Mark's heartbeat roared in his ears like a war drum, and his footsteps echoed on the rocks of the cave. Every time he landed, it seemed to declare his will to survive. The monster was trapped in the rune formation, roaring angrily, and frantically attacking the light of the formation, but it could not shake it at all. Every time the thick spider legs stepped down, the ground trembled, and the gravel fell, stirring up dust. However, the light of the light blue rune was like an indestructible barrier, trapping the monster firmly in it.
The monster continued to attack the imprisonment formation, and the light of the formation gradually dimmed. The originally clear rune lines also began to become blurred and distorted, as if they would collapse at any time. The air in the cave became more oppressive because of the monster's struggle. Mark could even feel the light of the formation, but he could not shake it at all. The ground trembled with every attack of the monster, and the stalactites on the top of the cave also shook, making a tooth-grinding friction sound. Mark immediately used the remaining energy to violently fluctuate the energy in the air. He looked back and found that the frequency of the rune light flashing was getting faster and faster, and the confinement array was already in danger.
"Boom!" A loud noise came from behind, shaking the cave. Mark's heart sank suddenly, he knew that the confinement array had been broken by the monster.
He turned around and saw that the monster had broken free from its shackles and was chasing him. The monster's scarlet eyes stared at him, and it let out a series of creepy roars. Its huge wings flapped, bringing up gusts of wind. The gravel in the cave was collected, and it turned and ran deep into the cave, looking for other exits. "Ice Abyss Beast, follow!" Mark looked back at the Ice Abyss Beast lying on the ground and shouted loudly. The Ice Abyss Beast struggled to stand up, shook and the dust was blown everywhere. Mark quickened his pace and shuttled quickly in the cave. The rugged ground forced him to be careful to avoid tripping. On the rock walls on both sides of the passage, the dark red runes flickered in the light of the fire. The head tried to keep up with Mark's pace. It had many scars on its body and its breathing was a little rapid, but its green eyes were still full of determination.
A fork in the road appeared in front of it, and the two passages extended into the unknown darkness like the fangs of a giant beast. Mark didn't have time to think about it, and chose the road on the left without hesitation and continued to run wildly. He felt the vibration behind him getting stronger and stronger, and the roar of the monster was getting closer and closer, like a death warrant, so he didn't dare to slack off.
He looked back again, and the monster's figure was getting closer and closer, and its scarlet eyes were like two ghost lights in the dark, which was chilling. It waved its sharp claws, as if it would tear him apart at any time.
"Damn it!" Mark cursed secretly, quickened his pace, and quickly shuttled through the cave. The cave has a complex terrain and many forks, like a huge maze.
The figure of the monster behind him was getting closer and closer, and its scarlet eyes were like two will-o'-the-wisp lights in the darkness, which was chilling. It waved its sharp claws. Mark ran on the rugged road with the faint light of the fireball, and gravel and mud rolled under his feet. He felt the vibration behind him getting stronger and stronger, and the roar of the monster was getting closer and closer, like a death warrant, so he dared not slack off.
Mark did not dare to slack off at all. He increased his speed to the extreme and ran in the narrow passage. The whistling wind in his ears was as piercing as the howling of ghosts and wolves. He felt that the energy in his body was being consumed rapidly, but he did not dare to stop. He knew that as long as he stopped, he would be caught up by the monster.
Mark appeared at a fork in the road, and both passages led to unknown darkness. Mark chose the road on the left without hesitation and continued to run wildly. There were some ancient runes engraved on the wall of the cave in the left passage. Although he could not understand the meaning of these runes, he vaguely felt that this passage seemed safer. Bing gritted his teeth, his lungs burning like fire, but he didn't dare to slow down.
A glimmer of light appeared at the end of the left passage. The Abyss Beast followed closely behind Mark. Its huge body seemed a little clumsy in the narrow passage, but its speed was not slow at all. He felt the vibration behind him getting stronger and stronger, almost not far behind him.
"Almost! Almost!" Mark shouted in his heart, his legs mechanically moving forward, sweat sliding down his cheeks and dripping on the rough ground.
