362: Unknown monster
Bi Yao slowly closed her eyes, her brow slightly furrowed, immersed in the images brought by the mysterious power flooding into her mind.
Su Han stood anxiously to the side, staring intently at Bi Yao's face, trying to catch a hint from her expression.
"I... I saw a massive stone door, carved with strange symbols and patterns, and surrounded by thick mist."
Bi Yao spoke slowly, her voice carrying a hint of daze, as if she was still immersed in that mysterious scene.
"The stone door slowly opened, and a dazzling light shone from within. Something in the light seemed to be calling to us."
A flicker of excitement and anticipation flashed in Su Han's eyes. He clenched his fist and said:
"It seems this crystal ball is guiding us deeper into the relics. Perhaps the key to unlocking all these mysteries is hidden behind that stone door."
After resting briefly and recovering some stamina, the two decided to proceed in the direction indicated by the crystal ball.
They walked along a winding passage. The walls of the passage were carved with various ancient murals.
Those murals depicted ancient wars, sacrifices, and the appearances of some strange creatures, as if telling them of the relics' past glory and mystery.
As they went deeper, the surrounding temperature gradually dropped, and the air was filled with a damp and cold aura.
Su Han gripped the sword in his hand vigilantly, his eyes constantly watching the movements around him.
Bi Yao followed closely behind him, her Silver Bell also ready to make a sound at any moment to deal with potential danger.
Suddenly, a low roar came from ahead. The sound echoed in the passage, shaking their eardrums painfully.
Su Han and Bi Yao exchanged glances, their eyes filled with vigilance.
They cautiously walked forward, only to see a massive cave appear at the end of the passage.
Thick mist filled the cave, making it impossible to see anything, but the roaring sound came precisely from deep within the cave.
Su Han took a deep breath and said, "No matter what's inside, we must deal with it carefully."
Bi Yao nodded, gripping the Silver Bell tightly in her hand. The two slowly stepped into the cave. The mist instantly enveloped them, and their vision became extremely blurred.
Relying on his keen senses, Su Han cautiously fumbled his way forward, taking every step with extreme care.
Just then, a massive claw suddenly stretched out from the mist and grabbed towards Su Han.
Su Han reacted quickly and immediately swung his sword to block.
With a "clang", the sword and claw collided, sending out a shower of sparks.
The claw's strength was immense, numbing Su Han's arm from the impact.
"Bi Yao, be careful! There's still an unknown monster in this cave!" Su Han shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Bi Yao immediately shook the Silver Bell in her hand. The crisp ringing echoed in the cave.
Under the influence of the ringing, the claw seemed to be somehow restrained and paused for a moment.
Su Han seized the opportunity to attack, thrusting towards the direction of the claw.
However, the monster seemed extremely cunning. The moment Su Han attacked, the claw quickly retracted and disappeared into the mist.
Su Han and Bi Yao stood back to back, vigilantly watching the surrounding mist, trying to catch a trace of the monster.
Suddenly, they heard a slight movement behind them. The two almost turned around at the same time.
They saw a massive lizard-like monster slowly approaching them.
Its body was covered in sharp scales, its eyes gleamed with blood-red light, and green viscous liquid constantly dripped from its mouth, emitting a nauseating smell.
Su Han's heart tightened. He knew this monster was even more troublesome than the one they had encountered before.
"Bi Yao, keep shaking the Silver Bell to interfere with its movements!" Su Han shouted.
Bi Yao immediately did as she was told, and the sound of the Silver Bell rang out again. (End of Chapter)
