Chapter 129: Treasure Exploration, Ultimate Success
The cold and damp air was filled with a strong smell of decay. Bi Yao and Li Yuan walked cautiously towards the direction where the roar came from.
On the walls on both sides of the passage, ancient runes flickered with a faint light, as if they would come alive at any time.
The long sword in Li Yuan's hand hummed, and the sword body emitted a sharp cold light, illuminating the road ahead.
The deeper you go, the clearer the roar becomes and the more heart-wrenching it becomes.
It was a roar filled with anger and pain, as if it came from an ancient beast.
Finally, they came to a huge underground cave.
In the center of the cave, a huge monster was crawling on the ground, emitting a suffocating pressure.
It was a monster shaped like a giant lizard, ten feet in size, covered with thick scales and shining with a metallic luster.
One of its eyes was tightly closed, as if it was seriously injured, while the other eye was burning with anger, staring at the two people who broke in.
"Be careful!" Li Yuan shouted softly and protected Bi Yao behind him.
Almost at the same time, the giant lizard suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and a foul-smelling black mist gushed out, heading straight towards the two of them.
Li Yuan swung his sword and released a sharp sword energy, splitting the black fog.
However, after the black fog dissipated, it turned into countless tiny poisonous needles, attacking from all directions.
Li Yuan quickly held Bi Yao in his arms and used his body to block the attack of the poison needle.
"Yao'er, are you okay?"
Bi Yao raised her head from Li Yuan's arms and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you hurt?" Li Yuan's back was covered with poison needles, and his face was pale, but he endured the pain and smiled, saying, "I'm fine, just a minor injury."
Seeing that its attack missed, the monitor lizard became even more angry and let out a deafening roar.
It suddenly stood up, and its huge body brought up a gust of wind as it pounced towards the two of them.
Li Yuan swung his sword and engaged in a fierce fight with the giant lizard.
The giant lizard's power is astonishing, and every attack carries the power to destroy the world.
Although Li Yuan's swordsmanship was superb, he gradually felt that he was unable to keep up.
At this moment, Bi Yao suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up, "Li Yuan! Its left eye!"
Bi Yao remembered that the fragment recorded a technique called "Concentrated Strike", which required the cooperation of two people to gather spiritual power at one point and unleash a powerful force.
"Li Yuan, let's try to concentrate our minds and strike!" Without any hesitation, Li Yuan immediately understood what Bi Yao meant.
The two men sat cross-legged, facing each other, with their palms touching.
Bi Yao silently recited the incantation from the fragment, guiding the spiritual powers in the two people's bodies to merge with each other, forming a powerful energy vortex.
The air in the cave began to vibrate violently, and the runes' flashing light became more dazzling, as if responding to the power surging in their bodies.
The monitor lizard seemed to sense the danger and became restless, making low growls.
A moment later, both of them opened their eyes at the same time, with gleams of light in their eyes.
"Concentrate and strike!" The two men shouted at the same time and suddenly pushed out with both palms.
A dazzling beam of light gushed out from the palms of the two men and hit the giant lizard's left eye.
The monitor lizard let out a shrill scream, its huge body trembled violently, and blood gushed out of its left eye.
It struggled frantically, but could not break free from the restraints of the light column.
The beam of light lasted for a few breaths, then slowly dissipated.
The monitor lizard collapsed to the ground, dying, its left eye completely destroyed.
"Success!" Li Yuan said happily, but his face became even paler. It was obvious that the "Concentrated Attack" consumed a lot of his spiritual power.
Bi Yao supported Li Yuan and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Li Yuan shook his head and forced himself to stand up, but his eyes were fixed on the corpse of the monitor lizard.
"Something's wrong..." he muttered to himself, "This giant lizard... doesn't seem to be completely dead..."
The monitor lizard's corpse suddenly began to tremble violently, and the air around it became increasingly oppressive. An even more terrifying aura was slowly awakening...
"Yao'er..." Li Yuan clenched the sword in his hand, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, "Be careful..."
