Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

Chapter 204 Crisis in the Secret Realm

Xiao Muchen and his companions had just entered this mysterious secret realm when they encountered a gigantic monster. This monster was as big as a mountain, covered with hard scales, and exuded a terrifying aura.

Xiao Muchen shouted, "Everyone be careful!" His voice was like a loud bell, echoing in this silent and gloomy secret realm, instantly lifting everyone's spirits.

Lin Wan'er reacted quickly, her figure flashed like a ghost, and she jumped to the side in an instant. A trace of determination flashed in her beautiful eyes, and the long sword in her hand flashed a cold light in the darkness. She shook her wrist, and a sharp sword energy whistled out, heading straight for the demon beast. Wherever the sword energy went, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp cry.

Ling Shuang was not to be outdone. He thrust out both palms, and a mighty fighting spirit gushed out from his palms like a surging wave. The fighting spirit turned into a substantial force and rushed straight to the belly of the monster, bringing up a gust of wind. The surrounding dust was instantly blown up by this powerful force.

Ye Feng was not afraid at all. The weapon in his hand shone brightly, like a shining star. He moved like lightning, and attacked the beast's legs at lightning speed. His movements were agile and decisive, and every attack contained his determination to fight to the death and his fearless courage.

The monster was enraged by their attack, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a roar that shook the earth. The sound seemed to be a roar from hell, which could penetrate people's souls and make people tremble with fear. Then, a stream of black flames spewed out of its mouth. The flames were so hot that they seemed to turn everything into ashes. Wherever it went, rocks melted instantly and grass and trees turned into ashes in an instant.

Xiao Muchen was quick-witted and drew out the Star Sword in an instant. The Star Sword flashed with a mysterious light in his hand, as if it was connected to his mind. He waved the Star Sword and instantly erected a solid Dou Qi shield. The shield shone brightly, like a bright full moon, protecting everyone inside. The black flames hit the shield, making a crackling sound, and sparks flew like gorgeous fireworks. But Xiao Muchen gritted his teeth, held the Star Sword tightly with both hands, and swung it with all his strength to maintain the stability of the shield and prevent the scorching flames from hurting everyone.

"This monster is very powerful, we can't take it lightly!" Xiao Muchen shouted loudly. Fine beads of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead and slid down his cheeks, but his eyes were still as firm as a rock, revealing his determination not to retreat.

Everyone nodded, their eyes met, conveying a firm belief and tacit understanding. They worked more closely together, with a tacit understanding, forming an indestructible fighting group.

Lin Wan'er's swordsmanship became more and more fierce, and her posture was agile, like a fairy dancing in the wind. Each sword thrust was at a subtle angle and with a swift speed, accurately stabbing the vital parts of the monster. Her movements were graceful and deadly, and every sword thrust was carried with the belief that it would kill. The monster tried to fight back with its huge claws, but Lin Wan'er could always cleverly avoid it with her extraordinary body movements, and then attack again without hesitation, not giving the monster any chance to breathe.

Ling Shuang's palm technique was fierce and powerful. Every time he slapped his palms, there was a deafening roar. His fighting spirit continuously attacked the monster, like waves, constantly consuming the monster's strength. The monster's body trembled under his powerful attack, and tiny cracks appeared on its hard scales, but it still resisted stubbornly and refused to fall easily.

Ye Feng, with his cat-like agility, swam quickly around the monster. He was like a ghost, making it difficult for the monster to figure out his whereabouts. Whenever the monster showed a flaw, he would instantly launch a fatal attack, causing damage to the monster again and again.

While Xiao Muchen used the Star Sword to resist the monster's crazy attack, he keenly observed its every move, looking for the perfect opportunity to give it a fatal blow. His eyes were like torches, not missing any subtle movements and changes in the monster's expression.

After a thrilling and fierce fight, the monster gradually lost its strength and its movements became slow, no longer as fierce and ferocious as at the beginning. Its heavy breathing was particularly clear in the silent secret realm, and the fierce light in its eyes began to dim.

"Now!" Xiao Muchen saw the right moment and shouted. He suddenly jumped up, his figure like an eagle spreading its wings and flying high. He held the Star Sword in his hand, and his whole body exuded an unparalleled momentum, as if he had merged with the Star Sword. At this moment, the Star Sword burst out with unprecedented powerful force, and the light was so dazzling that people could not look directly at it. Xiao Muchen stabbed fiercely at the head of the monster, and the sword was as swift and unstoppable as a meteor falling to the ground.

