Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Wise words guide you on your adventure

My hands trembled, but I finally touched the cold surface of the wooden box.

A strange energy suddenly surged into my body, making me feel dizzy.

When I came to my senses, the mysterious wise man had disappeared. Only his low voice remained in the air, "The cursed valley... that is the source of all disasters..."

The Cursed Valley?

I was horrified. The place was filled with the smell of death all year round, and few people who went in came out alive.

I looked at Hao Yang. His eyes were also filled with worry, but he held my hand even tighter. "Let's go together."

I nodded without hesitation.

Now that you have embarked on this path, there is no turning back.

Now that the wise man has pointed out the direction, we must face it.

We headed north, the wind howling as if it was going to blow us away.

The surrounding trees twisted and made creepy noises.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, without a trace of sunshine, and the whole world was shrouded in a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

Finally, we reached the entrance to the valley.

An armored guardian blocked our path.

"This is a cursed place, no one is allowed to enter!" His voice was low and majestic, with an unquestionable tone.

I know he's doing this for our own good, but I have to go in.

I took a deep breath and said firmly, "I have to go in. This is my mission!"

Hao Yang stood beside me, his eyes firm, "I'll accompany you."

The guardian wanted to persuade me again, but I had already grabbed Hao Yang's hand and resolutely stepped into the valley.

As soon as I entered, a cold breath hit me in the face, making me shiver.

The surrounding scene was even more eerie and terrifying, with dead trees like hideous ghost claws reaching towards the gray sky.

The ground is covered with bones, silently telling of the horror here.

"Wait..." Hao Yang suddenly stopped and stared at the front, "What is that..."

I followed Hao Yang's gaze and saw some dark figures appearing in the gray fog ahead.

They moved extremely fast and were in front of us in almost the blink of an eye.

"Be careful!" Hao Yang pulled me behind him, drew his weapon and rushed forward.

These black figures are like ghosts, without any physical substance, but they can make sharp screams that make people's scalps tingle.

They were moving at an astonishing speed, I could hardly see their movements, I could only feel gusts of cold wind blowing, bringing with it a biting chill.

Hao Yang's weapon passed through their bodies, but it was like it was cutting into the air, without any effect at all.

"What the hell are these?" Hao Yang cursed under his breath, beads of sweat already oozing from his forehead.

I suppressed the fear in my heart, mobilized the new strength in my body, clasped my hands together, and silently chanted the spell.

A dazzling white light emanated from my hand, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Those black figures seemed to be afraid of the light, and they let out shrill screams and retreated one after another.

"It works!" I was delighted and increased my power output.

The white light became stronger and stronger, dispersing the surrounding fog.

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded in the valley, "Foolish mortals, you have disturbed the peace here..."

The sound seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to determine its source.

My heart sank, knowing that the master of the valley had appeared.

"Who is it? Come out!" Hao Yang shouted loudly, looking around vigilantly.

"This place is the product of an ancient imbalance of power," the voice continued. "It is filled with all kinds of unknown dangers, and things that go against common sense may happen..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black figures began to stir again, making low growls.

"Stop talking nonsense, just fight!" Hao Yang rushed forward again, waving his weapon.

I didn't hesitate and continued to output light, trying to suppress these monsters.

However, these monsters didn't seem to be afraid of my light, but instead rushed towards us even more frantically.

They were able to penetrate our defenses and attack our bodies directly, causing both Hao Yang and I to feel severe pain.

"These monsters..." I gritted my teeth and said, "They seem... not afraid of my power..."

Hao Yang's expression also became solemn, "Damn it..." He suddenly stopped, staring at the front with his eyes, his voice trembling, "Yaoyao... look..." Only then did I notice that behind those shadow demons, a huge figure slowly emerged.

The figure was hidden in the thick fog, and I couldn't see its specific appearance, but the suffocating pressure made it almost impossible for me to breathe.

It stands before us like a towering mountain, exuding a terrifying aura.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in my head and I remembered my previous battle experience with the trial beast.

I took a deep breath, forced myself to calm down, and carefully observed the shadow demon's movements.

Sure enough, I found that before each attack, there would be a slight energy fluctuation around their bodies.

I held my breath, seized the moment, and mobilized my newfound strength to strike precisely at those energy fluctuations.

Every attack would cause the Shadow Demon to dissipate a part of itself and turn into black smoke.

Seeing the monster being hit by me, my confidence increased and my attacks became more fierce.

"Yaoyao, you are awesome!" Hao Yang's voice rang in my ears. His hand held mine tightly, warm and powerful, making me feel extremely at ease.

I turned to look at him and saw determination and trust in his eyes, which made me more determined in my belief.

We fought side by side, cooperated with each other, and gradually mastered the method of dealing with the Shadow Fiend.

Just when we thought victory was in sight, a powerful suction force suddenly came from the depths of the valley, like a huge whirlpool, trying to suck us in.

The suction was so strong that we couldn't resist it at all. I felt my body being pulled by an invisible force and drifting involuntarily into the depths of the valley.

"Hao Yang!" I shouted in horror and wanted to grab his hand, but found that his hand was also shaking and I couldn't clench it at all.

"Yaoyao!" Hao Yang's voice echoed in my ears, getting farther and farther away, and becoming increasingly blurred...

"Catch me—!" I stretched out my hand, but only caught nothing...

The suction force was getting stronger and stronger, and I felt like I was being swallowed...
