Chapter Thirteen: Perilous Situations Within the Castle
Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen entered the castle, and the sight inside amazed them. Brilliant gems shone with a mesmerizing light, precious magical artifacts were displayed on shelves, and the surrounding walls were covered with ancient and mysterious patterns.
They moved forward cautiously, each step filled with vigilance. Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed through the castle.
"Hahaha, you've finally arrived!" The voice seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to discern its source.
Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen exchanged a glance, their unease growing stronger.
"Who is it? Hiding like a coward, come out if you dare!" Liu Yu shouted.
At that moment, a dark figure slowly emerged from the darkness. He was tall and shrouded in a layer of black mist, making his face impossible to see.
"Intruders, you will become prisoners of this castle!" The shadowy figure stretched out a hand, and a powerful force swept towards Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen.
Liu Yu quickly shielded Bai Suzhen behind him and simultaneously cast a spell to defend themselves. However, the force was too powerful, and they were forced back several steps.
Seeing this, Bai Suzhen waved her hands, and water elements gathered in her palms, forming a water dragon that rushed towards the dark figure. The dark figure sneered, and with a flick of his sleeve, the water dragon vanished without a trace.
"Is that all you've got?" the shadowy figure sneered.
Liu Yu gritted his teeth, took out an ancient book from his pocket, and quickly flipped through it, hoping to find a solution.
"Suzhen, I've got an idea!" Liu Yu said. "Let's use the 'Yin-Yang Union Technique' together."
Bai Suzhen nodded, and the two clasped hands, their magical powers merging. A powerful light erupted from them, rushing towards the shadowy figure.
The shadowy figure sensed this power, its expression changed slightly, and it began to take it seriously.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate, and the atmosphere inside the castle was extremely tense. Just then, the castle floor suddenly began to tremble violently, and jewels on the walls began to fall.
"Oh no, the castle is about to collapse!" Bai Suzhen exclaimed.
Liu Yu made a quick decision: "Never mind him for now, let's find an exit!"
They searched the castle for an exit, only to find that all the passages were blocked.
"What should we do, Liu Lang!" Bai Suzhen asked anxiously.
Liu Yu was thinking calmly when he suddenly saw a mural that seemed to contain some kind of clue.
He carefully examined the mural and found that the patterns on it were somewhat similar to the runes they had encountered before.
“Perhaps this is the key to opening the exit!” Liu Yu said.
Following the clues on the murals, they searched for the corresponding runes in the castle and activated them in a specific order.
As the last rune was activated, a stone door slowly rose, letting in the sunlight.
Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen were overjoyed and were about to rush out when the dark figure blocked their way again.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!" the shadowy figure roared.
Liu Yu glared at him angrily: "Don't push me too far!"
After saying that, he and Bai Suzhen once again unleashed powerful magic to engage in a final battle with the shadowy figure.
The battle was exceptionally fierce, and the entire castle teetered on the brink of collapse under the onslaught of their magical power.
Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen fought with all their might and finally managed to temporarily repel the shadowy figure. They seized the opportunity to rush out of the stone gate and leave the castle.
However, before they could even catch their breath, they found themselves in a maze. The maze walls were towering, and the paths were intricate and complex.
"What should we do?" Bai Suzhen looked around at the maze, her brows furrowed.
Liu Yu comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll definitely find a way out."
They began to grope their way through the maze, encountering various traps and mechanisms along the way. There were fire-breathing statues, suddenly sinking ground, and fog that could disorient them.
But Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen supported each other, and with their wisdom and courage, they turned danger into safety time and time again.
After a long time, they finally saw the exit of the maze.
However, just as they were about to leave the maze, a group of monsters appeared at the exit.
These monsters came in all shapes and sizes; some had sharp claws, others had enormous wings, and all of them had fierce expressions.
"Hand over the treasures you obtained in the castle, or you won't be leaving!" the leader of the monsters shouted.
Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen did not back down; they stood side by side, ready to face the new battle.
Liu Yu unleashed powerful magic, sending beams of light towards the demon. Bai Suzhen, on the other hand, used water elements to create curtains of water, blocking the demon's attacks.
The monsters unleashed their special skills, and for a moment, the maze exit was ablaze with light, and the sounds of colliding spells were deafening.
During the fierce battle, Liu Yu discovered the monsters' weakness.
"Suzhen, attack their left flank!" Liu Yu shouted.
Bai Suzhen understood immediately, and a powerful water dragon rushed towards the demons' left flank. The demons were thrown into chaos, and Liu Yu seized the opportunity to launch an even fiercer attack.
After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the monster and successfully escaped the maze.
They were exhausted, but their hearts were filled with joy.
"Finally out!" Bai Suzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Yu looked at her and smiled, saying, "Yes, but our adventure isn't over yet."
They embarked on their journey home, carrying the treasures and magical artifacts they had obtained from the castle. However, unbeknownst to them, an even greater crisis awaited them…
