A Western Kid’s Journey into the Eastern Cultivation World

Chapter 161: Chapter 160 The Mysterious Island



After leaving the Crystal Caverns, Elara, Lyra, and Nox began to look for the next shard. According to the ancient records, the next shard was likely to be on a mysterious island in the ocean.

They used a teleportation spell to reach the vicinity of the island. From a distance, the island was surrounded by a layer of hazy mist, and the top of the island was covered with dense forests. The trees on the island were extremely tall, and their branches and leaves were intertwined, looking very mysterious.

As they stepped onto the island, they immediately felt a strange energy. The air on the island was filled with a faint fragrance, which made people feel a little dizzy.

"Be careful, this fragrance may be a kind of magic - induced hallucinogen," Nox warned. He took out a small bottle from his pocket and sprinkled some powder around them. The powder dispersed in the air, and the dizzying feeling was slightly relieved.

They walked along a narrow path into the forest. The trees on both sides of the path were covered with strange - shaped vines, and the vines were covered with bright - colored flowers. As they passed by, the flowers suddenly opened, and a stream of colorful powder was sprayed out.

Lyra quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hand, and Elara used her magic to create a protective shield to block the powder. "These plants seem to be enchanted. They will attack any creatures that approach," Elara said.

They moved forward carefully, constantly dealing with the attacks of these strange plants. Suddenly, they heard a low - pitched growl coming from the depths of the forest. A huge, beast - like creature with thorns all over its body rushed out. Its eyes glowed with a red light, and its mouth let out a terrifying roar.

Nox raised his staff and launched a lightning spell at the beast. The lightning struck the beast, but it only made the beast more angry. It accelerated and rushed towards them.

Elara and Lyra quickly dodged to both sides, and Lyra took the opportunity to slash at the beast with her sword. However, the thorns on the beast's body were extremely hard, and the sword could not penetrate it.

Elara concentrated her magic and summoned a large - scale light array. The light array emitted a strong light, blinding the beast's eyes. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nox used a freezing spell to freeze the beast's feet, and Lyra then found a weak point on the beast's neck and stabbed it with her sword. The beast let out a final howl and fell to the ground.

After defeating the beast, they continued to move forward. But soon, they were surrounded by a thick layer of mist. They could not see the way ahead, and they seemed to be trapped in a maze.

Elara tried to use her magic to disperse the mist, but the mist was filled with a strong magic power, and her magic had no effect. "We need to find the source of this mist and destroy it, otherwise we will be trapped here forever," Lyra said.

They groped forward in the mist, and suddenly, they saw a faint light in front of them. They walked towards the light and found that it was emitted by an old man. The old man was sitting under a big tree, holding a staff in his hand, and the light was coming from the top of the staff.

"Old man, can you help us get out of this mist?" Elara asked politely.

The old man looked at them and smiled. "Young people, this mist is a magic barrier set up by the guardians of the island. If you want to get out, you need to find the key to break the barrier."

"Where is the key?" Nox asked.

The old man pointed to a cave not far away and said, "The key is in that cave. But the cave is also full of dangers. You need to be careful."

Thanking the old man, they walked towards the cave. They knew that the next shard was likely to be in the cave, and they were one step closer to their goal. But at the same time, they also knew that more dangers were waiting for them in the cave.
