Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 232 Fierce Battle in the Cave

Li Zhao and others' eyes were fixed on the depths of the cave. The huge figure that slowly emerged was like a nightmare slowly unfolding.

The deep cave was filled with a chilling silence, with only the heavy breathing and increasingly rapid heartbeats of the crowd intertwined.

The figure was tightly surrounded by a layer of mysterious fog as thick as ink, making it difficult to distinguish. However, the powerful aura emanating from it was like a surging storm, wave after wave, heavily impacting everyone's tense nerves.

Li Zhao's chest heaved violently, and he gasped for breath. He forced himself to calm himself, lowered his voice, and spoke word by word, "Everyone must be careful. No matter what kind of monster this is, we must not slack off and must remain vigilant at all times!"

The figure gradually became clearer, and they finally saw clearly that there was an extremely huge monster in front of them.

It was more than two people tall, like a moving hill, covered with shiny black scales. Each scale flashed with a cold light, as if it were a layer of indestructible armor.

The monster's eyes were like two burning red fireballs, emitting a bloodthirsty and murderous light, and its gaze seemed to be able to burn a person's soul to ashes.

Its mouth was full of sharp and pointed fangs, each of which flashed with cold light like a sharp blade. From time to time, it made a low and dull roar, and the sound made the air in the cave buzz, which was creepy.

The monster roared to the sky, the sound shaking the whole area, and then it rushed towards everyone like a mad bull.

It was as fast as lightning, leaving people no time to react.

Li Zhao reacted quickly and waved the gem in his hand without hesitation. In an instant, a dazzling light shot out like a sword, trying to block the monster's fierce attack.

The light hit the monster, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree. The monster only paused for a moment before continuing to rush forward with great momentum.

Su Mengyao

Seeing this, they didn't dare to slack off and immediately launched an attack. Su Mengyao quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something. As she moved, the moisture in the air quickly condensed, and countless icicles shot towards the monster like a rainstorm.

The Crown Princess waved her hands and shouted, summoning blazing golden flames. The flames were like nimble fire snakes, pouncing at the monster with bared fangs and claws.

These attacks landed on the monster, but it was like hitting hard steel, only splashing a burst of dazzling sparks, and did not seem to cause much damage to it.

Li Zhao secretly groaned in his heart. The monster's defense was beyond imagination.

While he nimbly dodged the monster's attacks, he observed its every move intently, trying to find its weakness.

At this moment, he keenly discovered that every time the monster launched an attack, the scales on its neck would open slightly, revealing a small piece of relatively soft skin.

Li Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness.

He quickly told Su Mengyao about this discovery, and the two immediately understood and began to adjust their tactics.

Li Zhao was responsible for attracting the monster's attention. He controlled the gem to emit strong light. The light was like a bright lamp, keeping the monster's sight focused on him.

Su Mengyao was like two agile cheetahs, quietly circling behind the monster and waiting for the best time to attack.

When the monster attacked again and the scales on its neck opened slightly, Su Mengyao was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and shot out an ice cone without hesitation.

The ice cone flashed with cold light, like a meteor, accurately piercing the weak point of the monster's neck.

The monster seemed to sense the fatal danger. At the moment when the ice cone was about to pierce it, it twisted its body suddenly. The ice cone only brushed past its neck, leaving only a shallow scratch.

The monster was completely enraged. It let out a deafening roar, the sound of which seemed to be able to collapse the entire cave.

It turned around suddenly and rushed towards Su Mengyao like a chariot out of control.

Su Mengyao was unable to dodge and was scratched on the arm by the monster's sharp claws. Blood immediately gushed out like a fountain, quickly staining her sleeves red.

Seeing this, Li Zhao became extremely anxious and his eyes turned red.

He rushed forward desperately, using the light of the gem to attack the monster with all his strength, trying to attract its attention and give Su Mengyao a chance to escape.

The Crown Princess also took the opportunity to launch an attack. The golden flames enveloped the monster like a tide, but the monster still attacked frantically without any sign of retreat.

Just when they were in dire straits and felt hopeless, a strange sound suddenly came from deep in the cave.

The voice was low and distant, as if it came from ancient times, like someone chanting an ancient and mysterious spell.

A soft and warm light slowly shone out from the depths of the cave. In the light, a figure was looming and slowly walking towards them.

The figure was getting closer and closer, and Li Zhao and others finally saw clearly that it was an old man in a white robe.

