Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 65 The Abyss Beast

Just then, the others rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Mo Bai, who was nearby, saw the situation and immediately blew his jade flute. The flute's sound seemed to possess a tangible force as it rushed towards the little girl.

However, the girl let out a sharp laugh, and thick fog rose up around them again.

A huge figure gradually emerged from the fog, and it roared so loudly that it made everyone's eardrums ache.

Huan Yuechu gripped her blade tightly and shouted, "Everyone be careful, the real trouble has only just begun."

The enormous figure swung its thick arm and smashed it down on the crowd. Huan Yuechu was the first to rush forward, her sharp blade flashing coldly as she forcefully slashed at the arm.

But it only left a shallow mark on it; the monster's hide was thicker than anyone had imagined.

Su Yao formed hand seals and chanted incantations, sending beams of light towards the monster, temporarily slowing its movements.

Wen Xingyu calmed down and picked up a few stones from the ground, throwing them at the monster to attract its attention and give everyone a chance to attack.

Seeing the monster drawn to Wen Xingyu and approaching her, Mo Bai immediately stopped playing the flute, flashed behind the monster, and transformed the jade flute into a long sword, stabbing it fiercely into the monster's back.

The monster, in pain, turned and retaliated against Mo Bai, who nimbly dodged it.

Just when everyone thought they had found a way to deal with it, the monster's body suddenly split into many small ghostly creatures, which swarmed forward.

The group was caught off guard as they were surrounded by ghostly creatures.

At the critical moment, Su Yao remembered an ancient book she had read about a formation that could dispel a large number of ghostly creatures.

She hurriedly directed everyone to stand in their positions, and although Wen Xingyu and the others were puzzled, they still did as she said.

As Su Yao activated the formation, a bright light flashed, and the surrounding ghostly creatures instantly vanished. The giant monster also screamed and disappeared.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this.

Mo Bai looked at Huan Yuechu and said, "This place is fraught with danger. Let's leave here first."

The group walked briskly along the path, the atmosphere heavy and somber.

Suddenly, Su Yao's legs gave way and she almost fell. Huan Yuechu quickly caught her.

It turned out that activating the formation had consumed too much of her energy.

As we walked, an ancient and dilapidated temple came into view.

Mo Bai became alert, but the fog around him was getting thicker and his retreat was blocked. He could only take refuge in the temple.

The temple was filled with a putrid stench, and the walls were covered with strange runes.

As the group approached the main hall, they heard a low murmur.

Before they could react, the door suddenly slammed shut, and a group of dark figures poured out from all directions.

These shadowy figures are different from the ghostly creatures of the past; they are both tangible and intangible.

Mo Bai tried to attack the opponent, but the attack passed right through the shadow without causing any damage; he couldn't even touch it.

After careful observation, Wen Xingyu discovered that these shadowy figures seemed to be controlled by the runes on the wall.

After hearing the guess, Mo Bai decided to risk destroying the runes. He leaped up and used the Jade Flute Sword to cut off part of the runes.

In an instant, the shadowy figure became agitated and restless.

At that critical moment, Huan Yuechu's eyes were like torches, staring intently at the monster in front of her, not letting go of any fleeting opportunity.

At the same time, Su Yao, who was standing next to her, also exchanged a glance with her as if they were telepathically connected, as if they were conveying endless tacit understanding and strength to each other.

In an instant, Huan Yuechu's entire body emitted a dazzling light, as brilliant as a falling star.

She gripped her weapon tightly with both hands, gathered all the spiritual power within her body, and unleashed her most powerful ultimate technique.

On the other side, Su Yao was not to be outdone. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and colorful light emanated from her, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.

As she chanted incantations, an incomparably sharp spiritual energy surged forth from her hand.

In the blink of an eye, the two incredibly powerful attacks, like lightning slicing through the sky, hurtled towards the monster with overwhelming force.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, and the heavens and earth trembled!

Under the combined and all-out fierce attack of everyone, the once invincible monster gradually became unable to withstand the onslaught.

The shadow on its body began to tremble violently and gradually became thin and dim.

Finally, with a deafening roar, the dark figure vanished completely, leaving only debris and dust drifting slowly down from the sky.

Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, an even more terrifying roar came from the main hall. A giant beast exuding a dark aura slowly appeared, and an even more difficult battle was about to begin.

The behemoth was enormous, and the ground trembled slightly with every step it took.

Its blood-red eyes stared intently at the crowd, and black flames spewed from its mouth.

Mo Bai rushed forward first, his jade flute sword glowing as he tried to block the flames and stab at the giant beast.

Huan Yuechu formed hand seals, and beams of spiritual light flew toward the giant beast, only causing it to pause slightly.

Su Yao, struggling to maintain her weakened state, began chanting complex incantations, causing the surrounding air to gradually condense into ice shards that shot towards the giant beast.

Huan Yuechu then circled around to the side, trying to find the giant beast's weakness.

However, the giant beast was thick-skinned and tough, and the group's attacks did not cause any real damage.

At this moment, Wen Xingyu suddenly remembered the records in the ancient book that this giant beast was called the Abyss Beast, and its power source was a crystal core on its head.

Mo Bai received the prompt and flashed to the top of the giant beast's head.

The giant beast sensed the threat and shook its head frantically.

Mo Bai mustered all his strength to steady himself and thrust his sword into the top of the giant beast's head.

The behemoth let out a deafening roar, struggled for a moment, and then collapsed with a thud.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, the temple gates slowly opened, and the thick fog dissipated.

As the giant beast collapsed, the group, though exhausted, could not hide their joy of victory.

Mo Bai pulled out the jade flute sword stuck in the giant beast's head and wiped the blood off the blade.

"It's finally over," Wen Xingyu said with a sigh of relief.

Huan Yuechu nodded, her gaze sweeping over everyone. "This time, it's all thanks to everyone's concerted efforts."

Su Yao smiled slightly, but her face was still pale. "I need to rest for a while now. We'll meet again sometime." With that, she turned and left.

Everyone was taken aback, then realized that they came from different places and had different purposes, but this accident brought them together.

Mo Bai glanced at the sword in his hand, then turned and walked towards the temple gate, his back exuding a sense of freedom.

Huan Yuechu then took Wen Xingyu back to the inn.

Wen Xingyu took one last look at the temple, the place that had witnessed their brief cooperation and thrilling battle.

She took a deep breath and slowly walked out of the temple, still feeling weak. Sunlight shone on her, and she knew that a new journey was about to begin, and this experience would become an unforgettable memory.

Wen Xingyu and I walked slowly along the path, and soon we saw the inn.

As soon as they entered the inn, Chongyang asked worriedly, "Sister Yuechu, you're finally back! I just heard a loud commotion in the distance. Are you alright?"

Huan Yuechu waved her hand, "It's nothing, I'll go upstairs and rest for a bit." Then she went upstairs.

Wen Xingyu entered the room and collapsed onto the bed.

Recalling the thrilling battle just now, I felt a mix of emotions.

The next morning, the sky was overcast, and a light drizzle fell sparsely from the dark clouds.

Raindrops gently tapped on the ground, making a crisp and soft sound, like a soothing melody played by nature.

Just as this tranquil atmosphere was broken, suddenly, there was a rapid and loud knocking at the entrance of the inn.
