Chapter 536 7 Color Smoke

"Do you think this is the end?" The leader laughed sinisterly. Lin Ze frowned: "Who are you?" The mysterious man sneered: "We have been chasing that treasure, and now you have got there first and ruined our plan."

Lin Ze tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, and the woman was also ready to cast a spell. But the mysterious man's power was beyond imagination. After a few moves, Lin Ze and the woman gradually showed signs of defeat. Just when they were in despair, the old man with a celestial appearance suddenly appeared. The old man waved his hands, and a light curtain blocked the mysterious man's attack.

"You guys go, leave this to me." The old man said calmly. Lin Ze knew that it was useless to stay here, so he pulled the woman away quickly. After they walked away, the old man sighed and said, "Cause and effect cycle, I hope this matter can be completely resolved this time." After that, he turned around and confronted the mysterious man. Lin Ze and the woman finally returned home safely and lived a stable life.

However, the peaceful days did not last long. One night, Lin Ze suddenly heard a call in his dream, and the voice seemed to come from the place where he fought for the treasure. After waking up, he felt inexplicably uneasy. The woman also felt that the atmosphere around her was different, as if a dark force was quietly spreading.

Lin Ze looked firmly at the familiar yet mysterious land ahead, and secretly made up his mind to go back and find out what was going on. The woman beside him nodded slightly, indicating that she was willing to go with him.

When they stepped into this old place again, a strong and suffocating evil spirit hit them in the face. The air around them seemed to be corroded by this evil spirit, becoming heavy and oppressive. The original peaceful and tranquil scene no longer existed, replaced by a gloomy and terrifying scene full of weird atmosphere.

Lin Ze frowned, recalling the thrilling battle between the powerful old man and the enemy that day. Although the old man was extremely powerful, he failed to completely destroy the enemy in the end, and only used all his strength to seal it here. However, now it seems that the seal has been broken, and the evil forces that were once imprisoned have been able to see the light of day again and wreak havoc on the world again.

Just when the two were at a loss, suddenly, a dazzling light flashed across the sky. Looking closely, it turned out to be a crystal clear jade fragment falling from the sky, like a meteor. The jade fragment emitted a soft and warm light. Strangely, when the light touched the evil spirits around, the evil spirits retreated as if they had encountered their nemesis. For a time, the spread of the evil spirits was effectively curbed.

Lin Ze's heart moved, and he keenly realized that this piece of precious jade fragment was definitely not an ordinary thing. He thought to himself: "Could it be that this is a part of the legendary treasure that was scattered back then? If all the fragments can be collected, maybe we can really use the power of the treasure to completely eradicate these evil forces!" Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the woman beside him, his eyes flashing with determination and expectation.

The woman nodded in understanding, and the two smiled at each other, took steps without hesitation, and resolutely embarked on the difficult journey to find the fragments of the precious jade. In this journey full of unknowns and dangers, what awaits them are not only countless unpredictable crises and challenges, but also a glimmer of hope to save the people of the world.

Lin Ze and the woman carefully searched for clues along the direction where the jade fragments fell.

Along the way, they encountered many traps.

Sometimes they were sharp spikes hidden under the ground, which could pierce the soles of one's feet if one was not careful; sometimes they were arrows suddenly shot from the woods on both sides, and fortunately they were able to dodge them thanks to their quick reactions.

Not long after, they arrived in front of a cave that looked quite old. The cave stood alone, looking a bit eerie. The outside of the cave was covered with dense, strangely shaped runes, which emitted a dark and cold light, as if warning those who approached not to step into it easily.

When they stood at the entrance of the cave, hesitating, suddenly, a fox with blazing flames all over its body rushed out of the cave. The fox actually spoke human language: "This cave is full of dangers. If you want to enter and find the jade fragments, you must pass my test first!" Before he finished speaking, Lin Ze drew the sword at his waist without hesitation, and the sword shone with cold light in the sun. At the same time, the woman beside him also quickly performed the magic she was good at, and for a moment, she was radiant and impressive.

The two sides immediately launched a fierce and bitter battle. The fox was agile and flexible, and it would occasionally spit out hot fireballs from its mouth to attack the two. Lin Ze used his superb swordsmanship to resolve the fox's attacks again and again, and the woman's magic rained down on the fox. After an arduous fight, the fox finally ran out of energy and turned into a dazzling flame, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye. Almost at the same time, the cave door that had been tightly closed began to slowly open, and a damp and cold breath came to their faces.

The two took a deep breath and walked into the cave carefully. The cave was filled with thick fog, and the vision was greatly restricted. They could only barely see the surroundings a few steps away. They held hands and groped forward step by step. As they walked, they suddenly found a piece of precious jade fragment in the corner in front of them, which was flashing a faint light. Seeing this scene, the two of them couldn't help but feel ecstatic and hurriedly ran towards the fragment. However, just as they were about to reach out to touch the fragment, they heard a dull sound from the ground, and then a large number of black slime monsters gushed out from the ground like a tide.

Faced with this sudden situation, Lin Ze and the woman were not afraid, and immediately stood back to back and closely together to fight the enemy. Lin Ze swung the long sword in his hand like the wind, and each sword accurately pierced the vital parts of the slime monster; the woman's magic also exerted great power at the critical moment, repelling the slime monsters that tried to approach. After a bloody battle, they finally successfully eliminated all the slime monsters and successfully obtained the precious jade fragment.

At this moment, holding the fragments in their hands, Lin Ze and the woman's eyes were full of determination and confidence. They knew that as long as they could collect all the fragments, they would be able to defeat the evil forces and save the people of the world. With this new hope, the two of them took a short rest and then set off on the journey to the next place where the fragments of the precious jade might be hidden.

They went on their way, trying to find out the whereabouts of the jade fragments based on some ancient records and folk legends. One day, they came to a mysterious valley filled with colorful smoke, and various phantoms flickered in the smoke.
