Chapter 10 The Uninvited Guest in the Chamber of Secrets
The dangerous aura on the shadow made Wu Ma have to be more cautious.
He originally planned to use the gray mist to directly touch the shadow, which he had done before leaving the secret room.
But at that time, the shadow was relatively gentle. But now, it's a bit... infiltrative. It's like a person's soul has been forcibly pressed onto the piece of paper.
The dancing horse endured the discomfort and continued to approach the shadow.
Then, I faintly heard murmurs that seemed to come from a very far away place——
"Gaya...Gaya..."
"Is this...a spell?"
Wu Ma tried to repeat this rant, "Gaya...Gaya..."
The shadow didn't respond.
So, could it be a secret code?
In the following period, Wu Ma tried many methods to gain something without coming into contact with the phantom, but failed in the end.
After being slightly disappointed, Dancing Horse still reached the final step - touching the shadow with the gray snake.
To be honest, Dancing Horse is a little resistant and a little scared.
He was worried that the shadow would swallow the gray snake or even himself.
For this reason, Wu Ma endured the pain and pulled off a small piece of gray mist from the tail of the gray snake.
Don't worry about how you pulled it.
In short, the dancing horse throws this small part towards the shadow, like a child throwing a stone into the river.
To Dancing Horse's surprise, the shadow's response fit perfectly with the metaphor of throwing stones——
Taking the falling point of the gray fog as the center of the circle, layers of ripples appeared on the surface of the virtual shadow.
Soon, calm was restored.
And that small section of gray mist was unscathed after passing through the scroll.
It’s time for further testing.
The dancing horse gently caressed the snake's tail on the shadow, and felt a faint sadness, like the kind coming from the withered grass leaves in the autumn prairie. There was no dangerous atmosphere at all.
Wu Ma was completely relieved and threw the entire gray snake into the shadow.
The moment he fell into it, the dancing horse's body seemed to have passed through a bolt of lightning, and then he felt a strange wave coming from outside his body.
Dancing Horse felt happy, and drove the gray snake out of the illustrated book, looking around.
The secret room was still dark, quiet, and deserted.
Dancing Horse noticed new changes.
He saw what really bound him—
A chain.
As thin as hair, shiny and transparent.
Previously, when the dancing horse drove the gray snake back to the secret room, he obviously hadn't seen it yet.
I didn't notice it when I was chanting the mantra and dancing just now.
At this moment, it suddenly appeared, proving that the contact between the dancing horse and the shadow had an effect.
Wu Ma clearly sensed a spiritual level of imprisonment originating from the chains.
It has no entity, and perhaps ordinary people can pass it with a wave of their hand.
It is also very powerful, and the creatures imprisoned by it are like their souls being sealed.
Wu Ma didn't quite know how he retained his consciousness in the confinement. It was most likely due to Gray Fog.
The next step to escape is very clear: unlock the chains.
Wu Ma found the small piece of gray mist from the illustrated book and put it on the chain.
For a moment, white smoke rose up from the gray fog and quickly disappeared.
There were also minor flaws on the chain.
The dancing horse looked at the chain and calculated its thickness.
The conclusion drawn is: if all the gray fog is put on the chain, a hole should be opened before all the gray fog turns into white smoke.
This is the life of dancing horses.
As long as the chain is broken, he has full confidence and no one here can stop him.
The dancing horse controls the gray snake's tail to touch the chain.
I felt hot for a moment and smoke started coming from my tail.
The dancing horse almost cried out in pain.
The chain swayed slightly, and the flaw was slightly larger.
Dancing Horse's mental state was a little weaker than before.
"This won't work, I won't last until the end..."
Wu Ma thought for a while and tried to use his mind to condense the gray snake's tail into the shape of a blade.
He raised the blade and slashed hard on the chain. The smoke dispersed, leaving a deeper mark.
"It's better, but it can be better."
The dancing horse outlines the edge of the blade into the shape of a saw, and grinds each tooth into a sharper shape.
"Let's do it in one go!"
He took a deep breath and used the saw to cut through the chain.
In the steaming mist, in the scalding heat, the chain's flaws became more and more obvious.
The dancing horse became even weaker.
Carefully comparing the speed of the defect's expansion and the speed of the gray mist and smoke, Wu Ma felt that he had a 60% chance of cutting the chain.
Although he was in darkness, Wu Ma could clearly hear the footsteps of light and freedom approaching him slowly and firmly.
At this time, the chain trembled slightly, and a suction force seemed to emit from the defect, sucking back the white smoke rising around it.
After a while, with the cutting saw of Dancing Horse, the damage was restored bit by bit.
The dancing horse refused to accept its fate and took up the saw again, cutting hard at the chain.
The white smoke was blowing out like it was on fire, and the burning pain became more intense.
A small gap appeared in the chain again.
As the dancing horse speeds up, the gap gradually widens.
When the gap becomes larger, the white smoke becomes more intense, and the chain starts to repair itself again.
This time Wu Ma decided not to back down.
He held the idea of putting his life on the line to survive, and was determined to fight until the end.
"Pah, pah... pah..."
There were footsteps outside the secret room.
Then, the door opened.
A dazzling light penetrated the crack of the door like a knife...
