Chapter 1908: The Destination of the World Gate? (2)
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“World Gate!”The thought flashed through the minds of the three simultaneously! It had indeed opened!
However, accompanying the opening of the World Gate, was not only the dawn of hope, but also… the increasingly dense roars and howls coming from all directions of the forest!
Roar! Awoo! Squeal!
All sorts of strange and ferocious roars were resounding continuously, and the ground began to tremble slightly! Countless figures, either large or small, exuding auras of varying degrees of ferocity, were crazily surging out from the shadows of the forest, underground caves, and even some twisted energy nodes!
Their target was unmistakably the just-opened World Gate, emitting abundant spatial energy, as well as the Star Crystal located beneath the World Gate, serving as the energy source and beacon!
“Not good! It’s a monster tide!” Luo Qingchen’s face changed, “The energy fluctuations from the World Gate opening have attracted all the fierce beasts and monsters in this area!”
All around the lake, it was a dark mass! The Mantis Spider monsters they encountered earlier were merely small players; now, there were even more gigantic and terrifying presences!
There were huge four-legged beasts as big as small mountains, their bodies covered with thick rocky armor, exhaling sulfur gas with every breath!
There were invisible Ghosts floating in mid-air, bodies like twisted Shadows, constantly emitting spiritual shocks!
There were even some grotesque monsters wrapped in Chaotic Star Energy, clearly mutated from the energy corrosion in the previous Returning Ruins!
Tens of thousands! Covering the sky and earth! They surged toward the lake like a tide, their eyes flashing with greed and madness, wanting to rush into the World Gate, or devour that Star Crystal!
“Oh my god! So many monsters!” Su Xiaowan was so frightened her face turned white, clinging tightly to the Turtle Shell, trembling behind Luo Qingchen, “We… we’re going to be trampled flat, right?”
Lin Wan’er also looked solemn, instinctively gripping the sword hilt with her hand as she carried Bai Ling’er. Such a massive monster tide, even at their peak, would be hard to resist head-on, let alone now when they are in a foreign place, and their strength not yet fully recovered.
“We can’t let them get close to the World Gate!” Luo Qingchen’s eyes were determined, “Once these monsters rush in, the consequences would be unimaginable! Moreover, if they destroy the Star Crystal, the World Gate might immediately close or even collapse!”
That gate was their only hope for return! It must not be lost!
“But… there are so many…” Lin Wan’er looked at the beast horde surging like a black tide, her voice tinged with difficulty.
Luo Qingchen’s gaze swept swiftly across the battlefield, his mind racing. Fighting head-on was a dead end; they had to find a way! His gaze fell on the Star Crystal that was continuously channeling energy to the World Gate.
“Got it!” Luo Qingchen’s eyes sparkled, “Wan’er, Xiao Wan, listen to me! These monsters are attracted to the World Gate, but they also seem to fear the power of the Star Crystal itself, especially those inherently dark-attribute monsters!”
He pointed to the center of the lake: “Let’s go next to the Star Crystal! By utilizing the pure Star Energy emanating from the Crystal, we might be able to form a barrier to block most of the monsters’ assaults! Then, find a way to quickly enter the World Gate!”
“Go next to the Crystal?” Su Xiaowan looked at the Crystal, exuding immense pressure, feeling a bit daunted, “It won’t send us flying too, will it?”
“There’s no time to hesitate now!” Luo Qingchen said gravely, “Trust me! Follow me!”
With that, he hesitated no longer, pushing his Chaotic Power to the limit, his figure like lightning, leading the charge out of the cave, flying towards the center of the lake!
Lin Wan’er gritted her teeth, shouldering Bai Ling’er, closely following!
“Wait for me!” Su Xiaowan, clutching the Turtle Shell, ran and scrambled to catch up.
Their actions immediately caught the attention of the monster tide! A portion of the nearby monsters instantly changed direction, roaring as they charged towards the three of them!
“Get out of the way!” Luo Qingchen didn’t look back, a sword slash sent out in reverse!
The grayish Chaotic Sword Qi, like the reaper’s scythe, instantly sliced the foremost flying monsters into nothingness!
Lin Wan’er also struck simultaneously, several emerald green vines burst from the ground like flexible tentacles, binding and restraining those monsters trying to approach from the ground, buying them time!
Su Xiaowan mimicked the others, raising the Turtle Shell once again, shouting as she ran: “Turtle Shell Divine Light!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several beams of earthy-yellow and silver light intertwined and shot out; though not powerful enough to instantly kill those tough-skinned, big creatures, they successfully impeded a few monsters’ steps, disrupting their formation.
The three of them, like a lone boat in stormy waves, dashed dangerously and precariously through the gaps between countless monsters!
The closer they were to the lake center, the stronger the energy pressure from the Star Crystal! That pure, vast Star Force washed over their bodies as if it were tangible. Luo Qingchen’s Chaotic Power was fine, being all-encompassing; Lin Wan’er’s Heavenly Essence Spiritual Power was of wood attribute, which was somewhat compatible with this pure energy. Only Su Xiaowan felt uncomfortable, as if within a vast Purification Array, and even the Turtle Shell she held flickered uncertainly.
Meanwhile, they also clearly sensed that the pursuing monsters around, especially those exuding dark, chaotic auras, slowed significantly once they got close, their eyes showing clear apprehension and disgust, no longer daring to recklessly attack as before!
“It really works!” Luo Qingchen was overjoyed in his heart.
Finally, after sustaining a few minor scratches, the three managed to break through the outer area of the monster tide and reach above the lake surface, just a dozen meters from the Star Crystal!
Here, the Star Energy was densest, almost like viscous liquid! An invisible energy barrier spread from the Crystal as the center, blocking out most low-level and attribute-opposing monsters! Only a few powerful or non-pure-dark-attribute monsters could withstand the immense pressure, slowly advancing inward!
Temporarily safe!
The three landed on a reef near the Crystal, barely above water, panting heavily, looking at the black tide-like beast horde frantically attacking and howling outside, all feeling a lingering fear.
“So… so many monsters…” Su Xiaowan patted her chest, her face still pale.
“Brother Luo, what do we do now?” Lin Wan’er looked at Luo Qingchen, then raised her head to look at the slowly rotating World Gate above, glistening invitingly.
Luo Qingchen’s eyes were also fixed firmly on that gate. The gate had stabilized, and the internal spatial channel seemed connected, but they didn’t know how long it would remain open, let alone where it led.
“We must find a way to confirm the destination of this gate!” Luo Qingchen said solemnly, “Otherwise, rushing in recklessly might be even more dangerous than staying here!”
But how to confirm? They had no information on the “World Gate” and no tools to scout the path.
At that moment, Bai Ling’er, who Lin Wan’er had been carrying, seemed to receive a strong stimulus from both the World Gate and Star Crystal’s energy. Her previously furrowed brow suddenly relaxed!
Her tightly closed eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the once dim leaf of the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Grass on her brow now began to emit a gentle gold glow!
Immediately, an aura extremely pure, noble, and containing the essence of life and True Dragon majesty, slowly spread from Bai Ling’er!
The moment this aura appeared, the monster tide fiercely attacking the energy barrier froze simultaneously! Many low-level monsters even whimpered in fear, crouching and trembling on the ground! Even those powerful fierce beasts showed uncertain and apprehensive expressions in their eyes!
Dragon Power! This was the supreme majesty stemming from deep within the bloodline!
