Everyone glanced at each other and stopped their actions. An old man in the air spoke solemnly, "There will probably be more dangers behind, but you have no choice but to move forward." Everyone nodded in agreement and speeded up to break the jigsaw puzzle lock. As the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle was in place, the stone gate slowly opened. A stench of decay filled their faces as a large demon appeared before them. It was covered in spikes and its eyes were bloodshot with killing intent.
However, before the beast could unleash an attack, a ray of golden light shot out from the crowd, and it was Mo Wenjie who struck first. Seeing this, the others quickly cast spells, and for a moment, various beams of light intertwined and surged towards the demon. The demon roared in anger as its spikes flew off and shot towards the crowd. The people hurriedly dodged and changed their formation, collectively restricting some of the demon's movement abilities.
At that critical moment, Mo Wenjie's eyes were as bright as torches, closely observing the demon's every move. He sensed a perfect opportunity and instantly soared into the air like an arrow. At the same time, his magic sword emitted dazzling light, seemingly responding to the spiritual energy of the universe. As he continuously injected strong spiritual power into his body, the light on his sword grew more intense.
Without delay, Mo Wenjie held his magical sword tightly in both hands and struck towards the demon's vulnerable spot on its head with a momentum of thunder and lightning. There was a muffled thud, "Puf," as the magic sword pierced deep into the demon's skull without resistance. Instantly, the demon's massive body convulsed violently, and a gruesome howl escaped its mouth. Following that, its mountainous body crashed down heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Witnessing this breathtaking scene, everyone present couldn't help but exhale deeply. Their tense emotions were momentarily relieved, only to be quickly replaced by curiosity about the unknown world beyond the stone gate.
At this moment, Mo Wenjie, along with Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuoba Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, and Jin Canxianzi and others. After a brief rest and adjustment. They began their journey once again to the depths of the stone gate. Each one of them was particularly cautious and careful as if they were afraid to awaken the hidden dangers lurking in this darkness.
Mo Wenjie held the torch in front, and the faint light could only illuminate a small area around them. Yet, even so, he strained his eyes to try to see the situation ahead. The people following him stayed close together, keeping watch over each other.
Ding Qingyao's expression was serious, and she held a sharp long sword tightly in her hand, ready to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise. Huang Ling'er, on the other hand, looked worried. She kept her beautiful big eyes scanning around, as if trying to discover some clue in this boundless darkness.
Jiang Yurou and Xiao Yawen held hands, their steps were light yet stable; Ding Yan and Tuoba Yingying walked side by side, whispering about their guess for the journey ahead.
Qin Xiaodie held a string of bells, and with any slight wind or movement, the clear, pleasant ring of the bells would sound, serving as a warning to everyone. Cao Chunling then silently recited an incantation, hoping to use magic to protect herself and her companions.
As for Jin Canxianzi, she emitted a faint glow around her, making her stand out like a shining pearl amidst this dark environment. However, at this moment, she was fully focused on observing her surroundings, paying attention to the slightest detail without relaxing in the least.
In this way, the group slowly advanced through the mysterious and dangerous depths of the stone gate, taking one step at a time, gradually approaching the secrets and adventures hidden behind the darkness...
As they walked, Mo Wenjie suddenly felt a hollow beneath his feet and fell downwards. He shouted, "Be careful of the trap!" The others hurried to stop as soon as they heard his voice. It turned out that a huge deep pit had appeared in front of them at an unknown time, its bottom flickering with eerie dim light.
Just as everyone was at a loss, Jin Canxianzi flew forward to check. She said, "There is a treasure's aura down there, but also a strong prohibition force." Mo Wenjie pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go down to take a look, you guys be prepared to receive us from above." Then he slowly descended along the pit wall.
The pit bottom was covered with strange runes, and there was a treasure box in the middle. As Mo Wenjie approached the treasure box, the runes suddenly lit up, shooting beams of light at him. Mo Wenjie cast defensive spells to block them, while attempting to decipher the runes.
Just as he was about to decipher the runes, many small demon beasts climbed out of the pit walls, snarling and lunging towards Mo Wenjie. The people above saw this and threw down their magical items to help.
Mo Wenjie took a deep breath, gripping the lock on the treasure box's lid tightly with both hands, and twisted it with all his might. At that very moment, a mysterious and powerful force surged from within him, traveling down his arms and into the lock. There was a sharp click as the lid of the treasure box slowly opened. A brilliant beam of light shot out instantly from inside the box.
The light gradually dimmed, and Mo Wenjie took a close look to see a round, smooth, crystal-clear pill lying inside the box. The pill was an intense purple in color, with a faint aura of spiritual light shimmering on its surface, as if it contained endless spiritual power and mysteries.
