Chapter 20 Quickly Transmigrate! Conquer the Handsome Demon King (26)
Suddenly, a shadow flashed quickly from the cracked wall, and then a huge monster appeared in front of us.
It was pitch black, with eyes glowing green and sharp fangs visible at the corners of its mouth.
The monster let out a deep roar that hurt my eardrums.
Soon after, more monsters emerged from every corner of the ruins. They had different shapes, but all of them exuded a ferocious aura.
"Feng Ziang, prepare for battle!" Liang Xu's voice rang in my ears, and he quickly drew out the long sword from his waist, with a faint blue light flashing at the tip of the sword.
I also tightly grasped the staff in my hand, and spiritual power quickly gathered in my body.
The monsters swarmed over and attacked with extreme ferocity.
I swiftly swung my staff, and streams of spiritual energy swirled into a shield to block the monster's attack.
Liang Xu shuttled between the monsters like a ghost, and wherever the sword passed, the monsters wailed continuously.
The battle was extremely fierce, and Liang Xu and I were soon covered in wounds, but we both gritted our teeth and persevered, refusing to retreat a single step.
The surrounding rocks were shattered by the aftermath of the battle, and huge rocks hit the ground, stirring up clouds of dust. This tragic battle scene was terrifying.
At this moment, I keenly sensed a faint and strange spiritual power fluctuation. It seemed to be hidden in the deepest part of the ruins, guiding us silently.
"Liang Xu, I feel something..." I said softly, my eyes fixed on the direction of the wave.
While fending off the monster's attack, I carefully sensed the faint fluctuations of spiritual power.
Suddenly, I discovered that behind the seemingly crazy attacks of these monsters, there was a common rhythm, as if they were controlled by a mysterious force, and within this rhythm, there was a common weakness hidden.
"Liang Xu, these monsters' attacks have a common weakness. In the moment before each attack, there will be a brief spiritual power gap in the lower right abdomen." I shouted.
Liang Xu quickly understood and we started to cooperate.
When the monsters came again, I used my staff to attract their attention, while Liang Xu waited for the opportunity like a cheetah.
At the moment the monster was about to attack, Liang Xu suddenly thrust out his sword, accurately stabbing at the weak point.
For a moment, the monsters howled in pain, were defeated step by step, and finally dissipated in the ruins like smoke.
The battle was over, and Liang Xu and I both breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Xu looked at the wounds on my body, his eyes full of heartache. He gently raised his hand, and the warm spiritual power slowly wrapped around my wounds.
I raised my hand and gently stroked his face. His skin felt so real under my fingertips.
We stared at each other.
However, the brief moment of warmth was soon broken.
We know that the magic crystal has not been found yet and the truth is still waiting for us to uncover.
We took a deep breath and continued to search for the source of the spiritual power fluctuations.
The surrounding environment became increasingly gloomy, and the darkness seemed to have substance, constantly pressing down on us.
I could hear my own heavy breathing and heartbeat. In this eerily silent ruins, every step I took felt like stepping into an unknown abyss.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and I couldn't help but shiver. An ominous premonition came over me.
The deeper we went into the ruins, the air became increasingly stagnant, as if something was pressing on my chest.
Liang Xu's hand was still holding mine tightly. I could feel the warmth of his palm, which seemed particularly precious in the cold weather at this moment.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty passage, as if they were stepping on one's own heartbeat.
"Wait..." I stopped suddenly and felt a sharp pain in my fingertips. The strange spiritual power fluctuation was nearby, so strong that it almost burned my fingertips.
Following my feeling, my eyes fell on an inconspicuous bulge on the wall in front of me.
The moment I reached out to touch it, the wall suddenly opened up, and dazzling light leaked out from the gap. I subconsciously closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, the sight before me made me breathless—a gigantic crystal was suspended in the air, emitting dazzling light, and the spiritual energy around it was surging wildly, spinning like a whirlpool.
"Magic Crystal..." Liang Xu's voice rang in my ears, with a hint of uncontrollable excitement.
But this excitement was soon broken, as several figures appeared at the entrance of the cave almost at the same time, including Heisha, Xuelang, and Ye Xiutu. With greedy gleams in their eyes, they stared at the magic crystal.
The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, ready to explode.
"Feng Ziang, go get the magic crystal, leave this to me." Liang Xu pushed me towards the magic crystal, and at the same time turned around to face the people who were eyeing him covetously. Demonic energy surged around him, like a guardian god.
I took a deep breath and ran towards the magic crystal.
Every step I took felt like I was walking on the edge of a knife. The spiritual energy fluctuations around me became more and more violent, almost tearing me apart.
Closer, closer...
Just when my fingertips were about to touch the magic crystal, an overwhelming force suddenly pushed me away, "Liang Xu!"...
My body flew backwards uncontrollably, and my back hit the hard stone wall heavily. All my internal organs seemed to shift out of place, and a fishy and sweet taste rose to my throat, which I forced back.
My vision went dark and my ears were buzzing. It took me a long time to regain some clarity.
I struggled to raise my head. The huge magic crystal was still suspended in the air, emitting a dazzling light. It was so close, yet so far away.
My fingertips still seem to retain the cold feeling of when I touched it, and a strong sense of unwillingness is gnawing at my heart.
"Liang Xu!" I shouted his name hoarsely, looking over the crowd, I saw that he was being besieged by many men led by Heisha. Demonic energy was surging, but those enemies that surged in like a tide made him gradually feel exhausted.
Heisha's sinister laughter swirled around his ears like a poisonous snake, "Demon King? Nothing more than this!"
My heart sank suddenly and an inexplicable feeling of fear came over me.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and dust, and the surrounding stone walls made teeth-grinding cracking sounds under the violent impact, as if they would collapse at any time.
The eyes of those bystanders who were waiting for an opportunity revealed greed and madness. They were like a group of beasts that smelled blood, ready to make a move.
I saw Blood Wolf also joined the battle. He was swinging a huge mace. Every swing was accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air and stirring up gusts of wind.
Ye Xiutu hid in the crowd, occasionally shooting some sinister arrows to distract Liang Xu's sight.
I tried to calm myself down and stand up again, but my body felt like it was falling apart and I couldn't move.
Everything in front of me seemed to be covered by a layer of gray filter, blurry and unclear.
Suddenly, a sharp voice pierced my eardrums. "The magic crystal is mine!"
The figure of the white fox emerged from the crowd. He was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning, and rushed straight towards the magic crystal.
