Luo Xiaoyu waved the short knife in her hand and protected Grandma Lin.
The ghost surrounded her like a black tide, and the cold touch made her hair stand upright.
She slashed hard, and the blade collided with the ghost, making a dull sound, but she could not really hurt them.
Luo Xiaoyu's breathing became more and more rapid, her physical strength gradually became less and her hand holding the knife began to tremble.
Xiaohong hid behind the man in white and watched her friends fall down one by one, and her heart was filled with self-blame and helplessness.
Tears rolled in her eyes, blurring her gaze.
She bit her lip tightly, preventing herself from crying, afraid that her crying would affect everyone's morale.
At this moment, the calm and rational Doctor Zhang suddenly seemed to have changed his body. He threw the medicine box in his hand to the ground with a loud bang.
Everyone looked at him in surprise, and saw his eyes flushed and he rushed towards the group of ghosts regardless of everything.
Doctor Zhang took out a pack of green powder from his arms and sprinkled it hard at the ghost.
The powder spread in the air, with a pungent smell.
An unexpected thing happened, and the ghostly movements contaminated with the powder became slow, as if bound by some force.
"These ghosts... are afraid of this herb!" Zhang said with a breath of breath, "Look for it quickly and see if there are any similar things!"
Everyone woke up as if they were dreaming and began to search around.
Elder Chen's eyes fell on a stone tablet full of runes. He reached out to touch it, and a burning sensation came...
"This stone tablet..."
The moment Elder Chen touched the stone tablet, a burning sensation spread throughout his body along his fingertips. He suddenly retracted his hand and exclaimed: "This stone tablet... is hot!" At the same time, several ghosts near the stone tablet let out shrill roars, and their bodies seemed to be burned by fire, bursts of black smoke emerged.
"They are afraid of heat!" Luo Xiaoyu shouted in surprise.
Zhao's blacksmith's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered his ability to control metal.
He took a deep breath, pressed his palms to the ground, and a powerful force surged out.
The metal debris on the ground, the scattered weapons, and even the metal decorations on the walls began to vibrate.
As if they were summoned by some kind of summons, they quickly gathered towards Zhao's blacksmith, hovered and flew in front of him, making a harsh metal friction sound.
"Get up!" Zhao Blacksmith shouted, and the metal fragments rose into the air like a fire dragon, spinning and flying above his head, eventually forming a huge ring of flames, emitting a scorching high temperature.
The flame circle trapped the ghost in it like a cage. The ghost let out a shrill scream, and his body quickly dissipated under the high temperature and turned into wisps of black smoke.
The smell of burnt was filled with the air, and the ghost's wail gradually disappeared, leaving only a circle of burning flames, illuminating everyone's faces.
The joy of surviving the disaster spreads in everyone's heart, they look at each other and smile.
"We... succeeded!" Xiaohong hugged the man in white excitedly, his voice choked.
The man in white gently stroked her hair, his eyes soft, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Luo Xiaoyu and Liehuo stood up with each other, and they looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
Everyone looked at each other and experienced this life-and-death test, their relationship became deeper and more united.
Elder Chen looked at the burning circle of flames with deep eyes and said slowly: "It seems that we are one step closer to the truth of the treasure."
Suddenly, the flame circle was extinguished, and a cold wind blew from the depths of the gate, bringing a disturbing breath.
Everyone's hearts were filled with an ominous premonition...
Elder Chen slowly raised the oil lamp in his hand and shone forward. The faint light illuminated a road leading to the depths of darkness...
"Walk."
The faint light of the oil lamp sways in the deep passage, illuminating the way for everyone to move forward.
The air was filled with dampness and decay, and slippery stone slabs under the feet, making a tiny-sharp friction sound every step.
The walls on both sides of the passage were engraved with strange runes, flashing with a faint blue light, jumping like ghost fire, reflecting on everyone's faces, looking strange and mysterious.
"This place... is really weird." Luo Xiaoyu whispered, holding the short knife in his hand tightly, and looking around vigilantly.
The end of the passage suddenly became clear, and a huge maze appeared in front of everyone.
The walls of the maze are made of huge stones, and the surface is also engraved with flickering runes, like a huge rune array, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
At the entrance of the maze stands a stone tablet with several ancient words engraved on it, no one can recognize it.
"Is this... the entrance to the treasure?" Xiaohong grabbed the sleeves of the man in white.
Everyone stepped into the maze, and empty echoes came from their feet, as if the entire maze was empty.
The labyrinth passages are intricate and intertwined like spider webs, which is dazzling.
The runes on the walls are flickering, projecting unpredictable light and shadow, adding to the mystery of the maze.
"Be careful, there must be mechanisms in this maze." Elder Chen reminded, his eyes sweeping around with sharp eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came, and a sharp arrow shot out from the dark grid on the wall and headed straight for Xiaohong.
The man in white had quick eyes and hands. He pulled Xiaohong behind him, and the arrow flew past his sleeves, nailed it to the opposite wall, making a dull "bang" sound.
"It's so dangerous!" Xiaohong patted her chest in a daze, her face pale.
The next journey is even more dangerous, with various mechanism traps emerging one after another.
