Chapter 359 On the Brink of Life and Death, A Glimmer of Hope Appears
The suction force emanating from the black lake was like an invisible behemoth, frantically pulling at Huanmo and the others. Rocks and dust from the surrounding area were swept into the lake with a dull thud. Huanmo felt as if her legs were filled with lead, her body uncontrollably sliding towards the lake's surface.
"No, I can't give up like this!" Huanmo was filled with resentment. He gritted his teeth and gripped a protruding rock beside him tightly. His fingernails broke from the force, and blood slowly trickled down his fingers, but he paid no heed. Memories of his time with his companions flashed through his mind; those scenes of fighting side-by-side became his motivation to persevere.
Yi Chen was also struggling, driving his broken spear deep into the ground, trying to use the friction between the spear and the earth to stabilize himself. However, the suction was too strong; the broken spear carved deep grooves in the ground, and his body was inching closer to the lake. Yi Chen's face was filled with determination, but a trace of despair couldn't help but rise in his heart: "Are we really going to die here?"
The white-clad woman's ribbon played its final role; she tightly wrapped it around a boulder, gripping it tightly. The wind howled, causing the ribbon to flutter wildly, as if it might snap at any moment. A hint of fear flickered in the white-clad woman's eyes, but even more so, a desperate will to survive: "We cannot die; we must find a way to escape this predicament."
The mysterious figure was severely injured, and his resistance to the powerful suction was proving difficult. As he gathered his last strength, he pondered a solution: "This suction is so strange; it must be related to some force at the bottom of the lake. But how can we break it?"
As Huanmo watched the lake approach, a sudden inspiration struck him: "A divine artifact! Perhaps a divine artifact can help us break free from this suction!" He endured the pain in his arms and laboriously raised the artifact above his head. The artifact sensed Huanmo's intention, and its light flickered again, but under the powerful suction, the light seemed somewhat dim.
"Everyone, transfer your power to me! Perhaps we can break this stalemate with the help of the divine artifact!" Huanmo shouted. His voice was scattered by the strong wind, but his companions still heard his call. Yichen, the woman in white, and the mysterious figure all transferred their remaining power to Huanmo through the divine artifact.
With the combined power of everyone, the artifact shone brightly, a dazzling beam shooting into the sky, counteracting the suction of the black lake. Light and darkness intertwined, forming a massive vortex in mid-air, distorting and deforming the surrounding space due to this powerful force.
Huanmo felt as if he were in the eye of a storm, his strength being constantly drained from his body, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. "We must succeed, we can't die here!" he shouted in his heart.
As the divine artifact's light intensified, the black lake's suction seemed to be somewhat restrained, and the group's bodies were no longer uncontrollably sliding towards the surface. However, this was only a temporary balance, and a stalemate ensued. Huanmo knew that this couldn't continue; their power was constantly being depleted, while the black lake's power seemed inexhaustible.
Just then, Huanmo noticed that the runes on the stone pillar in the center of the lake were flashing even more intensely, and a more powerful force was surging out of the pillar and pouring into the black lake. "So it's this stone pillar causing the trouble!" Huanmo realized that to completely get out of this predicament, he had to destroy the runes on the stone pillar.
"Listen up, everyone! The runes on this stone pillar are key. We need to find a way to destroy them!" Huanmo transmitted the information to his companions through the artifact. Yichen looked at the location of the stone pillar and said, "It's too far away. We can't get close at all, and under the influence of this suction force, it will be difficult for our attacks to hit the target."
After a moment's thought, the woman in white said, "Perhaps we can use the power of the divine artifact to concentrate our attack and try." The mysterious figure nodded in agreement: "This is the only way at the moment, but we must seize the opportunity and strike decisively."
Huanmo took a deep breath and said, "I will guide the power of the artifact. Everyone, listen to my command. When I shout 'Release,' everyone transfer all their power to me without reservation." Everyone nodded, preparing for their final gamble.
Huanmo concentrated his mind, condensing the power of the divine artifact into an energy ball. The energy ball spun continuously in his hand, radiating a powerful aura. As the energy ball continued to condense, the surrounding air was compressed, emitting a buzzing sound.
Huanmo stared intently at the runes on the stone pillar, waiting for the perfect moment. When the artifact's energy sphere reached its peak, he shouted, "Release!" Yichen, the woman in white, and the mysterious figure unhesitatingly transferred their last bit of power to Huanmo.
Huanmo launched the energy ball, imbued with the combined power of everyone, towards the runes on the stone pillar. Like a shooting star, the energy ball streaked through the darkness, hurtling towards the pillar with devastating force.
Just as the energy ball was about to strike the rune, the enormous figure seemed to sense the danger. It flapped its wings, and a black barrier appeared before the stone pillar. The energy ball collided with the black barrier, unleashing a deafening roar. The entire space trembled, and black smoke and light flew everywhere.
Huanmo and the others watched the scene ahead nervously, unsure if their attack had succeeded. As the smoke gradually dissipated, they discovered that the runes on the stone pillar were still flashing, though the light had become somewhat unstable.
The enormous figure roared, seemingly pleased with itself for successfully blocking the attack. Huanmo was filled with disappointment, but her fighting spirit quickly rekindled: "If once isn't enough, we'll try again!"
However, just as they were preparing to gather their strength again for another attack, the suction of the black lake suddenly intensified. Once again, their bodies were uncontrollably pulled towards the lake's surface, and the situation became even more critical.
Huanmo was extremely anxious: "What should we do? We have very little power left, and this suction force is getting stronger and stronger. Are we really going to fail at this crucial moment?"
On the brink of life and death, can they find another chance to break the runes on the stone pillar and escape the suction of the black lake? What new moves will that enormous figure make to stop them? Everything is shrouded in uncertainty, and the shadow of death once again looms over Huanmo and the others…
