Beautiful girl travels through time and space to become a princess

Chapter 144 Phantom Mountain

When Shen Mo and others successfully escaped from that thrilling space and were able to catch their breath in the quiet valley, Lin Yuwei gently held the newly acquired fragments of time, her eyes full of longing and determination.

"We are one step closer to collecting all the fragments of time. As long as we can find the last piece, all the efforts will be worth it." Lin Yuwei's voice was soft but powerful.

Everyone sat together. Ye Lan looked into the distance and said slowly, "Do you remember? The previous clues showed that the last piece of time fragment was in the mysterious Phantom Mountain. But that place, just hearing about it makes people feel that it is full of dangers."

Feng Yu nodded slightly, his eyes full of contemplation: "Yes, Phantom Mountain is not only dangerous, but it is also said to have powerful magical restrictions and various unknown dangers. But this is a challenge we cannot avoid."

Alex tightly grasped the axe in his hand, veins popping out on his thick arms: "Humph, so what if it's dangerous? Along the way, when have we not fought our way out of difficult situations?"

Shen Mo coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention: "Before we set off, we can't be blindly impulsive. Everyone should rest well, check the equipment, and replenish supplies. I will plan the route and possible situations and coping methods."

Everyone nodded and started to get busy.

Lin Yuwei carefully arranged the herbs and healing instruments to ensure that they could be used at the critical moment. Ye Lan carefully wiped the spear and checked whether each component was firm. Feng Yu calmed down and felt the fluctuations of the surrounding elements, trying to predict possible magical anomalies in advance. Alex sharpened the giant axe, and the shining axe blade seemed to be eager for battle.

After two days of thorough preparation, they finally embarked on the arduous journey to Phantom Mountain.

Along the way, the scenery is picturesque but fraught with danger. At first, they passed through a lush forest, where tall trees blocked out the sun, and the sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light. Birds sang on the branches, and small animals shuttled through the grass. However, the seemingly peaceful forest hides countless traps. There are poisonous snakes hiding on the branches, which may launch a fatal attack if you are not careful; the seemingly solid land on the ground may turn into a swamp that swallows people in the next second.

"Everyone, be careful with your steps and pay attention to the movements around you." Shen Mo led the way cautiously, keeping the sword in his hand always on alert.

Lin Yuwei followed closely behind, holding a wooden stick in her hand, knocking on the ground from time to time to detect whether there were any traps.

Ye Lan was alert to the branches above his head to prevent attacks from snakes.

Feng Yu uses the power of elements to sense the breath of life around him and warn everyone in advance.

Alex walked at the end, using his tall body to cover the team.

After finally walking out of the forest, they were greeted by a vast expanse of desert. The scorching sun mercilessly burned the earth, and the sand was so hot that it almost burned the soles of the feet. The strong winds often blew up dust all over the sky, making it impossible to open your eyes.

"Drink water sparingly. We don't know how long we will have to walk in this desert." Shen Mo licked his cracked lips and reminded everyone.

Lin Yuwei covered her mouth and nose with a silk scarf and took difficult steps.

Ye Lan's spear left a long trail on the sand.

Fengyu tried hard to control the elements, trying to bring a little coolness to everyone.

Alex's steps became heavy, but he still walked forward firmly.

After several days of arduous journey, they finally arrived at the foot of Phantom Mountain. The scene before them made them gasp for air. The whole mountain was covered by a thick fog, which seemed to have life and flowed slowly, making it impossible to see the real situation on the mountain.

"Everyone be careful, this fog is probably not simple and may hide various dangers." Shen Mo said cautiously.

Feng Yu walked forward, closed his eyes, and felt it for a while: "This mist seems to contain some kind of magical power, which may affect our senses and minds."

Shen Mo took out the herbs he had prepared in advance from his backpack: "Put these herbs in your mouth to reduce the impact of the fog."

Everyone did as they were told and walked carefully into the fog.

As soon as they entered, they heard a strange sound that was vague and seemed like countless souls whispering in pain, or like the whisper of a devil, which was creepy.

"What's that sound? It makes me panic." Alex couldn't help but say.

Lin Yuwei's face turned pale and she covered her ears tightly with her hands: "I feel like this voice is trying to control our minds."

Shen Mo shouted loudly: "Everyone, concentrate, stick to your original intention, and don't be confused by this voice!"

They continued to move forward with difficulty, being cautious with every step.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, and huge stone beasts emerged from the ground. These stone beasts were huge, hard as iron, and their eyes flashed with ferocious light.

"Get ready for battle!" Ye Lan shouted, thrusting his spear towards a stone beast.

Shen Mo did not retreat either. He swung the sword in his hand tightly and engaged in a fierce fight with the stone beast.

The stone beast's attack power was extremely strong. With a flick of its tail, it knocked Alex several meters away.

"Alex, are you okay?" Lin Yuwei shouted anxiously.

Alex got up from the ground and spat out the sand in his mouth: "I'm fine, keep fighting!"

Feng Yu cast a powerful magic, and lines of elemental force wrapped around the stone beasts, restricting their movements.

Lin Yuwei continued to cast healing spells on her injured companions in the rear so that they could maintain their combat effectiveness.

After a thrilling and bitter battle, all the stone beasts were finally defeated.

"Is everyone okay?" Shen Mo asked breathlessly.

"We can still hold on, keep moving forward!" Ye Lan responded.

They continued to walk up the mountain. The fog became thicker and thicker, and the power of the magical restriction became stronger and stronger, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

"The magical restrictions here make me feel very depressed, as if all my powers are sealed." Feng Yu frowned.

Shen Mo encouraged everyone: "No matter what, we can't give up. Persistence is victory."

At this moment, a huge and ancient stone door appeared in front of them. The door was engraved with mysterious and complex runes and flashed with strange light.

"This stone gate may be the key to the last fragment of time." Ye Lan said.

Feng Yu walked forward and began to study the runes on the door with full concentration, trying to find a way to open the stone door...
