Chapter 745 You fight for it
The neighbors who were once familiar with each other are now fighting to the death for a few survival resources, completely disregarding their past friendships.
Qi Tongwei knew that the most urgent task was to find the five ancient artifacts first, so as to fundamentally solve the problem. He suppressed his inner grief and began to search every corner of the village with vague clues in ancient books. The first artifact is said to be an ancient bronze sword. Legend has it that it was once the guardian sword of the village. The sword body is engraved with mysterious runes and possesses powerful power. Qi Tongwei carefully searched in the old site of the village's ancestral hall, which is now in ruins and overgrown with weeds. He ignored the bricks and stones that cut his palms and struggled to explore in the ruins. Finally, he found a secret compartment under a stone slab. The bronze sword lay quietly in it. The sword body was dim, but the runes faintly exuded a mysterious atmosphere.
However, just as he picked up the bronze sword, several villagers rushed over, their eyes full of greed and madness. "Qi Tongwei, hand over the sword! This must be a good thing, with it we can survive!" one of the villagers shouted. Qi Tongwei held the sword tightly and said loudly: "This is the key to saving the village, I can't give it to you!" But these villagers had lost their minds and didn't listen to the dissuasion at all. They rushed to snatch the bronze sword. Qi Tongwei had no choice but to deal with them. He had to protect the artifact and not hurt these former villagers. He was in a dilemma for a while.
After finally getting rid of these villagers, Qi Tongwei continued to look for the next artifact. According to ancient books, the second artifact is a bronze mirror that can reflect the truth and evil in the world. He remembered that there was an ancient well to the east of the village. Legend has it that it was related to mysterious powers. Maybe the bronze mirror was there. When he rushed to the well, he found that the well water had dried up and there was a foul smell around. Qi Tongwei carefully went down to the bottom of the well along the wall and groped in the mud. Suddenly, his hand touched a hard object, and when he dug up the soil, it was the bronze mirror. Although the mirror surface of the bronze mirror was covered with dirt, a ray of light flashed at the moment he wiped it, and the mirror seemed to show the scene of the village shrouded in darkness and the source of evil hidden in the depths of the darkness.
Just when Qi Tongwei was about to leave with the bronze mirror, the well mouth was blocked by several large rocks. It turned out that several people with ill intentions wanted to trap him at the bottom of the well and monopolize the artifact. Qi Tongwei was furious, but he knew that he could not panic at this moment. He calmed down and observed the environment at the bottom of the well. He found some protruding stones on the wall of the well, which seemed to be used as a foothold for climbing. He carefully tied the bronze mirror to his back and began to climb up with difficulty. Every step was full of danger. If he was not careful, he would fall to the bottom of the well, but he finally climbed out of the well mouth with his tenacious perseverance and sense of responsibility to the village.
At this time, the chaos in the village had reached an uncontrollable level. A fire was burning in a corner of the village, and thick smoke was billowing into the sky. People were crying and shouting for help. Qi Tongwei looked at the tragic scene with grief and determination in his eyes. He knew that he had to speed up, otherwise the village would be completely destroyed.
The third artifact is a mysterious bead, which is said to be hidden in an ancient tomb west of the village. The ancient tomb is regarded as a forbidden area. It is gloomy and terrifying on weekdays. Now in this chaotic situation, it is even more daunting. But Qi Tongwei did not hesitate at all and resolutely walked towards the direction of the ancient tomb. When he stepped into the ancient tomb, a chill came over him, and the surrounding area was filled with green ghost fire, which made people shudder. The tomb passage was full of traps, spikes popped out from both sides of the wall from time to time, and there were quicksand traps on the ground. If you are not careful, you will be buried by quicksand. Qi Tongwei moved forward cautiously, relying on his past experience and keen intuition to avoid danger again and again. Finally, in the deepest part of the ancient tomb, he found the bead emitting a faint light. The bead was suspended in the air, surrounded by a mysterious energy field, as if protecting itself. Qi Tongwei stretched out his hand and slowly approached the bead. The moment his fingertips touched the bead, a powerful force surged into his body, making him feel dizzy, but he still held the bead tightly and put it into his pocket.
While searching for the fourth artifact, Qi Tongwei met an unexpected person, Liu Er. Liu Er had taken the lead in opposing him before, but now he stood in front of him with a face full of shame. "Qi Tongwei, I was wrong. I was blinded by fear. Now I want to help you save the village." Liu Er said sincerely. Qi Tongwei looked at him with mixed feelings, but he needed manpower at the moment, so he nodded. The fourth artifact was an ancient jade pendant, which was said to have the power to purify evil. It was said to be near the ruins of the village's meeting hall. The two came to the ruins together and searched carefully in the ruins. Finally, under a cornerstone, they found the jade pendant. The jade pendant was flawless white, with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns carved on it, emitting a soft light.
However, at the moment they picked up the jade pendant, a huge black monster broke out from the ground. The monster was shaped like a Pixiu, and it exuded a strong evil breath. Its appearance made the air around it heavy. The monster opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Qi Tongwei and Liu Er. Qi Tongwei quickly put the three artifacts aside and fought with the monster with a bronze sword. Liu Er was looking for the monster's weakness and trying to assist Qi Tongwei. The monster was very powerful, and every attack made the ground tremble. Qi Tongwei gradually felt powerless. But he saw the village on the side and thought of the villagers who were still suffering, and an unyielding power surged in his heart. He saw the gap between the monster's attacks and stabbed the monster's eyes with a bronze sword. The monster let out a painful roar and the offensive weakened. Liu Er took the opportunity to pick up a big stone and smashed it on the monster's head. The monster shook a few times, fell to the ground with a bang, and disappeared into a cloud of black smoke.
After some twists and turns, only the last artifact was left. Ancient books mentioned that the fifth artifact was an ancient tripod that had the power to seal evil and might be hidden in the back mountain of the village. The back mountain was usually sparsely populated, and now it was full of unknown dangers. Qi Tongwei and Liu Er dragged their tired bodies and walked towards the back mountain. Along the way, they encountered all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, steep mountain roads, dense thorn bushes, and poisonous snakes and beasts hidden in the dark, but they did not give up. Finally, in a cave on the top of the mountain, they found the ancient tripod. The body of the tripod was engraved with complex patterns and runes, and a mysterious power fluctuation emanated from the tripod.
