Chapter 283: Danger lurks on every side! A fierce battle in the ruins
The moment the ruins were opened, an ancient and mysterious atmosphere came over them. The powerful spiritual power fluctuations contained in it made Yun Yao, Chu Mochen and others wary. Everyone stepped into the ruins carefully, only to see a faint mist all around, which hindered their vision to a certain extent. The road under their feet was rugged and uneven, faintly exuding an old atmosphere, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.
Not long after they walked forward, they heard low roars coming from the front. The sound was getting closer and closer, shaking the ground slightly. Yun Yao's eyes were stern, and she whispered to Chu Mochen beside her: "It seems there is trouble." Chu Mochen nodded slightly, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, and the sword body faintly had spiritual power flowing, emitting bursts of coldness.
A moment later, a group of monsters appeared in their sight. These monsters were huge in size and in various shapes. Some were shaped like giant bears, covered with sharp thorns, leaving deep footprints on the ground with every step; some were like giant pythons, with winding bodies, spitting out tongues from their mouths, making hissing sounds, and revealing fierce light in their red eyes; and some were like winged wolves, circling in the air, flapping their wings to bring about gusts of wind, and their sharp claws flashing cold light in the sun.
Yun Yao took a deep breath and quickly scanned the surrounding environment. She found that they were in a relatively open area, but there were some huge rocks and broken walls around them, which might be used as a defensive barrier. She shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't panic, form a defensive formation!" After that, she took the lead in casting a spiritual power shield, covering herself and several disciples around her.
Chu Mochen flashed and rushed towards the monsters like a black lightning. He swung the long sword in his hand, bringing up a sharp sword energy, and instantly slashed at a giant bear monster that pounced on him. The giant bear monster felt threatened, raised its bear paw and slapped it hard, colliding with Chu Mochen's sword energy, making a dull loud noise, and the powerful impact swept up the surrounding sand and stones.
The other disciples also reacted and cast spells. For a moment, various spells such as fireballs, ice arrows, and wind blades intertwined and attacked the monsters. However, these monsters had thick skin and flesh, and ordinary spell attacks caused limited damage to them, only slightly hindering their forward speed.
Yun Yao maintained her spiritual shield while observing the movements of the monsters. She found that although the monsters seemed to attack in a disorderly manner, they actually seemed to be coordinated. The winged wolf monsters in the air would swoop down on them from time to time to disrupt their attack rhythm, while the giant bears and python monsters on the ground took the opportunity to launch a more fierce attack.
"We can't just passively take a beating like this!" Yun Yao thought to herself. She turned to look at Chu Mochen and shouted, "Brother Chu, let's focus on attacking their weaknesses!" As she spoke, she locked her eyes on the seven-inch position of a python monster, which was the python's weak spot. Yun Yao mobilized her spiritual power, quickly formed seals with her hands, and muttered something. After a moment, a purple lightning shot out from her hands and went straight to the seven-inch position of the python monster.
At the same time, Chu Mochen also got rid of the entanglement with the giant bear monster. He turned his body, tapped the ground with his toes, jumped up, raised the long sword in his hand high, gathered all his spiritual power, and chopped it down fiercely on the head of the python monster. The two attacks hit almost at the same time, and the python monster let out a painful hiss, and its huge body rolled on the ground a few times before it stopped moving.
The other disciples were greatly encouraged by seeing Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's successful attacks. They followed suit and began to look for weaknesses in their respective targets, and then concentrated their firepower to attack. With the joint efforts of everyone, the offensive momentum of the monster group was finally temporarily curbed.
However, these monsters did not retreat. They seemed to be enraged and attacked more frantically. A winged wolf monster took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, broke through the defense circle, and pounced on a young disciple. Yun Yao was quick-witted and moved in front of the disciple in an instant. The spiritual power in her hands surged, forming a barrier to block the attack of the winged wolf monster. But she also took a few steps back because of this sudden attack, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Senior Sister Yun!" the disciple exclaimed.
"I'm fine, everyone be careful!" Yun Yao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes becoming more determined.
When Chu Mochen saw Yun Yao injured, his heart tightened. He roared, and the spiritual power on his body burst out, forming a layer of black spiritual armor, and his momentum instantly rose to a new height. He rushed into the group of monsters like a cannonball, waving the long sword in his hand tightly, and the monsters fell to the ground one after another wherever he went.
Yun Yao also adjusted her state, and she once again cast a powerful attack spell - Fire Explosion. She quickly waved her hands in the air, drawing a complex rune pattern, and then shouted: "Fire Explosion!" In an instant, a huge fireball exploded in the group of monsters, and the blazing flames instantly engulfed several monsters around them, burning them to ashes.
Under the leadership of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, the disciples gradually found a way to deal with the monsters. They cooperated with each other, some were responsible for defense, some were responsible for attack, and some used spells to interfere with the actions of the monsters. After a fierce battle, the number of monsters gradually decreased, and their attacks became increasingly weak.
Finally, with the fall of the last monster, this thrilling battle finally came to an end. Yun Yao, Chu Mochen and others sat on the ground exhausted, with wounds on their bodies and their spiritual power almost exhausted. But their eyes revealed a sense of joy and pride of victory.
"We succeeded..." a disciple said weakly.
Yun Yao smiled slightly and said, "Yes, we succeeded. But this is only the first level of the ruins. We don't know what dangers are waiting for us. Let's take a rest and recover our spiritual power."
Everyone nodded and began to take the pills and practiced to restore their spiritual power. Yun Yao looked at the mess in front of her and thought to herself: What is the secret in this relic? Can they successfully find a way to solve the crisis in the cultivation world? Everything is still unknown...
