Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 223 Fatal Crisis and Turning Point in the Mysterious Space

As soon as Li Zhao and others stepped into the mysterious space, a disgusting stench hit them in the face and instantly filled their nostrils, as if they were in a thousand-year-old tomb sealed in the dust of time, with the smell of death and decay all around.

The thick, inky black fog surrounded them like an impenetrable barrier, and every inch of the air exuded dampness and weirdness.

Every breath they took felt like they were swallowing wads of wet cotton wool, their chests felt stuffy and breathing was difficult.

The surroundings were eerily silent, with only their somewhat hurried footsteps echoing in the empty and unknown space, further highlighting the eerie and terrifying nature of the environment.

Before they could adapt to this strange environment, a low and dull roar suddenly surged from all directions. The sound seemed to come from the depths of the earth, like the roar of an ancient giant beast awakening.

The roars resounded wantonly in the thick black fog, being infinitely amplified. Each roar hit everyone's heart like a sledgehammer, causing their hearts to beat violently involuntarily and fear to spread like a tide.

The roaring sound was getting closer and closer, and some huge black shadows were looming in the fog, gradually becoming clearer.

These black shadows were tall, more than two people tall, with sharp fangs and hooked claws. Each claw tip flashed with a cold light, as if filled with deadly venom.

Their eyes flashed with a dark green light, cold and greedy, like evil spirits from hell, staring at the prey in front of them, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

"Be careful, something is coming!"

Li Zhao's voice trembled slightly due to nervousness, but it was still firm and powerful.

He quickly gripped the long sword in his hand. The blade flashed with a cold light in the darkness, and seemed to be trembling with excitement for the upcoming battle.

His eyes were fixed on the dark shadows, revealing vigilance and determination, as if announcing to these unknown creatures that they would never surrender easily.

Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess also quickly entered combat mode. Although their bodies were exhausted from the previous battles and their legs seemed to be filled with lead, making every step extremely difficult, the firm belief revealed in their eyes never wavered.

They took a deep breath, mobilized the remaining spiritual power in their bodies, and prepared to face this life-and-death battle.

The monster flapped its huge wings and stood in front of everyone. Its wings were more than ten meters wide when spread out, like two huge black shields, emitting a terrifying deterrent force.

It let out a low roar, the sound rolling, trying to scare away these mysterious creatures with its momentum.

The mysterious creatures showed no fear at all, and rushed towards Li Zhao and others with their fangs and claws bared.

An exceptionally large creature took the lead in attacking. Its muscles tensed, and it leaped high, bringing up a pungent, fishy wind.

Its claws grabbed Li Zhao's throat like lightning, with a clear target and every move was deadly.

Li Zhao's pupils suddenly shrank and his heart tightened. At this critical moment, he dodged sideways like an agile cheetah.

He swung the sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy with a whistling sound, like a flash of lightning, pierced through the darkness and shot towards the creature.

The creature was extremely agile. It twisted its body and easily avoided the sword energy, then launched another attack.

Its movements were swift and smooth, clearly a seasoned killer with keen instincts and rich experience in combat.

Other mysterious creatures also joined the battle, their attacks were sharp and fierce, making it difficult to defend against them.

Some sprayed highly corrosive liquids, which drew an arc in the air. Wherever they went, the ground was instantly corroded into bottomless pits, and a pungent smell filled the air.

Some released powerful electric currents, which crackled and flickered in the air, forming blue electric grids that cut the surrounding space into pieces, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.

For a moment, the mysterious space was filled with flickering light, and various energies collided with each other, making a deafening roar, as if the end of the world was approaching.

Li Zhao and others struggled to resist the attacks of the mysterious creatures while looking for their weaknesses.

The defenses of these mysterious creatures are very strong. Their attacks on them are like hitting hard rocks, which can only produce a faint spark and are unlikely to cause any substantial damage.

Just when Li Zhao and others were in trouble and felt desperate, Li Zhao suddenly discovered that these mysterious creatures would have a strange reaction to the light of the gems when attacking.

Every time the gems flashed, their movements would pause briefly, as if restrained by some mysterious force.

Li Zhao's heart suddenly moved. Could it be that this mysterious gem could not only fight against the power of the mysterious organization, but also affect these mysterious creatures?

His heartbeat suddenly quickened, as if he saw a glimmer of hope in the darkness, and the desire to survive was rekindled in his heart.

Li Zhao immediately concentrated his mind and devoted himself to controlling the gem to emit light of different frequencies.

He closed his eyes tightly, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, concentrating on feeling the power of the gems, trying to find the subtle connection between him and these mysterious creatures.

