Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 229 Fear

Recalling the thrilling battle they had just fought, the two were still shaken.

This battle was extremely dangerous; every moment was filled with deadly threats and unpredictable events.

If it weren't for their ability to trust each other and cooperate closely at crucial moments...

I fear that even the slightest mistake could lead to unimaginable consequences.

At this moment, the gloom that had been hanging over my heart has dissipated, and the crisis has been successfully resolved.

The man turned to look at Huan Yuechu beside him, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

Huan Yuechu met his gaze, and the two smiled at each other.

At this moment, without needing to exchange words, their eyes revealed a sense of relief at surviving a disaster and a deep appreciation for each other's tacit cooperation in battle.

After a short rest and adjustment, the man, Huan Yuechu, and the small and exquisite spirit beast slowly turned around.

We left the garden, which was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, step by step.

Just as they were about to leave, Huan Yuechu and the man discussed it briefly and finally reached an agreement—to take the dazzling crystal ball with them, since no one could predict what unexpected situations might occur next.

So, holding the priceless crystal ball in their hands, they carefully stepped onto the winding path.

The path is lined with trees on both sides, their lush branches intertwined, resembling a natural green archway.

At this moment, all around was quiet and peaceful, with only the sound of their footsteps lightly treading on the withered yellow leaves covering the ground, making a soft and crisp rustling sound.

However, their good fortune didn't last long. They had only walked a short distance when the once clear and bright sky suddenly turned dark and gloomy.

Immediately afterwards, a violent and fierce gust of wind swept in like a wild horse.

The wind blew the leaves into a frenzy, as if the whole world had been swept up in a massive storm.

Faced with such a sudden change, Huan Yuechu instinctively hugged the crystal ball tightly in her arms, while looking around warily.

The little spirit beast beside it didn't dare to relax for a moment, and it quickly pricked up its two furry ears.

It occasionally let out low, suppressed growls from its throat, seemingly as a warning of potential danger.

Upon seeing this, the man frowned, a strong sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

As expected, in an instant, a group of ghostly black figures rushed out from all directions like lightning.

They swiftly and decisively surrounded the three of them in the center.

These shadowy figures were all agile and swift as the wind, and exuded a chilling and sinister aura.

At first glance, you can tell they are no good people.

Huan Yuechu and the man remained calm under pressure and reacted almost simultaneously.

They quickly stood back to back, forming an impenetrable defensive line between them.

He stared intently at the group of uninvited guests with unclear intentions before him, ready to face a new round of fierce battle at any moment.

"Who exactly are you people? What do you want?"

Huan Yuechu spoke first; her voice was clear and resonant, yet the authority it contained was not to be underestimated.

"Stop talking nonsense! Hand over what you have, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

The leader, a dark figure, threatened menacingly.

"Hmph! You want the crystal ball? Then bring it on!"

Huan Yuechu was not to be outdone; her answer was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation or retreat.

Before the words were even finished, the group of dark figures surged forward like a raging tide, and a thrilling battle was about to begin...

A resolute glint flashed in the man's eyes, and he launched the first attack without hesitation.

In an instant, a dazzling beam of light shot out from his hand, like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky, and with unparalleled momentum, it rushed straight toward the several dark figures directly in front of him.

This sudden attack was incredibly powerful, temporarily knocking the dark figures back several steps.

Meanwhile, Huan Yuechu was not idle either.

She parted her lips slightly and quickly recited a mysterious incantation.

As her chanting began, an invisible energy started to gather around them.

It quickly condensed into a transparent protective shield, like an indestructible barrier, tightly protecting the two of them.

However, despite the seemingly impenetrable protective shield, it was under increasing pressure from the numerous and ever-flowing shadows.

Before long, the originally stable protective shield began to shake violently, as if it might break and collapse at any moment.

At this critical moment, the little spirit beast that had been quietly waiting to the side suddenly stepped forward.

Its small body shot out like an arrow, rushing towards the weakest point in the encirclement with lightning speed.

Its movements are light and agile, as elusive as a ghost, making it difficult to grasp.

In the blink of an eye, the little spirit beast had already closed in on the dark figures, baring its sharp fangs and biting them fiercely.

Faced with such a fierce attack from the little spirit beast, the dark figures were thrown into disarray.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the man quickly grabbed Huan Yuechu's hand and rushed towards the gap that had just been torn open.

However, before they could get very far, the shadowy figures, having realized what was happening, quickly swarmed around them again, blocking their path once more.

Just when everyone was in dire straits, the meticulous Huan Yuechu suddenly noticed something amiss.

After careful observation, she was pleasantly surprised to find that these vicious shadowy figures were actually extremely wary of the light emitted by the crystal ball in her hand.

At this critical moment, her eyes shone brightly, her expression was resolute, and without hesitation she raised the crystal ball that emitted a mysterious light high above her head.

In an instant, a dazzling and incredibly powerful beam of light erupted from the crystal ball like a volcanic eruption, shooting straight towards the group of ghostly black figures.

The shadowy figures, suddenly illuminated by the intense light, were thrown into chaos. As if scorched by flames, they let out heart-wrenching screams and retreated in panic.

However, the intense light followed them relentlessly, giving the shadowy figures no chance to breathe.

Seeing this scene, the man standing to the side was overjoyed, knowing that this was the perfect opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

He tightly closed his lips, took a deep breath, and then his hands began to form hand seals with lightning speed.

At the same time, a series of obscure yet powerful incantations poured from his mouth, like a call from ancient times.
