Chapter 906 Newcomers
"Do you think we should believe her?" Isa asked Xu Mo in a low voice, the vigilance in her eyes not diminishing in the slightest.
Xu Mo pondered for a moment, and finally said slowly: "I will try. But we must prepare for the worst."
He gently placed his hand on the soul of the Queen of the Underworld, and a pure light surged in his palm, and the light and the soul gradually merged. Suddenly, a strong impact came, and the surrounding scene began to become blurred and distorted.
When everyone came to their senses, they found that they had been teleported to a completely unfamiliar place. It was a dark dungeon, filled with a foul smell and the howling and wailing of dark creatures.
"Where is this place?" Lena looked around nervously, and a halo of mental power began to gather in her hands.
Xu Mo closed his eyes and tried to sense the specific location of this place. "It seems that this is part of the memory world of the Queen of the Underworld. She is showing us a fragment of her past."
At this moment, a ray of light rose from the shadow behind Xu Mo, and gradually condensed into the image of the Queen of the Netherworld. But this time, she was no longer that resentful and cold, but seemed a little confused and uneasy.
"Welcome to my past." Her voice was low and weak. "This is where I record the crimes I have committed. I hope you can witness them and understand my choices."
Xu Mo nodded and signaled everyone to follow the steps of the Queen of the Underworld. They passed through many levels, and each step was full of tests and tribulations. These experiences allowed Xu Mo and his companions to have a deeper understanding of the Queen of the Underworld.
In an abandoned hall, the Queen of the Underworld stopped. Her eyes flashed with complex light, and she said in a heavy tone: "This is where everything started... My home was destroyed in a disaster, and I was seeking revenge and eventually lost in the darkness. Looking back now, I feel extremely guilty and regretful."
Isa couldn't help but stepped forward and whispered, "What are you going to do now? Are you really willing to give up all your power and just ask for forgiveness?"
The Queen of the Underworld took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes. This is the only way to calm the pain deep in my heart."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black vortex suddenly appeared in the air, and a tall figure in a blood-red robe walked out of it. This person had a cold face, cruel eyes, and a strong negative energy emanating from his body.
"Do you think things will end so easily?" The voice was as cold as ice, chilling.
Xu Mo immediately became alert. He clenched his sword and stood in front of everyone: "Who are you?"
The man sneered, "I am the Lord of Darkness. Your so-called Queen of the Netherworld is just a chess piece that I use. Now that the game has reached a critical moment, how can I sit back and do nothing?"
When the Queen of the Underworld heard this name, she trembled all over, obviously shocked. She looked at Xu Mo and others in horror: "He...he is the real manipulator behind the scenes. If you want to win in the end, you must defeat him!"
Facing the sudden enemy, Xu Mo's eyes became more determined. He knew that this would be another more difficult battle they faced.
"Then let us fight against evil together!" Xu Mo said loudly, swinging his sword at the Lord of Darkness in front of him.
The Dark Lord laughed loudly, waved his arms, and powerful dark energy swept over. "Then let us see how powerful you mortals are!" His arrogant words echoed in the dungeon for a long time.
The laughter of the Night Lord was still echoing in the air, and then countless bats flew in from all directions, densely covering the entire dungeon. These bats seemed to be driven by some evil force and pounced on Xu Mo and others, and their sharp cries echoed in the small space.
"Be careful!" Lena shouted, and the spiritual power in her hands condensed into two beams, which shot towards the attacking bats. They exploded instantly, blowing the bats to pieces. But more bats still came like a tide.
Jack drew out his long knife, and the blade was blazing. He leaped up and swung the flaming blade at the bats. The flames spread quickly, turning a field of bats into ashes. However, the number of bats seemed endless. As soon as one batch was cleared, a new batch would come up.
"We must find a breakthrough!" Isa shouted. She tightly grasped the holy bow in her hand, aimed at the Lord of Darkness in the sky, and an arrow streaked through the darkness like a meteor and pierced his chest.
