After an unknown amount of time, he fell heavily to the ground, and a sharp pain came from him, making him groan. He struggled to get up and found himself in an even darker cave.
The cave was filled with a strong smell of blood, and bones were scattered on the ground. The walls were engraved with strange runes and glowed with a faint red light, as if they were the entrance to hell.
"What...is this place?" Lu Yuan murmured to himself, with an ominous premonition rising in his heart.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and a rustling sound came from deep in the cave. Lu Yuan clenched his fists vigilantly. Although the true essence could not be used, the strange energy in his body still existed.
“Who is there?” Lu Yuan shouted sharply.
The rustling sound got closer and closer, and a huge figure slowly emerged from the darkness. It was a spider that was even larger than the previous giant scorpion. It was covered in darkness and its eight scarlet eyes were shining with greed.
"Hiss..." The giant spider neighed, and its sharp spider legs rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.
Lu Yuan's heart sank. The aura of this giant spider was several times more powerful than the previous giant scorpion. It might be difficult to deal with it.
"Boy, you are very good, you can pass the first test." A cold voice suddenly sounded in the cave.
Lu Yuan followed the sound and saw a figure in black robe slowly walking out of the shadows. The black robe covered his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, exuding a heart-stopping chill.
"Who are you?" Lu Yuan asked.
"I am the guardian of this trial place." The man in black robe said, "I am very satisfied with your performance, but the next test will be even more cruel."
"Test?" Lu Yuan sneered, "I want to see what other tricks you have up to."
"You will see." After the man in black robe finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared. in the dark.
"Hiss..." The giant spider neighed again and rushed towards Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan did not dare to be careless, and mobilized the strange energy in his body to rush towards the giant spider.
A fierce battle began. The giant spider's legs are extremely sharp, and every attack carries a fierce wind. Although Lu Yuan was powerful, his speed was not as agile as the giant spider, and he was almost stabbed by the spider's legs several times.
“Damn it!” Lu Yuan cursed secretly. He found that although this strange energy was powerful, it was difficult to last and was consumed very quickly.
The giant spider seemed to be aware of this and attacked even more fiercely. Lu Yuan gradually felt powerless and had a few wounds on his body.
"This can't go on like this." Lu Yuan was anxious. He had to find a solution as soon as possible.
He suddenly remembered what Ku Gu said, "The Immortal Lotus has given you powerful power, but you haven't discovered it yet."
"The power of the Immortal Lotus..." Lu Yuan murmured to himself, he Close your eyes and carefully feel the changes in your body.
He discovered that in addition to the violent energy, there was also a purer and gentler power hidden in the body. This power was like a trickle, nourishing his body and repairing his injuries.
"Is this the power of the Immortal Lotus?" Lu Yuan was delighted. He tried to guide this power and integrate it into the violent energy.
A miracle happened!
The two energies merge together to form a stronger and more stable force. Lu Yuan felt that his strength increased several times in an instant, and his speed became more agile.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.
"Roar!" The giant spider pounced again, stabbing his chest with its sharp spider legs.
Lu Yuan punched out without dodging.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, the giant spider's legs were broken by his punch, and green blood spurted out.
The giant spider let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground. Lu Yuan stood next to the giant spider's body, panting, and his heart was filled with shock. He finally mastered the power of Xianlian!
At this moment, a sinister laughter came from deep in the cave.
"Hahaha...boy, you really did not disappoint me." The man in black robe appeared again, his eyes flashing with excitement, "The next step is the real test."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wall of the cave suddenly began to shake, and countless runes lit up, emitting a dazzling light.
"What's going on?" Lu Yuan was shocked, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.
Suddenly, the ground cracked, and a huge black hole appeared at Lu Yuan's feet.
"No..." Lu Yuan exclaimed, and his whole body fell into the black hole...
What was waiting for him deep in the black hole?
The black hole swallowed Lu Yuan, and endless darkness enveloped him. The weightless feeling of falling made his stomach churn, as if it was about to be torn apart. He desperately mobilized the power of the fairy lotus in his body, trying to stabilize his body, but found that this power was like a mud cow entering the sea in this strange black hole, and had no effect.
"Damn it!" Lu Yuan cursed secretly, was he going to die inexplicably like this? He is unwilling to give in. He has not yet figured out his life experience, has not found the truth about his parents' disappearance, and has not yet completed the instructions of Dry Bones.
Just when he was almost desperate, the downward trend suddenly stopped. He felt as if he was being held by an invisible hand and slowly fell to the ground.
“Bang!”
With a muffled sound, Lu Yuan fell heavily to the ground, grinning in pain. He struggled to his feet and looked around.
This is a vast space. In the dim light, you can see countless huge stone pillars standing around, like an ancient forest. There was a rotten smell in the air that was nauseating.
"What is this place?" Lu Yuan was confused. He tried to mobilize the power of the fairy lotus and found that it could be used normally.
"Boy, welcome to my domain." A gloomy voice came from all directions, making people shudder.
Lu Yuan followed the sound, but could not see any figure.
"Pretend to be a ghost!" Lu Yuan snorted coldly, "Come out if you can!"
"Jie Jie Jie..." The sinister laughter sounded again, "You are very brave, I Like.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a black figure slowly walked out from behind a stone pillar.
It is the man in black robe.
"Who are you?" Lu Yuan asked, his tone full of vigilance.
"I am the guardian of this trial place and also your guide." The man in black robe said, his voice hoarse, like metal friction, "You passed the first test, next "There are more difficult challenges waiting for you."
"Challenge?" Lu Yuan sneered, "Am I afraid of you?"
"Haha..." The man in black robe chuckled, "You will soon know whether I am qualified to make you afraid."
He raised his right hand and waved it gently.
The surrounding stone pillars suddenly began to shake, and the ground shook violently.
"Rumble..."
There was a loud noise, the ground cracked, and countless monsters crawled out of the cracks. (End of chapter)
