Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 327

"I don't feel so good about this place. It's so eerie even in the day!" Kristen said in a worried voice, with a concerned look on her face.

"Well, I've got used to it already. What did you think was in this place? None other than battlefields and graveyards! There are spooky places everywhere. I've seen more than enough of them ever since we set foot on this land," Tyson replied with a smile upon hearing Kristen's words. He tried to say it in a humorous tone, hoping to lighten up the atmosphere a little bit.

But Kristen still pressed her lips together out of concern. "This place is different," she said in a serious tone. "The places we've been to felt eerie because they were swarming with evil spirit. But this place is not the same. If you hold your breath and focus on your senses, you will see that the evil spirit is not the cause of the strange atmosphere. It feels like numerous ghosts have escaped from hell and swarmed in this place, smothering the land with their resentment and hatred," Kristen murmured in a low and deep voice, shuddering at what she just imagined.

"I agree with Kristen," Ricky chimed in. "She's right about this place. The eerie atmosphere here exists and it truly is strange. It's not the kind of weak illusion that the evil spirit has created in the other places we've been to. We need to be wary of things other than evil spirit from now on," Ricky warned, biting his lip.

He was now feeling a strong sense of danger, which went high as it could the time he entered this tomb. He didn't feel anything close to this before. Like what Kristen had pointed out, he knew for sure that the creepy aura in this place had a different and much more terrifying source. Unlike Kristen though, he knew exactly where it was coming from--the countless caves scattered throughout the whole mountain range.

"Now that you guys mentioned it, I'm starting to feel the same way, too!" Tyson exclaimed. Hearing Kristen and Ricky's words, the smile on Tyson's face disappeared. He stopped and focused on his surroundings. It didn't take him much time to sense the difference. The tension and danger around this area felt more real.

But it seemed that they had no choice but to meet the potential dangers, for getting into those caves was the only way they could move forward. They all had no other choice but to bite the bullet.

In fact, the whole mountain range looked like a giant trap. They couldn't see what was beyond it, nor could they figure out how high the mountains were. So it was impossible for them to climb over it, or go around it. Those caves seemed to be the only passages they could take to get through. Ricky guessed that this might be the result of some kind of array.

To avoid hitting the array, they could only step back and walk inside the dark strange caves.

"Now we should decide which cave we want to enter," Ricky ordered, wearing a grave expression.

The other two nodded and followed. Then the three of them stepped inside the cave on the far end, which had not been chosen by the other warriors.

The moment they were inside the cave, the creepy feeling they had on their skin intensified. The strange sense worked together with the evil spirit, and weighed heavily on their bodies. To resist the invisible two-fold oppression, they had to double their efforts to channel their spiritual energy and form shields for more protection.

As they marched on, getting deeper and deeper into the cave, the air felt colder. Gradually, the strange feeling of resentment and hatred grew stronger that it was impossible for them to ignore. Now they could feel that the resentment and hatred were being released by dead beings.

The resentment in the air was powerful, and it almost threatened to attack and erode their minds. Protected by his power of the three zones, Ricky did not fear the evil resentment. And since Tyson and Kristen had reached the peak of ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement, they were very capable of fending them off. So far, they were doing good.

But suddenly, a loud and horrible noise pierced through their minds!

It came out of nowhere after they had traveled a long distance into the cave. Ear-piercing, the waves of sound intruded itself into their minds, making them nearly overpowered by dizziness.

The next instant, a sound of blazing fire arose! Ricky reacted quickly and activated the Heaven Melting Fire without hesitation. The flames rushed up and turned into a fire cage which surrounded the three of them in an instant. With the flames blocking the sound waves, they finally recovered from the dizziness and managed to catch their breath. Ricky had accurately judged their situation. Since the power of the Heaven Melting Fire was quite ferocious and aggressive, it was the right skill to defend themselves from the attacks evolved from the creepy resentment.

So on the other side of the cage, the air was stirred by the Heaven Melting Fire and eventually, the sounds revealed themselves as they were forced by the intense heat. Slowly, the three of them could see that it was actually some strange black ripples that were buffeting the cage.

"Now this is truly unbelievable. I never knew that resentment could turn into this kind of harsh and deadly sound!" Tyson said to himself, out of amazement and fear.

"Neither did I. We need to be more careful. It seems that we might get ourselves into more danger with every step we take from here," Ricky reminded them most solemnly.

The fact was, they could simply hide in Ricky's Chaotic Fire Zone and finish this dangerous journey safely. But they knew clearly that this was not the reason they all came here. They meant to face the dangers head on and toughen themselves up in terms of both mind and strength. Because they knew that to master great martial art skills, you needed to have the courage to step on dead bodies and go against death, and most importantly, you must be able to face desperation without losing yourselves.

Ricky was especially well aware of this truth, for he had realized that he had become too dependent on the power of his Chaotic Fire Zone since he had used it so very often recently. And this dependency kept growing and he decided that he needed to take more control. This kind of bad thoughts would only be their stumbling blocks on their way to greater achievements. So at this point, none of them suggested that they should get in the Chaotic Fire Zone for safety.

Instead, they moved on under the protection of the Heaven Melting Fire together.

As they went deeper into the cave, Ricky's energy alone was no longer enough to sustain the fire cage and resist the sound of resentment. Without hesitation, both Tyson and Kristen injected their energy into Ricky's body to help him strengthen the cage. Working together was their best and only strategy right now.

Fighting alongside one another, they had gone a long way and almost reached the heart of the cave without even noticing it.
