Chapter 109 Was it successful?
With the careful preparation of the old man, everything needed for the ceremony was gradually ready. Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei were both nervous and expectant, as they knew that this was a critical moment that would determine their fate.
Before the ceremony began, the old man once again solemnly reminded them: "This process is full of unknown dangers. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."
Shen Mo looked at the old man firmly: "We are ready."
Lin Yuwei also nodded, her eyes full of determination.
The old man took a deep breath and began to chant an ancient and mysterious spell. As the spell echoed, the light emitted by the fragments of time became stronger and stronger, illuminating the entire room like daylight.
Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei stared at the fragments of time, their heartbeats rapidly.
Suddenly, the light suddenly retracted, forming a strange vortex. A powerful force surged out of it, as if it was going to swallow them up.
"Keep calm!" the old man shouted.
Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei gritted their teeth and tried hard to resist the pull of this force.
However, as the power grew stronger, Shen Mo felt his body gradually becoming out of control, and he involuntarily moved closer to the vortex.
"Shen Mo!" Lin Yuwei anxiously reached out to hold him.
At this moment, some strange phantoms suddenly appeared in the room, including scenes from the past and unknown fragments of the future, which made people dizzy.
"Don't be fooled by these phantoms!" the old man's voice rang out in the chaos.
Lin Yuwei tried hard to keep herself awake, but the phantoms kept flashing, making her feel dizzy.
Shen Mo tried his best to break free from the attraction of the vortex and turned to help Lin Yuwei.
"Close your eyes, Yuwei!" Shen Mo said loudly.
Lin Yuwei obeyed his words and closed her eyes tightly.
Shen Mo pulled her and moved away from the vortex step by step.
Upon seeing this, the old man quickened the speed of his chanting, trying to control the situation.
Just when they thought the situation was getting better, a dark energy burst out from the vortex and instantly filled the entire room.
"Not good!" The old man's face changed drastically.
The dark energy corroded their bodies, causing severe pain.
Shen Mo gritted his teeth and used his body to block most of the energy impact for Lin Yuwei.
"Shen Mo, how are you?" Lin Yuwei asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me, just protect yourself!" Shen Mo shouted.
The old man was sweating profusely at this time, but he still insisted on chanting the spell, trying to turn the situation around.
After a difficult resistance, the dark energy finally began to subside and the vortex gradually shrank.
When everything returned to calm, Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
"Did it succeed?" Lin Yuwei asked weakly.
The old man looked at the dimmed fragment of time in his hand and shook his head: "The ritual failed. The power of the fragment of time is too strong for us to control."
Shen Mo struggled to sit up: "What should I do next?"
The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "Perhaps there is another way, but this requires you to find a legendary magician who is said to have a deep understanding of the power of time."
Lin Yuwei asked: "Where is this magician?"
The old man pulled out a worn map from his bosom: "This marks where he might be, but the journey is long and full of dangers."
Shen Mo took the map: "No matter what, we have to give it a try."
After resting for a while, Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei set out on their journey again.
Following the instructions on the map, they passed through a swamp that was filled with a foul odor and full of hidden traps.
"Watch your step!" Shen Mo reminded Lin Yuwei.
Lin Yuwei was walking cautiously when suddenly a huge crocodile jumped out of the water and pounced towards her.
Shen Mo was quick-witted and stabbed the crocodile with a sword. The crocodile dived into the water after being injured, but did not leave. Instead, it lurked around, waiting for the opportunity to attack again.
"Let's get out of here quickly." Shen Mo said.
They quickened their pace and finally walked out of the swamp.
Then they entered a gloomy forest, which was filled with thick fog and made it difficult to tell the direction.
"This place feels so eerie." Lin Yuwei was a little scared.
Shen Mo comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Just then, a strange laugh was heard from the forest.
"Who is it?" Shen Mo looked around vigilantly.
A figure slowly walked out of the thick fog. It was a witch with a distorted face.
"You have trespassed into my territory," said the witch.
Shen Mo said: "We have no intention of offending you, we are just passing by."
The witch sneered: "Now that you are here, don't even think about leaving."
A new battle is about to begin...
