Creation and immortality: I can manifest endless talents

At this moment, everyone's heart was full of expectations.

With the fall of the last spell, the lake suddenly calmed down, and the light on the stone pillar gradually dissipated.

However, unlike their expectations, there was no passage leading to the deeper part. Instead, the ground in the center of the island began to rise slowly, forming a stone spiral staircase.

"It seems that this is our exit." Gu Yang said, and took the lead in stepping onto the spiral staircase.

The stairs seemed to have no end. They kept rising. More complex totems and characters were engraved on the surrounding stone walls. Every step seemed to be deciphering the code of ancient civilization.

Finally, a ray of sunlight came in from above, and Gu Yang and his teammates quickened their pace.

When they walked out of the stairs, the scene in front of them made them hold their breath involuntarily.

They came to a completely different world, surrounded by lush mountains and forests, the air was filled with fresh flowers, birds sang happily on the branches, and the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled on the soft ground.

"Where is this...?" A team member asked in surprise.

"We have left the underground palace." Gu Yang looked at the surrounding scenery, and a gleam of thought flashed in his eyes, "But this is obviously not the area where we entered the underground palace."

The members of the team walked out of the stairs one after another. They looked around in this unknown forest, trying to find some clues.

"We should have come out on the other side of the underground palace." Tie Yi analyzed, "The ecological environment here seems to be more primitive, and it may be a place where few people have set foot."

Gu Yang nodded. He knew that the most important thing now was to determine their location and find a way back.

He signaled the team members to search around to see if there were any features that could identify the direction.

They dispersed and observed carefully in the forest.

Soon, a team member found a stream with clear water and could find a way down the mountain along the stream.

"Let's go along this stream." Gu Yang decided, "There will always be an exit for the water flow."

The team regrouped and moved in the direction of the stream.

The stream gurgled, and they walked on the path beside the stream. The surrounding scenery was quiet and beautiful, making people temporarily forget the tension and danger before.

As time went by, the stream gradually widened, and they came to an open valley.

There is a wide lake in the center of the valley. The lake is like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and sky.

"We found it." Gu Yang said with a smile, "This should be the exit of the valley. We can find the way back in this direction."

The members of the team also smiled. They found a sense of security in this unknown forest.

Although the exploration process is full of unknowns and dangers, the gains they got far exceeded their expectations.

Gu Yang took out the rock engraved with the Naxi totem they found in the underground palace. He firmly believed that this experience was just the beginning of the adventure. The secrets on the rock and the star map will guide them to go further.

"Let's go, our journey is not over yet." Gu Yang waved his long knife and led his teammates to the other side of the lake and headed for a new adventure.

Just as the team was moving along the edge of the lake, preparing to find a path to the outside world, a strange vibration came and interrupted their steps.

Gu Yang's eyes became alert in an instant, and he raised his hand to signal the team members to stop and hide.

The vibration became stronger and stronger, as if the whole valley was shaking.

Suddenly, a group of huge creatures rushed out from the opposite woods. They were several times larger than ordinary beasts, and their skin was covered with thick scales. Obviously, they were also a group of giant beasts.

The appearance of these giant beasts was shocking. They were tall and had clear muscle lines, as majestic as ancient stone sculptures.

Every step they took was accompanied by heavy footsteps, as if the earth was trembling as they moved.

Their heads were wide, and their eyes were like burning coals, emitting red light, revealing a wild threat that could not be ignored.

The skin of the giant beasts was covered with thick scales, and each scale was like forged iron armor, shining with a metallic luster.

Dark red mucus flowed in the gaps between the scales, giving people a burning feeling just by looking at it.

Their tails were long and thick, covered with barbs, and as their bodies swung, their tails drew chilling arcs in the air.

The mouths of these giants are particularly eye-catching. Their wide mouths are lined with sharp teeth. Whenever they open their mouths, you can see the deep throat, as if it leads to the abyss of endless darkness.

