Su Mo quickly dodged, and the dagger cut a series of wounds on the guardian beast's body, but these wounds seemed to have no effect on it. Chen Xi drew her bow and shot arrows from a distance, aiming at the vital points of the guardian beast, trying to weaken its attack power.
The wise man stood behind, chanting a spell in his mouth, and the staff emitted a blue light and hit the guardian beast on the head. However, the guardian beast only trembled slightly before continuing to launch fierce attacks.
"Its defense is too strong, we must find its weakness!" The wise man reminded loudly, his eyes quickly scanning the guardian beast's body, trying to find a breakthrough.
At this moment, the guardian beast suddenly let out a low roar, and its huge wings suddenly flapped, setting off a gust of wind that blew everyone around. Lin Hao was swept up by the strong wind and fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth again.
"Lin Hao!" Su Mo exclaimed, her eyes full of worry and anger. She stood up quickly, holding the dagger tightly in her hand, and rushed towards the guardian beast again.
Not to be outdone, the warrior waved his battle ax in his hand and launched a more intense battle with the guardian beast. Chen Xi kept shooting arrows in the distance, trying to contain the guardian beast's actions.
However, the power of the guardian beast was too powerful, and everyone seemed powerless under its fierce offensive. The wise man's staff emitted streaks of blue light, trying to heal the wounds of his injured companions, but the guardian beast's attack speed was too fast and did not give them any chance to breathe.
Just when the battle was at its fiercest, the guardian beast suddenly let out a deep roar, and its huge tail suddenly swung down, hitting Chen Xi's chest. Chen Xi was immediately knocked away and fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting out of her mouth.
"Morning!" the warrior shouted, his eyes full of anger and despair.
"We can't give up!" the wise man said loudly, his eyes full of determination, "As long as we unite, we will definitely defeat it!"
Everyone nodded, even though they were seriously injured, they still refused to back down. They clenched the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the guardian beast again. Su Mo's dagger stabbed precisely into the joints of the guardian beast, trying to weaken its ability to move. The warrior and Lin Hao cooperated with each other's attacks tacitly, and used their powerful power to repel the guardian beast.
The wise man's staff emitted a blue light and hit the guardian beast on the head. The guardian beast suddenly let out a scream and fell to the ground twitching. Everyone seized the opportunity and focused their firepower on its head, finally defeating this powerful guardian beast.
The moment the guardian beast fell to the ground, the entire palace seemed to be shaking. The surrounding gems shattered and turned into countless light spots, disappearing into the air.
"We succeeded..." Lin Hao forced a smile. His face was pale, but his eyes were still full of determination.
"However, we also paid a heavy price." The wise man whispered, his eyes full of worry and uneasiness.
Su Mo eagerly checked the injuries of his companions and found that everyone was seriously injured to varying degrees. Her eyes were full of worry, but she still said firmly: "We must continue to move forward and cannot stop here."
"Keep going!" the wise man said firmly. Although everyone was exhausted, he knew that they could not stay here for too long. The tremors in the palace gradually subsided, and the surroundings returned to silence, but there was an uneasy atmosphere permeating the silence.
Su Mo helped Lin Hao up and looked forward firmly. At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from the depths of the palace. Everyone immediately became alert and clenched the weapons in their hands.
A figure slowly walked out of the darkness, a woman wearing black leather armor. She is tall and moves lightly. She holds a silver long bow in her hand and the quiver on her back is filled with arrows. Her long black hair fluttered around her shoulders, and her eyes were cold, like an alert cheetah.
"Who are you?" the woman asked coldly, looking at everyone.
"We are the Guardians of Harmony, looking for the treasure of Demon King Island." Su Mo replied, with a hint of vigilance in her voice.
"Hmph, I'm here to look for treasures too." The woman sneered, "But looking at you, you seem to be exhausted."
"We have indeed gone through a tough battle, but that doesn't mean we will give up easily." Su Mo said firmly.
The woman's eyes flickered for a moment, as if she was thinking about something. Finally, she said coldly: "My name is Su Meier. If you don't want to be my enemy, just leave here."
"Su Mei'er, we have no hostility." Su Mo said hurriedly, "We can cooperate and face the next challenges together."
Su Meier sneered: "Cooperation? I never trust strangers."
"But we are all in danger now, and only by uniting can we defeat the next enemy." Su Mo said sincerely, her eyes full of sincerity.
Su Meier was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, I believe you for the time being. But if you dare to betray me, I will never show mercy."
"We will never betray you." Su Mo said with a smile. She knew this was a difficult battle, but with the addition of Su Mei'er, their chances of winning would be greatly increased.
Su Meier glanced at everyone coldly, then walked to the front of the team, observing the surroundings with vigilance. Her figure is heroic and her every movement is full of power and grace.
"Let us move on," said the wise man, his eyes full of determination. Everyone nodded, helped up the injured companion, and continued to move forward.
The passage deep in the palace was winding and dark, and the gems inlaid on the surrounding walls gave off a faint light, illuminating their path forward. Su Meier was walking at the front, the long bow in her hand ready to shoot deadly arrows at any time.
"There is movement ahead." Su Meier suddenly whispered, her eyes fixed on the darkness ahead.
Everyone immediately stopped and clenched their weapons. At this moment, a low roar came from the front, shaking the entire passage.
"It's the guardian beast again!" Lin Hao whispered, his eyes full of vigilance.
Su Meier quickly drew the bow string, and an arrow shot out like lightning, hitting the target in the darkness ahead. Just hearing a scream, a huge monster jumped out of the darkness.
The monster had the body of a lion, the wings of an eagle, and the tail of a dragon. Its eyes flashed with red light, exuding a powerful coercion. Its body is covered with scales and appears extremely hard.
