Chapter 141 It’s too late to explain
Teng Junze and Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath and stepped into the misty formation.
Thick white fog wrapped around their ankles like a living thing, swallowing up all sounds around them, leaving only the slightly rapid heartbeats of each other.
Visibility was extremely low. When I stretched out my hand, I couldn't even see my own fingers.
Fan Mengmeng subconsciously held Teng Junze's hand tightly. The warmth of his palm from her fingertips made her feel a little relieved.
The two men groped their way forward. Teng Junze drew out his sword and drew a shallow mark on the ground with the blade as a mark of their return.
The surroundings were terribly silent, with only the occasional sound of dripping water, which was infinitely amplified in the silence and struck their nerves.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew from behind. Fan Mengmeng turned around instinctively, but only saw a void of white mist.
Teng Junze raised his sword alertly, and the sword emitted a faint golden light, illuminating a small area around him.
However, there was nothing.
"Be careful!" Teng Junze shouted and suddenly pulled Fan Mengmeng behind him.
Almost at the same time, a black shadow rushed out from the thick fog and headed straight for the place where Fan Mengmeng was originally standing.
The black shadow was extremely fast, looked like a ghost, and made a sharp hissing sound.
Teng Junze swung his sword towards the black shadow, but it seemed as if he was cutting into the air, and the sword passed through unhindered.
The black shadow missed the attack and quickly disappeared into the fog.
Teng Junze's face was solemn. This thing could actually ignore physical attacks!
Before they could catch their breath, more dark shadows emerged from all directions, floating around like ghosts and emitting creepy screams.
These ghostly creatures seemed to be able to penetrate their defenses and attack their spirits directly. Waves of tingling sensations came over Fan Mengmeng, and she felt dizzy.
Teng Junze waved his sword, trying to drive back the ghosts, but found that it was all in vain.
"These things... don't look like entities!" Teng Junze gritted his teeth, swung his sword to block the ghost's attack, and at the same time protected Fan Mengmeng behind him.
There were already several wounds on his body. Although the wounds were not deep, they were faintly emitting black air. It was obvious that these ghosts carried some kind of strange toxin.
"Damn it..." Teng Junze groaned, feeling the strength in his body being gradually consumed.
These ghosts are invisible and intangible, but they can attack their minds and bodies, making them defenseless.
Fan Mengmeng supported Teng Junze, her face pale, but a strange light flashed in her eyes...
"Wait..." she muttered.
Fan Mengmeng bit her lower lip, and scenes of fighting against invisible mutant creatures in the apocalypse flashed through her mind.
Those cunning guys are also invisible and intangible, but they are extremely sensitive to sound waves and light.
"Sound...light..." She whispered to herself, her eyes scanning the surrounding environment.
Although this place is shrouded in thick fog, it is not completely silent.
The sound of dripping water, the sound of wind, and even the faint growl of some creature in the distance, these subtle sounds became weapons in her hands at this moment.
Fan Mengmeng took out a few small flares from her backpack, which were the equipment she often used in the apocalypse.
She quickly lit the flares and threw them in different directions.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" There were several explosions in succession, and the dazzling light instantly dispelled the surrounding thick fog and illuminated the originally invisible ghosts.
They let out shrill screams, and their bodies twisted and struggled in the strong light, as if they were burned by flames.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Teng Junze swung his sword and chopped several ghosts that came too close into pieces.
However, the good times did not last long.
The ghosts seemed to realize that the strong light was not good for them, and they quickly retreated and hid in the thick fog again.
But this time, they no longer acted alone, but began to gather together, like countless black smoke gathering into a huge vortex.
In the center of the vortex, a huge ghost gradually took shape. Its size was several times larger than the previous ghost, and it exuded a suffocating cold breath.
Teng Junze and Fan Mengmeng's attacks fell on the huge ghost, but they were like a drop in the ocean, without causing any substantial damage.
The ghost let out a deafening roar, and a powerful shock wave blew them away, knocking them heavily to the ground.
Teng Junze struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"This won't work..." he whispered, "We must find its weakness!"
Fan Mengmeng also stood up, holding Teng Junze's arm, staring at the huge ghost.
Suddenly, she noticed a faint light flickering on the ghost's chest.
