Immediately after, a group of mysterious creatures slowly emerged from the shadows surrounding the Magic Array. These creatures were massive, as tall as a two-story building, their bodies covered in black scales that shimmered with a cold luster under the light of the Magic Array. Their eyes glowed red, like burning flames, exuding a sense of ferocity and brutality. They let out low growls from their mouths, as if declaring war on them.
"These are the mysterious creatures guarding the Magic Array!" Xu An shouted, with a hint of fear in his voice.
Shen Jingqi gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his gaze firm as he looked at the mysterious creatures. "Everyone, be careful and prepare for battle! We cannot be intimidated by them; we must charge forward and unravel the secrets of the Magic Array!"
