Chapter 252: Stone Tablet in the Black Mist

After some efforts, Gu Yang finally succeeded in calming the killing instinct of the giant beast. It no longer regarded him as an enemy, but seemed to have a strange sense of closeness to him.

Gu Yang knew that this was a miracle brought by the power of the law of life. He could not only use this power to protect himself, but also use it to establish a special connection with the surrounding life forms.

He gently stroked the scales of the giant beast, feeling its strong and warm vitality, and his heart was full of gratitude.

This encounter made Gu Yang more convinced that the power of the law of life would become his most powerful weapon in this lost land.

After all, he still remembered that the nine nether auras on the wounds melted instantly after encountering the power of the law of life, just like snow encountering the sun.

In the following time, Gu Yang continued to move forward.

But this time, he was no longer alone, but had a powerful companion to accompany him.

Riding this giant beast, Gu Yang moved forward even faster.

One man and one beast went deep into the depths of the lost land together, their steps were firm, and their eyes flashed with curiosity and desire for the unknown world.

Their journey has just begun, and this mysterious land still has too many secrets waiting for them to discover.

…

Time passed, and Gu Yang and his giant companions kept shuttling through the dense forest.

Every step was on the thick fallen leaves, making a rustling sound.

His mind always remained highly alert, and the power of the law of life flowed in his body, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

As they went deeper, the air around them began to become moist and dull, and the air of the Nine Netherworld gradually became stronger.

This breath carried a smell of decay and death, which made people feel suffocated.

Gradually, the trees that came into view began to distort.

The color of the trees gradually became darker, and the branches grew randomly, as if dry claws were stretching wantonly.

Gu Yang frowned. He could feel that the environment here was extremely unfavorable to vitality. Even his giant companions seemed a little uneasy, and the four hooves were no longer as calm as before.

At this time, they came to an open area, where the Nine Nether Qi was even stronger, almost forming a visible black fog.

There was a strange light flowing in the fog, as if some unknown energy was stirring.

Gu Yang stopped, he knew that this might be a dangerous place, but it might also hide a huge secret.

He took a deep breath and tried to use the power of the Law of Life to dispel the Nine Nether Qi around him.

However, these Nine Nether Qi seemed to be extremely stubborn. They did not dissipate immediately in front of the power of the Law of Life, but began to slowly wriggle, as if they had life.

Gu Yang was not discouraged. His mind was more focused. The power of the Law of Life continued to flow out like a spring, and it was in a long-lasting confrontation with the Nine Nether Qi.

Slowly, the Nine Nether Qi began to change. They seemed to be pulled by some force and gradually gathered in the center of the open area.

Gu Yang stared at that place, he could feel that there was a strong life wave awakening there.

His heart was full of curiosity, and at the same time a little nervous.

This fluctuation was different from any life fluctuation he had sensed before, full of mystery and unknown.

At this moment, the Nine Nether Qi suddenly burst out with a strong suction force, as if to swallow everything.

Gu Yang and his giant beast companion felt a huge pressure, and their bodies involuntarily moved closer to that place.

Gu Yang knew that danger was approaching, and he did not dare to be careless.

He used all his strength to operate the Qi and blood power in his body, and his strong body was firmly fixed in place to resist the suction.

At the same time, his giant beast companion also let out a low roar, using its powerful body to resist part of the pressure for Gu Yang.

Gu Yang held the giant beast's mane tightly and stared at the land in front of him that was shrouded by the Nine Nether Qi.

He could feel that the strong suction seemed to be leading them to an unknown destination.

Although he was uneasy in his heart, his desire for knowledge drove him to move forward.

Gu Yang whispered to the beast: "We have to be careful. The atmosphere here is too strange. There may be unknown dangers hidden."

The beast seemed to feel the tension of its master. It lowered its head and kept exploring the road ahead with its nose.

As they went deeper, Gu Yang found that the scene around him became more strange.

The Nine Nether Qi condensed into streams of black quicksand, slowly flowing under their feet, like a black net, trying to trap them.

