Chapter 524: Exploring the Mo Family: The Barrier
Before Wen Nuan finished her words, the heavy stone door slammed shut, sealing everyone in this ancient secret room.
The echo reverberated between the stone walls, carrying a hint of ominous foreboding.
The air in the secret room seemed to be frozen, so oppressive that it made people breathless.
Mo Han's face darkened. He quickly walked to the stone door and pushed it hard a few times, but it didn't move at all.
"Damn it!" He cursed softly and slammed his fist heavily on the stone door, making a dull sound.
The solid stone door was not damaged at all, but instead made his arm numb from the shock.
Everyone gathered in front of the energy barrier, their expressions varying.
Several elders frowned, kept calculating and muttering something, but they still couldn't shake the barrier at all.
Some people tried to break through with brute force, but it was like hitting an invisible wall, bouncing back and falling to the ground.
All kinds of methods, including spells and formations, have been tried, but the barrier remains unmoved, emitting a dazzling light.
"Are we all going to be trapped here to death?" a young tribesman whispered, his tone full of fear.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
A light green gas slowly rose from the corner of the secret room, carrying a disgusting fishy-sweet smell and quickly spreading.
"Be careful! This is poison gas!" an elder exclaimed, holding his breath.
Everyone covered their mouths and noses and their faces turned pale.
The poisonous gas spread extremely quickly and soon filled the entire secret room.
Some of the tribesmen with weaker constitutions have begun to feel dizzy, have difficulty breathing, and their bodies are gradually becoming weak.
"Cough cough..." A young member of the tribe fell to the ground, coughing in pain, his face turning blue.
Mo Han held him and shouted anxiously, "Someone! Take him to the ventilation vent!"
However, the secret room is closed, so where is the ventilation hole?
A feeling of despair began to spread among the crowd.
Just when everyone was about to suffocate, Wen Nuan suddenly felt a strange feeling.
This poison gas didn't seem to have much effect on her, instead it made her feel a little...
familiar?
She subconsciously looked at her fingers, and a bold idea emerged in her mind.
Wen Nuan gritted her teeth, slowly stretched out her hand, and gently scratched her fingertips with her nails...
A drop of bright red blood fell to the ground, emitting a faint golden light...
Warm blood dripped onto the ground, emitting a faint golden light, like a bright lamp in the darkness, illuminating everyone's hope.
A shocking scene occurred. Wherever the golden light reached, the light green poisonous gas began to slowly dissipate, like ice and snow melting in the sun.
The air around me gradually became fresher and breathing became much easier.
"This...what's going on?" An elder widened his eyes in surprise, unable to believe what he saw.
Wen Nuan was also a little surprised. She didn't expect her blood to have such an effect.
"Maybe... my blood can detoxify." She said softly, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.
Mo Han reacted immediately, grabbed Wen Nuan's hand, and looked at the wound on her fingertips with heartache.
"Wen Nuan, what are you doing? This is too dangerous!"
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury." Wen Nuan smiled and comforted her, "The most important thing now is to deal with this poison gas first."
As she spoke, she cut another finger, dripping blood onto more of the ground.
The golden light spread, and the poisonous gas dissipated faster and faster.
People gathered around, greedily breathing in the fresh air, their eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
However, not everyone was happy about the heartwarming gesture.
In the crowd, a young woman in gorgeous clothes looked at Wen Nuan with eyes full of jealousy and resentment.
She is from the side branch of the Mo family and has always had a crush on Mo Han. Now that she sees Wen Nuan being so valued, she feels even more unbalanced.
"Hmph, just pretending!" she muttered softly, "Who knows if she deliberately poisoned the body and then pretended to detoxify it to gain everyone's sympathy?"
Although she spoke quietly, she was heard by several people around her.
These people were also dissatisfied with Wen Nuan's special abilities and felt that she stole their limelight.
"That's right, maybe she brought the poison!" another echoed.
"I think she's just a witch, what kind of witchcraft can she use!"
