"Yes, united we can do anything!" Robert nodded in agreement, and others also expressed their support.
"Okay, let's move on." The dragon turned and walked towards the crack. "The road ahead will be more difficult, but only after going through all this can you truly become a legendary warrior."
A dim light shone through the crack, as if something was quietly waiting for them in the depths. The few people looked at each other, and although they were a little nervous, they still mustered up the courage to follow the dragon into the crack. As they went deeper, the crack gradually became wider, and the surrounding fluorescence became softer, illuminating the way forward for them.
"This is truly an unexplored world." Robert exclaimed softly, with a hint of curiosity and vigilance in his eyes.
"Indeed," Leonard agreed, "but I always feel like there's something hidden here... It makes me feel uncomfortable."
At this moment, a strange sound of water attracted everyone's attention. Jack immediately signaled everyone to stop moving forward and observe the surrounding situation quietly. Suddenly, a huge black shadow rushed out from the darkness, and its huge body quickly approached everyone.
"What is that!" the little witch screamed, she grabbed Jack's arm tightly, her voice trembling.
"It's a deep-sea fish monster!" Robert nodded, with obvious nervousness in his tone. "I heard that they are extremely ferocious and like to prey on passing ships and creatures."
This monster had a huge body covered with scales, its eyes glowed red, and its mouth was full of sharp teeth. It was almost twice the size of Jack's boat, and every inch of its skin was emitting cold air underwater. The most terrifying thing was that this fish monster actually had several thick tentacles, each of which was waving in the air, ready to attack at any time.
"Everyone step back!" Jack shouted loudly, while holding the token tightly in his hand, ready to resist this terrible enemy.
The fish monster roared, and the whole cave shook. One of its tentacles suddenly attacked Jack and his group. Fortunately, they dodged in time and were not swept away by it. However, the tentacle hit the rock wall heavily, and the broken stones flew everywhere, making a dull sound.
"We must find a way to deal with it, otherwise none of us will be able to escape." Robert said anxiously.
"I have some magic you can try, but I can't guarantee it will work." The little witch gritted her teeth, her fingers trembling slightly, but she still concentrated and began to chant the spell.
The little demon girl put her hands together, and a light blue light gathered in her hands, gradually forming a small halo. Then, the halo flew towards the fish monster and surrounded it. The light flashed, and the fish monster let out a piercing roar, and its body seemed to be restrained, and its movements became noticeably slower.
"Now!" Jack shouted, he drew the dagger from his waist, jumped towards the fish monster, aimed at one of its eyes and stabbed it fiercely. Blood gushed out, and the fish monster struggled wildly in pain, turning the whole cave upside down.
While the fish monster was struggling in pain, the others were not idle either. Robert took out a pack of gunpowder, lit it and threw it at the fish monster. In an instant, the flames burned, and the fish monster screamed, and finally collapsed to the ground after twisting for a while, no longer moving.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew the danger was not over yet. This deep-sea fish monster might just be the first obstacle, and there were more unknowns waiting for them.
"Everyone be careful, there may be more than one of these monsters." Leonard said vigilantly.
Just as he finished speaking, a low sound of water was heard in the distance, as if other similar creatures were approaching quietly.
"Damn it, looks like our troubles are far from over." Jack frowned.
Everyone looked at each other, and a trace of worry rose in their hearts. The dragon seemed to have noticed the movement in the distance, and a trace of vigilance flashed in its gentle eyes.
"We must keep moving forward." The dragon said, "These deep sea monsters are only part of the test. You must face them and overcome your fear."
"Lord Dragon, do you know what is ahead?" Jack asked, his eyes firm and serious.
"There are unknowns and challenges ahead, but also opportunities and hope." The dragon said slowly, "Only the brave can find the real answers."
Leonard clenched his sword, his expression grim. "Whatever is waiting for us, we will face it. Right, brothers?"
Robert nodded and said, "Yes, we have experienced too many dangers along the way, and this time will be no exception."
The little demon girl gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with determination. "I will also do my best to support you all!"
After encouraging each other, the group decided to follow the dragon and continue forward. The crack became wider and wider, and the surrounding environment became unusually quiet, even the sound of water drops could be heard clearly. Just as everyone was carefully passing through the narrow area, suddenly a voice came from deep in the cave:
"Wow, these guys actually dare to come here! This is one of the most dangerous places in the Sea of Death!" A young voice sounded, with deep surprise and admiration.
When they looked back, they saw a young man in strange clothes and carrying a huge bag standing not far away. He stared at them with wide eyes as if he had seen a ghost.
"You... who are you? Why are you here?" Jack asked first.
"Oh, don't be nervous," the man smiled, "I'm just an ordinary explorer. My name is Toby. I heard about this place before, but I didn't expect that there would be someone brave enough to come here to explore!"
Robert nodded. "Then you should know the situation around here, right? Can you give us some information?"
Toby scratched his head. "Oh, actually I don't know much. I just know that this place is called 'Ghost Abyss' and strange things often happen here. But I heard that there is a treasure here, and many warriors come here to find it."
Leonard frowned. "Since you know such a powerful treasure exists, why don't you go find it yourself?"
"Ha, I did think so," Toby shrugged, "but one person is not enough. Seeing your strong lineup, I think I might have a chance of winning by following you. If my knowledge can be put to good use, maybe we can share information about the treasure?"
Jack looked at his friends, who all nodded slightly in agreement. "Okay, you can come with us, but remember not to hold us back," Jack said.
