Chapter 233 An Unexpected Enemy
Within the portal, the atmosphere remained unremarkable, characterized by clear weather that mirrored the initial moments when Long Tian and Liu Qian entered.
Presently, they stood within a dense forest, their gaze directed at an imposing gate that appeared intricately connected to a colossal and towering mountain.
"This seems to be the location of the final boss. Let's proceed inside," declared Long Tian.
In agreement, Liu Qian nodded, and together they advanced toward the formidable gate.
Long Tian extended his hand, making contact with the gate's surface, recognizing its composition as stone. "I believe I can break through this," he asserted.
Infused with determination, he balled his fist, and the tattoo on his right arm ignited with a crimson radiance. In the next moment, he forcefully struck the gate.
Crack!
The resounding crack echoed through the air as the gate splintered wide open, swiftly crumbling to pieces and unveiling a foreboding darkness within.
Without a moment's hesitation, Long Tian and Liu Qian stepped into the darkness, contrasting with the light behind them from the fractured entrance.
Pressing onward, the obscurity persisted, and at a specific juncture, the ground beneath them quivered, disrupting their balance.
Swiftly turning around, they were met with the sight of the entrance, previously shattered, now fully restored, as though untouched by any upheaval.
Liu Qian, responding to the situation, conjured blue flames with a raise of her finger, offering a source of light. "It seems we're genuinely trapped here. Well, we have no choice but to explore this place," she remarked.
"Perhaps, after we confront the final boss, we can find a way out," she added.
With resolute determination, they delved deeper into the enigmatic darkness.
As their journey unfolded, the ground underwent a transformation, transitioning from soil to a rocky floor adorned with intricate carvings.
Remaining vigilant, they proceeded cautiously, anticipating potential threats lurking ahead.
After several minutes, Long Tian abruptly halted, extending his hand to obstruct Liu Qian's path.
Intrigued, Liu Qian was on the verge of making a comment when a sudden vibration interrupted her. This time, it was subtler, lacking the intensity to send them sprawling.
Both became even more attuned to their surroundings, especially Long Tian, whose instincts signaled the approach of an impending threat.
The vibrations persisted, and before long, numerous stone pillars ascended from the engraved floor, their tips ablaze.
The once-shadowed expanse transformed into a spectacle of light, courtesy of the dozens of fiery stone pillars now encircling the area. bender
Standing amidst the expansive stone floor encircled by pillars of fire, Long Tian and Liu Qian faced a space vast enough to rival three football fields. Their expressions reflected caution, wary of potential threats lurking in the illuminated expanse.
Long Tian experienced a sense of dj vu, reminiscent of his encounter with the god of death in the secret realm.
In an unexpected turn, an ancient stone table emerged from the floor, capturing the attention of both Long Tian and Liu Qian. Positioned on the ancient table was an objecta slime!
Liu Qian, raising an eyebrow, remarked, "So, that's the final boss, a slime?" Long Tian, sensing the peculiarity, lowered his guard upon recognizing it as a slime.
"It doesn't look dangerous at all," Liu Qian confidently stated, approaching the seemingly harmless slime.
However, her confident strides came to an abrupt halt when the slime, in a sudden twist, transformed into a humanoid figure. The form was still imperfect, marked by numerous lumps, until a few seconds later, the slime assumed the likeness of Long Tian in a translucent white hue!
The expressions of both Long Tian and Liu Qian mirrored surprise, with Long Tian particularly taken aback by the unexpected cloning of his form.
"What the hell, it changed its form?" he exclaimed in astonishment.
However, his amazement swiftly shifted to disbelief as he witnessed the manifestations of Zeus and Shen Long materializing behind the slime.
"ROAAAARRR!"
The resounding roar of a dragon echoed, and two black dragons, now in a translucent white state, appeared.
The expressions of Long Tian and Liu Qian shifted to seriousness. The slime not only altered Long Tian's form but also replicated his powers!
"That doesn't look easy at all," Long Tian said earnestly.
In the following moment...
Boom!
The dagger erupted into a colossal blue flame, creating a mushroom-like explosion.
Long Tian was taken aback, not anticipating Liu Qian's precision in her attack.
The vivid blue flame was short-lived, and a few seconds later, it dissipated entirely, revealing no trace of the slime or Long Tian's form.
Long Tian, witnessing this, let out a sigh of relief. "I think it's dead," he said, glancing to the side where Liu Qian approached him.
Standing beside Long Tian, Liu Qian promptly healed him with her phoenix fire, gradually mending his wounds.
Liu Qian couldn't hide her smile. "How about my abilities? Even though I'm slower, I don't miss any opportunity," she said, her tone tinged with pride.
Long Tian simply returned the smile and playfully ruffled Liu Qian's hair. "Yeah, your final attack felt like plot armor," he remarked.
Liu Qian looked genuinely pleased, praised by the man she loved, stirring a unique feeling within her.
The two of them became immersed in their intimacy, and without realizing it, the slime reappeared. This time, it took on a slimy form, no longer resembling a human shape.
Long Tian and Liu Qian noticed this and swiftly directed their gaze toward the slime.
Before they could react, the slime shot towards Liu Qian.
Instinctively, Liu Qian caught the slime.
Rather than attacking, the slime clung to her hand.
"What's happening?" she said, puzzled.
Long Tian was also perplexed. He clearly felt no threat from the slime, unlike before.
Suddenly, he realized something. "Qian'er, do you feel anything?" he asked earnestly.
"What do you mean?" Liu Qian asked in return, her eyebrows raised in confusion.
"I mean, about that slime. My instincts tell me it chose you, maybe because you were the one who defeated it," Long Tian responded, rubbing his chin.
Liu Qian also rubbed her chin while looking at the slime still clinging to her hand.
"Let me try something," she said.
With that, she squeezed the slime tightly. The slime seemed to evaporate into a soft white smoke.
The slime completely disappeared, but beside it, a translucent white form of Long Tian emerged!
Both Long Tian and Liu Qian were taken aback.
"That's... It seems I don't need to worry about you from now on," Long Tian said.
Liu Qian was also speechless, not expecting to get a clone of Long Tian.
But the clone didn't last long and immediately evaporated back into smoke.
"Where did it go?" Long Tian asked.
"I don't know. But I feel like it entered into my body. Maybe from now on, I can summon it, but it also seems to depend on strength and energy," Liu Qian responded.
Long Tian nodded, then smiled and tousled Liu Qian's hair. "Good thing the slime chose you. I won't worry if you're in danger," he said.
"But I prefer you worrying about me," Liu Qian responded, her smile teasing as she hugged Long Tian.
"Well, I might worry if you choose to be with another man during the Yuan Dynasty," Long Tian responded with a smirk.
"That will never happen. Forever, it's only you in my heart, Long Tian," Liu Qian said, her smile persisted.
Hearing this, Long Tian couldn't hide his smile and immediately kissed Liu Qian.
Liu Qian also responded by putting her arms around Long Tian's neck.
They both kissed passionately before finally leaving this place.
