Seeing Xi Xi like this, Xu Ruyu and the others also walked towards the stone platform. Just as they were about to get close to the stone platform, a circle of flames suddenly appeared around them, trapping them inside.
"This is the final test. Only by passing the test of this flame can you obtain the Chaos Spirit Orb," the old man's voice rang out again.
The flames were raging, and the temperature was extremely high, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.
Xu Ruyu looked at Chu Chenxiao and the others and said, "Don't panic, everyone. If we work together, we will definitely be able to break through the shackles of these flames."
As he spoke, he took the lead in using his internal energy to resist the attack of the flames.
Chu Chenxiao and Ning Yuyuan also mobilized their internal energy to fight against the flames.
Xi Xi then used her special abilities to try to weaken the power of the flames.
With everyone's combined efforts, the flames gradually subsided.
Finally, they successfully broke through the flames and arrived at the stone platform.
Xu Ruyu reached out and picked up the box, slowly opening it. A Chaos Spirit Pearl radiating a mysterious light appeared before everyone's eyes.
Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the ruins.
It turned out that the men in black had not given up. They followed the trail to the ruins and brought more helpers with them.
"Oh no, they're catching up." Chu Chenxiao's expression changed.
Xu Ruyu carefully put away the Chaos Spirit Pearl and said, "This place is not safe to stay for long. Let's leave here first and then make further plans."
So, the four of them took the Chaos Spirit Orb and escaped through another exit of the ruins.
After escaping the ruins with the Chaos Spirit Pearl, the four dared not slacken their efforts. Led by Xu Ruyu, they headed deeper into the mountains.
Throughout the journey, Chu Chenxiao held the spirit pearl tightly in his hand, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
She knew the importance of this spiritual pearl and understood the great responsibility they bore.
However, the men in black were extremely fast in their pursuit, and soon the sound of horses' hooves and shouts came from behind.
"They're catching up, we need to speed up!" Ning Yuyuan said anxiously.
Everyone quickened their pace, but the mountain path was rugged, and their speed was ultimately limited.
Just as the men in black were about to catch up with them, a valley suddenly appeared ahead.
Ning Yuyuan's eyes lit up, and she said, "If we hide in the valley, we might be able to shake them off."
Without hesitation, everyone rushed into the valley.
A light mist hung in the valley, and the surrounding jagged rocks and dense trees provided them with excellent cover.
They found a secluded spot in the valley and hid there, not daring to breathe.
The man in black chased them to the mouth of the valley and stopped.
The leader of the men in black scanned the valley with a cold gaze, seemingly searching for their trail.
"They must be hiding inside, search them!" The leader of the men in black gave the order, and the men in black dismounted and headed into the valley.
Chu Chenxiao and the others were on tenterhooks, huddled together, ready to fight at any moment.
Just as the men in black were about to find their hiding place, a strange sound suddenly rang out in the valley.
The sound seemed to come from underground, low and muffled, sending chills down one's spine.
The men in black panicked and stopped in their tracks.
"What's that sound? Could it be some kind of monster?" a man in black asked in alarm.
The leader of the men in black also showed fear, but he still tried to remain calm. "What's there to be afraid of? It's just some scare tactics. Keep searching!"
But the men in black dared not move forward any further; their eyes revealed fear and unease.
Just then, the ground began to shake violently, and the fog in the valley grew thicker and thicker.
Suddenly, some huge black vines emerged from the ground. These vines were as flexible as snakes and began to coil around the man in black.
The men in black screamed in terror and tried to flee, but the vines moved so fast that they quickly wrapped them up.
Chu Chenxiao and the others stared in astonishment at the scene before them, never expecting such danger to be hidden in the valley.
Xu Ruyu frowned, as if she was thinking about something.
"These vines seem to be protecting the valley; we shouldn't act rashly," Xu Ruyu said softly.
As the vines continued their assault, the man in black gradually lost ground.
In the end, apart from a few men in black who escaped, the rest were dragged underground by the vines.
The valley returned to calm, and the fog gradually dissipated.
"It seems we're safe for now." Ning Yuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Chenxiao nodded, but a hint of worry still lingered in her eyes. "We can't stay here forever; we need to find a way to leave as soon as possible."
Xu Ruyu stood up, looked around, and said, "I think I know a way out, but it's a dangerous one, and we need to be careful."
Thus, led by Xu Ruyu, the four continued their escape.
They carefully avoided the dangers in the valley and headed in the direction Xu Ruyu had indicated.
Meanwhile, in the Ruifeng Dynasty, the confrontation between Ning Ci and others and the experts from the ancient families became increasingly intense.
They discovered that this hidden force was colluding with some officials in the court, attempting to use the sealed artifacts guarded by their families to gain control of the entire Ruifeng Dynasty.
To thwart their conspiracy, Ning Ci and his companions decide to venture into the lion's den and uncover the truth behind it all.
After conducting an in-depth investigation into the life and deeds of the mysterious royal ancestor, Chu Qiaoling and others from the Jinglan Dynasty finally found the whereabouts of the key token to open the secret chamber.
It turned out that the token was hidden in an ancient temple.
This temple is located on the border of the Jinglan Dynasty, in a dangerous environment filled with various traps and mechanisms.
