Chapter 233 The Situation is Grim
They were acutely aware that the situation had reached an extremely critical juncture.
If decisive and effective action is not taken soon, the little spirit beast may be in mortal danger.
Even the brave and fearless man and the beautiful and charming Huan Yuechu will not be able to escape this calamity.
At this moment, time is life!
The elves exchanged glances and saw the same unwavering determination in each other's eyes.
Without any further verbal exchange, they made a difficult yet momentous decision without hesitation—to join forces and cast an ancient and mysterious formation that had been passed down for centuries.
It is said that this formation is incredibly powerful, capable of inflicting heavy damage on powerful enemies or even sealing them away completely.
However, to successfully activate and maintain the operation of this formation, it is necessary to consume a large amount of the caster's precious life force as the driving energy.
Even though he knew that doing so would bring him great risks and might even cost him dearly.
But in order to prevent the evil forces from escaping, and to give the man and Huan Yuechu, who were in danger, even the slightest hope of survival.
These kind and brave spirits still chose the path of self-sacrifice without hesitation.
In their view, personal life and death are far less important than saving others' lives and safeguarding world peace.
As the ancient incantations chanted by the elves rang out, a rich green light instantly filled the entire cave.
These rays of light seemed to have a life of their own, rapidly intertwining to form an enormous net of light.
This net of light emitted mysterious and powerful energy fluctuations, and with lightning speed, it enveloped the evil force.
When the net of light touched the evil forces, a dazzling spark erupted between them.
Then the evil force seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.
It struggled frantically, trying to break free of its restraints, but no matter how hard it tried, it was to no avail.
“What are they…” Huan Yuechu looked at everything happening in front of her in surprise, and was momentarily at a loss.
"Buy us some time." The man reacted quickly, grabbing Huan Yuechu's hand and running towards the cave exit without hesitation.
At this moment, every second is extremely precious and cannot be wasted in the slightest.
The two ran wildly along the route marked on the map they had found earlier, the ground beneath their feet trembling slightly with their hurried footsteps.
The angry roar of the evil force, trapped and deafening, echoed in my ears, making my eardrums ache and seemingly shaking the entire cave.
Although they had temporarily escaped danger, neither the man nor Huan Yuechu felt any relief.
They knew full well that their escape was entirely due to the precious opportunity bought with the lives of those brave spirits.
If a way to restrain and reseal this evil force cannot be found as soon as possible.
Not only would their own lives be in danger, but the entire world could also be plunged into a terrible catastrophe.
Thinking of this, the man and Huan Yuechu quickened their pace, their figures soon disappearing into the dark, deep cave passage...
They ran frantically through the cave passages, as if time had lost its meaning.
The darkness followed them like a shadow, enveloping them tightly and making it almost impossible for them to breathe.
However, the yearning for light and hope in their hearts, like a burning flame, drove them forward relentlessly.
They didn't know how long they had been running, but their legs felt as heavy as lead, and their breathing became rapid.
But just then, a faint glimmer of light appeared ahead!
Although this glimmer of light was as small as a candle flickering in the wind, it was dazzling to them in the darkness.
After they used their last bit of strength to desperately rush out of the exit,
The sight before them left them speechless—they found themselves in a strange forest!
The trees here are taller than you can imagine, their branches twisting and turning like giant dragons flying in the air.
The leaves were even more peculiar, shimmering with a cold, eerie light, as if each leaf were a mysterious star.
Just as the two were marveling at this strange forest, the map that Huan Yuechu had been holding tightly in her hand suddenly emitted a faint golden light.
This golden light, like a nimble sprite, wandered and darted across the map, eventually settling in a specific direction, seemingly guiding them on their way forward.
So, the two of them headed in the direction indicated by the map without hesitation.
Along the way, they carefully avoided places that might hide dangers, while being captivated by the magical scenery around them.
Before long, an ancient temple appeared before them.
The temple looked solemn and dignified, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
Its temple gates were tightly closed, as if guarding some unknown secret.
Around the temple gate, there are densely packed, strangely shaped runes, which are like ancient codes waiting for the right person to decipher them.
The man took a deep breath, slowly reached out, and gently touched the tightly closed temple door.
In an instant, a powerful electric current surged from his fingertips throughout his entire body.
He felt his body tremble and was in excruciating pain.
But he did not back down. Instead, he gritted his teeth, used all his strength, and pushed open the heavy door...
Deep within that mysterious land, stands a colossal statue of a god.
This statue is tens of feet tall and exudes an awe-inspiring aura.
Its empty, lifeless eyes seemed to pierce through time and space, gazing upon all things in the world.
What is most eye-catching is the jet-black iron weapon held in the statue's hands.
Just as everyone approached the statue with curiosity and trepidation.
Suddenly, an invisible barrier appeared before them without warning, like an indestructible city wall, blocking them from the outside.
Seeing this, the man stepped forward first, deciding to launch a probing attack on the barrier.
He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and suddenly threw a punch at the barrier.
However, to everyone's surprise, his fist had just touched the barrier.
It was as if it had hit a highly elastic wall, and was instantly bounced back by a powerful reaction force.
The man stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
