Chapter 124 Clues
The darkness was as black as ink, swallowing all light, with only the eerie green glow emanating from the maze walls flickering like will-o'-the-wisps.
Zhuang Yu frowned. He could feel that the spiritual energy around him was abnormally chaotic, like countless invisible threads entangled and hindering his perception.
This maze was more cunning than the ones we had encountered before, as if it were alive, constantly changing its shape and making it difficult to fathom.
Anxiety grew in his heart like vines, weaving and entwining his thoughts.
They moved forward cautiously, each step taken with extreme care.
The cold stone slabs beneath their feet had a rough texture that was clearly audible on the soles of their shoes. The walls around them emitted a dim light, as if countless eyes were watching them from the darkness.
A musty smell filled the air, making people feel uneasy.
The deep roar still echoed in the distance, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry, as if mocking them.
Suddenly, the road ahead came to an abrupt end, and they were stuck in a dead end.
The smooth stone wall had no gaps, and the eerie green light danced on it, making it even more unsettling.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath and tried to use his spiritual power to probe his surroundings, but found that his spiritual power was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, with no reaction at all.
His heart sank. The loss of spiritual power made them like ferocious beasts with their teeth pulled out, depriving them of their most powerful weapon.
A feeling of frustration spread through him, like an invisible net binding him tightly.
He knew they might really be trapped here; the maze was like a giant cage, holding them inside.
Wang Yao sensed his change in mood. She gently took his hand, and the warm touch dispelled some of the chill.
Her voice was like a clear spring, carrying a hint of comfort, "Don't be discouraged, Zhuang Yu, we will definitely find a way out."
Her gaze was firm yet gentle, like a bright lamp illuminating the shadows in his heart.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
He knew this was not the time to be discouraged; they had to find a way out.
He slowly turned his gaze to the surrounding walls, trying to find a clue.
Zhuang Yu calmed down and carefully observed the surrounding walls.
The eerie green light danced on the stone wall, like countless tiny fireflies fluttering about.
He slowly moved his gaze, like a hunter searching for the tracks of his prey, not missing a single detail.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on an inconspicuous spot.
It was a set of extremely small engravings, almost blending into the texture of the stone wall, and could not be detected without careful observation.
A thought struck him, and he quickly leaned closer to take a closer look.
The engravings were chaotic, but upon closer inspection, they seemed to follow a certain pattern.
He stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the engravings. The texture was rough and cold, as if he were touching an ancient secret.
His heart raced slightly, and a strange sense of excitement welled up inside him.
He believed this was no coincidence; it must be a key clue to solving the maze!
"Wang Yao, look here!" he called out excitedly to Wang Yao, his voice trembling slightly.
His eyes shone with hope, like the brightest star in the night sky.
Wang Yao came over upon hearing the sound and looked curiously at the place he was pointing to.
"What is this?" she asked in a soft, gentle voice.
"It's a clue!" Zhuang Yu said decisively, his tone full of certainty.
“These markings must be the markers that guide us out of the maze!” He told Wang Yao about his discovery, his voice full of confidence, as if he had already seen the hope of escaping the maze.
Wang Yao carefully examined the engravings on the wall. Although she was still somewhat confused, she chose to trust Zhuang Yu's judgment.
She could feel the positive energy emanating from him, and this energy also infected her.
Zhuang Yu began to study the markings carefully, and he discovered that they seemed to be guiding them in the right direction.
According to the markings, they should proceed along a passage that looked extremely dangerous.
The entrance to this passage was pitch black, like the mouth of a giant beast, ready to devour everything at any moment.
Seeing the appearance of the passage, Wang Yao hesitated and tugged at Zhuang Yu's sleeve, "Zhuang Yu, this path doesn't look very safe..."
“It is precisely because it is unsafe that there may be a way out.” Zhuang Yu interrupted her without hesitation. His eyes were firm, as if he could see through the fog. “Trust me.” He took Wang Yao’s hand and did not give her any chance to back down. He walked straight into the passage.
A cold and eerie atmosphere swept over them. The passage was darker than the rest of the maze, and a strange smell permeated the air, carrying a hint of dampness and decay.
The walls were covered with moss, which felt slippery to the touch, as if some kind of life was wriggling around.
Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao walked cautiously through the passage, their spiritual energy slowly circulating within them, ready to deal with any unknown dangers at any moment.
Suddenly, a misty light and shadow appeared at the end of the passage, and amidst the interplay of light and shadow, some illusory figures emerged...
