"Li An, do you think we can get out of here alive?" Guo Yao's voice trembled slightly.
Li An held her hand tightly, his voice firm: "We can definitely do it, as long as we don't give up."
Suddenly, a deep roar came from ahead, as if some enormous creature was approaching. Li An and Guo Yao's hearts jumped into their throats. They clung tightly to each other, bracing themselves for the unknown challenge that was about to begin.
Li An and Guo Yao exchanged a glance, reading the same message in each other's eyes: fight, there was no other choice.
Li An quickly took out his exploration tools and weapons from his backpack, ready for battle. Guo Yao also drew a pair of sharp daggers from her waist, her eyes flashing with determination.
"Li An, be careful," Guo Yao whispered a reminder.
Li An nodded, took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and charged towards the giant beast. The beast roared deafeningly and lunged at him with its gaping maw. Li An nimbly dodged the beast's attack, and the exploration lamp in his hand transformed into a dazzling beam of light, striking the beast's eyes directly.
The behemoth roared in agony, wildly waving its massive claws. Taking advantage of the moment, Li An circled behind the beast, preparing to deliver the fatal blow. However, at that moment, the behemoth suddenly turned, its enormous tail sweeping towards Li An like a steel whip.
Unable to dodge in time, Li An was struck heavily by the giant beast's tail, and was thrown a great distance. He crashed heavily into the stone wall, his vision went black, and he almost fainted.
"Li An!" Guo Yao exclaimed in alarm. She rushed to Li An without hesitation and helped him up. Li An coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the giant beast pounced on them. Guo Yao reacted swiftly, her dagger flashing like two beams of cold light, aimed directly at the beast's eyes. The beast let out a shrill roar, writhing on the ground in agony. 440 Li An seized the moment to stand up, gripping his exploration lamp tightly, gathering all his strength, and smashing it down on the beast's head. With a deafening roar, the beast's head exploded instantly, blood splattering everywhere.
They collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. The battle had left them exhausted, but their eyes gleamed with the light of victory.
“We did it.” Li An’s voice trembled slightly.
Guo Yao hugged Li An tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. "Yes, we did it."
They helped each other to their feet and continued along the passage. The light ahead grew brighter, and they knew they had finally emerged from the darkness.
Chapter 447 He died in that place
Li An and Guo Yao exchanged a glance, and long-lost smiles appeared on their faces. They had finally escaped that terrifying Sky City and seen the light of day again.
"We succeeded." Li An's voice was tinged with excitement.
Guo Yao nodded, holding Li An's hand tightly, her eyes filled with gratitude and love. "Thank you, Li An. Without you, I might have died in that place long ago."
Li An gently patted the back of her hand and said tenderly, "We're partners, aren't we? No matter what happens, I'll protect you."
They sat on the grass, resting quietly. Recalling their recent experience, they were still shaken. But their eyes held an even stronger determination to explore the unknown.
"Li An, what secrets do you think the Ancient Key holds?" Guo Yao asked curiously.
Li An shook his head, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "I don't know, but whatever secrets it holds, we'll find it. Because we're explorers, aren't we?"
Li An clenched his fists, his eyes fixed intently on the area shrouded in dangerous energy ahead. The Ancient Key was right before him, yet it seemed as if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, unattainable. A torrent of self-reproach surged within him: "It's all my fault for not being strong enough, which led Guo Yao into this desperate situation with me."
Guo Yao gently patted the back of his hand, her charming eyes sparkling with determination: "Li An, I believe you can solve all of this. We will definitely find the ancient key and unravel all the mysteries."
Li An turned his head and looked into Guo Yao's trusting eyes. The self-blame and frustration in his heart seemed to be washed away by a warm current. He took a deep breath and rallied himself: "You're right, I can't give up like this. I have to find a way to break this."
He began to carefully observe the flow of energy around him. The colorful energies, like swimming snakes, intertwined in the air to form a complex web. Li An's eyes gradually sharpened; he seemed to see a subtle connection between these energies and the architectural structure of the Sky City.
“Guo Yao, look at these energy flows. They seem to correspond to the architectural structure of Sky City,” Li An said, pointing ahead.
Guo Yao looked in the direction Li An was pointing, her brows furrowing slightly: "You mean, we can use these building structures to neutralize this energy?"
Li An nodded: "That's right, I'll give it a try."
He took Guo Yao's hand and cautiously took a step forward. The originally violent energy seemed to sense their presence, becoming even more turbulent. Li An, however, was fearless. He held Guo Yao's hand tightly and weaved through the dangerous energy flow.
Their figures danced like two nimble sprites amidst the flow of energy. Li An, relying on his understanding of the Sky City's architectural structure, skillfully evaded wave after wave of attacks. Guo Yao followed closely behind Li An, her eyes filled with trust and admiration for him.
"Li An, you're amazing!" Guo Yao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Li An smiled slightly, but dared not relax in the slightest: "It's not over yet, be careful."
Just then, an even more powerful energy surge came from ahead. Li An and Guo Yao stopped simultaneously, watching warily. A massive beam of energy shot down from the heights of Sky City, striking the ground directly in front of them.
Chapter 448 What’s going on?
The ground instantly cracked open, sending rubble and dust flying everywhere. Li An and Guo Yao quickly retreated, barely managing to dodge the attack.
"What's going on?" Guo Yao asked in surprise.
Li An frowned, his eyes scanning his surroundings intently: "It seems we've triggered some hidden forces within Sky City. These forces are preventing us from getting close to the Ancient Key."
Upon hearing this, Guo Yao couldn't help but feel worried: "What should we do then?"
Li An took a deep breath, his eyes shining with determination: "No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, we cannot give up. Guo Yao, stick close to me, we will definitely find a way to overcome all of this."
