The passage was filled with a thick darkness, making it almost impossible to see the way forward. Mo Xi and Mu Li leaned on each other, cautiously groping their way forward.
Suddenly, countless black tentacles shot out from the darkness and attacked them. Mo Xi reacted quickly, swinging his sword and severing several tentacles. Mu Li cast a spell, forming a protective barrier around them.
"What on earth is this?" Mu Li frowned.
"No matter what it is, don't try to stop us." Mo Xi's eyes were firm.
They struggled forward while resisting the attacks of the tentacles. At this moment, a huge figure appeared in front of them, emitting a terrifying pressure.
"Could this be the controller of the dark power?" Mu Li's heart tightened.
The figure gradually became clearer, and it turned out to be a huge, hideous monster. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a stream of black flames.
Mo Xi and Mu Li dodged quickly, the flames brushed past them, burning the air around them.
"It's very strong! We can't just sit there and wait for death. We need to find a way to attack its weakness together." Mo Xi shouted.
Mu Li nodded, and the two simultaneously unleashed their strongest attack spells. Light and darkness collided, and the entire passageway trembled.
In the fierce battle, the monster gradually showed signs of fatigue. Mo Xi seized the opportunity and stabbed the monster's eye with his sword. The monster roared in pain and fell to the ground.
"It's finally solved." Mu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before they could recover, the dark aura around them surged again, forming a huge vortex that sucked them in.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a mysterious cave. Strange lights flickered on the walls of the cave, as if telling ancient secrets.
"Where is this?" Mo Xi looked around vigilantly.
"I don't know, but I feel there is a deeper secret hidden here." Mu Li said.
At this moment, a deep voice came from the cave: "Welcome to my dark realm, you will never get out again."
Mo Xi and Mu Li looked at each other, their hearts filled with determination. No matter what difficulties they faced, they would not give up and must uncover the truth behind this darkness.
Mo Xi snorted coldly: "If you are playing tricks, show yourself if you have the guts!"
The voice did not respond, and the cave fell into a dead silence. Mo Xi and Mu Li walked forward cautiously. Suddenly, a black lightning struck from the top of the cave, rushing straight towards Mu Li.
Mo Xi was quick to pull Mu Li behind him and took the blow himself. He groaned, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"Prince brother!" Mu Li exclaimed.
Mo Xi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm fine, be careful."
At this time, horrifying scenes began to appear around the cave, all of which were scenes of human suffering.
"This is to disturb our minds." Mu Li said.
"Don't be affected by this, we must find a way out." Mo Xi held Mu Li's hand tightly.
As they continued forward, the ground beneath their feet suddenly became soft, as if it was about to swallow them up. Mo Xi and Mu Li cast a spell and flew into the air.
At this moment, countless dark evil spirits rushed in from all directions, pouncing on them with bared fangs and claws.
Mu Li formed seals with her hands and muttered something. A purifying light shot out from her hands. The vengeful spirits were enveloped by the light and screamed in pain.
But the number of vengeful spirits is huge and endless.
"Host, use your magic weapon! That golden lotus!" The system, which had not appeared for a long time, suddenly spoke to remind.
"System, are you still there? I couldn't summon you for a long time, and I thought you had left me!" Mu Li was very happy that her old friend had returned.
"I'll tell you about this later. Hurry up and summon the golden lotus!" The system looked at the vast crowd of vengeful spirits and got goose bumps all over its body.
Mu Li summoned the Golden Lotus of Merit, and as it emerged, it shone with golden light. The dark, resentful spirits vanished instantly upon encountering the golden light, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.
"This golden lotus is really powerful." Mo Xi praised.
As the vengeful spirits dispersed, the scene in the cave changed. Strange runes appeared on the walls that had previously shimmered with an eerie light.
"These runes look like some kind of formation." Mu Li leaned in to take a closer look.
At this moment, the deep voice from before sounded again: "Do you think you can break my tricks so easily? This is just the beginning."
As soon as the words fell, the runes suddenly broke away from the wall and flew towards them, forming a huge net in the air.
Mo Xi swung his sword, but sparks flew where the sword touched the runes, and he couldn't break through. Mu Li controlled the golden lotus to approach, and the golden lotus released a gentle power to fight against the rune network.
Slowly, cracks began to appear in the rune web and eventually it shattered.
"You have some skills, but my real body is right in front of you. Don't even think about succeeding." The voice was filled with anger.
Mo Xi and Mu Li smiled at each other and strode towards the source of the sound without fear, determined to break the darkness and solve all the mysteries.
As they walked deeper and deeper into the passage, the dark aura around them grew thicker. Suddenly, a powerful suction came from the front, and the two lost their balance and were sucked forward. Once they regained their balance, they saw a pool of water emitting a dark aura. In the center, a mysterious black lotus sat on a pedestal. The oppressive feeling emanated from this place.
"Is this your true form?" Mo Xi asked in surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, the petals of the black lotus transformed into sharp blades and flew towards them. Mo Xi and Mu Li dodged flexibly and seized the opportunity to counterattack.
