Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 227: The Abyss of Despair and a Turning Point

Li Zhao and others seemed to be firmly grasped by an invisible big hand. The powerful and mysterious force was like a tough rope, tightly binding their bodies, making it difficult for them to move even a finger.

They stared with wide eyes, looking in horror at the runes around them that were flashing with strange light.

These runes are like stars twinkling in the night sky, but they exude a creepy cold aura, as if they are messengers from hell, ruthlessly announcing to them the endless dangers and unfathomable mysteries hidden in this abyss.

Li Zhao's heart was as anxious as if it was burning in fire. His brain was like a high-speed spinning top, frantically thinking about ways to escape the current predicament.

He knew very well that if they continued to be trapped like this, it would not be long before they would completely lose the ability to resist and become lambs to be slaughtered in the abyss.

"Everyone, please don't panic! We will definitely find a way to escape!"

Although he was already extremely frightened, Li Zhao still gritted his teeth and tried his best to make his voice sound firm and steady.

His words seemed so insignificant and fragile in this gloomy and dark abyss, as if they could be easily blown away by a light breeze and instantly swallowed up by the endless darkness.

Su Mengyao on the side also did not give up resistance. The two of them struggled desperately with all their might.

Their faces were flushed red, veins bulged on their foreheads, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down their cheeks.

Due to excessive exertion, their breathing became rapid and their chests heaved violently.

"This force is too strong. How should we deal with it?"

Su Mengyao's originally clear and pleasant voice trembled slightly because of fear. Her cries echoed in the deep abyss for a long time, adding a bit of despair to the atmosphere.

Li Zhao took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and then focused all his attention on perceiving the surrounding environment.

Gradually, he seemed to have entered a wonderful world. The light emitted by those runes that seemed to be chaotic at first actually showed a vague pattern.

The mysterious power that has been binding them tightly seems to be inextricably linked to the intensity of the rune's light.

Li Zhao's heart couldn't help but jump: Could it be that the key to solving the current dilemma lies in the mystery of these rune lights?

Thinking of this, he opened his eyes again without hesitation, his gaze fixed on the constantly flashing runes like a torch, and he concentrated on observing every subtle change in their light.

Hard work pays off!

After careful observation, Li Zhao was pleasantly surprised to find that whenever the light of certain runes lit up at the same time, the powerful force that bound them would weaken briefly but noticeably, like the receding tide.

He didn't dare to delay for even a moment, and quickly turned around to inform Su Mengyao beside him of his important discovery, and said in a firm tone:

"We must now work together, focus all our energy, and keep a close eye on those runes.

Maybe by doing this, you can seize the fleeting opportunity and get out of your current predicament!"

After hearing what Li Zhao said, Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

Then, the three of them, in unison, concentrated their minds at the same time, staring intently at those crucial runes.

Something amazing happened! As they stared intently, the runes' light began to flicker rhythmically, as if drawn by an invisible force.

Moreover, as the frequency of the flashing increased, the mysterious force that had originally tightly bound them gradually weakened, just as Li Zhao had expected.

Finally, they felt that their bodies were no longer as tightly restrained as before, and they could slowly try to move their hands and feet.

"Quick, now!"

Li Zhao shouted at the top of his lungs, and this shout seemed to have condensed all the strength and courage in his body.

The other two also roared in unison, releasing all the latent energy in their bodies.

In an instant, a powerful impact force gushed out from the bodies of the three people, breaking through the many restraints of the mysterious power.

Having just escaped from the predicament, the three of them did not dare to hesitate for a moment and rushed towards the edge of the abyss like an arrow.

Their steps were quick and powerful, raising a cloud of dust with every step, as if they were going to trample through the land.

However, fate always seemed to like playing tricks on people. Just when they were only a few steps away from safety, a sinister and terrifying laugh suddenly came from behind them. This laugh was like the roar of a demon from the depths of hell, making people shudder and shudder.

Everyone looked back in horror, only to see the leader of the mysterious organization appear behind them like a ghost.

His tall figure was shrouded in a shadow, appearing even more ferocious and terrifying. Especially the crystal ball in his hand, emitting a faint black light, gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

At this moment, a terrifying and strange smile hung on his originally cold and ruthless face, as if everything was under his control.

"You think you can escape so easily? You are so naive!"

The leader of the mysterious organization spoke slowly in an icy tone, and every word was like a sharp dagger, piercing the hearts of Li Zhao and others.