Guo Yao nodded, her eyes shining with trust. She held Li An's hand tightly, as if she wanted to pass on all her strength to him.
Li An grabbed Guo Yao's hand again and charged forward. Like two brave warriors, they forged ahead through the dangerous energy currents. The energy seemed to sense their determination and became even more violent.
Li An and Guo Yao tumbled and leaped through the air, dodging attack after attack. Their figures drew graceful arcs in the air, as if they were performing a breathtaking dance.
"Li An, watch out!" Guo Yao suddenly shouted.
Li An quickly dodged to the side, only to see a beam of energy pass by him and strike the wall behind him. The wall instantly shattered, sending rubble and dust flying everywhere.
Li An was startled and quickly turned around. He saw Guo Yao staring intently ahead, her eyes filled with vigilance and worry. Li An knew that Guo Yao was warning him of the danger ahead.
He glanced gratefully at Guo Yao, then charged forward again. They passed through beams of energy, dodging attack after attack.
Just then, Li An suddenly saw a light ahead. The light shone brightly in the darkness, like a lighthouse guiding them forward.
"Guo Yao, look!" Li An said, pointing ahead.
Guo Yao looked in the direction Li An was pointing, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "That's... the Ancient Key?"
Li An nodded: "That's right, it must be it. Let's go over there quickly."
They quickened their pace, rushing towards the light. However, just then, an alarm suddenly sounded in Sky City. The alarm was shrill and piercing, as if it would shatter their eardrums.
Li An and Guo Yao stopped simultaneously, looking around warily. A powerful defensive force rose up in front of them, like an unbreakable wall, blocking their path.
The defensive force emitted a dazzling light, as if it were woven from countless beams of energy. Standing before the defensive force, Li An and Guo Yao felt immense pressure.
"What's going on?" Guo Yao asked in surprise.
Li An frowned, his eyes scrutinizing the defensive force: "It seems this is the last obstacle to Sky City. We must break through it to obtain the Ancient Key."
Upon hearing this, Guo Yao couldn't help but feel a little worried: "But this defensive force looks incredibly powerful. Can we break through it?"
Li An took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination: "No matter how powerful it is, we cannot give up. Guo Yao, you stay behind me, we'll attack it together."
Chapter 449 Not Enough
Guo Yao nodded, her eyes shining with trust. She held Li An's hand tightly, as if she wanted to pass on all her strength to him.
Li An raised his right hand, palm facing upward. A light gradually shone from his palm, indicating that the energy within his body was gathering. He took a deep breath and then swung his hand forward with a sudden burst of energy.
A massive beam of energy shot from his palm, striking the defensive force directly. However, the defensive force seemed completely unshaken, remaining utterly indestructible.
Li An was startled and quickly withdrew his hand. Looking at the fading light in his palm, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated: "It seems my power is still insufficient."
Seeing this, Guo Yao quickly stepped forward and grasped Li An's hand: "Li An, don't be discouraged. If we work together, we will definitely be able to break through this defensive force."
Li An nodded, his eyes flashing with determination. He raised his right hand again, preparing to attack. However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a powerful force coming from behind him.
He quickly turned around and saw Guo Yao standing behind him, her hands clenched into fists, her whole body radiating a dazzling light. That power was emanating from Guo Yao's body.
“Guo Yao, you…” Li An looked at Guo Yao in surprise.
Guo Yao smiled slightly, her eyes flashing with determination: "Li An, don't forget, I am also a member of a mysterious organization. I also have my own power."
Upon hearing this, Li An felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He glanced gratefully at Guo Yao, then raised his right hand again. This time, he and Guo Yao launched their attack together.
Two enormous beams of energy shot from their palms, striking the defensive force directly. This time, the defensive force finally wavered slightly.
Seeing this, Li An and Guo Yao were overjoyed. They continued their attack, unleashing beams of energy from their palms, relentlessly bombarding the defensive force.
The defensive force gradually weakened under their attacks. Finally, under a fierce bombardment, it collapsed with a crash, turning into countless energy fragments that dissipated into the air.
Looking at the area ahead shrouded in energy fragments, Li An and Guo Yao felt a surge of excitement. They knew that the Ancient Key awaited them ahead.

They quickened their pace and rushed forward. However, just then, an even more powerful energy fluctuation came from ahead. Li An and Guo Yao stopped simultaneously, looking ahead warily.
A massive beam of energy shot out from ahead, striking the ground directly in front of them. The ground instantly shattered, sending debris and dust flying everywhere. Li An and Guo Yao quickly retreated, barely managing to avoid the attack.
"What's going on?" Guo Yao asked in surprise.
Li An frowned, his eyes scanning the area ahead with intense focus: "It seems we've triggered Sky City's final defense mechanism. This energy beam is preventing us from approaching the Ancient Key."
Upon hearing this, Guo Yao couldn't help but feel worried: "What should we do then?"
Li An took a deep breath, his eyes shining with determination: "No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, we cannot give up. Guo Yao, stay close to me, let's get through this together."
Guo Yao nodded, her eyes shining with trust. She held Li An's hand tightly, as if she wanted to pass on all her strength to him.
Chapter 450 Another Attack
Li An grabbed Guo Yao's hand again and charged forward. Like two brave warriors, they forged ahead through the dangerous energy currents. The energy seemed to sense their determination and became even more violent.
However, Li An and Guo Yao were fearless. Relying on their trust in each other and their unwavering determination, they traversed the energy flow. Their figures tumbled and leaped through the air, dodging attack after attack.
Finally, they broke through the energy beam's blockade and arrived at the location of the Ancient Key. A light flickered in the darkness; it was the Ancient Key emitting its unique glow.
