From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 375 Yao Maiden Overcomes Danger to Reach Treasure, Climax of the Exploration is Both Surpris

damn it!

How come this beast just won't die?!

The phantom beast's frenzied attacks poured down like a torrential rain, and I felt like my bones were about to fall apart.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, mixed with the nauseating stench emanating from the phantom beast, making me want to vomit.

"Hold on, everyone! We're almost there!" I roared, my voice terribly hoarse, but my tone was filled with unwavering determination.

I know I can't fall. I'm the backbone of this team. If I fall, we're all really finished.

Zi Ling's face was deathly pale, but she still gripped the magic weapon tightly in her hand, her eyes revealing a defiant spirit.

Elder Qingfeng's face turned even paler, and his breathing became rapid, clearly indicating that his old injury had relapsed.

Blood Fiend, however, seemed to be injected with adrenaline, his attacks becoming increasingly ferocious. His greedy eyes were fixed on the door behind the Phantom Beast, as if the door held the treasure he had always dreamed of.

The Phantom Beast let out a deafening roar, slamming its massive claws into the ground, causing it to tremble violently. We stumbled and nearly fell.

I felt like my internal organs had shifted, and a metallic sweetness welled up in my throat. I gritted my teeth and swallowed it back down.

"Xiao Yao, be careful!" Elder Qingfeng's voice rang in my ears.

I looked up sharply and saw the Phantom Beast's giant claws attacking again. I instinctively dodged to the side, barely avoiding the blow.

But my left arm was grazed by the phantom beast's claws, and a sharp pain shot through me. I felt that my left arm had lost all feeling.

"Xiao Yao!" Zi Ling exclaimed and rushed to my side, supporting my swaying body.

"I'm fine," I said, forcing myself to speak despite the pain.

I can't fall. I still need to lead everyone to the treasure. I still need to...

"Hahaha! You will all die!" Blood Fiend laughed wildly, his attacks becoming even more frenzied, as if he wanted to kill us.

"Elder Qingfeng, you take Ziling and go first, I'll hold it off!" I said to Elder Qingfeng.

"No! How could I abandon you!" Elder Qingfeng refused resolutely.

"Elder, listen to me! You take Ziling and go find the treasure first. Only by finding the treasure can we have any hope of survival!" I said firmly.

Elder Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

He led Zi Ling toward the gate behind the phantom beast.

"Trying to leave? Not so easy!" Seeing this, Blood Fiend quickly gave chase.

"Your opponent is me!" I stood in front of Blood Fiend, the longsword in my hand emitting a crisp sword sound.

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!" Blood Fiend sneered, his long sword slashing towards me with a sharp blade aura.

I took a deep breath and poured all the remaining spiritual power in my body into the longsword. The longsword emitted a dazzling light, and I swung it to meet the attack of the Blood Fiend.

"when!"

With a loud bang, my body was thrown backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

I felt like my internal organs had shattered, and a mouthful of blood spurted from my mouth.

I struggled to stand up, only to find that I couldn't move my body.

"Xiao Yao!" Zi Ling's voice rang in my ears. She ran over and helped me up.

"I...I'm fine..." I said weakly.

"Xiao Yao, how are you?" Elder Qingfeng also rushed over, his face full of worry.

"I...I'm fine..." I said again, but I felt my consciousness starting to fade.

"Xiao Yao, you must hold on!" Zi Ling said, crying.

"I...I..." I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say anything.

I felt my eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and everything in front of me became blurry.

"Wen Chen... wait for me..." I whispered with my last bit of strength.

Then, everything went black, and I completely lost consciousness.

“Xiao Yao…”

A familiar voice rang in my ears... Who is it?

"Wen Chen..." I subconsciously reached out, wanting to grab the owner of that voice...

"puff!"

When that beast slapped down with its claw, I felt as if I had been hit by a mountain. My internal organs felt like they were about to shatter, and I spat out a mouthful of blood, which drew a tragic arc in the air.

My goodness, this taste is absolutely amazing!

I staggered back a few steps, feeling as if all my strength had been drained, and my vision blurred.

My chest feels incredibly tight, like a huge rock is pressing down on it, making it hard to breathe.

But my gaze, hehe, was incredibly firm!

Like, well, like an eagle eyeing a rabbit, never letting go!

"I can't give up, I absolutely can't give up!" I cheered myself on in my heart, my voice hoarse like a broken gong, but I couldn't lose my spirit!

Just kidding, I'm going to become the woman of an immortal lord, how can I fall here?

If this gets out, where will I, Xiao Yao, put my face?

That bastard Xue Sha is still jumping around there, leaping and bounding like a monkey.

His thieving eyes never left the door behind the phantom beast; he was practically drooling.

I know he dreams of getting his hands on the treasure inside, but I'm not going to let him have his way!

Just at this critical moment, out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of something glittering at the feet of the phantom beast, emitting an eerie light.

Why does this light look so familiar?

and many more!

