"Time is running out. We must find the secret place that this item can unlock as soon as possible."

Lin Hao lowered his head and took a look at the diamond-shaped stone in his hand, obviously unwilling to give up.

After saying that, he moved and quickly flew towards the northeast of the ancient ruins.

In this way, Lin Hao shuttled through the aisles of the temples without stopping, following the flashing rune fluctuations of the diamond-shaped stone.

Even though there were occasional cheers of surprise from people who had found treasures in the nearby stone hall, Lin Hao paid no attention to them.

About half an hour later.

With the guidance of the diamond-shaped stone, Lin Hao finally arrived at his destination.

This should be the core area of ​​the ancient ruins.

In the sight, an extremely large ancient stone palace, like the head of the palace group, stands in the center of many palaces.

This stone palace is extremely huge. From a distance, it looks like a mountain, and it is filled with a majestic aura that shocks people!

At this time, many figures had already gathered outside the hall.

Except for the contestant with the diamond-shaped stone body, the other guys have obviously discovered Clue and are waiting here.

At a glance, there were densely packed figures, about a hundred in number.

If everyone rushes in at that time, fierce competition will be inevitable!

However, the metal door of the stone hall was tightly closed, but it was covered with marks of swords and knives.

It seems that it has been destroyed by these people just now, but it is still standing strong.

"Since everyone is willing to gather here, I will speak frankly."

At this time, a young man in white walked to the front of the stone hall gate.

He looked at everyone present with a sharp gaze and said clearly, "According to my guess, to open this door, we must gather all the keys, which is this one."

After saying this, he flipped his palm lightly and took out a diamond-shaped stone from the storage ring.

Its shape is almost exactly the same as Lin Hao's, except for the mysterious runes engraved on it, which are slightly different.

Upon seeing this, the six contestants in the crowd were stunned for a moment, staring at the diamond-shaped stone in the white-clothed young man's hand with surprised expressions.

There is no doubt that they also have this thing.

Because I had only come here based on the strength of the flashing runes, I had never imagined that this useless stone could actually be the key to unlocking the mechanism!

At this moment, after hearing what the young man in white said, they suddenly understood, and their eyes flashed with a burning look.

But in order to ensure that the secret key would not be snatched away by others, the six people in the crowd chose to remain silent for the time being.

"I believe everyone knows that there is a huge light curtain in the space of the ancient battlefield. Every once in a while, it will automatically shrink its range."

Seeing that those guys who had the secret keys were indifferent, the young man in white frowned slightly.

His tone became slightly lowered, and he continued: "According to the current speed of the light curtain, it will reach this area in half an hour."

"If you don't buy some time, even if there are treasures inside, I'm afraid no one will be able to get them by then."

"So, why not take this opportunity and give it a try?!"

The young man in white had bright eyes and said in a clear voice, "I know you all have concerns. To ensure that those who have the secret key have priority in entering the palace to search for treasures, all irrelevant people please step back a hundred feet."

Upon hearing this, the crowd suddenly became excited.

Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with the so-called priority of the young man in white.

However, they did not have the key and did not know how to refute it.

"Well, instead of dragging it out, it's better to give in."

At this time, a hearty voice rang out from the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, a burly man was seen retreating a hundred feet away.

The man was wearing the uniform of Tianyan Academy, had broad shoulders and carried a longbow.

Judging from his appearance, it was Raymond!

"Third brother!"

Not far away, Lin Hao, who was hiding beside the wall, was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he moved, stepped over with the Dragon Step, and soon appeared next to Raymond.

"Boss! It's you!"

Raymond's face turned pale, and when he saw the person who suddenly appeared next to him was Lin Hao, he immediately shouted in ecstasy.

"Where are the second and fourth brothers?"

Lin Hao smiled faintly and nodded, then asked.

"I don't know either. As soon as we entered the ancient battlefield a few days ago, everyone dispersed."

Raymond shook his head and said calmly: "I haven't met you until now, and I don't know what their current situation is."

Lin Hao said calmly: "It's okay. With the abilities of those two guys, they may have harmed many contestants."

Hearing this, Raymond was stunned, then grinned and said, "Boss is right."

At this time, seeing some people retreating a hundred feet away, those contestants who did not have the secret key, after a slight hesitation, also began to act one after another.

After a moment.

In front of the stone hall gate, there were only seven people left out of the originally dense crowd.

There are seven people, five men and two women.

All of them are contestants who have secret keys.

However, the young man in white's slightly frowned brows never relaxed.

Because, according to his estimation, the structure of the secret key requires at least eight diamond-shaped stones.

But there are only seven people at the moment, which means one is missing.

Could it be that one of them has two diamond-shaped stones?

In response to this, the young man in white did not ask directly, but said: "Now, please take out your own secret keys."

As long as everyone takes it out together, everything will be clear at a glance.

Hearing this, the six contestants did not hesitate and reached out to touch the storage ring. A diamond-shaped stone flashed in each of their hands.

Then, the young man in white, with a trial mentality, pieced together the diamond-shaped stone bodies of the other six people.

However, the ending was exactly as he had guessed, there was still a piece missing to complete the secret key.

Seeing this, the other six people were also slightly surprised.

After all this work, the last piece is still missing!

So what should we do next?

Everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere seemed to become a little awkward all of a sudden.

"It will take at least an hour for the shrinking light curtain to arrive here. Let's continue waiting."

The young man in white coughed, looked at the six people around him, and suggested with a smile.

"All right."

The six of them looked at each other and nodded with regretful expressions.

In this situation, we can only wait where we are.

Otherwise, if he left, the person who possessed the last diamond-shaped stone would happen to arrive here and would miss the opportunity.

"What a pity, there's still a piece missing."

In the crowd behind, Raymond shook his head and sighed, "I don't know who got it."

Beside him, Lin Hao raised the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly: "That guy is me."

"I?"

Hearing this, Raymond was stunned for a moment.

He reacted quickly, staring at Lin Hao in surprise, and said excitedly: "Boss, the last secret key is with you?!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of many contestants present lit up.

For a moment, all surprised glances were cast at Lin Hao, with ecstasy in their eyes!