"Great! I promise I won't cause you any trouble!" Toby jumped up happily.
At this moment, another cold breath came from the darkness, accompanied by heavy footsteps. Everyone knew that some terrible enemy had come again, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more solemn.
Toby's face turned pale. "Oh no... that's the legendary sea ghost! They like to lurk in the dark and attack passing ships."
The little demon girl's hands began to tremble. "What should we do? We are all exhausted after just experiencing the attack of that monster!"
"What are you afraid of? We have new teammates this time." Robert smiled and patted Toby on the shoulder. "Hurry up and show us your useful information."
"Uh, um... OK." Toby nodded hurriedly, "I know sea ghosts are afraid of strong light. We can create a strong light source to drive them away!"
"Good idea, let's do it!" Jack ordered, and the others took action immediately.
While they were busy, they could hear the sound of conversation in the distance. Several figures emerged from the shadows, holding various strange weapons.
"It looks like other teams have also come here." Robert pointed this out.
One of the strangers saw them and showed a surprised expression: "Hey, friends over there, it seems that you are also in trouble? Do you want to cooperate and fight these monsters together?"
Another woman agreed, "We are here for the legendary treasure as well. Perhaps we can work together."
"Who are you..." Jack stared at these strangers, his eyes revealing vigilance.
The strange man walked up to him with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Don't worry, we mean no harm. My name is Alex, and this is my partner Lina. We are also here to explore the secrets here."
Lina followed, nodded, and added: "I heard that there is a legendary treasure here, and we were attracted by it. Why don't we cooperate, so that we have a better chance."
Toby interrupted and said, "Wow, so many people! It seems that everyone is very interested in this treasure."
Jack looked at his companions and saw that they all gave him an approving look, so he nodded slightly: "Okay, in this case, we will temporarily unite and act together. But I hope you will keep your word. If we find anything wrong, we will evacuate immediately."
Alex smiled brightly: "No problem! We all have the same goal. Let's work together."
After some discussion, they decided to work together to deal with the sea ghost. Toby quickly found a light source and installed it. At the same time, the others spread out and set traps in various corners to prevent the enemy from attacking.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the light in the cave seemed to become much dimmer. In the darkness in the distance, there were whispers and footsteps. Toby said nervously, "Here they come! Is everyone ready?"
"We are ready!" Robert answered firmly, holding the gunpowder bag tightly in his hand. Leonard also held the sword in his hand, with a firm look in his eyes. "No matter what difficulties lie ahead, we will overcome them!"
At this time, several ghostly figures slowly emerged from the darkness. They were as black as ink, with only a pair of eyes flashing with strange light exposed. "Be careful, they move very fast!" Alex warned loudly.
As soon as the words fell, a sea ghost rushed towards the nearest little demon girl. Fortunately, she was prepared and cast magic in time to build a transparent barrier in front of it. After a loud "bang", the monster hit it hard but could not penetrate it at all. "Huh... That was close." The little demon girl panted, and her hands trembled slightly as she retracted the energy.
On the other side, Jack brandished a dagger and fought a sea ghost that tried to attack Robert. "Go help the others, leave this to me!" He roared, forcing the enemy in front of him to retreat a few steps. Then, while the enemy had not yet reacted, he suddenly struck with force, and the knife flashed across the enemy's body, and blood immediately splattered...
As time went by, the battle gradually entered a white-hot stage. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and sweat; the sound of weapons colliding, screams and groans continued to be heard all around. Finally, with everyone's unremitting efforts, all the enemies fell one after another, and the whole space returned to peace.
Toby wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Wow, it was such a thrilling battle. I didn't expect that I could come out alive from such a dangerous place."
"This is all due to our unity and cooperation." Leonard responded seriously, and then he looked around: "But we can't let our guard down yet. The sound we just heard proves that there are more unknown beings lurking in the dark. We have to find an exit as soon as possible."
"Right!" Toby thought about it and clapped his hands, saying, "Remember there is a mark on the map indicating that there is a secret passage that leads directly to the destination. Maybe we can try this shortcut."
"Really? That's great!" Jack showed a happy expression, and then turned to everyone, "Everyone has worked hard, please take a rest and then continue on."
Just as they were packing up and preparing to set off again, they heard a slight noise not far behind them. Turning around, they saw a few dark figures approaching quietly. Alex snorted, "Hey, a few more unlucky guys here to take advantage of us?"
One of the leaders raised his hands in surrender to show that he had no ill intentions. "Don't get me wrong, my friends. We are actually facing the same problem. We just want to ask if we can join you in the adventure. After all, there is strength in numbers..."
The little demon girl looked at the shadows that suddenly appeared with vigilance, and raised her hands slightly, ready to build a defensive barrier again at any time. She bit her lower lip tightly, and her eyes revealed vigilance. "We have formed a team. If you have no ill intentions, please say so." Her voice was not loud, but very firm.
Alex turned around to face the new challengers or potential allies. "Don't be so nervous, beautiful lady," he said in a casual tone, obviously not intending to provoke a conflict. "As you can see, our goal is to find the secrets of this cave, and it seems that there are many monsters here. Instead of guarding against each other, it is better to unite and it will be more beneficial for everyone."
Jack stepped forward and stood in front of everyone. His aura as a leader made him stand out more in this situation. "Which side are you from? Why do you want to join us?" His words were polite but direct. At the same time, he used his eyes to signal Robert and the others to be ready to respond at any time. (End of this chapter)
