Chapter 348 Untitled Draft 6
In the final, crucial moment, everyone gritted their teeth and ran with all their might. Their hearts pounded like war drums, each step feeling like walking on the edge of life and death. Sweat soaked their clothes, but no one stopped, for they knew that if they just persevered a little longer, they could escape this terrifying maze.
Finally, at the last moment, they took the final step out of the maze, panting heavily with relief. However, before they could even catch their breath, a treasure chest radiating a mysterious light appeared before them. The chest sat there quietly, as if waiting for their arrival.
The group exchanged hesitant glances before cautiously approaching. The treasure chest slowly opened, revealing a hidden gem that shimmered with an eerie light, dazzling the eye. Just as they were captivated by this wondrous sight, a dark shadow suddenly appeared from behind, like a ghost.
Everyone turned around in astonishment, only to see a gigantic phantom stretching out its enormous arms, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at them. In an instant, chaos erupted as everyone scrambled in panic to dodge.
Just as everyone was in a panic, the mage in the team reacted quickly, chanting incantations, and a magical barrier instantly appeared in front of them, temporarily blocking the phantom's attack. However, the phantom was powerful, and the magical barrier began to crack. Seeing this, the warriors gripped their weapons tightly and roared as they charged towards the phantom, trying to distract it. Just as they were fighting the phantom in close combat, the archers seized the opportunity and nocked their arrows. At this critical moment, Xiao Hui suddenly had a flash of inspiration, an idea that crossed her mind. Without time to think, she acted swiftly. With lightning speed, she pulled a small bottle from her bosom, containing a mysterious liquid.
Without hesitation, Xiao Hui splashed the liquid from the bottle at the phantom. The liquid arced through the air and landed precisely on the phantom.
In an instant, the phantom seemed to be struck by a powerful force, letting out a shrill scream. Its body trembled violently, and its previously fierce attack instantly came to a halt.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events, and for a moment they forgot to continue their attack. They stared wide-eyed at the bottle in Xiao Hui's hand, their hearts filled with doubt and surprise.
However, Xiao Hui didn't give them much time to think. Taking advantage of the brief moment when the phantom was hit by the liquid, she shouted, "Quick, attack its eyes now!"
As if waking from a dream, everyone immediately followed Xiao Hui's instructions, targeting the phantom's eyes. The mages unleashed their strongest spells, while the warriors brandished their weapons, launching a new and fierce attack on the phantom like a whirlwind. She keenly sensed that the phantom's attacks seemed to be connected to the runes on the stone wall. Without time to think, she swiftly formed hand seals, channeling her spiritual power into the runes. The runes suddenly shone brightly, coalescing into a sturdy shield that tightly protected everyone.
The phantom's attack slammed into the shield with a deafening roar, but the shield held firm. Xiao Hui seized the opportunity to observe the phantom's movements and noticed that its attacks always focused on a specific spot. A thought struck her, and she immediately understood the phantom's weakness.
Without hesitation, Xiao Hui directed everyone to attack the phantom's weaknesses in a specific order. Although the group was initially flustered, they quickly adjusted their attack rhythm and launched a fierce offensive against the phantom.
With everyone working together, the phantom's power was gradually weakened. Its attacks became increasingly ineffective, and finally, with a piercing scream, the phantom vanished into thin air.
As the illusion vanished, the runes on the stone wall gradually disappeared, and everything returned to calm. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their fear and tension dissipating. Looking at the treasure in their hands, satisfied smiles appeared on their faces.
Just when everyone thought the crisis was over and was preparing to properly study the treasure, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and a group of small phantoms surged out from the depths of the maze. Although these small phantoms were not individually strong, their numbers were vast, surrounding the group like a tide. Having just experienced a major battle, the group was somewhat exhausted, and faced with this new crisis, they couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Xiao Hui quickly calmed down. She analyzed that these smaller phantoms might share the same weakness as the larger phantoms from before. She once again directed everyone to focus their attacks on the smaller phantoms' eyes. The warriors charged ahead, the mages provided fire support from the rear, and the archers fired with precision.
