Chapter 623 Fierce Battle Against a Mysterious Giant Beast and an Unexpected Discovery
Lin Yu and his two companions ran for their lives through the narrow passage. The roar of the mysterious behemoth behind them made their eardrums ache. With each step, the ground trembled violently from the behemoth's heavy footsteps.
"No, if we keep running like this, we'll be caught sooner or later!" Xiao Wang shouted, panting heavily. His lungs felt like they were on fire, and his legs ached from exhaustion, but fear unleashed an unprecedented power within him. Lin Yu ran while quickly observing his surroundings, discovering a narrow section of the passage ahead, with the walls on both sides sloping inwards, forming a natural bottleneck.
"Quick, get to the narrow passage ahead and we'll fight it!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice firm and powerful, giving his teammates a shot of adrenaline. The three ran to their designated position, quickly stood back to back, weapons in hand, eyes fixed on the approaching beast at the other end of the passage.
The colossal beast's massive body filled the entire passageway. Its eerie blue scales shimmered with an unsettling light under the glow of the passageway's gems. Its gaping maw revealed sharp, dagger-like fangs, and saliva dripped from its mouth, corroding small pits in the ground. It lunged forward, bringing with it a stench.
Lin Yu fired first, his energy beam shooting like lightning towards the giant beast's eyes, one of its few vulnerable spots. Xiao Wang and Ellie were not to be outdone, raining down attacks from various weapons upon the beast. Enraged by the attacks, the giant beast thrashed its head wildly, repeatedly slamming its head against the tunnel walls, sending debris flying.
During the fierce battle, Lin Yu discovered that although the giant beast had astonishing attack power, its movement was restricted due to the narrow passage. He had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "Let's take turns attacking, luring it to attack the wall and weakening its mobility!" The three cooperated tacitly, one person attracting the giant beast's attention while the other two took the opportunity to attack.
The behemoth was repeatedly enraged, each time lunging forward with all its might, only to crash into the solid wall. Cracks began to appear on its scales, and its body became covered with marks from the attacks, its movements growing increasingly sluggish. Just when they thought they were gaining the upper hand, the behemoth suddenly roared, its scales gleaming brightly, and a powerful surge of energy erupted from its body.
"Oh no, it's about to unleash its ultimate attack!" Ellie cried out in terror. The three quickly sought cover as a powerful energy wave swept in like a raging tide, causing the walls of the passage to collapse wherever it passed. When the energy wave dissipated, the three crawled out of the rubble, covered in dust and dirt, only to find that the passage ahead was completely blocked, and the giant beast had vanished, leaving behind only a deep, dark cave, seemingly beckoning them to venture deeper.
"What exactly is going on?" Xiao Wang asked, puzzled. Lin Yu frowned. "This giant beast is likely the guardian of this place. It seems the energy source is not far ahead." They cautiously walked towards the cave and discovered that the interior was a completely different world.
The cave was filled with a soft blue light, and the surrounding walls were covered with more complex symbols and patterns. In the center was a stone platform, on which sat a crystal that emitted strong energy fluctuations, which seemed to have some connection with the crystal they had been searching for.
"Could this be the energy source that controls everything?" Ellie exclaimed in surprise, about to step forward to investigate, but Lin Yu stopped her. "Be careful, this place is too eerie. Let's observe first." Just then, a slight noise came from a corner of the cave. The three immediately turned around, aiming their weapons at the source of the sound. A small mechanical creature slowly emerged. Its appearance was completely different from the mechanical creature that had attacked them before. It emitted a soft white light, and its eyes gleamed with a lively light, seemingly without malice.
