firmer.

However, just when everyone thought that they could successfully absorb the energy as long as they had a firm will, something strange happened.

The energy crystal suddenly vibrated violently, and the light became more dazzling, like a small sun releasing dazzling light.

Then, several cracks appeared on the surface of the crystal, and several small crystals separated from the mother body, with dazzling light, flying towards everyone.

This sudden change caught everyone off guard. They looked at the small crystals flying towards them in surprise, with shock and confusion on their faces.

Originally thought that as long as they persisted, they could get through the difficulties, but now there are new changes. Is this a test or a crisis?

Everyone's eyes followed those small crystals closely, their hearts were full of doubts, and at the same time, they were also a little curious.

They subconsciously reached out and carefully caught those small crystals emitting soft light.

The small crystals were warm and smooth like jade, but with a strange energy fluctuation.

The man in white was the first to feel the slight vibration of the crystal in his hand. He frowned and was about to speak when he heard a puzzled whisper from beside him:

"This is..."

The moment the small crystal was in his hand, a warm current spread from the palm of his hand to his whole body. The originally restless scarlet runes seemed to have found a home, and gently merged into the body, perfectly matching with his own power.

Everyone was surprised to find that the energy that was originally difficult to control was now at their fingertips, and the power had made a qualitative leap compared to before.

Excitement and tension intertwined, they felt unprecedentedly powerful, but they felt a little uneasy about this sudden power.

Doctor Zhang took the lead in trying. He injected his true energy into the small crystal in his hand. The crystal glowed brightly, and a pure energy was fed back into his body, repairing his previously damaged meridians.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was his injury healed, but his true energy was also more pure and rich, as if he was ten years younger.

Others also tried it. Li the Hunter felt a strong force surge into his body. He waved the hunting knife in his hand, and the blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and the power was several times higher than before.

Zhao the Blacksmith felt as if he had infinite power. He swung the hammer and easily smashed a huge piece of iron into thin slices, sparks flew, and made a deafening sound.

Granny Lin felt a warm energy wrapped around her, and her originally hunched body straightened a little. She felt full of vitality, as if she had returned to her youth.

Xiaohong and the man in white looked at each other, and both of them were full of surprise and expectation.

They injected their true energy into the small crystals in their hands at the same time. The two crystals emitted dazzling light, and a strong energy surrounded the two people, forming an energy vortex.

They felt a strong force tightly connecting the two people, as if they were connected in mind, and their strength was also multiplied.

As the power of everyone increased, the runes in the rune array began to change.

The originally dim runes gradually lit up, emitting dazzling light, resonating with each other, and the entire rune array seemed to come alive, emitting a buzzing vibration sound.

The light became stronger and stronger, almost blinding everyone's eyes, and the vibration became more and more violent. The ground began to tremble, and everyone felt dizzy and a strong sense of uneasiness rose in their hearts.

They didn't know what consequences this resonance would bring, but the sense of danger became stronger and stronger, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"This... what's going on?" Luo Xiaoyu woke up slowly, looking at the dazzling light and violent vibration in front of her, and asked in horror.

Elder Chen's face was solemn, his eyes were fixed on the changes in the rune array, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing..."

The strong light burst out, and the rune array was blazing white. Everyone's eyes were blurred and they couldn't see anything clearly.

The buzzing sound in their ears was deafening, as if thousands of giant hammers were hitting their heads.

A powerful force bound them tightly, and their bodies could not move, like insects trapped in amber.

Fear surged like a tide. Luo Xiaoyu tightly grasped Xiaohong's hand, her fingertips cold and trembling.

The runes around her flickered more violently, flickering like breathing, and each flicker was accompanied by a strong energy fluctuation.

A strange energy permeated the air, stimulating everyone's skin and causing bursts of tingling.

The dangerous atmosphere became thicker and thicker, and everyone was almost unable to breathe.

An ominous premonition enveloped everyone's heart, as if something terrible was about to happen.

Suddenly, puppets shining with rune light emerged from the rune array.

They have different shapes, some are humanoid, some are beast-like, but without exception, they all exude cold murderous aura.

These rune puppets wielded weapons made of runes, emitting sharp whistles, and launched a fierce attack on everyone.

Caught off guard, everyone was hit one after another.

Although Zhao the blacksmith was strong, he could not resist the puppet's fierce attack. He was accidentally hit in the chest, uttered a muffled groan, and staggered back a few steps.

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, staining his clothes red. (End of this chapter)
