377: Blue Flame

Immediately after, the group of Monsters began to slowly approach, their eyes flickering with greedy light, seemingly having already considered Su Han and Bi Yao as prey they were about to obtain.

Su Han took a deep breath and said to Bi Yao, "In a moment, I'll charge up to attract their attention, and you find an opportunity to escape."

Bi Yao, however, shook her head firmly, "No, we'll find a way together, I won't leave you alone."

Just as the group of Monsters was about to launch their attack, Su Han suddenly remembered the stone slab in his embrace.

He quickly took out the stone slab and found that the half-map on the slab, under the illumination of the red light, actually began to reveal more details.

On the map, in addition to the burning torch and the Deep Blue Vortex, there were also some small characters, seemingly clues on how to break the rune formation.

Su Han didn't have time to examine it carefully, so he handed the stone slab to Bi Yao, "You take a look at what's written on it first, I'll hold them off!"

After speaking, he gripped his dagger tightly and charged towards the group of Monsters.

The dagger struck sparks on the Monsters' scales, and Su Han flexibly dodged their attacks while simultaneously searching for their weaknesses.

Bi Yao squatted on the ground, carefully examining the text on the stone slab by the faint torchlight.

The characters seemed to be some kind of ancient language she had never seen before, but miraculously, when she focused her attention, the meaning of these characters automatically appeared in her mind.

It turned out that to break the rune formation, they had to find the three key nodes hidden on the altar.

Only by activating them simultaneously could they break the Seal and extinguish the Deep Blue Flame.

Bi Yao raised her head and shouted loudly to Su Han, "I know what to do! We need to find the three key nodes on the altar!"

Su Han replied while fighting, "You go look first, I'll hold them off here!"

Bi Yao cautiously approached the altar, continuously dodging the Monsters' attacks along the way.

Her heart was pounding rapidly, and every step she took was filled with danger.

Finally, she arrived near the altar and began to carefully search for the three key nodes.

At this moment, the Monster King seemed to sense Bi Yao's intention, let out a roar, and charged towards her.

Seeing this, Su Han unhesitatingly blocked in front of Bi Yao and engaged in a fierce battle with the Monster King.

The Monster King's strength was immense, and every attack caused Su Han intense pain, but he gritted his teeth and desperately resisted.

Bi Yao didn't have time to worry about Su Han; she was completely focused on searching for the key nodes on the altar.

Finally, she found a raised crystal in a corner of the altar, on which was carved a rune similar to the one on the stone slab.

Following the instructions on the stone slab, she placed her hand on the crystal and pressed down hard.

The crystal emitted a dazzling light, and the red light of the rune formation seemed to weaken slightly.

However, at this very moment, a Monster suddenly pounced on Bi Yao from behind.

Bi Yao heard the movement behind her and instinctively lunged forward, dodging the Monster's attack.

But her knee struck the altar heavily, causing her so much pain she could barely stand up.

Seeing Bi Yao in danger, Su Han's heart grew anxious, and he swung his dagger even more fiercely.

He spotted a weak point in the Monster King and forcefully plunged his dagger into a gap in its shell.

The Monster King let out a tragic cry, and its massive body stumbled back a few steps.

Bi Yao took the opportunity to stand up and continued searching for the remaining two key nodes.

On the other side of the altar, she found a recessed groove with a white bone inserted in it.

She pulled out the white bone, and the rune formation changed again, with more red light beginning to recede.

Only the last key node remained, and Bi Yao was consumed by anxiety.
