From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 381 Bravely Fighting Monsters to Seize Treasure

"Wen Chen, Zi Ling, Elder Qing Feng, get ready!" I lowered my voice, my heart pounding like a drum, as if a small beast was about to burst out of my chest.

The monster was trapped inside the energy shield, like a beast locked in a cage, frantically ramming against the pale golden light barrier and letting out deafening roars.

The roar seemed to explode directly in my brain, buzzing and making me dizzy.

I gritted my teeth and forced myself to stay awake.

The light from the energy shield grew weaker and weaker, flickering like a candle flame swaying in the wind, as if it might go out at any moment.

Time is life!

"Ziling, you're in charge of holding it back! Use your illusion magic to confuse it and buy it as much time as possible!" I quickly gave the order, my voice slightly hoarse from tension.

Zi Ling's face turned pale, but she still nodded firmly. The staff in her hand shimmered with starlight, like stars twinkling in the night sky, beautiful yet dangerous.

"Elder Qingfeng, you are in charge of defense! Protect everyone, especially Ziling!" Although Elder Qingfeng was seriously injured, his eyes were still sharp, like a drawn sword, flashing with cold light.

He sat cross-legged, his hands forming a mudra, and a blue light enveloped us, like a thin cicada wing, seemingly fragile yet incredibly resilient.

"Wen Chen, let's attack together!" I turned to look at Wen Chen. His face was frighteningly pale, and there was still blood at the corner of his mouth, but he gave me a firm look, as if to say: Don't worry, I can still fight!

My heart inexplicably calmed down.

We stood back to back, relying on each other, like two sturdy pine trees standing tall in the storm, supporting each other and unafraid of wind and rain.

I took a deep breath, channeling the last of my spiritual energy. The longsword in my hand hummed, its blade gleaming with dazzling light, like a dragon poised to pounce, ready to take flight at any moment.

"Attack!" I commanded. Zi Ling was the first to act. Her slender fingers danced in the air, and phantoms appeared out of thin air, flying around the monster to confuse its vision and disrupt its judgment.

The monster roared angrily, its huge claws flailing wildly, but it could never touch us.

I seized the opportunity and attacked at the same time as Wen Chen. The two sword lights intertwined, like two silver dragons, heading straight for the monster.

With a deafening boom, the sword light struck the monster, emitting a dazzling brilliance, and the powerful impact forced us back several steps.

The monster let out a painful roar, its massive body trembled violently, and hideous wounds appeared all over its body, from which black blood gushed out, emitting a nauseating stench.

"I succeeded!" I was overjoyed and was about to press my advantage when suddenly, a powerful force struck from the side, sending me flying.

"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood gushed out, and I felt as if all the bones in my body had fallen apart. The intense pain made it almost impossible for me to breathe.

"Xiao Yao!" Wen Chen exclaimed, trying to rush over to help me, but a dark figure blocked his way.

"Mo Yuan!" I spat out those two words through gritted teeth, my heart filled with anger and hatred.

This treacherous fellow actually launched a sneak attack while we were fighting the monster!

"Hehehe... Xiao Yao, your death is near!" Blood Fiend's chilling laughter rang out again. He held a dagger that gleamed with a cold light in his hand and approached me step by step.

"Want to kill me? Not so easy!" I endured the excruciating pain, struggled to my feet, and pointed my longsword at Blood Fiend. Even if I die, I'll drag you all down with me!

Just then, the energy shield finally gave way and shattered completely.

The monster let out a deafening roar, and its massive body burst out of the energy shield, lunging towards us.

"It's over!" My heart sank, and a feeling of despair spread through me.

Are we really going to die here today?

With a deafening roar, the ground shook violently, the entire chamber began to collapse, and huge stones fell from above with a deafening sound.

We were trapped in the center of a confined room, surrounded by danger on all sides, as if we were in hell.

"What should we do..." Zi Ling's voice trembled, filled with fear and helplessness.

At this critical moment... a voice descended from the sky...

"Stop!" The ethereal immortal's voice, like a morning bell and evening drum, echoed in the crumbling secret chamber.

In that instant, I felt as if I saw a glimmer of hope, like a drowning person grasping at a straw.

A golden light descended from the sky, enveloping the energy shield that was about to shatter. The previously flickering light instantly became stable and dazzling, like a golden sun, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Before I could even react, I felt a powerful force surge into my body. My previously depleted spiritual energy instantly became abundant, like fresh spring water flowing into a dried-up riverbed, full of vitality.

"This is..." I looked up in surprise and saw the ethereal immortal floating in mid-air, his hands forming a mudra, chanting incantations, and streams of golden energy emanating from his body and flowing into the energy shield.

"Now's the time!" the ethereal immortal shouted, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.

My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately understood what he meant.

This is our last chance!

I took a deep breath and poured all the spiritual energy in my body into the longsword. The sword emitted a dazzling light and hummed, as if it couldn't wait to drink blood.

"Kill!" I roared and charged forward, my longsword transforming into a silver lightning bolt as I hurtled towards the monster.

Wen Chen, Zi Ling, and Elder Qing Feng followed closely behind, each using all their skills to launch a final attack on the monster.

The monster let out a shrill roar, its massive body trembled violently, and deep, bone-revealing wounds appeared on its body, from which black blood gushed out, emitting a nauseating stench.

The monster finally collapsed, its massive body crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

I staggered back a few steps, grabbed Wen Chen's shoulder, and gasped for breath.

“We…won…” I said weakly, my voice trembling slightly.

Wen Chen held my hand tightly. "Yes, we won," he said softly, a hint of relief in his voice.

We smiled at each other, our hearts filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

"Quickly, collect the treasure!" Elder Qingfeng reminded him, his voice tinged with excitement.

We quickly went to the monster's corpse and began collecting the treasures scattered on the ground.

These treasures are priceless, gleaming with a captivating light that dazzles the eye.

I picked up a gemstone that shone with seven colors, and my heart was filled with excitement.

"This...this could be the legendary seven-colored glass stone?" I exclaimed in surprise, my voice filled with disbelief.

"That's right, this is the Seven-Colored Glazed Stone!" Elder Qingfeng said excitedly. "With this gemstone, my injuries will heal quickly!"

We excitedly put away the treasures one by one, our hearts filled with joy and anticipation.

However, at this moment...

"Rumble..."

The ground suddenly shook violently, cracks appeared in the walls, and stones kept falling down with a deafening sound.

"What happened?" Zi Ling exclaimed, her voice filled with fear.

"Oh no! The secret chamber is about to collapse!" Elder Qingfeng's expression changed drastically as he exclaimed in alarm.

My heart sank suddenly and an ominous premonition came over me.

"Let's go!" I shouted, grabbing Wen Chen's hand and running outside.

However, before we could even run a few steps...

"Crack!"

With a loud crash, a huge rock fell from above and landed right in front of us...

"Wen Chen!" I exclaimed, shoving him away...

"Xiao Yao!"
