Sweat soaked the clothes and pressed them tightly against the body, causing a wave of sticky and uncomfortable feeling.
Despair surged into their hearts like a tide. They felt like a small boat in the sea, and could be swallowed by huge waves at any time.
A phantom warrior waved his long sword and stabbed Grandma Lin.
Seeing this, Luo Xiaoyu rushed forward without thinking and blocked the attack with his body.
"Puff--" A mouthful of blood gushed out, and Luo Xiaoyu's body fell down softly.
"Xiaoyu!" Everyone exclaimed and hurriedly surrounded him.
Grandma Lin trembled her hands and stroked Luo Xiaoyu's cheeks, tears flowing.
"Child, why are you doing this..."
Xiaohong looked at Luo Xiaoyu who was lying in a pool of blood, and tears rolled in her eyes.
Her lips were trembling slightly, but she could not make any noise.
She wanted to rush up and hug Luo Xiaoyu, but she knew that she could do nothing now.
Just when everyone thought they could only continue fighting to die, resisting desperately, sweating profusely, the sound of weapons colliding and the roar of warriors resounded throughout the space, Elder Chen suddenly exclaimed: "Wait! I seem to have discovered something!"
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes were filled with surprise and hope, and they all turned to Elder Chen.
He pointed at a phantom warrior and said excitedly: "Look, their actions... seem to be repeating some kind of ritual!"
"Rite?" Everyone was puzzled.
Elder Chen pointed to the Phantom Warrior's movements and said word by word: "If we do as they do..." He paused and stared at everyone with a bright look, "Maybe, we can stop this battle!"
Everyone looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts and expectations.
"Then... let's try?" Zhang Langzhong asked tentatively.
Everyone was imitating the movements of the Phantom Warrior with uneasiness and hope.
Sometimes they raised their arms and sometimes bent down and bent their knees. Although their movements were a little unfamiliar, they also exuded a firm force.
With the final action completed, a miracle happened!
The Phantom Warriors stopped attacking as if they were imposed on a fixed-body technique. The black mist emitted from their bodies gradually dissipated and eventually turned into soft lights and poured into everyone's bodies.
A warm current rushes in the body, as if a long drought is coming, nourishing their limbs and bones.
Xiaohong felt that her body became extremely light, as if she could fly.
Luo Xiaoyu's pale face also recovered a little rosy. She was surprised to find that the injuries on her chest were slowly healing.
Liewoo waved his arm and felt his strength doubled, as if he could smash the huge rock with his bare hands.
The feelings of others were similar, and they exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with joy of surviving the disaster.
"Success! We really succeeded!" Luo Xiaoyu jumped up excitedly, and her heavy breathing also became lighter.
"This feels great! I feel full of strength!" She couldn't help but wave her fists and feel the changes in her body.
Xiaohong also hugged Grandma Lin excitedly, her eyes wet, and she choked and said, "Mother-in-law, we are fine, we are really fine!" Grandma Lin patted her back and showed a gratified smile on her face.
The surrounding space also seemed to feel the joy of everyone, and the floating light spots became brighter, reflecting the entire space like daylight.
Zhang Langzhong clenched his fists tightly, feeling the surging force in his body. His original fatigue was wiped out, replaced by an indescribable excitement.
Blacksmith Zhao couldn't help but let out a loud shout, venting the excitement in his heart, and letting out a deafening roar like a lion.
The man in white carefully picked up the injured Luo Xiaoyu, with a hint of tenderness and concern in his eyes.
Xiaohong hurriedly stepped forward to help and wiped the blood on Luo Xiaoyu's face with clean fabric.
Her
At this moment, this strange space is filled with the joy of surviving the disaster and the warm atmosphere of mutual help and friendship, sweeping away the tension of the previous battle.
Everyone's faces were filled with bright smiles, and they celebrated each other and their relationship became closer.
Suddenly, the mysterious old man slowly walked out of the void. His eyes were deep, and there was a mysterious smile on his lips, and he whispered: "Children, you are very good... But the real test has just begun."
Everyone walked through the heavy light curtains and came to the center of the rune array.
A huge energy crystal was suspended in the air, emitting a soft light, like a huge night pearl, illuminating the entire space.
Mysterious runes flowed on the surface of the crystal, as if they contained endless energy. The powerful fluctuations of power spread like ripples, making everyone feel palpitations.
"What is this?" Luo Xiaoyu widened her eyes and exclaimed.
"What a powerful energy..." Zhang Langzhong murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Xiaohong held the hand of the man in white tightly, feeling the warmth coming from the palm of his hand, and was both excited and nervous.
She could feel that this crystal contained a huge power, which might change their destiny.
Everyone approached the crystal carefully, for fear of disturbing the mysterious power.
As the distance gets closer, they can feel the energy fluctuations of the crystal more clearly, as if the heart is beating, powerful and powerful.
"This power... seems to change our destiny..." Elder Chen said in a deep voice, with a light of wisdom flashing in his eyes.
