After defeating the Chaotic Behemoth, the group took a brief rest and continued deeper into the Dimensional Dungeon. The surrounding scenery grew increasingly surreal; ancient, towering boulders stood scattered about, covered in twisted runes that emitted mysterious ripples, as if whispering of secrets buried by the passage of time. The air grew heavier, each breath laden with oppression, as though the space itself resisted their arrival.
Suddenly, a massive stone forest appeared ahead. Eerie purple mist drifted through the pillars, with dark shadows faintly flickering within. Lin Xiu activated Stealth with heightened vigilance, his figure melting into the mist as he stepped into the stone forest to scout the path ahead. Alice followed closely behind, her short blades glinting with cold light, her eyes locked on Lin Xiu's back, ready to react to any sudden emergency.
No sooner had they stepped into the stone forest than countless sharp stone spikes shot abruptly from the ground, moving at blinding speed and in a completely chaotic pattern. Lin Xiu flashed aside, using the power of shadows to evade the barrage of spikes while shouting a warning to the others. Lu Chen swung his warhammer, smashing the approaching spikes to pieces, while Su Yu fired wind blades from the rear, attempting to cut off the source of the spikes.
