Stepping into the dark rift, Su Yao and her group felt as if they had entered another world. The thick, inky darkness almost swallowed them whole, and the air was thick with the stench of decay and death. Eerie whispers echoed in their ears, as if countless eyes were watching them from the shadows.
Su Yao activated the system's detection function and cautiously probed forward. Suddenly, a horde of zombies surged forward like a tide, their bodies twisted, emitting a nauseating stench, and emitting sharp howls. Su Yao's eyes turned cold, and her hands swiftly formed hand seals, activating her ice-based power. Several sharp ice spikes instantly formed and shot towards the zombie horde like arrows, piercing through the bodies of the front-line zombies. But the zombies showed no fear and continued their frenzied advance.
Su Yao's father roared, activating his power shield. Like a towering mountain, he charged into the horde of zombies, each punch carrying immense force, sending approaching zombies flying. Meanwhile, her mother used her healing abilities from behind to replenish her father's strength, while simultaneously remaining vigilant for any potential dangers.
"Mom and Dad, there are too many zombies here! We need to find a way to break through quickly!" Su Yao shouted. With a thought, a large number of weapons stored in her spatial storage appeared in her hands. She tossed some to her parents, while she herself held a longsword, the blade instantly engulfed in flames, forming a flaming longsword. Su Yao unleashed a Flame Wind Blast, the powerful force exploding amidst the zombie horde, sending limbs and fragments flying everywhere.
During the fierce battle, Su Yao discovered that the crystal cores of these zombies seemed to be purer and more powerful than those outside. "If we can collect enough crystal cores, our abilities can be further enhanced," she thought as she fought. So, after repelling a wave of zombies, she quickly began collecting crystal cores, storing them one by one into her spatial storage.
Continuing deeper into the crevice, they encountered a mutated, gigantic vine. The vine writhed like a giant python, covered in sharp thorns, and capable of spraying corrosive liquid. Su Yao activated her psychic abilities, attempting to control the vine, but found its resistance extremely strong. She immediately changed tactics, coordinating with her parents. Her father used a power shield to block the corrosive liquid, while Su Yao and her mother attacked the vine's roots from both sides.
After a fierce battle, the mutated vines were finally severed. Meanwhile, Su Yao's parents also honed their skills in the fight, achieving new breakthroughs in their abilities. Her father's power shield could now change shape according to his will, allowing for more flexible attacks and defenses; her mother's life-reversal ability expanded its range and could heal while simultaneously clearing negative energy from the target's body.
As they ventured deeper, they sensed an even more powerful fluctuation of dark energy. Before a massive, dark cave, Su Yao stopped. "The source of this dark energy must be inside. We need to be fully prepared." She retrieved an abundance of supplies from her spatial storage—enough to last several lifetimes—and selected some precious items that could enhance their abilities and restore their strength, which she and her parents consumed together.
After composing themselves, they slowly entered the cave. An eerie light flickered within, and faint black patterns writhed on the walls. Suddenly, a colossal dark beast roared forth from the depths of the cave; its body was as large as a mountain, and its eyes burned with dark flames.
Su Yao took a deep breath, maximizing her supernatural abilities. She launched the first attack, alternating between ice and fire powers to create a dual attack pattern of ice and fire. Her father, meanwhile, unleashed his power shield and charged towards the giant beast, drawing its attention. Her mother provided continuous healing and support from behind, while simultaneously using her mental power to disrupt the beast's movements.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Su Yao discovered that the behemoth's weakness seemed to be a massive crystal core on its forehead. "I must find a way to hit its crystal core!" she shouted. So, she unleashed her wind-elemental power, pushing her speed to the limit, and charged towards the behemoth's forehead, wielding her flaming longsword. The behemoth seemed to sense her intention and frantically swung its claws at her. Su Yao nimbly dodged, and at the crucial moment, using the rebound force of her father's power shield, she leaped high into the air and fiercely thrust her flaming longsword towards the behemoth's crystal core.
With a deafening roar, the colossal beast crashed to the ground. Su Yao successfully retrieved its crystal core, which radiated a dazzling light and contained immense energy. "With this crystal core, our abilities might reach a whole new level, and we might even be able to completely close this dark rift," Su Yao said, her eyes filled with unwavering determination and hope. They also knew that more dangers might await them ahead, but as long as the family worked together, nothing could stop their determination to save the world.