Everyone held their breath, reached out their hands, and gently touched the surface of the crystal.
A powerful energy instantly poured into their bodies, like an electric current flowing throughout their bodies.
They felt an unprecedented force surged in their bodies, as if they had infinite possibilities.
However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of this power, a sudden change arises.
Some strange reactions suddenly appeared on their bodies, and strange runes appeared on their skin, flashing red light, as if something was resisting this power.
"Ah!" Luo Xiaoyu screamed, quickly retracted her hand, and looked at the runes on her arm in horror.
Others also discovered the abnormality on their bodies, and a terrified expression appeared on their faces.
They didn't know what the consequences of this reaction would have, but the feeling of danger was getting stronger and stronger, as if something terrible was about to happen.
"What's going on?" Xiaohong asked in a trembling voice.
"I...I don't know..." The man in white looked solemn,
Everyone looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts and fear.
They don't know what will happen next, but they know that they are about to face new challenges...
"My body...can't control it anymore..." Zhao Blacksmith gritted his teeth, and his body trembled more and more violently.
"This power... is so terrible..." Doctor Zhang's face was pale and sweated like rain.
The formation came.
Luo Xiaoyu looked at the expanding runes on her arm in horror, and whispered tremblingly: "What the hell is this..." The others were not much better, and looked at each other in panic, with fear in their eyes.
The surrounding energy crystal light flashed, flickering, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression, as if indicating that greater danger was coming.
"Everyone, try to suppress it with your own strength!" Elder Chen shouted at the top of his lungs.
Everyone quickly concentrated their minds and qi, trying to mobilize the strength in their bodies, but this energy disappeared without a trace like a mud bull entering the sea.
The panic spread rapidly like a plague, and everyone's face was filled with despair.
Suddenly, the energy fluctuations of the crystal intensified, and a powerful backlash burst out. Everyone was shocked and screamed one after another.
Doctor Zhang couldn't dodge and was affected by energy. He hit the stone wall and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
At the critical moment, the man in white flashed out, formed seals with his hands, and a powerful magic power surged out instantly, forming a barrier that blocked the impact of energy.
The space around was flickering due to the fluctuations of magic. Grandma Lin looked at the man in white anxiously, her lips trembling, but she could not make any sound.
The man in white looked solemn, beads of sweat as big as beans slid off his forehead, and the magic barrier was shaking under the impact of powerful energy.
"If you keep going like this... you can't hold on..." He gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.
The burning sensation of the scarlet rune became stronger and stronger, like tens of millions of steel needles piercing into the bone marrow, making everyone faint.
The energy impact wave after wave, as if torn their bodies apart, all the internal organs moved, making overwhelmed moans.
Despair swallowed them like an abyss, everyone's face was filled with helplessness and fear, their bodies trembled involuntarily, sweat soaked in their clothes, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and a breath of despair.
"Ah--!" Luo Xiaoyu could no longer hold on, and let out a scream, rolled her eyes and fell heavily to the ground.
The runes on her arm seemed to be coming alive at this moment, and the scarlet light kept beating, like flames burning on her skin.
Everyone exclaimed, quickly surrounded her, calling her name anxiously, but without any response.
The atmosphere was extremely depressed, as if an invisible hand strangled everyone's throats, and even breathing became difficult.
Xiaohong looked at Luo Xiaoyu who was unconscious and could no longer help but burst into tears. She was spinning in her eyes, and crystal tears fell down her cheeks.
She bit her lips tightly, trying her best to control her emotions and prevent herself from falling down. Her inner pain and anxiety surged like a tide, about to overwhelm her.
At this moment, Elder Chen suddenly seemed to think of something, and he shouted excitedly: "No! This is not like a backlash, this is the energy crystal testing us! As long as we are determined, we can overcome it!" Although his voice was a little trembling, it was full of power, like a lightning bolt in the darkness, illuminating everyone's confusion.
When everyone heard this, they felt like they were enlightened and instantly awakened.
Only then did they realize that this was not a simple backlash of energy, but a test of their will by the energy crystal.
They were overwhelmed by fear before.
Now they must cheer up and fight this energy with firm will!
"Yes, that's right!" Zhang Langzhong was the first to react, and a fire of hope rekindled in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, felt the surging power in his body, and tried to control those restless runes.
Immediately afterwards, Li Liehuo, Zhao Blacksmith, and Grandma Lin...
They all adjusted their mentality, tried to calm down their inner fear, and began to strengthen their will.
Their faces were filled with confidence and their bodies were gradually adapting to the impact of energy.
The surrounding space seems to gradually become brighter due to their changes.
The man in white held Xiaohong's hand tightly, and the temperature in his palm conveyed firmness and strength.
Xiaohong raised her eyes, her eyes as gentle as water, staring at the deep eyes of the man in white, which reflected her figure, full of endless love and protection.
She felt a warm current flowing all over her body, fear receding like a tide, replaced by a lot of trust and dependence.
This is the power of love, which gives her infinite courage in times of crisis.