His face was covered with traces of time, with wrinkles crisscrossing like ravines, but his eyes were very bright, revealing a mysterious and profound power, as if he could see through everything in the world.

The old man walked slowly in front of them with steady steps.

He looked at the injured Su Mengyao, frowned slightly, and a trace of concern flashed in his eyes.

Then, he stretched out his hand, and a soft light slowly appeared in his palm. The light was like the warm sun in spring, emitting a warm breath.

The old man gently covered Su Mengyao's wound with light, and a magical thing happened. Su Mengyao's wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the pain disappeared without a trace.

Li Zhao and others looked at the old man in surprise, their eyes full of confusion and puzzlement. They didn't know why he suddenly appeared and why he wanted to help them.

The old man seemed to see their doubts, sighed softly, and said slowly:

"I have stood guard here for countless ages, waiting for someone who can unlock its secrets. I witnessed the crystals in your hands and the thrilling battle with the men in black. Perhaps your arrival is fate's will, a destiny." The old man turned to look at the monster, a solemn expression in his eyes. "This monster is the evil force sealed here. Its power is immense, and you cannot easily contend with it."

Li Zhao quickly stepped forward, bowed, and asked, "Senior, what should we do? This monster's defense is too strong. Our attacks are almost ineffective against it."

The old man smiled slightly and took out a small and exquisite jade box from his bosom. The jade box was engraved with mysterious runes and emitted a faint light.

The old man gently opened the jade box, and inside was a bead emitting colorful light.

The beads shone with light, dreamlike and illusory, as if containing endless power.

The old man said, "This bead was one of the artifacts used to seal the monster. It has the magical ability to restrain evil forces. If you incorporate it into your weapon, perhaps it will be able to cause effective damage to the monster."

Li Zhao took the beads with both hands and instantly felt the powerful force contained in the beads. The force was like a warm current, spreading through his arms and throughout his body.

He merged the bead with his own gemstone, and in an instant, the gemstone's light became even more dazzling, and its power seemed to increase several times.

Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess were also ready for battle. The flame of hope was rekindled in their eyes, and the flame burned fiercely, as if to dispel all the darkness.

The monster seemed to feel an unprecedented threat. It roared again, shaking the sky, its voice full of anger and fear.

Then, it pounced on everyone again like a mad beast.

Li Zhao took the lead in launching an attack. He controlled the gem that was fused with beads and emitted a powerful light.

The light contained colorful power, like a gorgeous rainbow, directly hitting the monster's weak point on the neck.

The monster let out a painful roar and its body shook violently, like a tall building about to collapse.

Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess also took the opportunity to launch an attack, and ice cones and flames shot towards the monster again like a rainstorm.

This time, the monster's defense seemed to be completely weakened, and the ice cones and flames successfully caused damage to it.

There were many wounds on the monster's body, and blood was pouring out, staining the surrounding ground red.

The monster struggled angrily, and its attacks became more crazy and more desperate, but Li Zhao and others did not retreat at all. They united tightly, cooperated with each other, and continued to launch attacks.

Just as the monster was about to be defeated, the ground in the cave suddenly began to shake violently, and cracks quickly spread from the ground like spider webs.

The monster let out a desperate roar, and its body suddenly swelled up, as if gathering its last strength in preparation for a dying struggle.

Li Zhao and others were shocked. They didn't know what the monster wanted to do, but they knew clearly that danger was approaching step by step and the shadow of death was looming over them.

Suddenly, the monster opened its bloody mouth, and a black beam of energy shot out from its mouth like a black lightning, heading straight for Li Zhao and others.

Wherever the energy beam passed, the air was torn apart, making a harsh sound.

Li Zhao and the others were unable to dodge and could only use all their strength to resist. Just when the black energy beam was about to hit them, the old man suddenly made a move, and a golden shield appeared in his hand.

The shield shone brightly and emitted powerful force, like a towering mountain, blocking the black energy beam.

The black energy beam hit the cave wall, causing a massive explosion.

The entire cave began to shake violently, and rocks rained down from the top of the head.

The old man's face changed drastically, and he shouted anxiously: "Oh no! The monster's power has caused the cave to collapse. We must leave here immediately!"

Li Zhao and others followed the old man and ran desperately in the cave.

Behind him are rocks that are constantly collapsing, each of which weighs thousands of pounds. Once hit, one will be shattered to pieces.

Their lives could end at any time, and the breath of death follows them everywhere.

At this critical moment, can they find the exit and successfully escape from this dangerous cave?
