Chapter 204 Peak Battle: Secret Revealed

The light of the torch flickered in the narrow passage, illuminating the damp stone walls and the uneven ground.

Dai Shiya took a deep breath and stepped into the cave first, followed by her husband, and Wei Qing.

The passage became narrower and narrower as she went down, and the air became more and more damp and cold, with a pungent smell of mold.

The surrounding stone walls were engraved with strange symbols, which seemed to come alive under the flickering firelight, twisting and squirming.

Dai Shiya felt a strange power fluctuating around her, passing through her body like an electric current, making her hair stand on end.

She couldn't help but speed up her pace, and an inexplicable sense of fear spread in her heart.

She felt that there was a huge secret hidden deep in the cave, and this secret might be the answer to all the mysteries she had encountered since she entered the book.

After going deeper into the cave, the air became heavier and more oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

Dai Shiya felt dizzy and her body seemed to be squeezed by an invisible force. The severe pain made it almost impossible for her to stand.

She gritted her teeth, endured the discomfort, and continued to move forward.

Suddenly, a powerful force attacked from the front and knocked her out fiercely.

She fell heavily to the ground, the torch slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground, the fire went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness in an instant.

"Shiya!" Her husband exclaimed and rushed to her side, "How are you?"

Dai Shiya struggled to sit up, feeling as if all the bones in her body were falling apart, and the pain was unbearable.

She shook her head and wanted to speak, but found that her throat was dry and she couldn't make any sound.

"Let's... go back..." Wei Qing's voice trembled with a hint of fear, "This place... is too scary..."

Dai Shiya took a deep breath and tried to calm her violently beating heart.

She knew that she couldn't give up, she had to find the truth.

She fumbled to pick up the torch on the ground and lit it again.

The weak firelight illuminated her pale face, and her

"No," she said in a hoarse voice, "We must keep going."

Just then, she felt the ground under her feet shaking slightly, and a low roar came from the depths of the cave, as if something huge was waking up...

"What's that sound?" Wei Qing asked in horror.

Dai Shiya did not answer, but just held the torch tightly, staring at the depths of the cave, with a complex light flashing in her eyes...

The roar was getting closer and closer, and accompanied by the violent shaking of the ground, a dazzling light appeared in the depths of the cave.

Dai Shiya squinted her eyes, endured the discomfort brought by the light, and tried to see the things at the light source clearly.

I saw a huge crystal ball suspended in the air, emitting a soft light, illuminating the entire cave.

The surface of the crystal ball was shining, as if it contained infinite power.

Dai Shiya's heart moved, and her intuition told her that this was the key information she had been looking for.

She took a deep breath, and under great pressure, she walked towards the crystal ball step by step.

With every step, she felt the pressure on her body doubled, but she did not hesitate at all, and her eyes flashed with determination.

Finally, she came to the crystal ball and reached out to touch it gently.

The moment her fingertips touched the crystal ball, a powerful energy surged into her body, and she felt as if her body was about to explode.

Countless images flashed through her mind. She saw the tragic life of the original owner, the insidiousness of the mastermind behind the scenes, and also saw every bit of her experience since she entered the book.

A warm current surged from the bottom of her heart. She understood that the meaning of her entering the book was not only to change the fate of the original owner, but also to reveal the truth and protect the people she cared about.

She slowly closed her eyes, feeling this powerful energy and integrating it into her body.

When she opened her eyes again, she succeeded. She found the key information and she could finally fight back!

She took the crystal ball and turned to leave the cave.

Her husband and Wei Qing had been waiting outside. When they saw the crystal ball in her hand, they showed surprise on their faces.

"Let's go!" Dai Shiya said firmly, with an irresistible force.

The three of them quickly left the cave and went to the hiding place of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The mastermind behind the scenes was an old man with a pale face and sinister eyes.

He sat on a high throne, looking at Dai Shiya and others, with a sneer on his lips.

"You are finally here."

Dai Shiya did not speak, but just raised the crystal ball in her hand.

The crystal ball emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall and the frightened face of the old man.

"You...how did you get this thing?!"

Dai Shiya sneered, "You didn't expect it?"

Two powerful forces collided in the air, making a deafening roar.

The whole hall was shaking, as if it would collapse in the next moment.

Dai Shiya's eyes were cold, and the light of the crystal ball in her hand became brighter and brighter, as if it was going to swallow everything up.

"It's over..." She spoke slowly.

The light of the crystal ball became more and more dazzling, like a small sun, illuminating the entire hall like daylight.