Liehun's honest face was full of worry. He carefully helped up the unconscious Luo Xiaoyu and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with his rough fingertips.
He treated his own sister, he gently hugged Luo Xiaoyu in his arms, let her lean against his warm chest, and comforted in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The ruins of despair and fear were originally filled with the warmth of mutual help and friendship.
Everyone is no longer fighting each other, but is united closely, supporting each other, and facing the current difficulties together.
Their eyes were full of hope, and their bodies gradually adapted to the impact of this energy as their will became firm.
However, just when everyone thought that as long as they were determined, they could absorb energy smoothly, a sudden change arises.
The energy crystal suddenly emitted a violent vibration, and the light became even more dazzling, releasing dazzling light like a small sun.
Immediately afterwards, several gaps cracked on the surface of the crystal, and a few small crystals separated from the parent body, flew towards everyone with dazzling light.
This sudden change was unexpected to everyone. They looked at the little crystal flying towards them in surprise, their faces filled with shock and confusion.
I originally thought that as long as I persisted, I could overcome the difficulties, but now new changes have occurred. Is this a test or a crisis?
Everyone's eyes followed the small crystals, their hearts filled with doubts and a hint of curiosity.
They subconsciously reached out their hands and carefully caught the small crystals that emitted soft light.
The small crystal is as gentle as jade, but with a strange energy fluctuation.
The man in white was the first to feel the slight vibration from the crystal in his hand. He frowned and was about to speak, but he heard a puzzled whisper coming from beside him:
"This is……"
The moment the little crystal started, a warm current spread throughout the body along the palm of his hand. The originally restless scarlet rune seemed to have found a home, blending into the body gently, perfectly matching its own strength.
Everyone was surprised to find that the energy that was originally difficult to control was now like an arm instructing it, and its power had a qualitative leap compared to before.
Excitement and tension intertwined, they felt unprecedentedly powerful, but they felt a little uneasy about this sudden power.
Zhang Langzhong took the lead in trying it. He injected his true energy into the small crystal in his hand. The crystal shone brightly, and a pure energy feeds back into his body to repair his previously damaged meridians.
He was surprised to find that not only did the injury healed, but his true energy was more pure and thick, as if he was ten years younger.
Others also tried one after another. Li Liehun felt a powerful force pouring into his body. He waved the hunting knife in his hand, and the blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, which increased its power several times more than before.
Blacksmith Zhao felt as if he had infinite power. He waved the hammer and easily smashed a huge piece of iron into thin pieces. Mars flew everywhere, making a deafening sound.
Grandma Lin felt a warm energy wrapping her, and her originally hunched body straightened a little. She felt like she was full of vitality, as if she was back in her youth.
Xiaohong and the man in white looked at each other, and their eyes were full of surprises and expectations.
At the same time, they injected true energy into the small crystals in their hands. The two crystals emitted dazzling light, and a powerful energy surrounded the two of them, forming an energy vortex.
They felt a powerful force that tied the two together, as if they were in the same mind and their strength was increased exponentially.
As the strength of the crowd increased, the runes in the rune array also began to change.
The originally dim runes gradually lit up, emitting dazzling light, resonating with each other. The entire rune array seemed to come alive, making a buzzing sound.
The light became stronger and stronger, almost blinding everyone's eyes, and the vibration became more and more violent. The ground began to tremble. Everyone felt dizzy and a strong sense of anxiety arose in their hearts.
They didn't know what the consequences of this resonance would have, but the sense of danger became stronger and stronger, as if something terrible was about to happen.
"This...what is going on?" Luo Xiaoyu woke up slowly, looking at the dazzling light and violent vibration in front of her, and asked in horror.
Elder Chen's face was solemn, his eyes were fixed on the changes in the rune array, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing..."
A strong light burst out, the rune array was blazing, and everyone's eyes were blurred and they could not see anything clearly.
The buzzing sound in my ears was deafening, as if hundreds of giant hammers were hitting their heads.
A powerful force tightly bound them, and their bodies could not move, like insects imprisoned in amber.
Fear surged like a tide, Luo Xiaoyu grabbed Xiaohong's hand tightly, her fingertips were cold and she trembled continuously.
The runes around flickered even more violently, flickering like breathing, and each flash was accompanied by a strong energy fluctuation.
A strange energy filled the air, stimulating everyone's skin and causing waves of stinging pain.
The dangerous aura became stronger and stronger, and everyone was almost breathless.
An ominous premonition looms over everyone's heart, as if something terrible is about to happen.
Suddenly, puppets shining with rune light emerged from the rune array.
They have different shapes, some look like humans, some look like wild animals, but without exception they all exud a cold murderous aura.
These rune puppets waved weapons made of runes, making sharp whistling sounds, and launched fierce attacks on everyone.
Being caught off guard, everyone was caught.
Although Zhao Blacksmith was strong, he was unable to withstand the sharp attacks of the puppet. He was accidentally hit in the chest, let out a muffled groan, and staggered back a few steps.
Chapter completed!