Feeling the uneasiness in the beast's heart, Gu Yang stopped and patted the beast's head to comfort it.

His eyes were firm. Even in the face of the strong invasion of the Nine Nether Qi, he had no intention of retreating.

Driven by him, the beast also slowly went deeper into the land shrouded in black fog.

As they went deeper, the surrounding black fog became thicker and thicker, as if it could swallow all the light.

Gu Yang could clearly feel that the Nine Nether Qi was like a conscious creature, trying to erode his will.

But Gu Yang was not someone who would be easily defeated.

His heart was filled with determination, and the power of the law of life flowed through him, like a bright light, dispelling the darkness around him.

They continued to move forward, and the ground under their feet began to become soft, as if every step would lead them into an endless abyss.

Gu Yang carefully guided the beast to avoid those areas that seemed solid but were actually dangerous.

The depths of the black fog were still a jungle, where the trees were twisted and deformed, and the branches were like tentacles, swaying as if waving to them.

Gu Yang knew that every inch of land here could be a trap, and he carefully guided the beast to avoid those places that seemed ordinary but were hidden with murderous intent.

After a while, they finally arrived at the place where the Nine Nether aura was the most concentrated. The black fog here almost condensed into substance, making people breathless.

Gu Yang had to use the power of the law of life more frequently to protect him and his companions from the erosion of the Nine Nether aura.

Suddenly, a faint light flickered in the black fog, attracting Gu Yang's attention.

His intuition told him that there might be a key hidden there.

He decided to take a risk and commanded the beast to slowly move in the direction of the light.

As they approached, the light gradually became brighter, and a huge black stone tablet appeared in their sight.

The stone tablet was engraved with ancient and complex runes, exuding a mysterious luster.

These runes seemed to be in some kind of silent confrontation with the Nine Nether Qi, causing the surrounding black fog to form a vortex around the stone tablet.

Gu Yang got off the back of the giant beast and walked towards the stone tablet. His mental power spread out, gently touching the runes, trying to interpret their meaning.

At this moment, the runes on the stone tablet suddenly glowed, a strong vibration came from the stone tablet, the ground began to tremble, and the Nine Nether Qi seemed to be summoned by something and rushed to the stone tablet frantically.

Gu Yang felt a powerful force awakening inside the stone tablet. At the same time, the Nine Nether Qi that came from all directions was obviously preventing the revival of this force.

As time passed, the Nine Nether Qi in the vicinity became more and more dense.

And in the dense Nine Nether Qi, shadows gradually emerged.

As the Nine Nether Qi surged, Gu Yang frowned. He could feel that these shadows were not just simple illusions. They seemed to have their own consciousness and were constantly condensing from the surrounding black fog.

The beast's mane also stood up due to nervousness, and its low roar echoed in the black fog, which seemed particularly dull.

The shadows surrounded Gu Yang and the beast silently like hunters, and their outlines became clearer and clearer, as if they were creatures shaped by the Nine Nether Qi. The empty eyes stared at them tightly, full of hostility.

The rich wood element magic power condensed in Gu Yang's hand and turned into a long sword.

At the same time, the sword body also integrated the light of the law of life.

Gu Yang held the long sword tightly, and the tip of the sword trembled slightly, emitting a trace of cold light.

He could feel that these shadows were not illusory, they were slowly approaching with cold murderous intent.

The beast felt the fluctuations of the sword in the master's hand and became more alert. Its limbs squatted down, and its body was tense, like a bow about to be fired.

Gu Yang took a deep breath, he knew he had to stay calm.

The power of the Law of Life flowed through his body. He tried to communicate with the shadows, but they didn't seem to be driven by reason and were simply attacking.

He whispered to the beast: "Prepare for battle, but don't approach them easily. We don't know their power."

The beast let out a low roar to show understanding.

Its eyes were fixed on the gradually clear shadows, ready to respond to possible attacks at any time.

The shadows began to move. They seemed to be summoned by something and moved in a strange rhythm. Their movements were coordinated and chaotic, making them elusive.

Suddenly, a shadow pounced on Gu Yang, so fast that it was almost difficult to catch.

