Chapter 279: Darkness Spreads: Xiao Bei's Way Out of Dilemma
The gate to the Demon Abyss is about to open...
Xiao Bei suddenly clenched the letter in his hand, and his knuckles turned white.
This short sentence contains a huge crisis.
The Demon Abyss, according to legend, is the lair of dark creatures. Once the door to the Demon Abyss is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable.
He must find the source of the dark aura as soon as possible and prevent the gate to the abyss from opening!
Just as Xiao Bei was planning further resistance strategies and pondering how to find the mastermind behind the incident, Xiao Guang rushed in, reporting breathlessly: "Boss, this is bad! All the spirit stones and elixirs we stockpiled... are destroyed!"
Xiao Bei stood up suddenly, his brows furrowed: "What?! What happened?" The people around him were also in an uproar, and worry spread.
Xiao Bei keenly realized that this was no accident, and someone must be behind the scenes!
A rage burned in his chest. It seemed that the enemy behind this was more cunning than he had imagined!
After some investigation, Xiao Bei discovered that it was the subordinates of Questioner A who destroyed the supplies.
He immediately found Questioner A and angrily asked, "Did you do this?!"
However, Questioner A spread his hands with an innocent look on his face: "Brother Xiao Bei, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! I didn't do anything, you are slandering me!" His eyes flickered and his tone was hypocritical, which made Xiao Bei more convinced of his judgment.
"The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to deny it?!" A cold light flashed in Xiao Bei's eyes, and a powerful pressure was released instantly, and the air around him seemed to solidify.
"Evidence? What evidence? Show me the evidence!" Questioner A was still stubborn, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and even showed a sarcastic smile.
Xiao Bei suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and said coldly: "You'd better pray that this matter has nothing to do with you..."
Xiao Bei felt like his lungs were about to explode!
Does questioner A really think he is just a person who comes here to eat for nothing?
The people around him were whispering, and their eyes clearly showed the question of "Is it really Xiao Bei who wronged a good person?" This made him even more angry.
"Good fellow, I worked so hard to resist the dark aura, but you stabbed me in the back and pretended to be innocent? It's really like a knife cutting my butt - you've opened your eyes!" Xiao Bei roared in his heart, but he suppressed his anger on the surface. After all, now that they are facing a powerful enemy, internal strife will only make the situation worse.
This suffocating feeling is as disgusting as eating a fly!
At this moment, a man walked out from the crowd. It was Justice A.
He held a fragment with a special mark in his hand and shouted, "Everyone, I have evidence here! This fragment comes from a weapon commonly used by Suspect A's men. A large number of similar fragments were found at the site of the destroyed supplies. The evidence is irrefutable!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone looked at Questioner A, whose face turned pale in an instant, as ugly as if he had eaten a dead rat. He never thought that someone would come up with such conclusive evidence!
He was speechless and couldn't say anything for a long time. His original arrogance disappeared without a trace in an instant, like an eggplant hit by frost - wilted.
Xiao Bei looked at Questioner A, a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Oh, what else do you have to say now?"
Questioner A's face turned pale, his eyes flickered, and he glared at Righteous Man A fiercely.
He gritted his teeth and was about to open his mouth to quibble, but he didn't know what to say.
"What? Are you mute?" Xiao Bei pressed on step by step, and his powerful aura made Questioner A breathless.
Questioner A's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He looked around and found that everyone was looking at him with contempt.
"You..." Questioner A pointed at Xiao Bei and said tremblingly, "Just wait for me!"
Xiao Bei sneered, "I'll wait. But before that..." His eyes were stern, and his tone was icy, "We have to settle some accounts first!" He waved his hand violently...
Xiao Bei waved his hand suddenly, and a sharp sword energy broke through the air and went straight to Questioner A!
"Want to run? Too late!" Questioner A was frightened out of his wits and dodged in a hurry, but his arm was still scratched by the sword energy, and blood instantly dyed his sleeves red.
"Ah!" He screamed, covering his wound and stepping back repeatedly.
"Take them away!" Xiao Bei gave an order, and his confidants immediately took down all the men of Questioner A without any delay.
"This is just a warning. If you dare to do anything tricky again, you will bear the consequences!" Xiao Bei's cold eyes swept across Questioner A, making him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar, trembling like a quail.
After dealing with the traitor, Xiao Bei immediately organized everyone to discuss countermeasures.
At this moment, a loud earth-shaking noise suddenly came from the distance, and the earth began to tremble.
"Oh no! The dark forces have launched an attack!" Xiao Bei's face changed, and he immediately led everyone to the scene.
I saw rolling black fog coming like a tide, mixed with all kinds of hideous and terrifying dark creatures, making creepy roars.
