The stone door slowly opened, and a gust of wind, mixed with the smell of decay and mystery, blew in, making everyone's clothes rustle. Lin Yu subconsciously protected Su Yao behind him, his sword clenched tightly, his knuckles white. His heartbeat accelerated sharply, hoping that there would be clues to the secret key of spring behind the door, but also worried about facing a more terrible crisis. "Everyone, be careful. The situation behind the door is unknown. Don't be careless." His voice was low and firm, still clearly audible in the whistling wind.
Su Yao hid behind Lin Yu, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly with both hands. Her breathing was rapid and disordered, and every breath of wind seemed like a hidden danger signal. "Lin Yu, I'm so scared..." Her voice was trembling, and fear was following her like a shadow. But seeing Lin Yu's determined back, she mustered up her courage and tried to calm herself down. She knew that in this dangerous and strange place, she could not become a burden to Lin Yu.
Xiao Yi stood aside, the weapon in his hand trembling slightly, a mixture of excitement and anger. "Finally, the mystery will be unveiled. No matter what lies beyond this door, I will not retreat! Luo Chen, just watch! I will definitely avenge you!" His eyes burned with a fiery flame. The desire for revenge made him forget his fear. He only wanted to break through all obstacles and find the flaws of the dark forces.
You Qianxue and Bing Ling'er huddled together, Bing Ling'er's body trembling like a sieve, tears welling in her eyes. "Sister, I'm scared..." Her voice was tinged with tears, and she seemed particularly helpless in the raging wind. You Qianxue gently stroked her hair, forcing herself to remain calm. "Don't be afraid, sister. I'm here with you and everyone else. We'll definitely get through this." Although she was also filled with fear, she had to be strong for her sister.
Lu Ming pushed his glasses up, his eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation. He knew full well that the secret behind this door might determine their fate, and indeed the very existence of the world. "I hope we can find the key to the key to Spring here, or all our efforts will be in vain," he prayed silently, carefully observing the movements behind the door, trying to sniff out a clue from the mysterious aura.
Master Fu Hai clasped his hands together and chanted something, attempting to dispel the ominous aura surrounding him with Buddhist teachings. "Amitabha, may the Buddha bless us and grant us the strength and wisdom to overcome these difficulties." His face was pale, sweat beaded on his forehead, and worry surged within him like a tide, but he firmly believed that the power of Buddhism could protect everyone.
The man in red stood silently behind the crowd like a shadow, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's, taking in every detail. His hand remained on his weapon, ready to respond to any emergency. He held a single conviction: to protect everyone, no matter the cost. The memory of fighting alongside Luo Chen recurred in his mind, becoming the source of his strength to persevere.
The mysterious man's brow furrowed, his eyes etched with solemnity and contemplation. He stared silently at the stone door, secretly speculating on the secrets behind it. "This dark force's layout is so complex. The challenges behind this door are probably far beyond our imagination." He pondered silently, a strong sense of crisis welling up within him. But he also knew that retreat would only allow the dark forces to succeed.
Everyone slowly walked through the stone door. The space behind it was dark and oppressive. Strange lights flickered on the surrounding walls, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them from the darkness. The ground was uneven and covered with strange patterns. Every step had to be taken with caution, fearing that a hidden mechanism might be triggered.
Suddenly, a huge abyss appeared in front of them. The abyss was filled with black fog and had no bottom. From time to time, bursts of eerie laughter and strange roars came from the fog, which made people shudder.
"This... what is this place?" Bing Ling'er asked in horror, her body pressed tightly against You Qianxue.
Lin Yu frowned and looked at the abyss carefully: "This abyss looks very dangerous. We must be careful. Perhaps the clue to the secret key of spring is on the other side of the abyss."
At this moment, a stone bridge suddenly rose from the abyss. Made of black stone, it exuded an icy aura. There were no railings on either side of the bridge, and below was endless darkness, making it difficult to approach.
"It seems this is our only way forward." Lu Ming said with a hint of hesitation in his voice.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and took a step forward: "I'll go over and explore the way first. Everyone follow me and be careful."
Su Yao held Lin Yu's hand tightly: "Lin Yu, I'm with you." Her eyes were full of determination. No matter how many dangers lay ahead, she didn't want to be separated from Lin Yu.
Xiao Yi also strode forward: "Count me in, I don't believe this damn place can stop us!"
Everyone stepped onto the stone bridge carefully. With every step, the bridge creaked, as if it would break at any moment. The fog in the abyss grew thicker and thicker, making it almost impossible to see the road ahead.
Suddenly, the stone bridge shook violently, and everyone almost fell. Then, countless black arms stretched out from the abyss and grabbed at everyone.
"Be careful!" Lin Yu shouted, quickly drew out his sword, and slashed at the black arms. Su Yao also quickly condensed her spiritual power, releasing rays of light, trying to dispel these evil arms.
Xiao Yi waved his weapon and roared loudly: "Come on! I will destroy all of you monsters!" His heart was filled with anger, and he vented his hatred for the dark forces on these black arms.
You Qianxue and Bing Ling'er coordinated their efforts, releasing their icy spiritual energy to freeze the approaching black arm. Bing Ling'er's face was pale, and her spiritual energy was greatly depleted, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, "Sister, I will try my best!"
