The ruins shook violently, and stone chips fell to the ground with a dull sound. Lin Yu hugged the ancient book that was emitting a faint light in his hand, anxious and frantic, thinking about how to escape.
"System, this broken place is about to collapse, think of a solution quickly!" Lin Yu called out frantically in his heart, his tone full of anxiety and helplessness.
The system's unchanging, cold, mechanical voice echoed slowly: "Current danger detected. It is recommended that the host use the newly acquired 'Primary Space Jump Talisman' to randomly teleport to a safe location."
Lin Yu almost fainted from anger: "Random? Aren't you trying to trick me? What if it gets to the bottom of the cliff?"
The system responded without emotion: "The probability is extremely small, please use it with confidence."
Lin Yu rolled his eyes and complained secretly: "I don't believe you, your system is very bad." But there was no other way at the moment. He gritted his teeth, took out the talisman that emitted a mysterious light from the system space, and shouted: "Everyone hold on to me!"
Su Yao, Xiao Yi, and Lu Ming hurried over and grabbed the corner of Lin Yu's clothes tightly. Just when the ruins were about to collapse completely, Lin Yu activated the talisman, a dazzling light flashed, and everyone disappeared from the spot.
"Huh..." Lin Yu felt dizzy and when he came to his senses, he found himself in a quiet valley, surrounded by green trees, flowers and birds singing, which was completely different from the thrill of the ruins just now.
"Where is this?" Su Yao rubbed her head and looked around in confusion, with the fear of surviving a disaster still lingering in her eyes.
Xiao Yi sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief: "Who cares? As long as it's not in the ruins that are about to collapse, it's fine. I almost lost my life."
Lu Ming stood up excitedly and looked around: "Maybe there are some treasures here. We can take this opportunity to look for them."
Lin Yu smiled helplessly and cast his eyes on the ancient book in his hand. Just as he opened the first page, the system prompt sounded in his mind again: "Congratulations to the host for completing the task of exploring the mysterious ruins. The reward of the advanced supernatural power training manual has been sent to the system space. It is detected that the ancient book contains special energy, which can be used to open hidden tasks. Do you accept it?"
Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he responded without hesitation: "Accept!"
"A hidden quest has begun – search for the five 'Spiritual Orbs' scattered throughout this valley. Collecting them will activate the ultimate supernatural power inherited from the ancient tome. This quest is limited to five days. Successful quest reward: A mysterious SS-level supernatural power upgrade item. Failed quest penalty: 1,000 points deducted, and one of the host's supernatural powers will be randomly sealed for one week."
Lin Yu took a breath. This punishment sounded too harsh. "System, aren't you trying to kill me? This punishment is too exaggerated."
The system responded calmly: "High risk, high reward. Please make your decision carefully."
Lin Yu curled his lips: "How can I not choose? Okay, isn't it just looking for beads? I don't believe I can't find it."
He told everyone the task. Su Yao frowned and looked worried: "Five Lingyun Pearls, this valley is so big, how can we find them?" She subconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes, her eyes full of uneasiness, and she was anxious about the difficulty of completing the task.
However, Xiao Yi waved his hand nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, are we afraid that we can't find a few beads? Just treat it as a treasure hunt game." He stood up, patted the dust off his body, a confident smile on his face, and was full of anticipation for the treasure hunt that was about to begin.
Lu Ming pushed his glasses and said after thinking for a moment: "I think we can first analyze the clues in the ancient books. Maybe we can find some clues." As he said, he moved closer to Lin Yu and studied the ancient books with him.
At this moment, a cute little squirrel jumped down from the tree with a sparkling bead in its mouth. Lin Yu's eyes lit up: "Could this be the Lingyun Orb?" He was about to reach out to grab it, but the little squirrel jumped away flexibly and squeaked at them twice, as if provoking them.
"Hey, this little guy is quite naughty." Xiao Yi said with a smile, "Look, I'm going to catch it." As he said that, he used his wind power to try to trap the little squirrel. But the little squirrel was very fast and moved freely among the trees. Xiao Yi's attack could not hurt it at all.
Seeing this, Lin Yu had an idea: "Xiao Yi, don't try to catch it hard. Let's lure it with food." As he said this, he took out some nuts from his backpack and put them on the ground. The little squirrel smelled the fragrance, hesitated for a moment, and then ran over cautiously. Just when it was about to get the nuts, Lin Yu was quick-witted and grabbed it.
"Haha, I caught it!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly, and took the bead out of the squirrel's mouth. It was indeed the Lingyun Pearl. As the bead came into his hand, a warm energy spread throughout his body. Lin Yu felt that his supernatural powers seemed to have become more active.
"Great, we found the first one!" Su Yao also jumped up happily, and the worry in her eyes was temporarily replaced by joy.
Just as they were happy about finding the first Lingyun Orb, a noisy sound of footsteps and voices suddenly came from not far away. Lin Yu and others immediately became alert and hid behind a big tree nearby.
"Are there really treasures in this valley? We have been looking for a long time and found nothing." A rough voice came.
"Of course there is. I've found out everything. It is said that there is an ancient supernatural power inheritance hidden here. As long as we find it, we can dominate the supernatural world!" another shrill voice responded.
Lin Yu and the others looked at each other, thinking in their hearts that it was not good, it seemed that trouble was coming again...
