Chapter 742: Obscure Spell
Lin Ze muttered something, and obscure spells squeezed out from his teeth and echoed in the air. As the sound of his spell became louder and louder, the ancient book suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light, like a golden sun, tightly enveloping the monster.
The monster covered by the light seemed to be under a spell of immobilization, and its movements became slower and slower, and finally it completely stopped. Seeing this, Lin Ze seized the opportunity without hesitation and used all his strength to stab the long knife in the monster's eyes.
With a "puff" sound, the long knife sank deeply into the monster's eye socket, and a stream of black blood gushed out and splashed on Lin Ze's body. The monster let out a final roar, the sound was deafening, as if the whole world was shaking. Then, its huge body seemed to have lost its support and fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Seeing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground like deflated balls. Lin Ze was no exception. All his strength seemed to be drained away in an instant, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
He looked at the huge monster corpse in front of him, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart. Although the battle was finally won, each of them paid a heavy price for it. His teammates were more or less injured, and he himself felt exhausted.
However, they all knew clearly that this was just the beginning. The forces behind the dwarfs would never give up, and there must be more powerful means waiting for them.
Just as everyone took a breath, the fallen monster's body began to wriggle, and black mist emanated from its wounds.
"Oh no, something's wrong!" Lin Ze shouted and forced his tired body to stand up again.
The black mist that originally filled the air quickly condensed together as if being pulled by some force. In the blink of an eye, a vague figure appeared in front of everyone. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the phantom of the dwarf!
The appearance of this dwarf phantom made everyone present gasp. Its sharp laughter was particularly harsh in this silent environment, as if the evil spirits from hell were laughing at their arrogance.
"Do you think it will be over if you kill it? How naive! The real revenge has just begun!" The voice of the dwarf phantom echoed in everyone's ears, making people shudder.
Before he finished speaking, the ground around him suddenly began to tremble violently, as if some huge force was surging underground. Then, cracks appeared on the ground, and countless black tentacles emerged from the ground, like the arms of a demon, pouncing at everyone with their fangs and claws bared.
Everyone was frightened by this sudden change and panicked. They struggled desperately to break free from the tentacles. However, these tentacles were extremely tough and no matter how hard they tried, they could not break free.
Seeing this, Lin Ze took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then recited the ancient spell again. As he recited, the light on the ancient book, which had originally dimmed, suddenly lit up again. Although the light was weak, it still flashed with golden brilliance.
Just when the tentacles were about to completely devour everyone, a mysterious light suddenly descended from the sky, like the light of dawn, instantly dispersing the black tentacles and dwarf phantoms.
After the light faded, a mysterious figure appeared in front of everyone. He was dressed in a black robe, hiding his face in the shadows, revealing only a pair of deep and sharp eyes, as if he could see through everything.
"I'm here to lend you a helping hand." The mysterious man's voice was deep and magnetic. "However, there is still a long way to go. You must be prepared to face greater challenges."
Lin Ze and the others looked at this mysterious man, feeling both surprised and puzzled. They didn't know who this mysterious man was and why he suddenly appeared here to help them. However, in this world full of unknowns and dangers, it is always good to have one more helper.
A new adventure seems to be slowly beginning under the guidance of this mysterious man...
Lin Ze suppressed his doubts and clasped his fists to thank the mysterious man: "Thank you for your help, but I don't know why you are here?"
The mysterious man raised his lips slightly and shook his head with a smile, but he did not answer the question directly. Instead, he said in a serious tone: "No need to say more, time is running out, we must leave this place immediately. The power behind the dwarfs is extremely large, and they will soon notice the abnormal situation here. By then, I am afraid that more powerful enemies will follow."
When everyone heard this, their faces became solemn. Knowing that the situation was critical, they did not dare to delay for even a second and followed the mysterious man, quickly evacuating the scene.
Along the way, the mysterious man walked steadily, as if strolling in a garden, but every step was just right, as if he was fully aware of the changes in the surrounding environment. He could always foresee potential threats before the danger came, and cleverly lead everyone to avoid them.
Everyone was deeply impressed by the mysterious man's abilities, and their anxiety was slightly alleviated.
After a quick journey, they finally came to a secluded valley, which was an excellent hiding place with high mountains, dense forests and dangerous terrain.
The mysterious man stopped, turned around and faced everyone, and said slowly: "This place is temporarily safe, you can rest here for a while. I will go to the front to investigate the situation of that force and see if there are any new movements."
Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant like a ghost, at such a speed that it was astonishing.
Lin Ze stared at the direction where the mysterious man left, and a strong determination surged in his heart. He secretly vowed that no matter how rough and difficult the road ahead was, he would go forward side by side with his teammates, uncover the secrets behind it, and defeat the evil force.
Lin Ze asked his teammates to rest on the spot and recover their strength, while he began to set up simple defenses around the valley.
Just as he was busy, a teammate suddenly shouted: "Oh no, there is poisonous fog!" I saw a faint green mist spreading from one side of the valley.
Everyone immediately became alert and drew their weapons.
Lin Ze secretly thought that it was not good. The poisonous fog was coming fiercely and spreading rapidly like a rolling black cloud. It was obviously a carefully planned method by the enemy. In the blink of an eye, the poisonous fog enveloped everyone, making their vision blurred and breathing difficult.
Just as everyone was panicking, a figure suddenly appeared like a ghost. The mysterious man quickly formed seals with his hands, and his movements were as smooth as flowing water. With a low shout from him, a wind blade rushed out like lightning, with a fierce momentum, instantly tearing the poisonous fog apart.
