Chapter 243 Unfamiliar Territory, Full of Dangers
He quickly dodged behind a jagged boulder, his figure almost blending into the shadow.
My heart was pounding violently in my chest, like a drumbeat, deafeningly loud.
Zhuang Yu held his breath, his eyes fixed on the direction from which the breath was coming from, sweat trickling down his temples and soaking his clothes.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze, eerily silent, with only the rustling of the wind through the leaves adding to the eeriness.
In the darkness, it seemed as if countless eyes were lurking, watching him intently, making him feel as if he were being watched from behind.
The distant woods began to shake violently, the branches and leaves colliding with a piercing sound, and the ground trembled slightly.
A foul stench mixed with a strong spiritual aura wafted over, making one want to vomit.
Zhuang Yu frowned.
In the darkness, a colossal creature slowly emerged.
It resembles a tiger, but is several times larger than an ordinary tiger, and its body is covered with bluish-black scales that shimmer with a metallic luster.
A pair of scarlet eyes, like burning flames, emitted a chilling light.
Sharp fangs protruded from their mouths, dripping a viscous liquid that hissed and corroded as it hit the ground.
This was clearly a powerful demonic beast from the spirit world!
The monster seemed to have sensed Zhuang Yu's presence. Its scarlet eyes suddenly turned to the boulder where he was hiding, and it let out a deafening roar.
The sound waves were so powerful that they shook the surrounding trees, causing them to lose all their branches and leaves.
The boulder trembled as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Zhuang Yu's heart sank to the bottom. This magical beast's aura was more powerful than any opponent he had ever encountered before, and he felt unprecedented pressure.
Without the slightest hesitation, the monster leaped forward and pounced on Zhuang Yu like an arrow released from a bow.
Sharp claws tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound, aiming straight for Zhuang Yu's throat.
"Damn it!" Zhuang Yu cursed under his breath...
……
He dodged the monster's fatal blow with a swift movement.
The boulder was torn apart by the monster's claws, sending fragments flying and dust billowing everywhere.
Zhuang Yu rolled a few times on the ground to dissipate the impact, quickly got up, and stared intently at the monster.
The monster missed its attack and let out an angry roar, spraying Zhuang Yu's face with a foul stench that made him want to vomit.
Its massive body pounced again, faster and more ferocious than before.
Zhuang Yu dared not take the attack head-on, and could only dodge constantly, each time feeling like dancing on the edge of a knife, extremely dangerous.
The surrounding rocks were shattered by the aftershocks of the battle, trees were snapped in half, and sand and stones flew everywhere, obscuring the sky.
Anyone who witnessed this battle would surely be awestruck by its breathtaking intensity.
The monsters' attacks were like a violent storm, relentless and continuous.
Zhuang Yu moved like a ghost, weaving through the attacks of the magical beasts, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
He wielded his longsword with impenetrable speed, the blade flashing and slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
The monster seemed to believe that Zhuang Yu could only dodge, and its attacks became increasingly ferocious, completely disregarding its own defense.
它
Just then, a cold smile appeared on Zhuang Yu's lips.
He suddenly stopped dodging, his body abruptly halted, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body.
The longsword in his hand shone brightly, like a bolt of lightning, piercing straight into the monster's belly—the very spot where its defenses were weakest.
"You beast, you've been tricked!" Zhuang Yu shouted coldly.
The sword light flashed like lightning, piercing fiercely into the monster's abdomen.
The monster let out a shrill scream, its massive body trembling violently. The crimson creature struggled to fight back, but collapsed helplessly to the ground, its blood gushing out like a fountain, staining the surrounding earth red.
Zhuang Yu steadied himself, looked at the fallen monster, and a victorious smile appeared on his face.
He took a deep breath to calm his excitement, walked to the monster's corpse, and began collecting the spoils.
The scales of magical beasts are incredibly hard, making them precious materials for crafting magical artifacts; their claws are extremely sharp, which can be used to forge weapons; and their inner cores contain powerful spiritual energy, making them treasures for enhancing cultivation.
Zhuang Yu carefully collected the materials, her face beaming with joy.
This unexpected gain gave him a good start to his exploration of this unfamiliar territory.
After dealing with the monster's corpse, Zhuang Yu continued to venture deeper into the region.
The surrounding scenery gradually became extraordinary. Towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, exotic flowers and rare herbs emitted a faint fragrance, and the air was filled with a rich spiritual energy, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.
After walking for a long time, Zhuang Yu discovered an ancient ruin.
The architectural style of the ruins was unlike any he had ever seen before, and it was full of mystery and ancient atmosphere.
The walls of the ruins were covered with strange runes that emitted a faint golden light, as if they contained some kind of powerful force.
The surrounding spiritual energy became even denser, even forming a visible mist that swirled around the ruins, adding to the sense of mystery.
Zhuang Yu was deeply attracted to the ruins, sensing that they might hold a great secret.
His curiosity was fully aroused, and he couldn't wait to enter the ruins and explore.
However, as he approached the ruins, he discovered a powerful barrier surrounding them.
The barrier emitted a faint blue light, like an invisible wall, blocking his progress.
Zhuang Yu tried to use his spiritual power to attack the restriction, but found that the restriction did not move at all. Instead, he felt a rebound force, which made him take a few steps back.
Just as Zhuang Yu was pondering how to break the restriction, he suddenly sensed several powerful auras rapidly approaching.
He felt a chill run down his spine and immediately became alert, looking in the direction from which the aura was coming.
“Someone’s coming…” he muttered to himself, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
