Chapter 330 Forbidden Land, Bizarre Illusion
As Huanmo and the others stepped through the stone gate, a damp and rotten stench assaulted their nostrils, making them feel nauseous. All around was pitch black, with only a faint glimmer of light flickering in the distance, like the only hope in the darkness. The ground beneath their feet was uneven, and with each step, the gravel crunched and groaned.
Huanmo walked at the front, gripping his sword tightly, warily scanning the surrounding darkness. His heart pounded involuntarily, a nameless fear spreading through him. "This place has an inexplicable eeriness; I wonder what dangers await us," he thought to himself, constantly reminding himself to remain calm.
Yi Chen followed closely behind Huan Mo, gripping his spear tightly, a hint of tension in his eyes. "Huan Mo, it seems like something is watching us in the darkness," he whispered, his voice trembling slightly.
The woman in white sensed the unease around her. Her hands trembled slightly, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the ribbon. "We must be careful and not act rashly," she whispered, her eyes scanning the darkness.
As they cautiously moved forward, a low, sinister laugh suddenly echoed from the surrounding darkness. The laugh was eerie and terrifying, seemingly emanating from the depths of hell, sending chills down their spines. Huanmo and the others immediately stopped, warily scanning their surroundings.
"Who is it? Come out!" Huanmo shouted, his voice echoing in the darkness. However, all that answered him was a sinister laugh, which grew louder and louder, as if it would devour them.
Suddenly, the scene changed; a beautiful forest appeared in the previously dark space. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting golden dappled patterns on the ground. Birds sang merrily in the branches, and butterflies danced among the flowers.
Huanmo and the others were stunned by the sight before them; they couldn't believe their eyes. "What... what's going on?" Yichen asked in surprise.
The woman in white looked around with a puzzled expression and said, "This place looks so beautiful, it doesn't seem like a 'forbidden place'."
Huanmo was not fooled by the beautiful scenery before him; his heart was filled with vigilance. "This must be an illusion. We can't be fooled by it. Everyone be careful; there's definitely danger lurking in this illusion," he said, gripping his sword tightly.
Just then, a familiar figure emerged from the forest. Huanmo looked closely and realized it was the little girl they had met before. The little girl wore an innocent smile as she walked towards them.
"Big brother, big sister, what are you doing here? It's dangerous here, come with me quickly," the little girl said.
Huanmo stared at the little girl, his eyes filled with wariness. "Who are you? Why are you lying to us?" he shouted.
Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed in the little girl's eyes, and she said, "Big brother, I didn't lie to you, I really want to help you. This is the illusion of the 'Forbidden Land,' and once you're trapped inside, it's very difficult to get out."
Huanmo and the others hesitated after hearing the little girl's words. Yichen looked at the little girl and said, "Why should we believe you? Didn't you try to stop us from entering the 'Forbidden Land' before?"
The little girl sighed and said, "I was ordered by my master to stop you from entering. But now I've realized you're not bad people, and I don't want to see you die here."
Huanmo's heart stirred. He looked at the little girl and said, "Then can you tell us how to leave this illusion?"
The little girl nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you find the center of the illusion and break the crystal ball there, the illusion will disappear. However, there is a powerful guardian beast at the center of the illusion, which is very dangerous."
Huanmo and the others pondered silently after hearing the little girl's words. Huanmo looked at his companions and said, "No matter how dangerous it is, we must try. We can't be trapped here; we must find the artifact."
Everyone nodded, and they followed the little girl toward the center of the illusion. Along the way, although the scenery was beautiful, Huanmo and the others had no time to appreciate it. They remained constantly vigilant, wary of any sudden danger.
Finally, they arrived at the center of the illusion. A gigantic crystal ball floated in the air, emitting a soft glow, surrounded by a massive white lion. The lion's body radiated a powerful aura, and its eyes, like two enormous gemstones, gazed upon Huanmo and the others.
"That's it, the guardian beast. Everyone be careful, let's attack together!" Huanmo said, charging towards the guardian beast first. Yichen and the woman in white followed closely behind, brandishing their weapons and launching an attack on the guardian beast.
The guardian beast roared and swung its massive claws at them. Huanmo and the others quickly dodged and then looked for an opportunity to counterattack. However, the guardian beast was extremely powerful, and their attacks seemed to have little effect on it.
Huanmo felt a pang of anxiety. He looked at the guardian beast, pondering a solution. "This can't go on. We must find its weakness," he thought to himself.
Just then, the little girl suddenly shouted, "The guardian beast's eyes are its weak point! Attack its eyes!"
Huanmo and the others were delighted upon hearing the little girl's words. They seized the opportunity and launched attacks on the guardian beast's eyes. The guardian beast, in pain, roared and began to struggle violently.
After a fierce battle, the guardian beast was finally defeated and fell to the ground. Huanmo and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts filled with anticipation as they looked at the crystal ball floating in the air.
Huanmo stepped forward, raised his sword, and slashed at the crystal ball. With a crisp sound, the crystal ball shattered, and the surrounding illusion began to gradually disappear.
When the illusion completely disappeared, they found themselves back in the dark space inside the stone gate. A short distance ahead of them, a glowing path appeared.
Huanmo and the others looked at the path, feeling both excited and nervous. "It seems this is the path to the divine artifact," Yichen said.
"No matter what lies ahead, we must keep going," Huanmo said firmly, then led his companions toward the glowing path.
However, just as they took a few steps, suddenly, heavy footsteps echoed from the surrounding darkness. The footsteps grew closer, as if a huge figure was approaching them.
What exactly is that enormous figure? Will Huanmo and the others be able to successfully find the artifact along the path? What dangers and challenges will they encounter in this "forbidden land"? Everything is still unknown, waiting for them to discover.
