Rocky and the women accompanying him walked along the gloomy passage. At first, their surroundings were quite peaceful, but after about thirty minutes of walking, they immediately felt that the temperature suddenly dropped as if they were in a deep cellar underground. Even though they were protected by the spiritual energy, the chilling air still permeated in their skin.
"What is with this place? It feels so horrifying," Lena said with a frown as her body started shivering.
Then, suddenly, a burst of ghostly cries came from the depths of the passage.
Rocky and the women couldn't help but look at each other, surprised at what they just heard. However, they just kept walking until they arrived at the end of the passage. They stopped in their tracks and were shocked as they looked around.
What welcomed them was a spacious and strange room without a definite purpose. On the other end of the room, they saw that there was a road leading towards the depths of the forbidden area. However, they soon noticed that more than ten misty white souls, like shadowy fogs, wandered around and occupied the room. They perceived that these souls emitted strong auras that were at least equivalent to the masters at the Supernal Stage. Furthermore, they also possessed a vicious aura of hostility, making them unable to move freely. Then, they realized that these souls must the ghosts of the Butterfly Divine Clan that Kayla had mentioned before.
As a result, they stopped at the entrance of the room and didn't dare to move forward.
"What should we do now?" All the women looked at Rocky and waited for his decision.
"It looks dangerous. You have to wait here first while I go and take a look. Once everything is clear, you can follow me," Rocky said after thinking for a while. He then pulled out the Frozen Wind Dagger and rushed inside the room.
However, the moment Rocky stepped into the room, the souls of the Butterfly Divine Clan seemed to be infuriated by the presence of a stranger. They immediately let out sharp cries and dashed towards him. Their faces were like demons that would haunt every living soul. They swarmed towards Rocky as if they were going to devour him whole.
As he saw the fast-approaching ghosts, Rocky immediately waved the Frozen Wind Dagger and slashed several Moon Blades to resist them. However, to his surprise, the Moon Blades just passed right through them and didn't seem to take any damage at all. He clearly saw that the souls were still rushing towards him at an incredible speed.
Rocky was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect that the Moon Blades would be rendered ineffective against them. With his quick-thinking, he
However, just as when they were about to approach the statues of the two beasts, the whole corridor began to tremble. The next moment, they noticed that the bodies and limbs of the beasts gradually moved as if they were coming to life.
Then, suddenly, the huge eyes of the beast statues opened and flashed a strong radiance. They opened their mouths and quickly spurted two beams of spiritual power with a diameter of dozens of centimeters, aimed directly at the group.
Immediately sensing the danger, they quickly dodged sideways, clinging onto the stone walls beside them. The two beams swept past where they previously stood, leaving two deep charred marks on the ground.
Right after hurling the beams of light, the beasts began to move. They dashed towards the group, like massive tanks that plowed the aisle. Since the beasts almost occupied the entire aisle, the beams of light that constantly darted from their mouths made the situation even more dangerous. They didn't have much space to get away from the beasts' attacks.
Fully aware of their situation, Sabina suddenly activated her ice shadow and rushed directly to the two beast statues. As soon as the icy light rose, she immediately shouted, "Freeze!" Instantly, two streams of icy spiritual power emerged from her arms and shot towards the beast statues at an incredible speed.
Upon contact with the beast statues, the icy spiritual power instantly covered and froze them, sealing their movements.
Rocky and the others were relieved to see that the two ferocious beasts finally stopped moving.
However, at that moment, they saw that the ice enveloping the beast statues was starting to break and collapse. Soon after, the beast statues broke through, and they suddenly launched their fierce attacks again.
