Chapter 205: Breaking through the Formation: Dawn of Hope

Dai Shiya stood at the entrance of the underground castle. The giant iron gate in front of her was like a huge mouth of the abyss, as if it was going to swallow everything.

Outside the castle was a barren wasteland with no grass growing. The air was filled with the smell of decay. The cold wind penetrated her clothes, bringing a piercing chill.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her pounding heart.

This trip was extremely dangerous, but she had to do it.

For her family, for her friends, and for herself, she had to burn her boats and completely eradicate the mastermind behind the scenes.

Dai Shiya tightened the weapon in her hand, her eyes were firm, and she stepped into the castle resolutely.

The inside of the castle was even more gloomy and terrifying than the outside.

The dark corridor had no end in sight, and only the flickering torches on the wall barely provided some light.

The air was filled with dampness and mold, and the uneven stone slabs under her feet made a hollow echo with every step, which was particularly harsh in the silent corridor.

Dai Shiya moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution.

The terrain inside the castle was intricate, like a huge maze, and she soon lost her way.

The surrounding walls seemed to be constantly approaching her, and the sense of oppression became stronger and stronger. The

walls were carved with various strange patterns, which looked particularly strange in the dim light, as if they would come alive and devour her at any time.

Dai Shiya felt difficulty breathing, and her heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Fear surged into her heart like a tide, almost drowning her.

She gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down.

She couldn't give up, she had to find the hiding place of the mastermind behind the scenes and destroy his conspiracy.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The sound of water dripping on the ground was particularly clear in the silent corridor, knocking on Dai Shiya's nerves one by one.

She turned back suddenly, but saw only an empty corridor and swaying firelight.

Is it an illusion?

Dai Shiya couldn't help but doubt her judgment.

At this moment, the stone slab under her feet suddenly collapsed...

"Ah!" Dai Shiya screamed, and her body fell rapidly...

"Shiya!" A familiar voice sounded in the darkness...

Dai Shiya fell into darkness, and the weightlessness of falling made her dizzy.

The rapid wind whistled in her ears, and she instinctively protected her head and prepared for the impact.

The expected severe pain did not come, but she fell into a soft embrace.

"Shiya, are you okay?" The familiar voice was worried, it was her husband.

Dai Shiya opened her eyes and saw her husband's anxious face, and her heart was finally relieved.

"I'm fine." She shook her head and looked around in the weak light.

This is a hidden secret room, and the walls around are engraved with ancient runes, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

"What's going on?" Dai Shiya asked in confusion.

Her husband helped her stand up and explained, "I have been protecting you in secret. This secret room is one of the mechanisms of the castle and the best place for us to fight back." It turned out that her husband had anticipated the trap of the castle and found this secret room in advance. He also set up a mechanism at the entrance. Once someone fell, the mechanism would be triggered and the person would be sent here.

Dai Shiya breathed a sigh of relief and a warm current surged in her heart.

Her husband's carefulness and thoroughness made her feel at ease.

"It seems that we have been exposed." Dai Shiya looked around with a solemn tone.

Her husband nodded and said in a deep voice, "The enemy will find this place soon. We must be prepared." After speaking, he took out the weapon that had been prepared in the corner of the secret room and handed Dai Shiya a sharp dagger.

Dai Shiya took the dagger with a firm look in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, held the dagger tightly in her hand, and felt the cold touch of the metal.

"Bang!" A loud noise broke the tranquility of the secret room.

The enemy discovered their traces and began to attack the door of the secret room fiercely.

The heavy impact sound came again and again, as if to smash the door.

Dai Shiya and her husband exchanged glances and prepared for battle.

The gate collapsed, and a group of men in black swarmed in and surrounded them.

Dai Shiya's eyes were sharp, and the dagger in her hand flashed coldly.

"It seems that the good show has just begun." Dai Shiya showed a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and her figure flashed, and she took the lead in attacking.

She was as fast as lightning, and every attack was extremely accurate, catching the enemy off guard.

Her husband followed closely behind, cooperating tacitly, and the two were like two ferocious cheetahs, moving freely among the enemies.

Although the enemy was numerous, they were defeated under the joint attack of Dai Shiya and her husband, and wailing continued.

The battle became more and more intense, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Dai Shiya's eyes were sharp, and the dagger in her hand was like the sickle of the god of death, reaping the lives of the enemies.

"Be careful!" The husband suddenly shouted and pushed Dai Shiya away.

A poisonous arrow flew past Dai Shiya's cheek and nailed to the wall behind her.

Dai Shiya was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. She looked at her husband gratefully.

Her husband's face was solemn, and he whispered, "They are well prepared..." Before he finished speaking, a sharp bell suddenly rang, echoing throughout the castle...

