Chapter 94 The Trail of Other Spirit Orbs
These monsters looked like fish but weren't quite the same. Their bodies were covered in hard scales, and their mouths were wide open, big enough to swallow a person whole. Their sharp teeth gleamed coldly as they pounced straight at Huan Yuechu and Xingyu.
While everyone was still stunned by the sudden appearance of the monster, Xu Yan was the first to come to her senses.
His eyes were sharp, and without hesitation, he drew the extremely sharp sword from his waist.
The sword gleamed with a cold, icy light, as if it had locked onto the enemy in that instant.
"Die!" Xu Yan roared, and rushed towards the nearest monster like an arrow.
His sword drew a gleaming arc through the air, whistling as it pierced the monster.
However, this monster was clearly no ordinary creature.
Its body was exceptionally agile; with a slight turn of its body, it easily dodged Xu Yan's fatal blow.
Not only that, while dodging, the monster also swung its huge fish tail violently, creating a gust of wind that swept straight towards Yu Di, who was standing not far away.
In the blink of an eye, Huan Yue, who had been intently observing the battle, saw this and immediately began to rapidly form hand seals.
As he chanted incantations, streams of mysterious and powerful spiritual energy surged from her fingertips, rushing straight towards the sweeping fish tail like lightning.
With a loud "bang," the light and the fish tail collided violently.
The originally aggressive fishtail attack suddenly slowed down and was forcefully blocked in mid-air.
Meanwhile, Wen Xingyu was not idle either.
She quickly and continuously channeled her supernatural energy into an ordinary tree branch she was holding.
In an instant, the seemingly fragile branch underwent an astonishing transformation—it instantly became as hard as iron under the infusion of spiritual power, emanating a chilling aura.
Wen Xingyu gripped the tree branch, which had undergone a complete transformation, tightly, and then swung it fiercely with all her might.
The tree branch, carrying immense force, whistled as it crashed down on another monster that was about to pounce.
With a sharp "crack," the monster's head was struck hard by a tree branch.
Suffering such a heavy blow, the monster couldn't help but let out a painful howl, then flipped over and dived into the water, disappearing without a trace.
However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.
More monsters surged in from all directions like a tidal wave. They bared their teeth and claws, their faces were ferocious, and they roared. The roars seemed to penetrate one's soul, sending chills down one's spine.
Faced with this sudden crisis, Huan Yuechu remained calm and composed, a chilling glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She quickly reached into her bosom and pulled out a mysterious talisman.
Immediately afterwards, she threw the talisman into the air without hesitation.
In an instant, the talisman seemed to come alive, spinning rapidly in the air and bursting into dazzling flames.
Then, the talisman transformed into a blazing flame and plunged straight into the lake.
As the flames fell into the lake, a hissing sound was heard, and the calm lake surface instantly boiled.
The lake water churned, surging up huge waves, steaming hot, and filled with mist.
The monsters near the lake were caught off guard and were scorched by the sudden high temperature, screaming and fleeing in all directions.
Just when everyone thought the crisis was temporarily over, another unexpected event occurred.
It turns out that while most monsters fled in fear of the high temperature, a cunning monster took the opportunity to sneak up next to the lotus leaf.
It suddenly opened its blood-red maw and bit down hard on the edge of the lotus leaf.
Because of the monster's immense strength, the lotus leaf began to shake violently, and it looked as if it was about to collapse under the pressure.
At the critical moment, Xu Yan, who had been closely monitoring the situation, reacted swiftly and decisively.
He flashed forward, approaching the monster like a ghost, and with a swift movement, pierced its eye with his longsword.
The monster, in pain, finally released its grip, and its massive body tumbled into the lake, splashing water everywhere.
After this thrilling battle, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken.
Not daring to delay any longer, they hurriedly rowed the small boat and sped towards the island in the middle of the lake.
As the small boat approached the island in the middle of the lake, they noticed a spot on the island that was emitting a strange blue light.
Following the blue light, one could see a spiritual pearl emitting a faint blue glow, quietly floating in the air, like the most dazzling star in the night sky.
That spirit pearl seemed to possess some kind of magical power, drawing people involuntarily closer to it, as if it were waiting for their arrival...
Xu Yan was the first to step onto the island in the middle of the lake, and carefully walked towards the spirit pearl.
The two men behind him exchanged a glance and followed.
When they were only a few steps away from the Spirit Pearl, the surrounding air suddenly became viscous, making each step forward extremely difficult.
But their eyes were full of determination as they fought against this resistance.
Finally, Xu Yan reached out and touched the spirit pearl.
In an instant, a strong blue light enveloped the three of them.
After the light faded, they found themselves in an unfamiliar space, surrounded by clouds and mist, with a transparent glass floor beneath their feet, and what appeared to be a flowing galaxy below.
Just then, a clear and melodious voice, like heavenly music, suddenly rang out, "Congratulations on successfully passing this difficult test."
"This spirit pearl, radiating a mysterious light, is a divine artifact left over from ancient times! It possesses incredibly magical power and can help its holder realize the deepest desire in their heart."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yan, who was standing to the side, did not show much surprise on her face. Instead, she maintained her humble yet confident demeanor and calmly spoke.
"In that case, my wish is to heal my companion beside me."
His gaze fell gently yet firmly on Huan Yuechu beside him.
However, the ethereal voice sighed softly and slowly replied, "Alas... it's a pity that her injuries are too severe. Even this incomparably precious spiritual pearl can only temporarily suppress the injuries and cannot completely heal them."
"To completely cure this, we need to gather three more spirit pearls that also contain powerful spiritual energy."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yan frowned slightly and pressed for an answer, "Then may I ask, where are the other three spirit orbs located? And how do we find them?"
At this moment, his heart was filled with anxiety and worry, but at the same time, a strong determination was ignited within him.
No matter how rugged and dangerous the road ahead may be, we must find those missing spirit orbs and save our companions from danger.
The ethereal voice slowly replied, "Eastern Wood Warehouse Forest, Western Crossing Sea, Northern Xuanming Ice Peak. However, this journey is fraught with danger, so you must be prepared."
