Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 125 The Temple That Suddenly Appeared

Huan Yuechu gently patted Wen Xingyu's shoulder and softly comforted her.

"Alright, don't blame yourself too much. Although we encountered some trouble this time, thankfully we escaped unharmed. However, after this experience, we need to be more careful in the future."

After hearing Huan Yuechu's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Then, they composed themselves, carefully navigated around the perilous valley, and continued their unknown journey ahead.

The group continued along the path, and as darkness fell, the surroundings became eerily quiet.

At that very moment, the sight not far ahead made everyone stop in their tracks.

An abandoned temple suddenly appeared before us like a silent behemoth, standing there quietly, seemingly out of place with the world around it.

The temple appears to have been forgotten by time and looks dilapidated.

The temple gates were tightly shut, like an insurmountable barrier, blocking out all the noise and bustle of the outside world.

The dilapidated door was teetering on the brink of collapse, covered with mottled marks, as if telling the story of the vicissitudes of the past.

Through the crack in the door, one could see that it was pitch black inside, filled with a chilling and eerie atmosphere.

It seems to conceal countless unknown fears; just one glance is enough to send chills down one's spine and instill fear in one's heart.

"It seems we have no choice but to make do here for the night."

Huan Yuechu looked at the temple in front of her, a hint of helplessness on her face.

Her voice echoed in the silent night sky, carrying a hint of resentment yet also a sense of helplessness.

Hearing this, the others were equally unwilling, but after looking around, they found that there was indeed no other suitable place to stay.

So, the group had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, approaching the seemingly heavy temple door.

Everyone worked together, stretching out their hands and pushing the door open.

With a dull creak, the temple door slowly opened, and a strong smell of dust rushed in like a raging torrent, instantly filling the nasal cavity and causing people to cough incessantly.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the temple was covered with thick dust and dense cobwebs, as if it had been forgotten by time for a long time.

Mu Yang couldn't help but shiver and muttered under his breath, "This place feels so eerie!"

Hearing his words, the others felt a chill run down their spines, but they still gritted their teeth and went inside.

After much effort, the group finally managed to clear a relatively clean spot where they could sit down and rest for a while.

However, everyone was on edge, as no one knew what kind of danger lurked in this eerie place.

Just in the middle of the night, Huan Yuechu, who was originally immersed in a dream, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the ground.

She seemed to have just heard an extremely low murmur, a voice so faint it seemed to come from the underworld.

Huan Yuechu quickly reached out and woke up her companion, speaking in a low voice.

"Wake up! I think I heard something!"

The awakened group was instantly wide awake, each of them perking up their ears to listen to the sounds around them.

Sure enough, the deep murmur came again, and this time it sounded even clearer.

The group looked at each other, then decided to follow the sound in the direction it came from.

They carefully passed through the temple and came to the back of the temple.

There, they discovered a hidden secret room.

The entrance to the secret chamber was blocked by a heavy stone door, which was covered with all sorts of strange symbols.

These symbols exude a mysterious and ancient aura, leaving people puzzled.

Mu Yang stared wide-eyed, leaned forward, and cautiously approached the mysterious stone tablet.

He stretched out his fingers and gently touched the ancient and intricate patterns, his eyes revealing an expression of disbelief.

After a long while, he came to his senses and cried out in a trembling voice.

"This...this seems to be a legendary, long-lost forbidden spell!"

Just as he finished speaking, the stone tablet that had been standing there quietly suddenly shone with an eerie light.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow shot out from the monument like lightning.

The dark figure bared its fangs and brandished its ferocious expression, emitting chilling roars as it lunged straight at the group.

Faced with this sudden attack, Huan Yuechu, who was standing at the forefront, reacted quickly.

She formed a hand seal, then let out a delicate shout, and a sword aura, flashing with cold light, slashed towards the dark figure.

At the same time, the other companions also unleashed their own unique skills and magical treasures, creating a dazzling display of light and sword energy.

The two sides engaged in a thrilling and fierce battle.

The shadowy figure was incredibly fast and powerful. It would sometimes transform into a cloud of black mist and sometimes solidify into a physical form, making its attack trajectory difficult to predict.

However, the group was not intimidated by its ferocity. They cooperated closely, supported each other, and gradually stabilized their position.

After a fierce and arduous battle, the shadowy figure finally began to tire.

Under the combined attack of the powerful forces, its form became increasingly illusory, and finally slowly dissipated into the air.

Watching the dark figure disappear, Huan Yuechu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with lingering fear.

"This place is too dangerous; we shouldn't stay any longer. Let's leave quickly."

The others nodded in agreement, and the group hurriedly left the eerie temple and continued on their journey.

But after that life-or-death struggle, everyone felt a deeper sense of awe and increased caution towards the unknown road ahead.

The group walked slowly along the winding path, and no one spoke a word along the way, creating an unusually oppressive and somber atmosphere.

Everyone had their heads down, as if shrouded in an invisible pressure, and even their breathing became cautious.

Just then, the once clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and the thick, dark clouds pressed down like a black mountain.

As if summoned by some mysterious force, the surrounding trees began to shake wildly, their branches and leaves colliding and crackling.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yang, who had been following closely behind, immediately shouted, "Something's wrong! There must be something strange going on here!"

However, before he could finish speaking, the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently as if it had gone mad.

With a deafening roar, an enormous stone beast burst forth from the ground.

This stone beast exudes an ancient and weathered aura, as if it has been asleep for thousands of years.

Its two eyes, as big as copper bells, emitted a sinister light that sent chills down one's spine.

Huan Yuechu, who was standing at the very front of the group, flashed like a ghost and disappeared into a place where no one could see her.

With lightning speed, she pulled an unremarkable sword from her bosom, as if the sword had long been an extension of herself.

Huan Yuechu gripped the hilt tightly, feeling the coolness and slight tremor emanating from the blade, as if it too was excited about the upcoming fierce battle.

She took a deep breath, suddenly raised her voice an octave, and shouted loudly.

"Everyone must be careful and not let your guard down in the slightest!"
