Chapter 176 The Danger of Lingxu Ancient Cave and the Traces of the Saint Crystal

Facing the swarms of Psyllables, Lin Yun and the others managed to erect a spiritual shield. However, the number of Psyllables was simply too great. The multicolored spiritual rays they emitted from their flapping wings continuously struck the shield like dense raindrops. The shield flickered, and with each impact, everyone felt their spiritual power being depleted, and the pressure increased dramatically.

"These spirit butterflies are difficult to deal with. Everyone, protect your sea of ​​consciousness and don't let them invade your mind!" Lin Yun warned loudly, waving his spirit staff and casting a spirit power spell with a dispelling effect from the "Hunyuan Spiritual Method" to try to disperse the approaching spirit butterflies. Su Yao also hurriedly played the Lingxi Jade Flute, changing the rhythm of the notes, so that the spiritual power ripples contained the power of clearing the mind and focusing the mind, resisting the invasion of the spirit butterfly light on everyone's sea of ​​consciousness, and at the same time disrupting the spirit butterflies' movements, causing their attacks to become slightly disordered.

Chen Yu concealed himself, weaving through the swarm of Psionic Butterflies, searching for an opportunity to sever the rays with his spiritual dagger. However, the Psionic Butterflies were too agile, and just as he dodged one attack, new rays would strike from another direction. Zhao Gang stood firmly in front, using his shield to block as many of the rays as possible. Even so, many rays still broke through the defenses, glancing off everyone's bodies and causing bursts of stinging pain. The group was caught in an extremely difficult and bitter battle. If they wanted to break through the Psionic Butterfly siege and continue their search for the Saint Crystal in the ancient cave, they had to come up with an effective countermeasure.

During the fierce fight, Lin Yun carefully observed the attacks and movements of the Psylocke and discovered that every time these Psylocke flapped their wings and emitted light, there would be a brief pause, as if they were accumulating spiritual power to prepare for the next round of attack. Moreover, their abdomens would faintly flash with light at this time. Perhaps that was where their spiritual power gathered, and that was also their weakness.

"Everyone, pay attention. When the Psionic Butterflies pause after attacking, their abdomens will flash with light. That is their weakness. Concentrate your strength to attack that part!" Lin Yun hurriedly informed everyone of this discovery. Everyone was cheered up after hearing it. Although they had consumed a huge amount of spiritual power at the moment and had many injuries on their bodies, they still forced themselves to cheer up and wait for the right opportunity.

Finally, the Psylockes launched another attack. When they paused after their attack, everyone seized the opportunity and unleashed their remaining spiritual energy in unison, blasting it towards the glow on Psylocke's abdomen. Suddenly, the various colors of spiritual energy intertwined, transforming into precise and sharp beams of spiritual energy that struck Psylocke's abdomen fiercely. The struck Psylocke let out a sharp hissing sound, and the light on its abdomen flickered a few times before dimming. Then, its body began to tremble, and it fell to the ground, dissipating into tiny points of spiritual light in the air.

Seeing that this method worked, everyone took advantage of the victory and continued to attack Psylocke's weakness. With everyone's concerted efforts, more and more Psylocke were eliminated, and the originally dense swarm of butterflies gradually became sparse, and their attacks were no longer as fierce and difficult to resist as before.

"Alright, let's charge ahead! Don't give them a chance to surround us again!" Lin Yun shouted, leading the charge forward. Everyone followed closely behind, breaking through the spirit butterflies' obstruction and sprinting deeper into the cave. As they continued to go deeper, the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations became increasingly complex and mysterious. Everyone became increasingly convinced that the "Hunyuan Saint Crystal" was likely even deeper within the cave. They just didn't know what other dangers awaited them.

After walking a little further, they arrived at a spacious cavern. In the center of the cavern stood a vast pool of spiritual energy. The water within the pool was a dazzling array of colors, as if it had gathered all the spiritual elements in the world. The spiritual light shimmered and shimmered on the surface, creating a dreamlike scene. Ancient runes hovered above the pool, constantly rotating and releasing strands of spiritual energy that blended with the pool's spiritual energy, creating a truly bizarre spectacle.

Surrounding the pool were several stone platforms, upon which sat ancient jade boxes, intricately engraved with forbidden runes, revealing the extremely important items hidden within. The familiar spiritual energy of the "Hunyuan Holy Crystal" faintly emanated from these jade boxes. Everyone felt delighted, feeling a step closer to their goal, but also wary, knowing that obtaining the jade boxes would be difficult and that various traps might be hidden nearby.

Lin Yun and the others cautiously approached the stone platform, taking every step with extreme caution, constantly keeping a close eye on their surroundings. But when they were a few steps away, suddenly, red spiritual rays of light shone from the ground, crisscrossing and weaving into a vast spiritual net that enveloped them. Simultaneously, countless sharp spiritual spikes shot out from the walls of the cave hall, imbued with strange spiritual energy. If pierced, they would be in grave danger of death.

"Be careful, there's a trap!" Lin Yun shouted, and everyone quickly cast spiritual shields and used their physical skills to dodge. Lin Yun waved his spiritual staff, performing a spiritual fusion technique, attempting to sever the spiritual net, but the net was extremely tenacious. Every time he cut one, others quickly formed, making it difficult to break free. Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, and the music transformed into spiritual ripples that surged towards the spiritual spikes, trying to disrupt their trajectory. However, there were too many spiritual spikes, and many still shot towards the crowd. Chen Yu hid his body, trying to find the control core of the trap to fundamentally resolve the crisis, but the trap was so cleverly arranged that it was difficult to find the clue. Zhao Gang once again stood in front, blocking most of the spiritual spikes with his shield. Each time he blocked the attack, his arm numbed with shock, and everyone was once again trapped in a desperate situation.

