After shaking off the mysterious monster's attack, Su Yao and her companions did not dare to relax in the slightest as they continued deeper into the Relic. The ancient runes on the surrounding walls emitted a faint glow, as if recounting a past sealed away by time. The air grew heavier, and the flow of Spiritual Power turned bizarre, as though a pair of eyes was spying on their every move from the darkness.
"Everyone be careful, the Spiritual Power fluctuations in this place are very unstable." Su Yao lowered her voice, her vigilant gaze sweeping across her surroundings. The Divine Artifact in her hand grew slightly warm, as if warning of impending danger. Lin Yu held his Flying Sword, guarding closely beside Su Yao, while Zhao Ya and Lin Wan'er each kept watch on either flank. The four of them advanced slowly in a fan formation.
Suddenly, the sound of a mechanism turning echoed from the passage ahead. Before anyone could react, countless sharp arrows shot from hidden holes on both sides of the wall, weaving into a deadly net in mid-air. Su Yao quickly formed hand seals, and a golden shield instantly enveloped the four of them. The arrows struck the shield with a dense barrage of impact sounds, sending sparks flying in all directions.
