The Vanishing Train (Part 2)
As the heavy, chilling footsteps approached, Lin Yu, Ye Li, and Zhao Yang's nerves strained like strings stretched to the limit, ready to snap at any moment. In the dim, deep tunnel, within the darkness of the train's engine, a massive figure slowly emerged. Shrouded in a faint, azure mist, its outline flickering in and out of the mist, it exuded an indescribable aura of mystery and terror, like a demon crawling from the depths of hell.
"What...what on earth is this?" Zhao Yang whispered, his voice trembling like a leaf in the autumn wind. His hands, gripping his weapon tightly, were drenched in sweat, and the fear within him surged like a surging tide, nearly drowning him completely. But years of adventure had left him with a lingering stubbornness and determination. He knew he couldn't retreat now, or else an unknown abyss awaited them.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart, and tried to sound composed. "Whatever it is, we must remain calm and search for its weaknesses. Everyone, cooperate!" Lin Yu's eyes were fixed firmly on the gradually clearing figure, his brain racing with extreme tension, desperately trying to think of a response. He knew that facing such a powerful and unknown enemy, the slightest mistake would lead to their demise. He had to remain calm, calm, and calm again.
Ye Li nervously stared at the detection device in her hand, which was flashing strange data, as she spoke, "This energy fluctuation is extremely powerful and bizarre. I've never seen anything like it. But judging by the feedback from the device, it seems closely connected to the mysterious patterns on the train I detected earlier. Perhaps these patterns are the key to controlling or sealing it." Although Ye Li tried to keep her voice steady, the slight tremor in her voice betrayed her inner nervousness. She tried to find a way to deal with the crisis from her familiar mystical knowledge system, hoping to find a glimmer of hope in this critical moment.
As the figure drew closer, they finally got a clear look at its form. It was a massive monster, vaguely humanoid, but with limbs as thick as pillars and a disproportionately large head. Its skin was a strange, dark blue, shimmering with an icy sheen, as if covered in a layer of incredibly tough scales. Each scale resembled a piece of meticulously crafted armor, emitting a chilling, chilling light. Its eyes burned like two balls of dark blue flame, seemingly imbued with endless pain and rage, emitting a captivating light that, even a single glance at it, seemed to draw the soul away. Its massive mouth opened, revealing sharp, yellowed fangs, each as large as a dagger. A sickening, rancid stench emanated from its mouth. Then, it let out a deafening roar, and the sound echoed wildly in the tunnel like rolling thunder, making their eardrums hurt. Even the walls of the tunnel trembled, as if they could collapse at any time.
"Attack!" Lin Yu shouted, mustering his courage and charging at the monster. He channeled all his strength into his arms, brandishing his weapon with a desperate determination to strike at the monster's legs. However, the moment the weapon made contact with the monster's skin, there was a sharp metallic clang, as if striking indestructible steel. The weapon merely sparked a series of sparks on the monster's skin, failing to cause any substantial damage.
"This monster's skin is too tough! Ordinary attacks are useless against it!" Lin Yu shouted, feeling a surge of despair. However, his years of perseverance allowed him to quickly adjust his stance. He leaped back, putting distance between himself and the monster, his gaze fixed on it, searching for the next opportunity to strike.
Not to be outdone, Zhao Yang charged at the monster from the side like a cheetah, concentrating all his strength on his weapon and thrusting fiercely at the monster's waist. His eyes were filled with determination, hoping to inflict damage with this strike. But once again, the weapon only left a shallow mark on the monster's skin before being deflected by a powerful recoil. The force also caused Zhao Yang to stagger, nearly falling.
"What should I do? This monster is invulnerable!" Zhao Yang shouted anxiously, his forehead covered with dense beads of sweat, which continued to slide down his cheeks, and his eyes revealed a hint of panic. He felt as if he was trapped in a hopeless situation, facing such a powerful enemy, but he was helpless.
At that moment, Ye Li suddenly shouted, "Lin Yu, Zhao Yang, attack the areas on its body where the blue light is strongest! Those areas may be the focus of its power and also its weakness!" Ye Li had been closely watching the detection equipment. Through the energy fluctuations displayed on the equipment, she keenly discovered the abnormal energy distribution on the monster. She hoped that this discovery would become the key to defeating the monster.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu and Zhao Yang immediately understood what was going on. They quickly adjusted their tactics and mustered their courage once again as they charged towards the monster. Their eyes widened as they carefully observed the glow on the monster's body, searching for the brightest spot within the faint blue light. Finally, they discovered a blue diamond-shaped mark on the monster's chest. The mark shone exceptionally brightly, like a brilliant blue star embedded in the monster's chest, its light radiating a mysterious and powerful force.
"Right there! Attack together!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice filled with desperate determination. The two men simultaneously exerted their strength, raising their weapons high and thrusting with all their might at the diamond-shaped mark on the monster's chest. This time, the moment the weapons made contact with the diamond mark, they penetrated the monster smoothly. A thick, dark blue liquid gushed out from the wound, splashing onto the surrounding ground with a sizzling sound, as if it had a highly corrosive nature. The monster roared in pain, its voice filled with anger and unwillingness. Its body began to tremble violently, and the surrounding air also vibrated violently.
