"The Eye of Hell? Is it really that terrifying?"
Liu Huihui was clearly shaken by Liu Qin's words. If what she said was true, then this was beyond horrifying. "Brother Hunter, what should we do now? Should we leave here immediately?"
Hunter Liu remained silent, his eyes fixed on the round orb of light in front of him. He sensed an unusual aura within it—not frightening or destructive, but rather… familiar, almost endearing. It was as though he had felt this aura before, or as if there was some deep connection between it and himself.
"What is going on?" Hunter Liu's mind grew increasingly puzzled as he continued to stare at the orb, hoping to discern its secrets.
"Brother Hunter, what are you looking at?" Liu Huihui asked, confused.
"It's nothing." Hunter Liu shook his head and sighed, about to look away. But just then, several blue beams of light shot out from the orb with lightning speed, piercing into the bodies of Hunter Liu and the others.
"Hiss…"
A strange, sizzling sound emerged from their bodies. Liu Huihui and Liu Qin seemed to suffer a powerful shock, collapsing unconscious on the ground.
Hunter Liu felt as though his mind had been struck by lightning, his thoughts plunging into a blank void.
He vaguely sensed a fluid surging violently within him, as if his blood was boiling.
"Ah…"
At that moment, he felt as if his very soul were being pulled apart. His skin burned with excruciating pain, as though every inch of his body were screaming, yet no sound would come out.
The orb, which Liu Qin had called the Eye of Hell, began to pulsate slowly. Within the orb, faint blue glows emerged, shimmering like electrical currents and making faint buzzing sounds. However, there was still no energy radiating outward, as if it were simply a harmless light with no special qualities.
Hunter Liu's eyes had closed by then, or he might have noticed a sharp, violent energy gradually forming within the orb.
The light continued to pulsate, and the speed of its movements became visibly faster. The buzzing grew louder and more intense, causing the entire shrine to tremble slightly, making one's heart pound with anxiety.
"Awoooo!!"
Suddenly, eerie wails emanated from the orb, like a chorus of ghostly screams. It was as if the depths of hell itself lay just beyond the light.
"Swish…"
The blue light within the orb intensified, becoming increasingly blinding. At a certain moment, a ray of white light shot out from within, emitting an overwhelmingly sharp aura that cut everything around it into fragments—the ground, the surroundings, all shattered.
This white light did not fly off randomly; it sped directly toward Hunter Liu, merging into a single beam and sinking into his chest.
The light flashed for a brief moment, and as it disappeared into Hunter Liu's body, the sharp aura in the air gradually faded away.
