Lu Ming's fingertips trembled slightly, and beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks from his forehead, dripping onto the stone tablet before disappearing in an instant. His gaze was fixed on the ancient symbols on the stone tablet, as if he wanted to carve these mysterious patterns into the depths of his soul. With each symbol he deciphered, his heartbeat quickened, and an indescribable tension overwhelmed him like a tide.
"This... the contents recorded here seem to be related to an ancient legend." Lu Ming's voice trembled slightly, breaking the dead silence. Everyone's eyes instantly focused on him, their eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness.
Lin Yu took a step forward, his hand unconsciously tightening around the hilt, his knuckles turning white from the force. "Lu Ming, what exactly is written on it? Is it related to the Secret Key of Spring?" His voice was low, but it couldn't hide his inner anxiety. Luo Chen's sacrifice weighed heavily on his heart, making him desperate to find the Secret Key of Spring and complete their unfinished mission.
Su Yao stood beside Lin Yu nervously, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes. Her eyes were filled with fear and expectation, and her lips trembled slightly: "Yes, Lu Ming, tell us quickly." She was afraid of hearing bad news, but she was eager to find hope to get out of the predicament. This contradictory mood made her feel uneasy.
Xiao Yi's brow furrowed, his eyes burning with a fervent desire for revenge and a determination to uncover the truth. "Stop keeping us in suspense! Whatever it is, we can face it!" he declared, his voice echoing through the mist with an undeniable power. Luo Chen's departure had filled him with rage and resentment. He desperately wanted to avenge his friend, and any clue was a driving force.
You Qianxue and Bing Ling'er cuddled together, Bing Ling'er's body still trembling slightly. She clutched her sister's hand tightly, her eyes filled with fear. "Sister, I'm so scared..." Her voice was tinged with tears. In this strange and unknown place, she felt utterly helpless. You Qianxue gently patted her hand, trying to calm herself. "Don't be afraid, sister, we're here." Although she was also filled with anxiety, she knew she had to be strong and provide support for her sister.
The man in red stood quietly by, his eyes like a bottomless lake, unfathomable. His hand remained on his weapon, ever vigilant. He held a single conviction: to protect everyone, no matter what lay ahead. The memory of fighting alongside Luo Chen resurfaced in his mind, becoming the source of his strength.
The mysterious man's brow furrowed, his eyes revealing a solemn and thoughtful expression. He stared at Lu Ming quietly, secretly pondering the secret on the stone tablet. "This dark force's layout is so complex, this secret is probably not simple," he thought silently, a sense of foreboding welling up in his heart.
Lu Ming took a deep breath, calmed himself, and continued to decipher the inscription on the stone tablet. As he deciphered, an ancient and mysterious legend gradually emerged. It turned out that this strange land was once a place where the forces of light and darkness converged, and the Secret Key of Spring was the key to maintaining the balance between them. Now, the forces of darkness attempted to disrupt this balance and rule the world. They must find the Secret Key of Spring before the dark forces did and prevent this catastrophe.
"According to the records on the stone tablet, the secret key of spring is sealed in a mysterious place full of mechanisms and traps. It can only be found after passing a series of tests." Lu Ming said slowly, with a hint of fatigue and worry in his voice.
Lin Yu's eyes revealed a firm determination: "No matter how many difficulties there are, we can't give up. For Luo Chen, for this world, we must find the secret key of spring." His voice was firm and powerful, as if announcing their determination to the world.
Su Yao nodded slightly, tears in her eyes: "I believe we can do it, Lin Yu, I will always be with you." Her voice was soft but full of strength. In this difficult time, she was willing to face all challenges with Lin Yu.
Xiao Yi clenched his fists and shouted, "That's right, I want to see what tricks those dark forces can play. I will never back down!" His eyes burned with fighting spirit and he was full of anticipation for the upcoming test.
You Qianxue gently stroked Bing Ling'er's hair and said softly, "Sister, let's work together and we will definitely get through this." Bing Ling'er nodded vigorously, with a determined light flashing in her eyes: "Yes, sister, I will be brave."
After a brief rest, they followed the instructions on the stone tablet and headed towards the location where the Key of Spring was sealed. Along the way, the fog grew thicker, and the surrounding scenery became increasingly eerie. They advanced cautiously, constantly alert to any movement around them.
Suddenly, a narrow passage appeared in front of them, and strange lights flickered on the walls on both sides of the passage. Lin Yu stopped and looked ahead vigilantly: "Everyone be careful, there may be danger hidden in this passage." Everyone nodded, tightened their weapons, and slowly walked into the passage.
As soon as they stepped into the passage, they felt a strong pressure coming towards them, as if an invisible hand was squeezing their bodies. Lin Yu gritted his teeth and tried to resist the pressure: "Everyone hold on, don't be defeated by this force!"
At this moment, countless black rays of light suddenly shot out from the walls on both sides of the passage, like sharp arrows, shooting towards them. Lin Yu quickly drew his sword and swung out sword energy, trying to resist the attack of these rays of light. "Everyone, be careful and dodge!" he shouted.
Su Yao quickly gathered her spiritual energy, forming a shield in front of everyone, blocking most of the light. However, some light still penetrated the shield and shot towards everyone. Xiao Yi brandished his weapon, deflecting the light one by one. You Qianxue and Bing Ling'er coordinated with each other, releasing ice-type spiritual energy to slow the light.
