Chapter 735

Li An gently patted Guo Yao's back, his eyes filled with tenderness and pride. "Yes, we did it. Next, it's time to seal the Shadow of the Abyss."

Deep in the gloomy dense forest, traps lay thick, and Li An's figure darted through them swiftly, like a phantom. His gaze was sharp as an eagle's, not missing even the slightest clue. At the end of the previous chapter, they had triggered the traps and attracted the siege of countless mechanical beasts, but under Li An's wits and strength, those mechanical beasts were defeated one after another. Now, he was facing the final trap—a complex maze~.

Li An took a deep breath, calmed the turmoil in his heart, then slowly stepped into the maze. Inside the maze, dim lights flickered, illuminating the unknown path ahead. Relying on his keen intuition and observation, Li An nimbly shifted left and right within the maze, every choice precise and flawless.

"Phew, finally found it." Li An looked at the stone box before him, a flash of delight in his eyes. He carefully opened the stone box, only to see a key radiating brilliant light lying quietly inside—the Key of Light.

"Li An, you truly did not disappoint me." Sophia's voice suddenly rang out behind Li An, and she looked at him with an approving gaze.

Li An turned around, handed the Key of Light to Sophia, and smiled: "Thanks to your clues, we were able to find it so quickly."

Sophia took the key, a satisfied smile appearing on her face: "Next, it's the Key of Darkness. According to ancient records, it's hidden in the Abyss of Darkness."

Hearing the Abyss of Darkness, both Li An and Guo Yao shuddered. That place was the lair of dark creatures, full of dangers. But to seal the Shadow of the Abyss, they had to go.

The three of them trekked all the way and finally arrived at the edge of the Abyss of Darkness. Here, everything was pitch black, with only the occasional roar of wild beasts breaking the silence.

"Li An, are you sure you want to go in?" Guo Yao looked at the deep, dark expanse ahead, her eyes full of worry.

Li An tightened his grip on Guo Yao's hand and said firmly: "For the peace of the world, we must do this."

Having said that, the three of them stepped into the Abyss of Darkness. The moment they entered, they felt an oppressive aura, as if countless eyes were watching them from the darkness.

"Be careful." Li An warned in a low voice, while vigilantly surveying the surroundings.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past, aiming straight for Li An's vital point. Li An tilted his body and easily dodged it. He looked in the direction where the shadow had vanished, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Who's there?" Li An shouted loudly.

At this moment, a woman in a black robe slowly walked out of the darkness, a longsword glinting with cold light in her hand—she was the guardian of the Key of Darkness—Alice.

"Who are you? Why have you come here?" Alice's voice was icy and shrill, filled with hostility.

Li An stepped forward and politely bowed: "We have come to seek the Key of Darkness, in order to seal the Shadow of the Abyss."

Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Alice's eyes, but she quickly returned to her cold demeanor: "Just the likes of you? Hmph, I think you've come here to die, haven't you nine.".