"Not good..." Dai Shiya's face changed suddenly, "This is..."

Dai Shiya used the environmental factors in the castle to set traps to counterattack the enemy, and the enemies fell into the trap one after another.

She used the mechanisms on the four walls of the secret room to activate mechanisms such as poisonous fog and rolling stones, causing the enemy to fall into chaos.

The poisonous fog filled the darkness like a ghost, and the pungent smell suffocated people. The coughs and struggles of the enemies came one after another.

The rolling stones fell from the ceiling, making a deafening sound, hitting the enemy's body, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Dai Shiya and her husband cooperated tacitly, one attracted the enemy's attention, and the other delivered a fatal blow.

Dai Shiya's dagger flashed a cold light in the dim light, and every swing took the enemy's life.

The enemy's screams and groans echoed in the secret room, shaking the walls.

Dai Shiya watched the enemies fall one by one, and a strong sense of accomplishment emerged in her heart.

There was a resolute light in her eyes, and a sneer rose at the corner of her mouth.

These enemies thought they could trap her, but they didn't know that they had already fallen into her trap.

She took a deep breath, calmed her inner excitement, and looked firmly into the depths of the secret room.

She knew that there were countless unknown dangers ahead, but she would not back down.

For her family, for her friends, and for herself, she must find the source of power behind the scenes and completely eradicate him.

"Shiya, let's keep going." Her husband's voice sounded in her ears, full of concern and determination.

Dai Shiya nodded, held his hand, and the two walked forward hand in hand.

A force emerged in her heart, which came from her husband's company, from her friends' encouragement, and from her own firm belief.

She took a deep breath, took firm steps, and continued to walk deeper.

At the end of the secret room, a narrow passage appeared in front of them, and a faint light shone at the end of the passage.

Dai Shiya's eyes were firm, with a sneer on her lips. She held the dagger tightly in her hand and stepped forward.

She had only one thought in her mind: no matter how dangerous the front was, she would put an end to it all.

She thought of the mysterious man and Wei Qing, and this power supported her and made her more determined.

(Stop) [Event]

Warm emotions flowed in Dai Shiya's heart, dispelling some fear.

She thought of the mysterious man's deep and firm eyes, and Wei Qing's calm and trusting smile. They were her strongest backing.

This power was like a flame, burning in her chest, making her more determined.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the walls around her seemed to be roaring in a low voice, but none of this could shake her determination to move forward.

She took a deep breath and clenched the dagger in her hand again. The cold touch made her nerves even tighter.

However, just when Dai Shiya thought she was temporarily safe, the wall in front of her suddenly cracked silently, and then a hidden secret door slowly opened.

Behind the door was a bottomless darkness, as if a giant beast had opened its bloody mouth to devour people.

A powerful force surged out of the secret door, bringing a biting chill, like a tide.

The air instantly became sticky, and the oppressive feeling made it difficult for Dai Shiya to breathe.

She felt as if she was in a storm and could be torn to pieces by this force at any time. She

felt a huge sense of crisis enveloping her whole body, and the hairs on her body stood up.

Something seemed to be stirring in the darkness, with a strong murderous intent.

The stone slabs on the ground began to vibrate slightly, and the torches on the wall began to shake violently, making crackling sounds, as if they would go out in the next second.

The air around her became increasingly cold, and the biting cold penetrated into her bones, causing Dai Shiya to shiver involuntarily.

An invisible pressure pressed tightly on Dai Shiya's shoulders, making it difficult for her to breathe.

She stared at the entrance of the darkness, her eyes as sharp as a knife, as if she wanted to see through the scene behind the secret door.

Everything around her became quiet, with only her rapid breathing and the sound of oppression that seemed to come from the depths of hell.

She knew that this power was not ordinary, it was powerful and dangerous, and it was likely to be the final source of power for the mastermind behind the scenes.

Dai Shiya felt her body tense, her muscles like a fully drawn bowstring, ready to fight back at any time.

She exchanged glances with her husband beside her, and both saw the same solemnity in each other's eyes.

She held the dagger in her hand tighter, and the cold touch of the metal seemed to calm her down.

Faced with an unknown crisis, she did not retreat at all, but chose to face the challenge.

Dai Shiya knew that this battle was not only for herself, but also to protect the one she loved.

Her eyes were firm, like the stars in the night, flashing with unyielding light.

She stepped towards the secret door step by step, her steps were steady and firm, as if she was going to crush the darkness.

She wanted to completely crush this power and strangle all conspiracies in the cradle.

At this moment, a low voice came from the depths of the secret door: "You, are finally here..."
