Chapter 184: Exploring the Secrets and Dangers

Exploring secrets and dangers

"The direction where Wei Qing disappeared should be the clue." I said in a deep voice, holding Hao Yang's hand tightly.

Elder Lin nodded in agreement.

The three of us followed the remaining strange energy fluctuations and tracked them all the way.

After walking for about an hour, a dense jungle appeared in front of them. The forest was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, which was very similar to the atmosphere Wei Qing felt when she disappeared before.

"Here..." Elder Lin looked around cautiously with a serious expression, "It seems something is unusual."

After pushing aside the dense branches and leaves, we found a hidden cave. The entrance of the cave was covered by vines and it would be difficult to find without careful observation.

A strange energy fluctuation came from deep inside the cave, it was exactly the breath we were tracking!

"It seems that this is where Wei Qing disappeared." I took a deep breath and walked into the cave first.

Hao Yang followed closely behind, and Elder Lin was the rear guard. The three of them advanced cautiously.

The light in the cave was dim, and a damp smell hit the face.

The walls of the cave were engraved with strange runes, flickering with a faint light, illuminating the road ahead.

As we went deeper, we found that this was not a simple cave, but a large-scale relic!

The ruins are filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, and dangerous energy fluctuations are faintly flowing in the air, which makes people shudder.

We took every step with extreme caution, fearing that we might trigger some fatal mechanism.

"The energy here... is so rich!" I was surprised to find that there were many crystal clear energy crystals scattered in the ruins, emitting soft light.

These crystals hold powerful energy, just what I need right now!

I immediately began to collect these energy crystals, greedily absorbing the energy within them.

As I absorbed more and more energy, I felt my strength increasing, my body gradually returned to its best condition, and all the previous fatigue was gone.

"These energy crystals are a godsend!" I said excitedly, with a gleam in my eyes.

Suddenly, I felt a strange breath coming from the depths of the ruins.

This breath...

Very powerful, and very strange.

"Who is it?!" Hao Yang stood in front of me vigilantly, looking ahead with alert eyes.

Elder Lin also immediately became alert, and a long sword emitting a cold light appeared in his hand.

Our nervous breathing echoed in the silent cave...

A light voice suddenly sounded in the empty ruins.

"Welcome to... my home."

The source of the sound was a woman in a white long dress, floating in the air like a fairy.

She has long black hair that falls like a waterfall, delicate facial features, and a pair of clear blue eyes.

This is the ancient spirit, the guardian of the ruins.

She landed slowly, her eyes sweeping over the three of us, finally stopping on me. "Who are you? Why did you break into my home?" Her voice was cold and a little wary.

Before I could say anything, several huge stone beasts rose from the ground and surrounded us.

It seemed that she regarded us as invaders.

"Misunderstanding! We are not bad people!" I hurriedly explained, but Gu Ling obviously didn't believe me. "Not bad people? Then what are you doing here?"

"We..." I was about to explain Wei Qing's disappearance, but Hao Yang spoke first, "We are here to look for treasure!"

I glared at him. It was already this late and he was still thinking about treasure hunting!

However, Hao Yang winked at me and signaled me to stay calm.

Although I didn't understand his intention, I still chose to believe him.

Gu Ling sneered, "Treasure hunting? This isn't a treasure trove, but a dangerous place full of dangers! Since you're determined to seek death, don't blame me!"

As soon as the words fell, the stone beast attacked us.

The huge stone fist came towards us with a whistling sound. I quickly dodged, while Hao Yang flexibly shuttled between the stone beasts, looking for their weaknesses to attack.

Elder Lin also used his magic weapon to fight with the stone beast.

"Boom!" I released a huge fireball, blowing a stone beast into pieces.

But there were too many stone beasts, and we gradually felt overwhelmed.

This can't go on like this!

I took a deep breath and decided to give it a try.

I jumped into the air, mobilized all the spiritual power in my body, and condensed it into a huge ball of energy.

"Go to hell!" I slammed the energy ball hard onto the ground.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the shock wave generated by the explosion of the energy ball shattered all the surrounding stone beasts.

Gu Ling looked at me, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "You... actually have such a powerful power?"

I landed slowly, looked at Gu Ling, and said firmly: "We are really not bad people, we just want to find our companions!"

Gu Ling was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Alright, but I have to tell you, this relic hides a huge secret..." She paused, her eyes becoming deep, "A secret that could destroy the world..."

I was shocked. Could Wei Qing’s disappearance be related to this secret?

"Follow me." Gu Ling turned and walked into the depths of the ruins, leaving behind a mysterious back.
