Chapter 507: Echoes for a Long Time
As soon as they stepped through the door, a dazzling light flashed by, and when they adjusted to it, they found themselves in a strange space. Various shining runes were suspended in the air, and under their feet were veins flowing with spiritual energy.
Lin Ze curiously reached out and touched a rune. Instantly, a huge force surged into his body. He quickly used his skills to absorb it. Seeing this, the woman also tried to touch it, but was bounced away by the rune. Lin Ze hurried over to check, and the woman looked frustrated.
Just as Lin Ze was whispering to comfort the woman, the space around him began to shake violently without any warning. In an instant, countless black shadows rushed out from every corner like a surging tide.
These black shadows looked hideous and ferocious, like evil spirits from the Netherworld. They opened their bloody mouths, waved their sharp claws, and pounced towards Lin Ze and the woman with great momentum.
Seeing this, Lin Ze grabbed the woman without hesitation and tried desperately to dodge the black shadows that were attacking like a storm. However, the speed of these black shadows was too fast, like black lightning, leaving people no time to react.
The situation was extremely critical! At this critical moment, Lin Ze had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he suddenly recalled the powerful power that the mysterious rune had just poured into his body. So, he made a prompt decision and concentrated on trying to guide this power and transform it into an indestructible shield.
In a flash, a shield shining with a faint light instantly formed in front of Lin Ze. The shield was like a solid wall, firmly resisting the fierce attack of the shadows.
Seeing that the shield successfully blocked the attack of the black shadows, Lin Ze was overjoyed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he swung the sword in his hand without hesitation and slashed at the black shadows fiercely. For a moment, the sword light flashed, the sword shadows flew, and only shrill screams were heard. Under Lin Ze's fierce attack, the black shadows were chopped to pieces and turned into wisps of black smoke that dissipated in the air.
Finally, as the last black shadow disappeared, the violently shaking space gradually returned to calm. Lin Ze and the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and after a short rest, they continued to explore forward cautiously.
As they walked, they suddenly saw a huge crystal tree standing not far ahead. The tree was lush and leafy, transparent, like a fine work of art. What was even more surprising was that the tree was densely covered with crystal clear fruits that exuded an attractive luster. Each fruit seemed to contain a very rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Just by looking at it, people could feel a fresh and mellow breath blowing towards them.
Seeing so many precious fruits, Lin Ze and the woman could not help but be delighted and excited. They could not wait to get closer and began to discuss how to pick these fruits smoothly.
However, just as the two were discussing excitedly, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the ground beneath their feet without any warning. Then, a deafening roar resounded through the sky, and a spirit snake as big as a mountain suddenly jumped out from the crack.
The snake was covered with a layer of hard scales like armor, its eyes flashed with scarlet fierce light, and blazing flames spewed out of its mouth, looking extremely ferocious and terrifying. Obviously, it was not easy to get those delicious and spiritual fruits, and a thrilling battle was inevitable. Facing this sudden strong enemy, Lin Ze and the woman did not dare to be negligent. They quickly grasped their weapons, stared at the snake with full concentration, and waited for it.
Lin Ze took the lead in attacking. He rushed towards the spirit snake like lightning, and stabbed the spirit snake's vital point with the sword in his hand. But the spirit snake reacted very quickly, twisting its body to avoid the fatal blow, and at the same time, its tail swept across.
Lin Ze stepped back hastily, and the woman took the opportunity to throw the whip in her hand and entangle one of the snake's eyes.
The snake felt pain and shook its head angrily, pulling the woman all over the place.
At this critical moment, Lin Ze's eyes were as sharp as torches, staring closely at the snake's every move, accurately capturing the flaw in its defense. He took a deep breath, and his figure flashed suddenly, rushing towards the snake again like an arrow from a bow. At the same time, the spiritual power in his body flowed continuously to the sword in his hand like a surging torrent. The sword was instantly covered by a dazzling spiritual light, emitting a powerful aura that made people's heart palpitate.
"Ha!" With Lin Ze's angry shout, he raised his sword with both hands and stabbed the snake's belly with all his strength. In an instant, there was a loud bang, and the sword sank straight into the snake's body like a flash of lightning. The severely injured snake let out a shrill hiss, and its huge body twisted and rolled in pain, with blazing flames spewing from its mouth, shooting wildly in all directions.
Facing such a fierce fire, Lin Ze and the woman beside him were not panicked at all. They were agile and moved left and right, skillfully avoiding the deadly flames. At this moment, the already ferocious spirit snake became even more violent because of the severe pain. Its eyes were so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood. It completely ignored its own injuries and pounced on Lin Ze and the woman like crazy.
In a flash, Lin Ze grabbed the woman's arm and pulled her aside. The next moment, the huge body of the spirit snake hit a crystal tree not far away. The crystal tree shook violently, and countless crystal fruits hanging on the branches fell like rain.
Lin Ze and the woman looked at each other in tacit understanding, and each understood the next action from the other's eyes. Lin Ze turned around and rushed towards the spirit snake without hesitation, waving the sword in his hand to create sharp sword shadows, successfully attracting the full attention of the spirit snake. Taking this opportunity, the woman quietly went behind the spirit snake, swiftly shuttled between the fruits on the ground, and collected the fallen fruits one by one at the fastest speed.
Soon, the woman successfully completed the collection of fruits. She nodded slightly to Lin Ze who was fighting with the spirit snake. After receiving the signal, a trace of determination flashed in Lin Ze's eyes. He suddenly urged all the remaining spiritual power in his body and displayed his best skills. For a moment, the sword light was like a rainbow, with great momentum, and the spirit snake was forced back several feet away.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Ze did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately ran away with the woman, quickly moving away from this dangerous place. However, even though they had already run far away, they could still hear the angry roar of the spirit snake coming from behind, echoing for a long time in the silent forest.
