Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

"This bastard actually reinforced the barrier. What should we do? Little guy, retreat." Long Ying shouted loudly.

"We can't retreat. If we retreat now, we'll have even less hope."

Mona was still circulating her spiritual energy in an attempt to turn the situation around when Chi Yan ran out.

"Let him try my flame and see if it can burn it all up."

Red Flame soared into the air. From its mouth, crimson flames blazed, circling the barrier. The flames came into contact with the dark power, forming a dark crimson flame. This dark place seemed even more eerie and terrifying!

However, the barrier, enveloped by the dark red flames, showed no signs of damage. Instead, it seemed to absorb the power of the flames, becoming even stronger and thicker, and emitting bursts of coldness. Everyone was shocked. This barrier was so difficult to break through. It seemed that a brute force attack would not work.

At this moment, Bai Ze, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "I've heard that the ancient artifact, the Moon-gazing Mirror, can break all evil barriers in the world. If we can find the Moon-gazing Mirror, perhaps there will be a chance of success."

Long Ying's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Qing Li, "Do you have the Moon-gazing Mirror?"

Qingli shook her head: "It has always been kept by Mona!"

Mona just remembered the Moon Mirror and immediately took it out from the system and pointed it at the barrier. After a while, there was no reaction at all. She asked Bai Ze curiously:

"Bai Ze, where did you hear that the Moon-gazing Mirror can destroy all barriers? Why doesn't it work here?"

"Mother, the Moon-gazing Mirror needs the blessing of moonlight. It's pitch black in this Dark Gate, how can it work?"

Mona looked at the dark door with ghostly shadows everywhere, sighed in her heart, but said with a firm look:

"No matter what, let's get rid of these ghosts first. It's better than just sitting there and waiting for death. Then we can search around. Maybe we can find some clues." After discussing, everyone decided to act separately.

So everyone split up into several groups and headed in different directions. Mona led Bai Chen in one group, and they moved forward cautiously.

Suddenly, a group of black shadows pounced towards them. Mona waved the spiritual power in her hand and turned it into a long sword, sweeping across. Bai Chen threw out spiritual threads from his sleeves to trap the approaching ghosts.

On the other side, Long Ying and Chi Yan joined forces. Chi Yan spewed out flames to illuminate the way ahead, while Long Ying held a sword to kill the evil creatures that kept appearing.

Bai Ze and Yutu walked side by side when he seemed to sense a faint aura. Following this wave, he unexpectedly discovered a small ray of light coming from a hidden corner. Overjoyed, Bai Ze quickly called everyone over. Everyone gathered and, following the light, saw a bright moon hanging high outside.

Mona came up with a plan. She cast a spell to expose the Moon Mirror to light. At the same time, everyone worked together to temporarily repel the surrounding ghosts and build a defensive circle. As the moonlight shone on the Moon Mirror, it gradually glowed and became brighter and brighter.

Mona shouted loudly and pointed the Moon-gazing Mirror at the barrier. A holy light shot out from the mirror and rushed towards the barrier. The barrier began to tremble under the light and then broke apart bit by bit. Everyone cheered at the sight.

"Bang, bang!" After a few sounds, the barrier that trapped the Old Beast God was completely shattered. Mona rushed over and helped the Old Beast God out quickly.

"Beast God, are you okay?" Mona handed over a handful of green crystal and asked with concern.

The old beast god shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I was just trapped for too long and was injured by the dark power and evil thoughts. My head hurts a little bit!"

"Old Beast God, that Shura is not here. He is secretly controlling everything here. I'm afraid it will be difficult to break in!"

The old beast god slowed down, looked around at everyone and said, "Thank you all for rescuing me, I will definitely repay you. But the barrier set up by Shura is very insidious, I'm afraid he won't let it go." Everyone's face was solemn.

At this moment, billowing black smoke surged out of the secret door, covering the sky and the sun, and a burst of wild laughter was heard: "Do you think you can escape so easily?" It turned out that the mastermind behind the scenes showed up.

His imposing figure was like a towering mountain, blocking the portal to darkness and making anyone afraid to approach. His face was covered in flesh, each muscle roaring with strength and arrogance. His eyes were deep and cold, like a winter wind, capable of freezing a soul in an instant. His eyebrows were thick and tangled, like two iron hooks, dangling from his face, giving off a sharp, oppressive feeling.

His nose, large and protruding, resembled a wine glass, stretched across his face, lending him a domineering air. His lips, thick and tightly pressed, seemed to conceal endless secrets and conspiracies. His skin, rough and marked by the marks of time and violence, appeared both cold and ruthless.

His hair was short and stiff, like steel wire, sticking lifelessly to his scalp, giving him a cold and ruthless look. His fingers were long and powerful, like pliers, able to easily crush any obstacle that stood in his way.

This, this, is a living version of Zhong Kui!

Mona took a step forward and glared at the other person: "Who are you? Why did you imprison the Beast God?"

The man sneered: "Hahaha! Hehehe! You keep looking for me and still ask who I am?"

"Are you Shura?"

"Yes, I am Shura. The Beast God controls many auspicious powers, and I want to obtain them. Now that you have ruined my good deeds, then you can all stay!"

Long Ying gripped his sword tightly: "Don't be so arrogant, I will not let you succeed today." Everyone took up fighting postures.

The old beast god stood up, forming seals with his hands. A soft light emanated from his body, enveloping everyone. "Don't be afraid. Although I am injured, with the help of everyone's strength and the protection of the auspicious power, I will be able to resist."

"A dying old dog still has the energy to bark. Since the beginning of the world, only the Ancient Chaos God and I have been able to fight. But that old bastard didn't even rely on the nine war gods around him, using his numbers to bully the weak. His victory was unfair. Now it's my turn to unify the world and dominate the beast world! Hahahaha!"

Shura was laughing crazily, as if he would not stop until he died of laughter!

The old beast god couldn't stand his devilish grin, so he took the initiative to attack, waving his palm. The pure divine power hit Shura, but disappeared into his body. Everyone was shocked!

Shura laughed wildly and said, "Old man, you think this little bit of divine power can hurt me? That's simply stupid."

With a wave of his hand, a powerful dark force surged out, sweeping towards everyone like a huge black wave. The old beast god quickly increased his auspicious power for protection, and everyone also gathered their spiritual power to resist.

Mona thought for a moment and whispered to Bai Chen, "Sneak up behind him and use your Nine-Tailed Fox to disturb him." Bai Chen understood and secretly moved back.

Just when the dark power was about to break through the defense, Bai Chen used the Nine Tails behind Shura, wrapping around his neck, torso, and limbs respectively, and the remaining three tails lashed towards his back.

Shura was stunned, his attack weakening. Longying, seizing the opportunity, shouted loudly, leaped up with his sword, and stabbed Shura. Shura recovered his composure and dodged, but Longying slashed his arm.

"Damn it!" Shura roared, his body expanded rapidly, and the dark aura around him became stronger and stronger.

The old beast god shouted, "Everyone, attack his vital points together."

Everyone worked together, and all kinds of spiritual energy gathered into a beam of strong light that shot directly at Shura's heart. Shura screamed, staggered, and finally, after saying a few harsh words, he turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared.

"Damn land beasts, if you try to sneak attack me, then prepare to face my wrath!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the old Beast God looked at everyone with satisfaction. The crisis was finally temporarily resolved.
