Chapter 897: The Secret of the Treasure Exploration and Opening the Way
The man in white gently picked up Luo Xiaoyu, and her slender body looked particularly petite in his arms.
Xiaohong hurried forward and carefully held Luo Xiaoyu's head. Doctor Zhang quickly stepped forward, put his finger on Luo Xiaoyu's pulse, frowned, he took out the medicine bottle from his arms, skillfully applied the wound to her, and a cool breath spread across her wound.
Grandma Lin clasped her hands together and muttered something, praying that Luo Xiaoyu would be safe. Her face was full of love and worry, and she paid too much for the battle.
The air is filled with the fragrance of herbs, which is intertwined with the joy of the people who have survived the disaster, forming a warm and powerful atmosphere.
Everyone worked together to integrate their vitality into the body of the rune spirit. It suddenly burst out with dazzling light, as dazzling as the sun. This light was like a sharp arrow, instantly penetrated the darkness and rushed straight to the monster.
The monster let out a shocking scream, the sound was shrill and desperate, as if it came from the abyss of hell.
Its body began to disintegrate under the light, and the black mist continued to dissipate and eventually turned into nothingness.
Seeing this, everyone was ecstatic and had an excited smile on their faces.
They hugged each other, cheered and celebrated this hard-won victory.
The surrounding space has also become brighter due to the emotions of the people, full of hope and vitality.
They felt that they had finally defeated this powerful enemy, and a sense of accomplishment and pride in their hearts arises naturally. This is by no means a single person's achievement, but the result of everyone's joint efforts.
As the monster dissipated, the cave began to calm down, the gravel stopped falling, and the ground no longer vibrated.
Suddenly, a faint call rang out in the cave: "You... go quickly..."
The voice was low and weak, but with a hint of indescribable urgency. Everyone looked in the sound, but saw the mysterious old man opening his eyes.
As the monster dissipated, the darkness in the cave gradually subsided, the gravel on the top of the cave stopped falling, and the ground returned to peace.
The mysterious old man's voice was low and weak, but with an indescribable sense of urgency. He struggled to get up from the ground, with a ray of light flashing in his eyes: "You... go quickly..."
Everyone surrounded the mysterious old man, and Xiaohong asked with concern: "Old man, what do you mean? We are safe now, why do you still have to leave?" The mysterious old man took a deep breath and said with all his last bit of strength: "Leave this quickly and leave the ruins here.... A bigger incident is about to happen here. You must leave immediately to save your life."
Hearing these words, everyone's faces became solemn.
They looked around the cave and found that the surrounding walls began to illuminate strange light, as if some kind of power was quietly awakening.
Xiaohong's nerves were tense, and she felt the dangerous aura in the air, but she didn't know where it came from.
Doctor Zhang quickly checked Luo Xiaoyu's condition. Seeing that she was breathing smoothly and was not in danger of life for the time being, she nodded and said she could leave immediately.
At this moment, the ground deep in the cave suddenly trembled slightly, as if something was squirming under the ground.
Everyone looked in the direction of trembling and saw strands of golden light coming out from the cracks on the ground, gradually converging into a circular outline.
The outline gradually became clear, and eventually formed a mysterious treasure chest, with ancient runes embedded on the surface, emitting a soft light.
Everyone looked at each other, their hearts full of curiosity and expectation.
Grandma Lin was the first to speak: "This treasure chest doesn't look simple. Could it be that there is any treasure?" Elder Chen frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is probably not an ordinary treasure, we must be careful." However, even the cautious Elder Chen could not resist the curiosity deep in his heart.
The man in white walked forward and gently touched the surface of the treasure chest.
The treasure chest made a slight sound and slowly opened.
There was a gem emitting strange light inside, and there seemed to be a stream of energy in the center of the gem, which was dazzling.
There is also an ancient scroll on the side. The cover of the scroll is engraved with dense words in ancient runes, which looks particularly mysterious.