These rumors reached Mo Han's ears, and his face instantly darkened...
He turned around abruptly, his eyes as sharp as torches, scanning the crowd around him coldly...
Mo Han exuded a cold aura, like a Shura from hell.
"If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude!" His voice was low and intimidating, which instantly silenced those gossipers, who dared not make another sound.
He held her tightly in his arms, using his body temperature to warm her slightly cold body.
Feeling the warmth and weakness, he frowned distressedly, his eyes full of self-blame and pity.
"Fool, why are you doing this?" He murmured in a low voice, with a hint of trembling in his tone.
Wen Nuan shook her head gently and smiled weakly. "I'm fine, I just want to help everyone..."
Mo Han gently stroked her long hair, his heart filled with emotion and love.
He knew Wen Nuan's kindness and strength, and was even more determined to protect her.
"Don't do this again. Your safety is more important than anything else."
At this moment, Mo Han suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up.
"Wait, I remember there's a magical artifact among the family treasures that can absorb energy. Maybe it can be used to deal with this energy barrier!"
His words rekindled everyone's hope, and they urged him to go and get it quickly.
Mo Han didn't dare to delay and immediately ordered someone to help Wen Nuan to the side to rest, then hurried away with a few confidants.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the secret room became more and more tense.
Wen Nuan leaned against the wall, her face pale and her lips chapped, but she still forced herself to stay awake and comfort the tribesmen around her.
Finally, Mo Han came back with a jade ruyi emitting a faint glow in his hand.
"That's it!" he said excitedly. "This is our Mo family's ancestral Soul-Absorbing Ruyi. It's said to be able to absorb any form of energy!"
Everyone held their breath, nervously watching as Mo Han slowly brought the Soul Absorbing Ruyi closer to the energy barrier...
The moment the Soul Absorbing Ruyi touched the barrier, it suddenly flickered violently, emitting a sharp buzzing sound...
A powerful suction force came from the barrier...
"Be careful!" Wen Nuan exclaimed...
The moment the Soul-Absorbing Ruyi touched the barrier, the barrier burst into dazzling light, and a powerful suction force was like a giant beast awakening, trying to devour Ruyi.
Mo Han had anticipated this. He held the Ruyi tightly with both hands, planted his feet firmly in a horse stance, and let his true energy surge throughout his body to resist the terrifying suction force.
"Hurry! Help!" Mo Han shouted sternly, veins bulging on his forehead.
Several elders immediately stepped forward, worked together to grab Ruyi, and together they fought against the suction of the barrier.
Everyone's faces were solemn. The suction force of the barrier was far beyond their imagination, as if it was going to suck them into an endless abyss.
"The power of the barrier is weakening!" an elder shouted in surprise.
Everyone was cheered up and worked harder to output their true energy.
The light of the Soul-Absorbing Ruyi became brighter and brighter, greedily absorbing the energy of the barrier. The light of the barrier gradually dimmed, and the suction force gradually weakened.
After a long stalemate, the barrier finally let out a wail, and the light was completely extinguished, dissipating into pieces like broken glass.
"Success!" Everyone cheered, and the joy of surviving the disaster was on everyone's face.
Mo Han breathed a sigh of relief, took back the Soul-Absorbing Ruyi, and was about to speak when suddenly, the secret room shook violently, the rocks above his head fell down, and the ground began to crack.
"What's going on?!" Everyone was panicked. Before they could react, an even more powerful force surged out from the depths of the secret room, bringing with it a suffocating feeling of oppression.
Wen Nuan's expression suddenly changed. She felt a familiar breath that made her feel scared, but also a little inexplicably excited.
"Oh no! It's..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a deafening noise.
"boom--"
The walls of the secret room collapsed, and a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the dust...
"Welcome... the Demon Lord..." A sinister voice came from the shadows, making people shudder.
Wen Nuan looked at the huge black shadow and murmured to herself, "It's him..."
