Chapter 136 Finding a Solution
Having failed to capture Tao Tao's image, the giant black hand seemed to give up its attack, stubbornly forcing half of its body out of the crack.
The white giant hand in the black hole was the same; half of its body emerged from the black hole and appeared to be a single unit with the black half below, as if they had been split in two.
The key is that this monster is hard to identify. It has no head or legs, only a torso in the middle. It looks like a human or some kind of monster, but its black and white hands are definitely human hands.
Just as Tao Tao was wondering what it was, two hands attacked simultaneously, one above and one below, blocking his escape route.
Whatever it is, let's solve it first.
Tao Tao didn't want to waste time. She was worried about Song Chaofeng's situation and wanted to finish the battle quickly. She summoned her Ice Lightning Sword and attacked the black giant hand first. The black giant hand was covered with crimson patterns, and it was clear that magma was flowing.
Fortunately, the Ice and Lightning Sword is effective against it, so let's deal with that first.
With a hissing sound, blue lightning crackled around the Ice Lightning Sword, which, under Tao Tao's control, hurtled straight toward the giant black hand.
She doesn't use any sword formations; she relies entirely on the power of the Ice and Lightning Sword itself to defend against enemies.
"Clang..." The Ice Thunder Sword struck the giant black hand, but for the first time, it was not pierced. Instead, it made a loud noise, showing how thick its flesh was.
The flowing lava above had already negated most of the power of the Ice Lightning Sword.
Tao Tao originally intended to use the Ice Lightning Sword to suppress the magma above, but unexpectedly she was suppressed instead. She quickly withdrew, took a step back, released Tuan Tuan to hold off the magma, and turned around to stab the white giant hand with her sword.
The giant hand was smooth and delicate, without any lines. She wondered if the flesh was as thick as the hand. When she thrust her sword at it, the white giant hand vanished into thin air and flashed behind her. As it slammed down, white tentacles suddenly grew from its palm and emitted a strange cry.
The cries rose and fell, sometimes sounding like a baby's cry, sometimes like a monster's wail, causing Tao Tao to hesitate for a moment. But in that brief instant, the white tentacles were already close, binding her wrists.
She suddenly snapped to her senses and slashed with her sword, severing the white tentacles. Strangely, even though they were severed, the white tentacles quickly reconnected and wrapped around Tao Tao's legs. She struggled fiercely, but a giant hand slammed down and grabbed her in its palm.
Suddenly, everything went dark, and Tao Tao couldn't see anything. She didn't care about anything else and started slashing wildly with the Ice Lightning Sword, but it couldn't do any damage to the giant hand. However, she could vaguely see her surroundings thanks to the electric current.
She was in a very strange space. She should have been held by a giant hand, but it didn't look like she was in the palm of a hand. Instead, it looked like a cave. The cave was strangely structured, with small black holes everywhere. She didn't know what was inside the holes.
Unsure of what dangers might be involved, Tao Tao first took out a luminous stone to illuminate the surroundings. Sure enough, it was a small black hole, but it was impossible to see what was inside.
Tuantuan was connected to her soul. When she saw that Tuantuan had been captured, she was anxious, but she was busy fighting the black giant hand and could not get away. Tao Tao comforted her and told her to focus on the enemy and that she was fine. After comforting her, she swung her long sword and a sword aura flew out and hit the stone wall, but it did not cause any damage, not even a scratch.
That's really tough. What is this thing?
The situation became increasingly uncertain, and Tao Tao was extremely anxious. Not wanting to sit idly by and wait for death, she simply raised her spiritual sense and focused her spiritual power on the Ice Lightning Sword. Since it couldn't cause any damage, it meant that its power was insufficient, so she decided to put all her power into it.
This time, the lightning on the Ice Lightning Sword became even more agitated, causing the air to ripple. Her eyes darkened, and she drew her sword again. Unexpectedly, tiny white hands suddenly emerged from the black hole, looking so dense that it made one want to vomit.
"The Mysterious Scroll, no wonder you can't figure out the direction."
Suddenly, Si Xiaoxiao's voice came into her mind. She sounded rather gloating, probably because she was very happy to see Tao Tao get the short end of the stick.
"You know?" Tao Tao asked as he used his longsword to slash at the attacking white hand.
Si Xiaoxiao said with some pride, "Of course, there are few treasures in the world that I don't know about. However, this should only be a replica, but it is still quite difficult to deal with. The trouble with the Xuanming Scroll is that it generates all kinds of attacks based on the host's imagination, making it very difficult to overcome."
"Imagination? So you mean that all the opponents I've encountered are actually Alan's imagination? If they're imagination, then they shouldn't be real."
"You're wrong. Although it's just a figment of your imagination, it's real here. If you're unlucky enough to be killed by it, you'll really die."
"Then how should we deal with it?"
Tao Tao was at a loss. She had never seen this thing before and was trapped as soon as she arrived, without even a chance to react. She couldn't just wait until Alan was exhausted. Judging from the current offensive, it might not be Alan who was exhausted first, but herself.
"It's not that there's no way, but why should I help you? You have to give me something in return." Tao Tao was speechless that Si Xiaoxiao would actually negotiate with him at this time.
Having no other choice, Tao Tao could only ask, "What do you want?"
"This Xuanming Scroll is not genuine, but it is still worth collecting. I want it."
"Huh? I'm trapped inside, how can I help you get it?" Tao Tao's little face scrunched up, and she chopped off a small white hand with her backhand.
These hands are exactly the same as the tentacles we just saw. Simply cutting them off is useless; they will reconnect. In the blink of an eye, Tao Tao is surrounded by hands, which is quite unsettling.
"That's precisely because it's inside that it's easier to get your hands on it. So, tell me if you're willing or not."
"Yes, tell me what to do."
Tao Tao didn't want to drag this out any longer; since Si Xiaoxiao had brought it up, she must have a solution.
"Of course, we need to find the core of the Xuanming Scroll. Don't be fooled by its fierce attack; its core is actually very fragile. Once we find it, we can easily subdue it."
"Alan?"
"That's it."
"Do you even need to tell me?"
As she spoke, Tao Tao slashed down ten hands with a single sword strike, her tone chilling. She had known she had to do this all along, but the problem was that she couldn't get rid of these monsters and couldn't find Alan anywhere.
Suddenly, Si Xiaoxiao darted out of the pet pouch and landed beside Tao Tao. With a slightly serious expression, she said, "What I mean is that I can find her, but it will take time. The attacks here are fierce, but they won't kill you. However, if you can't withstand the next wave, we will all die here."
