King of Hundred Victories Saber-Chapter 165 - 115: Fierce Battle at Black Wind Stronghold, Heroes Probe the Truth of the Ancient Curse Space
Gong Simeng both feared and hated Liu Tingting. She secretly lamented in her heart, realizing she truly couldn’t compare to Liu Tingting: neither as clever, nor as high in status, nor as ruthless, and certainly not as skilled in martial arts.
In the presence of Liu Tingting, Gong Simeng felt so small, filled with a sense of defeat and helplessness.
At this mysterious moment, the Vermilion Bird spread its sharp claws, and with a few swift movements, deftly swept aside the vines blocking its path. Its movements were light and adept, like an experienced adventurer, carving out a deep and unknown path for the team behind it. Following closely, everyone in the team harbored complex emotions, filled with anticipation for the mysterious world about to be unveiled while maintaining a high level of caution and vigilance. They cautiously stepped into this secret chamber hidden deep within nature, each step taken with utmost care, lest they disturb the mysterious forces in this ancient chamber.
They slowly entered the chamber, where the atmosphere was extraordinarily heavy, as if every inch of air had solidified.
Their footsteps echoed dully within the chamber.
At this moment, their gazes were drawn to an ancient box at the center of the chamber.
The surface of the box was adorned with complex patterns that meandered and twisted, telling ancient stories and embodying ancient wisdom and power. The most captivating of all was a black gemstone embedded on the box, emanating an eerie glow.
This gemstone flickered mysteriously in the dim chamber, its light alternating between bright and dim, sending a chill down one’s spine, surely concealing some unspeakable secret, making one deeply question its origin and purpose.
Shi Feiyang approached the box cautiously, his steps very light, afraid of disturbing this mysterious box.
He slowly extended his hand, gently touching the patterns on the box’s surface, his fingertips gliding over them, feeling the ancient aura, as if able to feel the pulse of history through his fingertips. The others observed carefully around the area, their eyes searching through the dim light, not missing any corner, trying to find more clues to unlock the box’s secret.
Just then, Liu Tingting’s eyes suddenly brightened, a section of an ancient text flashing through her mind like lightning.
It was a passage about the mysterious gemstone, and she quickly searched deep in her memory, carefully comparing the contents of her memory with the scene before her. Finally, she found some key clues.
It turned out that this black gemstone was not just a decoration, but it also concealed the mechanism to open the box.
Liu Tingting took a deep breath, calming her nerves, and carefully followed the method from the ancient text, extending her slender fingers to gently press certain specific positions around the gemstone. The moment her fingertips touched the gemstone, the box emitted a slight "click," a sound particularly clear in this silent chamber, unmistakably a signal of an ancient mechanism being triggered.
Slowly, the lid of the box began to move, emitting a creaking sound, speaking of the dust of ages.
Everyone present held their breath, not daring to make a sound, their eyes fixed intently on every subtle change of the mysterious box. When the box finally opened completely, a dazzling light burst forth from within, illuminating the entire chamber in an instant with a "boom," the light so intense it was nearly blinding.
In the radiance of this brilliant light, they beheld an ancient Divine Artifact.
The Divine Artifact emanated a powerful, awe-inspiring force, its light circulating as if containing infinite mysteries.
At this moment, they realized they had found the legendary Ancient Curse Space, and all this achievement was credited to Liu Tingting’s remarkable memory and her deep research and understanding of ancient texts.
However, at this thrilling moment, the ground around the box suddenly began to tremble violently, with a continuous "rumble" sound, as if a giant beast underground was awakening.
Wisps of black smoke slowly seeped from cracks in the ground, like black serpents, swiftly filling the entire chamber. These smokes seemed to harbor countless wraiths, their "wailing" sounds chilling to the bone, goosebumps appearing instantly all over. The atmosphere in the chamber turned unusually terrifying, as if they had suddenly plunged into the Hell Abyss.
Facing this sudden change, Shi Feiyang’s heart burned with rage, his eyes sparkling with determination. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
He immediately activated the Bright Jade Technique, his inner strength surging like a rushing river, emitting a "buzzing" sound.
The aura around him began to circulate, his whole body exuding a strange cold mist, the mist rolling and "hissing," rapidly freezing the unsettling black smoke into ice, the "cracking" sound of ice breaking clearly audible.
Afterwards, Shi Feiyang led the heroes to continue along the passage, cautious and alert, cleverly avoiding various meticulously designed traps and obstacles.
Occasionally, faint sounds of mechanisms being triggered in the passage, "ding-ding," were enough to unsettle their hearts.
After a period of effort, they finally reached the entrance of a cave, marking the beginning of a new adventure for them.
Inside the cave lingered a nauseating stench of decay, like a millennium of rot accumulating, making them involuntarily cover their noses. The sinister and terrifying atmosphere gave them chills, as if countless unseen eyes were watching them from the darkness.
