Chapter 245 Dilemma
In an instant, the spirit bird carried them to a cloud-shrouded mountain peak. Halfway up the mountain, a hidden cave appeared, its entrance gleaming with an eerie light. They leaped off the bird's back and cautiously entered the cave. The cave was filled with ancient runes and murals, depicting the past glory and terrifying calamities of the Memory Pearl. Just as they were carefully exploring, numerous vines suddenly sprouted from the cave walls, instantly binding them tightly. In a split second, Number Two swiftly drew his incredibly sharp sword. A flash of light, a cold gleam like lightning, instantly severed a portion of the tightly binding vines. However, these vines seemed to possess endless vitality; after being severed, they regenerated and spread at an astonishing speed. Number Three closed his eyes tightly, chanting an extremely obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation. Accompanied by incantations, his hands rapidly formed various mysterious hand seals, and with a forceful push forward, a dazzling surge of spiritual energy erupted from his hands, like a surging torrent, crashing violently against the surrounding vines. This surge of spiritual energy was immensely powerful, temporarily forcing the frantically attacking vines back several steps.
Taking advantage of this brief respite, they dared not relax for a moment, their eyes widening as they carefully observed their surroundings. Suddenly, they noticed that among the many shimmering runes, one rune's flashing frequency was noticeably different from the others. Number Three, quick-witted, immediately realized that this might be the key to controlling these troublesome vines.
Without much hesitation, Number Three took a deep breath and mustered his courage to approach the peculiar rune step by step. When he finally reached it, he unhesitatingly reached out his right hand and gently touched it. In an instant, an extremely powerful force surged into his body like a flood bursting its banks. This force was domineering and ferocious, causing Number Three to feel a sharp pain, and his body trembled involuntarily.
Despite this, Number Three did not back down. Instead, he gritted his teeth, endured the excruciating pain, and fiercely confronted this sudden and powerful force with his indomitable willpower. In this thrilling contest, Number Three gradually figured out the operating rules of this force and began to try to control and master it.
After a difficult struggle, Number Three finally succeeded in reversing the control over this force. With a thought, the vines, which had been wildly attacking and maneuvering, seemed to receive some kind of command, gradually ceasing their movements and slowly retracting into the cave wall. Number Three let out a long sigh of relief, sweat dripping from his forehead. Seeing this, the others quickly gathered around.
"Number Three, are you alright?" Number Two asked with concern.
Number Three shook his head and smiled weakly. "I'm alright, it's just that the power just now was too strong. But now we can continue forward."
The two rallied their spirits and cautiously proceeded along the passage. They hadn't gone far when a large door, radiating a ghostly blue light, appeared ahead. Ancient and mysterious patterns were carved into the door, exuding an aura of awe.
Number Two stepped forward and reached out to touch the door, only to be repelled by an invisible force. Just as the two were at a loss, Number Three remembered that the power he had just mastered might be useful. He walked to the door, concentrated his energy, and channeled the special power within him slowly towards the door. A miraculous thing happened: the patterns on the door seemed to respond and began to flicker. As Number Three increased his output, the door slowly opened, and dazzling light shone from within. The two stepped inside with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness, wondering what challenges or surprises awaited them beyond.
