Chapter 277 Counterattack
The next moment, Mo Ming concentrated all his spiritual power and spiritual fire on his left arm. His entire arm was completely enveloped in flames, like a blazing sun in fire, bursting out with terrifying pressure.
The area around him was visibly turning into scorched earth, and even the flames in the air gathered on him as if fueled by a raging wind.
"Titan Sky Cannon".
The four words were low and cold, and Li Chengtian's pupils suddenly contracted. He had no idea that Mo Ming would possess such a move!
Moreover, with the flames blocking his view, he didn't know which direction the attack would come from.
"Damn it! They hid it so well!"
Li Chengtian roared, increasing the circulation of his spiritual energy and forcibly squeezing out his remaining strength. At the same time, he retreated rapidly, trying to escape this fiery inferno.
But it was too late.
Mo Ming's left arm shone brightly in the blinding flames, and suddenly a fire energy cannon condensed. He thrust his hand straight out in the direction of Li Chengtian.
At that moment, the towering flames transformed into a thick beam of fire, crashing down with a destructive force.
Wherever the pillar of fire passed, the surrounding air was completely burned away, vegetation turned to ashes, and the earth cracked into scorched ravines.
Li Chengtian used all his spiritual power to defend himself. The shield that was originally a Radiant Orange-level expert was actually very vulnerable in the face of this attack. It lasted for less than a second before being directly broken by the flames.
He let out a low growl and desperately tried to dodge, but the poison, the depletion of his spiritual power, and the fear of the Titan Cannon all slowed his reaction time.
The pillar of fire struck Li Chengtian directly!
"what--!"
Li Chengtian let out a shrill scream as he was engulfed in flames, his body instantly vaporizing.
Even a master of the Radiant Orange level, with insufficient spiritual power and suppressed by poison, would perish in the face of this attack.
As the light gradually faded, Mo Ming slowly lowered his left arm, which was still wreathed in embers, and took a deep breath.
On the ground, apart from the charred crater, Li Chengtian's figure could no longer be seen.
As the smoke and dust cleared and a strong wind blew, a spatial ring lay quietly at the very edge of the scorched pit.
Mo Ming forced himself to sit up, looked at the ring, and a tired yet cold smile appeared on his lips.
"So what if it's orange-colored?"
He muttered to himself, "I told you, I only need one chance."
The fire was still raging fiercely in front of him. Mo Ming picked up the spatial ring, glanced at it indifferently, held it firmly in his hand, and then quickly left the burning forest, his figure gradually disappearing into the depths of the sea of fire.
......
As dawn broke, the morning light shone on the lake, creating shimmering waves that resembled countless pieces of gold leaping across the surface.
Liang Dongshan and Sun Miaoke stood by the lake, gazing at the vast expanse of water before them, feeling both excited and apprehensive.
The lake is surrounded by dense forests, and the occasional bird calls create a tranquil and mysterious atmosphere.
"This is it."
"I'm talking in a low voice," Sun Miaoke said, clutching the treasure map, now soaked with sweat, tightly in his hand. His gaze swept across the lake, trying to find the exact location marked on the map.
Liang Dongshan squatted down, cupped a handful of lake water in her hands, and the cool touch invigorated her.
"This lake looks very deep. Could there be any clues on the treasure map?" he asked, looking up with anticipation in his eyes.
Sun Miaoke unfolded the map and carefully examined the markings on it. In the center of the map was a lake, with a small red dot in the middle of the lake and a few blurry words written next to it: "Shadow of Sunrise".
"The Shadow of Sunrise..."
Liang Dongshan murmured to himself, looking up at the lake. At that moment, the sun had just risen, and golden rays pierced through the thin mist, sprinkling onto the lake.
His gaze followed the direction of the sunlight and he suddenly noticed a protruding rock in the middle of the lake, the shadow of which pointed to a secluded corner on the lakeshore.
"Miao Ke, look over there!" Liang Dongshan excitedly pointed in the direction where the shadow of the rock stretched.
Sun Miaoke followed his finger and noticed a patch of ground in the grass by the lake that appeared to be a different color from the surrounding area.
The two exchanged a glance, immediately understanding what was happening, and quickly walked over.
After parting the grass, they discovered a stone slab on the ground with ancient symbols carved on it. Liang Dongshan crouched down and gently touched the symbols, as if they were hints at some kind of mechanism.
“This might be the entrance,” Sun Miaoke said in a low voice, her tone tinged with nervousness.
Liang Dongshan nodded, took a deep breath, and pressed down on the grooves on the stone slab in the order of the symbols on the treasure map.
As the last groove was pressed down, the stone slab emitted a low rumble and slowly sank down, revealing a deep, dark opening.
A cool breeze wafted from the cave entrance, carrying a faint, damp scent. The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with both excitement and a hint of unease.
"Let's go." Liang Dongshan gripped the illuminating stone in his hand and stepped into the cave first.
Sun Miaoke followed closely behind, her heart pounding, as if she could hear her blood rushing in her ears.
The cave was dimly lit, and the walls were covered with moss and ancient carvings.
As they ventured deeper, they could faintly hear the sound of flowing water ahead, and there seemed to be an underground lake at the end of the cave.
In the center of the lake, a stone platform can be vaguely seen, and something seems to be placed on the platform, emitting a faint light.
"That's the treasure!" Sun Miaoke exclaimed excitedly in a low voice.
However, just as they were about to approach, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave, as if something had been awakened.
"Oops!"
……
Mo Ming emerged from the sea of fire, his body charred black, his clothes torn, and his face covered in soot and sweat.
His chest heaved violently, his breathing rapid, but his eyes remained firm, showing no sign of stopping to rest.
He continued his journey without stopping, despite being exhausted, because he had to make sure that there were no other tails besides Li Chengtian.
In his current state, he would be powerless against another Radiant Orange-level opponent.
As time passed, Mo Ming finally passed through the forest, and suddenly a lake came into view.
Mo Minglai stood by the lake, took a deep breath, and the fresh air filled his lungs, dispelling the fatigue of his journey.
He looked down at his scarred hands, then looked up at the center of the lake, a complex emotion in his eyes.
"This place..."
For some reason, Mo Ming felt that something was wrong here, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Forget it, let's find a safe place first and see what surprise Li Chengtian has in store for me!"
The thought of opening the blind box containing the space ring of a Radiant Orange-tier Survivor makes all my fatigue disappear, and my heart is filled with anticipation!
Arriving behind a large rock by the lake, Mo Ming took out Li Chengtian's rather ancient-looking spatial ring and began to examine it.
"Holy crap! Is this old guy a bandit?"
