The Ancient Yunnan Cave Magic Battle (Part 2)
Under the skillful guidance of Lin Yu and the others, the monster, like a mad beast, roared and chased them recklessly, stepping step by step into the area with the densest symbols on the cave wall. Every step it took made the cave tremble, and small pieces of stone fell from the cave ceiling, as if even the cave feared the monster's wrath.
As the monster fully entered the densely packed area of symbols, its movements instantly slowed. Its once lightning-fast movements now seemed mired in a thick quagmire. Its body felt as if bound by countless invisible hands, making every struggle seem arduous. Beneath its iron-hard black scales, its muscles bulged with effort, yet it could not escape the grip of this mysterious force.
Seeing this, Lin Yu felt a flicker of hope and shouted, "Now is the time! Everyone, concentrate your attack!" His voice echoed through the cave, resolute and resolute, like a horn in the darkness, inspiring his teammates' fighting spirit. Without hesitation, Ouyang Zhenghao and Shen Yao quickly attacked the monster from different directions.
Ouyang Zhenghao seized the moment the monster slowed down and leaped high, using the cave wall for support. With all his might, he thrust his weapon into the monster's neck. The weapon pierced the darkness with a crackling sound and a flash of cold light, like a flash of lightning. The monster, as if sensing mortal danger, twisted its body to avoid the blow, but was hampered by the symbol, slowing its movements. The weapon grazed the monster's scales. While it didn't penetrate the neck as intended, it left a deep gash. Thick green blood gushed out like a fountain, emitting a sickening stench and splashing onto the cave floor with a sizzling sound, as if it were highly corrosive.
Chen Yao took this opportunity to observe the symbols around her with rapt attention. She discovered that while seemingly chaotic, these symbols concealed a profound pattern, as if forming an ancient and mysterious formation. She knew this might be the key to completely subduing the monster. Dodging the drafts of air kicked up by the monster's occasional struggles, Chen Yao quickly drew symbols on the ground, similar to those on the stone wall, attempting to strengthen the force that bound the monster. Her eyes were filled with concentration and intensity, her forehead beaded with beads of sweat, and every stroke was poured with her utmost energy, as if racing against time and the monster's struggle.
Between attacks, Lin Yu's mind raced, calculating how to deliver a fatal blow to the monster. He watched the monster grow increasingly violent due to its injuries and restraints, and thought to himself, "This monster is so powerful that relying solely on the restraining symbols and our current attack methods will make it difficult to completely subdue it. There must be some crucial clue we haven't discovered, perhaps deep within this cave, or perhaps a deeper connection to the wizard's battle from that year. But what exactly is it? Time is running out. We can't continue attacking blindly like this. We must find a breakthrough as soon as possible."
At that moment, the monster let out an earth-shattering roar, threatening to collapse the entire cave. It seemed to muster all its strength, trying to break free from the symbol's constraints. Its initially slow movements suddenly became frantic. It spun abruptly, its massive claws, swirling with a powerful gust of air, swept towards Ouyang Zhenghao. Unable to dodge, Ouyang Zhenghao was struck in the shoulder by the claws, sending him flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the cave wall with a dull thud.
"Ouyang!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice filled with anxiety. He quickly ran towards Ouyang Zhenghao, keeping a vigilant eye on the monster's next move, fearing another attack. Chen Yao also stopped drawing the symbols and looked at Ouyang Zhenghao with a worried look, her eyes filled with anxiety and concern.
Ouyang Zhenghao struggled to his feet, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth and slowly dripping down his chin. But his eyes were firm, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine, Lin Yu. This monster is too tenacious. We must find a way to completely destroy it as soon as possible. If we continue like this, our physical strength will be exhausted, and sooner or later it will defeat us." Ouyang Zhenghao knew the severity of the situation. They didn't have much time to waste, and they had to come up with a solution as soon as possible.
Lin Yu nodded, his gaze returning to the monster. At this moment, the black scales on the monster began to flicker with an eerie light, like balls of dancing flames, illuminating the cave with an even more eerie and terrifying hue. A circle of black mist appeared around its body, and within it, faintly distorted human faces emerged, emitting shrill cries, as if the souls trapped within were struggling in agony. This scene sent a chill down everyone's spine, and an unprecedented sense of crisis washed over them.
"This monster seems to be casting some more powerful spell. We can't let it succeed!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice tinged with urgency. He quickly looked around, trying to find a way out of this critical situation. Suddenly, he spotted a massive stalactite at the top of the cave, seemingly teetering on the brink of collapse. The stalactite's surface, illuminated by the monster's light, shimmered with a strange luster, as if hinting at the key to reversing the situation.
Lin Yu suddenly had an idea and called out to Chen Yao, "Chen Yao, keep drawing the symbols and try to restrain the monster. Ouyang and I will try to get that stalactite down. Maybe we can deal a fatal blow to the monster! This might be our only chance, so we must seize it!" Chen Yao nodded in understanding and immediately sped up her drawing. The symbols gradually took shape under her pen, emitting a faint glow that echoed with the symbols on the stone wall, temporarily stabilizing the monster's movements and making it difficult for it to break free.
