Chapter 74: Unknown Exploration

Ji Chen arrived at the entrance of the unknown area.

The heavy darkness seemed to be vomited from the entrance, carrying a pungent stench of decay, almost wanting to swallow him.

The cold wind blew from inside, like countless tiny ice needles stabbing his face, freezing his skin into a tight contraction.

He narrowed his eyes, trying to see the scene inside, but could only see a bottomless darkness, like a giant beast opening its blood-red mouth, quietly waiting for the prey to be delivered to its door.

"Good guy, this atmosphere, properly a horror movie scene!" Ji Chen complained, but there was not much fear in his tone.

He took a deep breath, operated the Ability in his body to the limit, and a layer of faint golden light covered the surface of his body, as if putting on a layer of armor for himself.

"Come on, let's see what kind of monsters are hidden inside!" He gave a low shout and resolutely stepped into the darkness.

As soon as he entered the area, Ji Chen felt a powerful pressure rushing toward him, as if the surrounding air had become sticky, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"This place is a bit evil!" He thought to himself, becoming even more vigilant.

It was pitch black in the area, terrifyingly silent, with only his own breathing echoing in his ears.

Under his feet was slippery mud, stepping on it felt soft, as if it would sink in at any time.

The air was filled with a nauseating fishy stench, making him want to vomit.

Ji Chen groped forward cautiously, walking with extra caution every step.

He knew that in this eerie place, a slight carelessness would lead to eternal damnation.

"This feeling is more exciting than walking at night!" He mocked himself while carefully observing the surrounding environment, trying to find some clues.

Suddenly, he felt that he seemed to have stepped on something under his feet, emitting a "crack" sound.

Bad!

It's a mechanism!

He was shocked in his heart, hurriedly wanting to withdraw, but it was already too late.

Countless cold lights suddenly shot out from the surrounding walls, attacking him like poisonous snakes.

"Damn, playing for real?!" He exclaimed, his body leaping backward violently...

"This mechanism is a bit interesting..."

Ji Chen leaped backward violently, instantly dodging most of the cold light, but a sharp ray of light still grazed his left arm, cutting a deep wound, and blood instantly gushed out.

He endured the pain, quickly stood firm, the surrounding mechanisms did not stop, but became even more fierce, the cold light like ubiquitous poisonous snakes, constantly attacking him.

"What kind of hellish place is this!" Ji Chen roared, enduring the severe pain, quickly operating the Ability to the limit, the golden light in his body became even more brilliant, like an invisible shield, blocking the surrounding cold light outside.

However, the attacks of the mechanisms were wave after wave, as if endless, leaving him almost no chance to catch his breath.

"This mechanism is a bit interesting..." Although he said this, his heart was spinning rapidly, looking for a way to crack it.

Just then, he suddenly felt his Ability and the energy of the mechanism produce a subtle resonance, as if there was some mysterious connection between the two.

"So that's it!" Ji Chen, sure enough, with his adjustment, the mechanism attacks around gradually weakened and would no longer pose a substantial threat to him.

"This feeling... is too cool!" A confident smile appeared on his face, and his movements became more and more proficient.

He constantly adjusted the frequency of the Ability, gradually mastered the attack pattern of the mechanism, and even began to counter the mechanism's attacks.

Just then, he suddenly felt an even more dangerous aura surging from all directions.

Ji Chen frowned, quickly adjusted his posture, and prepared to meet the new challenge.

"Do you really think I'm so easily trapped?" He sneered, his eyes flashing with firm light, the golden light around his body becoming even more dazzling, as if declaring war on the darkness.

"Come on, let's see what other tricks you have!" He gave a low shout, his gaze like a torch, staring fixedly ahead, preparing to meet the enemies about to appear.

As soon as the voice fell, dozens of black shadows suddenly emerged from the darkness around, rushing toward him like ghosts.

These black shadows were extremely fast, their figures eerie, holding various weapons in their hands, exuding cold killing intent.

"Good come!" Ji Chen gave a low shout, the golden light around his body instantly skyrocketed, like an exploding sun, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The battle broke out instantly, and Ji Chen shuttled freely among the black shadows like a tiger descending the mountain.

He used both fists and feet, every strike containing powerful Ability, shattering the surrounding rocks and emitting bursts of roar.

The attacks of the black shadows were fierce, but they were resolved by him time and time again, unable to hurt him at all.

"Just this little ability? Too disappointing!" Ji Chen mocked the enemy while fighting.

His tone was relaxed and casual, as if this battle was just a game.

However, his eyes were unusually sharp, paying attention to the movement around him at all times, not daring to relax in the slightest.

In the intense battle, Ji Chen suddenly thought of Zeng Yue.

That cold-faced girl seemed to be by his side at this moment, accompanying him in the battle.

His eyes became gentle, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

It was as if Zeng Yue's aura permeated the surroundings, making him feel a hint of warmth and peace.

He fought even more bravely, every movement containing powerful power, beating the black shadows into pieces.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the surrounding rocks instantly collapsed, and the black shadows were shaken away by the powerful shockwave, falling to the ground one after another.

The battle ended, and Ji Chen stood in a ruin, panting heavily.

He looked around and discovered a hidden passage.

"It seems this is the road to the truth." He clenched his fists.

At the end of the passage stood a Mysterious Person wearing a black robe, exuding suffocating pressure.

"You finally came." The Mysterious Person spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, "I have been waiting for you for a long time." ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
