Chapter 112: Deep into the Second Floor of the Ruins

Deep in the vast cave, four explorers stood in front of a towering stone platform, holding tightly in their hands the lost magic crystal that had seen the light of day again after going through so many vicissitudes of life. Their eyes flashed with complex lights, with both the ecstasy of discovering treasures and the awe of unknown challenges. Dean Li Yuan broke the silence with a deep voice: "This is just the beginning. The real secret is still hidden in the deeper part of the ruins."

Zhao Hao looked into the deep darkness, his eyes flashing with determination: "Dean, how should we proceed?"

"Follow the guidance of your heart and the faint light of the crystal in your hand." Li Yuan's answer was meaningful. "Remember, every step may be the key to **."

The four exchanged a tacit look and then set out on a new journey. As they went deeper, the outline of the cave gradually became blurred, and only the magic crystal in their hands became the only beacon, leading them through the endless darkness.

"The magical elements here are becoming increasingly strong, and I can almost touch the pulse of history." Lin Yu whispered softly, his voice echoing in the empty cave with a bit of awe.

Suddenly, gorgeous patterns began to emerge on the walls of the cave. They seemed to come alive and tell stories from ancient times. These patterns were not only beautiful, but also contained powerful magical powers, which forced the four people to be more vigilant.

"Look over there!" Li Yueran pointed ahead, where a strange creature was slowly approaching. Its body was made of transparent magical energy, and its shape was changeable, like a phoenix soaring in the sky, or a giant dragon lurking in the abyss.

"It's a guardian beast!" Su Yao quickly judged, "Be prepared to fight, but also be respectful, they may be the guardians of the ruins."

The four of them quickly adjusted their status and prepared for this unknown battle. However, to their surprise, the guardian beast did not attack, but slowly landed in front of them and looked at them with its eyes full of wisdom.

"It seems to be waiting for something." Zhao Hao said in a low voice.

At this moment, the magic crystal in Lin Yu's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, resonating with the energy in the guardian beast's body. The guardian beast let out a long cry, then turned into a stream of light and merged into Lin Yu's body.

"What's going on?" Lin Yu looked at his hands in surprise. He could feel an unprecedented power surging in his body.

"It seems that this is a recognition of you." Li Yuan explained with a smile, "The guardian beast chose you as the inheritor of its power."

The four continued to move forward, and as they went deeper, the scene inside the cave became more spectacular. They passed through a maze made of magic, crossed a river condensed by elemental power, and finally came to a huge stone door.

There were complex runes carved on the stone door, and each stroke contained profound magical meaning. Li Yueran studied these runes carefully, trying to find clues to open the stone door.

"These runes seem to be somehow connected to our magic crystals," she said suddenly, "perhaps we need to infuse the power of the crystals into them."

Upon hearing this, the four people pointed their magic crystals at the runes on the stone door. As powerful magical energy poured in, the runes on the stone door began to shine brightly, and finally burst open, revealing a passage leading to the unknown.

At the end of the passage was a huge stone chamber, in the center of which stood an ancient altar. On the altar was an exquisite box, the surface of which was covered with complex seal patterns, emitting an alluring mysterious light.

"Is this what we are looking for?" Zhao Hao asked.

"That's right." Li Yuan stepped forward and took out an ancient key from his arms. "This is the key to unlocking the seal of the box."

As the key was inserted and turned, the seal on the box gradually disintegrated, and a powerful magical force gushed out of it. The four people held their breath and waited, only to see a dazzling crystal slowly rise from the box and float in the air.

"Is this the legendary magic heart?" Su Yao exclaimed.

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded, "It contains endless magical power, enough to change the world."

The four carefully put away the magic heart, knowing that this was not just the end of a simple adventure, but also the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. They returned to the academy with this precious treasure and handed the magic heart to the dean.

The dean highly praised their performance: "You not only completed the task, but also demonstrated fearless courage and wisdom. You are the pride of the college!"

However, for the four of them, this is just the beginning. They know that there are more secrets in this world waiting for them to uncover and more challenges waiting for them to conquer. They will continue to move forward hand in hand and write their own legendary chapters in the unknown journey.