Everyone looked at the gems and scrolls, with a look of confusion on their faces.
Xiaohong whispered: "What exactly is this? What kind of secret is hidden behind them?" Zhang Langzhong took out a cloth towel from his arms, carefully wrapped the gems and scrolls, and handed them to the man in white: "These items don't look simple, so we will take them back to study first, and maybe we can find any clues."
The mysterious treasure chest and the strange objects in it indicate that new opportunities and challenges are coming.
The air was filled with an indescribable tension and expectation, and everyone's hearts seemed to be pulled by some unknown force and was about to embark on a new journey.
Everyone sat around the treasure chest, their eyes locked on the gems and scrolls.
The gem emits a strange light, and there seems to be a stream of energy rotating continuously in the center, which is dazzling.
On the cover of the ancient scroll, ancient runes are densely packed, as mysterious as a heavenly book.
Everyone's face was full of doubt, and curiosity and caution were intertwined.
The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing was heard. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, like a tight string that could break at any time.
Xiaohong could no longer suppress her curiosity, so she slowly stretched out her hand to touch the gem that emitted a strange light.
However, just as her fingertips were about to touch the gem, an invisible force bounced her away.
Xiaohong exclaimed and staggered back a few steps.
Everyone was shocked and looked around vigilantly, but found nothing.
Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the dense forest, breaking the strange tranquility.
The person who came was wearing a gray robe and a hat, couldn't see his face clearly, and he was holding a worn-out book tightly in his hand.
He stared at the gems and scrolls in the treasure chest with a greedy look, his voice hoarse and rapid: "Support the gems and scrolls!"
Everyone was furious.
The man in white stood up without hesitation, blocked in front of everyone, and stared coldly at the man in gray.
The atmosphere was tense in an instant and was about to break out.
The man in gray robe sneered and took out a strange weapon from his arms, flashing with a faint cold light.
"If you know the truth, just hand it over, otherwise..." Before he could finish his threatening words, he was interrupted by Grandma Lin.
"In broad daylight, I dare to snatch treasures. Do you have any other kingly laws?" Grandma Lin scolded righteously, her turbid eyes burst out with a bitter light, without any fear.
Others also agreed, and their momentum was not inferior to the gray-robed man.
The man in gray robe seemed to be shocked by Grandma Lin's courage and was stunned for a moment.
But he soon came to his senses, "If you don't want toast, you will be punished!" He suddenly raised the weapon in his hand...
The black smoke flew out from the hands of the ancient scroll scholars like a poisonous snake and rushed straight to everyone.
The strong fishy smell instantly spread, causing everyone to cry.
Zhao Blacksmith was the first to be hit. He roared angrily, raised the heavy hammer in his hand, and smashed it hard at the black mist.
With a loud "clang" sound, sparks splashed everywhere, and the hammer collided with the black fog, making a harsh metal friction sound.
Seeing this, Liewoo, who was watching, was so surprised that his eyes almost glared out, and his mouth was wide open, enough to stuff an egg.
Seeing this, the man in white quickly chanted a spell, and a golden light shot out from his hand and collided with the black mist.
The sound of sizzling is like cold water dripping into a oil pan, which is creepy.
However, the black fog was like a living thing, flexibly avoiding the attack of the golden light. The ancient scroll scholar even made a contemptuous laugh: "A little trick of carving insects!"
At this moment, the mysterious old man who had been silent moved.
His figure flashed and appeared in front of the ancient scroll scholar. His thin palm seemed weak, but it contained powerful power, and he beat the ancient scroll scholar.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the air around seemed to be twisted, and a powerful wave of air swept across, blowing everyone around.
During the melee, Luo Xiaoyu couldn't dodge and was hit by a stray bullet. She screamed and fell heavily to the ground.
She covered her chest in pain, her face pale, and a trace of blood spilled out of the corners of her mouth.
"Xiaoyu!" Xiaohong exclaimed, and wanted to rush over anxiously, but was pulled tightly by Grandma Lin.
