Abyss Walker

Chapter 373 Howl, Beasts!

The leader beast let out a painful howl, and its massive body collapsed in a violent struggle, shaking the ground.

The surrounding beasts lost their leader and began to fall into chaos. Their once orderly attacks became disorderly, and the fall of their leader was a huge blow to them.

Yun Muhan and You Qiuna did not let this opportunity pass. They pressed their advantage and defeated the remaining beasts one by one.

Their swordsmanship became even more ferocious, each swing filled with power and determination. They knew this was the crucial moment to end the battle.

After the battle, the two stood beside the leader beast's corpse, panting heavily.

Yu Qiuna wiped the sweat from her forehead and said softly, "We did it, but this is just the beginning. Our secrets and power will attract more dangers."

Yun Muhan nodded, his gaze firm: "I know, but we are ready. Whatever the danger, we can face it together."

Yun Muhan and You Qiuna stood on the open grassland, their shadows stretched long in the afterglow of the setting sun.

They knew that although they had just achieved victory, it was only a milestone in their journey, and more challenges and dangers awaited them ahead.

Yu Qiuna gazed into the distance, her voice calm yet firm: "We must be more careful; our strength and secrets could make us a target for certain forces."

Yun Muhan gripped the Dugu Sword tightly, the bloodstains on the blade standing out starkly in the setting sun.

The two began clearing the battlefield, making sure nothing was left behind that could attract further danger.

Their movements were swift and orderly, demonstrating their extensive combat experience and keen awareness of danger.

Once everything was settled, they continued their journey home.

The sun had set, the sky was dyed a deep purple, and the stars began to twinkle in the night sky.

They lit torches, and the firelight guided them in the darkness.

As night falls, the forest appears even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Yun Muhan and You Qiuna remained vigilant, knowing that the forest at night might harbor even more dangers.

But their steps did not falter in the slightest; their beliefs were firm, and their determination unwavering.

As night deepened, they came to a stream, its water shimmering silver in the moonlight.

The two decided to rest here for a while and replenish their energy.

They sat by the stream, listening to the babbling water and feeling the tranquility of nature.

Yun Muhan took out some dry food and water from his bag and handed them to You Qiuna. "We need to conserve our strength; there may be a long way to go ahead."

You Qiuna took the food and nodded.

After a simple meal by the stream, they continued their journey.

As night deepened, the sounds in the forest became richer and more mysterious.

The forest at night seems to awaken another kind of life, with the sounds of various nocturnal animals rising and falling, creating a natural symphony.

The sounds of insects chirping, night birds singing, and distant, faint roars of animals echoed in the darkness, giving one a sense of the forest's vitality and life.

Yun Muhan and You Qiuna followed the direction of the stream, the sound of the water becoming their companion on their journey.

The sound of flowing water was especially clear at night, adding a sense of tranquility and harmony to their journey.

The stream shimmered silver in the moonlight, like a silver ribbon winding through the forest, guiding them forward.

Their steps were steady, and the torchlight cast warm streaks in the darkness.

These lights not only provided them with illumination, but also brought them a touch of warmth and comfort.

In this dark forest, the light of the torches was like a symbol of hope, illuminating their path and the direction in their hearts.

As You Qiuna walked, she kept an eye on her surroundings, her eyes revealing awe of nature and vigilance against the unknown.

She understood that the forest at night was full of unknowns and dangers, and that any carelessness could lead to serious consequences.

You Qiuna's gaze swept through the shadows of the trees and the grass, her ears listening intently for any unusual sounds; her senses were exceptionally sharpened by the night.

Yun Muhan remained vigilant, gripping the Dugu Sword tightly, ready to deal with any potential threats.

Their tacit understanding and trust were demonstrated during this nighttime journey; they knew that only by relying on each other could they safely traverse this mysterious forest.

“The stream might lead us to a better place to rest,” she said softly, a hint of anticipation in her voice.

Yun Muhan nodded, his gaze fixed ahead, the Dugu Sword tightly gripped in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.

His voice was deep and firm, revealing respect for the forest at night and preparedness for potential dangers. "Stay alert, the forest at night is always full of surprises."

Yun Muhan reminded You Qiuna, and at the same time, he was reminding himself, because in this ancient forest, any unknown situation could occur at any moment.

The two continued along the stream, the sound of the water gradually growing louder, as if foreshadowing what lay ahead.

They knew that such a sound usually meant a drop in water level, possibly a small waterfall or pool.

As they approached, the sound of the water grew clearer and louder, like the drumbeats of nature, adding a rhythm to their nighttime journey.

Sure enough, they soon arrived at the foot of a small waterfall.

The waterfall's curtain of water shimmered in the moonlight, like a flowing crystal veil, falling into the pool below and splashing up countless droplets.

Under the moonlight, these splashes of water shimmered like twinkling stars, radiating a captivating glow.

You Qiuna stopped in her tracks, her gaze drawn to the moonlight reflected in the pool.

The surface of the pool was calm and deep, and the moonlight cast soft shadows on the water, making the entire pool seem like a giant mirror, reflecting the beauty of the night sky.

The moonlight reflected in the pool contrasted sharply with the surrounding environment, bringing a sense of tranquility and mystery to this dark forest.

You Qiuna quietly admired the beautiful scene, her eyes sparkling with admiration for nature.

At this moment, even amidst the stress of her journey, she couldn't help but be moved by the beauty of nature.

"This place is so beautiful," she exclaimed.

Yun Muhan stopped as well. He agreed with You Qiuna's opinion and gently took her hand. "We can rest here for a while and recover our strength."

The two decided to linger by the pool. They found a flat rock to sit on and enjoyed the fresh air and tranquil atmosphere brought by the waterfall.

Yun Muhan checked their luggage again to make sure all the necessities were prepared.

You Qiuna quietly observed her surroundings. Her intuition told her that this was a safe place, at least for the time being.

She closed her eyes, took deep breaths, and let her mind and body immerse themselves in the tranquility.

After resting for a while, they continued along the stream.

Their footsteps echoed softly on the stones by the stream, creating a unique melody in the night forest along with the sound of the water.

As time went by, the sky began to lighten, heralding the approach of a new day.

As the eastern horizon gradually brightens, the creatures of the forest begin their new day's activities.

The birds' songs became more cheerful as they flitted among the treetops, welcoming the arrival of dawn.

Yun Muhan and You Qiuna were also invigorated, and they quickened their pace, hoping to go further before dawn.

The morning light shines down on the stream, making it look like it's covered with a layer of golden silk, shimmering in the sunlight.

The two walked briskly along the path by the stream, their shadows stretching long on the ground.

Yun Muhan would occasionally turn back to look at You Qiuna to make sure she could keep up, while You Qiuna would give him a firm look, indicating that she was fine.

"After daybreak, we need to find a place to hide," Yun Muhan said as they walked.

You Qiuna nodded, a hint of worry in her eyes: "That's right, we must be careful. Who knows what those who covet these secrets might do."

The two continued on their way until the sun was fully up, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling their bodies.

The dew in the forest began to evaporate, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees.

The two found a secluded clearing in the woods and decided to rest there and make their next plans.

Yun Muhan took out a map from his bag and spread it on the ground. He and You Qiuna studied the next route together.
