404: Black lines?

The Monster slowly moved towards the shore, each step causing the ground to shake violently.

The river water in the dark river also surged with huge waves from its movement, crashing against the rocks on the shore.

Su Han took a deep breath; he knew this was no time for fear, and he had to devise a countermeasure before the Monster came ashore.

He looked at Bi Yao, and although she was in poor condition, the determination in her eyes somewhat reassured him.

The Grave Keeper suddenly spoke, "Su Han, the scales on this Monster are somewhat similar to Erosion Abyss, but not entirely the same.

I suspect it is a powerful existence of the same kind as Erosion Abyss, but I don't know why it appeared here."

Su Han frowned and said, "No matter why, we can only find a way to deal with it now.

Grave Keeper, do you have any ideas?"

The Grave Keeper shook her head and said, "Currently, I don't have any good ideas, but I've noticed this Monster's movement speed is relatively slow.

Perhaps we can use this to find its weakness."

Su Han nodded and said, "Then let's try."

While they were discussing their strategy, the Monster had already approached the shore.

Part of its massive body had emerged from the water, its blood-red eyes staring fixedly at them, as if to devour them.

Su Han gripped his short sword, preparing to fight the Monster.

Bi Yao also struggled to stand up; although the Soul-Devouring Curse in her body was still acting up, she couldn't just watch Su Han face danger alone.

Just as the Monster was about to pounce ashore, Su Han suddenly felt a powerful force surge from his body.

He was surprised to find that this power seemed to emanate from the Grave Keeper.

The Grave Keeper looked at Su Han and Bi Yao, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes, and said:

"This is my secret power; perhaps it can give us a glimmer of hope.

But using it will come at a great cost to me."

Su Han and Bi Yao exchanged a glance, then nodded firmly.

The Grave Keeper began to unleash her power; a strange light shimmered around her, and a powerful Spirit Energy fluctuation rushed towards the Monster.

The Monster was struck by this force, its body trembled slightly, but it quickly reacted, roaring furiously, and lunged at the Grave Keeper.

Su Han and Bi Yao seized the opportunity to launch an attack. Su Han unleashed his Cold Jade Art with full power, and streaks of cold Sword Qi shot towards the Monster.

Bi Yao also mobilized all the power within her body; black flames and green Spiritual Qi intertwined, forming a powerful attack wave that assailed the Monster.

The Monster was hit by their attacks, and a puff of black smoke emerged from its body.

But it quickly adjusted; its tentacles became even more violent, sweeping towards Su Han and the others.

Su Han and Bi Yao desperately dodged; they knew this was a race against death, and they had to find the Monster's weakness under its attacks, or they would perish here.

While dodging the Monster's attacks, Su Han noticed some black patterns on the Monster's body, which seemed to be related to its vitality.

His heart stirred, and he shouted to the Grave Keeper and Bi Yao:

"I've found its weakness: it's those black patterns on its body."

The Grave Keeper and Bi Yao felt a surge of joy upon hearing Su Han's words.

They began to adjust their attack direction, concentrating their fire on the black patterns on the Monster's body.

The Monster felt threatened; it struggled wildly, trying to evade their attacks.

But Su Han and their attacks grew more ferocious, and the black patterns gradually disappeared under their assault.

The Monster let out a mournful roar, and its body began to tremble violently.

Su Han saw that the time was ripe; he concentrated all his strength and unleashed his strongest Cold Jade Art, a massive ice pillar shooting towards the Monster. (End of chapter)