"Don't be impulsive, it's too dangerous to go there now!"
Everyone's attention was distracted by Luo Xiaoyu's injuries, and the ancient scroll scholars took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.
Everyone was full of color and was extremely anxious.
Zhang Lang was anxious to rush over to treat Luo Xiaoyu, but was forced back by a black fog. He stared at the ancient scroll scholar angrily, his eyes full of anger.
Just when everyone was about to be unable to hold on, Luo Xiaoyu, who had been lying on the ground, stood up slowly...
"I'm fine..." She gritted her teeth, her voice trembling, but she was extremely firm.
Luo Xiaoyu stood up staggeringly, the blood on the corner of her mouth was shocking, but the anger burning in her eyes was stronger than ever.
She is usually reckless, but now she is calm.
She took a deep breath, endured the severe pain, and rushed towards the ancient scroll scholar!
Everyone was stunned, and even the cunning ancient scroll scholar showed a look of surprise.
"Is this girl dead?" Liehuo exclaimed, subconsciously holding the hunting knife in his hand.
Luo Xiaoyu's speed was more than twice as fast as usual. She rushed towards the ancient scroll scholar like an arrow. The target was not an attack, but the dilapidated book in his hand!
The ancient scroll scholar obviously did not expect Luo Xiaoyu to use this trick, and forgot to react for a moment.
At that time, Luo Xiaoyu snatched the weapon of the ancient scroll scholar. The cold touch made her shudder, but it also made her more awake.
"How is that possible!" The ancient scroll scholar was frightened and furious. He never thought that he would be plotted against by a little girl.
"I dare to show off my skills in the carvings!" Luo Xiaoyu mocked the tone of the ancient scroll scholar, full of provocation.
Seeing this, everyone's morale was suddenly boosted.
The man in white seized the opportunity and exchanged glances with the mysterious old man, and the two of them took action at the same time.
The white-clothed man's hands flourished, turned into a golden dragon, and roared towards the ancient scroll scholar.
The mysterious old man chanted a spell, and countless vines suddenly emerged on the ground, wrapping around the legs of the ancient scroll scholar like a python.
"Ah!" The ancient scroll scholar screamed, and was knocked out by the golden dragon, and blood was squirting from his mouth.
"Go away!" The ancient scroll scholar struggled to get up, fled into the dense forest in a panic, and disappeared into the shadows.
Everyone couldn't help laughing as they looked at the backs of the ancient scroll scholars fleeing in a panic.
The tension just now was swept away, replaced by ease and pleasure.
"I didn't expect this girl to have two tricks!" Zhao Blacksmith said in a muffled voice, with a hint of admiration in his tone.
"Yes, it's so brave!" Grandma Lin nodded with relief.
Everyone was full of confidence in the exploration of the treasure, as if the fog in front of them had dissipated and the light was right in front of them.
"Xiaoyu..." Xiaohong choked and trembled with her hands trying to touch Luo Xiaoyu's wound.
Xiaohong carefully tore off Luo Xiaoyu's clothes on her chest. The wound burned by the black fog was shocking, and the surrounding skin showed terrifying charred blackness.
She took out the medicine powder she carried with her with her from her arms and sprinkled it gently on Luo Xiaoyu's wound, her movements were as gentle as if she was treating a fragile treasure.
Luo Xiaoyu felt the coolness brought by the medicine powder and blinked mischievously at Xiaohong, "What's this little injury! I want to become the most powerful female hero!" Xiaohong glared at her angrily, but her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was choked, "Next time, don't be so impulsive again!" Luo Xiaoyu grinned and showed her white teeth, "I know, my good sister."
The man in white walked slowly to Luo Xiaoyu, bent down, and gently picked her up.
His movements were so cautious, as if he was holding the most precious thing in the world in his arms.
