EBE Chapter 907 Hope Arrives
Chapter 907 Hope Arrives
A glimmer of hope flashed in Xu Mo's eyes: "It is said that this is a divine weapon that can enhance strength and may even help us defeat the Lord of Darkness!"
Jack frowned and said, "It does sound good, but how can we get it? There should be a lot of traps and protective measures here."
Lena looked intently at a groove under the stone tablet: "Look here, it seems to be some kind of mechanism. It needs to be activated by putting in a special item."
At this moment, a huge bat swooped down from overhead. Xu Mo reacted very quickly and cut it in half with one sword. "Time is running out. We need to find that special item as soon as possible."
Isa forced a smile and said, "Maybe I know what it is..." She reached out and touched her necklace, "This is a family heirloom left to me by my mother. It has ancient totem symbols engraved on it. Maybe it's what we are looking for."
Xu Mo took the necklace and gently put it into the groove. A strange light burst out from the groove, illuminating the surroundings. With a rumbling sound, a hidden door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the inside.
"Great, we found it!" Xu Mo said excitedly, "Everyone follow us, be careful not to fall behind."
They passed through the open secret door and entered a deeper tunnel. The air inside became increasingly cold and damp, as if an indescribable force was enveloping them. Xu Mo walked in front, vigilantly observing the movements around him.
"The atmosphere here is very strange..." Lena whispered, "It seems that there is some unusual power."
Although Isa's body was still weak, her eyes were more determined: "No matter what, we must get that treasure. It is our last hope."
Suddenly, a wide hall appeared in front of them. In the center was a golden treasure box, emitting a faint light. The treasure box was covered with various runes, which seemed to be a powerful protective barrier.
"That's the treasure box!" Xu Mo pointed to the center, "We must break the barrier before we can take out the treasure."
Jack looked around. "I'm afraid this won't be an easy task. This place must be filled with various defenses and traps."
Before he finished speaking, there was a vibration around the hall, the floor began to crack, and a large number of skeleton soldiers poured out from the cracks, holding long swords and with red light flashing in their eyes.
Xu Mo held the sword tightly, ready to face the new challenge: "Get ready, we have no way out!"
Jack raised the knife in his hand: "Then let's have some fun!"
Isa took a deep breath and drew her holy bow again: "Let's fight to the end together."
Lena's mental barrier surrounded her and she said firmly, "We will win!"
The battle broke out in an instant, and the sword light and magic intertwined into a magnificent picture. At this critical moment of life and death, everyone's heart was filled with endless courage and firm belief.
Just as they were trying their best to break the protective barrier, the door on the other side of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and the figure of the Lord of Darkness appeared at the entrance with a grim smile on his face: "Foolish human, do you think you can escape the control of fate? This treasure will never fall into your hands!"
Xu Mo's eyes were like torches: "Unless you step over our dead bodies!"
The battle became more and more intense, and the power of both sides gathered into a torrent that shook the world. At this moment, everyone fought desperately for the hope and faith in their hearts.
"Hold on, Isa! There's still a chance!" Xu Mo's voice echoed in his ears.
"We have to get out of here quickly!" Xu Mo shouted, swinging his sword to cut off a skeleton soldier that rushed over. "Isa, can you still hold on?"
Isa gritted her teeth and shot another arrow from the holy bow in her hand: "I can do it... but we need to find a way out."
Lena's mental barrier was particularly dazzling in the darkness: "Everyone stay close, I will try my best to protect you!"
Jack brandished the flaming knife, the flames burning fiercely: "These undead creatures are too tenacious, we have to find that exit!"
They fought hard and finally found a corner of the passage in the chaos. Xu Mo immediately ordered: "Quick, get out of there!"
Several people quickly passed through the narrow passage, and the skeleton soldiers behind them were still chasing them relentlessly. At this moment, a ray of light flashed, and Lena turned back suddenly, only to see a mysterious figure appear at the entrance of the passage, holding a glowing staff, and instantly froze the chasing skeleton soldiers.
"Go!" the figure shouted loudly, with a hint of urgency in his voice.
Xu Mo felt a glimmer of hope, but he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately led everyone to rush out. They ran in the secret passage, and finally rushed out of the underground palace and came to a wilderness.
The moon in the sky seemed to be covered by dark clouds, and there were only sporadic firelight and a vague horizon in the distance. Xu Mo stopped to catch his breath and looked back at the mysterious figure who helped them. "Thank you, who are you?" he asked.
The person slowly approached. It was a young woman with a beautiful face and a firm gaze. "I am Lianna, one of the guardians of heaven. I have been watching all this from the dark. I cannot let the Night Lord succeed."
"Heaven..." Issa's voice weakened a little, "We are going there to seek help."
Liana nodded: "I have heard about your situation. But I want to remind you that the attitude of Heaven Headquarters has been very conservative recently, and they may not easily provide help."
Xu Mo frowned: "No matter what, we have to give it a try. Isa's injury cannot be delayed."
"Then follow me." Lianna said, "I can take you there quickly and provide you with cover."
Under her leadership, the group set out on the road to heaven. Occasionally, there were some hostile forces along the way, but they were all cleverly avoided or resolved by Lianna.
Finally, after several hours of traveling, the magnificent building of Heaven's headquarters appeared in front of us. The huge white palace stood on the mountain, exuding a sacred and solemn atmosphere.
Lianna stopped and said, "We're here, but I can only take you so far. Be careful after you go in, there are many complicated forces intertwined inside."
Xu Mo nodded: "Thank you for your help, we will pay attention to it."
The group walked into the hall and were greeted by several indifferent guards. Xu Mo stepped forward and explained his purpose: "Hello, we are here to seek help from heaven. Isa is seriously injured and needs urgent treatment."