Their nostrils spew hot air from time to time, as if venting the boiling power in their bodies.

The Nine Nether Giants, everyone in their team has seen and killed many of them outside the sealed land.

So, when these giants came from a distance, they immediately found something different.

These giants look the same as the Nine Nether Giants, but they always feel that something is strange.

Gu Yang and his teammates held their breath and stared. No one expected to encounter such a huge monster in such a quiet valley.

The giants did not seem to notice their existence immediately, but gathered at the edge of the lake, lowered their heads to drink water, and revealed an inadvertent elegance in their movements.

The members of the team exchanged glances with each other. They knew that facing such creatures, any reckless action could lead to disaster.

Gu Yang gently signaled, and everyone slowly retreated, trying not to alarm the beasts and find a safe path around the lake.

However, just as they were moving quietly, a stone above suddenly rolled down the slope, making a crisp collision sound.

This sudden noise immediately alerted the beasts. They raised their heads, and the air around them seemed to solidify.

The beasts' eyes were as sharp as knives, sweeping through the surrounding woods, looking for the source of the sound just now.

Gu Yang held the long knife tightly, he knew that there was no room for avoidance now.

"Prepare for battle!" He whispered, and his teammates quickly formed a battle formation. Facing these unknown beasts, they could not be careless.

A leader-like existence in the group of beasts let out a low roar, and the sound vibrated in the air, as if it could shatter people's bones.

It rushed towards Gu Yang and the others first, and the rest of the beasts also launched a charge.

The battle was about to break out, Gu Yang waved his long knife, and slashed fiercely at the attack of the beast.

The long sword collided with the scales of the giant beast, and dazzling sparks burst out, but surprisingly, the long sword failed to cut into the scales, leaving only a shallow mark.

The teammates also found the same problem. Their attacks seemed to cause no effective damage to these giant beasts.

The defense of these giant beasts was extremely amazing, and they were many times stronger than those nine-hell giant beasts outside the sealed land.

A fierce battle unfolded in the valley. Gu Yang and his teammates kept changing tactics, trying to find the weaknesses of the giant beasts.

However, the offensive of the giant beasts became more and more fierce. Their bodies rushed across the battlefield, destroying all obstacles that blocked them.

Just when the team was in a difficult battle, a team member was accidentally hit by the tail of the giant beast while attacking it, flew backwards, and hit a big tree hard.

Seeing this, Gu Yang's heart tightened, and he rushed forward to cover, while commanding other team members to provide support.

Just as Gu Yang and his teammates were fighting fiercely with the giant beasts, an unprecedented power fluctuation broke out in the center of the battlefield.

Gu Yang instantly realized that the energy flowing in these giant beasts was not the Nine Nether Power they were familiar with, but a more ancient and mysterious energy.

As the battle continued, the attack methods of these giant beasts began to become more bizarre. Every collision and roar of theirs was accompanied by indescribable fluctuations, as if they could tear the space and distort the surrounding environment.

Gu Yang tightly grasped the long knife, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

He realized that in order to defeat these giant beasts, they must find the source of their power.

He shouted loudly to his teammates: "Pay attention to their eyes and mouths, there is a strange light there!"

The shooters in the team immediately adjusted their attack targets and concentrated their firepower on the eyes and mouths of the giant beasts.

For a time, arrows poured down like a meteor shower, and the roars of the giant beasts were mixed with painful roars.

Under repeated attacks, the offensive of the giant beasts gradually weakened.

Gu Yang and his teammates took the opportunity to increase their offensive and tried to open up the battle.

However, at this moment, a dazzling red light suddenly burst out of the eyes of a giant beast and shot straight at Gu Yang.

Gu Yang dodged sideways suddenly, and the long sword danced in his hand with a series of dark blue lights, blocking the attack of the red light.

But he knew in his heart that the power of these giant beasts was not just physical strength, and the power contained in their bodies was much more complicated than imagined.

