Chapter 249 The Wrong Flute Sound
Chapter 249 The Wrong Flute Sound
After Li Yunfei and his companions defeated the Dark Mage, they continued to explore this mysterious town. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the ancient streets, adding a bit of beauty and mystery to this quiet place.
Li Yunfei walked at the front of the team, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings, taking every step carefully. The sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if he was still immersed in the fierce battle just now.
Lin Yue followed behind him. The light of the gem on her staff had dimmed a lot. Her face looked a little tired, but her eyes were still full of determination.
Zhang Hao dragged his spear, and the heavy tip of the spear collided with the hard stone road, making a crisp sound. He frowned and muttered, "This damn place is really creepy." Feng Yu walked lightly, her steps were elegant and agile, like a dancing phoenix. Her hands danced from time to time to maintain the surrounding fire shield to prevent sudden danger. Mo Ying was like a ghost, silently shuttling in the shadows. His figure was as elusive as a ghost, always paying attention to the movements around him. Suddenly, a melodious flute sound came from a distance, the sound was gentle and desolate, as if telling a sad story. The melodious melody echoed in the air, with an inexplicable sadness and sorrow. The three of them couldn't help but stop and listen. Zhang Hao frowned and whispered, "What's that sound? Why does it feel a little weird?" Feng Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around vigilantly, "Be careful, something might be about to appear." Mo Ying's eyes became sharper. He held the dagger tightly in his hand, leaned forward slightly, and took a fighting posture, ready to deal with any possible emergencies. As the sound of the flute got closer, the atmosphere around became more and more depressing. The melodious melody seemed to have a strange magic, which made people feel fear and uneasiness involuntarily. Li Yunfei stopped and reminded solemnly, "Everyone be careful, this flute sound is not right." Hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears and listened attentively to the mysterious flute sound. As the sound of the flute got closer, a thin layer of fog gradually filled the street, and some vague figures appeared in the fog. These figures were looming in the fog, like ghosts. "What is this?" Zhang Hao held his spear tightly, with a tremor in his voice, and his eyes stared at those figures vigilantly.
Lin Yue frowned, his voice was filled with worry: "It may be some kind of illusion." Li Yunfei took a deep breath, his eyes were firm and calm, and said: "No matter what it is, we can't retreat." As the words fell, the blurry figures gradually became clear. Surprisingly, these figures turned out to be a group of men and women in ancient costumes. Their faces were as pale as paper, their eyes were empty, as if they had lost their souls, and they walked towards Li Yunfei and others mechanically.
Seeing this, Feng Yu shouted, her voice full of fighting spirit and courage: "Let me try!" Before she finished speaking, she waved her hands, and a ball of blazing flames instantly flew out of her hands, like a burning meteor, flying towards those strange figures. However, the flames passed through the figures without causing any harm, and those figures still slowly approached, as if they were not afraid of the flames at all.
Li Yunfei's heart sank as he watched this scene, but he was not consumed by fear. Instead, he shouted loudly, "Charge!" His voice was as exciting as a war drum, inspiring everyone to move forward bravely. Everyone responded one after another, holding their weapons tightly, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.
Everyone mustered up their courage and rushed towards those figures. When they came into contact with the figures, they felt as if they were passing through a layer of cold water.
After passing the figure, they found themselves in an unfamiliar square. In the center of the square stood a huge statue with a distorted face, emitting an evil aura.
"Where the hell is this?" Zhang Hao was panicked.
Lin Yue observed the statue carefully, "This statue seems to contain a powerful dark power."
At this moment, the statue's eyes suddenly flashed red, and a black light shot out from the statue's mouth, rushing towards everyone.
Li Yunfei quickly waved his sword to block, "Everyone, disperse!"
The light collided with the sword, generating a huge impact force, and Li Yunfei was knocked back several steps.
Feng Yu quickly formed seals with his hands, and a huge flaming shield appeared in front of everyone, blocking the subsequent light attacks.
Mo Ying took the opportunity to go behind the statue and try to find its weakness.
Zhang Hao waved his spear and kept stabbing at the statue, trying to distract its attention.
Lin Yue muttered something, and the light of the gem on the staff gradually grew stronger, preparing to cast a powerful spell.
After a fierce battle, many cracks appeared on the statue and the black light gradually weakened.
Lin Yue saw the right moment, "Now!" She raised her staff high, and a powerful light shot out from the staff and hit the statue.
The statue collapsed with a loud bang and turned into a pile of rubble.
With the destruction of the statue, the fog in the square gradually dissipated and everyone returned to their original street.
"Finally solved." Zhang Hao sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
Li Yunfei looked into the distance, "But we can't relax yet, the conspiracy of the Dark Cult has not been fully revealed."
They continued walking and came to an old castle. The gate of the castle was closed and the walls were covered with vines, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
Li Yunfei walked forward and gently pushed the door. "This door seems to be under a spell and cannot be opened easily."
Lin Yue stepped forward and cast a spell to sense the magical fluctuations on the gate. "This is a complex sealing magic that will take some time to unlock."
Just when Lin Yue broke the seal, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the castle.
"Haha, do you think you can get in so easily?"
Li Yunfei shouted loudly: "Who is it? Come out if you have the guts!"
The laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by dead silence.
Lin Yue's forehead was covered with sweat. "It's almost done. Give me a little more time."
Finally, the seal on the door was released and it slowly opened.
A stale and decayed smell hit them in the face, and everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.
The castle was dark and eerie, with only a few faint rays of light coming through the windows.
They walked into the castle carefully, and saw a huge sarcophagus in the center of the hall.
"What is this?" Zhang Hao looked at the sarcophagus warily.
At this moment, the lid of the sarcophagus slowly moved, and a dry hand stretched out from inside...