The monitor lizard's body swelled up, and its scales stood up, as if something was about to break out of its body.
A suffocating pressure swept through the entire cave, and ancient runes flashed wildly, emitting a harsh buzzing sound.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the monitor lizard's body exploded and a black smoke spread out.
After the smoke cleared, a larger and more ferocious figure appeared in front of the two men.
It has a human-like body, but the head and sharp claws of a giant lizard, and exudes a terrifying demonic aura.
"What...what is this?!" Li Yuan asked in horror.
"It seems that what we encountered was only... a part of this monster." Bi Yao's face was solemn, and the dagger in his hand emitted a cold light.
The monster roared to the sky, and a powerful shock wave swept over, knocking the two men back several steps.
Li Yuan steadied his body, swung his sword, and a sharp sword energy flew straight towards the monster.
However, the sword energy seemed to hit an indestructible barrier and instantly dissipated into nothingness.
The monster let out a mocking growl and swung its huge claws at an astonishing speed.
Li Yuan dodged quickly, but was still hit by the claw wind, leaving a deep wound on his chest that could be seen to the bone.
"Li Yuan!" Bi Yao exclaimed, flew up, and the dagger in his hand turned into a stream of light and stabbed into the monster's eyes.
The monster seemed to be afraid of Bi Yao's attack, and suddenly turned its head to avoid the fatal blow.
Bi Yao took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, cutting wounds on the monster's body with his dagger.
However, these wounds were like mosquito bites to the monster's huge body and could not cause any substantial damage.
At this moment, Li Yuan suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Yao'er, attack its abdomen! That's its weak point!"
Upon hearing this, Bi Yao immediately changed the direction of his attack and stabbed the monster's abdomen with his dagger.
"Puchi!" With a light sound, the dagger pierced into the monster's abdomen, and a stream of black liquid gushed out.
The monster let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, never to move again.
The cave returned to calm, with only the rapid breathing of the two people echoing.
Li Yuan walked to Bi Yao and asked with concern: "Yao'er, are you okay?"
Bi Yao shook his head and looked at the monster's corpse on the ground, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.
At this moment, a strange sound came from the depths of the cave, and an ancient and mysterious voice rang in the ears of the two...
"You... woke me up..."
Bi Yao and Li Yuan held hands and stood in the center of the cave. The light around them gradually faded, the ancient runes gradually dimmed, and everything returned to calm.
They turned around and saw the crowd gathered at the entrance of the cave, everyone's face was filled with joy and admiration.
Among the crowd were their common fellow disciples, as well as monks from various backgrounds who had come here to admire their reputation. They all came forward to congratulate Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
"Yaoyao, you guys are really amazing!" A young female monk said excitedly, with admiration shining in her eyes.
"Yes, you defeated the monster. You are truly heroes in our fairy world!" Another cultivator echoed, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Bi Yao smiled slightly and said modestly: "It is because of everyone's support and help that we can succeed."
Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand tightly, his eyes full of pride.
"Yao'er, you are the best. We have been through so many ups and downs together. I will always be with you on the road ahead."
Everyone offered their blessings, and for a moment the cave was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere.
However, Bi Yao and Li Yuan both knew in their hearts that this was only temporary peace.
A new journey is about to begin. They have to use the power in the treasure to protect the entire fairy world. Unknown challenges are waiting for them.
"Li Yuan," Bi Yao said softly, "I feel like we still have a long way to go."
Li Yuan nodded firmly, his eyes revealing fearless courage.
"Yes, Yao'er, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I will face them with you."
The two hugged each other tightly and accepted everyone's blessings.
Inside the cave, the ancient runes flickered faintly again, as if reminding them that new challenges were about to come.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan raised their heads and looked into the distance with determined eyes, their hearts full of confidence and hope.
"We are ready," Bi Yao said firmly, an unstoppable momentum in his voice.
At this moment, a low and mysterious sound came from the depths of the cave again, as if it came from another world...
