Chapter 678 Not to be outdone
The warriors were not to be outdone and used their weapons to fight the monsters. However, the phantom monsters were numerous and very ferocious, and the crowd gradually became unable to resist.
At this moment, Lin Ze keenly noticed that these monsters seemed to be obviously afraid of a certain light. An idea flashed through his mind instantly, this might be the key to their breakthrough.
So, Lin Ze shouted without hesitation: "Everyone gather together!" When everyone heard his shout, although they didn't understand why, they quickly gathered together.
Then, Lin Ze took out a gem that emitted a dazzling light. He held the gem high up and let its light shine on the monsters.
Surprisingly, when the light of the gem shone on the monsters, they actually retreated a few steps as if they had encountered their natural enemies.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately understood Lin Ze's intention, and cooperated with him, gathering the light of the pearls into a powerful beam of light, shooting directly at the group of monsters.
Oppressed by this powerful light, the monsters could no longer resist and were driven back one after another.
The first test was successfully overcome by everyone.
However, before everyone had time to catch their breath, the second test came.
The originally pitch-black environment suddenly became distorted, and countless space cracks spread out in the darkness like a spider web.
What's even more terrifying is that from these space cracks, strange energy waves continuously gushed out, like surging waves, sweeping straight towards everyone.
Faced with this sudden change, Lin Ze remained calm. He quickly directed everyone to disperse and find a safe place to hide.
At the same time, he carefully observed the movement trajectories of these energy waves, trying to find a way to crack them.
After some observation, Lin Ze finally discovered the pattern of these energy waves. He quickly shouted loudly, asking everyone to move according to the pattern he discovered.
Everyone followed his instructions and successfully avoided most of the energy wave attacks.
However, some energy waves still broke through everyone's defenses and attacked them.
At this critical moment, Lin Ze and the mysterious old man attacked together. They each used the power of the five elements and cooperated with each other to successfully offset the remaining energy waves.
The second test was also successfully passed with everyone's joint efforts.
However, what awaits them next will be the most severe third test...
While everyone was still immersed in the joy of passing the second test, a huge stone gate suddenly appeared in front of them. The stone gate was engraved with mysterious runes and emitted a cold light.
The stone door slowly opened, revealing endless darkness inside, with a faint low roar coming from it.
As soon as everyone stepped in, the ground began to shake violently, and a group of huge stone beasts broke out of the ground. They exuded the smell of hard rocks, and every attack could cause the ground to crack.
Lin Ze stared at the stone beast in front of him with a sharp gaze. His brain was working rapidly, analyzing every movement and feature of the stone beast. After some observation, he suddenly found that the stone beast's eyes were its fatal weakness.
"Concentrate your firepower and attack its eyes!" Lin Ze gave the order to the soldiers without hesitation. The soldiers responded immediately and focused all their attacks on the stone beast's eyes.
At the same time, Lin Ze and the mysterious old man looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then simultaneously exerted the power of the five elements. The power of the five elements intertwined with each other, forming a powerful elemental storm that swept in like a violent storm and hit the stone beast fiercely.
The stone beast roared under the double attack, but its movements were obviously disturbed, becoming slow and clumsy. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the stone beasts fell one by one, and the originally solid defense line was finally broken.
"Great, we succeeded!" the soldiers cheered excitedly.
However, just when they thought they were about to pass the test, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from deep inside the stone gate. The cheers of the crowd stopped abruptly, and they all looked towards the stone gate vigilantly.
A mysterious man covered in a black robe walked out slowly. His figure was completely covered by the black robe, making it impossible to see his face. He waved his hands, and a powerful magic barrier instantly appeared in front of everyone, trapping them inside.
"What's going on?" the soldiers shouted in panic.
Lin Ze frowned. He felt that the power of this magic barrier was very strong and it was constantly shrinking, as if it was going to crush them to death.
"It seems that this is the real challenge of the third test..." Lin Ze muttered to himself.
Lin Ze took a deep breath and began to mobilize the five elements in his body, trying to break through the magic barrier. The mysterious old man also joined in and fought against Lin Ze. However, the magic barrier did not move at all, but shrank faster. Seeing this, the warriors took out their weapons and tried to break the barrier by force, but the weapons were bounced back when they touched the barrier.
Just when everyone was feeling desperate, Lin Ze suddenly remembered the mysterious runes he had seen on the stone gate. He carefully recalled the appearance of the runes and found that they were somewhat similar to the patterns on the magic barrier. Lin Ze guessed that perhaps the key to cracking the magic barrier was in these runes. He told the mysterious old man about his discovery, and the two began to study the mystery of the runes.
After some effort, they finally found the flaw in the rune. Lin Ze and the mysterious old man simultaneously used the powerful power of the five elements to attack the flaw. With a "boom", the magic barrier was broken.
The mysterious man in black robe was surprised to see the barrier broken. But he quickly calmed down, waved his hands again, and summoned more powerful magic to attack everyone. Lin Ze and the others were not afraid, and joined forces again to fight. A more intense battle was about to begin...
Lin Ze and everyone else were trying their best to resist the magical attacks from the mysterious man in black robe. For a moment, energy overflowed and the battle was fierce.
The mysterious old man suddenly had an idea and shouted to Lin Ze: "Every time before he casts magic, his left hand will make subtle movements. Let's seize the opportunity to interrupt him!" Lin Ze's eyes flashed when he heard this.
When the mysterious man's left hand moved slightly again, Lin Ze suddenly shot out a sharp five-element sword energy. The mysterious man was disturbed by the sword energy, and his magic offensive suddenly stagnated.
Everyone seized the opportunity and launched a fierce counterattack.
Although the mysterious man was a little embarrassed, he quickly steadied himself and even used the art of clones to create several of his own in an instant.
This made everyone panic, not knowing who to attack.
Lin Ze observed calmly and found that the aura of one of the clones was slightly different. He shouted, "Attack that!" Everyone followed his instructions and concentrated their firepower. Sure enough, the attacked clone gradually dissipated. It turned out that this was the real body.
The mysterious man was furious and prepared to make a desperate attempt to use forbidden magic.
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly shot out from above the stone gate, freezing the mysterious man.
A voice was heard: "The test is over, you passed." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A difficult test finally came to an end.