"There..." She pointed at the ghost's chest, her voice trembling, "It seems... there is something..." Teng Junze followed her gaze and his pupils suddenly shrank...
"Could it be...
"
Fan Mengmeng's breathing became rapid, and she held Teng Junze's arm tightly, her fingertips almost digging into his muscles.
"It's... it's its energy core!" she almost shouted, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
In the end times, almost all mutated creatures have a fatal weakness - the energy core.
As long as the energy core is destroyed, they can be completely eliminated.
A gleam of light flashed in Teng Junze's eyes, and he immediately understood what Fan Mengmeng meant.
He took a deep breath, concentrated all the energy in his body into one point, and a dazzling ball of light gradually formed between his palms.
The ball of light grew brighter and brighter, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
The air around seemed to freeze, and time became extremely slow at this moment.
"Hah!" Teng Junze roared and pushed the ball of light out of his hand.
The ball of light transformed into a dazzling beam of light, cutting through the thick fog like lightning and accurately hitting the flickering light in the ghost's chest.
A shrill scream resounded through the heavens and earth, and the huge ghost trembled violently. Its body began to rapidly disintegrate, turning into countless black fragments and dissipating into the air.
As the ghosts dissipated, the thick fog that enveloped them gradually dissipated, and the surrounding scene gradually became clear.
In the center of the formation, an ancient treasure chest lay quietly on the ground, emitting an alluring golden light.
The surface of the treasure chest is carved with complex patterns, which seems to contain some mysterious power.
Teng Junze and Fan Mengmeng looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and anticipation.
They approached the treasure chest cautiously and reached out their hands...
"Wait!" Teng Junze suddenly stopped and looked around vigilantly.
An inexplicable feeling of unease surged in his heart, and he felt that the air around him seemed to become heavier.
Fan Mengmeng also noticed something strange. She clenched the dagger in her hand and stared at Teng Junze.
He exhaled slowly and said in a deep voice, "Something... is approaching..." Golden light flickered in the eyes of the two men, as if wealth and glory were within reach.
However, just as Teng Junze's hand was about to touch the treasure chest, a transparent energy barrier appeared out of thin air and blocked the treasure chest.
The barrier was shining brightly, with complex runes faintly visible flashing, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
Almost at the same time, more energy barriers rose up around them, trapping them in a small space.
These barriers were like invisible walls, separating them from the treasure chest.
Different patterns and symbols appear on each barrier, like puzzles waiting to be solved.
"It seems that getting the treasure is not that easy." Teng Junze raised his eyebrows, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He loves challenges in his heart. The more difficult the situation, the more it can stimulate his fighting spirit.
Fan Mengmeng also put away the joy on her face and looked at the surrounding barriers seriously.
She knew very well that these barriers were no ordinary obstacles and might contain deadly traps.
The two began to carefully observe the patterns and symbols on the barrier, trying to find the patterns.
These patterns are complex and obscure, and seem to contain some ancient code.
As time passed, the runes on the barrier flashed faster and faster, as if urging them to solve the puzzle as soon as possible.
"These symbols... I seem to have seen them somewhere..." Fan Mengmeng frowned and thought hard.
She always felt that these symbols seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them.
Teng Junze approached it from another angle. He tried to attack the barriers with his true Qi, but found that the barriers were indestructible and no attack could shake them at all.
"It seems that brute force won't work." He withdrew his hand, frowning.
Suddenly, a light flashed in Fan Mengmeng's eyes.
"I remember now!" she said excitedly, "These symbols... are from ancient star maps!" Before the end of the world, she had done some research on ancient astronomy, and these symbols were exactly the marks commonly used in ancient star maps.
"Astrological chart?" A hint of doubt flashed in Teng Junze's eyes. Although he was well-read, he knew very little about astronomy.
Fan Mengmeng pointed to the pattern on one of the barriers and explained, "Look, this pattern represents the Big Dipper, and this one..."
Before she could finish her words, the barrier around her suddenly vibrated violently, and the runes flashed several times faster, emitting a dazzling light.
The ground also began to tremble, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
Teng Junze's expression changed, and he grabbed Fan Mengmeng's hand and said in a deep voice, "There's no time to explain! Hurry!"
He pulled Fan Mengmeng towards one of the barriers and shouted, "Trust me!"