At this critical moment, Lin Yun suddenly realized that since the mechanism was arranged around the stone platform and the pool, perhaps he could find a way to break it by studying the spiritual power connection between them. He carefully observed the spiritual power fluctuations of the spiritual power net, the spiritual power spikes, the pool, and the stone platform. He discovered that the spiritual power source of the spiritual power net seemed to have a certain resonance with the spiritual power in the pool, while the firing frequency of the spiritual power spikes was related to the flashing rhythm of the forbidden runes on the jade box on the stone platform.

"Everyone, listen to me. Let's try to use our spiritual power to interfere with the spiritual power fluctuations of the pool according to the flashing rhythm of the forbidden runes on the jade box. Maybe we can break the operation of the mechanism!" Lin Yun shouted loudly. When everyone heard it, although they were a little confused, they had no better way at the moment, so they concentrated their strength according to what Lin Yun said, and interfered with the spiritual power of the pool according to the rhythm of the forbidden runes on the jade box.

After a difficult experiment, their efforts finally paid off. As they disrupted the pool's spiritual energy, the light of the spiritual net began to flicker and become chaotic. The spiritual spikes fired less frequently, and the trap's power diminished. Seizing this opportunity, they launched another coordinated attack. Lin Yun unleashed a powerful spiritual spell, pounding the net hard, finally tearing a hole. Su Yao, Chen Yu, and Zhao Gang seized the opportunity to counterattack the remaining spiritual spikes, knocking them down or deflecting them one by one. Having successfully broken the trap, they breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards the stone platform.

Arriving at the stone platform, everyone looked at the jade box engraved with forbidden runes, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Lin Yun took a deep breath and, relying on his profound understanding of spiritual power restrictions, carefully injected spiritual power into the runes on the jade box. He guided the spiritual power flow through the runes in a specific order and method, attempting to open the jade box.

As Lin Yun operated, the runes on the jade box kept flashing. After a series of "click" sounds, the jade box slowly opened, and a soft and pure spiritual light shot out from the box. Everyone hurriedly covered their eyes with their hands. When the light weakened a little, they looked into the jade box and saw a crystal clear "Hunyuan Holy Crystal" emitting powerful spiritual fluctuations lying quietly inside. It was the treasure they had been looking for.

"Finally found it! This was no easy feat!" Lin Yun exclaimed with emotion, and everyone's faces lit up with relief and joy. After all, obtaining each Saint Crystal had come through countless hardships and dangers, and they were one step closer to destroying the "World-Destroying Evil Scripture." However, they also knew that now was not the time to relax. Two more "Huanyuan Saint Crystals" were still missing, and the mysterious evil forces had likely already noticed their presence. They needed to leave as soon as possible.

Just as everyone put away the "Hunyuan Holy Crystal" and were about to leave the ancient cave, a dull roar suddenly came from the cave hall. Then, the ground began to shake violently, and huge cracks appeared on the cave wall, as if some powerful existence was about to break out from the ground.

"Oh no! Maybe we've triggered a more powerful mechanism, or awakened something guarding this place! Everyone, hurry!" Lin Yun shouted. Without hesitation, everyone rushed towards the cave entrance. But before they could get far, a group of gigantic stone beasts, emitting a powerful, sinister aura, emerged from the cracks. Their eyes flashed red, and they took heavy steps, chasing after them. Every step shook the ground, yet their speed didn't slow at all. It was clear they weren't going to let them go easily. A new crisis had arrived, and everyone was facing another life-or-death battle.

The stone beasts, their fangs bared, chased after them. They opened their maws and spewed out streams of black spiritual flames. Wherever the flames passed, the ground was scorched black. The spiritual energy was extremely hot and swept towards everyone. Lin Yun and the others desperately ran towards the cave entrance, casting spiritual shields to resist the flames.

"Don't look back, everyone! Charge towards the cave entrance with all your might! I'll cover your retreat!" Zhao Gang shouted, stopping and turning to face the pursuing stone beasts. He raised his shield and, unleashing all his spiritual power, charged fiercely at the flames emitted by the beasts, attempting to slow their pursuit. Seeing this, Lin Yun and the others, though worried about Zhao Gang's safety, knew they had to leave as soon as possible to escape danger together. So, gritting their teeth, they continued to run towards the cave entrance.

Zhao Gang relied on his tenacious perseverance and powerful spiritual defense to block the attacks of the stone beasts time and time again. However, the stone beasts were numerous and their attacks were becoming increasingly fierce. He was also injured in many places and gradually began to lose his strength. At this moment, Lin Yun and others were almost at the cave entrance. Lin Yun looked back and saw Zhao Gang in danger. He quickly performed a powerful spiritual traction spell and pulled Zhao Gang towards the cave entrance. Everyone worked together and finally escaped from the "Lingxu Ancient Cave" at the last moment when the stone beasts were about to catch up. There was danger all around.

After escaping the ancient cave, they didn't dare to rest for a moment, flying off into the distance. They only stopped to rest after confirming the stone beast wasn't pursuing them. By this point, they were all exhausted, their spiritual energy depleted to the point of depletion. Fortunately, they had managed to obtain the third "Hunyuan Saint Crystal," which was a reward.

"There are still two holy crystals that have not been found. We must continue to explore as soon as possible based on the other clues we have obtained before. We can't let the mysterious evil forces get ahead of us." Lin Yun said, and everyone nodded. They took out the clues they had sorted out before and discussed again. They decided to go to the direction of "Bibotan" that Su Yao had inquired about. It is said that there are traces of holy crystals there, but they are guarded by powerful monsters. However, everyone has experienced many hardships and is fearless at this moment. After a little preparation.