"Another guardian beast!" the wise man whispered, his eyes full of worry.
"We must find its weakness!" Su Mo reminded loudly, holding her dagger tightly in her hand, ready to face a new battle.
Su Meier quickly dodged, the long bow turned flexibly in her hand, and she shot out arrows one after another, accurately hitting the monster's vitals. However, these attacks don't seem to have much of an effect on the monsters.
"Its defense is too strong, we must find its weakness!" The wise man reminded loudly, his eyes quickly scanning the monster's body, trying to find a breakthrough.
At this moment, the monster suddenly let out a low roar, and its huge wings suddenly flapped, setting off a gust of wind that blew everyone around. Lin Hao was swept up by the strong wind and fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth again.
"Lin Hao!" Su Mo exclaimed, her eyes full of worry and anger. She stood up quickly, holding the dagger tightly in her hand, and rushed towards the monster again.
Not to be outdone, the warrior waved his battle ax in his hand and launched a more intense battle with the monster. Su Meier kept shooting arrows from a distance, trying to contain the monster's actions.
However, the monster's power was too powerful, and everyone seemed powerless under its fierce attack. The wise man's staff emitted streaks of blue light, trying to heal the wounds of his injured companions, but the monster's attack speed was too fast and did not give them any chance to breathe.
Just when the battle was at its fiercest, the monster suddenly let out a low roar, and its huge tail suddenly swung down and hit Su Meier's chest. Su Meier was immediately knocked away and fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting out from her mouth.
"Su Mei'er!" Su Mo shouted loudly, her eyes filled with anger and despair.
"We can't give up!" the wise man said loudly, his eyes full of determination, "As long as we unite, we will definitely defeat it!"
Everyone nodded, even though they were seriously injured, they still refused to back down. They clenched the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the monster again. Su Mo's dagger stabbed precisely into the monster's joints, trying to weaken its ability to move. The warrior and Lin Hao cooperated with each other's attacks tacitly, and used their powerful strength to repel the monster.
The wise man's staff emitted a blue light and hit the monster's head. The monster suddenly let out a scream and fell to the ground twitching. Everyone seized the opportunity and focused their firepower on its head, finally defeating this powerful guardian beast.
The moment the monster fell to the ground, the entire palace seemed to be shaking. The surrounding gems shattered and turned into countless light spots, disappearing into the air.
"We succeeded..." Lin Hao forced a smile. His face was pale, but his eyes were still full of determination.
"However, we also paid a heavy price." The wise man whispered, his eyes full of worry and uneasiness.
Su Mo eagerly checked the injuries of his companions and found that everyone was seriously injured to varying degrees. Her eyes were full of worry, but she still said firmly: "We must continue to move forward and cannot stop here."
Su Meier stood up slowly. Although she was seriously injured, her eyes were still cold. She walked to Su Mo and whispered: "Thank you for your help. Although I don't like to rely on others, I owe you a favor this time."
"We are a team and we should help each other." Su Mo smiled, her eyes full of determination.
Just as everyone was taking a break, a cold wind suddenly blew from the depths of the passage, carrying a strange aura. Su Meier raised her head alertly and looked forward with burning eyes. Su Mo also sensed the abnormality and clenched his dagger, preparing to deal with the new threat.
"Everyone, be careful, something is coming." Su Meier warned in a low voice.
At this moment, a woman wearing a black robe slowly walked out of the darkness. There was a sneer on her face, and her eyes were cold and threatening. She held a black staff in her hand, the top of which was inlaid with a gem that shimmered with purple light.
"Welcome to my labyrinth." The woman said coldly, her voice seemed to come from all directions, making people shudder.
"Who are you?" Su Mo asked warily, her eyes fixed on the woman.
"I am the guardian of this palace, the witch Lilith." The woman sneered, "You were able to defeat my guardian beast, which is beyond my expectation. However, your journey ends here."
Before she finished speaking, Lilith suddenly waved the staff in her hand, and purple light instantly enveloped the entire passage. Everyone felt their eyes blurred, and then fell into a hazy world.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a huge maze. The surrounding walls are towering, and the maze's passages are intricate and seemingly endless.
"We are trapped in an illusion," the wise man whispered, his eyes filled with worry.
"We must find an exit." Su Mo said firmly, her eyes quickly scanning around, trying to find clues.
"But this maze is so complicated, how can we find a way out?" Lin Hao frowned, his face was still pale, but his eyes were full of perseverance.
"We must unite, calm down, and analyze carefully," the wise man said, with a hint of calmness in his voice.
Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, a deep laughter came from the depths of the maze. Lilith's voice sounded again: "You can never escape from here. This maze is my masterpiece, specially designed to trap uninvited guests like you."
"We will never give up easily!" Su Mo said loudly, her eyes full of determination.
Everyone began to explore the maze, taking every step carefully for fear of triggering some trap. Su Meier was walking at the front, the longbow in her hand ready to deal with sudden dangers. Lin Hao and the warrior followed closely behind, protecting the rear of the team.
The passages of the maze are winding and winding, and the surrounding walls are inlaid with various strange runes, emitting a faint light. Su Mo carefully observed these runes, trying to find clues to crack the maze.
"These runes seem to be some kind of ancient magic circle." The wise man said, his eyes quickly scanning the runes.
"Can it be cracked?" Su Mo asked.
"I need some time," the wise man replied, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from the depths of the maze. Everyone immediately became alert and clenched their weapons. Su Mei'er quickly drew the bow string and stared at the darkness ahead. A figure rushed out of the darkness, a tall warrior holding a huge battle ax in his hand. There was a ferocious smile on his face, and his eyes were full of hostility. (End of chapter)
