Chapter 701: Encouraged
Just as they were struggling to hold on, Lin Ze suddenly remembered the rune fragment he had been carrying with him.
He reached out and took it out without hesitation. In an instant, the rune fragment burst into dazzling light, and a mysterious and powerful force poured into his body like a torrent.
Lin Ze suddenly felt his whole body filled with strength. His eyes became extremely firm, and he rushed towards the monster again without fear.
Seeing this, the man was also encouraged, and followed closely, launching a fierce attack on the monster together with Lin Ze.
The two men, one on the left and one on the right, cooperated tacitly, and attacked the monster like a torrential rain. The monster was beaten back again and again, and it was obviously at a disadvantage.
However, the monster was unwilling to be defeated, and it was so angry that it used its last trick. It emitted a strange black light all over its body, and the entire castle began to shake violently, as if it could collapse at any time.
Lin Ze and the man looked at each other, and they both saw determination and courage in each other's eyes. Without any hesitation, they attacked at the same time, concentrating all their strength on one point, forming an extremely powerful shock wave, and bombarded the monster's vitals directly.
There was a loud bang, and the monster howled in pain, and its huge body fell to the ground. At the same time, the skeleton soldiers who were besieging them seemed to have lost their support and disappeared into thin air.
The castle finally returned to peace. Lin Ze and the man panted tiredly and smiled at each other. Although they had gone through hardships, they seemed to be one step closer to the truth.
Just when they thought the battle was over, the fallen monster suddenly turned into a ball of black mist and quickly condensed into a human shape.
This was actually a mysterious man in a black robe. He smiled sinisterly: "Do you think you can defeat me like this? Too naive." After that, he waved his hands, and countless sharp blades appeared out of thin air around him and shot towards them.
Lin Ze and the man dodged quickly like ghosts. However, the powerful attack followed them closely.
Lin Ze frowned and activated the power of the rune fragment again without hesitation. The rune fragment instantly burst into a dazzling light and quickly condensed into a solid shield, which abruptly resisted the fatal blow.
However, the mysterious man did not seem to give up. He raised his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, and then waved his hands, summoning another violent gust of wind. The gust of wind swept in like a raging wave, and Lin Ze and the man felt a huge force hitting them hard, making them unstable and almost blown away.
At this critical moment, the man suddenly reached into his arms and pulled out an ancient compass. He muttered something, and the compass seemed to be given life and began to emit a strange light. The light became brighter and brighter, and finally formed a powerful energy barrier, which collided violently with the strong wind.
Lin Ze took the opportunity to stabilize his body and stared at the mysterious man with a sharp gaze. He saw the right moment, and his body flashed suddenly, rushing towards the mysterious man like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he and the mysterious man were in close contact, and a thrilling close combat began.
Seeing this, the man followed without hesitation. The two of them cooperated well and the fight was difficult to determine.
The mysterious man gradually became exhausted, his breathing became rapid, and his movements were no longer as smooth as before. Suddenly, his eyes became fierce, as if he had made a decisive decision.
He waved his hands violently, and the magic power around him seemed to be ignited and boiled instantly. Then, he detonated the magic power without hesitation, wanting to die with Lin Ze and the man.
At this critical moment, the rune fragment seemed to sense danger and suddenly burst out with a stronger light. The light was as dazzling as the sun, and quickly spread out to form a huge protective shield, tightly enveloping Lin Ze and the man.
There was a loud bang, and the shock wave of the explosion hit the protective shield fiercely. The protective shield trembled violently, but it did not break.
When the aftermath of the explosion gradually dissipated, Lin Ze and the man slowly opened their eyes. They looked around and found that the mysterious man had disappeared without a trace.
However, they all knew in their hearts that this adventure to find the truth had just begun.
Lin Ze looked at the rune fragment in his hand whose light was gradually fading, and his heart was filled with relief. If it weren't for it, he would have been in great danger this time.
The man put away the compass and said solemnly: "This mysterious man is very powerful, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind him." Lin Ze nodded, his eyes firm: "No matter what, we must uncover the truth."
At this moment, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the ground of the castle, and a dark green mist poured out from it.
Some blurry figures vaguely emerged from the mist. They were the skeleton soldiers that had disappeared before, but this time they exuded a more evil aura.
After Lin Ze and the man exchanged a glance, they both saw alertness and vigilance in each other's eyes. They quickly adjusted their postures, squatted slightly, and held their weapons tightly with both hands, ready for the upcoming battle.
At this moment, the motionless skeleton soldiers suddenly seemed to be given life and began to pounce on them with their fangs and claws bared. The skeleton soldiers moved extremely fast, and their bones made a crackling sound, as if they wanted to tear Lin Ze and the man to pieces.
Faced with such a fierce attack, Lin Ze and the man did not retreat at all. They took a deep breath, and then stepped forward without hesitation, engaging in a thrilling fight with the skeleton soldiers.
The rune fragment in Lin Ze's hand flickered with a faint light, and every swing released a powerful energy to repel the approaching skeleton soldiers. The man skillfully used the ancient compass to guide the flow of energy around him, forming a barrier to resist the attacks of the skeleton soldiers.
Even so, the number of skeleton soldiers was too large, and they seemed to have no signs of fatigue, pouring out of the cracks continuously. The pressure on Lin Ze and the men was increasing, and the situation was becoming more and more critical.
Just when they were about to collapse, Lin Ze suddenly felt a burst of warmth coming from the rune fragments, and then the fragments glowed brightly, and a huge rune formation condensed in front of him.
Rays of light shot out from the magic circle, and wherever they went, the skeleton soldiers were turned into dust.
The man's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw this, and he took this opportunity to activate the compass with all his strength to attract the remaining skeleton soldiers together.
Lin Ze stood in front of the rune array, staring at the skeleton soldiers in front of him, waiting for the perfect opportunity. Finally, he saw a flaw in the skeleton soldiers' attack, and he manipulated the rune array without hesitation, releasing a super strong energy wave.
