Abyss Walker

Chapter 219 Dragon Abyss Guardian

Once Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling made their decision, they immediately began preparations. They knew that exploring Dragon Abyss was not just a battle, but also a test of wisdom and courage.

First, they went to the market in Tianqi City and purchased a range of potentially useful equipment and supplies. Yun Muhan paid particular attention to special equipment that could protect them from the dangers that might exist in Longyuan.

His gaze swept across the various stalls, finally settling on some exquisite anti-magic amulets. He carefully examined each amulet, ensuring that the power they contained was strong enough.

In addition, Yun Muhan also purchased antidotes and some pills that could enhance physical strength and spiritual power, which might become an important support for them at critical moments.

Dugu Jianling, on the other hand, focused more on information gathering. He inquired about the legends of Longyuan and recent adventures throughout the market.

Talk to merchants, adventurers, and even wandering bards, hoping to piece together some useful clues from these scattered pieces of information.

His eyes revealed a thirst for knowledge, and his notebook was filled with all sorts of possible entrances, paths, and potential dangers.

After completing their preparations, the two carefully studied all the materials they had collected in the hotel.

Yun Muhan marked all possible entrances and paths on the map. His finger slid lightly across the map, each mark representing a possible direction of advance. His eyes were focused and sharp, as if he could see through every inch of the map.

Dugu Jianling then compiled a list of strategies for dealing with the traps and guardian beasts they might encounter.

He meticulously categorized the information he collected, recording everything from complex mechanisms to the weaknesses of guardian beasts. His pen flew across the paper, each word embodying his wisdom and experience.

The two made meticulous and thorough preparations, knowing that every detail could determine their life or death in the Dragon Abyss.

With preparations complete, Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling's confidence grew even stronger; they were ready to embrace the upcoming adventure.

Early the next morning, Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling packed their bags and embarked on their journey to Longyuan.

Located in the mountains southeast of Tianqi City, Longyuan is an ancient and mysterious underground labyrinth, said to have been built by the ancient dragon race to guard their treasures and secrets.

After a day's trek, they finally reached the entrance to Dragon Abyss. It was a cave hidden in the mountainside, its entrance covered by vines and weeds, making it difficult to find without a detailed map and information.

Yun Muhan took a deep breath, summoned his sword, and stepped into the cave first. His sword gleamed coldly in the dim light, guiding him in the direction he was heading.

Dugu Jianling followed closely behind, holding a glowing magic crystal in his hand to illuminate the path ahead.

The light emitted by the magic crystals cast dancing shadows on the cave walls, providing them with a precious source of light.

The cave was deep and winding, filled with an ancient and damp atmosphere. They advanced cautiously, constantly on guard against potential traps and sudden appearances of guardian beasts. Yun Muhan's sword tip lightly touched the cave wall, ready to deal with any possible danger.

As they ventured deeper into the cave, the light grew dimmer, but an inextinguishable flame burned in their hearts. Their eyes were resolute, their steps steady, each step filled with determination and courage.

As they ventured deeper into the cave, the surrounding temperature gradually decreased, and strange runes began to appear on the walls, emitting a faint glow.

These runes appeared exceptionally mysterious under the light of the magic crystal; their lines were smooth and complex, as if they contained some unknown power.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling knew that these runes might be warnings or guidance left behind by the ancient dragon race. They stopped and carefully examined the runes, trying to decipher their secrets.

Yun Muhan's fingers gently touched the runes, feeling their temperature and texture, while Dugu Jianling silently memorized the rune patterns, hoping to find the connection between them and the secrets of Longyuan.

“These runes look ancient; we must be careful,” Dugu Jianling said in a low voice, his gaze sweeping over the runes carefully, trying to decipher their meaning.

Yun Muhan nodded, his sword tip lightly touching the wall, sensing any possible mechanisms. "We can't touch these runes; they might trigger a trap."

The two carefully navigated around the runes and continued forward. Suddenly, a deep rumbling sound came from the depths of the cave, and the ground trembled slightly, as if something enormous was awakening.

“It seems we’re not the only ones who know the secret of Dragon Abyss,” Dugu Jianling said warily, the magic crystal in his hand shining even brighter.

Yun Muhan gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, a resolute glint in his eyes: "No one can stop us. Our goal is the Dragon Crystal, and anyone who stands in our way will be defeated."

The two quickened their pace, passing through one winding passage after another, until they finally arrived at a huge underground hall.

The hall was spacious and magnificent, with stalactites dripping water droplets from the ceiling, the echoes reverberating throughout the hall, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

In the center of the hall was a huge pool, its surface as calm as a mirror, reflecting the stalactites on the ceiling and the surrounding stone walls. On a stone platform in the center of the pool sat a crystal that emitted a dazzling light—the legendary Dragon Crystal.

The Dragon Crystal shimmered in the hall like a dazzling star, drawing the attention of Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling. Their feet moved involuntarily closer to the Dragon Crystal, their hearts filled with longing and awe for this legendary treasure.

However, just as they were about to approach the Dragon Crystal, the water in the pool suddenly boiled, and a powerful force surged beneath the surface. Then, a gigantic guardian beast leaped out of the water, blocking their path.

This guardian beast has the head of a dragon and the body of a snake. Its scales shimmer with a cold light under the glow of the dragon crystal, and its eyes flash with a fierce light, clearly indicating that it does not welcome any intruders who disturb the treasure it is guarding.
