Chapter 134 Demon Dog
Chapter 134 Demon Dog
Sure enough, they had barely stepped into the valley when a group of ghostly, elusive black shadows surged towards them like a tidal wave, launching a fierce attack.
Faced with such a sudden crisis, everyone did not panic, but quickly united to deal with it together.
As Huan Yuechu moved her hands, powerful streams of spiritual energy surged forth, forming a solid defensive line that temporarily blocked the attacks of the dark figures.
At the same time, Xu Yan and Mu Yang stood in front of Xiao Bao and Wen Xingyu respectively to protect them from harm.
However, just as the battle was at a stalemate, another unexpected event occurred!
With a loud "crack," the solid ground beneath their feet suddenly and without warning split open into a huge, bottomless crack.
Wen Xingyu lost her balance in an instant and fell straight down into the crack.
Xiao Bao was so frightened by the scene before him that he burst into tears. He instinctively reached out his little hand to grab Wen Xingyu, but unfortunately the distance between them was too far and he couldn't reach her at all.
In the blink of an eye, at this critical juncture, the old man who had been closely watching the battle unhesitatingly threw out an incredibly tough green vine.
The vines darted through the air like serpents, accurately wrapping around Wen Xingyu's arm as it was about to disappear into the darkness, and with the old man's profound skill, he pulled her back from the brink of death.
The group cautiously continued deeper into the area, when suddenly, an ancient and magnificent palace appeared before them.
The palace looked ancient, with mottled walls and an eerie, sinister aura.
Clearly, they are getting closer and closer to the truth.
Just then, thick black smoke began to fill the surroundings, as thick as ink, making it almost impossible to see the road ahead.
Within the pitch-black smoke, one could vaguely see pairs of eyes gleaming with a blood-red light, secretly watching the crowd.
A tense atmosphere instantly filled the air, and a thrilling battle was about to break out.
Faced with such a perilous situation, no one dared to be careless. They quickly formed a tight circle back to back, each holding a weapon, ready for battle.
Standing in the crowd, Huan Yuechu's hands shimmered with a lively light, ready to unleash her most powerful spiritual attack at the crucial moment.
Xu Yan, standing to the side, gripped her weapon tightly, her gaze firm and cold.
He lowered his voice and whispered to Mu Yang beside him, "Make sure to keep a close eye on Xiao Bao!"
Mu Yang nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood the importance of the task.
As time passed, the red eyes hidden in the darkness drew closer and finally revealed their true forms.
It turns out that the owner of these red-eyed creatures was a pack of enormous demonic dogs, their bodies billowing with black smoke.
They bared their fangs and claws, their sharp teeth gleaming, and roared incessantly as they charged menacingly at the group.
However, the group was not intimidated by the sudden attack.
Undeterred, they charged forward and engaged in a fierce battle with the pack of ferocious demon dogs.
In the blink of an eye, Wen Xingyu swiftly drew her right hand from her waist, and a long black whip gleaming with a cold light instantly appeared in her hand.
The whip danced like a serpent, drawing sharp arcs in the air.
Immediately afterwards, a few crisp and loud cracking sounds of whips suddenly rang out, as if they were about to tear the entire space apart.
With these loud bangs, thick layers of dust rose from the ground, spreading like smoke and mist.
The demon dogs that had been charging aggressively at the front were startled by the sudden sound of the whip and involuntarily stopped in their tracks.
They stared in terror at the whip that Wen Xingyu was constantly waving, a hint of fear in their eyes.
However, after only a moment's hesitation, these ferocious demon dogs bared their teeth and pounced on Wen Xingyu again.
At the same time, the experienced and serious-looking old man appeared solemn.
His weathered hands moved with lightning speed, forming a series of complex and mysterious hand seals.
As he muttered obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations, his voice seemed to come from an ancient call, carrying a chilling power.
In an instant, a dazzling and intense light suddenly shone, like lightning piercing the night sky.
With lightning speed, it shot straight into the center of the pack of ferocious, baring-toothed demon dogs.
The power of this beam of light was astonishing; its dazzling brilliance illuminated the entire dark space, making it almost impossible to look directly at.
A deafening roar followed, and the pack of demon hounds struck by the intense light seemed to be hit by a massive shockwave. They howled in pain, their bodies trembling uncontrollably as they staggered backward.
For a moment, the ferocious attack of the demon hounds, which had been aggressive and vicious, was temporarily suppressed by this unexpected blow.
However, before people could even breathe a sigh of relief, more demon hounds surged in from all directions.
They bared their teeth, their eyes flashing with a ferocious red light, as if they wouldn't stop until they tore their enemies to pieces.
At this critical moment, Xiao Bao, who had been quietly staying in Mu Yang's arms, suddenly broke free without warning.
The small figure shot off like an arrow, rushing headlong into the depths of the palace without hesitation. "Xiao Bao!"
Upon seeing this, everyone gasped in surprise, their hearts filled with shock.
Huan Yuechu didn't have time to think much before she bravely followed in Xiao Bao's footsteps.
The two of them, one after the other, quickly disappeared into the deep palace passageway.
When they finally entered the palace, they found that Xiao Bao had inexplicably stopped in front of a tall statue.
Upon closer inspection, the statue was so lifelike that it looked exactly like Xiaobao's mother.
Xiao Bao stared blankly at the statue, gently stroking its cold surface with her little hands, muttering words that no one else could understand.
At this moment, the ferocious demon dogs seemed to be deterred by some unknown force, and they all stopped their pursuit and slowly retreated.
Seeing this scene, Huan Yuechu, who was standing to the side, felt a sudden tightness in her heart, and an ominous premonition welled up in her mind.
She instantly became alert, gripping the hilt of her sword tightly with her right hand, her eyes sharp as she scanned her surroundings, ready to guard against any potential danger.
