365: shadow

In the center of the space, a massive stone pillar stood tall, covered in runes that flickered with strange light, as if narrating an ancient tale.

Su Han and Bi Yao stood up and cautiously walked towards the stone pillar.

As they approached the stone pillar, they discovered a groove on it, the shape of which was remarkably similar to the box they had seen on the stone platform earlier.

Su Han's heart stirred. He took out the box from his Pregnant and tried placing it into the groove.

As soon as the box was placed, the runes on the stone pillar flared with intense light, and the entire circular space began to vibrate violently.

With the vibration, the stone pillar slowly rose, revealing a staircase extending downwards beneath it.

The staircase was also covered in runes, exuding a mysterious aura.

Su Han and Bi Yao exchanged glances. They knew that this staircase might lead them to deeper secrets within the relics, but it was also fraught with unknown dangers.

However, their curiosity and desire for exploration left them with no hesitation. With determined steps, they walked down the staircase.

"Let's keep going, but be careful."

"Okay!"

...

...

...

The staircase was very long; they walked for a long time without seeing the end.

The surrounding temperature grew colder, and the air was filled with a suppressive aura.

Su Han tightly held Bi Yao's hand, transmitting strength and courage to her.

Suddenly, strange shadows appeared on the walls of the staircase. These shadows seemed alive, dancing and twisting on the walls.

"Ah, what is this?"

Bi Yao gasped in fright and clung tightly to Su Han.

Su Han watched the shadows warily. Although he no longer had his sword, he was still ready for battle.

The shadows gradually condensed into blurry humanoid figures. They held weapons and slowly advanced towards Su Han and Bi Yao.

Su Han took a deep breath. He focused his mind and mobilized the Spirit Energy within his body.

Although the previous battle with the monster had greatly depleted him, he had to pull himself together now.

When the shadow humanoids approached within a certain distance, Su Han suddenly attacked.

"Go!"

A ball of Spirit Energy light condensed in his palm, which he blasted towards the shadow humanoids.

The light struck the shadow humanoids, emitting a 'sizzling' sound. However, the shadow humanoids merely swayed and did not dissipate.

Bi Yao also suppressed the fear in her heart and shook the Silver Bell in her hand.

The sound of the Silver Bell echoed in this enclosed space. The shadow humanoids seemed affected, and their go ahead speed slowed down.

Su Han and Bi Yao coordinated with each other, attacking with Spirit Energy while interfering with the Silver Bell, struggling to resist the shadow humanoids' attacks.

But the shadow humanoids continuously emerged from the walls. Their pressure grew, and their physical strength was constantly being consumed.

During the intense battle, Su Han suddenly discovered that the shadow humanoids seemed particularly sensitive to a certain rhythm of the Silver Bell.

When Bi Yao adjusted the rhythm of the Silver Bell to a rapid and regular sound, the shadow humanoids' movements became extremely sluggish, and some even began to dissipate.

Su Han quickly told Bi Yao to maintain this rhythm. Then he concentrated all his strength and launched attacks on the sluggish shadow humanoids.

With their close coordination, the shadow humanoids were gradually eliminated.

However, before they could even catch their breath, a more sinister aura suddenly emerged from below the staircase, as if some terrifying existence was slowly awakening. (End of Chapter)
