CLICK, CLICK, CLICK…
The sound of shells clicking grew more frequent, still abnormally clear over the rushing water.
None of them dared to move forward. They stared warily at the ground beneath their feet.
But the sound wasn't just coming from below. It seemed to be emanating from within the rainbow lights as well.
Moreover, the lights were steadily solidifying, taking on all sorts of blurry shapes.
The rainbow lights, once simple curves, became amorphous blobs like colorful Play-Doh and began to slowly expand.
Shifts in the misty air sometimes made the lights vanish, only for them to reappear in an instant. It was like a broken television, its screen flickering at a dizzying frequency.
Before long, the rainbow light had diffused all around them, threatening to envelop everything.
"What is this?" Li Xiangyi couldn't help but ask. "Did my light ribbon cause it?"
Worried, she prepared to put her relic away.