However, just as the arrow was about to hit, the Dark Lord suddenly disappeared, and the arrow passed through his afterimage and nailed to the wall in the distance. Then, he appeared in another position with a ferocious smile on his face: "With your ability, you still want to hurt me?"
Xu Mo was furious, the tip of his sword gleaming white, and he stood facing the wind. "Everyone, concentrate your attacks on one spot and disrupt his rhythm!" he commanded. Everyone responded in unison, and Isa pulled the bowstring again, aiming at the direction of the Night Lord. Jack and Lena were also ready, each performing their own special skills.
Following Xu Mo's order, three forces erupted at the same time. Isa's arrows, Lena's spiritual waves, and Jack's flames all attacked the Dark Night Lord's position at the same time. Although he dodged quickly, he was forced to be unable to stabilize his position and retreated again and again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Mo flashed and quickly approached the Dark Night Lord. The long sword in his hand emitted a dazzling brilliance, and the sword light was like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, tearing through the darkness. Xu Mo swung his sword and slashed, and the Dark Night Lord hurriedly raised his hands, and the black air condensed into a shield.
The two collided with a loud bang, and the shock wave spread in all directions. The shield shattered under Xu Mo's powerful sword intent, and the body of the Dark Night Lord flew backwards, crashing into several stone pillars, and finally fell to the ground.
"This is just the beginning..." Xu Mo said in a deep voice. However, before he finished speaking, the bats seemed to have received new orders, becoming even crazier and rushing towards them recklessly. Xu Mo turned around and faced the surging army of bats, "Lena, you maintain the barrier to protect us first! The rest of you, prepare for the next attack!"
Lena nodded in response, folded her hands in front of her chest, and gathered her spiritual energy into a transparent energy wall, which slowly rose in front of everyone to form a protective shield. The others took the time to adjust their breathing and prepared to fight the enemy with all their strength. In this dangerous battlefield, every decision is a matter of life and death, but they have already made the most determined preparations to meet the next unknown challenge...
"No matter what is waiting for us ahead, as long as we unite as one, there will be no problem that cannot be solved." Xu Mo looked at his partners firmly, his voice full of trust and courage, "Let us join hands and fight to the end!"
"No problem!" Jack raised the flaming knife in his hand with a determined look. "Well, with you guys around, I feel more confident." Isa chuckled, but her eyes were calmer and more focused than ever.
The battle was in full swing, and Isa's holy bow kept shooting arrows, each time accurately suppressing the actions of the Lord of Darkness. But at this moment, a huge bat suddenly attacked from behind her, so fast that she almost had no time to react. Seeing that things were not going well, Xu Mo hurriedly shouted: "Watch out behind you!"
However, it was too late. The huge bat had already hit Isa's back hard. She groaned in pain, her body shook violently, and the Holy Bow in her hand almost slipped out of her hand. The bat's huge wings lifted her into the air, and then she was thrown to the ground.
"Isa!" Lena shouted anxiously, and quickly formed a mental barrier to protect Isa and prevent more bats from attacking her.
Xu Mo swung his sword and killed several approaching bats, then rushed to Isa. Seeing her pale face and blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, he couldn't help but panic. "How are you? Can you still hold on?" he asked anxiously.
Isa forced a smile and said through clenched teeth: "I'm fine, don't worry...but I have to find a place to hide now."
Jack and Lena also came to her side. They knew that it was not a good idea to continue fighting in this situation. Xu Mo glanced at the Night Lord who was still laughing wildly and commanding the bats, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "We must leave here first. Find a safe place to treat Isa, and then make plans."
After that, Xu Mo carried the injured Isa on his back, and the others immediately followed his footsteps and fled deep into the underground palace. The Dark Night Lord noticed their intention and sneered, "Want to escape? It's not that easy!"
