Chapter 246

The mist in the valley still lingered, making it impossible to see the road ahead.

"This place is so mysterious, I wonder what else we'll encounter," Yukinoshita Yui said softly.

Yukinoshita Yano watched the surroundings warily: "Everyone be careful, be ready to deal with any danger that might appear at any time."

As they walked and walked, they suddenly heard a strange sound, like the breathing of some kind of creature. The women's hearts tightened and they all stopped in their tracks.

"What sound?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked with a frown.

Li An tilted his head to listen, then said: "It seems to be coming from ahead, let's go take a look."

The women carefully walked toward the direction the sound had come from.

As they got closer, the sound grew clearer and clearer.

When they arrived before a cave, the sound became even louder. Li An stopped and carefully observed the cave.

"There might be danger inside this cave," Li An said.

Yukinoshita Yui said, a little afraid: "Then are we still going in?"

Li An said firmly: "Since we're already here, naturally we have to go in and take a look! But everyone must be careful, ready to deal with any sudden situation at any time."

The women followed Li An into the cave. The inside of the cave was dark and damp, filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

As they walked and walked, they suddenly saw a ray of light ahead.

The group quickened their pace and walked toward the light.

When they arrived at the light, they discovered a huge crystal ball there.

The crystal ball emitted a mysterious glow, making it impossible not to be fascinated by it.

"What is this?" Yukinoshita Yano asked curiously.

Li An stepped forward and carefully observed the crystal ball: "This crystal ball seems to contain a powerful force."

Just as they were studying the crystal ball, a ray of light suddenly shot out from it, enveloping everyone within.

The women's hearts panicked and they all tried to break free.

"Don't panic!" Li An said loudly, "This might be some kind of trial."

Within the light, everyone seemed to enter a mysterious space.

They saw all kinds of fantastical scenes — enormous monsters, mysterious magic formations, ancient ruins, and so on.

"Where is this?" Yukinoshita Yui asked in terror.

Li An said calmly: "This should be a space created by the crystal ball. We need to find a way to leave here."

They began to explore this mysterious space.

During the exploration, they encountered various challenges and difficulties.

Sometimes powerful monsters, sometimes complex magic formations, sometimes puzzles hard to solve.

But under Li An's leadership, the women worked together with one mind, overcoming one difficulty after another.

Their strength also continuously improved during this process.

After much effort, they finally found a way to leave this mysterious space.

When they walked out from the light, they discovered they had returned to the cave.

The crystal ball still emitted a mysterious glow, but everyone no longer felt afraid.

"This crystal ball is truly amazing."

Yukinoshita Yano sighed.

Li An nodded: "This crystal ball might be an important treasure. Let's take it with us first and study it later."

The women carefully put the crystal ball away, then followed Li An to continue exploring the valley.

They encountered some minor dangers again, but all were easily resolved by them.

As time went on, they also gained a deeper understanding of this valley.

"This valley seems to hide many secrets," Hiratsuka Shizuka said.

Li An said: "That's right, we need to keep exploring and see if we can find more opportunities and treasures."

Just as they continued forward, they suddenly sensed a powerful aura coming from afar. The women's hearts tightened and they all stopped in their tracks.

"This aura is so powerful!" Yukinoshita Yui said in terror.

Li An frowned and said: "This aura is stronger than any monster we've encountered before. Everyone be careful."

They walked toward the direction the aura had come from, and soon saw an enormous figure.

It was a gigantic dragon-shaped exotic beast, radiating a terrifying aura from its body.

The women's faces changed drastically; they felt an enormous pressure..
