Chapter 484: Crisis of the Secret Base
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen followed the clues provided by the informant, sleeping in the open air, and rushed to the secret base non-stop. They knew that this operation was related to the survival of the sect and could not afford to make mistakes. As they went deeper into the mountains and forests, the road became more rugged and difficult to travel. The surroundings were strangely quiet, and the occasional roar of unknown wild animals added a bit of tension to the atmosphere.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the dense branches and leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Just when Yun Yao felt a little tired, Chu Mochen gently patted her shoulder and pointed forward with a firm gaze: "Yun Yao, look, it should be there." Looking in the direction of his finger, I saw a few wisps of smoke rising faintly at the mouth of a valley. If you don't look carefully, it will be easily covered by the surrounding environment.
The two looked at each other, a trace of solemnity and determination flashed in their eyes, and then they approached the valley more carefully. The stronghold was surrounded by various defensive arrays, which cleverly used the terrain of the valley and the surrounding spiritual fluctuations, and would trigger the alarm if not carefully. Yun Yao turned on the detection function of the system, and a subtle light flashed in her eyes. The system quickly outlined the general outline and weak points of the array in her mind. She gently pulled the corner of Chu Mochen's clothes and said in a very low voice: "This way, follow me, and walk lightly."
Chu Mochen nodded slightly, followed closely behind Yun Yao, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, and the sword body trembled slightly, as if responding to the nervousness of the owner. With their superb concealment skills, they cleverly avoided waves of enemies patrolling outside the stronghold. Yun Yao's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and she was extremely cautious every time she landed, for fear of alarming the hidden dangers around her.
Just as they were about to approach the core area where supplies were stored, something unexpected happened. Yun Yao was concentrating on bypassing a seemingly inconspicuous spiritual vortex, which was a hidden node of the magic circle, but she did not notice a very thin tripwire under her feet. When her toes lightly touched the tripwire, a dazzling light instantly lit up, and then, a piercing alarm sounded like thunder and echoed throughout the valley.
In an instant, the entire stronghold fell into chaos. The originally quiet valley seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, with shouts, footsteps, and the sound of weapons colliding intertwined. A large number of enemies gathered around them. These enemies were dressed in uniform black clothes, with black scarves covering their faces, revealing only pairs of cold and murderous eyes. The leaders had strong spiritual power fluctuations, and were obviously monks of extraordinary strength.
Yun Yao secretly thought that it was not good, but there was no way out at this moment. She quickly stood back to back with Chu Mochen, with a flash of determination in her eyes: "Chu Mochen, let's fight! We must get the evidence today no matter what." Chu Mochen swung his sword and let out a clear whistle: "Okay, we will live and die together!"
The enemies came like a tide, and Chu Mochen took the lead, swinging the long sword in his hand and releasing sharp sword energy. Each sword energy was like a roaring dragon, with an indomitable momentum, instantly repelling the enemies who rushed to the front. He was agile and his sword moves were sharp. Every time he swung the sword, he accurately picked out the enemy's vital points, and for a while, the enemy could not get close.
Yun Yao cast the unique spell given by the system, quickly forming seals with both hands, and her body was shining. In an instant, the sky was changing, and lightning streaked down like silver snakes, striking the surrounding enemies. At the same time, earth spikes emerged from the ground, like sharp blades breaking out of the ground, making it difficult for the enemy to defend. Her eyes were cold, and while controlling the spell attack, she kept an eye on the movements of the surrounding enemies, and reminded Chu Mochen from time to time: "There is a master on the left, be careful!"
However, the enemies kept coming and their strength should not be underestimated. As the battle continued, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen gradually felt exhausted. Chu Mochen's sword moves gradually slowed down, and he needed to use more strength every time he swung his sword. Sweat soaked his back, slid down his cheeks, and dripped onto the ground under his feet. Yun Yao's spiritual power was also severely consumed. The light of the spell began to dim, her breathing became rapid, and her face turned slightly pale.
But they only had one belief in their hearts, that is, to obtain evidence and save the sect. Yun Yao gritted her teeth, took out a handful of pills from the storage ring, quickly stuffed a few into her mouth, and handed them to Chu Mochen: "Quick, replenish your spiritual power!" Chu Mochen took the pills, raised his head and swallowed them. In a moment, a warm current surged in his body, and his spiritual power recovered a little.
They continued to resist stubbornly, but the enemy was getting closer and closer. At this moment, a tall enemy seized the opportunity, wielded a huge axe, and slashed at Yun Yao fiercely. Yun Yao couldn't dodge in time, so she could only raise her arms to block. A huge impact came, and she flew backwards, hitting a tree heavily, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Yun Yao!" Chu Mochen was so anxious when he saw this that he rushed towards Yun Yao without hesitation. But how could the enemy miss this great opportunity? They surrounded him in an instant. Chu Mochen fought hard and was injured in many places. His clothes were stained with blood, but the killing intent in his eyes became stronger.
Just when the situation was extremely critical, Yun Yao struggled to get up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes. She ran the system again, trying to find a way to break through the predicament. The system light flashed, and a prompt sounded in her mind: "Activate the concealment rune, which can temporarily hide your body for thirty breaths."
Yun Yao didn't have time to think about it, and quickly activated the stealth rune according to the system's instructions. In an instant, her figure gradually blurred and blended into the surrounding environment. Seeing this, the enemy suddenly panicked and looked around for Yun Yao's trace.
Yun Yao took advantage of this brief chaos and quietly went around to the rear of the enemy. The spell in her hand changed, and a powerful flame burst out from her palm, instantly enveloping several enemies. The enemies screamed, and the fire spread rapidly, causing the surrounding enemies to lose their footing.
Seeing this, Chu Mochen was refreshed. Taking advantage of the enemy's panic, he once again used his sharp sword moves and cooperated with Yun Yao to reverse the disadvantage. But they knew that this was only a temporary respite, and the enemy would soon reorganize the attack, and they had to find a way to enter the core area within this limited time.
Yun Yao looked around, her eyes fell on a slightly gloomy building deep in the base. The spiritual energy fluctuations around that building were the strongest, and it must be the key to storing supplies. She sent a voice message to Chu Mochen: "Let's rush to that building, that should be the target." Chu Mochen nodded slightly, and the two of them rushed towards the building side by side again.
Along the way, the enemy tried desperately to stop them, and the battle became more and more brutal. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen had more and more wounds on their bodies, but their eyes became more and more determined. Every time they fell, they quickly got up; every time they were injured, it turned into a stronger fighting spirit. In this desperate situation of life and death, they relied on their tenacious perseverance and loyalty to the sect, step by step approaching their goal.
As the building was getting closer, a powerful spiritual barrier suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way. Yun Yao was anxious and reached out to touch the barrier. A strong recoil force came, causing her to almost fall again. "What should I do? This barrier is too strong." She looked at Chu Mochen anxiously.
Chu Mochen frowned, and the long sword in his hand kept probing the weak points of the barrier. Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Yun Yao, look here, there are some differences in the spiritual power fluctuations. Maybe it's a breakthrough." Upon hearing this, Yun Yao quickly came to his side. The two of them worked together, gathered all their spiritual power at one point, and slammed towards the weak point.
With a loud noise, the barrier rippled and a small gap appeared. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were overjoyed and rushed in through the gap without hesitation. However, as soon as they entered, they felt a stronger pressure coming towards them. They didn't know what kind of danger was hidden inside. But at this moment, there was no turning back. They could only bite the bullet and continue to go deeper into this secret base full of dangers.