Sometimes there are spikes that suddenly rise from the ground, sometimes there are venom sprayed from the wall, and sometimes the rocks hidden in the dark.
With their own supernatural powers and wisdom, everyone carefully avoided and moved towards the center of the maze step by step.
Zhang Langzhong used his knowledge of herbs to identify some poisonous plants and used them to crack some venom traps.
Zhao Blacksmith used his ability to control metals to trigger some metal mechanisms and open up a path for everyone.
Elder Chen, based on his research on ancient characters, interpreted the meaning of some runes and found the correct path.
As the crowd continued to deepen, the runes light in the maze became stronger and stronger, and the pressure in the air became heavier and heavier.
Suddenly, a huge roar came from the depths of the maze, like the roar of a giant beast from the depths of the earth, deafening.
Everyone stopped and looked at the depths of the maze with a serious expression.
The roar was getting closer and closer, and the ground began to tremble slightly.
"Then... what's that sound?" Luo Xiaoyu's voice trembled a little.
At this moment, the walls of the maze began to move, making a dull friction sound, like a huge stone mill turning.
The passage became narrower and narrower, and the rune light on the wall became more and more dazzling.
"No! The maze is about to be closed!" Elder Chen exclaimed.
Everyone looked up and saw that the top of the maze began to slowly descend, like a huge cage, trying to trap them in it...
"Hurry! Find the exit!" said the man in white in deep voice.
The walls of the maze wriggled like living creatures, making a harsh friction sound, constantly squeezing everyone's activity space.
The roar was getting closer and closer, as if the breath of a giant beast was pressing against their ears, everyone's eyes were filled with tension, and their hearts were beating violently.
Luo Xiaoyu grabbed Xiaohong's hand tightly, and her knuckles turned white.
The space is getting narrower and the depressing atmosphere makes people almost breathless.
Liehuo held the spear in his hand tightly, and the rough wooden pole rubbed against his palms, bringing a hint of cold touch.
He took a deep breath, staring firmly ahead, ready to fight at any time.
The roar suddenly stopped, and a huge rock beast appeared in front of everyone as the dust flew.
Its body is like a mountain, covered with rough rocks, exuding an ancient and wilderness atmosphere.
Every time the giant beast took a step, the ground vibrated violently and gravel fell down.
"I'll do it!" The man in white shouted softly, his figure turned into a afterimage and rushed towards the giant beast.
He waved his hands, and the wind howled, trying to blow the giant beast down.
However, the giant beast remained motionless, as if it was rooted in the depths of the earth.
The strong wind blew the gravel from the giant beast, hitting the wall, making a crackling sound.
Luo Xiaoyu took a breath. The power of this giant beast was far beyond their imagination.
The giant beast let out a deafening roar, and its huge arms hit everyone with the whistling wind.
Everyone hurriedly hurriedly avoided, gravel splashed and dust filled.
Blacksmith Zhao roared, pressed his hands on the ground, and the metal control ability was activated, and the metal fragments on the ground quickly gathered to form a huge shield.
However, the giant beast's arm was strong and its shield was smashed to pieces in an instant, and metal fragments flew everywhere.
"Attack its eyes!" The mysterious old man shouted.
The rune spirit stood side by side with him, muttering words, and rune lights flew towards the eyes of the giant beast.
The giant beast roared in pain, its huge body shook violently, and anger flashed in its eyes...
"Not good! It wants..."
The giant beast frantically shook its huge head, trying to get rid of the rune light attack.
The rune's light flashed unevenly, pressing tightly against the eyes of the giant beast like a bone-attached gangrene.
The giant beast's roar of pain resounded throughout the maze, shaking everyone's eardrums buzzed.
Its huge body waving randomly, and every attack was filled with destructive power.
Zhao Blacksmith's metal shield was shattered again and again, and the metal fragments cut everyone's clothes, leaving blood marks.
While dodging the attack of the giant beast, Doctor Zhang quickly bandaged the wounds for the wounded.
A strong smell of blood filled the air, mixed with the smell of dust, making people sickened.
The wounded moans came one after another, and sweat was oozing from the forehead of Doctor Zhang, his face was pale, and he was almost out of his mind.
Suddenly, the giant beast slapped Luo Xiaoyu with a palm. She couldn't dodge and was hit by a huge force. Her body flew out like a kite with broken strings, fell heavily to the ground, and a mouthful of blood was spewed out of her mouth.
Xiaohong's eyes widened in horror and wanted to rush over, but Grandma Lin held it tightly: "Don't go! It's too dangerous!" Xiaohong's tears burst out from her eyes, and she could only watch Luo Xiaoyu fall into the dust, life and death are uncertain.
The man in white looked solemn, his hands kept waving, and the strong wind roared towards the giant beast, trying to block its attack.
However, the power of the giant beast is too strong, and the obstacles caused by the strong wind to it are getting smaller and smaller.
The man in white breathing gradually became rapid, and sweat beads oozing from his forehead, and his supernatural powers were being consumed quickly.
