Chapter 832: Risky Search for Secrets: Xiao Bei Chooses the Path Ahead
Xiao Bei stared at the dark blue vortex in front of him. The light was deep and mysterious, as if it could swallow all light.
It rotates silently, like a gaping abyss, inviting exploration and terrifying.
He could feel that it contained an ancient and powerful power that made people dare not touch it easily.
Just as he was hesitating, a low and magnetic voice sounded in the empty space.
"Young man, are you confused about the path ahead?"
Xiao Bei turned around suddenly and saw a man in a black robe appear silently behind them.
His face was hidden under the wide hood, revealing only a pair of eyes as deep as the starry sky, sparkling with an elusive light.
This person exuded a strange aura, neither belonging to the fairy world nor the demon clan, which made Xiao Bei alert.
"Who are you?" Xiao Bei's voice was cold, and his right hand was secretly gathering spiritual power.
"I'm the one who will guide you forward." The mysterious guide ignored Xiao Bei's vigilance. He slowly approached and spoke in a calm yet slightly bewitching tone, "The world behind this vortex is full of unknown dangers, but it also holds the answers you desire. The trace of the Shadow Clan assassin leader may be among them."
Hearing this, Xiao Bei's heart trembled violently.
The leader of the Shadow Clan assassins, this is exactly the purpose of his trip.
He looked back at Beili and Elder Lingfeng beside him. There was a hint of hesitation and solemnity on their faces.
"This person's origins are unknown, so don't trust him." Elder Lingfeng frowned and whispered to Xiao Bei, "We have no idea what's behind this entrance. It's too risky to enter rashly."
Bei Li pulled Xiao Bei's sleeve, with worry in her eyes: "Yes, Ah Bei, we can't be so impulsive. We must be careful."
Xiao Bei was aware of their concerns, but behind this vortex might be hidden the secret of the Shadow Clan assassin leader, or even involve a bigger conspiracy, which made him unable to give up easily.
"I understand your concerns, but..."
"But you don't have time to hesitate." The mysterious guide interrupted Xiao Bei, his tone carrying a hint of meaning, "Opportunities are fleeting. Once lost, they will never come back. If you want to solve all the mysteries, you must make a choice."
Xiao Bei looked at the vortex, then at the two worried people beside him. It was as if a huge rock had been thrown into his heart, causing ripples. He took a deep breath and was about to say something when he noticed that the guide suddenly walked towards the vortex and then stopped. "Remember my words, after entering, anything is possible."
Xiao Bei's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, almost making it difficult for him to breathe.
He seemed to see Beili being involved in unknown danger, his bright eyes filled with fear and despair; he also saw that the fairy world fell into greater chaos because of his wrong decision, and countless lives were destroyed.
Cold sweat soaked his clothes and his palms became sticky.
He clenched his teeth so tightly that his lower lip was almost bitten through. His brows were furrowed, and the furrow between his eyebrows seemed as deep as if it had been carved with a knife.
"I can't..." Xiao Bei's voice was hoarse and low, as if squeezed out from the depths of his throat, "I can't risk your safety."
The mysterious guide chuckled, his voice tinged with sarcasm. "Safe? Where in this world is there true safety? Do you think retreating will save you? You're just deceiving yourself."
These words were like a bolt of lightning, striking the deepest part of Xiao Bei's heart.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination.
"You're right, I can't escape! For Beili, for the fairyland, I must move forward!" He turned his head and looked at Beili and Elder Lingfeng with a firm gaze, "Elder, Beili, I must go in. Please believe me, I will definitely return safely!"
Tears flashed in Beili's eyes, but she did not stop him. She just held Xiao Bei's hand tightly and passed her strength to him.
"Abei, I believe in you! No matter what happens, I will be by your side!"
Elder Lingfeng sighed and patted Xiao Bei on the shoulder.
"Go, child. Remember, you are the master of the fairy world, and everyone's hopes are on your shoulders. We will wait for your return!"
Xiao Bei took a deep breath, turned around resolutely, and walked towards the dark blue vortex.
Every step he took was firm and powerful, as if he was determined to fight to the death.
The mysterious guide looked at Xiao Bei's back, with a barely perceptible smile on his lips.
"That's right," he whispered. "That's what a true master should be like."
Just when Xiao Bei was about to step into the vortex, the mysterious guide suddenly spoke: "Remember, after entering, the gears of fate will start turning again." Xiao Bei did not look back, but nodded slightly, and his figure disappeared in the faint blue light.
The vortex rippled for a moment, and then returned to calm, as if nothing had happened...
“I hope everything is as you expected.” The mysterious guide whispered as he looked at the calm whirlpool.
The dark blue vortex was like the mouth of a giant beast, swallowing Xiao Bei and the other two.
