Chapter 306
This power seemed to come from an ancient nimble dragon, with a glowing aura surrounding it, circling and dancing freely in the sky.
Every time it swung its tail, it stirred up ripples of spiritual power. Wherever it passed, it tore through the void and opened up a relatively safe passage.
Around the passage, the space was slightly distorted, and spiritual energy was interwoven like silk threads, flashing with colorful light. Gu Shihan and Xing Bai cooperated well and could understand each other's intentions with just a glance.
Gu Shihan swung the long sword in his hand, releasing a sharp sword energy, while Xingbai controlled the spiritual power shield to protect the three of them.
With their close cooperation, the master and servants - Gu Shihan, Xingbai and Yutong - cleverly dodged the hidden weapons shot from all directions, dodged the sudden protruding spikes on the ground, passed through numerous mechanisms and obstacles without any danger, and gradually went deep into the core area of the ruins.
As you step into the core area, an old and mysterious atmosphere hits you.
"Hanhan, look what that is?" Xingbai said anxiously, pointing at the stone platform in front.
"Sister, it's a book!" Yutong jumped up excitedly, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.
It was indeed a book, an ancient book lying quietly in the center of the stone platform, and it looked extraordinary at first glance.
This book looks very old. The cover is yellowed and damaged, and there are traces of insects at the corners. The pages have become fragile and brittle due to the passage of time, as if they would turn into powder with the slightest touch.
What is even more troubling is that the characters in the classics are crooked and difficult to understand, and there seems to be a mysterious force flowing between the strokes, like some kind of mysterious code symbol.
"What kind of words are these? They're so crooked, and they don't even look like runes." Yu Tong came close to Gu Shihan, glanced at them, then walked away muttering. She was really too impatient to look at this.
Gu Shihan just smiled, calmed down, and carefully recalled the various ancient books and texts that Fairy Qingchen had taught him in the past.
The ancient Chinese character comparison table that Fairy Qingchen had passed on to her was still engraved in her mind. She compared it character by character, and after some effort, she managed to decipher some important contents of this ancient book...
"Hanhan, do you understand?" Xingbai looked at Gu Shihan, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Well, I have a general idea. The book records that this dark force originated from the remnant soul of an ancient demon god. Before he was sealed, he laid out all kinds of conspiracies and back-up plans in an attempt to make a comeback ten thousand years later and rule the entire fairy world." Gu Shihan frowned and said solemnly.
"No wonder the fairy world suddenly declined, it turns out that this demon was behind it." Xingbai said gritting his teeth, his clenched fists trembling slightly with anger.
"Sister, what should we do then?" Yutong asked anxiously, her eyes full of worry and helplessness.
Xing Bai pondered for a moment and said, "Now that we know the source, we should try to find the place where the remaining soul of the demon god is sealed. Maybe we can find a way to crack it there."
"Indeed, I will leave the information I found here and we will continue searching based on the clues." Gu Shihan said as he passed the message and took Xingbai and Yutong on a journey to find the sealed place.
Along the way, the three experienced hardships and dangers. They crossed the hot volcanic area, with boiling magma under their feet, which could erupt and swallow them at any time; they also stepped into the freezing cold glacier and snowfield, with the biting cold wind blowing across their faces like a knife, and they would be frozen to death if they were not careful.
Not only do they have to face the harsh natural environment, but they also have to resist the pursuit of dark forces.
The power of darkness transforms into monsters in various forms. They either hide in darkness and attack when people are least prepared, or come in groups, pouncing on people with bared fangs and claws.
Several people were hurrying along the road when they saw a seemingly peaceful swamp not far ahead.
We stopped and looked carefully at the swamp. Although it was a bit muddy, it didn't seem to be very dangerous. So we started to cross the swamp.
However, something unexpected happened. When they reached the center of the swamp, the ground under their feet suddenly became soft and several people fell into the deep quagmire without any preparation.
The thick mud quickly covered their ankles and knees, and the more they struggled, the faster they sank.
What's worse is that as they sink deeper, the surrounding environment begins to change. In the originally quiet swamp, dark shadows continue to emerge from all directions. They are actually a group of hideous monsters that exude an evil aura!
These monsters have different shapes, some have twisted limbs, some have huge heads, mouths full of sharp fangs, and emit bursts of creepy roars.
"Hanhan, it's bad! We were tricked by those guys!" Xingbai muttered and complained, his face full of panic.
"Xingbai, it's already so late, stop chattering and get to work!" Yutong shouted anxiously at the side, her voice trembling slightly with nervousness.
"Okay! In that case, let's fight these monsters!" Xingbai gritted his teeth, clenched the weapon in his hand, and prepared to meet the enemy.
"That's right! Xingbai, let's work together to get rid of these monsters first. Yutong, this swamp depends on you. You must find a way to use fire spells to burn a path for us to escape!" Gu Shihan ordered loudly, his eyes firm and calm.
The three of them immediately took action. Xing Bai and Gu Shihan brandished their weapons and engaged in a fierce fight with the monster that pounced on them.
Xing Bai's sword was sharp, and every time he swung it brought out a sword energy, which repelled the approaching monsters; Gu Shihan displayed exquisite sword skills, his body was agile, and he moved freely among the group of monsters. He stabbed with the long sword in his hand and accurately hit the monsters' vital points.
Yu Tong concentrated her energy and cast a fire spell. She quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something. A ball of blazing flame gathered in her palms, which she then pushed out suddenly. The flame spread toward the swamp like a surging tide, trying to open up a safe passage in the swamp.
For a moment, swords flashed and sparks flew, and shouts of killing rang out one after another. Fortunately, Gu Shihan had many tricks and killed all the invading monsters.
On this day, Gu Shihan found the place where the remaining soul of the demon was sealed - Black Stone Canyon.
Blackrock Canyon is hidden deep in the Blackrock Mountains, like a mysterious and dangerous crack, quietly hidden in the depths of this vast mountain forest.
The mountains are full of rugged rocks and steep peaks that reach into the sky. The mountains are filled with thick fog that lasts all year round.
According to legend, the remaining soul of the demon god that terrified the world was sealed in this valley.
As time goes by, the Black Rock Canyon is now shrouded in a layer of dark fog as thick as ink, and the entire valley is immersed in a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.
