Chapter 244 The Mystery of the Stone Gate and the Intertwining of Crisis
That sudden, powerful suction force, like an invisible behemoth, ripped at everyone. The space around the stone gate seemed to transform into a massive vortex, twisting and deforming, drawing everything in. Huanmo felt as if her feet were nailed to the ground, yet she was being dragged forward by an irresistible force, her body tilting forward, almost falling.
"Everyone, hold on!" Huanmo shouted, rapidly gathering spiritual energy in his hands to form a shield around his body to resist the suction force. His heart was filled with vigilance and doubt. Where did this stone door lead? Why was it suddenly generating such a powerful suction force?
Ling'er screamed in terror, the scroll in her hands nearly snatched away by the suction. She clung tightly to the scroll, pushing off the ground with her feet, but her body still slid involuntarily toward the stone door. "Brother Huanmo, save me!" Her voice was choked with sobs, fear completely overwhelming her at that moment.
Wanru gritted her teeth, plunging her weapon into the ground in an attempt to steady herself. The veins in her arms bulged from the effort, and her face was covered in sweat. "This suction is too strong! We can't resist it at all!" she shouted, a hint of anxiety in her eyes.
The woman in white swiftly cast a spell, beams of light shooting from her hands in an attempt to counteract the suction force. However, the light was mercilessly swallowed up the moment it touched the suction. Her face turned ashen, and a wave of despair washed over her. "Are we really going to be sucked in?"
The mysterious man frowned, his staff gleaming with an eerie light. "Don't panic, everyone. Try to concentrate your strength and fight against this suction!" he said, channeling the power of his staff in an attempt to counteract the pull.
Huanmo felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing the mysterious man's words. He knew that only by uniting as one could they have a chance of survival. "Alright, everyone, listen to the mysterious man's command and gather your strength together!" he shouted, while continuously pouring his spiritual power into the shield.
Ling'er suppressed her fear, focused her mind, and released the power within the scroll, sending it surging towards Huanmo's shield. Her small hands trembled slightly with tension, but she knew she couldn't back down; she had to do her part for everyone.
Wanru no longer hesitated, merging her own power into the shield. "Come on, I refuse to believe we can't hold on!" Her eyes were filled with determination, as if declaring war on this powerful suction force.
The woman in white took a deep breath, her hands rapidly forming hand seals as she released her spiritual power without reservation. A resolute glint appeared in her eyes. "To pass the test, we must persevere!"
With everyone's combined efforts, Huanmo's shield gradually grew stronger, beginning to create a stalemate with the suction force. However, the suction force was equally powerful, showing no signs of weakening. Everyone's strength was being depleted, making each second feel incredibly long.
Huanmo could feel his spiritual energy about to run out; his forehead was covered in sweat, and his breathing became rapid. "Everyone, just hang in there! There must be a way!" he kept encouraging himself in his heart, while trying hard to think of a solution.
Just as everyone was struggling to hold on, the runes on the stone door suddenly began to flash, the light growing stronger and stronger. Then, the suction force suddenly changed; it was no longer simply pulling towards the stone door, but transformed into a rotating force that drew everyone in, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy.
"Ah!" Ling'er screamed as she was swept into the vortex, her body spinning uncontrollably. Huan Mo was shocked and reached out to grab Ling'er without hesitation. "Ling'er, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Wanru and the woman in white were also caught in the whirlpool, struggling to regain their balance. Wanru shouted, "Everyone be careful! This whirlpool is too dangerous!"
The mysterious man struggled to stay conscious within the vortex, resisting its power while observing the changes in the runes on the stone gate. "These changes in the runes seem to be the cause of the sudden shift in suction; we must find a way to stop the runes from flashing!" he shouted, trying to make himself heard.
Huanmo clung tightly to Ling'er within the vortex, struggling to move closer to the stone gate. He had only one thought in his mind: "I must find a way to stop the runes from flashing and save everyone!" However, the power of the vortex was too great, making every step forward incredibly difficult.
As the vortex continued to spin, everyone's strength was being depleted more and more rapidly. Huanmo felt his arms go numb, and he could barely hold onto Ling'er. Ling'er's consciousness was also fading, and she weakly said, "Brother Huanmo, I'm so tired..."
Wanru and the woman in white gradually lost their ability to resist, their bodies swaying precariously in the vortex. Although the mysterious man tried his best to maintain his condition, he also felt powerless.
Just when everyone was almost in despair, Huanmo suddenly noticed a faint force flowing towards the stone gate within the vortex. A thought struck him: "Could this be the key to breaking the rune's flickering?" He gritted his teeth and swam with all his might towards the source of that force.
However, just as he was about to reach the source of that power, the runes on the stone gate suddenly shone even brighter, and the vortex's power intensified once more. Could Huanmo successfully find a way to break the rune's flickering light and save everyone? Could they all escape this life-or-death crisis? Everything remained uncertain; the shadow of death loomed over them like a dark cloud…
