Chapter 73: Keep Moving Forward＊＊
After a short rest, Lin Yu and his team regained their spirits and continued to move forward. They knew that there were more difficult challenges waiting for them ahead. The power of the "heart" might be the key to their victory.
Walking along the underground passage, the air was filled with a depressing and weird atmosphere. The surroundings were filled with magic circles and traps, as if silently guarding the "Heart". Lin Yu and his group moved forward cautiously, always keeping vigilant.
"Everyone, be careful, there may be danger ahead." Lin Yu said in a low voice.
As soon as the voice fell, a cold wind blew, and the air was filled with the smell of decay. Lin Yu and others looked in the direction of the smell, only to see a group of disgusting maggots crawling out from the ground and attacking them.
"What kind of monster is this?" Su Yao exclaimed.
"This is a 'corpse maggot', a creature that lives in dark places. It has a strong reproductive capacity and is very ferocious," Zhao Hao explained.
Lin Yu waved his magic wand and released a powerful fire magic to burn the maggots. Su Yao controlled the wind element to create ** to help Lin Yu contain the enemy. Li Yueran silently chanted a spell to provide treatment for his teammates.
The battle lasted for a long time, and Lin Yu and his team finally wiped out the maggots. However, they also paid a huge price and their physical strength was greatly reduced.
"Let's take a break." Zhao Hao said, panting.
They leaned against the wall and rested for a while, while Lin Yu took out a map to check their current location.
"We are getting closer and closer to the 'Heart' now." Lin Yu said, "But it seems that there are greater challenges waiting for us ahead."
They continued walking and came to a huge maze, which was made up of countless stones and was so complicated that it was dazzling.
"What should we do?" Li Yueran said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I believe we can find a way out." Lin Yu comforted, "Let's try this direction first."
They followed the instructions on the map and entered the maze, but the paths in the maze became more and more complicated, and they seemed to never find a way out.
"What should we do?" Su Yao said anxiously.
"Calm down, we will definitely find a way out." Lin Yu encouraged.
They continued to explore, and suddenly, a loud noise came from the front. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge monster rushing out of the maze.
This monster looks like a giant tiger, with hard scales all over its body and murderous eyes. Its limbs are strong and powerful, and it runs very fast.
"Everyone be careful, this is the 'Stone Tiger', a very ferocious monster." Zhao Hao exclaimed.
Lin Yu and others drew their weapons and prepared to fight the monster.
"Lin Yu, what should we do?" Su Yao asked.
"Don't panic, let's split into two teams and attack from both sides." Lin Yu said, "Su Yao, you come with me and attack the left side of the monster."
Su Yao nodded and fought side by side with Lin Yu. Zhao Hao and Li Yueran attacked from the right.
After the battle began, Lin Yu and Su Yao controlled the fire magic and attacked the monster. However, the monster's defense was very strong, and their attacks did not cause much damage.
"Lin Yu, let's change our strategy." Su Yao said.
"That's right, we have to attack its weaknesses." Lin Yu said.
They observed for a while and found an obvious weakness in the belly of the monster. Lin Yu and Su Yao aimed at the weakness and released a powerful fire attack.
The monster let out a scream, fell to the ground, and twitched.
"We succeeded!" Li Yueran shouted excitedly.
"Everyone be careful, there is still one!" Zhao Hao reminded.
They turned around and saw another "stone tiger" rushing out of the maze.
"We have to leave here quickly." Lin Yu said.
He and his teammates ran out of the maze along the path and escaped from the pursuit of the "Stone Tiger".
They ran out of the maze and came to an open area, where the sun was shining and the air was fresh, forming a sharp contrast with the gloomy and terrifying feeling in the maze.
"We finally got out!" Su Yao exclaimed.
"Yes, we succeeded." Lin Yu said.
They rested for a while to replenish their energy. Then, they continued on their way, heading towards the "heart".
They know that there are more difficult challenges waiting for them ahead, but they are no longer afraid, because they have defeated the "stone tiger" and found confidence.
"We will definitely find the 'Heart' and complete our mission." Lin Yu said.
They took firm steps and continued to move forward.
