Lin Yu concentrated wholly on sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations within the toxic mist that were resonating with the runes on the stone tablet. Though as fine as a thread, the fluctuations seemed to possess an invisible pull that made his heart grip tightly. This ripple carried an indescribable ancient rhythm, as if traversing a long tunnel of time to come from antiquity, recounting unknown secrets.
"Nobody make a rash move yet—this toxic mist might hold clues to the Five Elements Spirit Land!" Lin Yu shouted with all his might. His voice echoed through the poison fog, carrying a trace of urgency and resolve. He knew full well at this moment that the slightest carelessness would mean not only missing the clues, but plunging all four of them into irrevocable doom.
Zhao Hu's voice was full of anxiety. "Brother Yu, this toxic mist is getting thicker and thicker. If this goes on, our Spiritual Energy Shields won't last much longer!" The toxic mist was like thick ink, continually eating away at the Spiritual Energy Shields. The ripples spreading across the surface of the shields grew increasingly violent, as though they might shatter at any moment.
