Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Victory Beast breaks the deadlock and embarks on a new path

The cold air spread along the sword, almost freezing my fingers.

The Trial Beast's scarlet eyes, like two will-o'-the-wisp fires, stared at me intently. Its huge body kept circling around me, and its scorching breath spewed flames, distorting the surrounding air.

I didn't dare to act rashly. Elder Lingyin's words echoed in my ears. Marking is the key. But this beast is very cunning. It hid the mark under layers of scales and armor, and it disappeared in an instant.

I have to hit the target with one strike, otherwise, once I alarm it, it will be difficult to find another opportunity.

Time passed minute by minute, my strength was constantly depleted, and the hand holding the ice sword began to tremble slightly.

Hao Yang's worried gaze was like a beam of warm light, illuminating my heart that was about to collapse.

I took a deep breath and told myself that I couldn’t give up!

I must win!

For myself and for him!

The trial beast seemed to sense my anxiety. It let out a low roar, the temperature around it suddenly rose, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

I forced myself to calm down, feeling the energy fluctuations around me, and looking for the flaws of the trial beast.

It was testing me and waiting for me to reveal a flaw.

This is a psychological game. Whoever loses patience first will lose.

Suddenly, I felt that the Trial Beast's movement slowed down, and its huge body paused slightly, as if it was accumulating strength.

mark!

I keenly caught the fleeting mark; it was on the inside of the trial beast's left hind leg!

opportunity!

"Now!" I growled...

……

I growled and poured all my spiritual power into the ice sword. The sword emitted a dazzling blue light, as if it wanted to tear apart the darkness.

I rushed forward and stabbed the mark hard!

Suddenly, the trial beast launched a feint attack. It pretended to pounce on my left side, but actually suddenly turned to the right to attack.

I was prepared and dodged to the side, then quickly counterattacked, concentrating my strength on my fingertips and stabbing at the marked position on the trial beast.

The trial beast used its claws to block, and the surrounding magma was splashed. The hot breath hit my face, and I felt a stinging pain on my cheek.

Hao Yang's shouts came from a distance, but I had no time to pay attention to him. I could only grit my teeth and continue attacking.

I kept changing the angle of attack, hitting the trial beast's weakness mark again and again.

The trial beast's defense began to show loopholes, its movements became slow, and its breathing became more and more rapid.

I felt that victory was just around the corner, so I attacked even harder.

Finally, I succeeded in hitting the core of the mark!

The trial beast let out a scream, and its huge body fell down with a bang, turning into a ray of light and disappearing.

The surrounding magma gradually subsided, and a strange fragrance filled the air.

I leaned on the ice sword and tried to calm my pounding heart.

The guardian slowly walked up to me with admiration in his eyes, "You, have passed the test." He stretched out his hand, and in his palm lay a diamond-shaped crystal that was shining with a strange light.

"This is..." Before I could ask, I felt a powerful force surrounding me...

"Yao'er!"

Hao Yang rushed towards me excitedly and hugged me tightly. His heartbeat was like a drum beating against my eardrums.

"Yao'er, you did it!" His warm breath sprayed on my ears, with the relief of surviving the disaster.

I hugged him back, buried my head in his chest, and greedily breathed in his familiar scent.

The tension and fatigue just now disappeared, replaced by full of peace of mind and joy.

We hugged each other and laughed, as if we were the only two left in the world.

The guardian slowly approached, his deep gaze lingered on me for a moment, and he nodded slightly.

"You have displayed extraordinary courage and wisdom and successfully passed the trial." His low voice was filled with a hint of appreciation, which made me feel proud.

Then, he stretched out his hand, and a diamond-shaped crystal was suspended in his palm, emitting a soft light.

"This is the reward you deserve. It will help you better master your new power."

I was about to reach out to take it, but I saw the guardian's face suddenly become serious, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"But I have to remind you that this reward is not without price..." He paused, his tone becoming meaningful, "There may be greater dangers hidden behind it." My heart sank suddenly, and the original joy was diluted by this sudden worry.

Danger?

What kind of danger?

The guardian's words were like a huge rock, weighing heavily on my heart, making me feel inexplicably uneasy.

He slowly took something out of his sleeve...
