Chapter 287 Strange 6
However, peaceful and tranquil times always pass by in the blink of an eye, and the peaceful days could not last long. One quiet, still night, as Lingyu was engrossed in studying the mysterious crystal ball as usual, something unexpected happened—the crystal ball began to fluctuate abnormally once again!
In an instant, strange and eerie runes appeared faintly on the surface of the crystal ball, intertwining and entwining like nimble sprites, eventually converging into a clearly visible map. And the direction this map pointed to was none other than the distant, unreachable snow-capped mountains of the north. Seeing this sudden turn of events, Ling Yu's heart tightened; an ominous premonition surged within her: this was likely yet another new sign of danger!
After careful consideration, Lingyu knew the weight of her mission and resolutely decided to embark on this journey filled with unknowns and dangers. So, she bid a reluctant farewell to the kind and simple villagers, turned to face the howling north wind, and strode confidently towards the snow-capped mountains to the north.
Along the way, a fierce wind whipped up a deluge of snowflakes, blanketing the world in white. The biting wind, like a sharp knife, mercilessly sliced at Lingyu's delicate skin, while icy snowflakes fell in a flurry, quickly covering her completely. The road was rugged and difficult to traverse, the snow deep and slippery, but Lingyu showed no sign of retreating. With unwavering perseverance and an indomitable spirit, she trudged onward through this icy wasteland.
After overcoming countless hardships, Lingyu finally arrived at the foot of the legendary northern snow mountain. Looking up, she saw rolling mountains covered in thick snow, resembling a silver dragon winding and coiling across the sky. Clouds and mist swirled around the mountains, adding to their mystique.
Lingyu cautiously made her way up the steep mountain path. After walking for an unknown amount of time, a magnificent and solemn ancient ice palace suddenly came into view. This ice palace seemed to be carved from millennia-old ice, its crystal-clear walls radiating a chilling aura. The moment she stepped into the ice palace, a bone-chilling cold instantly swept over her, causing Lingyu to shiver involuntarily.
Looking around, the interior of the Ice Palace was vast and silent, with only a colossal ice pillar standing out in the very center. The pillar soared into the clouds, its entire body transparent, and one could vaguely see a cloud of pitch-black mist frozen within. This black mist, like a surging black ocean, constantly churned and surged, seemingly alive, emanating a chilling, malevolent aura from the depths of hell. This aura spread rapidly like a plague, sending shivers down one's spine.
A closer look reveals that the dark power contained within this black mist is incredibly strong and terrifying, far surpassing any enemy Ling Yu has ever encountered before. Faced with such a terrifying existence, even just getting a little closer will bring an irresistible sense of oppression.
Ling Yu gripped the crystal ball tightly in her hand, preparing to take action, when suddenly, a deep and intimidating voice rang out: "Hahahaha... You ignorant little girl, do you really think that defeating a wisp of my avatar means you can rest easy from now on?" As the voice fell, the churning black mist abruptly stopped moving, then slowly began to condense into a gigantic figure—it turned out that the true form of the dark power that had been manipulating everything from behind the scenes had finally awakened!
Seeing this, Ling Yu gasped, but quickly regained her composure. Taking a deep breath, she said, "No matter how powerful you are, I will never let you harm innocent people!" As she spoke, the crystal ball in her hand seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force, automatically rising to the surface and beginning to emit soft rays of light. This light, like warm sunlight, bathed Ling Yu, enveloping her entirely and continuously supplying her with powerful energy.
Feeling the power emanating from the crystal ball, Lingyu abruptly drew her sword, its blade gleaming coldly. Her eyes hardened with unwavering resolve as she stared at the colossal figure formed from black mist before her and declared, "Today's battle is either you or me!" Before her words even finished, Lingyu had already vanished, shooting towards the dark power like an arrow released from a bow. This breathtaking life-or-death battle had begun, and Lingyu, with an unwavering determination to protect her village and its inhabitants, resolutely plunged into the endless darkness.
