The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

Under Matthew's gaze, the originally peaceful sky suddenly showed a hint of something unusual.

At first, it was just like a breeze blowing across the lake, causing slight ripples.

The ripples were so subtle that they were almost imperceptible without careful observation. However, as time went on, the ripples grew larger and larger, as if they were constantly stirred by an invisible giant hand.

From the initial range of only a few feet, the ripples spread outward at an astonishing speed.

The spreading trend was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of ripples.

Soon, the ripples reached a range of about a hundred feet, and there was no sign of stopping, and they continued to expand.

This strange change in the sky filled Matthew's heart with doubts and vigilance.

He stared closely at the expanding ripples, trying to find some clues from them.

As the ripples continued to expand, Matthew discovered that a black light began to quietly appear in the center of the ripples.

The black light was very weak at first, just like a little firefly in the dark night, but as time passed, it gradually became brighter, like a flame burning slowly in the darkness.

The moment he saw the black light appear, Matthew immediately noticed something unusual.

A trace of alert flashed in his eyes, and he began to mutter in his heart.

The black light exuded a familiar and disturbing breath, which was the smell of demonic energy.

"Demonic energy... Could it be that the demons are going to enter here?"

This thought surged in Matthew's mind.

He was extremely sensitive to demonic energy. He had fought with the demons many times and knew how terrible the demons were.

The strong demonic energy seemed to be announcing to him the impending danger.

Matthew frowned tightly, his brain was working rapidly, thinking about the possible consequences of the situation in front of him.

At the same time, Matthew smiled bitterly in his heart.

He felt as if he was being teased by fate. No matter where he went, the demons seemed to always follow him.

He recalled his past experiences. In every adventure and journey, the demons always appeared at the most critical moment, bringing him endless troubles and challenges.

"Why do the demons appear wherever I go?"

Matthew shook his head helplessly, his heart full of emotion.

"Could it be that the demons who suddenly evacuated from the dark curtain before were just to enter this place?"

Soon, a bold guess appeared in his mind.

Matthew began to recall the previous scene, the mysterious dark curtain and the sudden evacuation of the demons, everything seemed so strange.

If his guess is correct, then the demons must have a major plot to act so elaborately.

Thinking of this, Matthew became more alert.

If it is really as Matthew thought, then he will be extra careful next time.

He is on the demons' absolute killing order. Once the demons find his traces, it may cause endless troubles.

The demons have always hunted down those who are included in the absolute killing order by any means, and will never show any mercy.

Matthew knew that he had to remain highly alert and not relax at all.

He opened his eyes wide and scanned every corner around him vigilantly, not missing any details.

This was a completely unfamiliar area for him.

At this moment, a dull sound of footsteps came from far away. Matthew's heart tightened and he looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw two huge and ferocious beasts running towards this side like lightning.

They exuded a tyrannical aura, with fangs exposed and bloody mouths that seemed to be able to swallow a whole person in one bite.

However, the moment he saw the beasts clearly, Matthew's originally tight mouth corners suddenly rose slightly, outlining a barely noticeable smile.

Then, his figure shook lightly like a ghost, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The next moment, he had already appeared steadily on the side not far away.

At this moment, he had perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment, and was not worried that he would be noticed by the beasts.

In fact, when exploring another area before, Matthew had specially tested the ability of soul fusion. Facts have proved that as long as he is willing, even the most sensitive beasts can't easily find his traces.

Matthew lay there quietly, even his breathing became extremely light, for fear of attracting the attention of the beasts.

He decided to stay put for the time being, find a hidden place to hide first, and then wait and see whether there will be monsters in the mysterious place where ripples are constantly rippling in the sky.

After all, the previous speculation about the various strange phenomena here is only based on some clues. As for the truth, we need to wait patiently for further development to reveal the answer.

As time slowly passed, the time at this moment seemed particularly long. Matthew's heart was like being tightly hung by an invisible line, and he could never fall back to the original place.

Although he was a little anxious and uneasy in his heart, he knew that at this moment, the more critical the moment, the more he needed to remain calm and composed. If he was not careful, all his efforts might be in vain.

The tiny ripples above gradually spread outward, like waves on a calm lake.

When the ripples spread to more than a thousand feet, they finally stopped expanding.

However, in sharp contrast, the black light in the center is like a torrent that keeps gathering, becoming more and more dense and rich.

In a blink of an eye, these black lights have condensed into a huge black ball with a diameter of dozens of feet, like a dark and deep eye, quietly staring at the world below.

At this moment, dozens of strange beasts of various shapes have gathered around Matthew.

Some of them are as huge as mountains, and some are as petite and flexible as monkeys.

Some are covered with colorful scales, and some are covered with sharp bone spurs.

But without exception, every strange beast raised its head high, its eyes were fixed on the mysterious black ball in the sky, and it made a low roar from time to time, as if it had a deep fear and resistance to the things above.

At this moment, a huge muffled sound suddenly came from above.

It was as if something hit it.

Matthew, who had been watching the situation above, also accurately realized that the sound came from the black ball.

Moreover, when the sound appeared, the giant ball extended outward a little.

When the loud noise appeared, the strange beasts below immediately became agitated.

Matthew noticed that the strange beasts seemed to be looking forward to what was about to appear above, but from the sounds they made, he could hear a sense of fear.

This feeling really made Matthew a little confused.
