Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 222 Stone Gate Groove

A faint but hopeful spark rekindled deep within her previously dull eyes.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her spiritual energy, which had become chaotic due to excessive tension.

Then, with unwavering determination, he fixed his gaze on the battlefield engulfed in flames, his mind made up—he would personally throw himself into this extremely dangerous and fierce battle!

Her fair and slender hands moved swiftly like butterflies flitting among flowers, forming intricate and obscure hand seals in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, she parted her cherry lips slightly and chanted ancient and mysterious incantations in a deep and solemn voice.

As she chanted with intonation, an incomparably powerful force began to gather around her.

Suddenly, a dazzling, blinding light burst forth from her palm.

Like a dazzling meteor tearing through the dark night, it hurtled straight toward the raging, roaring beast with overwhelming force.

The unsuspecting behemoth was caught off guard and suddenly struck by such a fierce and swift attack.

Its entire massive body trembled violently, and its enormous head was knocked dizzy and disoriented.

For a moment, they completely lost their sense of direction and control over the situation.

At this critical moment, the spirit beast, which had been closely monitoring the changes in the battle, displayed extraordinary agility and accurate judgment.

Seizing the opportunity, it suddenly exerted its strength and leaped up like lightning, landing steadily on the broad and solid back of the giant beast with lightning speed.

Immediately afterwards, the spirit beast opened its blood-red maw, filled with sharp fangs, without hesitation, and used all its strength to bite down hard on the giant beast's vital parts.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the giant beast let out a bloodcurdling scream...

The enormous, ferocious beast, writhing in pain, roared to the heavens with a deafening roar that echoed through the sky.

The roar was like a thunderclap, making the surrounding trees tremble.

Then, the behemoth began to thrash its enormous body wildly, as if it wanted to turn the whole world upside down.

It tried its best to shake off the spirit beast that was clinging tightly to its back.

However, the tenacious spirit beast remained firmly embedded in the giant beast's back like a nail. No matter how violently the giant beast struggled, it clenched its teeth and refused to let go.

Just then, Huan Yuechu, standing not far away, stared intently at the giant beast's every move, like two torches burning brightly.

She observed the giant beast intently, not missing a single detail, secretly plotting how to find its fatal weakness.

Time passed by, and finally, perseverance paid off. After careful observation, Huan Yuechu made a delightful discovery.

Whenever the giant beast is about to launch a ferocious attack, its normally fierce and brutal eyes will close for an extremely brief period of time.

Although it was only fleeting, it was a moment of glory for Huan Yuechu, who was a seasoned and experienced warrior.

This subtle flaw undoubtedly became the key breakthrough in defeating the behemoth.

Without the slightest hesitation, Huan Yuechu made a decisive move and quickly mobilized all the spiritual power in her body.

This spiritual energy, like a surging tide, flowed continuously from every corner of her body to her palms.

In an instant, an extremely strong energy fluctuation spread outwards from the center of Huan Yuechu's palm.

Feeling the powerful force gathering in her palm, Huan Yuechu took a deep breath and then took a step forward.

At the same time, he swung his arm, concentrating all his strength into one point, and blasted towards the giant beast's eye with all his might!

At that very moment, Huan Yuechu's all-out attack flew like lightning, striking the giant beast's vital spot with unerring accuracy!

A loud bang was heard, as if the entire cave trembled.

The colossal beast could no longer support its own weight and collapsed to the ground with a crash, raising a cloud of dust.

As it fell to the ground, its body quickly turned into wisps of black smoke, gradually dissipating into the air until it disappeared completely.

After successfully eliminating the enormous threat before him, Huan Yuechu let out a long sigh of relief.

She adjusted her slightly disordered breathing.

Then she resolutely turned around and continued deeper into the cave to explore the secret hidden in the pendant that had been troubling her.

Although she had just defeated such a ferocious beast, Huan Yuechu knew very well that more unknown difficulties and severe tests awaited her next.

However, faced with these difficulties, she had already made up her mind not to back down even a step, and was determined to uncover all the mysteries behind them.

Huan Yuechu carefully walked step by step into the depths of the cave. The further she went, the colder and more damp the surrounding air became.

The biting cold and uncomfortable dampness kept assaulting her skin, causing her to shiver involuntarily.

Even so, she continued to walk forward resolutely, without the slightest hesitation or pause.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, finally, a tall and heavy stone gate appeared in her sight, blocking her way.

This stone gate looks ancient and mysterious, covered with all sorts of intricate and difficult-to-decipher runes and patterns.

A powerful restrictive force emanated continuously from those runes, as if warning anyone who tried to approach not to act rashly.

Huan Yuechu stopped and stared at the stone gate in front of her, which was full of mysterious power.

She took a deep breath, gathered her spiritual power in her palm, and then pushed it forcefully against the stone door, trying to break the restriction with her own spiritual power.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the restrictive force remained unbreakable.

Her spiritual attack was like a stone sinking into the sea, causing no reaction whatsoever.

Just as Huan Yuechu felt somewhat helpless, the spirit beast that had been silently observing from the side spoke up.

"In my opinion, we might need to find a special item that corresponds to these runes in order to open this stone door."

After listening to the spirit beast's words, Huan Yuechu felt that they made a lot of sense, so she began to carefully examine the environment around the stone gate, hoping to find some useful clues.

After a careful search, Huan Yuechu indeed made a discovery—in the lower left corner of the stone gate, there was an inconspicuous little groove.

The shape of this groove looks quite peculiar.

Upon seeing the groove, Huan Yuechu suddenly had a thought, and she suddenly remembered the pendant she was carrying.

With a mix of anticipation and trepidation, Huan Yuechu took the pendant out of her bosom and carefully placed it into the groove.
