Chapter 377: A New Journey Begins Again
After Liu Yu and the others lifted the curse on the village, they enjoyed a good rest thanks to the villagers' warm hospitality. However, before they could savor the peace for long, new troubles came knocking.
One morning, when Liu Yu woke up, he found a group of mysterious people gathered outside the village. They were dressed in black robes, their faces obscured by shadows, making it impossible to see their expressions. The black robes fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound, giving people a sinister and oppressive feeling.
A sense of unease crept into Liu Yu's heart. He woke the others, and together they headed out of the village. With each step, Liu Yu felt an invisible pressure, as if unseen eyes were watching them from the shadows.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Liu Yu asked loudly. His voice was particularly loud in the quiet morning, but it was quickly swallowed up by the surrounding tranquility.
The leader, a man in black robes, slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of cold, sinister eyes. Those eyes were like bottomless, icy pools, sending chills down one's spine. "You took what you shouldn't have taken. Hand over the jewels." His voice was hoarse and deep, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Liu Yu frowned, his gaze resolute, and said, "This gem is meant to break the curse; I can't give it to you." He gripped his weapon tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
The man in black robes sneered, his laughter echoing in the air, filled with mockery and disdain. "Then don't blame us for being impolite." With that, he waved his hand, and the men in black robes behind him rushed forward. Their movements were perfectly synchronized, like a well-trained army.
Liu Yu and the others immediately unleashed their magic, engaging in a fierce battle with the black-robed figures. Light flashed, spells intertwined, and the scene was chaotic and intense. The black-robed figures were not to be underestimated; their magic was bizarre and powerful, each attack carrying a deadly threat.
Pigsy was surrounded and attacked by several men in black robes. His round, plump body stood out conspicuously in the crowd. He brandished his nine-toothed rake, roaring loudly as he fought back fiercely against the enemy's attacks. However, the attacks from the men in black robes were relentless and like a tidal wave, and he gradually became unable to defend himself, sustaining several wounds. Blood stained his clothes, but his eyes remained resolute.
"I, Old Pig, will not easily admit defeat!" Pigsy roared, his voice filled with anger and defiance. Each swing of his nine-toothed rake carried a powerful force, attempting to repel the enemy.
Xiaoqing's bells played a significant role in the battle. She nimbly weaved among the enemies, the bells emitting streaks of purple light, repelling many of the black-robed figures. However, she was also exhausted, panting heavily, her forehead covered in sweat, and her face slightly pale.
Although Bai Suzhen's magic was powerful, she was finding it somewhat inadequate against the combined attack of numerous men in black robes. Her magical light gradually dimmed under the enemy's suppression, but she gritted her teeth and persisted in the fight.
Liu Yu was extremely anxious. He fought while simultaneously racking his brains for a solution. His eyes rapidly scanned the battlefield, trying to find an opening in the enemy's defenses. Suddenly, he noticed that the attacks of these black-robed figures seemed to follow a certain pattern. Although their movements were swift, there was a slight pause before each attack.
"Everyone, pay attention to their movements and find their weaknesses!" Liu Yu shouted loudly, his voice filled with urgency and anticipation.
Upon hearing this, everyone began to carefully observe the black-robed men's attacks. After some observation, they finally discovered their weakness. It turned out that whenever the black-robed men were about to launch a powerful attack, a faint light would flicker beneath their feet.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Yu and his group launched a counterattack, gradually turning the tide of the battle. Their attacks accurately struck the black-robed men's weaknesses, causing them to begin a steady retreat.
Just when they thought victory was imminent, the leader in black robes suddenly produced a black crystal ball. The crystal ball shimmered with an eerie light, the light resembling countless writhing black snakes, inspiring fear in all who beheld it.
"Something's wrong! There's something strange about this thing!" Liu Yu shouted, his voice filled with vigilance.
The crystal ball released a powerful dark force, enveloping Liu Yu and the others. They instantly felt their bodies become heavy, as if weighed down by an invisible mountain. Their magic could no longer be used smoothly; each attempt felt like struggling in quagmire.
"What kind of evil magic is this?" Xiaoqing asked through gritted teeth, a pained expression on her face.
Liu Yu struggled against the dark force, saying, "Don't give up, everyone. There must be a way to break this." Veins bulged on his forehead, and sweat poured down his face.
Just then, the mysterious woman appeared. She held a radiant staff in her hand and chanted incantations. With her incantation, a pure and powerful beam of light shot towards the crystal ball.
The crystal ball's light dimmed instantly, and the pressure on Liu Yu and the others lessened considerably. They felt their strength gradually returning, and their magic began to flow again.
