 Chapter 228: Go deep into the maze and explore the secrets of the soul

Under the shining light of the "Heart of Elements", Lin Yu, Su Yao and Zhao Hao seemed to be wearing the robes of brave warriors, and their strength and will were infinitely magnified in the depths of the ancient ruins. This relic, like a sleeping giant, hides countless unsolved mysteries, waiting for brave explorers to unveil it.

Going deeper into the maze, every step is full of unknowns and challenges. The structure of the maze is intricate, as if it is a maze intertwined with nature and human wisdom, both exquisite and dangerous. The three of them kept their formation tacitly, with Lin Yu leading the way, Su Yao in the middle, and Zhao Hao responsible for guarding the rear, their figures flickering in the dim passage.

"These murals are not just decorations." Su Yao stopped and gently ran her fingers across a wall painted with strange creatures and scenes. "They seem to be telling ancient stories, leading us to the core of the ruins."

Zhao Hao nodded in agreement. He narrowed his eyes and tried to find clues from the mural: "Look, this mural seems to depict some kind of ritual, and the center of the ritual is exactly the goal of our trip - the Soul Stone."

Lin Yu was more concerned about the practical aspects: "No matter how the murals guide us, the first thing we need to solve is how to get through this maze. I suggest that we mark the paths we have walked to prevent getting lost."

The three of them immediately took action, using the magic marking stones they carried with them to leave marks at key nodes. As they went deeper, they found that the structure of the maze became more and more complicated, but with wisdom and courage, they gradually approached the core of the maze.

At this moment, a low chanting voice broke the silence of the maze. The voice seemed to come from ancient times, with an irresistible magic that made the three people's heartbeats accelerate.

"Is he the guardian of the ruins?" Zhao Hao asked in a low voice, his eyes flashing with both nervousness and excitement.

"No matter who it is, we have to be careful." Lin Yu tightly grasped the staff in his hand, ready to deal with possible crises at any time.

Su Yao closed her eyes and listened, trying to capture more information from the singing: "This singing... seems to be guiding us."

Following the guidance of the chanting, the three came to a hidden chamber. The chamber was ablaze with light, and in the center was a soft blue gemstone floating - the Soul Stone they were looking for. However, the gemstone was surrounded by complex runes and traps, and the slightest mistake would trigger a fatal crisis.

"The Soul Stone is indeed worthy of its reputation." Lin Yu exclaimed, but then frowned, "These runes are much more complicated than any runes we have encountered before."

"We can't do it by force." Su Yao analyzed calmly, "We must find a way to crack the rune, otherwise not only will we fail to obtain the Soul Stone, we may also die here."

Zhao Hao looked around and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Look, there is an ancient magic book over there, maybe it can provide us with clues."

The three quickly flipped through the books and found that they recorded an ancient magic language and rune analysis method. After some effort, they finally cracked some runes, but the most critical runes were still elusive.

"These runes seem to be closely connected with the history of the ruins." Lin Yu pondered, "We may need more historical knowledge to fully unlock their secrets."

Just when the three were at a loss, the wall of the secret room suddenly opened slowly, revealing a passage leading to a deeper place. At the end of the passage, it seemed that there were more secrets and answers hidden.

"It seems that our test has just begun." Su Yao clenched her fists, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

The three of them did not hesitate and resolutely embarked on a new journey. They knew that only by overcoming numerous difficulties could they uncover the secret of the ruins and gain the power to protect the world.

As they went deeper, they encountered more challenges and dangers. But every setback and failure made them more determined and united. Under the protection of the "Heart of Elements", they continued to break through themselves and headed towards the core of the ruins - the Soul Stone.

Finally, in a brilliant blue light, they finally stood in front of the Soul Stone. Facing this powerful force, the three had no greed or selfish desires, only a firm belief in protecting the world. They knew that only those who truly possessed this power could become the guardian of this world.

And at this moment, they are ready.