The light became brighter and brighter, and finally, Mark rushed out of the passage, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
This is a huge underground space, with dense stalactites hanging from the top, like an inverted sword, emitting a faint light. In the center of the space, there is a huge stone platform, which is engraved with complex runes and emits a faint blue light. Around the stone platform, there are some broken stone pillars and statues scattered around, as if they have experienced a fierce battle.
Mark ran for a distance and came to a wider cave. There was a huge pool in the center of the cave. Countless crystal clear stalactites hung above the pool, reflecting colorful light under the light of the fire, which looked particularly beautiful.
Like an inverted sword, it exudes a faint light. In the center of the space, there is a huge stone platform, which is engraved with complex runes and emits a faint blue light. Around the stone platform, there are some broken stone pillars and statues scattered, as if they have experienced a fierce battle.
Mark didn't have time to observe carefully, because the monster behind him also rushed out of the passage.
It let out a deafening roar, and its huge body hit the stone wall of the cave, and the gravel splashed. Its scarlet eyes stared at Mark, full of bloodthirsty desire.
Mark took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He looked around, looking for terrain that could be used. His eyes fell on the central stone platform, and his heart moved.
"Maybe, I can use the runes on the stone platform..." Mark thought to himself, and a bold plan formed in his mind.
He turned and ran towards the stone platform. Seeing this, the monster immediately roared and chased him.
Mark ran to the edge of the stone platform, jumped up and jumped onto the stone platform.
The monster followed closely and also jumped onto the stone platform. Its huge body shook the stone platform slightly, and some broken stones rolled down from the stone platform.
Mark stood on the stone platform, facing the monster, and raised the ice sword in his hand. He knew that this ice sword could not cause fatal damage to the monster, but he had to buy time.
He took a deep breath and stabbed the ice sword into the monster's eyes.
The monster suddenly tilted its head and dodged the attack of the ice sword. Its claws swung over, grabbing Mark with a sharp sound of wind.
Mark jumped back and dodged the monster's attack. After he landed, he immediately ran to the other side of the stone platform. The Ice Abyss Beast then pounced on the monster.
Mark observed the runes on the stone platform while running. He found that these runes seemed to form a formation, and the center of the formation was a groove in the center of the stone platform.
Mark's fingers quickly turned the pages of the book, and his eyes quickly scanned the text and patterns on it.
"Found it!" Mark exclaimed, his eyes resting on a complex rune pattern. He took a deep breath, concentrated the energy in his body to his fingertips, and began to draw runes in the air. Golden light flowed from his fingertips, outlining a complex pattern in the air. The air in the cave seemed to solidify, and a strange energy fluctuation spread in the air.
The battle between the monster and the Ice Abyss Beast also entered a white-hot stage. Although the Ice Abyss Beast is flexible, it is not as powerful as the monster. It has several more wounds on its body, and blood flows down the wounds, dyeing its blue hair red.
"Hold on, Ice Abyss Beast!" Mark shouted loudly, and his movements in his hands accelerated a bit. The rune pattern became more and more complete, and the golden light became more and more dazzling.
The monster seemed to have noticed Mark's movements, and it roared angrily, trying to rush towards Mark. But the Ice Abyss beast entangled it tightly, not letting it get close to Mark. It used all its strength to push the monster to the edge of the pool.
"Now!" Mark shouted, and the rune pattern in his hand was finally completed. The golden light suddenly burst out, illuminating the entire cave. The rune pattern turned into a golden beam and shot at the monster.
The monster was hit by the golden light and let out a shrill scream. Its body trembled violently, as if it was in great pain. The golden light spread over its body, like countless golden threads, tightly wrapping it.
The monster struggled to get rid of the shackles of the golden light, but to no avail. The golden light became stronger and stronger, and finally swallowed the monster completely.
"Bang"
A few seconds after the monster disappeared, a crystal fell from the void.
The cave returned to calm, with only the sound of water dripping from the pool echoing in the silent space. Mark stood there, gasping for breath, his face pale. The rune book in his hand fell to the ground with a slight sound.
The Ice Abyss Beast staggered to Mark's side and gently rubbed his legs with its head, as if to comfort him. Mark reached out and stroked the Ice Abyss Beast's head, and took the crystal stone from the Ice Abyss Beast.
