Chapter 329: Curse Seal
Li Zhao and the old man's faces were pale and their bodies were trembling slightly. Their eyes were fixed on the black bead floating on the stone platform, as if it was a demon from hell, emitting a terrifying aura.
Outside the cave, the eerie laughter lingered in their ears like a ghost, lingering for a long time.
Every laugh was like a heavy hammer, hitting their already tense nerves and making their heartbeats even more violent.
"That laughter..." Li Zhao's voice trembled. He clenched his teeth tightly and squeezed out a word, "The dark forces must still be watching us in the dark."
His eyes were filled with resentment and vigilance, and filled with resentment towards this evil force hidden in the dark.
The old man's expression was equally solemn. He nodded slowly and said in a deep voice:
"My child, the secret of this bead is much more complicated than we expected. We must be doubly careful and not let our guard down even a little."
Although his voice was calm, he could not hide the worry in it.
Li Zhao tried hard to calm himself down.
In this situation, fear and panic will only put them in more dangerous situations.
He calmed himself down and looked at the runes on the stone platform again.
Although he had just experienced a thrilling crisis, he knew very well that there was no way out now. The only way to find a way to deal with the dark forces was to continue exploring the secret of the bead.
He squatted down and held the purification crystal close to the rune, trying to use its power to further decipher it.
In the soft glow of the purifying crystal, the runes seemed to flicker slightly, like some kind of ancient response.
Li Zhao looked carefully and found that the runes he had previously deciphered about controlling power now had a new connection with the surrounding runes.
The originally isolated lines seemed to come alive in an instant, interweaving and extending with each other, gradually outlining a more grand and complex pattern.
"Senior, look! These runes seem to have changed!"
Li Zhao shouted excitedly, his voice revealing an excitement that he could hardly suppress.
Hearing Li Zhao's cry, the old man hurried over, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring at the runes.
His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was trying to decipher the changes in the runes.
I saw that the runes that were originally still began to slowly deform.
They seemed to be driven by a mysterious force, gradually twisting and flowing, and finally revealing some familiar symbols.
These symbols were strikingly similar to the ancient symbols they had seen before in the Dark Portal and the Fragment Light, as if they were different variations of the same ancient script.
"Could this be... a higher-level sealing instruction?"
The old man muttered to himself, his voice full of doubt and thought.
Li Zhao's heart moved. He stared at the runes and suddenly had a strong intuition telling him that there must be some connection between these runes.
He gathered himself, then concentrated all his energy, immersing his consciousness in the power of the ancient symbols within the fragments.
The moment his consciousness came into contact with the power of the ancient symbol, he felt a powerful energy surge into his body like a torrent.
He channeled this energy without hesitation, fusing it with the power of the runes before him.
At the moment when the two powers began to merge, the runes on the stone platform suddenly burst out with dazzling light, as bright as the sun.
The bright light shot out from the center of the rune, like a sharp arrow, pointing straight at the wall of the stone chamber.
The two looked in the direction of the light and saw the outline of a hidden stone door slowly emerging on the wall. The surface of the stone door was engraved with runes similar to those on the stone platform, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
Li Zhao and the old man looked at each other, and a hint of expectation and determination flashed in each other's eyes. They walked towards the stone gate.
Just as they were about to approach the stone gate, there was a sudden violent vibration outside the cave. The whole cave shook and stone chips fell.
A deafening roar was heard, and a huge black shadow rushed in from the entrance of the cave.
The black shadow was as big as a mountain, covered with black scales, emitting a strong dark aura, and a pair of huge red eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light. It was a powerful dark monster.
"Oh no! The dark forces have sent monsters to stop us!"
The old man exclaimed. Li Zhao quickly drew out the Sword of Purification, and the sword shone brightly, forming a sharp contrast with the dark aura emitted by the dark beast.
The dark monster roared and swung its huge claws towards them, bringing up a strong black whirlwind.
Li Zhao flashed and cleverly avoided the monster's attack. At the same time, he swung the Sword of Purification and a golden sword energy slashed towards the monster.
The sword energy hit the monster, but only left a shallow mark on its scales. The monster did not seem to be seriously hurt. Instead, it was enraged and attacked even more frantically.
The old man assisted with all his strength. He waved his broken crutch, releasing rays of light, trying to interfere with the monster's actions.
But the monsters were too powerful, and their attacks could only cause limited damage to them.
During the fierce battle, Li Zhao discovered that there seemed to be some subtle connection between the attack rhythm of the monsters and the flickering light of the runes on the stone platform.
Whenever the rune's light becomes stronger, the monster's attack will become more fierce.
"Senior, this monster's attack seems to be related to runes!"
Li Zhao shouted while dodging the monster's attack.
The old man quickly observed the runes and the movements of the monster, nodded and said, "Indeed, perhaps we can use this to deal with it. You try to control the power of the runes, and I will attract the monster's attention!"
Li Zhao concentrated his mind and once again gathered the power of the purification crystals, fragments and other treasures, trying to control the actions of the monsters through runes.
He stared at the rune, muttering something, and as he spoke, the rune began to flicker rhythmically.
The old man waved his broken crutch and shouted at the monster, successfully attracting its attention.
The monster roared, turned around and pounced on the old man. Just as the monster was about to attack the old man, Li Zhao successfully controlled the monster's movements through runes.
The monster's body suddenly stopped, and its originally ferocious attack came to an abrupt halt. Its huge body twisted in pain on the spot.
Seeing this, Li Zhao immediately increased his control over the rune power, trying to completely subdue the monster.
Another sinister laugh was heard from outside the cave: "Humph, you think you can control my monster like this? How naive!"
As the laughter sounded, a powerful dark force surged into the cave, instantly breaking Li Zhao's control over the runes.
The monster broke free from its restraints and pounced towards them even more frantically, with the murderous intent in its eyes becoming more intense.
Li Zhao and the old man fell into an unprecedented predicament. The monsters' attacks became more and more fierce, and the enemy hidden in the darkness seemed ready to give them a fatal blow at any time.