Just as Gu Yang and his teammates were trying to resist the fierce attack of the giant beasts, a hot breath came from the group of giant beasts.

A larger giant beast squeezed out of the group, and every step it took was accompanied by an earthquake. The dark red mucus in the gaps of its scales began to burn, turning into a fire attached to the surface of the giant beast, burning the grass and trees on the ground.

The appearance of the flame giant beast made the atmosphere of the battlefield more tense. It opened its huge mouth and spewed out flames, instantly igniting the surrounding trees. The fire reflected on everyone's face, casting an orange-red shadow.

Gu Yang narrowed his eyes, and he knew that the difficulty of this battle had risen to a new level.

At this time, Tieyi quickly gave orders: "Pay attention to avoid the flames, comrades, give priority to attacking the flame beast!"

Several archers using bows and arrows quickly adjusted their shooting angles, and arrows drew light tracks in the air, focusing on the flame beast.

However, the flame of the flame beast seemed to have a defensive effect, and many arrows were burned out when they came into contact with the flames on its body.

Gu Yang realized that they needed to change their strategy.

He waved his long sword, and his figure shuttled across the battlefield like a ghost. Every time he shot, he accurately hit the vital points of the beast. Although the damage was limited, it effectively restrained the beast's actions.

At the same time, he shouted loudly: "No, I will hold it back, you hurry up and clean up the other beasts!"

However, the next moment, as his voice fell, flames began to spread on the bodies of other beasts around him!

Just as the flames of the flame beasts began to spread on them, Gu Yang's team immediately felt unprecedented pressure.

The flames were like living things, not only providing powerful protection for the beasts, but also forming insurmountable walls of fire on the battlefield.

Gu Yang frowned, and his eyes quickly scanned the battlefield, looking for the possibility of retreat.

The power of the fire beasts was beyond their expectations, and every attack put the team in great danger.

Since it was impossible to do anything, there was no need for them to fight here.

"Retreat!" At this time, Tieyi also realized this problem and immediately gave orders loudly.

He knew that continuing to fight would only result in the loss of precious lives of the team members.

Although the members of the team were unwilling, they also understood the situation in front of them. They quickly gathered their formation and retreated along the route they came from.

The group of fire beasts seemed to have noticed their intentions, and angry roars and more fierce fire attacks followed.

Gu Yang waved his long knife, cutting off the flames one by one, buying time for his teammates to retreat.

Behind him, the shooters in the team kept looking back and shooting, trying to slow down the pursuit speed of the group of beasts.

However, the speed of the group of fire beasts was far beyond their imagination, and several beasts had begun to gradually approach.

"Go!" Tieyi blocked a flame with a shield on the other side of the team and shouted loudly.

The members of the team ran as fast as they could, their breathing became rapid, and sweat and the scorching air intertwined, suffocating.

Suddenly, a giant beast in the back stomped its foot. The next moment, a huge crack appeared under the feet of a member of the team.

In the crack, magma was boiling and flames were surging.

Gu Yang was quick-witted and pulled him up, and almost when the flames were about to engulf him, he dragged the team members to continue rushing forward.

They passed through the dense forest and crossed the thorns, and saw that the pursuit of the group of fire beasts seemed to slow down.

Gu Yang's heartbeat was like a drum, and his steps became heavier and heavier as he kept running.

He knew that they had to find a safe route to completely get rid of the pursuit of these fire beasts.

As they were running, a narrow valley appeared in front of them, with steep rock walls on both sides, which seemed to be a natural barrier.

"Over there! Hurry!" Gu Yang shouted, pointing to the valley.

The members of the team suddenly showed a touch of ecstasy in their eyes, and they all accelerated to change direction and rushed towards the direction of the valley.

Their speed was faster than before, as if they were racing against the god of death.

The roar of the fire beasts echoed behind them, but as they entered the valley, the sound gradually became distant.

The valley was winding, and they kept moving forward between rocks and trees until they felt the heat waves and roars behind them disappear without a trace. (End of this chapter)
