Chapter 156: Dangerous Encounter on the First Journey

Encountering danger and obstacles on the first journey

The golden light faded, and the pattern on the parchment also disappeared, leaving only a faint warmth.

Elder Wei looked solemn and told me that the direction indicated by the prophecy concealed the key to my power, but it also came with great danger.

I didn't hesitate at all. Since fate has chosen me, I will face the challenges head-on.

Hao Yang held my hand tightly and gave me a firm look.

We said goodbye to Elder Wei and headed east.

After walking for a few days, a foggy forest appeared in front of us. The cold and damp air hit us in the face, making us shudder.

Thick fog blocked out the sun and the trees were hazy, like monsters with bared fangs and claws.

I felt uneasy and subconsciously tightened my grip on Hao Yang's hand.

He held my hand back, and the warmth of his palm made me feel a lot more at ease.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." His deep voice carried a reassuring power.

I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm.

Elder Lin once said that this misty forest has special powers that can interfere with people's perception and even hide ancient prohibitions.

This is undoubtedly the first hurdle in our new journey.

I carefully released a trace of spiritual power to explore the surrounding situation.

As soon as the spiritual power touched the fog, it disappeared without a trace, like a drop in the ocean.

It seems that this fog is indeed not simple.

I became more alert, slowed down my pace, and observed everything around me carefully.

It was so quiet around us that we could hardly hear any sound except our own breathing.

This kind of dead silence makes people feel even more depressed.

"Wait..." I pulled Hao Yang, feeling something strange, "This fog..." Before I could finish my words...

……

This fog seems to be moving!

" Before he finished speaking, a dark shadow rushed out from behind the tree, emitting a creepy and sinister laugh.

"Wei Yao! Do you think you can sit back and relax just because you won? Today is the day you die!" The voice was hoarse and harsh, like a demon from hell.

I glared at him, my blood boiling.

"You're playing tricks on me! Who are you?" The shadow scoffed sharply, "Who am I? You'll find out soon enough, in hell!"

After saying that, the black shadow launched an attack.

Black energy shot towards me like poisonous snakes, carrying a strong smell of death.

I dodged quickly, but the black shadow was incredibly fast. I could only barely avoid his attack and had no chance to fight back.

Seeing this, Hao Yang immediately rushed forward, but was entangled by another black shadow that suddenly appeared.

"Yang!" I was extremely anxious. These two black shadows were obviously coming for us, and their strength should not be underestimated.

The surrounding trees were hit by the black energy and groaned in pain. The huge trunks broke in half and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Some small animals fled in panic, and the originally quiet forest suddenly became chaotic.

I clenched my teeth and tried to stay calm.

Don't panic, I have to find a way!

The situation on Hao Yang's side was not optimistic either. Although he was agile, the opponent was obviously well prepared, with each move being ruthless and pressing him step by step.

I dodged an attack and saw Hao Yang being hit by a black shadow. He groaned and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

My heart sank suddenly and a surge of anger surged from the bottom of my heart.

"You're looking for death!" I roared...

I roared, forcibly suppressing the panic in my heart and trying to calm myself down.

escape?

There's no way to escape now!

I must fight!

Elder Lin said that I have enormous power hidden in my body, but I have not yet fully mastered it.

Now, it's time!

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and felt the power surging in my body.

A warm current surged from my dantian and flowed throughout my body, and I felt full of strength.

I suddenly opened my eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in them.

I remembered the method Elder Wei taught me, concentrating the strength in my palms, and then pushing out hard!

A dazzling light shot out from my hand, directly breaking through the black shadow's attack and hitting the black shadow's body hard.

The shadow let out a cry of pain and staggered.

"Yao'er, be careful!" Hao Yang's voice came from not far away, filled with deep worry.

I turned to look at him. Although he was still fighting with another dark shadow, he still cared about me.

His worried look warmed my heart and strengthened my determination to defeat the shadow.

I gathered my strength again, ready to deal a fatal blow to the black shadow.

However, at this moment, the black shadow suddenly disappeared, as if it had merged into the fog and disappeared without a trace.

what happened?

I looked around vigilantly. The fog was thicker than before and visibility was less than ten feet.

The surroundings were quiet, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Is the danger really over?

I felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen.

Hao Yang also came to my side. He looked around vigilantly with a frown on his face.

"This fog..." Before he finished speaking, I suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression coming from all directions. I grabbed Hao Yang's hand, and an unprecedented sense of fear enveloped me.

"Run!" I yelled...
