Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 141 Crisis in the Mist of the Illusionary Moon Abyss

Standing at the edge of the Illusionary Moon Abyss, Zhang Peng and the others felt a powerful and mysterious force rushing towards them. The purple mist seemed to have a life of its own, swirling and circling around them, trying to figure out the purpose of these intruders.

"This Illusionary Moon Abyss seems even more dangerous than we imagined." Li Ming frowned, gripping his sword tightly, his eyes revealing vigilance and tension. He knew all too well that the more mysterious a place was, the more dangers it concealed.

Lin Wan'er gently tugged at Zhang Peng's sleeve, her voice tinged with worry: "Zhang Peng, are we really going down?" Despite her fear, she looked into Zhang Peng's determined eyes and mustered her courage. She believed that as long as she was with Zhang Peng, there was no difficulty they couldn't overcome.

Zhang Peng took a deep breath and looked resolutely towards the bottom of the abyss: "We've come this far. The key to breaking the crystal ball's seal lies here. No matter how dangerous it is, we cannot back down." As he spoke, he slowly released the power of the four divine artifacts, forming a faint protective light around everyone.

Liu Ruyan took a few steps forward, carefully observing the environment around the abyss. Suddenly, she discovered a huge rock covered with runes: "Everyone, come and see! There are strange runes here."

The crowd gathered around, and Zhang Peng carefully studied the runes. These runes were vaguely related to the records in ancient books, seemingly guiding them on the path into the abyss. With the aid of the artifact's power, Zhang Peng gradually deciphered the meaning of the runes. It turned out that they needed to step into several mysterious nodes in the abyss at specific times and in a specific order in order to safely reach the bottom.

Just as they were preparing to act, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the abyss, followed by a group of black flying shadows rushing out of the mist. These shadows were shaped like bats, but had huge wings that shimmered with an eerie red light. Their eyes emitted a bloodthirsty glow as they pounced on Zhang Peng and the others.

"Watch out, it's a Phantom Bat!" Shen Yue cried out in alarm. She had read about Phantom Bats in ancient books; these bats were extremely fast and could unleash powerful phantom attacks that were impossible to defend against.

Zhang Peng reacted swiftly, unleashing his Five Elements spiritual power to form a Five Elements shield around the group. The phantom bats crashed into the shield, producing a hissing sound, causing the shield to tremble violently. The phantoms released by the bats attempted to disrupt the group's minds, inducing hallucinations.

Li Ming brandished his longsword, trying to repel the demonic bats, but they were too fast, and his attacks always missed. "Damn it, these guys are too agile!" Li Ming shouted anxiously.

Su Yao cast an ice spell, freezing the surrounding air in an attempt to slow the demonic bats. However, the demonic bats seemed to have an extremely strong resistance to the cold; they moved freely through the ice, completely unaffected.

Lin Wan'er concentrated her mind, channeling her wood-elemental spiritual power to summon countless resilient vines, which wove into a giant net in the air, attempting to trap the demonic bats. Caught in the net, the demonic bats emitted piercing screams, struggling desperately to break free.

Liu Ruyan then unleashed her unique swordsmanship, her purple sword energy weaving through the swarm of demonic bats, each strike hitting the bats with pinpoint accuracy. However, the number of demonic bats was overwhelming, surging in wave after wave, and the group gradually found themselves in a predicament.

Zhang Peng realized that this couldn't go on; he had to find the demon bats' weakness and deliver a fatal blow. He closed his eyes, concentrated, and, with the aid of the artifact's power, tried to sense the demon bats' energy fluctuations. Finally, he discovered that the demon bats' core power was in their abdomens, where a faint light flickered.

"Listen up, everyone! Attack the demon bats' bellies! That's their weak point!" Zhang Peng shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately changed their attack strategy. Zhang Peng unleashed his full power, fusing the power of the four divine artifacts together to form a powerful, five-colored beam of light that shot towards the swarm of demonic bats. The light contained immense power, instantly piercing through the demonic bats' defenses and striking their abdomens.

Li Ming, Lin Wan'er, Su Yao, Liu Ruyan, and Shen Yue all unleashed their full power, attacking the demonic bat's abdomen. With everyone's combined efforts, the number of phantom demonic bats gradually decreased. Finally, the remaining demonic bat let out a reluctant scream and disappeared into the purple mist.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, exhausted. The fierce battle had drained them of a great deal of spiritual energy. But they knew this was only the first challenge in the Illusionary Moon Abyss; many more dangers awaited them ahead.

After a short rest, Zhang Peng, guided by the runes, led the group cautiously into the abyss. They proceeded in a specific order, stepping onto the mysterious nodes one by one, each step fraught with unknowns and dangers. When they finally reached the last step, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. The purple mist gradually dissipated, revealing a massive cave before them, its interior shimmering with strange light, seemingly holding the key to unlocking the crystal ball's seal.
