Chapter 329 Mysterious Stone Gate, Danger Lurks

Huanmo and the others stood before the massive stone gate. A deep roar emanated from behind it, as if a slumbering beast was about to awaken. The mysterious symbols on the stone gate shimmered eerily in the dim light, and the surrounding air grew heavy with the weight of this enigmatic power.

Huanmo gazed at the stone gate, a surge of intense curiosity and tension welling up within him. He thought to himself, "What lies hidden behind this stone gate? Are these symbols the key to unlocking it? We've endured countless hardships along the way; we cannot afford to fail here." He turned to look at his companions, only to see Yichen's brows furrowed, his eyes revealing a thoughtful expression; the woman in white bit her lip slightly, her face showing worry.

“Let’s take a closer look at these symbols; maybe we can find clues to open the stone door,” Huanmo said, squatting down to examine the symbols at the bottom of the stone door closely. Yichen also squatted down, gently touching the symbols with his fingers, trying to find patterns.

"These symbols seem to be arranged in a certain order, and the way some of them are connected is quite peculiar," Yi Chen muttered to himself. The woman in white also leaned closer, observing carefully. "Could it be a way to activate a code or mechanism?"

Just as they were engrossed in studying the symbols, the ground around them suddenly began to tremble slightly. Huanmo was startled and immediately stood up, cautiously looking around. "Everyone be careful, something seems wrong," he shouted a warning.

The tremors grew stronger, and then a group of small monsters radiating a ghostly blue light surged out from the darkness on either side of the stone gate. These monsters were small in size but agile, and they let out sharp screechs as they pounced on Huanmo and the others.

"It seems someone doesn't want us to open this stone door." Huanmo gripped his sword tightly, his eyes resolute. "Everyone, prepare for battle!"

Yi Chen swiftly drew his spear, assuming a fighting stance, while the woman in white also waved her ribbons, ready for battle. The little monsters pounced like a pack of hungry wolves. Huan Mo swung her sword at the nearest one, the blade striking the monster with a piercing sound. The monster shuddered slightly after being hit, but quickly charged forward again.

"These monsters have strange defenses; normal attacks don't seem to be very effective." Huanmo observed the monsters' reactions while fighting, secretly pondering a countermeasure.

Yi Chen shouted from the side, "Try attacking their heads, maybe that's their weak point!" Huan Mo seized the opportunity and thrust his sword into the head of one of the monsters. Sure enough, the monster let out a scream, collapsed to the ground, and the eerie blue light gradually faded.

"Yichen is right, everyone attack their heads!" Huanmo shouted. Hearing this, everyone changed their attack strategy, and the battle gradually became easier, with the little monsters being defeated one by one.

However, just when they thought they were about to defeat the monsters, suddenly, a gigantic monster burst out from behind the stone door. This monster was shrouded in black mist, and its eyes were like two burning red fireballs. Its appearance made the surrounding air cold and biting.

Looking at the enormous monster, Huanmo and the others felt a surge of fear. "What... what kind of monster is this? How can it be so powerful?" The white-clad woman's voice trembled slightly.

Huanmo took a deep breath, trying to suppress his fear, and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. We've been through so many battles, we'll definitely defeat it." Although he said that, he wasn't entirely confident.

The enormous monster roared and swung its massive claws at Huanmo and the others. Huanmo and the others quickly dodged, and the giant claws slammed into the ground, sending up a spray of gravel.

"We can't fight it head-on; we need to find its weakness," Yi Chen said while dodging the monster's attacks.

While dodging, Huanmo carefully observed the monster's body, trying to find its weakness. Suddenly, he noticed that the black mist on the monster's abdomen was relatively faint, which seemed to be a weak point.

"Everyone, pay attention! Attack its belly!" Huanmo shouted, seizing the opportunity to charge towards the monster's abdomen. Yichen and the woman in white followed closely behind, the three working in perfect coordination, attacking the monster's belly from different directions.

The monster roared in pain and struggled violently. Its struggle drove the surrounding smaller monsters even more frenzied; they charged at Huanmo and the others recklessly, trying to stop their attack.

Huanmo and his companions had to fend off attacks from the smaller monsters while simultaneously attacking the giant monster's abdomen, making the situation increasingly tense. Huanmo's strength was waning, and his arms ached terribly from the prolonged battle. But he had only one thought in his mind: "We must open the stone door and find the divine artifact."

Just as they were locked in fierce combat with the monsters, suddenly, the symbols on the stone door began to flash with dazzling light. Huanmo's heart skipped a beat; could it be that their attack had triggered a mechanism on the stone door?

The light grew stronger and stronger, eventually forming a massive pillar of light that shot into the sky. The enormous monster seemed to be affected by the pillar of light; its body began to tremble violently, and its movements became sluggish.

Huanmo and the others seized the opportunity and attacked the monster's abdomen with all their might. Finally, with their efforts, the monster let out a desperate roar, collapsed to the ground, and never moved again.

At that moment, the stone door slowly opened, and a powerful and mysterious force surged out from within. Huanmo and the others gazed at the opened stone door, their hearts filled with both excitement and tension.

"It's finally open. I wonder what awaits us inside," Yi Chen said.

"No matter what it is, we have to go in and see," Huanmo said firmly, then led his companions into the stone gate.

Inside the stone gate, all was dark, with only a faint glimmer of light in the distance. Huanmo and the others walked cautiously through, their footsteps echoing in the silent space.

Suddenly, Huanmo felt a chill creep up from behind. Startled, he quickly turned around. However, there was nothing there.

"What's wrong, Huanmo?" Yichen asked.

"I sensed a dangerous aura, but I didn't see anything," Huanmo said, frowning.

They continued forward, the sense of danger growing stronger. Something terrifying seemed to lurk in the darkness ahead.

Will they be able to find the divine artifact in this mysterious "forbidden land"? What exactly is that dangerous aura? What challenges and dangers await them? Everything is still unknown, but Huanmo and the others' adventure continues.