I slapped my thigh. Wasn't that the light that flashed when the phantom beast's power surged just now?!

Could it be... that this thing is its source of power?

Damn!

Why does my brain fail me at such a crucial moment?

Such an important clue, and it's only been discovered now!

Really... Sigh, never mind, now is not the time to blame myself.

I took a deep breath, suppressed the churning in my chest, and charged towards the phantom beast's feet with all my might.

"Ziling, Elder Qingfeng, cover me!" I shouted, my voice cracking.

Zi Ling may seem gentle and weak at times, but she's actually quite reliable when it matters.

Without saying a word, she rushed forward, brandishing her magical weapon, and engaged in a fierce battle with the phantom beast.

Although Elder Qingfeng was injured, he gritted his teeth and joined the battle.

That old man of his is really capable of causing a lot of trouble.

With their cover, my stress was greatly reduced.

Like an eel, I dodged left and right under the attacks of the phantom beasts, quickly approaching the mysterious crystal.

Blood Fiend, that bastard, also realized something was wrong. He panicked and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Stop her! Stop her now!"

His men, like they'd been injected with adrenaline, charged at me with howls.

"Get out of my way!" I roared, and with a swing of my sword, the sword energy surged, knocking several henchmen to the ground.

I don’t have time to get entangled with them. I only have one goal—that crystal!

Close, closer!

I could even feel the powerful energy emanating from the crystal, an energy that was both thrilling and exciting!

I used all my strength to thrust the longsword into the crystal.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the crystal shattered!

At the same time, the Phantom Beast let out a shrill scream, and its massive body rapidly shrank like a deflated balloon.

"It's done!" I was overjoyed and almost jumped for joy.

Blood Fiend's face turned deathly pale instantly. He opened his mouth wide, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

"No! Impossible! This is impossible!" he roared hysterically, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

I didn't have time to pay attention to him. I quickly ran to where the phantom beast had fallen, and sure enough, the mysterious door was revealed.

"Treasure! Here we come!" I shouted excitedly.

Zi Ling and Elder Qing Feng were also extremely excited. They limped over, their faces beaming with the joy of surviving a disaster.

We worked together to subdue all of Blood Fiend's men. These guys were so arrogant just now, but now they're all wilted like eggplants after a frost.

Blood Fiend was trapped in the trap I set and could not move.

He glared at me fiercely, his eyes seeming to want to devour me alive.

"Xiao Yao! You will die a horrible death!" he cursed.

"Hehe, I don't know if I'll die well or not, but you definitely won't live much longer." I made a face at him, just to annoy him to death.

We have finally arrived at the entrance to the treasure chamber.

This door looks ancient and heavy, with various mysterious runes carved on it, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.

I took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the door.

"Squeak..."

The door slowly opened, and a dazzling light shone out from inside, so bright that we couldn't open our eyes.

When our eyes adjusted to the light and we could see what was inside, we were all stunned.

My goodness! What a treasure trove this is!

Inside the secret chamber, all sorts of rare and precious treasures were piled up, glittering with golden light and exuding a powerful spiritual energy.

All sorts of rare and precious medicinal herbs, spirit stones, magical artifacts, and cultivation techniques are available, making it a dazzling array.

"We're rich! We're rich!" Zi Ling was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently, and tears were almost streaming down her face.

Elder Qingfeng was also trembling with excitement. He said in a shaky voice, "I...I've never seen so many treasures in my entire life..."

Of course I was very excited, but what I felt most was an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

We succeeded!

We defeated the powerful Phantom Beast, subdued the evil Blood Fiend, and found the legendary treasure!

Just as we were basking in joy, a chilling voice suddenly came from the doorway:

"Hehe, congratulations everyone, you've found the treasure."

We turned around abruptly and saw a man standing at the door. He was wearing a black robe and a strange mask, so we couldn't see his face.

It’s Mo Yuan!

Behind him followed a group of men in black, each exuding a powerful aura, clearly not to be trifled with.

Mo Yuan! How could he be here?

My heart sank and an ominous premonition came over me.

"Who are you?" I asked warily.

Mo Yuan didn't answer my question. He just smiled slyly and said, "Treasure is for everyone who finds it. Gentlemen, why don't we share it together?"

His voice was like a venomous snake's hiss, sending chills down one's spine.

Share? Nobody would believe you!

I sneered and said, "Mo Yuan, do you think we'd believe you?"

Mo Yuan shrugged and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you, but it seems you don't have a choice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the men in black behind him drew their weapons and surrounded us.

A somber atmosphere filled the secret room.

A new crisis is on the horizon.

I gripped the longsword tightly, my eyes resolute.

Come on, Mo Yuan, let me see what you're really capable of!

No matter what, I will absolutely not let you succeed!

These treasures belong to us!

Nobody can take it away!

I, Xiao Yao, am not someone to be trifled with!

My gaze sharpened, like two drawn swords pointing directly at Mo Yuan.

A new storm is coming, and I will face it head-on!
