PDLP Chapter 163 Chi
Chapter 163 Chi
Walnut looked at the determined expressions of the crowd, her eyes slightly reddened, and she was deeply moved.
"Thank you everyone..." Hu Tao's voice was a little choked. Hu Tao tried hard to control her emotions, but still couldn't help shedding tears.
Hu Tao's father patted Hu Tao's head and bowed to the crowd. "Thank you for your willingness to accompany us on this adventure. Due to the special nature of our business at Wangsheng Hall, it's difficult to make close friends. But seeing how much you care about Hu Tao, I'm relieved. However, I must remind everyone that danger is everywhere in this "borderland." Everyone must not act rashly."
Everyone responded in unison: "Okay!"
So, everyone continued to explore this mysterious "border" area.
They took every step carefully and remained highly vigilant at all times.
Along the way, they encountered many strange sights and monsters. Some places were filled with a strange aura, as if it came from the underworld, making people shudder; in other places, there were many hideous monsters.
Time ticked by, and they gradually delved deeper into the "border." As their exploration progressed, a deep canyon suddenly appeared ahead. It seemed like a gaping wound in the earth, torn open by a mysterious force. Thick fog filled the valley floor, like a thick veil, obscuring the view beyond.
Hu Tao's father stopped and said solemnly, "This place used to be flat. This canyon must have appeared recently. The Chi's nest must be down there."
Before he could finish his words, a strong wind blew out from the canyon. The wind was like a ferocious beast, making everyone's clothes rustle.
"Be careful!" Walnut's father shouted
After the strong wind, everyone found that the surrounding scenery began to change. The originally clear road became blurred, as if they were in an illusory world.
"What's going on?" Yidou said in panic.
Hu Tao frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid it's the Chi's power that's causing this. Everyone, don't panic, just stay together."
At this moment, a sinister laugh came from the mist, making people shudder...
That sinister laughter echoed through the canyon, as if it came from the netherworld. A chill ran down everyone's spine, yet they forced themselves to remain calm and huddled together.
Chongyun's eyes flashed, and he threw out a few talismans and shouted, "Monster, how dare you cause trouble here!"
The laughter didn't stop, but grew even more frantic. The mist began to surge, as if manipulated by some immense force. Ayato narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "The power of this Chi cannot be underestimated. Everyone must be careful."
At this time, several huge tentacles stretched out from the black fog.
"Scatter!" Walnut's father shouted.
Everyone quickly scattered, and the huge tentacle swept across where they had just stood.
Walnut rolled to the side nimbly, the staff of Homa in her hand ignited with flames, and with a delicate cry, she smashed hard at the tentacle.
The tentacles were burned by the flames and retracted suddenly, but soon attacked again.
Yidou brandished his mace and rushed towards the tentacle: "Look at me, I'll smash you to pieces!"
However, the tentacles were so powerful that Yidou was thrown violently out.
Xinyang quickly used the power of wind element to catch Yidou.
Then he and Linghua swung their swords together, and the swords were filled with cold air. In an instant, all the tentacles were frozen.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the frozen tentacle suddenly trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared on the ice in an instant.
"Quick! Smash these tentacles!" Xinyang shouted.
Kurumi's father took the lead, the Homa staff in his hand shuttled like a dragon, and every stab could hit the tentacles accurately and break them. Kurumi followed closely behind, and her Homa staff emitted a blazing flame, burning the tentacles that broke free from the ice.
As the battle continued, the group gradually gained the upper hand. Under everyone's combined attack, those huge tentacles were cut off and destroyed one by one.
After the last tentacle was destroyed, the fog in the canyon seemed to grow even thicker. An oppressive atmosphere enveloped everyone, as if a pair of invisible eyes were watching them from the shadows.
Hu Tao's father frowned and said, "Everyone be careful, there must be more Chi than this, and it will only get more difficult next time." Everyone nodded, tightly gripped their weapons, and vigilantly observed the movements around them.
At this moment, a low roar came from the depths of the canyon, the voice was full of anger and majesty.
Soon, three monsters that looked like the one they had encountered before appeared in front of everyone.
Their bodies were even larger and stronger, each one towering like a small mountain. Their bodies were covered in hard scales that gleamed coldly in the dim light, like indestructible armor. Their heads were hideous and terrifying, their huge eyes flashing with ferocity, their mouths filled with sharp teeth, and exuding a sickening stench.
The appearance of these three monsters plunged the entire canyon into deathly silence.
The leading monster actually spoke: "How many years has it been? You are still so weak? Where is Morax? Let him get out. I don't have time to mess with you." Its voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Kurumi's father pointed his gun at the monster and said, "You can't just go see the Rock King whenever you want. You've only just managed to regain some of your power. We won't let you do anything wrong in this 'border'."
The monster's eyes scanned the crowd and snorted contemptuously: "Just you ants, you dare to stop me?
The monster laughed loudly, looking up to the sky. The sound shook the fog in the canyon and violently surged. "Hahahaha, they are just a bunch of guys who overestimate their own abilities."
"You'll know if you're overestimating your abilities after giving it a try." After saying that, Xinyang's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of the monster.
The monster narrowed its eyes slightly and showed a ferocious smile: "Okay, then let me see how capable you are.
As soon as the words fell, the two monsters on either side immediately took up their positions. They growled deeply, their scales trembling slightly, as if gathering strength for the coming battle. One of the monsters opened its bloody mouth, revealing sharp teeth and emitting a sickening stench, as if to taunt the crowd.
The other monster waved its huge claws, leaving deep marks on the ground. Each movement was powerful, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Xinyang covered his nose and complained: "Did he eat shit? It stinks so much, do you want to make me faint before the fight starts?" After hearing this, the tense atmosphere eased a little, but they still didn't dare to take it lightly.
Xinyang attacked first, compressing the wind element onto the West Wind Sword. The sword instantly erupted with intense light, and the wind blades whizzed out like a whirlwind, heading straight for the foul-smelling monster. Seeing this, the monster roared, and a cloud of black, foul air erupted from its mouth, colliding with the wind blades with a dull sound.
The wind blade was blocked by the turbid air, temporarily unable to advance. Xinyang's eyes focused, and he increased the output of the wind element. The wind blade became more powerful, gradually breaking through the obstruction of the turbid air. The monster was startled and quickly waved its huge claws, trying to disperse the wind blade. However, the wind blade was extremely fast, and before the monster's claws landed, it had already cut into its body.
The monster's scales were ripped by the wind blade, and black blood flowed out. It roared angrily and attacked even more frantically.
Another monster joined the fight, waving its claws and lunging at Xinyang. Xinyang nimbly dodged the monster's attacks while swinging his sword repeatedly to fight back.
Seeing this, the others also took action, but at this moment, the monster that was leading the group appeared beside them, emitting a strong sense of oppression.
"Don't make trouble!" The leading monster's deep, hoarse voice echoed through the canyon, carrying an undeniable majesty. Its eyes swept over the people around it, as if warning them not to act rashly.
"This kid actually dared to challenge me alone. He must be prepared accordingly." The leading monster continued, his tone full of disdain and contempt.
Hearing this, everyone was furious. Yidou couldn't help but shout, "Who do you think you are? I'm not afraid of you!"
"That's right! It's all of us who are going to defeat you!" Walnut echoed.
