Chapter 164 Attacked by a Black Bear
Upon hearing his warning, everyone reacted quickly, huddling together to form a tight defensive circle and jointly resist the sudden attacks.
Huan Yuechu suddenly waved her hands, and a dazzling light shot out from her hands.
The beam of light streaked across the void like lightning, striking the menacing tree branches with unerring accuracy.
A series of crackling sounds rang out, and the strange branches temporarily retreated under the impact of the light.
But the good times didn't last long. Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the surrounding fog suddenly became even thicker, like a thick white curtain that enveloped everyone.
In an instant, everyone's vision was completely blocked, and all that was left in front of them was a white, chaotic blur, making it impossible to see the road ahead or the surrounding situation.
Suddenly, a deafening roar of a bear came from the valley, as if it would shatter people's eardrums.
Immediately afterwards, an enormous black bear burst out from the thick, impenetrable fog!
This black bear is as large as a mountain, covered with a thick layer of black fur that gleams with a chilling luster.
Its large, copper-bell-shaped eyes gleamed with a chilling light, like two burning will-o'-the-wisps, staring intently at everyone present, exuding a terrifying and malevolent aura.
Faced with such a terrifying beast, Huan Yuechu showed no fear. She took a step forward without hesitation, her posture as upright as a pine tree, her beautiful eyes showing no fear whatsoever.
At the same time, her fair, jade-like hands began to emanate strong spiritual energy fluctuations, clearly indicating that she was ready to confront the ferocious black bear head-on.
Standing beside Huan Yuechu, Xu Yan gripped her weapon tightly, intently watching the black bear's every move.
Seeing this, the others quickly sprang into action, adjusting their postures and entering combat readiness.
Just then, the black bear let out a deafening roar, opened its blood-red maw, and charged towards the group with a gust of foul wind.
In the blink of an eye, Huan Yuechu slightly shifted her body and easily dodged the black bear's thunderous pounce.
Then, taking advantage of the moment when the black bear missed its target, she swung a heavy punch, slamming it hard into the bear's soft belly.
The black bear, struck hard, roared in agony. Its roar echoed through the forest, startling the birds and beasts around it into scattering and fleeing.
Enraged, the black bear began to wreak havoc everywhere. Its thick, powerful paws swept across the area like whips made of steel, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.
Seeing this, no one dared to be negligent in the slightest. They all lowered their heads and bent over, narrowly avoiding this fatal blow.
However, just when everyone was struggling to cope, Su Jinyan, who had been calmly observing the situation, finally found an opportunity.
With lightning speed, he threw out an incredibly strong rope, which accurately lassoed one of the black bear's paws.
The black bear struggled desperately, but Su Jinyan's rope was exceptionally strong, and it was unable to break free for a time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huan Yuechu took a deep breath and continuously gathered all the spiritual power in her body into her palms.
As she chanted incantations, a complex and obscure incantation came out of her mouth.
In an instant, a dazzling light shot out from her palm, like lightning piercing the night sky, and rushed straight towards the black bear that was still struggling.
After being struck by the light, the black bear let out a final, mournful howl before its entire body instantly turned into a thick cloud of smoke, dissipating into the air without a trace.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake violently without warning!
This sudden turn of events made everyone's hearts leap into their throats once again.
Everyone looked down at the ground in horror, only to see a huge stone door slowly rising from the spot where the black bear had appeared.
This stone door looks very old, and it is covered with all kinds of ancient and mysterious runes.
These runes shimmered with a faint light, as if telling a story of an unknown history.
Upon seeing this, Wen Xingyu stepped forward without hesitation and approached the stone door to carefully examine the runes.
Her bright eyes were fixed on the patterns and symbols on the door, trying to find clues to unlock the mysterious stone door.
Time passed slowly, and after a difficult period of exploration, her hard work finally paid off, and she successfully found a way to open the stone door.
With a dull thud, the stone gate slowly moved to both sides under the tense gaze of everyone.
As the stone door opened completely, a strange force surged out from behind it, like an invisible torrent impacting everyone present.
The group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with both curiosity about the unknown and deep wariness.
However, curiosity eventually overcame fear, and everyone took a deep breath and cautiously stepped into the stone gate.
Upon entering the stone gate, the scene before them left everyone speechless and greatly shocked.
It turned out that countless crystals emitting a faint glow were floating in the space behind the door.
These crystals vary in size and shape, and they adorn the entire space like brilliant stars in the night sky.
Even more amazing is that each crystal seems to contain a unique memory or some mysterious and powerful force.
Looking at the dreamlike scene before her, Huan Yuechu involuntarily reached out her right hand and gently touched one of the crystals.
The instant the fingertip touched the crystal, a dazzling light suddenly shone.
Immediately afterwards, Huan Yuechu stood there blankly, motionless, as if she had lost her soul.
The others were shocked by what they saw and rushed forward to see what had happened.
As the situation around them grew increasingly dangerous, Wen Xingyu and Xu Yan were extremely anxious, their faces filled with worry. They shouted Huan Yuechu's name at the top of their lungs.
Just then, Huan Yuechu, who had been in a coma, suddenly opened her eyes as if struck by lightning.
Her eyes were filled with terror and shock, as if she had just witnessed an extremely horrific scene.
She was panting heavily, her body trembling uncontrollably.
After a long while, Huan Yuechu finally calmed down a little, but her face was still as pale as paper.
She spoke in a heavy voice, "Here...here lies a huge secret, a secret that may not only concern this area we are in now, but may even affect the entire Mysterious Mountain!"