He waved his hands, and the countless bats in the air seemed to receive instructions, becoming more frantic and fierce. They chased after him relentlessly, with sharp cries and the sound of flapping wings mixed together, like the footsteps of death approaching step by step.
The group trudged forward through dim corridors one after another. These narrow spaces gave them some breathing space, but also made it easier for pursuers to intercept them. Finally, they found a secret room hidden in the crevice of the rock, and quickly got in. Then they blocked the entrance with several large stones, hoping to stop those hateful creatures a little.
"It should be safe here for now." Jack breathed a sigh of relief, but soon frowned again, "But this is not a long-term solution."
Although the space in the secret room was small, it was at least more hidden than outside. With the weak light, Xu Mo checked Isa's injuries. There was an obvious bruise on her back, and it seemed that several bones were seriously injured. "Isa, you have to hold on." He comforted her softly.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to die yet." Isa forced a smile, her tone weak but still full of stubbornness, "Give me a few minutes, I can try to heal myself...but I may need to borrow your strength."
Hearing this, Lena sat down next to her without saying a word: "No problem, I will try my best to provide you with the mental support you need. As for the rest, it depends on whether you can withstand this energy."
The three of them began to contribute their own efforts to help Isa heal. Xu Mo held her hand to convey warmth and comfort; Jack stood guard at the side, always paying attention to the situation outside. The Queen of the Underworld stood silently in the corner, her face full of apology - this incident was ultimately caused by her.
Time passed by, and with Lena's help, Isa's injuries gradually began to improve. Her pale face slowly regained some color, but she still looked very exhausted. "Thank you... everyone has worked hard." Isa whispered in thanks and tried to struggle to stand up, "I feel much better, we should go."
"Is it okay for you to be like this now? Why don't you rest for a while longer?" Xu Mo looked at her worriedly, afraid that the condition would worsen because of his anxiety.
Isa shook her head firmly to indicate that she could continue, "We can't wait any longer. If we stay here too long, the Night Lord will definitely find this place. We must find a way to get out of this predicament as soon as possible."
Just as everyone was about to leave, they suddenly heard rustling sounds outside the door and the faint cry of bats. It was obvious that the enemy was approaching. "Get out!" Jack roared in a low voice, pushing away the big stone blocking the door, "Evacuate quickly before they completely block the exit."
In the secret room, the tense atmosphere reached its peak. Xu Mo quickly stood up and tightly grasped the long sword in his hand: "Lena, are you ready?"
Lena nodded, her mental barrier slowly rising around her: "I'm ready."
"Jack, Isa, you follow too." Xu Mo said in a deep voice with a firm look in his eyes.
They rushed out of the secret room quickly, only to find that the passage was surrounded by bats and creatures of the night. Jack raised the flaming knife high, and the flame burned the surrounding darkness: "Come on, these dirty things!"
Xu Mo swung his sword and chopped, each strike carried a sharp sword intent, cutting off countless bats. Although Isa was injured, her holy bow still accurately shot out divine arrows, suppressing the approaching enemies one by one. Lena stayed closely around them, and her mental barrier continued to expand to resist attacks from all directions.
The battle intensified, and the entire underground palace seemed to be filled with violent energy. Xu Mo was anxious, knowing that this was not a long-term solution. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a stone tablet in a corner, on which were carved some ancient and mysterious words. He thought and shouted hurriedly: "Everyone, follow me, that stone tablet may have some clues!"
Jack, Isa and Lena immediately adjusted their direction upon hearing this and followed Xu Mo to rush towards the stone tablet. However, the bats seemed to have sensed their intentions and became even more ferocious and crazy. Xu Mo waved his sword to resist and escorted everyone forward.
Finally, they arrived in front of the stone tablet. Xu Mo quickly scanned the words on the stone tablet: "These are ancient demonic words, telling an ancient legend... It turns out that there are treasures left by the Demon King here."
Isa panted and asked, "What kind of treasure? How can it help us?" (End of this chapter)