As soon as they entered, the biting cold came like a tide, invading every inch of their skin.
There was a sharp whistling sound in my ears, and the world in front of me was in chaos, with only the swirling blue light that was dazzling.
Suddenly, scarlet spots flashed in the blue light, becoming denser and closer.
"Be careful!" Xiao Bei shouted, and condensed dazzling golden spiritual power in his hands, protecting Bei Li behind him.
The scarlet spots of light quickly enlarged and turned into strange creatures shaped like bats. They had sharp claws and blood-red eyes, and let out shrieks. Like a group of bloodthirsty demons, they pounced madly on Xiao Bei and others.
Xiao Bei waved the spiritual power in his hand, golden light shone everywhere, and he repelled the approaching strange creatures one by one.
Although these creatures are numerous, their individual strength is not strong. Xiao Bei's attacks are sharp and precise, and every swing takes the lives of several creatures.
However, these creatures seemed endless, pouring in one after another, giving people a suffocating feeling of oppression.
Beili followed Xiao Bei closely. Although she was afraid, her eyes were full of determination.
Xiao Bei felt that her hand was a little cold, so he held it with his backhand and transferred the warm spiritual power to her.
"Don't be afraid, Li'er, I will protect you."
Bei Lihui held Xiao Bei's hand, and felt the strength coming from his palm, and her heart became much more at ease.
"Abei"
Elder Lingfeng also joined the battle. He waved the staff in his hand, emitting green rays of light, forming a barrier that kept some of the strange creatures out.
The battle became more and more intense, and the entire space was filled with shrieks and the roar of spiritual power colliding.
The number of strange creatures increased, and their attacks became more and more crazy, as if they wanted to tear Xiao Bei and others into pieces.
At this moment, Xiao Bei felt a powerful force coming from behind. He instinctively dodged sideways. A black claw shadow brushed past his cheek, leaving a blood mark.
"Be careful!" Bei Li exclaimed, and the spiritual power in his hand turned into a blade of light, hitting the strange creature that attacked him.
Xiao Bei looked back and found that the one who attacked him was a huge strange creature with black wings and sharp claws, and it exuded a disgusting fishy smell.
This huge strange creature let out a deafening roar and pounced on Xiao Bei again.
Xiao Bei's eyes focused, and the spiritual power in his hand turned into a golden beam of light, and he rushed forward...
"There are too many of these beasts!" Elder Lingfeng's voice was filled with fatigue. His mana was greatly depleted and cracks had begun to appear in the barrier.
Xiao Bei felt that his spiritual power was almost exhausted, and this was not a solution.
He must find a way to find the weaknesses of these strange creatures.
"Li'er, did you find anything?"
Beili carefully observed the strange creatures around her, and suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Abei, look at their ears!"
Xiao Bei followed Bei Li's gaze and discovered that the ears of these strange creatures were abnormally large and seemed very sensitive...
"Could it be..."
"Wait!" The mysterious guide's sudden voice sounded in the chaos, "Didn't you notice..." Xiao Bei's eyes were fixed on the huge ears of the strange creature, and his heart moved.
Is their weakness sound?
Thinking of this, he immediately mobilized his immortal power, transformed his spiritual power into high-frequency sound waves, and suddenly let out a deafening roar.
This howl was not an ordinary sound wave, but a sonic attack containing powerful immortal power. It was like an invisible sharp blade that instantly penetrated the eardrum of the strange creature.
I saw those strange creatures covering their ears in pain, screaming miserably, and their bodies shaking violently.
Their screams became hoarse and then disappeared completely.
The scarlet eyes gradually dimmed, and the huge body fell powerlessly to the ground, turning into black smoke and dissipating into the air.
"Abei, you are so awesome!" Beili exclaimed in surprise, with admiration shining in his eyes.
Elder Lingfeng also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded approvingly.
"Xiao Bei, your wisdom and decisiveness are admirable."
Xiao Bei smiled slightly, but he did not let his guard down.
This unknown world is full of weirdness and danger, and he must always be vigilant.
After getting rid of these strange creatures, the three continued to go deeper into this dark blue world.
The surrounding scene gradually became clearer, no longer a rotating blue light, but turned into a desolate scene.
The ground was covered with black rocks and the air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, making people feel suffocated.
Suddenly, a burst of arrogant laughter broke the silence.
"Hahaha... Xiao Bei, you're finally here!"
Xiao Bei was very familiar with this laughter; it was the voice of the Shadow Clan assassin leader!
Xiao Bei's heart trembled, and he immediately followed the direction of the laughter.
"Li'er, Elder, follow me closely!"
His figure transformed into a streak of golden light, piercing through the dark blue world as he rushed towards the arrogant laughter...
"I want to see what tricks you have!"
