Upon entering the ancient cave, Su Yao sensed a powerful undercurrent of energy surging beneath her feet. The walls flickered with eerie phosphorescent light, casting a sinister glow over the narrow passage.
"Everyone be careful, the mechanisms here are probably unusual," Su Yao whispered a warning, her psychic abilities spreading out like a spider web to detect the dangers ahead.
They had only taken a few steps when the ground suddenly trembled violently, and sharp stone spikes abruptly shot out from the ground. Su Yao reacted swiftly, forming hand seals, and a strong gust of wind surged from her palms, blowing her teammates away from the range of the spikes. Her father roared, instantly enveloping his entire body in a power shield, and stomped his foot forcefully, shattering any approaching spikes. Her mother quickly summoned vines, which wrapped around everyone's feet to stabilize them, while her healing abilities remained on standby, ready to treat any potentially injured teammates.
They slowly made their way along the passage and arrived at a huge stone chamber. In the center of the chamber was a circular stone platform, on which sat a crystal ball that emitted a seven-colored light. Surrounding the crystal ball were three huge python statues. Suddenly, the eyes of the statues lit up, and then the three huge mutated pythons broke free from the statues, opened their blood-red mouths, and lunged at the group with their tongues out.
Su Yao immediately unleashed her ice-based abilities, shooting several ice blades towards the python's eyes in an attempt to disrupt its attack. Her father charged towards the python, a power shield forming a solid barrier in front of him. He swung his arms, each strike carrying immense force, engaging the python in close combat. Her mother, from behind, used her healing abilities to support her father, ensuring he remained combat-ready amidst the python's fierce attacks. Simultaneously, she directed mutated plants to emerge from the cracks in the surrounding walls, attempting to trap the python.
During the fierce battle, Su Yao discovered that the pythons' weakness lay in the thinner scales on their necks. She shouted to her teammates, then focused her mind and used her mental abilities to disrupt the pythons' movements, exposing the opening in their necks.
Upon hearing this, the teammates changed their attack strategy, concentrating their firepower on the pythons' necks. After a fierce battle, they finally succeeded in killing three mutated pythons.
As Su Yao walked towards the stone platform, preparing to pick up the seven-colored crystal ball, a deep roar suddenly echoed from the depths of the cave. The sound seemed to come from an ancient behemoth, filled with anger and majesty, causing the entire cave to tremble.
"This is bad, there might be even more powerful guardian beasts." Su Yao's expression was solemn. She knew that the real test had only just begun.
A moment later, a giant fiery unicorn slowly emerged from the depths of the cave. The unicorn was engulfed in flames, and each step it took left a burning footprint, distorting the surrounding air with intense heat.
Su Yao quickly activated all her supernatural protective abilities, formed hand seals, and summoned several supernatural swords that hovered around her. Her father and teammates were also on high alert, ready to face this life-or-death battle.
The Flame Qilin launched the first attack, spewing out a massive pillar of fire. Su Yao manipulated her supernatural swords to form a sword shield to defend against it. The intense heat of the flames caused the surrounding rocks to melt, but Su Yao gritted her teeth and persevered, searching for the Flame Qilin's weakness while defending herself.
She noticed that after the Qilin launched its attack, there would be a brief period of reduced energy fluctuations in its abdomen. Seizing the opportunity, she concealed a supernatural sword under the cover of her fire attack and shot it towards the Qilin's abdomen.
The Qilin roared in pain and rage, its attacks becoming even more ferocious. It stomped the ground with its burning hooves, unleashing waves of fire that hurtled towards the group. Su Yao moved swiftly, weaving through the shockwaves, relentlessly attacking the Qilin's vulnerable spots, such as its eyes and joints, with her special abilities.
After a thrilling and intense battle, Su Yao finally found the Flame Qilin's fatal weakness—its inner core. She unleashed her strongest attack, concentrating all her supernatural powers into a giant supernatural sword, and then thrust it with all her might towards the Flame Qilin's inner core. The Flame Qilin let out a deafening scream, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
Su Yao extracted powerful energy from the Qilin's inner core, which she brought back to the safe house to share with her parents. Nourished by the energy, her parents' supernatural abilities were further enhanced, and their bodies became more resilient.
Su Yao took the seven-colored crystal ball back to the Alliance base. Research revealed that the crystal ball possessed the ability to purify large areas of dark energy and zombie virus, bringing them new hope and direction for saving the apocalypse. However, Su Yao also knew that the road ahead was still fraught with difficulties; they must continue to explore and fight to completely reverse the situation in this apocalyptic world.
