Chapter 2255: Fighting in the Cave
After walking in the cave for a while, Matthew did not encounter any unexpected things.
The air in the cave was damp and cold. The surrounding rock walls were covered with moss. Occasionally, a few drops of water dripped from the stalactites above, making crisp sounds.
His footsteps echoed in the empty cave, sounding particularly clear.
Although it was quiet all around, Matthew did not let his guard down.
He knew that in a place like this, the calmer it was, the more likely it was to hide unknown dangers.
He scanned the cave, trying to find some useful clues.
Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a faint light in a corner.
When he got closer, he found that there were several crystal clear crystals scattered there, and the surface of the crystals was glowing with a faint blue light.
Matthew squatted down and looked at the crystals carefully. Although he didn't know the origin of these crystals, judging from the energy fluctuations they emitted, they were obviously not ordinary objects.
“Maybe it’ll be useful later.”
Matthew thought to himself and put the crystal into his storage bag.
He did not stay here for long, but continued to move forward along the cave passage.
His goal was to find a way to leave this place and reunite with White Tiger as soon as possible.
He could sense that the white tiger was not far away from him, but the specific direction was a little vague.
As Matthew walked, he thought about his next move.
He could have tried to use the power of luck to teleport to the location of the white tiger, but when he thought of the previous failed teleportation experience, he gave up the idea.
That failure not only cost him a lot of mana, but also almost teleported him to a more dangerous place.
If we fail again this time, the consequences may be even more serious.
"It's better to be safe."
Matthew made a secret decision in his mind.
He would rather spend more time looking for a way out than take the risk of using the power of luck.
After all, in this unknown environment, any mistake could have fatal consequences.
Just as Matthew was concentrating on finding a way out, a dark shadow appeared silently behind him.
The black shadow was like a ghost. It made no sound, and even the flow of air did not cause the slightest change.
Its shape was blurry, as if blending into the surrounding darkness. Only a pair of scarlet eyes were flashing strangely in the darkness.
Matthew seemed unaware of the dark shadow that suddenly appeared behind him, and continued walking forward on his own.
His attention was completely focused on finding a way out, and he was not aware of the approaching danger.
Seeing this, the dark shadow raised a sinister smile and a cruel light flashed in his eyes.
It slowly stretched out a pitch-black arm covered with fine scales, and its fingertips were as sharp as knives, flashing with cold light.
The black shadow moved extremely quickly, and his arm grabbed Matthew's back like lightning.
Its goal is very clear, which is to deliver a fatal blow and completely eliminate Matthew.
However, just as its palm was about to touch Matthew's back, the hideous smile on the black shadow's mouth suddenly froze.
It was surprised to find that Matthew, who was walking in front of it, had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never existed.
The shadow was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had fallen into a trap.
Its body instinctively slid to the side, trying to avoid the possible attack.
Just as it moved, a purple light suddenly appeared where it had originally stood, flashing past its body.
The purple light was extremely fast, carrying with it a sharp sword energy that seemed to be able to tear everything apart.
After the purple light flashed, a sharp sword sound was heard in the cave. The sound was sharp and long, as if it could penetrate the human eardrum.
Although the black shadow avoided the direct attack of the purple light, it was still affected by the sword energy. Part of the black mist on its body was torn apart, revealing the blurry figure inside.
"There is indeed an ambush!"
The black shadow cursed inwardly and quickly distanced himself from the purple light.
Its eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, trying to find any trace of Matthew.
However, the cave was still silent, as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, the purple light flashed again, and the blade of the Heavenly Punishment Sword gradually appeared.
The sword was purple all over, with complex runes covering the surface. The blade was flashing with cold light, as if it could cut through everything.
The Heavenly Punishment Sword was suspended in the air, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the black shadow, emitting a fierce murderous intent.
"I didn't expect you to have such means." The black shadow sneered, his voice was hoarse and low, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Its shape gradually became clear, revealing a tall and ferocious figure.
Its whole body is covered with black scales, it has a pair of curved horns on its head, and a pair of huge wings behind it, which are covered with sharp bone spurs.
Matthew's figure also emerged from the darkness at this time.
He stood beside the Heavenly Punishment Sword, staring at the black shadow with cold eyes, without any panic on his face.
Obviously, he had already noticed the existence of the black shadow, and everything that happened just now was just a trap set by him.
"Do you think I'd just wander around here defenseless?"
Matthew said lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
With a slight wave of his fingers, the Sky Punishment Sword immediately made a humming sound, and the runes on the sword began to flicker, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
The black shadow snorted coldly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Although it was extremely confident in its own strength, it did not dare to be careless in the face of a powerful weapon like the Heavenly Punishment Sword.
Its body sank slightly, and it took a fighting stance. The wings behind it slowly spread out, ready to attack at any time.
"Since you are looking for death, then I will help you!"
The black shadow growled and suddenly rushed forward, so fast that it was almost impossible to see its movements.
Its arms waved, bringing up black wind blades that swept towards Matthew.
Matthew's expression remained unchanged. He lightly pointed his finger and the Heavenly Punishment Sword immediately rushed forward.
The sword collided with the wind blade, causing a series of explosions, and the air in the cave began to tremble.
Matthew dodged flexibly during the battle, and every move he made was accurate and deadly.
The battle lasted for a long time, and the cave was filled with a mixture of sword energy and black fog.
Finally, with a shrill scream, the black shadow's body was bound by the power of luck and then pierced through by the Heavenly Punishment Sword, turning into a black mist and dissipating into the air.
Matthew put away the Sky Punishment Sword and breathed a sigh of relief.
The black shadow just now was a divine demon, but a weaker one.
Matthew, who possesses the power of this place's luck, has become many times stronger than before.
It is not difficult to get rid of such a weak demon.
During the battle, Matthew successfully found a passage to leave the place.
