Chapter 302 Crystal 2
Lingyu strode forward with firm steps, continuing along the winding road. Before long, a vast city appeared before her. However, the city was shrouded in endless darkness, as if trapped in eternal night.
Stepping into the city, a thick, suffocating atmosphere of despair assaulted my senses. The buildings lining the streets were dilapidated, with ruins and rubble everywhere, seemingly telling tales of past tragedies. A howling wind whipped up clouds of dust, adding to the desolation and eeriness.
Just then, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness. It was a mysterious old man, dressed in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see his true features. The old man walked unsteadily to Ling Yu and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Young girl, this place is a stronghold of dark forces, extremely dangerous. But I can tell you, the source of this dark force lies hidden in the ancient ruins beneath the city." After speaking, the old man turned and left, disappearing into the vast night.
Lingyu watched the old man's departing figure, secretly resolving to uncover the truth behind this darkness. Without hesitation, she walked towards the entrance of the ruins. The moment she stepped inside, a series of eerie and terrifying sounds filled her ears, sending chills down her spine.
The passageway was filled with all sorts of dangerous traps and mechanisms: sharp spikes, raging flames, and an unfathomable depth. The atmosphere around it grew increasingly desolate and eerie, as if the entire world was shrouded in a thick layer of gloom. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a slight chill, rustling the fallen leaves on the ground, making a sound like the whispers of ghosts.
Just then, a dark figure slowly emerged from the endless darkness like a ghost. It was an extremely mysterious old man, dressed in a long black robe, the sleeves of which fluttered gently in the wind like the wings of a bat in the night. His face was completely hidden in the shadows, only a pair of eyes that shone with a faint light were visible, making it impossible for anyone to see his true appearance.
The old man walked with faltering steps, each one laborious, until he reached Ling Yu. Every step seemed to require immense effort, yet his movements remained strangely steady. Finally, he stopped before Ling Yu, then slightly raised his head and spoke in a deep, hoarse voice, like sandpaper scraping, "Young girl, this place is where dark forces have long entrenched themselves, fraught with danger and extreme peril. However… I can tell you that the root of this powerful dark force lies deep within the ancient ruins beneath this city." Having said this, the old man did not linger. He turned away, his black robe billowing like a dark cloud, and vanished into the boundless night in the blink of an eye, as if he had never been there.
Lingyu gazed silently in the direction the old man had gone until he disappeared from sight, and made a firm decision in her heart—no matter what difficulties and obstacles awaited her ahead, she must uncover the truth hidden behind the darkness! With that thought, she took a deep breath, resolutely took a step, and strode towards the entrance of the ruins without hesitation.
The moment she stepped into the ruins, a piercing gust of wind suddenly rang out, followed by a series of eerie and terrifying sounds. The sounds were sometimes like the wails of demons, sometimes like the screams of vengeful spirits, rising and falling incessantly. Ling Yu shuddered involuntarily, a chill instantly rising from her spine to the top of her head, sending shivers down her spine. However, she did not retreat, but gritted her teeth and continued resolutely deeper into the ruins. Traps and other dangers lurked within. A single misstep could mean certain death. But Ling Yu did not back down; she concentrated, carefully moving forward. Whenever she encountered difficulties, she skillfully used the castle magic she possessed to turn danger into safety.
Lingyu looked around warily, when suddenly she heard a melodious yet eerie flute melody. Following the sound, she saw a man in black robes sitting under a large tree, playing the flute. The man's face was hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see his features.
Lingyu questioned the black-robed man about whether he was a henchman of the dark forces, but the man merely sneered, and instantly, swarms of shadowy monsters appeared around them. Lingyu swiftly spread her wings, preparing for battle. This time, drawing on her experience from her previous battle against the magical beasts, she first attempted to use detection magic to understand the weaknesses of these shadowy monsters.
After some investigation, she discovered that these shadowy creatures feared pure holy power. So Lingyu transformed her magic into holy power, and with a wave of her hands, beams of holy light shot towards the shadowy creatures. The creatures dissipated upon contact with the holy power. The black-robed man was enraged and personally attacked Lingyu. Lingyu skillfully dodged, then, catching him off guard, struck the black-robed man with powerful holy power. The black-robed man fled wounded, and the forest regained some life. Lingyu once again set off into the distance.