"Take advantage of this moment and finish them off!" the mysterious woman shouted, her voice clear and firm.
Liu Yu and the others rallied and unleashed their strongest spells. The intertwined lights formed a powerful force that utterly defeated the black-robed figures. They collapsed to the ground, turning into wisps of black smoke and vanishing without a trace.
"Thank you for your help, young lady," Liu Yu said gratefully, his eyes filled with sincerity.
The mysterious woman said, "These people are henchmen of the dark forces. They have been searching for the gemstone, attempting to use its power for evil purposes." Her expression was solemn, and her eyes revealed deep worry.
Liu Yu said, "It seems our troubles aren't over yet." His expression was serious, and he was already prepared to face more challenges.
The mysterious woman nodded: "That's right, the dark forces won't let this go. You need to be careful." Her gaze lingered on Liu Yu and the others for a moment before she turned and left.
The group returned to the village and began discussing their next move. The atmosphere in the village became heavy and tense; everyone knew they were about to face even greater danger.
"We can't stay here forever. We must take the initiative and completely eliminate the dark forces," Liu Yu said, his voice firm and powerful, as if instilling courage and confidence in everyone.
Everyone agreed. Their eyes burned with fighting spirit, showing no sign of retreat or fear.
So they embarked on their journey once more. Along the way, they encountered all sorts of hardships and dangers. The road was rugged and uneven, overgrown with thorns, and every step forward required tremendous effort.
Once, they entered a misty forest. A thick fog filled the forest, making it impossible to discern directions. The fog, like a white veil, flowed slowly, enveloping everything within it.
"The fog is too thick; we could easily get lost," Pigsy said worriedly, his voice sounding somewhat muffled in the fog.
Liu Yu took out a compass and said, "Everyone, follow me and don't get separated." His voice was calm and steady, giving people a sense of reassurance.
However, just as they were proceeding cautiously, a terrifying roar suddenly echoed from the forest. The sound seemed to come from an ancient behemoth, filled with anger and threat.
"What is it?" Xiaoqing asked nervously, her hand unconsciously tightening its grip on the bell.
Liu Yu looked around warily: "I don't know, but they're definitely not good people." His eyes were sharp as he tried to see through the fog to find the source of the voice.
As soon as the words were spoken, a gigantic monster burst forth from the mist. The monster was enormous, like a small mountain. Its skin was rough and hard, as if covered by a thick layer of armor. It possessed sharp claws and fangs, each gleaming with a cold light, and looked extremely ferocious.
Undeterred, Liu Yu and his companions engaged in a fierce battle with the monster. Their magical light flickered in the mist, mingling with the monster's roars.
The monster's attacks were incredibly ferocious; each swing of its claws carried immense power, easily destroying trees and rocks. Liu Yu and the others struggled greatly before finally subduing it.
After several days of travel, they arrived at a mysterious castle. The castle soared into the clouds, its walls built of massive black stones, exuding an eerie atmosphere. A layer of black mist surrounded it, as if it were the castle's guardian.
“This castle looks dangerous,” Pigsy said, his voice tinged with hesitation.
Liu Yu said, "No matter what, we have to go in and find out." His eyes were firm, without the slightest hesitation.
As the group entered the castle, a pungent odor filled the air. It smelled like a mixture of rotting corpses and old blood, making them want to vomit. The castle was riddled with traps and mechanisms; a single misstep could plunge them into danger.
Liu Yu and the others proceeded cautiously when suddenly, a huge trap appeared on the ground. Before they could react, they all fell in.
The trap was filled with sharp spikes that gleamed coldly. Falling into one would have dire consequences.
"Everyone be careful!" Liu Yu shouted, his voice echoing through the trap.
Bai Suzhen used her magic to slowly lift everyone up. The light from her magic illuminated the trap, allowing them to see their surroundings.
Just as they were about to climb out of the trap, a group of Dark Guardians appeared above it and began firing arrows at them. The rain of arrows was dense and swift, leaving no room for escape.
While dodging the rain of arrows, Liu Yu and the others tried to find a way to deal with it. Their movements were agile and swift, demonstrating their tenacious fighting spirit.
In this tense moment, Xiao Tian, wearing green shorts, suddenly rushed out, attracting the attention of the Dark Guardians. It nimbly dodged the attacks, buying time for Liu Yu and the others.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Yu and the others climbed out of the trap and engaged in a fierce battle with the Dark Guardians. Their figures moved swiftly through the castle, their magical light illuminating every corner.
After a fierce battle, they finally defeated all the Dark Guards. Many unknown dangers still awaited them within the castle, but Liu Yu and his companions did not retreat and continued their advance…