At this moment, Luo Xiaoyu, who was originally unconscious, suddenly struggled to sit up. She wiped away the blood at the corner of her mouth, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
She pointed to the legs of the giant beast and shouted loudly: "There! Attack there!" Everyone looked at Luo Xiaoyu in surprise. She was usually reckless and was extremely calm at this moment.
Following the direction of Luo Xiaoyu's finger, everyone noticed that there was a clear crack in the joints of the leg under the huge body of the giant beast.
"Concentrate attack there!" Luo Xiaoyu's voice sounded again, with unquestionable firmness.
Everyone seemed to have found the backbone and turned their attack target to the leg joints of the giant beast.
Blacksmith Zhao controlled the metal fragments, shooting at the legs of the giant beast like sharp bullets.
Liehun's spear stabbed into the crack with a sound of breaking through the air...
"Its legs... seem..." Elder Chen pointed at the legs of the giant beast, with a hint of trembling in his tone.
The metal fragments of Zhao Blacksmith poured into the legs of the giant beast like rain, and the sound of jinglings and impacts were endless.
Liehun's spear penetrated deep into the crack, and the wooden poles made an overwhelming creaking sound.
The giant beast let out a painful roar, its huge body swayed, and its movements became obviously slow.
"Effective!" Luo Xiaoyu shouted excitedly, with a hint of weakness in her voice.
Seeing this, everyone was energetic and their attacks became even more fierce.
The rune light of the rune spirit also concentrated on attacking the legs of the giant beast. The light flashed, and it was tightly clenched like a maggot on the tarsal bone.
The sound of cracking was constantly heard from the joints of the giant beast's legs, and the cracks became bigger and bigger, as if they would break at any time.
It struggled in pain, but could not escape the attacks of the crowd.
Finally, with a deafening roar, the giant beast's legs completely broke, and its huge body fell down, stirring up dust in the sky.
The dust settled, and everyone looked at the giant beast lying on the ground, and their faces showed the joy of victory.
The excitement of the aftermath surged into their hearts, and they cheered and hugged each other.
After the giant beast fell, it revealed a gem with light shining on its abdomen.
The gems exuded a mysterious aura, attracting everyone's attention.
Elder Chen carefully took off the gem, looked carefully, his eyes full of amazement: "This is... the legendary 'Xuantian Baoyu'!"
Xiaohong helped Luo Xiaoyu up with heartache," Luo Xiaoyu blinked playfully: "Hehe, that's a little bit." The man in white walked quickly to Xiaohong, picked her up gently, and looked at her gently.
Xiaohong snuggled happily in his arms, feeling his warm embrace.
Everyone looked at each other, and the joy of surviving the disaster and the bond between them made their relationship closer.
Suddenly, Elder Chen pointed to the exposed place after the giant beast fell and said, "Look..." The giant beast collapsed with a bang in the center of the maze, and dust rose up in the sky.
After the dust settled, everyone saw clearly that the place where the giant beast was originally standing was actually a towering stone platform.
On the stone platform, a treasure box lies there quietly, emitting a soft and strange light, as if it contains endless secrets.
"There... there is a treasure box there!" Luo Xiaoyu pointed to the platform excitedly. The fatigue just now was wiped out. Xiaohong couldn't help but exclaim, and tightly held the hand of the man in white. After the disaster, everyone discovered the treasure again, and their mood was ups and downs.
Everyone suppressed their inner excitement and walked carefully towards the platform.
Every time I took a step, my heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little, as if I could hear the sound of my heart pounding in my chest.
The air was filled with a faint smell of lime, and the stone slabs under my feet were a little uneven, making a slight friction sound.
As they approached the platform, the ground suddenly began to vibrate, and the sound of the crackling mechanism continued to sound, and the surrounding walls began to move slowly.
"Be careful!" The man in white shouted softly, waved his hands, and a strong wind protected everyone.
At the same time, Zhao Blacksmith activated the metal control ability again, and the metal fragments on the ground blocked everyone like barriers.
Everyone had already cooperated and avoided the attacks of the mechanism without panic.
Luo Xiaoyu is agile and flexibly shuttles between the moving walls, guiding everyone in the direction of progress.
Liehuo held his spear tightly and was ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
While paying attention to the surroundings, Doctor Zhang quickly bandaged the wounds.
After some intense avoidance and cracking, everyone finally arrived under the platform successfully.
They looked up at the treasure box on the stone platform, and their hearts were full of expectations.
Elder Chen walked forward and carefully stretched out his hand to open the treasure box.
The moment his fingertips touched the treasure box, the treasure box suddenly released a powerful force, bounced away everyone in an instant.
Everyone fell to the ground like kites with broken strings, making muffled groans.
The light emitted by the treasure box became even more dazzling, making people unable to open their eyes.
"What's going on?" Luo Xiaoyu rubbed her arms that were numb and her face was full of doubts.
Xiaohong also frowned and looked at the man in white.
The man in white shook his head, saying that he didn't know either.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
At this time, they were surprised to find that some mysterious runes suddenly appeared on the ground around the treasure box.
These runes flashed with a dark blue light, moving slowly like living things, full of mysterious aura.
"This rune..." Elder Chen's eyes widened, with a hint of trembling in his tone.
