Chapter 280
In a hurry, Yu Tong released powerful fire power to try to disperse the thick fog.
The flames met the mist, making a sizzling sound and actually emitting more strange gases.
Gu Shihan hurriedly cast a protective spell to protect everyone and prevent the fog from entering their bodies.
Suddenly, low roars were heard all around, as if countless ferocious beasts were lurking in the thick fog.
Gu Shihan narrowed his eyes slightly, and pairs of dark green eyes were looming in the thick fog.
Xingbai looked around vigilantly, and Yutong also clenched his fists.
Gu Shihan calmly took out a few talismans from his storage ring and gave them to the two of them. "This is an isolation talisman, maybe it will be useful."
At this moment, a huge claw emerged from the fog and grabbed Yutong.
Yu Tong dodged sideways and fired back a stream of fire. The beast felt pain and roared back into the mist.
But soon, more attacks came from all directions.
The three of them stood back to back, nervously responding to this sudden attack. If they wanted to complete the mission, they had to get out of the fog alive.
With flames protecting their bodies, the three of them moved forward carefully. The further they walked, the more they felt something was wrong. "Xingbai, do you feel anything is wrong? I feel like there is something guiding us forward."
"Yeah, I feel it too. Now we can only move forward. It seems that retreating is not possible!" Xingbai said.
"Really? Let me try!" Yu Tong turned around and walked back the way she came. Before she took three steps, she was stopped by an invisible thing and muttered, "I really can't go back!
Gu Shihan frowned and said softly, "It seems that we can only bite the bullet and move forward."
The three of them looked at each other and saw a hint of determination in each other's eyes.
From dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, every time at dawn, a monster of different colors will appear, and each time a battle will be required.
At first, Xingbai and Yutong took the stage, and later, Gu Shihan took the stage himself.
Gu Shihan couldn't remember how many battles they had fought, nor how many days and nights they had experienced. Now they seemed to have cut off contact with the outside world, and even Mo Yu and the others could not be contacted.
After walking for a while, the front suddenly opened up and an ancient palace appeared in front of us. The palace exuded a faint light and exuded a mysterious atmosphere.
Just as they were hesitating whether to enter, an ethereal voice came: "Welcome to the Crystal Palace. If you want to get the Crystal, you need to solve three puzzles."
Gu Shihan took a deep breath and was the first to step into the palace. The palace was full of flashing runes.
The first puzzle was to find the pattern of the runes. With his intelligence, Xing Bai quickly discovered something and solved the first puzzle successfully.
The second puzzle was to control the spiritual power to run along a specific trajectory. Yu Tong stepped forward and successfully solved it after some effort.
For the third question, three people are required to work together to open a formation.
Gu Shihan's level of formation skills is pretty good. With the inheritance of the ancient formation skills, he can still send the formation through. It just takes a long time to break the formation. This formation is really a compound formation.
The waves are overlapping and linked together. If the order and steps are wrong, it will not work. Every failure requires starting from the beginning.
It took Gu Shihan ten days and ten nights to break the formation and walk into the hall.
There was a high platform in the center of the hall, on which was placed a transparent jade box. Inside the jade box were ten phantom crystals emitting colorful light.
"Hanhan, Huanjing, that's Huanjing!"
Yutong muttered, "Is that the phantom crystal we are looking for?"
"It should be!" Gu Shihan walked towards the platform. Just as they approached the platform, many phantoms suddenly appeared around them.
These phantoms all looked like the monsters that had been defeated by them before, and they all looked at them with a covetous look.
Gu Shihan realized that this was the final test. If he could not defeat these phantoms formed by resentment, it would be difficult to obtain the phantom crystal.
She calmed her mind and cooperated with Xingbai and Yutong. Xingbai used his agility to attract the attention of the phantoms, while Yutong released flames to disperse the phantoms one after another.
“Hanhan, use the purification beads! These phantoms are probably caused by resentment and negative energy. Purification is the best way to eliminate them…”
Gu Shihan nodded and took the purification bead. A faint light spread out and the illusion gradually dissipated.
When Gu Shihan reached out to take the phantom crystal, a secret door suddenly opened and an old man walked out.
The old man said calmly: "Congratulations on passing the test. This phantom crystal is yours."
But this crystal has intelligence and can only be taken by a pure person, otherwise it will disappear. Only this young friend among you can take it away."
Gu Nansheng bowed and said, "Senior, is this phantom crystal related to the Phantom Spirit Clan? How can we find the Phantom Spirit Clan?"
The old man looked at Gu Nansheng deeply and said slowly: "The Phantom Crystal is indeed closely related to the Phantom Clan. The Phantom Clan lives in the deepest part of the Misty Forest, where there is a secret space. However, the road leading there is full of various traps and is guarded by the Phantom Clan's guardian beasts."
"The deepest part of the misty forest?" Yu Tong asked.
The old man looked at Gu Shihan, nodded slightly, and said, "I have been guarding here for who knows how many years, and no human has ever been able to reach here. Human, you have a deep source of blessings, and possess the light and dark spiritual roots that only the phantom clan has.
Ten thousand years ago, the Phantom Clan encountered a devastating disaster. They were trapped in the misty forest and could neither leave nor reproduce. They were probably not far from extinction.
Fairy Qingchen once promised to let the Huanling clan move to her Yuehua bracelet, but the people in power at that time made a wrong prediction and missed the opportunity.
Unexpectedly, Fairy Qingchen died later, and there was no news about the Yuehua Bracelet since then. I am the oldest member of the Huanling Clan, and I am waiting for the destined person to save our clan."
After hearing this, Gu Shihan looked at each other in confusion. Did he become a tool again?
The old man looked at Shi Han without saying anything, and sighed in his heart. He could only speak again: "If my guess is correct, you are the owner of the Yuehua bracelet, right?"
Xing Bai looked up in surprise, his eyes a little cold: "What do you mean?"
"Nine-tailed Sky Fox? The space beast of the Moonlight Bracelet? Fairy Qingchen's greatest reliance! Am I wrong?" The old man looked at the alert people and continued, "Don't be hostile to me. Your coming here is a deal made between me and Brother Jiutian. The purpose is just to entrust my Huanling clan to you."
"Who is the Great Emperor Jiutian?" Gu Shihan asked.
The old man sighed and said, "I don't know who the Nine Heavens Emperor is. I only know that the world is in his hands, whether it's the immortals, demons, monsters, or our spirit race. It's just that he is now asleep, and the world has lost its original basic order. Alas, my mission is completed and it's time for me to return to dust."
