Chapter 351 Palace
Su Han and Bi Yao supported each other and walked with heavy steps towards the ancient building that was faintly visible in the mist.
As the distance shortened, the outline of the building became clearer. It was a palace built of huge stones. The walls were covered with dark green moss, exuding the vicissitudes of time.
The door of the hall was half-open, and a faint light shone through the gap, which seemed particularly strange in this mysterious place shrouded in fog.
Su Han tightened the sword in his hand, turned to look at Bi Yao, and said softly:
"Follow me closely for a while, and no matter what happens, don't let go of my hand."
Bi Yao looked pale and nodded vigorously, her little hand tightly clasping Su Han's hand, as if that was her last lifeline.
The two approached the door cautiously, Su Han stretched out his hand and slowly pushed open the heavy door.
"Squeak-"
A long and dull sound echoed in the silent space, startling an unknown echo.
The scene behind the door gradually appeared before their eyes. A faint golden mist filled the hall, casting a mysterious veil over the entire space.
The ground was paved with smooth stone slabs, which were engraved with strange runes. Those runes seemed to be flickering slightly, emitting a faint light.
The hall is surrounded by huge stone pillars, on which are carved all kinds of bizarre creatures. Their eyes seem to be inlaid with gems, flashing a cold luster in the mist, as if they are watching everyone who sets foot here.
Su Han and Bi Yao slowly stepped into the hall. With every step they took, the sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty hall.
Their heartbeats were particularly clear in the silence, as if they were about to jump out of their throats.
Suddenly, Biyao felt her feet slip. She looked down and found that a thin layer of mucus had appeared on the ground at some point, emitting a disgusting smell.
"Su Han, this ground..."
Bi Yao had just opened her mouth, but before she could finish her words, a low roar suddenly sounded in the hall.
The sound seemed to come from all directions, causing pain in their eardrums.
Su Han quickly protected Bi Yao behind him and looked around vigilantly.
I saw several blurry figures gradually emerging from the fog. They were tall, with distorted outlines, and were slowly approaching them.
As the figures gradually became clearer, Su Han saw the appearance of these creatures. They looked like humans, but had twisted limbs and hideous faces. Their skin was dark purple, covered with raised bumps, and emitted a suffocating stench.
The eyes of these creatures flashed blood-red light, revealing endless cruelty and greed.
"Be careful, these things are not easy to deal with!"
Su Han gripped his sword tightly, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness.
He knew very well that retreating in the face of this unknown danger would only put them in deeper trouble.
Those strange creatures let out a sharp roar and pounced towards Su Han and Bi Yao.
Su Han brandished his sword and rushed towards the creature in front.
The sword blade cut through the air with a hissing sound, and collided with the creature's arm, splashing sparks.
The creature roared in pain, then swung its other arm towards Su Han.
Su Han dodged the attack with ease, and at the same time took the opportunity to cut a deep wound on the creature's chest.
Black blood gushed out from the wound, and the creature's movements suddenly slowed down.
But the other creatures showed no sign of retreating. Instead, they pounced on them even more frantically.
Bi Yao watched anxiously from the side. She knew very well that she couldn't help Su Han much, but she didn't want to be a burden to him.
She looked around, trying to find a way to help Su Han.
Suddenly, she found some strange instruments placed in the corner of the hall, including a huge bronze bell engraved with mysterious runes.
Bi Yao's heart moved and she ran towards the bronze bell.
Coming to the bronze bell, she pushed it with all her strength.
The bronze bell made a dull sound, which echoed in the hall. (End of this chapter)