A guard glanced at the weak Isa and said coldly: "Heaven currently has no time to pay attention to the outside world. Please go back."
Xu Mo frowned: "Please, the situation is very urgent, can you make some concessions?"
Another guard stepped forward: "Rules are rules, there are no exceptions."
Jack was furious: "At this time, you still have so many rules! Are you going to watch people die?"
At this moment, an old man walked over slowly with a kind smile on his face. "Stop arguing, let me see what's going on."
Isa barely supported herself and looked at the old man: "Please save me... We must continue to fight."
The old man nodded and said, "I know your situation. Come with me, I can arrange for the best healer to treat you."
The group followed the old man into an inner room, and soon a young priestess came to treat Isa. After a careful examination, the priestess said softly: "Her condition is indeed very critical, and she needs some time to rest. But I will do my best to make her recover."
Xu Mo and others breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, but they knew that this was only temporary comfort. In the face of the greater challenges that were coming, they still needed to be fully prepared.
While they were waiting, there was a sudden noisy sound outside. Xu Mo felt uneasy and immediately got up and went out to check. He saw a group of dark shadows approaching the palace gate. "What's going on? What are these things?"
Lianna's voice sounded again: "Those are the spies of the Night Lord. They are chasing us. You must act quickly!"
Xu Mo gripped the sword tightly, his eyes firm: "Isa, you must get better! We will wait for you."
Lianna urged, "Now is not the time to delay, leave now while you have the chance."
"But Isa is still undergoing treatment..." Xu Mo hesitated.
"I believe they will take good care of her." Lianna insisted, "Let's go, or we're all finished!"
Xu Mo hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement. He turned back to look into the inner room, his eyes full of determination and reluctance: "Yisha, you must get better. We will come back to pick you up!"
Liana led everyone out of the hall quickly. Along the way, the guards of heaven kept looking at them with doubtful eyes. Jack couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "These cold-blooded guys, are they really going to watch someone die without helping?"
"Not everyone can understand how we feel right now." Lena said softly, "What we need now is speed, not arguments."
Several people quickly crossed the corridor and ran to the back door. At this moment, a young new guard suddenly appeared in front of them with a curious look on his face: "Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Xu Mo immediately stopped and tried to remain calm: "We are in some trouble and need to leave here urgently."
The new guard's eyes flashed with sympathy: "I have also heard something about the Night Lord. It sounds really bad. I can help you find a hidden exit, but you have to leave quickly and don't be discovered by the other guards."
Xu Mo nodded gratefully: "Thank you, little brother. What's your name? I will definitely repay you when I have the chance in the future."
The new guard smiled and said, "My name is Allen. Good luck to you and let's go!" He quickly pointed in a direction and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
The few of them did not dare to delay and quickly left the palace in the direction pointed by Alan. Outside the door was a desolate mountainous area, and the moonlight illuminated their way forward.
"Why is this place so remote?" Jack complained as he ran.
"This is better. We won't be discovered easily." Lianna replied, "We need to find a safe place to hide temporarily as soon as possible."
They continued running and finally stopped in front of an abandoned hut. Lianna carefully opened the door and after confirming that there was no ambush inside, she invited everyone to enter.
"Let's take a break first. We need to think of a long-term plan next." Lianna said.
Xu Mo leaned against the wall, panting: "The current situation is too bad. Isa's injury cannot be delayed, and the power of the Lord of Darkness is growing stronger and stronger."
Jack waved the flaming knife in his hand: "Then let's fight him! No matter how difficult it is, we can't give up."
Lena patted his shoulder gently. "We need to calm down. Blind action will only get us into greater trouble. We need to find the best solution."
"I think Lianna is right." Xu Mo nodded, "Let's rest here for a while and then decide what to do next."
Lianna sat in a corner and pondered for a moment before speaking: "The power within Heaven is complicated. Although we can't help for the time being, we can try to find other allies. For example, the elves or dwarves, they may be able to provide us with help."
"Let's do it this way." Xu Mo agreed, "But first we have to ensure our own safety, and then look for allies."
Just as everyone was discussing, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside. Lena immediately stood up and surrounded herself with a mental barrier: "Someone is coming, it might be an enemy."
"Prepare for battle." Xu Mo gripped the sword tightly and whispered.
The door was slowly pushed open, and an old man in a green robe walked in with a kind smile on his face: "Don't worry, I am Glint, the elder of the elves, and I came here specifically to look for you."
Everyone was stunned. Jack frowned and asked, "How do you know where we are?"
The old man smiled and explained, "I sensed a strong magical fluctuation in the nearby forest, so I came to take a look. I know you are dealing with the Night Lord, and we are willing to help you."
"That's great!" Lena breathed a sigh of relief, "We need allies right now."
"I hope you can lead us to find more helpers." Xu Mo stood up, hope rekindled in his eyes, "We must act as soon as possible to buy time."
Glint nodded: "Come with me, I am ready. Let's fight the darkness together."
"Let's go!" Xu Mo shouted, "For our companions and for this continent, we must unite all our strength!"
Led by Glint, the group set out on their journey again, heading towards an unknown destiny. In the distant palace, Isa lay on the bed, her eyes still strong and bright.
The priestess looked at her and whispered to her, "You need to get well soon. They are waiting for you. We will win this battle together."
Isa gently held her hand, a smile on her face: "I will definitely return to them..."
Glint led Xu Mo and his party through the dense forest and arrived at the territory of the elves. The trees here were tall and straight, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, covering the entire forest with a layer of golden gauze. The air was fresh and moist, making the tired people feel much more relaxed. (End of this chapter)
