Chapter 343: Exploring the Ruins
Pushing open the heavy door of the ruins, an ancient and mysterious atmosphere surged in like a tide, making everyone's heart tighten. Inside the door was a spacious and dim hall, and the walls were engraved with strange runes and patterns, as if telling a long-ago story.
Shen Mo stepped into the hall carefully, and the stone slabs under his feet made a slight sound. "Everyone be careful, there may be unknown dangers hidden here." He warned in a low voice.
Lin Yuwei raised the magic wand in her hand, and the tip of the wand emitted a soft light, illuminating a small area around. With this weak light, they saw a huge statue in the center of the hall. The face of the statue was blurred, but it exuded a majestic aura. The statue looked a little weird. "Qingfeng held the hilt tightly and looked around vigilantly.
The female general walked forward and observed the statue carefully. "Perhaps there are clues about the artifact hidden in it."
Just as they were about to get closer to the statue for a closer look, the floor of the hall suddenly began to tremble, and rays of light shot out from the surrounding walls, interweaving into a complex magic circle.
"Oh no, it's a trap!" Lin Yuwei exclaimed.
A powerful force surged from the magic circle, trapping everyone inside. Shen Mo tried to break free from the restraints of this force, but every time he approached the edge, he would be bounced back.
"Everyone calm down and see if you can find the flaw in the magic circle." Shen Mo said.
Lin Yuwei closed her eyes and concentrated on feeling the fluctuations of the magic circle. "The power of this magic circle comes from the statue. We must destroy the statue to break it."
Qingfeng heard this and rushed towards the statue without hesitation. But on the way, magical rays of light attacked him, and he dodged them flexibly and gradually approached the statue.
"Qingfeng, be careful!" the female general shouted.
Just as Qingfeng was about to approach the statue, a huge monster jumped out from the shadows and pounced on him. Qingfeng dodged to the side and swung his sword at the monster. The monster roared and started a fierce fight with Qingfeng.
Seeing this, the female general also rushed over and fought against the monster together with Qingfeng. Their tacit cooperation gradually gained the upper hand.
At this time, Lin Yuwei, with the assistance of Shen Mo, continued to study the structure of the magic circle, trying to find the key to crack it.
"I understand!" Lin Yuwei suddenly opened her eyes, "Shen Mo, inject your power into my magic wand, I will break this magic circle."
Shen Mo followed his words and placed his hand on the magic wand, and a powerful force was transmitted. Lin Yuwei raised the magic wand, muttered something, and a dazzling light shot out from the tip of the wand, hitting the core of the magic circle.
There was a loud bang, and the magic circle shattered in an instant, and the power that trapped everyone disappeared without a trace.
Qingfeng and the female general also successfully defeated the monster.
"Is everyone okay?" Shen Mo asked.
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that it was okay.
They continued deeper into the ruins, passing through a narrow passage and coming to a huge library filled with ancient books and scrolls, exuding a smell of decay.
"Maybe we can find records about the artifact here." Lin Yuwei said.
Everyone began to look for useful clues in the library. Su Yao found a description of the artifact in a yellowed book.
"It says that the artifact is sealed in the deepest part of the ruins and can only be obtained after passing three tests." Su Yao said.
Shen Mo frowned, "It seems that there are more difficult challenges waiting for us ahead."
They left the library and continued walking. Soon, they came to a room full of fog.
"There's something strange about this fog, everyone be careful," the female general warned.
When they stepped into the fog, they immediately lost their way. There were bursts of eerie laughter coming from all around, which made people shudder.
"Who is it? Come out!" Qingfeng shouted loudly.
The only answer he got was that strange laugh.
Lin Yuwei cast magic to try to dispel the fog, but it became thicker and thicker.
"This is an illusion trap, we must keep a clear head." Shen Mo said.
Everyone closed their eyes, calmed down, and tried to get rid of the influence of the hallucination.
After some effort, they finally walked out of the foggy room.
Then they came to a closed stone door with some strange symbols carved on it.
"This may be the first test." Shen Mo said.
They began to study these symbols, trying to find a way to open the stone door...
