Chapter 194 Dark Shadow
Chapter 194 Dark Shadow
Shen Yiran tried hard to control her inner fear and moved forward step by step.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow jumped out from the darkness and rushed towards them. The shadow was like a small mountain, carrying a strong sense of oppression.
Huihu and Yanlang immediately rushed forward and started a fierce battle with the black shadow. Huihu roared like thunder. It waved its huge claws and pounced on the black shadow.
The Flame Wolf nimbly shuttled around the black shadow, looking for an opportunity to attack. The black shadow kept roaring, fighting fiercely with the Shining Tiger and the Flame Wolf.
Shen Yiran took the opportunity to observe the black shadow's weaknesses and found that the black shadow seemed to be more sensitive to light.
So she quickly took out a tinder from her bag, blew it up and threw it at the shadow. The shadow was frightened by the light of the torch and quickly retreated into the darkness.
Shen Yiran and the others took the opportunity to move forward and finally walked out of the cave. As soon as they came out of the cave, they saw the old man who had been waiting there.
The old man looked at them with a smile and said, "Congratulations, you have successfully passed the test of courage."
Then the old man said, "The next second level will be even more dangerous. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. Do you still want to try it, girl?"
Shen Yiran raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing determination and fearlessness, and said without hesitation: "Go ahead! Now that I have embarked on this road, there is no reason to turn back. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I will go through them one by one."
Huihu and Yanlang stood aside, looking majestic. They looked at each other and nodded firmly.
Huihu's deep and powerful voice instantly rang in Shen Yiran's mind: "Master, we will advance and retreat with you and will never retreat."
The voice of the Flame Wolf also sounded immediately afterwards: "Master, no matter how dangerous it is, we will accompany you."
A warm feeling surged in Shen Yiran's heart. With the company and support of Huihu and Yanlang, she became more determined to pass the level.
She took a deep breath, turned to look at the old man, and said solemnly: "Please lead the way, senior. We are ready to face the challenge of the second level."
The old man nodded slightly, a hint of admiration in his eyes, and turned to walk towards the unknown road ahead.
Shen Yiran, Huihu and Yanlang followed closely behind, resolutely stepping towards the dangerous second level.
The old man led Shen Yiran and others to a valley covered in mist. There were faint strange sounds coming from the valley, as if they were the voices of sorrow coming from the netherworld, which made people shudder.
The old man stopped and said slowly: "This second level is called the Psychedelic Valley. The valley is full of fog and contains countless traps and illusions. Once you fall into it, it will be difficult to extricate yourself, and you may even lose yourself forever.
You need wisdom and courage to find the right path and get out of the valley to pass this level."
Shen Yiran looked at the mysterious valley, feeling a little nervous, but more determined. She turned to look at Huihu and Yanlang, who also had fighting spirit in their eyes.
As they stepped into the valley, fog instantly surrounded them. The surrounding scene began to become blurry, and the strange sound became clearer, like countless evil spirits whispering in their ears.
Shen Yiran walked forward cautiously, remaining vigilant at all times.
Suddenly, several forks in the road appeared in front of them. Each road was shrouded in fog and the end was unclear.
Shen Yiran stopped and thought about what to do. Huihu and Yanlang were also watching from the side, trying to find clues.
At this moment, the surrounding fog began to surge violently as if it had come to life. Then, illusory figures slowly emerged, swaying in the fog like ghosts.
Some figures had distorted faces and uttered shrill cries, which were like sharp daggers piercing people's hearts and making people shudder; some figures were laughing madly, and that laughter was crazy and terrifying, as if it came from the devil from hell, which made people feel very confused.
Huihu and Yanlang instantly entered combat mode, their hair standing on end and their eyes full of vigilance.
Huihu let out a low roar at those illusory figures, the sound shaking all around, trying to scare them away.
The Flame Wolf kept pacing beside Shen Yiran, ready to respond to possible attacks at any time.
However, those illusory figures did not seem to be afraid of their threats. The cries and laughter intertwined together, forming a strange sound wave attack that impacted their eardrums and hearts.
Shining Tiger and Flame Wolf pounced on the figures, but could only pass through them, as if they were hitting the air.
After a fierce battle, Huihu and Yanlang gradually became exhausted, but they were still unable to cause any substantial damage to those illusory figures.
Shen Yiran looked at the chaotic scene in front of her, her heart filled with anxiety. But she knew that she had to stay calm at this moment. She closed her eyes, trying to block out those terrifying voices, and gradually calm her mind.
Shen Yiran recalled the knowledge he had learned about illusion and realized that these illusory figures were most likely a manifestation of illusion.
She slowly opened her eyes and carefully observed the illusory figures. She found that whenever the crying and laughter reached a climax, the surrounding fog would become thicker. She guessed that the core of the illusion might be deep in the fog.
Therefore, Shen Yiran resolutely decided to take a risk. She concentrated her mind, ignored the interference of the phantoms around her, and walked steadily into the depths of the fog, as if a flat road appeared in front of her.
Just two minutes later, the fog in front of them dispersed as if it was pushed away by an invisible hand. The illusory figures also became blurred at this moment, and the shrill cries and crazy laughter gradually weakened.
The fog dissipated, and a peaceful valley appeared before my eyes. The green grass and blooming wild flowers formed a sharp contrast with the terrifying foggy scene just now.
Huihu said in a low voice: "Master, you are smart. You can find a way out of such a difficult situation." Yanlang nodded in agreement.
Shen Yiran felt a little relieved, but she didn't dare to be careless, because they were gambling with their lives.
If they can't get out, it won't just be the three of them who will sacrifice. Once the epidemic occurs, it will take away the lives of thousands of people.
Shen Yiran was alert, "Huihu, Yanlang, don't let your guard down. The next challenge will be even more dangerous."
Huihu nodded solemnly, his eyes full of determination. Yanlang also nodded slightly, his hair standing up slightly, ready to face the next challenge at any time.
They walked forward for about ten minutes, and the scene before them changed again. They saw a stream glittering with mysterious light, and the water was so clear that one could see the bottom, as if it was flowing with bright starlight.
Various exotic flowers grow by the stream, and their petals emit colorful light, like a dream.
There was a faint halo in the air around, as if a mysterious power was surging.
Just when Shen Yiran wanted to see the surrounding environment more clearly, the ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed without warning, as if the earth had opened a ferocious giant mouth and wanted to swallow them in one gulp.
