Chapter 180 Guiding Light
However, despite being in a dangerous situation, everyone encouraged each other and gritted their teeth to persevere.
Time passed second by second, and everyone's physical and spiritual strength was being rapidly depleted, while the immense pressure showed no signs of abating.
Just when everyone felt they were about to give up, a sudden bright light appeared before their eyes, and a tremendous force violently pushed them out of the vortex.
After they passed through the mysterious vortex, an amazing sight unfolded before them—they found themselves in a vast and lush forest.
The trees in this forest are tall and towering, with lush and intertwined branches and leaves, forming a green canopy.
Even more amazingly, the branches were covered with many fruits that shimmered with a faint light, like stars that had fallen from the night sky.
Driven by curiosity, Huan Yuechu cautiously approached one of the fruit trees, wanting to examine the strange fruits more closely.
Just as she approached, she suddenly heard a clear and ethereal voice drifting over.
"By eating these Power Fruits, one can gain immense power."
The sudden sound startled everyone.
The ever-cautious Su Jinyan immediately became alert, and he frowned as he spoke.
"Could there be some conspiracy or trickery involved? We can't easily believe such things."
However, the little girl blinked and answered nonchalantly.
"What's there to be afraid of! It won't hurt to try." With that, she reached out and picked a fruit without hesitation, then quickly put it in her mouth and swallowed it.
In an instant, a powerful force surged through her entire body like a tidal wave, giving her an unprecedented vitality and aura.
Seeing how easily the little girl gained power, Mu Yang was tempted and followed her example, rushing to pick and eat the mysterious power fruits.
Suddenly, waves of energy filled the forest.
After everyone felt the surging power within them, the group continued forward.
Before long, a towering, steep, and precipitous stone wall suddenly appeared before them, blocking their path.
The stone wall was as smooth as a mirror, and its surface was etched with some strangely shaped grooves, the shapes of which were very similar to some kind of ancient runes they had seen on the road earlier.
Faced with this insurmountable obstacle, everyone fell into deep thought, racking their brains for a way to overcome it.
Just then, a flash of inspiration struck Huan Yuechu. She realized that she might be able to use her spiritual power to solve the mystery.
So she concentrated her mind, mobilized the spiritual power in her body, and precisely injected it into the grooves according to the shape of the runes.
As spiritual energy flowed in continuously, a deep rumble resounded.
The originally closed stone wall began to move slowly, eventually opening completely to reveal a dark staircase leading underground.
Descending the winding staircase, the group finally reached the bottom.
This is an extremely spacious and enormous circular platform, and in the center of the platform, an enormous pearl is quietly suspended in the air.
The pearl emitted a soft and warm light, illuminating the entire space and giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of arriving at their destination, the mysterious person who set up the formation reappeared like a ghost.
He smiled, a smile that seemed to contain endless meaning, and spoke softly.
"Congratulations on successfully passing all the tests of hardship and danger. Now, this dazzling pearl will guide you to where your heart desires."
Upon hearing this, Huan Yuechu and the others were overjoyed and quickly reached out to take the pearl that emitted a mesmerizing light.
The pearl seemed to come alive, gracefully flying away from everyone's palms, slowly rising into the air, and then steadily flying forward, like a guiding light.
Seeing this, everyone followed closely behind without hesitation.
As they continued forward, the surrounding scenery rushed past like a fleeting illusion.
Lush forests, precipitous peaks, and deep canyons flashed by, but the breathtaking scenery did not slow their pace in the slightest.
But no one could have predicted that a sudden crisis was quietly approaching on this seemingly smooth journey.
As night fell, a group of figures dressed in black robes appeared silently on both sides of the road like ghosts.
These mysterious and sinister figures seemed to blend into the darkness, making their presence difficult to detect.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that these people were the remnants of the evil force that had previously struck fear into the hearts of many—the Black-Robed Men!
They were like demons crawling out of the abyss of hell, each with a twisted and ferocious face, radiating a chilling aura.
He gripped various weapons that gleamed coldly in his hands; their icy light was particularly dazzling in the night, exuding a strong killing intent and a bloody aura.
Clearly, this group of men in black robes came prepared, intending to use their superior strength to completely block Huan Yuechu and her group's path.
These men in black robes were not only as agile as rabbits, but also renowned for their cunning and treacherous nature.
Their moves are insidious and ruthless, each strike deadly, showing no mercy whatsoever.
However, even when surrounded by such a powerful enemy, Huan Yuechu and the others showed no fear. Instead, they united closely, demonstrating an unbreakable determination and courage.
Su Jinyan stepped forward, his tall and imposing figure resembling an unshakeable mountain.
He wielded his longsword with great force, each strike containing boundless power, aiming straight for the enemy's vitals.
He charged forward without flinching, engaging in a thrilling head-on confrontation with the man in black robes, fighting bravely against the enemy.
At the same time, Mu Yang was not to be outdone.
He skillfully used his unique abilities to launch surprise attacks from the flanks, delivering unexpected blows to the enemy.
They would quickly set up strong defensive barriers to provide solid protection for their companions.
Meanwhile, Huan Yuechu, positioned at the rear, was fully focused on sensing the enemy's every move.
Her beautiful and deep eyes were now shining with wisdom.
With her keen insight, she was able to accurately pinpoint the enemy's weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
Once she discovers a loophole, she will not hesitate to gather all her spiritual power and unleash a devastating attack that leaves the enemy defenseless.
As time went on, this incredibly fierce battle intensified.
The black-robed man's offensive surged like a tidal wave, one wave higher than the next.
However, Huan Yuechu and the others held their ground and resisted fiercely.
The two sides fought back and forth, neither willing to give an inch, and for a time the sounds of battle shook the heavens, and blood splattered everywhere...
