Chapter 267: Trapped by Spell Sounds

Ji Chen followed the direction of the spell sounds and moved forward cautiously, like walking on the tip of a knife.

The surrounding air seemed to be solidified by this strange spell sound, suffocatingly oppressive.

In the darkness, his figure was as agile as a cheetah, his eyes flashing with vigilant light, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, mixed with the smell of damp soil, nauseating.

"This place is evil!" Ji Chen secretly thought.

Under his feet was a slippery stone slab road, every step making a slight "tap-tap" sound, appearing exceptionally clear in this silent environment.

He felt the temperature around him gradually dropping, the chill spreading upward from the soles of his feet, making him unable to help but shiver.

As he approached the source of the spell sound, Ji Chen felt his power gradually weakening, as if falling into a quagmire, unable to extricate himself.

This feeling made his heart filled with anxiety, and fine cold sweat also seeped from his forehead.

He clenched his fists, trying hard to mobilize the supernatural ability within his body, but found it like a mud cow entering the sea, with no reaction at all.

The surrounding environment also became more gloomy, twisted branches stretching toward the sky like ghost claws, bones of unknown origin scattered on the ground, emitting faint white light.

Everything was like a huge trap, waiting for him to step in step by step.

"Damn! What the hell is this spell sound?" Ji Chen cursed in a low voice.

He felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster, and his breathing becoming rapid.

He tried to use his supernatural ability to protect his body, but found this spell sound pervasive, completely unable to block it.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared ahead.

Ji Chen was overjoyed, hurriedly accelerating his steps, running toward the light.

"Yue'er?" When he saw the scene in the light, his pupils shrank violently.

Only to see Ceng Yue trapped in a huge black formation, her face pale, her breath weak.

"Chen..." Ceng Yue saw Ji Chen and shouted weakly, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Ji Chen roared, just about to rush forward, but suddenly stopped.

"Jie, jie, jie... you finally came..." An eerie voice sounded in the darkness...

Ji Chen stared fixedly at that pitch-black formation, a fire of anger rushing straight to his forehead.

He felt the power within his body being drained like drawing silk from a cocoon, crazily passing away; this strange spell sound was simply like a bottomless pit, greedily devouring his energy.

No, if this continued, let alone saving Ceng Yue, he himself would be afraid of dying here!

"Damn, forcing me to open a cheat, right?" Ji Chen cursed in a low voice, roaring in his heart.

He forcibly mobilized that special power within his body, like a thirsty giant beast, crazily absorbing the supernatural energy wandering in this ruin.

In an instant, the surrounding air began to twist, and strands of visible energy fluctuations surged into his body like a tsunami.

"Click, click," he felt like an energy furnace, crackling sounds coming from within his body, like frying beans.

The originally weak and powerless body, like a long drought meeting sweet rain, instantly filled with explosive power.

Around his body, a faint halo also emerged, like an indestructible protective cover, blocking those strange spell sound powers outside.

"Humph, this is more like it!" Ji Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.

He moved his wrists, feeling the surging power within his body; the feeling of being suppressed was swept away, as if reborn.

However, he was not dizzy with this sudden power; he knew deeply that now was not the time to be brave.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, scanning the surrounding environment.

Those twisted trees, scattered bones, all became chess pieces in his hands.

Only to see him raise his mouth slightly; he didn't rush directly toward Ceng Yue, but used the surrounding bones and trees to start setting up a counter-trap.

He was like a precise engineer, using the supernatural ability within his body to arrange those bones and trees according to a certain special rule.

On the ground, strands of invisible energy threads intertwined, forming a huge invisible net, and the surrounding air also began to become restless, as if it would erupt at any moment.

And every movement of Ji Chen was precise and fast, without the slightest hesitation, showing his superior calmness and wisdom.

"Jie, jie, jie... you... what did you do?" In the darkness, that eerie voice sounded again, its tone carrying a trace of terror.

Obviously, Ji Chen's move was completely beyond its expectation, making it feel a trace of unease.

Ji Chen didn't answer, just looked toward the distance, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Next, it's my turn to perform." He whispered.

Suddenly, some shadow creatures emerged from the spell sound, pouncing toward Ji Chen.

Shadow creatures emerged like a tide, twisted limbs, empty eyes, exuding nauseating stench.

They let out sharp roars, like evil ghosts from hell, baring fangs and brandishing claws as they pounced toward Ji Chen.

"Just this?" Ji Chen snorted disdainfully, his figure flashed, shuttling among the shadow creatures like a ghost, every attack precise and fatal.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Muffled collision sounds constantly sounded, the shadow creatures' bodies like broken porcelain dolls, falling apart.

Black blood splashed, like ink, falling into the air, exuding a suffocating fishy smell.

The shadow creatures' attacks were also exceptionally fierce; they brandished sharp claws, tearing space, making bursts of harsh shrieks.

Space flickered, like a broken mirror, making people dazzled.

Ji Chen was not afraid in the slightest; he dodged attacks with ease, while constantly launching counterattacks.

He was like an experienced hunter, calmly observing the prey, waiting for the best timing.

"It's time to end this farce!" Ji Chen took a deep breath, raising his power to the extreme.

He put his hands together, a powerful supernatural ability fluctuation erupted from within his body, like a volcanic eruption, sweeping everything around.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, a dazzling light flashed.

The energy wave swept across, the shadow creatures were like fallen leaves rolled up by a storm, one after another torn into pieces, disappearing into the air.

The surrounding space shook violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Ji Chen stood there, like an invincible existence, exuding powerful pressure all over his body, making people dare not look directly.

The smoke dissipated, and the surroundings returned to calm.

Ji Chen let out a long breath, just preparing to walk toward Ceng Yue, but suddenly froze.

Ceng Yue was still trapped in a huge energy shield, surrounded by complex runes, flashing with strange light.

The energy shield was like an indestructible cage, trapping Ceng Yue firmly inside.

Ji Chen's heart sank violently, a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He rushed toward the energy shield, patting it hard, but it was like hitting a hard rock, with no effect at all.

"Yue'er!" Ji Chen's voice was hoarse and desperate; he looked at Ceng Yue, whose face was pale inside the energy shield, his heart filled with a sense of powerlessness.

"Chen... don't come over..." Ceng Yue's voice was weak and powerless, yet carried a trace of determination, "This energy shield... is an ancient restriction... once approached... will be swallowed..."

"No!" Ji Chen roared, "I will definitely save you!" ===== CHAPTER 268 =====