But Gu Yang's reaction was faster. With the blessing of the Law of Life, his body dodged lightly like a breeze.

At the same time, the long sword in his hand was swung out, and the sword light was like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, cutting through the black fog and hitting the shadow directly.

The sword light passed through the shadow's body, accompanied by an unwilling roar, and the shadow disappeared.

But this was just the beginning. More shadows came like a tide, and Gu Yang and the beast were forced into a bitter battle.

During the battle, Gu Yang gradually realized that these shadows seemed to be condensed by the Nine Nether Qi, and their existence seemed to be to protect something or prevent something from happening.

This discovery made Gu Yang realize that the runes on the stone tablet must hide a major secret.

In one confrontation after another, Gu Yang kept trying to touch those shadows with the power of the Law of Life. He found that whenever the power of the Law of Life came into contact with the shadows, the shadows would stagnate for a short time, as if they were suppressed.

Seizing this opportunity, Gu Yang began to constantly try to use the power of the Law of Life to erase these Nine Nether Shadows.

This was destined to be a hard battle, as there were too many shadows around.

The battle lasted for an unknown period of time, and Gu Yang felt a little overdrawn, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

He knew that as long as he persisted, he would always find a chance to win.

At this moment, a stronger Nine Nether Qi than before surged out from the ground, and this power seemed to inspire the violence of the shadows.

Gu Yang felt an unprecedented pressure, and he knew that this battle had reached the most critical moment.

He stared at the shadows, they seemed to be becoming more substantial and more dangerous.

But Gu Yang did not retreat, his heart was full of faith in life, the power of the law of life was boiling in his body, and he was also gathering strength, ready to launch a final counterattack.

"Hoohoo--"

A large number of shadows began to solidify and constantly gathered around Gu Yang.

Gu Yang's figure leaped in the darkness, and every time he swung his sword, it brought up a series of brilliant lights, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding Nine Nether Qi.

His eyes were firm, and every time the sword pointed, it was the weakest point of the shadow.

The giant beast was also unwilling to be outdone. Its limbs stomped violently on the ground, and every impact caused the shadows to disintegrate instantly.

Its roar shook the sky, as if telling the shadows that there was still an unyielding life force on this land.

Gu Yang felt the courage of the giant beast, and a warm current surged in his heart.

He knew that he was not alone, they were partners fighting side by side.

His swordsmanship was more decisive, and every time he swung his sword, it was accompanied by the power of the law of life, making the sword light draw beautiful arcs in the darkness.

However, the shadows seemed endless, and they continued to pour in from all directions driven by the Nine Nether Qi.

Although Gu Yang and the giant beast were brave, they also felt unprecedented pressure in the face of such an enemy.

Gu Yang knew that he couldn't go on like this, and he had to find a way to break the deadlock.

His eyes fell on the mysterious stone tablet again, and those ancient runes seemed to be telling him something.

Gu Yang's heart moved, and he decided to take a risk and see if he could find a way to solve these shadows on the stone tablet.

The next moment, his figure was like a phantom, shuttling rapidly in the gaps of the shadows.

At this time, the giant beast also seemed to understand Gu Yang's intentions, and its attack became more purposeful. It used its powerful body to open up a path and gain space for Gu Yang to move forward.

A moment later, Gu Yang broke through the obstacles of the shadows all the way and finally came to the stone tablet.

The next moment, his hands pressed tightly on the stone tablet, and the power of the law of life poured into the stone tablet like a torrent.

At this moment, a strong light burst out from the stone tablet, and those ancient runes seemed to be activated, and they began to emit a dazzling brilliance.

As the light spread, the Nine Nether Qi and the shadows began to dissipate rapidly, as if they had met their nemesis.

Gu Yang and the giant beast felt a great sense of relief, and their eyes finally became bright again.

As the black fog dissipated, the shadows also retreated like a tide, and finally disappeared completely into the air.

Gu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that they had finally won this difficult battle.

At the same time, the secret on this stone tablet was waiting for him to uncover... (End of this chapter)
