Chapter 347: The Power of the Purifying Artifact
As the lid of the sarcophagus slowly moved, a cold and decayed smell gushed out from the coffin and filled the entire hall. Li Yunfei and others unconsciously stepped back a few steps, staring at the gradually opening sarcophagus.
When the sarcophagus was fully opened, everyone saw a figure lying inside, shrouded in a layer of black mist, and their faces could not be seen clearly. The faint crying sound came from here, the sound was sad and mournful, as if telling of endless pain.
Li Yunfei clenched the artifact tightly, and the veins on his arms bulged. "What on earth is this thing?" His voice echoed in the empty hall with a slight tremor.
Lin Yue held the staff tightly in her hand. The gem on the top of the staff flickered faintly, as if it was affected by a mysterious force. Her voice trembled slightly: "I... I don't know, but this dark aura is too strong, and it makes my heart beat faster."
Zhang Hao took a deep breath, held up the spear in his hand, and looked forward firmly. "Who cares? We can't retreat. We must face it! Let's see what happens first."
The flames on Feng Yu's hands jumped more violently, like burning life, as if preparing for the upcoming danger. Her eyes flashed with determination, ready to release her power at any time.
Mo Ying flashed and quickly merged into the surrounding darkness and disappeared. He was good at hiding and assassination, and could always give the enemy a fatal blow at a critical moment. At this moment, he was lurking in a corner, waiting for the best opportunity.
Just as everyone was hesitating, the black mist suddenly surged and rushed towards them. Li Yunfei shouted, "Be careful!" He waved the magic weapon in his hand, and a beam of light shot towards the mist.
The mist was hit by the light and paused for a moment, but soon continued to surge. Seeing this, Lin Yue quickly cast a spell, and a magic shield appeared in front of everyone. The mist hit the shield, making a "sizzling" sound.
Zhang Hao was extremely anxious and could no longer stand this strange atmosphere. He rushed forward without hesitation, and the spear in his hand stabbed into the mist like a gust of wind. However, just as the spear touched the mist, a shockingly powerful force suddenly rebounded. Zhang Hao was caught off guard, and his body staggered back suddenly, almost losing his balance and falling to the ground.
Seeing this, Feng Yu's eyes flashed with determination. She pushed out a huge flame with both hands. The blazing flame roared like a fire dragon and rushed into the mist. The flame and the mist blended together, trying to disperse it, but the mist only became a little thinner and continued to move towards them step by step.
Mo Ying quietly jumped out of the darkness like a ghost, the short blade in his hand flashing with cold light, piercing the core of the mist. But when he approached the mist, he suddenly felt an invisible powerful force surging towards him. In the blink of an eye, he was violently knocked away by this force and hit heavily against the hard wall.
Li Yunfei saw that the situation was becoming more and more critical, and he knew that he could not sit still and wait for death. He shouted loudly: "Everyone, concentrate your strength and attack together!" Hearing this, everyone used their most powerful attack methods. For a moment, brilliant light, blazing flames, mysterious magic, and powerful forces gathered together to form a dazzling torrent, rushing towards the black mist with great momentum.
Under the combined efforts of everyone, the fog finally began to dissipate. Gradually, the figure in the sarcophagus became clearer.
It was a warrior in ancient armor, exuding a decayed atmosphere, as if he had been sleeping for countless centuries. His face was covered with deep and shallow scars, his expression was distorted, and pain and resentment were intertwined. His eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul, leaving only endless darkness. His body exuded a dark atmosphere, as if it had been eroded by the dark power for a long time and could not break free. Li Yunfei took a deep breath, walked forward carefully, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?" The warrior slowly raised his head and answered in a hoarse voice: "I... I am the guardian of this land, imprisoned here by the dark power." His voice revealed a sense of despair and helplessness. Lin Yue frowned and asked in confusion: "Guardian? Then can you tell us how to find the lost artifact?" The warrior shook his head and said in a heavy tone: "The artifact... The artifact has been contaminated by the dark power, and its power has become extremely dangerous. If you use it forcibly, it may cause unpredictable consequences." After speaking, he lowered his head again and fell into silence.
Zhang Hao's eyes widened. "What should we do? We can't just give up like this!"
The warrior took a deep breath and said, "Unless... Unless you can purify the power of the artifact."
Li Yunfei and Feng Yu looked at each other, nodded, and then walked towards the magic circle carefully. When they were less than ten meters away from the magic circle, the dark creatures suddenly attacked. They opened their bloody mouths, spewed black flames, and pounced on Li Yunfei and Feng Yu. Li Yunfei quickly performed Qinggong to avoid the attack of the dark creatures. He took out a sharp dagger from his arms and stabbed at a dark creature. The dark creature flexibly dodged Li Yunfei's attack, but its speed was still not as fast as Li Yunfei. Li Yunfei took the opportunity to seize the opportunity and stabbed the dagger into the dark creature's eyes. The dark creature screamed and fell to the ground. Feng Yu was not to be outdone. She cast Phoenix Fire and burned another dark creature to ashes. Seeing this, the remaining two dark creatures turned and fled. Li Yunfei and Feng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk towards the magic circle. They stood in front of the magic circle and felt a strong energy fluctuation. Feng Yu stretched out his hands and gently touched the magic circle, trying to activate it. However, the magic circle did not respond at all. Feng Yu frowned, thinking about how to activate this magic circle. Just then, she noticed some strange symbols engraved around the magic circle. These symbols looked like some kind of ancient writing. Feng Yu studied these symbols carefully and found that they might be used to control the magic circle. So, she began to stroke the magic circle gently in the order of these symbols. Sure enough, as she moved, the magic circle began to flicker. A dazzling light rose from the magic circle, illuminating the entire room. Li Yunfei and Feng Yu were enveloped by this light, and felt a warm power spread throughout their bodies. They knew that this magic circle had been successfully activated. Next, all they needed to do was wait for the magic circle to complete the purification of the artifact.
These dark creatures have twisted appearances, are covered with sharp thorns, and spew black flames from their mouths.
