Chapter 179: Continue Forward or Return the Way We Came?
The door was covered with intricate and dazzling patterns, which seemed like ancient and mysterious symbols. They intertwined, like a painting containing endless mysteries.
Every line is so exquisite, as if it were carefully sculpted by a master craftsman.
In an instant, the little girl cautiously stepped forward.
She stared wide-eyed at the mysterious door with curiosity.
Then she reached out her small, tender hand and gently touched it.
In an instant, a deep rumble was heard, and the heavy door slowly opened to both sides, as if it were being pushed by an invisible force.
As the gate gradually opened, a deep and narrow passageway was revealed to people.
It meanders and twists, stretching to the horizon, as if leading to an unknown world.
A thin layer of mist filled the passage, making it even more mysterious and unpredictable.
Upon seeing this, everyone exchanged glances, their eyes filled with both surprise and confusion.
But in the end, they made up their minds to walk along this path together.
At first, the passageway was dark and quiet, with only the faint sounds of footsteps and breathing audible.
But as they went deeper, the surrounding environment began to undergo a strange change.
The originally dark and damp walls gradually disappeared, replaced by a sea of colorful flowers.
A variety of flowers are vying for attention, emitting a captivating fragrance.
The colorful petals fluttered like butterflies, a truly breathtaking sight.
At the same time, a crystal-clear stream appeared beside them.
The stream flows gently, its waters rippling and shimmering with silver light under the sunlight.
Willows sway gently by the stream, their tender green branches dancing in the breeze, creating a picturesque scene with the blue sky and white clouds reflected in the water, like a fairyland on earth.
Just as everyone was enjoying the beautiful scenery, Mu Yang suddenly exclaimed.
Following the direction Mu Yang pointed, a familiar figure could be seen faintly visible deep within the flowers.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a kind-looking old man!
At this moment, he was standing there, smiling at everyone.
"This place is an extremely special space. Its purpose is to select those who are truly qualified to enter the place that you yearn for deep in your hearts."
"However, to successfully reach that place, one must pass one severe test after another."
Upon hearing this, Huan Yuechu's beautiful eyebrows, as delicate as distant mountains, furrowed slightly, and she parted her lips to ask in confusion.
"Screening? What does that mean? Where do we go from here? And why are we facing such a test?"
Her voice was clear and melodious, as sweet as a nightingale singing in a valley, but at this moment it carried a hint of anxiety and confusion.
Upon hearing her question, the person who had set up the formation smiled slightly.
His smile was enigmatic, as if he had everything under control.
The people present couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief, their faces revealing undisguised shock.
They originally thought that all the hardships and difficulties they had encountered along the way were due to fate.
It turns out it was just a carefully designed test in the end! This fact is really hard to accept.
However, before everyone could recover from their shock, the person who set up the formation continued.
"Now you have two paths to choose from. The path on the left is full of thorns and dangers, and is fraught with difficulties."
"The path on the right leads directly to the exit, allowing you to leave this place quickly. As for which path to choose, that's entirely up to you."
After listening, Huan Yuechu slowly glanced at her companions, her eyes revealing unwavering determination.
After a moment's thought, she spoke without hesitation: "We've overcome countless obstacles and hardships to get here. If we give up so easily, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain?"
"Therefore, I believe we should choose the challenging path on the left and continue forward, no matter what schemes or tricks we may have."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yang and Su Jinyan both nodded in agreement.
The person who set up the formation smiled with satisfaction when he saw that the formation he had set up had been successfully activated.
He then nodded slightly, and with a gentle wave of his arm, a dazzling light flashed, and a pure white bridge instantly appeared above the once calm stream.
The white jade bridge, like a giant dragon, spans the stream, one end connecting to where they are, and the other end leading straight to the road on the left.
Everyone watched the amazing scene unfold before them, feeling both excited and nervous.
They carefully stepped onto the white jade bridge, their steps firm as they proceeded toward the road to the left.
However, just as they crossed the bridge, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed dramatically.
A fierce wind howled in like a raging torrent, whipping up sand and gravel that made it almost impossible to open one's eyes.
Faced with such a harsh environment, no one dared to be careless. They all reached out and held each other tightly to prevent being blown away by the strong wind.
Just then, a strong suction force came, and a huge vortex appeared not far ahead.
This vortex is like a ferocious maw, greedily devouring everything around it.
"Everyone be careful!" Huan Yuechu, with her sharp eyes, was the first to spot the danger. She shouted loudly to warn her companions.
Upon hearing Huan Yuechu's warning, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Standing in front, Su Jinyan stared at the huge vortex, his brows furrowed, and he fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
After a moment, he raised his head and said with a firm gaze.
"This may be another test, but I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome this challenge!"
Upon hearing this, everyone responded enthusiastically, expressing their willingness to follow Su Jinyan's orders.
So they quickly formed a circle and gathered their spiritual energy together.
As spiritual energy continued to gather, a protective shield emitting a faint light gradually took shape.
Once they were ready, everyone shouted in unison and pushed the protective shield together, rushing headlong into the vortex.
As soon as they entered the vortex, all sorts of strange hallucinations overwhelmed them.
Some are terrifying monsters with ferocious faces and exposed fangs.
Some of them are heartbreaking and painful memories from the past...
These hallucinations came in waves, one after another, trying to break their will.