These dark creatures have different shapes, some look like giant spiders, some look like lizards with wings, and some look like humanoid monsters, waving sharp bone blades in their hands, it is simply a "dance of demons"!
"Brothers, fight hard!" Xiao Bei gave an order, and everyone immediately took out their magic weapons and started a fierce battle with the dark creatures.
Xiao Bei held a long sword and led the charge. The sword flashed like lightning, killing the dark creatures one by one.
Beili followed closely behind. Although she had no level, she was agile and the dagger in her hand was like a poisonous snake. She could always find the enemy's weakness and kill it with one blow.
"Brother Xiao Bei, let me help you!" Bei Li did not forget to interact with Xiao Bei while fighting, like a mobile announcer at the scene of a large-scale group battle.
The battle was extremely brutal, and the number of dark creatures seemed endless, coming in wave after wave.
Xiao Bei constantly adjusted his tactics and directed everyone to fight in coordination.
He discovered that although these dark creatures were powerful, their attack methods were relatively simple, so he immediately changed his strategy and concentrated his strength on attacking their weaknesses.
"Focus fire on their heads!" Xiao Bei shouted loudly.
Everyone immediately understood his intention and focused their attacks on the dark creature's head.
Sure enough, this move was very effective. The dark creatures' defenses dropped instantly and they were quickly eliminated.
Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the leader of the dark forces suddenly appeared. He exuded a terrifying dark aura, like a demon from hell.
"Ants, your struggle is in vain!" He let out a sinister laugh, then waved his hand violently...
The dark aura swept in like a tsunami, more violent and terrifying than the previous attack!
Xiao Bei's heart sank. He felt that there seemed to be some kind of pattern hidden in this dark aura...
He narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the flow of the dark aura...
"Wait..." he said suddenly.
Xiao Bei's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring intently at the surging dark aura.
"Wait! This dark aura's flow... has a pattern!" He slapped his thigh suddenly, suddenly realizing, "So that's it! This aura surges like the tide, rising and falling, sometimes strong and sometimes weak!"
Xiao Bei immediately shared his discovery with everyone: "Everyone, pay attention! This dark energy's attacks are regular. Every ten breaths, its intensity will weaken! We must seize this opportunity to counterattack!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately followed Xiao Bei's instructions.
Sure enough, after ten breaths, the intensity of the dark aura weakened significantly.
Everyone seized the opportunity and gave their all, completely wiping out a large wave of dark creatures.
"Awesome, boss! You can even see that!" Xiaoguang shouted excitedly, his eyes full of admiration.
"Basic operation, don't be stupid." Xiao Bei smiled slightly, but he became more alert in his heart.
The leader of the dark forces was furious when he saw that his attack was broken, and he increased the intensity of the dark aura again.
"A mere trifle!" He roared, and the dark aura surged in again, even more violent than before.
However, Xiao Bei has found a way to crack it.
He commanded everyone to dodge and counterattack according to the patterns of the dark aura, just like playing a game of "hide and seek", toying with the powerful dark forces.
"Come on, let's hurt each other!" Xiao Bei dodged the attacks while provoking the leader of the dark forces, making him so angry that he was fuming.
After a fierce battle, the leader of the dark forces, seeing that he could not take the city down for a long time, had to retreat in disappointment.
"You're lucky, kid!" He said harshly and disappeared into the black fog.
"The boss is mighty! The boss is domineering!" Everyone cheered and their admiration for Xiao Bei was like a surging river, endless.
Xiao Bei's prestige reached a new height at this moment.
Xiao Bei watched the black fog gradually dissipate, but he did not let down his guard.
Based on the flow pattern of the dark aura, he has deduced the approximate direction of the source of the dark aura.
"It seems that our target is over there..." He pointed to the distance.
Beili walked to Xiao Bei and gently pulled his sleeve.
"Brother Xiao Bei, what should we do next?" she asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.
Xiao Bei turned to look at Bei Li, "Next..." He paused and looked into the distance, "We have to find the source of the dark aura and completely resolve this crisis!" His tone was firm and unquestionable.
"But..." Righteous Man A looked worried. "We know nothing about the source of the dark aura. Wouldn't it be too dangerous to rush there?"
Xiao Bei took a deep breath, "I know the road ahead is full of unknowns, but we must go! For the safety of the immortal world, we have no choice!" His eyes were firm and his tone was full of determination.
He looked up into the distance, his eyes deep, as if he could penetrate the layers of fog and see the truth hidden in the darkness.
"Get ready..." Xiao Bei said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
A cold wind blew, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground and making a rustling sound.
Xiao Bei and his group were ready to go, their gazes fixed on the distance. There lay the unknown darkness, and also the challenges they had to face...
"Wait." Xiao Bei suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a stone not far away. "What is that?"