The old man's face was even more terrified. He roared and tried to mobilize his strength to resist, but found that the energy in his body was like a flood that broke through the dam, uncontrollably rushing towards the crystal ball.

He felt weak, as if his body was hollowed out, and his once powerful strength was rapidly draining away.

Dai Shiya's eyes were firm, and she held the crystal ball firmly.

She could feel the huge energy contained in the crystal ball, and the power that the old man was being quickly deprived of.

She had no mercy at all. This old man had done many evil things, and everything he had now was his own fault.

As time went by, the old man's body became weaker and weaker, and his originally straight back became hunched.

The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, replaced by deep despair.

He struggled and roared, but was powerless to change all this.

Finally, the light of the crystal ball reached its peak, and the old man let out a shrill scream, his body trembled violently, and then fell heavily to the ground, motionless.

The light of the crystal ball also gradually dimmed, and finally returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Dai Shiya slowly put down the crystal ball and breathed a sigh of relief.

She won, she finally defeated the mastermind behind the scenes and protected her family and friends.

Outside the hall, Dai Shiya's husband and Wei Qing were waiting anxiously.

Suddenly, the door opened and Dai Shiya came out with a triumphant smile on her face.

"It's over," she whispered.

Her husband and Wei Qing rushed forward excitedly and hugged Dai Shiya tightly. The three of them hugged and cried.

The joy of surviving the disaster and the deep friendship between them were perfectly interpreted at this moment.

The warm sunlight poured into the hall through the window and shone on the three people, as if they were coated with a layer of golden light.

The air was filled with a warm atmosphere, and everything seemed so beautiful.

Suddenly, the crystal ball in Dai Shiya's hand vibrated slightly and emitted a faint fluorescence.

She looked down at the crystal ball, and a strange feeling surged in her heart.

"This..." She murmured to herself, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "It seems... something is coming out..."

The light of the crystal ball gradually softened, beating one by one as if breathing.

Dai Shiya could feel a warm energy passing from her fingertips to her whole body, and the original fatigue was swept away, replaced by an indescribable clarity.

She felt that her soul had some kind of connection with the crystal ball, and countless images and information flooded into her mind like a tide.

She saw an ancient laboratory, with various sophisticated instruments flashing with a cold luster; she saw a group of scientists in white coats, with crazy faces and fanatical eyes, who seemed to be conducting some horrific experiments; she saw a book, a book emitting a strange light, and this book was exactly the same as the one she saw when she first came through.

She finally understood the truth of all this - she did not accidentally cross the book, but was the chosen one.

That book is the medium connecting the real world and this parallel world.

And it was those crazy scientists who created all this.

They tried to create a more powerful existence through continuous experiments, and she was just a chess piece in their experiment.

Everything was revealed.

She finally understood why she came to this world and why she experienced all this.

The seemingly absurd experience of crossing the book was actually a carefully planned conspiracy.

She was both a chess piece and a breaker. She had to keep getting stronger to get rid of the shackles of fate.

Dai Shiya gently stroked the crystal ball in her hand, and the warm touch from her fingertips seemed to soothe her turbulent mood.

She looked up at her husband and Wei Qing beside her. The joy and worry on their faces intertwined, which made her heart surge with warmth.

She reached out and gently held her husband's hand, feeling the warmth in his palm.

She knew that she was not fighting alone. She had a lover, friends, and people she could rely on. She

smiled slightly, her smile was full of confidence and strength, and also a hint of relief for surviving the disaster.

"I understand." Dai Shiya said softly, her voice full of satisfaction and emotion.

She looked around the hall full of sunshine, feeling the familiar temperature around her, knowing that it was not easy to come by. She cast

her eyes into the distance, with a firm light flashing in her eyes.

She turned around and gently stroked the crystal ball in her hand. The moment her fingertips touched the surface of the crystal ball, the crystal ball vibrated violently, making a harsh buzzing sound, as if responding to something.

Before Dai Shiya could react, blue rays of light shot out from the crystal ball, interweaving into a strange pattern in midair.

"This is..." Wei Qing covered her mouth in surprise.

The pattern flashed with a strange light, and an inexplicable force emanated from it, and the air around them became stagnant.

Dai Shiya, her husband, and Wei Qing all felt an invisible pressure that made them breathless.

At this moment, the blue light suddenly gathered into a vortex, and in the center of the vortex, a black shadow slowly appeared...

Dai Shiya looked at the black shadow in front of her, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she subconsciously took a step back, muttering to herself: "Who?"
