Finally, amidst the swirling yellow sand, the looming outline of the seven-story demon tower gradually came into view. Towering into the clouds, it resembled a sharp sword piercing the heavens. Constructed of a mysterious black stone, it exuded a cold, sinister aura beneath the gloomy sky. From the eaves of each floor hung tattered copper bells, which tinkled and jingled in the fierce wind. The sound echoed through the silent and eerie desert, like a call from another world, or the painful wails of countless wronged souls, sending chills down one's spine.
Lin Yu and the others slowly exited the car and stood before the demon tower. A powerful, malevolent aura surged like a surging tide, instantly overwhelming them. The air, mingled with the stench of decay, blood, and a sinister odor, sent shivers down their spines. Lin Yu quickly pulled out his sensor. The needle on the instrument spun like a frantic dancer, emitting a sharp, rapid "beep," indicating that the intensity of the demonic aura surrounding them had far exceeded their imagination.
Lin Yu's expression was stern, and he spoke in a heavy tone, "The seal of this demon tower has indeed loosened to an extremely dangerous degree. With such a strong demon spirit aura, a powerful demon spirit could escape at any time. We must race against time and find a way to strengthen the seal as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Ouyang Zhenghao gripped the rune-emblazoned gun tightly, his knuckles turning white from the strain. He glanced around warily, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and caution. "Such a strong demonic aura! Perhaps those demons are hiding in the shadows, gazing intently at us. Everyone, be careful. Don't let them catch you off guard."
At that moment, a bone-chilling wind howled past, as if blasted from the depths of hell. Its teeth-rattling chill formed a stark and terrifying contrast with the desert heat. The wind seemed to carry faint cries and mournful screams, as if countless souls trapped in the darkness were struggling and wailing in agony. The team members' nerves instantly tensed like taut bowstrings, their hands unconsciously tightening their grip on their weapons, and every heartbeat suddenly accelerated, threatening to burst through their chests.
"What...what is this sound? It gives me goosebumps all over my body. It feels like countless pairs of eyes are staring at us in the dark." A team member said in a trembling voice, fear spreading rapidly in his heart like a vine.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "Don't panic, everyone. This is most likely the work of those restless demons around the Demon Tower. Maintain a tight defensive formation, always pay attention to the movements around you, and don't lose your composure." Although he tried to remain calm on the surface, he was also deeply worried about the upcoming unknown dangers.
Suddenly, the needle on the sensor, as if pulled by a mysterious force, pointed violently in a certain direction. Lin Yu looked in the direction of the needle and saw a vague figure looming in the wind and sand on a nearby sand dune. The figure was elusive and ghostly, and its precise form was unclear, but one could clearly feel a chilling aura approaching, like the gaze of death.
"Everyone look over there, something's happening!" Lin Yu shouted loudly, and at the same time signaled the team members to quickly prepare for battle.
Everyone's attention was instantly focused on that figure, a tense atmosphere enveloping them like an invisible net. As the figure gradually became clearer amidst the rustling sand, they were surprised to discover it was a woman in a white robe. Her face was as pale as snow, devoid of color, and her eyes were hollow, like two deep black holes, devoid of any sign of life. Her long hair danced wildly in the gusts of wind, like a swarm of black snakes, emitting an eerie aura. Her steps were light and weightless, as she slowly approached the crowd like a ghost.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lin Yu asked loudly, signaling his team members to remain alert, weapons in hand, ready to attack at any time. However, his heart was filled with doubts. Was this mysterious woman human or a demon? What did her appearance mean?
The woman didn't answer, still walking with her light, graceful steps, slowly approaching. When she was only a dozen meters away from the group, she suddenly stopped. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a strange, cold smile that seemed to freeze the soul. Then, a horrifying scene unfolded: her body gradually became transparent, and countless black insects emerged from her body. These insects, densely packed, crawled towards the group like a black tide, staining the sand black wherever they passed.
"Oh no! It's a demon! Everyone, be careful!" Lin Yu shouted, raising his rune gun first and firing without hesitation at the insects. The rune gun blasted out dazzling beams of light, like sharp swords of justice. Upon striking the insects, they instantly turned to ash with a sizzling sound. The team members also reacted, raising their rune guns and firing at the insect swarm. For a moment, flashes of light and gunshots echoed across the desert, intertwining with the howling wind, like a terrifying melody.
However, the insects were incredibly numerous, seemingly endless, pouring out of the woman's body. They quickly covered the ground and surged toward the group's feet. The team members fired their weapons while being forced to slowly retreat, trying to avoid the insects' frenzied attack. But the insects were incredibly fast, like a black torrent, quickly closing in on them.