As the light and shadow at the end of the passage gradually became clearer, those illusory figures were not illusions, but phantoms formed by some kind of energy. They had ferocious faces, let out silent roars, and brandished translucent weapons as they pounced on Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao.
The battle is about to break out.
Zhuang Yu shielded Wang Yao behind him, his spiritual energy surging and transforming into sharp sword energies, slashing at the approaching phantoms.
The sword energy sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound, colliding with the phantom and bursting out with dazzling light.
However, these phantoms are not physical entities. Although the sword energy can disperse them, they will quickly re-condense, like maggots clinging to bones, constantly surging in.
Wang Yao was not without strength. Although her cultivation was not as high as Zhuang Yu's, her cultivation technique was mainly for support and healing. She formed hand seals, and soft rays of light enveloped Zhuang Yu, replenishing his consumed spiritual power and strengthening his defense.
The phantoms multiplied and their attacks intensified, and Zhuang Yu gradually began to feel the strain.
The surrounding space was thrown into chaos by the phantoms, greatly interfering with his senses and making it difficult to accurately judge the phantoms' attack trajectories.
He was anxious, worried that Wang Yao might get hurt.
"This can't go on!" Zhuang Yu thought to himself.
He must find a way to break the deadlock.
He suddenly remembered the strange power he had absorbed in the mysterious space before; that power seemed to contain some kind of special law.
He took a deep breath, mobilized the power within his body, and tried to integrate it into his spell.
With the infusion of that power, the spiritual energy in Zhuang Yu's hand underwent a strange change. The originally sharp sword energy became more solid, radiating a powerful pressure.
With a sudden thought, he condensed this power into a huge sphere of light, which radiated a dazzling light, like a small sun.
"Break!" Zhuang Yu shouted, forcefully pushing the ball of light forward.
The ball of light pierced the darkness, crashing into the phantom horde like a meteor.
With a deafening roar, the sphere of light exploded, releasing a powerful energy shockwave that instantly destroyed the surrounding phantoms.
The light from the explosion illuminated the entire passage, dispelling the darkness and the gloom in Zhuang Yu's heart.
Zhuang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, a confident smile spreading across his face. Wang Yao, seeing Zhuang Yu's strength,
However, at that moment, a deep roar came from the depths of the passage, and the ground began to shake violently...
"careful!
Zhuang Yu pulled Wang Yao behind him, his eyes warily fixed on the depths of the passage.
Deep within the passage, a colossal creature slowly emerged. It resembled a giant python, its body covered in thick scales, radiating a suffocating aura of power.
The giant python stared intently at Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao with its scarlet eyes, letting out a deafening roar. A foul stench wafted over, making people want to vomit.
"Be careful!" Zhuang Yu shielded Wang Yao behind him, his spiritual power surging in his hands, transforming into a solid barrier to resist the giant python's oppressive aura.
The giant python opened its blood-red maw, and a black energy ball shot out, crashing into the barrier with a deafening explosion.
Wang Yao stood behind Zhuang Yu, her hands forming a hand seal. Soft rays of light enveloped Zhuang Yu, replenishing his depleted spiritual energy.
At the same time, she was also observing the giant python's weaknesses, trying to find a way to break through.
The python's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and cracks began to appear in the barrier.
Zhuang Yu gritted his teeth, desperately maintaining the barrier, sweat streaming down his face.
He must find a way to deal with this giant python as soon as possible, or they will all perish here.
"Its weakness is in its abdomen!" Wang Yao suddenly shouted.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yu immediately understood what Wang Yao meant.
He mobilized the remaining spiritual energy within his body, condensing it into a sharp sword aura, aiming at the giant python's belly, and thrusting it out fiercely.
The sword energy sliced through the air and struck the giant python's abdomen precisely, causing blood to gush out.
The giant python let out a painful roar, and its massive body writhed violently.
Taking advantage of the situation, Zhuang Yu intensified his attack, unleashing a barrage of sword energy that slashed and wounded the giant python's abdomen.
The giant python finally collapsed, and the passage returned to calm.
Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao both breathed a sigh of relief. They supported each other and walked step by step towards the end of the passage.
When they finally emerged from the passage, they found themselves facing a massive barrier.
The barrier radiated a dazzling light, like an insurmountable chasm.
Zhuang Yu reached out and touched the barrier, feeling the powerful energy fluctuations emanating from it, his brows furrowing.
"What...what is this?" Wang Yao asked in surprise.
Zhuang Yu did not answer; he simply stood silently before the massive barrier, carefully studying its structure…
"It seems the real test has only just begun," he said in a low voice, his tone firm.