His deep eyes were filled with tenderness and concern, and he said softly, "Does it still hurt?" Luo Xiaoyu shook her head, but a sweet smile rose from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing this, Xiaohong, who was standing beside her, also showed a gratified smile on her face, and the warmth in her heart blew by like the spring breeze.
At this moment, friendship and love are intertwined, and warm currents are stirring up in everyone's hearts, and the bonds between them have become closer.
After the warmth, everyone's eyes focused on the gems and scrolls that emitted strange light.
The fierce battle before seemed just an episode, and the calmness at this moment seemed even more unusual.
Everyone frowned. They had just experienced a life-and-death struggle, but they still knew nothing about the treasure in front of them, and they didn't know how to act next.
The air was filled with a faint smell of burnt, intertwined with the strange light emitted by the gems, making it look particularly strange.
Suddenly, the gem's light began to flash violently, like breathing, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
The continuous rotation of energy in the center also became more active, as if something was about to break free from it.
Everyone held their breath and watched the changes of the gems nervously, their heartbeats as deafening as a drum.
Every time the gem flashes, it seems to convey some mysterious message, attracting everyone to go deeper.
"It is guiding the direction..." Elder Chen said suddenly and slowly, staring at the gem.
The gem's light flashed and dark, like a beating heart, guiding everyone's direction.
Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu walked in the front of the team, and their Liehun followed behind them step by step, holding the hunting knife tightly in their hands, and staring at the surroundings vigilantly.
The trees around are getting taller and taller, with dense branches and leaves covering the sky and sunshine. No trace of sunlight can be shined in. The air is filled with a scent of moisture and corruption, which makes people feel inexplicably depressed.
With the guidance of the gem light, everyone came to a darker forest.
The trees twisted into strange shapes, and the ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, making a "crying" sound when stepped on.
There was a pungent fishy smell in the air, which made people sickened.
Liehun's breathing became rapid. He felt an inexplicable fear and the hunting knife in his hand tightened.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed out from the depths of the woods, blocking everyone's way.
The black shadow was tall and covered with a black cloak, only a pair of scarlet eyes flashing with a greedy light.
"Steal the gem!" The black shadow made a low voice, his tone full of threat.
"Who are you? Why do you want to steal our gems?" Luo Xiaoyu stood up and asked loudly.
"Hmph, I am the messenger of darkness, this gem belongs to mine!" The black shadow snorted coldly, and a black aura emanated from him, covering everyone.
Everyone felt that they were having difficulty breathing, as if an invisible hand had strangled their throats.
A strong sense of danger hit their hearts, and they realized that the black shadow in front of them was an extremely powerful enemy.
"Don't be afraid, children!" Grandma Lin's voice sounded in everyone's ears, firm and powerful, "Evil cannot defeat righteousness, we will definitely defeat him!"
Grandma Lin's words gave everyone great encouragement. They rekindled their fighting spirit. The man in white stood up again, stood in front of everyone, and confronted the envoy of darkness.
The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, like a tight string that could break at any time.
The Dark Messenger sneered, and a black flame suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Since you don't know how to show off, don't blame me for being polite!" The black flames roared out like a fire dragon, rushing towards everyone...
"Be careful!" The man in white suddenly pushed Xiaohong away, but he faced the black flame...
The black flames were like a roaring beast, pounced on everyone with a scorching breath and a harsh whistle.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise and dodged everywhere. Wherever the flames passed, the plants and trees instantly withered, and the smell of burnt was filled with the air.
Blacksmith Zhao roared angrily, swung the huge hammer in his hand, and smashed it hard at the black flame.
The giant hammer collided with the flames, making a deafening roar, and sparks flew everywhere.
However, the black flame wrapped around the giant hammer like a maggot on the tarsal bone, spreading rapidly, and instantly swallowing Blacksmith Zhao.
Elder Chen, who was standing in the distance, frowned when he saw this.
The man in white flashed and blocked everyone's face. At some point, a long sword emitting a faint white light appeared in his hand.