Sure enough, as the gem's light flickered, the mysterious creatures' movements became slower and their attack rhythm was disrupted, no longer as coherent and fierce as before.

Li Zhao took the opportunity to command everyone to launch an attack. He shouted loudly: "Now, everyone, attack together!"

The voice was firm and powerful, full of inspiring power. Upon hearing it, Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess released their spiritual power without hesitation.

Their spiritual powers intertwined in the air, forming brilliant rays of light, like beams of brilliant meteors, shooting towards the mysterious creature.

The monster flapped its wings, creating a powerful airflow like a ferocious tornado, forcing the mysterious creatures back. Under the attack of the crowd, the mysterious creatures retreated one after another, roaring angrily, as if they were extremely unwilling to accept their defeat.

When the leader of the mysterious organization saw this scene, his expression became even more gloomy, like the sky before a storm, covered with dark clouds, so oppressive that it made people breathless.

His eyes narrowed into slits, and anger and unwillingness flashed in them, like burning flames.

He never expected that Li Zhao could find a way to deal with it in this mysterious space and break the trap he had carefully set.

He chanted the spell again. The sound of the spell was low and strange, like an evil call from the Nine Nether Hell, full of dark power.

As his spell sounded, a black crystal ball slowly appeared in his hand. The crystal ball emitted a strange light, which seemed to hide endless darkness and mystery.

Mysterious runes flickered on the surface of the crystal ball. Each rune was like an eye, coldly peeping at everyone in the darkness, as if seeing through their every move.

As the mysterious organization leader's spell continued to sound, an even more powerful monster appeared in the mysterious space.

This monster is several times larger than the previous mysterious creature. Its body is like a towering mountain, standing there, blocking out the sky and the sun.

Its body is covered with a layer of black scales, each of which is the size of a pot lid. The scales flash with cold light, as if they are a layer of indestructible armor, and no attack can cause damage to it.

Its eyes were like two huge lanterns, emitting red light. The light revealed endless cruelty and bloodthirstiness, which made people shudder.

Its mere presence makes the surrounding air heavy, as if shrouded by an invisible pressure.

This powerful monster rushed towards Li Zhao and others. Every step it took caused the ground to tremble violently, as if the earth was afraid of its arrival.

It waved its huge claws, creating a gust of wind that instantly blew away the surrounding black fog.

The howling wind was like a sharp blade, scraping on everyone's face, causing great pain.

Li Zhao and others felt unprecedented pressure, their hearts beating wildly in their chests, as if they were about to jump out of their throats.

Their bodies trembled slightly with fear, but their eyes revealed determination and unyielding spirit. They exchanged glances, their eyes conveying unwavering faith and trust, as if telling each other that no matter how great the difficulties, they would not back down.

Li Zhao once again manipulated the gem, trying to find the powerful monster's weakness. He gripped the gem tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if trying to unleash all the gem's power.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his eyes revealed concentration and persistence, as if he was engaged in a battle of wills with this monster.

The monster seemed immune to the gem's light, and its attacks were not affected at all.

The monster's claws grabbed towards Li Zhao and others at lightning speed, leaving people no time to react.

Li Zhao and others dodged in a hurry. Their movements were clumsy and panicked, but at this critical moment, some gravel still hit them. Wounds appeared on their bodies and their clothes were stained with blood.

The smell of blood filled the air, stimulating the monster's nerves, making it even crazier and its attacks more fierce.

When the leader of the mysterious organization saw Li Zhao and others in desperate situation, a smug smile appeared on his face.

His laughter echoed in the mysterious space, full of mockery and pride, as if announcing his victory.

He continued to chant the spell, controlling the monster's actions, making it launch a more deadly attack on Li Zhao and others.

The monster attacked again. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a black flame. The flame swept towards Li Zhao and others. Wherever it went, everything was burned and turned into ashes.

The black flames had a pungent smell that made people want to vomit, as if they were the fire from hell that was going to devour them completely.

Li Zhao and others were forced into a desperate situation. Behind them was a blazing black flame. The scorching temperature made their backs hurt, as if their skin was about to be burnt.

In front of them was a powerful monster, its figure like an insurmountable mountain, blocking their retreat.

Just when they thought they were about to die, the gem suddenly emitted a strong light, which seemed to contain a mysterious and ancient power.

This light not only illuminated the entire mysterious space and dispelled the thick black fog, but also caused the mysterious organization's leader and the monsters he controlled to pause briefly. Time seemed to stand still at this moment...
