The members of the expedition team nodded in unison, their eyes glowing with determination and courage.
They knew that the actions to follow would determine whether they could truly break the Elder Council’s conspiracy and protect the peace and tranquility of this continent.
Mi Wei nodded slightly, then took a deep breath, as if all her strength had concentrated at the tip of the Trident at this moment.
She swung her arm sharply, and the Trident transformed into a blue lightning bolt, piercing through the sky and straight through the freshly shattered core of the Anchor Point.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering explosion echoed over the Ice Abyss, as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting open.
With the penetration of the Trident, a tremendous amount of energy burst forth from the core of the Anchor Point, instantly melting the surrounding ice into boiling steam. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
The energy then surged out like a runaway wild horse, racing along the seabed’s fissures, heading straight into the deep sea.
"What is that?" Reina exclaimed, pointing at the distant sea, which had suddenly become exceptionally bright.
The members of the expedition team all looked over and saw the sea region where bursts of hot lava surged up, accompanied by deafening roars—a submarine volcano had erupted!
The hot lava rampaged through the cold seawater like an angry fire dragon, consuming everything around it in ferocious flames.
"Is this... a chain reaction?" David furrowed his brow, quickly analyzing the situation, "Shattering the Anchor Point core triggered a geological shift under the sea, leading to the volcano’s eruption. It seems the Elder Council’s arrangements are far more complex than we imagined."
Mi Wei said nothing, merely clenched the Trident tighter, her gaze more determined.
She knew that this was just the beginning; the real challenge lay ahead.
Indeed, with the submarine volcano’s eruption, an even more formidable energy wave emanated from the depths of the Ice Abyss.
This energy wave was entirely different from before, imbued with the Abyss’ darkness and malevolence, as if intending to drag the entire Ice Abyss and even the entire Plane into an endless abyss.
"It’s not good! This is a projection of the Abyss!" David’s face changed dramatically, immediately realizing the source of this energy, "The Elder Council’s Sacrificial Ritual may have drawn the Abyss’ attention; we must stop it immediately!"
However, it was already too late.
As the Abyssal Energy continued to gather, a gigantic black vortex slowly materialized above the Ice Abyss, as if a gap in the Gate of the Abyss had opened, pouring out terror and despair.
The members of the expedition team felt an unprecedented oppression and fear, their bodies seemingly bound by invisible weight, even making breathing exceptionally difficult.
At that moment, three members of the Elder Council suddenly appeared at the edge of the Ice Abyss.
Originally smug smiles on their faces now froze into expressions of terror.
It turned out they attempted to use the Sacrificial Ritual to summon the power of the Abyss to enhance their own strength, but unexpectedly fell victim to the Abyss’ counterattack instead.
They watched as their bodies gradually became transparent, then turned into three clear, pristine crystals, quietly standing at the edge of the Ice Abyss.
Their eyes were filled with despair and reluctance, but everything was already irreversible.
"This is their end." Mi Wei said coldly, "They thought they could control the power of the Abyss, but they didn’t know that the Abyss would only devour everything."
The projection of the Abyss above the Ice Abyss grew clearer, and a powerful suction emanated, trying to pull the members of the expedition team in as well.
Seeing this, David quickly raised the Silver Moon Pendant high, attempting to resist the suction.
However, the power of the Abyss projection was too strong, and the light of the Silver Moon Pendant began to dim, as if it could extinguish at any moment.
David gritted his teeth, pouring all his strength into the pendant.
Just then, a chain of unknown runes suddenly appeared on the pendant’s surface, these runes gleaming brightly, forming a counterforce against the power of the Abyss projection.
"What is this?" Reina asked in surprise.
"I don’t know," David was frowning intently, fully concentrating on controlling the pendant, "but I feel these runes can absorb and transform the energy of the Abyss."
As the rune chain continued to flash, the power of the Abyss projection began to weaken gradually.
The members of the expedition team felt the pressure lift instantly, their breaths becoming much smoother.
They all looked at David, eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.
"David, you did great!" Mi Wei nodded approvingly, "It seems this Silver Moon Pendant is far more mysterious than we imagined."
Under the assault of the pendant’s rune chain, the projection of the Abyss finally could not maintain its form and began to dissipate gradually.
However, just when it was about to disappear completely, a more powerful energy wave suddenly burst from the pendant, rushing skyward!
"What’s going on?" The members of the expedition team watched this scene in astonishment.
They saw the chain of runes on the pendant’s surface become extraordinarily bright, as if coming alive.
The runes wove into a giant net in the air, absorbing all the recently dispersed Abyssal Energy.
Then, these rune chains began to contract slowly, finally gathering into a brilliant light, returning to the pendant.
After absorbing the Abyssal Energy, the pendant became even more dazzling, seemingly containing boundless power.
David, sensing the change in the pendant, couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement and anticipation.
He knew that this pendant might become the key in their fight against the Abyss and in saving the Wilderness.
With the projection of the Abyss completely dissipated, calm returned to the Ice Abyss once more.
But the expedition members knew this was a temporary peace.
The Elder Council’s conspiracy was far from over, requiring their continued efforts to completely eradicate this threat.
"Let’s move," Mi Wei sheathed the Trident, her eyes fixed firmly on the horizon, "More challenges lie ahead of us."
The members of the expedition team nodded, gripping their weapons tightly as they embarked on a new journey.
They knew the road ahead was full of the unknown and danger, but as long as they stood united and pressed forward bravely, they could surely overcome any obstacles and protect the peace and tranquility of this land.
As the expedition team left the Eternal Ice Abyss, their target shifted to the next Anchor Point—at the root of the Ancestor Tree deep within the Elves’ Holy Land.
This ancient Ancestor Tree was not only a symbol of the Elf Race but also crucial for maintaining the ecological balance of the entire forest.
However, when the expedition team arrived, they found an atmosphere heavily laden.
Isabelle stood before the Ancestor Tree, her eyes laden with complex emotions.
As Princess of the Elf Race, she deeply understood the Ancestor Tree’s importance to the Elves and what its destruction would mean.
Therefore, when the expedition team proposed to destroy the Anchor Point at the root of the Ancestor Tree, she refused without hesitation.
"I can’t do that." Isabelle’s voice held a tremor, "The Ancestor Tree is our Source of Life; destroying it would mean the destruction of the entire Elf Race."
Mi Wei understood Isabelle’s feelings, knowing too well that without destroying the Anchor Point, the power of the Abyss would continue to erode this world.
She attempted to persuade Isabelle, but the latter remained resolute.
Just then, David took a small sample of the tree root corroded by the Abyss from his backpack.
This sample had been collected from the Ice Abyss, still carrying traces of the Abyss’ dark aura.
"Isabelle, look at this." David presented the sample to Isabelle, "This is what we found in the Ice Abyss, a root corroded by the Abyss. If the Anchor Point is not destroyed, the Ancestor Tree will face the same fate."
Isabelle looked at the corroded root, her complexion turning pale.
She knew well the horror of the Abyss and understood the disastrous consequences once the Ancestor Tree was eroded.
But she still could not bring herself to decide to destroy the Ancestor Tree.
At this time, an elder Elf slowly approached them.
His gaze was profound and wise, as if he could see through all illusions.
