Chapter 81 Sense of Crisis
Chapter 81 Sense of Crisis
The earth shook violently, as if a giant beast was rolling underground, trying to break out.
The red lines in the sky became clearer and clearer, intertwining like blood vessels, pulsating with an eerie light.
Dark clouds gathered quickly, covering the sky and the sun, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
From time to time, dazzling lightning flashed through the darkness, making the blood-colored patterns even more terrifying.
A strong sense of oppression enveloped everyone, as if the end of the world had come.
Ding Chen clenched his fists, frowned, and was filled with worry.
Xiaoxuan snuggled up to him, her pale face full of fear.
General Lin drew his sword, pointed the tip at the sky, and shouted sternly: "You are playing tricks! I want to see what evil spirit is causing trouble!" Yingfeng looked around, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, trying to find the source of the strange phenomenon.
There was no trace of fear on his stern face, as if no danger could shake his heart.
Ah Hu had already collapsed to the ground in fear, muttering, "God's punishment! This is God's punishment!"
"We must find the source of the vision as soon as possible!" Ding Chen said in a deep voice, with unquestionable firmness in his tone.
"Go to the mountains! Only by standing high can you see far!" General Lin pointed to the towering mountains not far away and said firmly.
"No, we should look for clues around the village first," Yingfeng objected. "The previous dark warrior and the Sky Star Stone were both related to the village. This time, the strange phenomenon is likely related to this place as well."
"You have a woman's opinion! Time is running out, there is no time to waste on these details!" General Lin shouted angrily, the sword in his hand making a buzzing sound.
"General Lin, what Yingfeng said makes sense..." Ding Chen tried to mediate the conflict between the two.
"Brother Ding Chen, you don't need to say more. I have made up my mind!" General Lin was firm in his attitude and had no intention of giving in.
The two sides were on the verge of a fight and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
At this moment, Xiaoxuan's face suddenly changed, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she had thought of something...
Xiaoxuan's face suddenly changed, and she said tremblingly: "Wait! I remember... I once saw a similar record in an ancient book..." Everyone immediately turned their eyes to her, and the tense atmosphere eased.
Xiaoxuan took a deep breath and continued, "The book says that these blood-colored lines and earthquakes indicate that some powerful energy is about to awaken, and the source of this energy is in... Sunset Canyon!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Sunset Canyon is located deep in the mountains, with steep terrain and few people. How could it be connected with such a celestial phenomenon?
Although General Lin had doubts in his heart, Xiaoxuan's determined eyes made him choose to believe this intelligent woman.
Yingfeng also put aside his skeptical attitude and admired Xiaoxuan's erudition.
Ding Chen was even more confident in Xiaoxuan. He held Xiaoxuan's hand and gave her an encouraging look.
"There is no time to lose, let's go to Sunset Canyon immediately!" Ding Chen said in a firm tone and took the lead to walk in the direction Xiaoxuan pointed.
General Lin, Yingfeng and Ah Hu followed closely behind.
Xiaoxuan's discovery helped them find direction in their confusion and ignited new hope.
However, the road to Sunset Canyon is not smooth.
As soon as they entered a dense forest, they were surrounded by a pack of wild wolves.
These wild wolves have bloodshot eyes and are a size larger than ordinary wolves. They emit low, chilling growls.
They approached step by step, revealing their sharp fangs, as if they were going to tear everyone into pieces in the next second.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was suffocating.
"Protect Xiaoxuan!" Ding Chen shouted...
Ding Chen protected Xiaoxuan behind him and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xiaoxuan looked at Ding Chen's broad back and felt at ease. She held the corner of Ding Chen's clothes tightly, her eyes firm and trusting.
General Lin roared, brandished his sword, and rushed into the wolf pack like a tiger descending the mountain.
The flashing of swords and the howling of wolves could be heard one after another.
The wild wolves were extremely cunning, dodging the attacks flexibly and quickly splitting into several groups to encircle them from all directions.
Yingfeng's figure was ghostly as he shuttled through the wolf pack, and the dagger in his hand accurately stabbed the wild wolves' vital points.
However, the wolves were so numerous that they seemed endless, and the battle gradually became a stalemate.
Although Ah Hu had no martial arts skills, he picked up a thick wooden stick and fought hard against the wolf's attack, protecting Xiaoxuan and Ding Chen behind him.
At this moment, a deafening wolf howl resounded through the valley, and a huge wolf king appeared in front of everyone.
It is snow-white all over, with scarlet eyes. It is a size larger than an ordinary wild wolf and exudes a terrifying evil aura.
The appearance of the Wolf King made the already fierce battle even more dangerous.
It swung its sharp claws, and each attack carried the power to tear the air, and the pressure on everyone suddenly doubled.
Just as everyone was fighting hard, something strange happened.
A dazzling ray of light suddenly shot out from the blood-red pattern in the sky, hitting a hidden valley not far away.
The light was dazzling, like a miracle, illuminating the entire dark forest.
There is a mysterious atmosphere in the valley, as if it is hiding some huge secret.
"What is that?" Xiaoxuan exclaimed, her eyes full of curiosity and worry.
At the same time, the wolf king suddenly stopped attacking and howled to the sky. The other wild wolves also stopped attacking and crawled on the ground towards the valley where the light fell, trembling as if they were worshiping some sacred existence.
Ying Feng put away his dagger, stared sharply at the direction of the valley, and said in a deep voice: "That place... I'm afraid it's not simple." General Lin also put away his long sword, frowned, and felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
"Let's go and take a look." Ding Chen said in a firm tone and took the lead to walk towards the valley.
Xiaoxuan followed closely behind, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
General Lin, Yingfeng and Ah Hu followed closely, with fear of the unknown and a desire for the truth in their hearts.
Suddenly, General Lin stopped, grabbed Ding Chen's arm, and whispered solemnly, "Wait..."
