Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately raised the Thunderstrike Sword and slashed forward.
Sizzle...
The electric arc struck the slightly bluish stone slab, but the slab was incredibly hard.
That impact actually made my wrist ache.
Holy crap?
This thing looks like just an ordinary stone slab.
There should never be such energy!
I stared at the stone slab in front of me, already quite shocked.
It actually managed to swallow up the attack that He Lei and I combined with our fencing, and even knocked us back.
I was incredulous, and then I swung my sword down a few more times with all my might.
But the stone slab seemed to possess some kind of immense magic, and the result was still the same; it still had that eerie appearance.
The only difference is that the moss on this one is much denser than before.
When I saw this, I was truly shocked.
However, after careful consideration, it is understandable.
In this maze-like environment, the Thunder Strike Sword can probably only unleash its full power.
Otherwise, with his lightning sword skills, there's no way he could have let that stone slab survive two moves against him.
Even if this item has been stored away for a long time, it absolutely cannot withstand the strike of the lightning sword.
In this maze-like situation, I seem to have been weakened to some extent.
Meanwhile, Yiyi, who was standing nearby, seemed to have noticed something amiss.
"Brother, I'll help you!"
I nodded slightly and looked at the girl behind me. She was also rubbing something with her hands in front of her chest.
Immediately, Yi Yi summoned a pink energy, which slowly flowed from her wrist to her fingertips, and then she unleashed a powerful strike.
When I saw this, I took two steps back.
The energy that Yi Yi unleashed shot straight towards the stairs, and the moss on the stairs seemed to be frightened when it saw this slight pink color.
They all retreated!
I finally laughed: "Great! That's perfect!"
And when I said that, Yiyi was very happy.
Her long-absent smile still carried a hint of shyness.
At that moment, I quickly grabbed the lightning sword again and slashed down hard.
"Master, the energy in this ghost wall is very strong; it's not some ordinary evil thing!"
After hearing Lei Jijian's words, I understood even more.
Simply gathering power won't cut through.
"Okay, I'll give you time to prepare!"
I gripped the sword hilt tightly, while Yiyi beside me continued to channel energy into the stairs.
While the Thunder Strike Sword was charging up, Yi Yi reached into her pocket and slowly pulled out the Dewdrop Branch.
This is?
I didn't understand it for a moment. At this moment, the Dew Branch seemed to have regained some energy!
I asked incredulously, "Yiyi, what's going on?"
The girl thought for a moment and then said, "Brother, I didn't generate that pink energy just now."
I also don't have the right to cast spells in this kind of maze-like environment.
Listening to Yiyi's words, I was even more confused.
Could it be that Yiyi can only unleash her full potential within the manor?
Even in the shallower parts of this Dragon Palace, there might be some discounts?
Not only that, it seems that ever since we entered this maze-like third floor, Yiyi's condition has not been very good.
It's only now that I'm starting to understand that Yiyi seems to face significant limitations here!
Not only that, but since Yiyi arrived on the third floor, it seems she hasn't used her abilities at all.
I looked at the dew-covered branch in her hand. This branch was different from the one before. Now it was emitting a faint pink light!
Just like what we first saw in the deep sea!
Unexpectedly, after not looking at it for a while, it had already begun to radiate a certain amount of vitality!
I was very puzzled, so I asked Yiyi again.
“Brother, according to my guess, this Dew-Condensing Branch should have sensed the sea marrow in the vicinity. Even if it is old sea marrow, it has not been fully extracted yet.”
It can't be used directly as fertilizer, but even just the scent should be something the dew-covered branches would really like!
Hearing this, I understood quite a bit.
Indeed!
What Yiyi said is absolutely correct.
How come I didn't think of that?
If the sea marrow here is truly useful, then Ningluzhi would definitely love it.
So much energy is concentrated in this dew-covered branch; countless people have died tragically here, and some of those inside possess very high levels of energy.
Regardless of the number of individuals, as long as the quantity accumulates and all the dew gathers within this dew-condensing branch, the dew-condensing branch will naturally grow into a powerful spiritual object.
In this way, even without independent consciousness, the Dew-Gathering Branch can exhibit a reaction similar to that of the Mimosa pudica.
In other words, we are already very excited to see these sea marrows that have not yet been fully extracted from the dew branches we have now!
Damn, that means all the aged sea marrow around us right now is perfectly usable!
Thinking of this, I gripped the lightning sword even tighter.
If you look closely at the dew-covered branches, you'll notice they also radiate a slight warmth.
It drove away some of the fishy, sweet smell in the surrounding area.
Just as I was preparing to strike downwards with all my might, I heard a series of footsteps coming from the corridor in the distance.
It's just like a child running uphill in slippers!
I listened carefully, and it sounded like it was running downwards!
I quickly stopped my attack, then took out my flashlight and shone it on the target, relying on the light emanating from the Thunderstrike Sword.
However, to my surprise, when we illuminated the end of the corridor, the footsteps we had just heard did indeed disappear.
We didn't see anything.
Just as I relaxed for a moment and became alert to the footsteps, they started again, getting closer and louder.
When they looked again, there was nothing there, but this time the sound did not disappear.
Getting closer and closer!
Da da da...
"Who goes there!"
"Who's there! Come out!"
At that moment, Yiyi and I shouted it out almost at the same time.
It can't be that same Zhou the fatso from before, can it?
Although that fat Zhou disappeared inexplicably, I don't think he would reappear under these circumstances.
To see that fat man again, I think we'll absolutely have to find him ourselves. By then, he'll either have been captured or he'll already be dead.
If I have to wait for him to show up on his own, I really don't know why he just disappeared.
Then he would have absolutely no motive.
Just as I was wondering what was going on, I noticed another string of small footprints on the ground...