A shrill scream resounded throughout the secret realm, and the monster's head was accurately hit by the Star Sword. The huge impact made the monster unable to bear it any longer, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust that covered the sky.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies were soaked with sweat, as if they had just been pulled out of the water, their breathing was rapid and heavy. But they all knew clearly that this was only the first challenge in the secret realm, and there were countless unknown dangers waiting for them ahead.

They rested for a while, adjusted their disordered breath and tired state, and then continued to move forward. The surrounding environment became more and more gloomy and terrifying, filled with a creepy and strange atmosphere. The ancient trees twisted their branches and had strange shapes, as if they were struggling in pain and telling unknown secrets. From time to time, the eerie sound of the wind came from the darkness, and the sound seemed to be the crying and whispering of countless resentful spirits, which made people's backs cold.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, as if a huge monster was rolling underground. Then, countless huge spikes suddenly emerged from the ground. Those spikes were extremely sharp, flashing with cold light, as if protesting to them.

Xiao Muchen and the others quickly used their skills to dodge, jumping as fast as lightning. "What the hell is this place!" Ye Feng couldn't help but curse, with a hint of anger and undisguised fear in his voice.

"Be careful and don't panic!" Xiao Muchen reminded everyone loudly. His eyes remained highly vigilant at all times, closely observing the changes in the surrounding environment. The Star Sword in his hand was always ready to deal with any sudden dangerous situation.

While dodging the spikes, they also had to be alert to other unknown dangers that might appear. At this moment, a group of black shadows pounced on them like ghosts from the darkness.

Lin Wan'er took a closer look and exclaimed, "It's a poisonous bat!" Her voice was full of tension and worry.

These poisonous bats are extremely fast, like black lightning darting through the darkness. When their wings flap, they make a sharp and piercing sound, which can make people dizzy and upset. Moreover, their teeth and claws are highly poisonous. Once bitten or scratched, the consequences are disastrous.

Xiao Muchen and the others did not dare to slack off and immediately fought hard. The light of Dou Qi flickered in the darkness, like stars. Xiao Muchen waved the Star Sword, and the sword shadows intertwined into an airtight light curtain, blocking the poisonous bats outside a certain range. Lin Wan'er's long sword danced like a blooming flower, and the sword shadows intertwined into a tight net to prevent the poisonous bats from approaching. Ling Shuang clapped his palms, and the powerful Dou Qi formed shock waves, which shook the approaching poisonous bats away. Ye Feng made full use of his flexible body movements, flexibly shuttled among the poisonous bats, avoided their attacks, and waited for an opportunity to counterattack.

After a hard and arduous battle, they finally succeeded in repelling the group of poisonous bats. But everyone was injured to varying degrees. Xiao Muchen's arm was scratched by a poisonous bat, and black blood flowed from the wound. He quickly circulated his fighting spirit to stop the spread of the poison. There was a shallow scratch on Lin Wan'er's cheek. Although the wound was not deep, it also added a bit of vicissitudes to her beautiful face. Ling Shuang's shoulder was bitten, and the blood stained his clothes red. Ye Feng's leg was also injured, and he walked with a limp.

"We should not stay here for long. Let's speed up and move forward." Xiao Muchen said. Although he was also injured, he still endured it and led the way to the depths of the secret realm with the Star Sword in hand.

They dragged their exhausted bodies and continued to explore this dangerous secret place. Every step was full of hardship and danger, but their eyes still burned with the fire of determination and perseverance, and they would not give up until they achieved their goal.

The road became narrower and narrower, and the stone walls on both sides kept dripping with icy water drops, as if this secret place was mercilessly mocking their predicament. The air was filled with a strong stench that made people sick.

Suddenly, a low and dull roar came from the front. Xiao Muchen and others stopped and looked ahead nervously and vigilantly.

"Everyone be careful, some magical beast may appear again." Xiao Muchen said softly, gripping the Star Sword tighter in his hand, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

Sure enough, a huge python-like monster slowly crawled out from the darkness. Its body was as thick as the trunk of a thousand-year-old tree, and its scales flickered with a strange light. Its eyes were like burning fireballs, full of evil and greed.

Xiao Muchen and the others took a deep breath, adjusted their states, and prepared for a fierce battle again...
