Chapter 217: The Deep Labyrinth of the New Ruins

 Chapter 217: The Deep Maze of the New Ruins

As the morning mist gradually dissipated, Lin Yu, Su Yao and Zhao Hao set out on a journey to explore the new ruins. This ruins is hidden between the mountains, as if it is a secret deliberately hidden by nature. They passed through the winding mountain road, along which there were lush jungles, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and leaves. Finally, in the depths of a dense forest, they found the entrance to the cave covered by a huge rock.

The rocks were covered with ancient runes, which flashed with a faint blue light, as if whispering a thousand-year-old secret. Su Yao stared at the runes, with wisdom flashing in her eyes. She opened her red lips and chanted an ancient spell in a low voice. As the spell echoed, the runes on the rocks seemed to be activated, shining brightly, and then slowly moved to both sides, revealing a passage leading to an unknown world.

"It seems we have found the right way to open it." Su Yao said with a smile, her eyes full of confidence and expectation.

The three of them stepped into the cave, and a cold breath hit them. They were surrounded by darkness, and only a few rays of light from the cave entrance barely illuminated the front. They moved forward carefully, and every step was extremely cautious, for fear of disturbing the unknown creatures sleeping in the cave.

The cave had a complex structure, with crisscrossing paths, like a huge maze. They walked along a seemingly spacious passage, but soon encountered the first fork in the road. Su Yao took out a map, which she had drawn based on ancient records and her own research. However, in this intricate cave, the map seemed to have lost its guiding role.

"It seems that we can only rely on intuition and judgment." Su Yao shook her head helplessly and put away the map.

After discussing for a while, the three decided to head towards the passage on the left. As they went deeper, the temperature in the cave gradually dropped, and the air was filled with a damp and moldy smell. Suddenly, a low roar came from the darkness, making the three people feel nervous.

"Is it a beast or something else?" Lin Yu tightly gripped the weapon in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

"I don't know, but we must stay vigilant." Su Yao said in a deep voice, and at the same time signaled everyone to slow down and try not to make any noise.

However, the roar seemed to be getting closer and closer, accompanied by heavy footsteps, and a strong sense of crisis enveloped the three people. They quickened their pace, trying to get rid of the pursuit of this unknown force. After a tense run and evasion, they finally got rid of the entanglement of that force, but their hearts were full of doubts and uneasiness.

Continuing forward, they came to a more spacious cave space. The light here was slightly brighter, and there was a clear stream flowing in the middle, and the stream water jumped between the rocks, making a pleasant sound. There were some strange plants growing beside the stream, which emitted a faint light, adding a bit of vitality to this dark cave.

"The environment here is really peculiar." Lin Yu exclaimed. He squatted down and observed the plants carefully, trying to find some useful clues from them.

"That's true, but we must also be careful." Su Yao reminded, "These plants may contain unknown dangers."

Just as they were about to continue exploring, a strong wave of magic came from deep in the cave. This wave was so powerful and mysterious that it shocked the three of them. They looked at each other, their eyes full of determination.

"It seems that we are getting closer and closer to the core area of ​​the ruins." Zhao Hao said in a deep voice, "No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, we must persevere."

The three of them followed the direction of the magic fluctuations and soon came to a huge cave. This cave was more magnificent than any of the previous ones, and the entrance of the cave radiated a dazzling magical light, as if it was a portal to another world.

"Is this the core area of ​​the new ruins?" Lin Yu looked at the dazzling light, his heart full of anticipation and curiosity.

"That should be it." Su Yao nodded, "We are about to uncover the final secret of this ancient relic."

The three of them took a deep breath, took a firm step, and stepped into the cave full of unknowns and miracles...
