Chapter 740 The sound is like thunder 1
Lin Ze's voice echoed in the empty field like thunder. His teammates heard his shout and responded in unison, "Good!"
Then, they each used their own unique skills and rushed towards the hideous monster like a gust of wind. For a moment, swords and sabers flashed, spells shone, and various attacks fell on the monster like raindrops.
However, this monster's skin was extremely tough, like steel. Although the attacks from everyone were intensive, the damage caused to it was minimal.
Just as everyone was getting anxious, the rune protecting everyone suddenly made a "crackling" sound, and the light began to dim. Obviously, the rune cast by the old man was gradually unable to withstand the powerful force of the monster.
Seeing that the monster was about to break through the rune's defense line, everyone's heart was in their throat.
At this critical moment, the ancient book that the old man had been holding tightly in his hand suddenly seemed to come to life, broke free from the old man's hand and floated in the air.
Then, the pages of the ancient book seemed to be turned by an invisible force, and they turned rapidly. Each page flashed with a faint light, which gradually gathered together to form a more powerful beam of light.
The beam of light shot straight towards the monster like lightning.
There was a loud bang, and the beam hit the monster accurately. The monster let out a shrill howl, and its body trembled violently, and a black smoke rose from its body.
Obviously, this beam of light caused great damage to the monster.
Seeing this, everyone immediately seized the opportunity and launched another fierce attack without hesitation. The light of various skills and weapons intertwined together to form a gorgeous rainbow, which smashed fiercely at the monster.
Under the combined siege of everyone, the monster finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground. As it fell, its huge body shrank rapidly like a deflated ball, and finally turned into a ball of black smoke, slowly dissipating into the air.
After completing its mission, the miraculous ancient book slowly floated back into the old man's hands. The light on the ancient book gradually dimmed, returning to its original appearance.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxing.
Lin Ze walked carefully to the old man's side, staring at the ancient book as if it were a rare treasure. His eyes were full of curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask: "Senior, what kind of treasure is this ancient book? How could it have such a powerful power?"
The old man smiled and gently stroked the cover of the ancient book, as if he was communicating with an old friend. His voice was low and solemn: "This ancient book is a secret treasure passed down from generation to generation in our clan. It contains powerful spells to restrain this kind of evil creatures. Just now, it sensed the approach of danger and automatically activated its own power to protect us."
When everyone heard this, they were all amazed. They were both awed and curious about the mysterious power of this ancient book, and gathered around, wanting to take a peek at its secrets.
At this moment, Xiao Li, the teammate who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "But why did this monster suddenly appear? Is there some other unknown secret?" His words were like a flash of lightning that cut through everyone's thoughts and made everyone fall into deep thought.
The old man frowned slightly, as if he was also thinking about this question. After a while, he slowly said: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. The appearance of this monster is by no means accidental. I suspect that there may be a mysterious force hidden behind it, secretly controlling everything. We must find out the purpose and source of this force as soon as possible to prevent more people from being hurt."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Their eyes met, revealing a firm determination. No matter how rough the road ahead was, they were determined to uncover the mystery and protect more people from the harm of evil spirits.
So they quickly packed their bags and, under the guidance of the old man, resolutely embarked on a new journey to find the truth.
They walked along a narrow and deep path, surrounded by lush trees that seemed to hide countless secrets.
Suddenly, a sinister laugh came from the depths of the woods. Everyone stopped vigilantly and tightened their weapons.
I saw a short, ugly dwarf slowly walking out of the woods, his eyes flashing with strange light and holding a black staff in his hand.
"Do you think everything will be fine after defeating that monster? How naive!" The dwarf sneered, "That monster is just a minion of my master. The real challenge is still to come!"
Lin Ze took a step forward, his voice exploding in the air like thunder: "Who are you? Who is your master? Why did you send these evil creatures to attack us?"
Facing Lin Ze's questioning, the dwarf showed a disdainful smile on his face. He curled his lips slightly and said in a contemptuous tone: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you will soon become the sacrifice of my master!" Before he finished speaking, he violently waved the staff in his hand and muttered something.
As the dwarf's spell sounded, the surrounding trees began to twist and deform as if controlled by a mysterious force. The originally straight trunks became bent, the branches stretched out like tentacles, and the leaves rustled, as if making strange laughter. In the blink of an eye, these trees turned into huge vines, and they were like a group of ferocious beasts, entwining with everyone with bared fangs and claws.
Seeing this, everyone screamed and quickly scattered. They each used their own skills to fight against these terrifying vines. Lin Ze held his long sword tightly with both hands, concentrating all his strength on the blade. He shouted and swung the sword fiercely. The sword flashed and several thick vines were broken.
However, this was just the beginning. More vines came from all directions like a tide. They seemed endless. No matter how hard everyone tried to resist, they could not stop their advance. Just as everyone was gradually falling into despair, the old man who had been silent all the time suddenly opened the ancient book in his hand.
In an instant, a dazzling light shot out from the ancient book, piercing the darkness like lightning. Wherever this light passed, the originally ferocious vines seemed to have their vitality sucked away, withering in an instant and losing their vitality.
The dwarf's face changed when he saw his attack was easily broken. He obviously did not expect the ancient book in the old man's hand to be so powerful. He did not dare to delay for a moment, and turned around like a frightened rabbit, quickly running into the woods, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