Mo Wenjie carefully took out the pill and held it in his palm. In an instant, he felt a vast amount of energy surging into his body like a tidal wave, causing him to shiver. At the same time, a low growling sound suddenly echoed from around them, as several hidden demon beasts were attracted by the spiritual energy emitted by the pill.
These small demon beasts, though small in size, were incredibly ferocious. They lunged at Mo Wenjie with their teeth bared and claws outstretched. However, Mo Wenjie was no longer the same as before. With a fierce flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a sophisticated set of fists. The force of the punches roared through the air, accompanied by gusts of strong energy. The small demon beasts could not withstand such a ferocious assault and flew back with bloodcurdling screams.
After dealing with the small demon beasts, Mo Wenjie turned to look at the huge deep pit behind him. At this moment, a group of people stood at the edge of the pit, anxiously waiting for his return. Seeing Mo Wenjie unharmed, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
With the help of everyone, Mo Wenjie climbed up the pit edge smoothly. As soon as he stood steady, people around him immediately gathered, their eyes focused on the pill emitting strong spiritual energy in his hand. They whispered to each other in excitement and curiosity, their faces filled with wonder and surprise.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "What is this pill? It emits such a strong spiritual energy fluctuation!" Another one guessed, "Perhaps this is the legendary divine pill that can significantly enhance one's power after consumption!" Someone else eyed it greedily and muttered to themselves, "If only I could possess such a pill..."
Facing the endless chatter from the crowd, Mo Wenjie smiled slightly, without rushing to answer. He well understood the preciousness of this pill and knew that it might bring him unexpected opportunities. However, the most important thing at this moment was how to explore the secrets hidden in the depths of the stone gate and find more treasures like this one. Thinking about this, he looked up at the tightly closed stone gate ahead, filled with anticipation and yearning in his heart.
Mo Wenjie approached the stone gate, channeling his spiritual power and placing his palm against it. Suddenly, the gate rippled with circles of light like ripples on water, then slowly opened. Inside was a corridor shimmering with strange brilliance, and the walls were covered in ancient runes. The group cautiously entered the corridor, while Mo Wenjie walked and studied the runes on the walls as if gaining some understanding.
At the end of the corridor, there was a spacious stone chamber. Inside was a stone platform where a scroll emitting seven-colored light floated. Just as everyone marveled at the sight, the ground suddenly trembled, and numerous mechanical puppets surged out from around them. Mo Wenjie roared loudly and charged at the puppets, leading the way, with everyone following closely behind. In the fight, Mo Wenjie discovered that the core weakness of these puppets lay in their crystal in their heads. After sharing this strategy with everyone, they all focused their attacks on the puppets' heads.
With the last puppet falling, Mo Wenjie stepped onto the stone platform and picked up the scroll. Upon flipping through it, a surge of spiritual energy entered his mind, revealing an ancient and long-lost cultivation technique.
Mo Wenjie was filled with excitement and his face lit up with a brilliant smile. The joy was so overflowing that it seemed as if it would burst. Seeing his excitement, the people around him also showed happy expressions, genuinely delighted for him.
At this moment, a light creaking sound was heard, and the dark door on the other side of the stone chamber began to slowly open. From the gap, an even more intense and concentrated aura of treasure burst forth, instantly enveloping the entire chamber. This mysterious and enticing scent was like an invisible hand tightly holding everyone's heartstrings in place.
Mo Wenjie, Ding Qingyao, Huang Lining, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuoba Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling and the golden silkworm all looked at each other in unison. In the moment of their eyes meeting without words, they had already reached a tacit understanding. Without hesitation, they stepped forward with determined strides and entered the newly opened dark door. Each person's heart was filled with anticipation and curiosity. They were eager to explore the next surprise hidden within.
After entering the dark door, they found themselves in a huge circular space with a towering column in the middle. The column was encircled by chains, with each end of the chains tethering to glowing treasure chests.
Just as everyone approached the giant column, the surroundings suddenly echoed with the melodious sound of a flute. Along with the melody, some ethereal figures appeared, holding weapons and charging towards the crowd. These figures seemed to be ethereal but their attacks were very real and fierce.
Mo Wenjie took the lead, his spiritual sword slashing into a shield of light to fend off the attacks. The other women also revealed their formidable skills. Ding Qingyao unleashed a sharp sword technique, Huang Lining invoked a divine artifact, and Jiang Yurou scattered spiritual powder to disrupt the enemy's vision.
However, the enemies were numerous. Mo Wenjie realized that he had to destroy the flute to stop the attack. Using his superhuman senses, he pinpointed the location of the flute player and Flashed through the enemy lines to a corner. There, a man in a black robe was blowing the flute. Without saying a word, Mo Wenjie launched an all-out attack, and the black-robed figure, unable to avoid it, was struck and lost his grip on the flute.
As the flute sound faded away, the ethereal figures disappeared without a trace. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then joyfully approached the treasure chests on the column, eagerly anticipating what treasures they might contain.
