Along the way, Lin Yu kept communicating with the system to learn more about the mysterious ruins. "System, what's in this mysterious ruins? Aren't there a bunch of guardian beasts waiting for us?"
The system replied: "Mysterious ruins are filled with unknown dangers and opportunities. They may be guarded by powerful monsters, or contain precious treasures and secret manuals. The host needs to explore the specific situation on his own."
Lin Yu curled his lips: "It's the same as not saying anything. Forget it, since I'm here anyway, the worst that can happen is to fight again."
After several days of trekking, Lin Yu and others finally arrived at the entrance of the mysterious ruins. It was a huge stone gate engraved with ancient runes, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, walked forward, and gently pushed the stone door. The stone door slowly opened, and a stale smell came in. "Everyone be careful, no one knows what's inside." Lin Yu said cautiously.
The group cautiously entered the ruins, which were dimly lit. The walls were inlaid with faintly glowing gemstones, barely illuminating the path ahead. As they walked, a fork in the road suddenly appeared ahead.
"Which way should we go?" Su Yao asked hesitantly.
Lin Yu asked the system in his heart: "System, please give me some hints, which way should I go?"
The system replied: "Both paths offer different opportunities and dangers. It is up to the host to decide which path to take. It is recommended that the host make a choice based on their own judgment and intuition."
Lin Yu shook his head helplessly: "You are really a hands-off boss, letting me decide everything." After that, he carefully observed the two roads and found that there seemed to be some strange footprints on the left road, while there was a faint mist on the right road.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu said: "Let's go to the left. These footprints may give us some clues." Everyone nodded and followed Lin Yu towards the road on the left.
After walking along this road for a while, they came to a huge cave. Inside the cave were some huge stone statues, each of which was carved to lifelike quality and exuded a majestic aura.
Lin Yu and the others had just entered the cave when suddenly the stone statues in the cave moved. They slowly opened their eyes and surrounded the crowd. "Oh no, these stone statues are guardian beasts!" Lin Yu shouted and immediately mobilized his supernatural powers to prepare for battle.
Just then, a system prompt sounded: "Triggered side quest: Defeat the guardian stone statue and protect the ancient treasure in the ruins. Reward for successful quest: Intermediate Power Enhancement Stone, 300 points; Penalty for failed quest: Deduct 200 points and a random piece of equipment."
Lin Yu looked at the surrounding guardian stone statues, and a fighting spirit surged in his heart: "You came at the right time. I was worried that I would not have the opportunity to improve my strength. Let's go together and kill these stone statues!"
Su Yao, Xiao Yi, and Lu Ming also took out their weapons and props and joined the battle. Lin Yu used his supernatural power, and rays of light shot towards the guardian stone statue. Although the guardian stone statues moved slowly, they were very powerful, and each attack could cause the ground to shake.
During the battle, Lin Yu discovered that the weak point of these guardian statues seemed to be their eyes. He found the right moment, concentrated his supernatural power, and shot at the eyes of a guardian statue. A flash of light passed, and the guardian statue's eyes were hit. It roared, its body shook a few times, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
"Everyone, attack their eyes!" Lin Yu shouted. Everyone followed suit, and the situation gradually reversed. After a fierce battle, the guardian stone statues were finally defeated and turned into a pile of rubble.
"Huh, I finally won." Lin Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
The system prompt sounded again: "Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest and obtaining the intermediate supernatural power strengthening stone and 300 points." Lin Yu excitedly took out the intermediate supernatural power strengthening stone. It was a stone emitting purple light and engraved with mysterious runes.
"Using intermediate supernatural power strengthening stones can increase the power and proficiency of supernatural powers." The system introduced.
Lin Yu did not hesitate and immediately used the intermediate power strengthening stone. In an instant, he felt that his power had been greatly improved, and the energy in his body surged more violently. "This feels great!" Lin Yu couldn't help but cheer.
Su Yao and others looked at Lin Yu's changes with surprise in their eyes. "Lin Yu, you have become stronger!" Su Yao said happily.
Lin Yu smiled and nodded: "That's right, we all need to become stronger. Next, let's continue exploring the ruins to see if we can find the ancient secret book."
The group continued searching in the cave and finally found a book emitting golden light in a hidden corner. Lin Yu walked forward and carefully picked up the book. The system prompt sounded: "An ancient secret book "Chaos Sutra" has been detected. After practicing, it can greatly improve your strength and unlock new superpowers."
Lin Yu excitedly opened the Chaos Sutra and began to study it carefully. As he read deeper, he felt as if he had opened a door to a new world, and many of the cultivation problems that had troubled him before were solved.
"That's great. With this secret book, our strength will definitely be improved." Lin Yu said excitedly to his companions.
However, just as they were immersed in joy, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the cave. Lin Yu's face changed, and a bad premonition surged in his heart: "Could it be that the big man and the thin man are chasing us again?"
