Chapter 219: Cave, Water Monster
Xiao Yichen picked up the gem and felt a warm power coming from it. He raised the gem above his head and chanted an ancient spell.
The gemstone shone brightly, forming a huge shield of light that enveloped them. The river water crashed against the shield, splashing huge waves, but the shield remained motionless.
Protected by the power of the gem, they were temporarily safe.
They breathed a sigh of relief when the river water gradually receded.
Xiao Yichen looked at the gem in his hand and said, "This gem looks extraordinary. Perhaps it can help us cope with the next challenge."
Everyone else nodded.
They carefully left the cave with the gem and continued their journey out of the swamp.
After leaving the cave, the environment of the swamp seemed to have changed due to the changes inside the cave.
The originally gloomy sky gradually cleared up, and the sun shone on the swamp, bringing a glimmer of life to this devastated land.
They quickened their pace, heading for the edge of the swamp. As they receded, the swamp regained its mysterious and silent atmosphere, as if everything that had just happened was just a brief dream.
A hint of curiosity flashed in Lan Yunyan's eyes.
Xiao Yichen thought for a moment and nodded, "Let's go in and take a look, but be careful."
Upon entering the cave, a damp, moldy smell hit me. The cave walls were inlaid with crystals that emitted a faint glow, barely illuminating the path ahead.
There are also some ancient murals on the walls, depicting scenes of magicians fighting against dark forces, which are somewhat similar to the battle they just experienced.
Yun Mengyao observed the murals carefully and said, "These murals seem to be telling a story, perhaps related to the dark power of this swamp."
As they continued to go deeper into the cave, they heard the sound of gurgling water. In front of them appeared an underground river, the water was a strange deep blue, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
By the river, there is a stone platform, on which lies a box emitting a soft glow.
Xiao Yichen walked forward and carefully opened the box. Inside was a crystal clear gem. There was light flowing inside the gem, as if it contained endless power.
Just as they were delighted to find the gems, the cave suddenly shook violently and the river began to overflow, rushing towards them.
"Oh no! We've triggered the cave's mechanism!" Xiao Yichen shouted. They hurriedly cast magic to try to stop the onslaught of the river.
Lan Yunyan used ice magic to build an ice wall, but the impact of the river water was too great and cracks soon appeared in the ice wall.
Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao worked together to cast earth magic to reinforce the walls of the cave and prevent it from collapsing.
Just as the ice wall was about to break and the cave wall was about to collapse.
Lan Yunyan's eyes flashed, and she shouted, "Get out of the way!"
She swung her hands violently, and the ice wall, which was already full of cracks, instantly turned into countless sharp ice spikes, shooting towards the surging river water.
Those ice spikes were like arrows shot from a bow, each containing powerful magic power, stirring up a field of ice flowers in the river.
The river was slightly blocked by this sudden attack, causing a violent ripple. But soon, the mysterious force drove the river to rush forward even more frantically, threatening to submerge everything.
Lan Yunyan's face was solemn. She planted her feet firmly on the ground, quickly forming seals with her hands and chanting a complex and high-pitched incantation. As the incantation rang out, the temperature around her plummeted, and the river water near her began to freeze.
A huge water monster emerged from the river. It was as big as a mountain and emitted a cold blue light all over its body. Every time it swam, it created huge splashes of water.
The water monster stared at everyone with its lantern-like eyes, filled with ferocity and disdain. It opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar, the sound waves echoing throughout the cave, causing pain in everyone's eardrums.
"Hmph, you beast, stop being so arrogant!" Lan Yunyan was not afraid at all. She pushed her hands forward, and a huge barrier made of ice formed in front of her.
The water monster slammed into the ice barrier, and cracks appeared on the ice barrier, but Lan Yunyan remained calm. She injected more magic power into it, and the cracks healed quickly.
"Let's attack it together!" Xiao Yichen shouted.
He held the sword in his hand and injected the power of the gem into it, and the sword suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
He rushed towards the water monster and swung out several sharp sword energies in the air. The sword energy was like a rainbow piercing the sun, slashing towards the water monster.
Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao exchanged a glance and simultaneously cast earth magic. Several massive stone pillars quickly rose from the ground and smashed down towards the water monster.
The moment the stone pillar came into contact with the water monster, a large amount of water splashed, but the water monster only shook its body slightly and did not suffer much damage.
The water monster was enraged by the attacks, and with a fierce sweep of its massive tail, it shattered all the stone pillars. Then, it charged towards Lan Yunyan again, clearly targeting her as its primary target.
Lan Yunyan sneered, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and then suddenly separated them. A huge ice blade shot out from the ice barrier and slashed towards the head of the water monster.
The ice blade collided with the water monster's head, making a sharp friction sound. A shallow wound appeared on the water monster's head, and green blood oozed out and mixed with the river water.
The water monster became even more furious. It opened its mouth and spit out a high-speed spinning water tornado. The water tornado swept towards the blue cloud, sucking everything in its path.
Lan Yunyan took her time. With a light leap, she soared into the air. She waved her arms, creating layer upon layer of ice shields beneath her.
The waterspout hit the ice shield, causing it to shatter, but it also successfully weakened the waterspout's power. When the waterspout's power was exhausted, Lan Yunyan had already landed on a huge rock in the distance.
"It's my turn!" Lan Yunyan's eyes flashed with determination. She raised her hands above her head, and the air around her seemed to freeze.
