Chapter 85: Encountering a mysterious force
After defeating the magical creatures, Su Yao, Lin Yu and Li Yueran continued to go deeper into the ruins. They knew that this was just the beginning of their adventure and there were more secrets waiting for them in the ruins.
Deep in the ruins, a huge stone gate blocked their way. The stone gate was engraved with ancient runes, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
"This should be the last entrance to the ruins." Li Yueran said, carefully observing the runes on the stone door.
"How do we open this door?" Lin Yu asked.
Su Yao took out an ancient magic book from her arms and flipped through the pages. "The book mentions that this door needs a special magic key to open."
"Then how do we find this key?" Li Yueran asked.
"This..." Su Yao pondered for a moment, "The book doesn't clearly state it. We can only continue to explore and hope to find clues."
The three of them carefully passed through the stone door and entered the last floor of the ruins. The space here was more spacious, the walls were engraved with more ancient runes, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
Suddenly, they heard a series of low roars, as if something was approaching.
"It's a trap!" Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "Everyone be careful!"
The three of them immediately dispersed and prepared for the impending attack.
The roar was getting closer and closer, and they saw a huge stone door slowly opening, and a huge figure walked out of the stone door.
This is a huge magical creature, emitting a strong magical aura. Its eyes are flashing a faint red light, as if staring at the three of them.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my territory!" The voice of the magical creature was low and hoarse, as if it came from underground.
"We are the guardians of the ruins you sealed." Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "We broke into your territory to find the treasure left by the guardian of the ruins."
The magical creature let out a roar, and its body shook violently, as if it was about to rush towards Lin Yu.
"Don't try to fool me!" The magical creature's voice became even deeper. "I have been sealed for countless years. How could I not have noticed your presence?"
Lin Yu ignored the roar of the magical creatures. He focused on gathering the magical power in his body and prepared for the upcoming battle.
At this moment, a mysterious force suddenly enveloped the three of them, their bodies became heavy, and they could hardly move.
"What kind of power is this?" Su Yao shouted in horror.
"I don't know." Li Yueran's face was pale. She struggled hard to break free from the restraints of the mysterious power.
"Everyone hold on!" Lin Yu shouted, "We can't be defeated by the enemy here!"
The three of them tried their best to break free from the mysterious force.
However, the mysterious force grew stronger and stronger, and they were almost suffocated.
"No..." Su Yao's voice became weaker and weaker, "We...can't hold on any longer..."
At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly appeared, and the mysterious power dissipated in an instant.
The three of them got up from the ground, gasping for breath.
"What is this?" Li Yueran looked at everything in front of him in horror.
They found themselves in a huge magic circle that emitted dazzling light and kept changing its shape.
"This is..." Lin Yu said in surprise, "This is the seal left by the guardian of the ruins!"
"We were just... trapped by the power of the seal." Su Yao explained.
"So now, how can we leave here?" Li Yueran asked.
"I don't know." Lin Yu shook his head. "We can only leave this magic circle first and then find a way out."
The three of them carefully walked out of the magic circle and came to a new room.
The room was empty except for some old furniture and decorations.
"How do we find a way out?" Su Yao asked.
"This..." Lin Yu looked around, "It seems there are no clues here."
Just then, they heard footsteps coming from the other end of the room.
The three of them immediately hid in the corner and held their breath.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they saw a figure slowly walking into the room.
This was a man wearing a black robe, with a black cloth covering his face, so his expression could not be seen clearly.
"Who are you?" asked the man in black robe in a deep voice.
"We are..." Lin Yu was about to answer, but suddenly remembered that he was trapped by a mysterious force. He immediately changed his mind, "We are innocent, we just broke in by mistake."
The man in black robe didn't say anything. He walked up to Lin Yu and looked at him carefully.
"Are you really innocent?" asked the man in black robe.
"Of course." Lin Yu said.
The man in black robe nodded, turned and left.
"He's gone." Su Yao said.
"Could he... be the guardian of the ruins?" Li Yueran asked.
"I don't know." Lin Yu shook his head, "But we can't take it lightly, he may come back at any time."
The three of them walked out of the room carefully and continued to explore the ruins.
They knew that this was just the beginning and there were more secrets waiting for them in the ruins.
They need to constantly improve their strength in order to gain a foothold in this world.
Next, they will face even more severe challenges. How will they respond?