Hearing this, Li Zhao and the others immediately stopped in their tracks. They turned around and faced this formidable opponent, their eyes burning with anger and unyielding flames.

Li Zhao tightly grasped the shining gem in his hand, feeling the powerful force it contained, and secretly vowed in his heart:

No matter what, I must never let this evil guy succeed again.

"We won't be easily defeated by you again!"

Li Zhao gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.

Although his voice was not loud, it was full of unshakable conviction, echoing in the air like a huge bell.

The leader of the mysterious organization stood in a dark corner, holding tightly in his hand the crystal ball that emitted a strange light.

He just waved his arm, and a stream of ink-black energy instantly gushed out from the crystal ball, like a roaring black dragon, rushing straight towards Li Zhao and others.

Facing this sudden attack, Li Zhao didn't dare to be negligent. He moved his hands rapidly, controlling the shimmering gem in front of him.

In an instant, the gem burst into a dazzling light, like the dawn light piercing through the darkness, heading towards the black energy.

When the black energy collided with the gem light, the heaven and earth seemed to tremble.

The intense light was as dazzling as a sun explosion, making it almost impossible to look directly at it.

Along with this light came a deafening roar, the sound of which was so loud that it could cause mountains to collapse and rivers to flow backwards.

As this thrilling confrontation continued, Li Zhao keenly noticed that the walls around this bottomless abyss were faintly emitting a strange energy fluctuation.

This fluctuation is elusive, yet contains endless power.

A thought flashed through his mind: Perhaps, he could use the unique environment of the abyss to resist the powerful offensive of the leader of the mysterious organization!

Thinking of this, Li Zhao turned to look at Su Mengyao beside him without hesitation, and quickly told them both about his recent discovery and how to deal with it.

"If we attack the wall of the abyss together, we might be able to trigger some special reaction and reverse the current situation!" Li Zhao shouted.

Upon hearing Li Zhao's proposal, Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. Then, in perfect sync, the three of them simultaneously unleashed their unique skills.

Su Mengyao raised her hand slightly, muttering something. As she chanted the incantation, a ball of icy blue spiritual energy condensed from her palm, transforming into an incredibly sharp arrow that shot towards the wall of the abyss at lightning speed.

At the same time, the Crown Princess was not to be outdone. With a delicate cry, she formed seals with her hands, and a blazing golden flame suddenly rose up.

The flames were so intense that they seemed capable of incinerating everything in the world. Under the control of Crown Princess Su Mengyao, the flames were like a ferocious beast, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged towards the walls of the abyss.

Li Zhao continued to control the gem, continuously releasing powerful light.

The light was as straight and sharp as a laser, shining directly on the wall of the abyss.

Finally, three completely different but equally powerful forces bombarded the wall of the abyss at the same time.

There was a dull roar, and the ancient and mysterious runes on the originally dim walls suddenly shone with dazzling light.

These runes are like awakened elves, dancing happily, intertwining and entwining with each other to form a magnificent pattern.

At the same time, the entire abyss began to shake violently. The ground shook, rubble rolled down, and dust flew up.

It felt like a long-sleeping beast was awakening, about to reveal its terrifying power.

The mysterious organization's leader's face changed drastically when he saw this. He quickly controlled the crystal ball, trying to stop it.

But at this time, the power of the rune had been fully activated, and a powerful backlash force surged towards him.

The leader of the mysterious organization had to use all his strength to resist this backlash, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

Just when he was distracted, Li Zhao and others took the opportunity to launch an attack.

Li Zhao controlled the gem to emit a powerful light, which directly hit the crystal ball in the hand of the leader of the mysterious organization.

The crystal ball trembled violently, and its light became unstable.

The leader of the mysterious organization looked at the crystal ball in his hand in horror. He knew that once the crystal ball was destroyed, he would completely lose his advantage.

Just when Li Zhao and others thought victory was in sight, the leader of the mysterious organization suddenly revealed a crazy smile.

He muttered something, and the light of the crystal ball became strange again.

An even more terrifying force surged out of the abyss, enveloping Li Zhao and others and the leader of the mysterious organization again.

When the light dissipated, Li Zhao and the others found themselves in an even more mysterious space. The air here was filled with a pungent smell, and all kinds of strange lights flickered on the surrounding walls.

The leader of the mysterious organization has also disappeared, but Li Zhao knows that the danger is not over.

"What is this place? How do we leave here?" Su Mengyao's voice was full of confusion.

Li Zhao looked around, his heart full of doubts.
