Guardian: The Lost World

The Red Tower

-Shen Wei-

After Shen Wei successfully manage to rise his energy, once Yunlan became serious, knowing Shen Wei may be in danger, they go out of the bath and reunited with the others to be on their way. Lóng Hún portal them close to the tower, but not directly inside it, because the power protecting the place was too strong to use a portal inside, so they walked the rest of the way through the snowy trail, killing those few demons they encounter along the way and after walking for a while, they found themselves at the entrance of a cave.

They went in and walked for what looked like hours until they reached a bigger chamber that had some kind of temple made of stone magnificently carved inside the iced wall. As they looked up, there was a huge hole from which some snow fell inside the cave.

"Some demons escaped through there." Long Hun explained, as most of the team looked up to the hole, as if mesmerized by it.

"Talking about that, why are so little demons coming out?" Zhao asked with curiosity.

"Most of the demons left behind by the demon woman were killed yesterday. Those who remains are scattered somewhere close to the tower."

"Then can you tell us how many are left?" Da Qing asked and the dragon looked at Shen Wei.

"A few dozen... shadow demons if I'm not mistaken." Shen Wei answer as he sensed them inside the cave.

"So how can you tell?" Zhu asked.

"He was a Ghost King." Both Yunlan and Lóng Hún answer at the same time.

"How cute, they are in sync." Lin whisper jokingly to her, which earned an elbow on his ribs.

"Idiot, don't joke in moments like this." Zhu whisper back.

"So, this is it? Is this our final destination?" Chu asked as they got closer to the freeze stone temple. Guo, who was closely behind him, was holding his sleeve for dear life.   

"This is the way to the tower and to the broken seal, but I don't think this is our final destination." The dragon said as they carefully walk toward the stairs, guarded by two lion's stones.

"What do you mean?" Both Chu and Zhao asked at the same time.

"Look and it's contagious..." Lin whisper to Zhu again, moaning in pain after another elbow on his ribs.

"Shut up you idiot!" Zhao shouted at the same time Old Chu did. Wang and Sang smiled, so did Guo and Shen simply sighed as he took Yunlan's hand on his.

"Seriously Lin... shut up." Da Qing added, as he nervously eyed the entrance of the temple.

"Apparently the demon woman's goal, wasn't only to brake one seal." Lóng Hún keep explaining to immature bunch of fools.

"Yep, otherwise she would had stayed to prevent us from restoring it again." Wang added.

"Exactly." Lóng Hún confirmed.

"So... this is some kind of trap?" Sang asked, as they walk up the stairs.

"Could be." Lóng Hún admitted.

"It is. I can sense something stronger pressing to break free from the other side." Shen whisper, making Zhao look at him with worry.

"Babe, you can reach that far?" Yunlan asked, gently pressing his hand.

"Somehow, yes... it's my seal, so maybe I'm more in tune with it that you are." Shen said, keeping Yunlan closer.

"So... more demons will break free?" Da Qing asked, taking out his gun again.
