Qin Jinwen's beautiful willow-leaf eyes noticed the long-haired youth standing behind the people on the throne.
The young man had long, flowing hair, gentle, bright eyes, and a tall, strong physique. He was dressed in a white shirt and black pants, looking like he had stepped out of a comic book.
The only drawback was that the young man was wearing Crocs, but he didn't look sloppy at all; instead, he seemed very approachable.
As a junior, Yanluo naturally had to take the initiative to greet him.
"Sister Wen, it's been a long time."
Qin Jinwen's eyes instantly reddened. She ran to Yanluo in her high heels and hugged her.
Yan Luo gently patted Qin Jinwen's back.
Qin Jinwen and Fifth Spring Autumn were very good sisters, and Qin Jinwen naturally felt sorry for her sister's disciple.
After all, it's not something an ordinary person could bear to see their master and teammates die right before their eyes.
Qin Jinwen separated Yan Luo and reached out to pat Yan Luo's head.
"He's grown taller, become more handsome, and is now a proper young man."
Yan Luo smiled and said, "Sister Wen is still as beautiful as ever."
"You have such a sweet tongue. Come on, let's go eat together."
During lunchtime.
Qin Jinwen kept putting food on Yanluo's plate, making Yanluo feel embarrassed.
In the eyes of this group of middle-aged people, Yan Luo was still that boy, that little brat who followed behind the lone beast.
Yan Luo asked Wang Yi while eating.
"Brother Wang Yi, I've never been to ancient ruins. Everyone says they're extremely dangerous inside. Why is that?"
Wang Yi took a bite of food.
“Every ancient ruin is guarded by a strange creature. Through years of experience and exploration, our ancestors called that creature ‘demon’.”
Qin Jinwen put down her chopsticks; she was also a little curious.
"There aren't many records left behind. Is it like the kind of information found in literature or film and television works?"
Zhao Jun interjected, "They are similar; this kind of creature should be called a 'demonic evil'."
Zhao Jun spoke in a cold tone.
Liu Qian added on behalf of Zhao Jun.
"Demons are very ferocious. They resemble animals, are extremely fast and strong, and most terrifyingly, they have thinking abilities that are no less than those of humans."
"The strength of demons is also defined by ranks one through nine."
Liu Qian's fair face was framed by round-framed glasses, exuding the air of a refined scholar, while his triangular eyes revealed a serious expression.
It's hard to imagine that this is a 38-year-old man.
"Xiao Luo, we must not be careless. Even if the demons are weaker than us, they still outnumber us."
"Carelessness can lead to certain death."
Yan Luo nodded solemnly.
"I understand, Brother Qian."
For the past 20 years, the throne has been the one exploring the ancient ruins, so naturally, the throne knows best what changes have occurred.
The information recorded by our predecessors is somewhat insufficient.
After lunch, Qin Jinwen personally drove the group to the ancient ruins in the dense forest.
In the dense forest, a stone gate stands on the grass. The left gate is carved with lifelike foxes, while the right gate is carved with venomous snakes with their mouths open and fangs showing.
Before entering, Qin Jinwen gave Yanluo some special instructions.
"Be careful in everything, and listen to me. I'll be waiting for you to come back from up here."
Yanlu pursed her lips, revealing her neat teeth as she smiled and said, "Sister Wen, I'm 21 now, not a child anymore."
Qin Jinwen lightly punched Yan Luo's shoulder.
"Okay, I won't nag anymore, go!"
Everyone took out their respective ghost artifacts from the ghost artifact box. Wang Yi took off his sunglasses and put on an eye mask. Then he held a tungsten gold spear in one hand, which was tilted behind his back.
Wang Yi reached out his other hand and pushed open the heavy stone door.
The stone gate opened to both sides as he pushed it open, and behind the gate was a stone staircase leading down.
As the door opened, candles lit up one by one on the stone walls surrounding the stone steps.
The group entered the stone gate one by one.
After all eight people had entered, the stone door slammed shut.
Qin Jinwen closed the trunk and drove away.
Keep going down the stone steps.
It took the eight of them quite a while to climb this long and terrifying stone staircase.
Yan Luo looked back and saw that there were at least several thousand steps.
The group continued walking along a narrow stone path, which was not easy to walk on, at least not very friendly to Xu Chunlai.
If you're not careful, you could get pricked by the sharp stone spikes protruding from both sides of the stone path.
After traversing this difficult, narrow path, the sight before them astonished everyone.
A vast, seemingly endless stone cave appeared before the group of people.
Di Huanian took out a powerful flashlight from the bag on his back, but the strong light couldn't reach the edge.
Di Huanian quickly turned off the flashlight and took out several searchlight sticks from his back, distributing them to the group.
The formation also changed.
Wang Yi was at the very front, flanked by Wu Dongxia and Xuan Yuan Changhong. Zhao Jun and Di Huanian were not far behind the two in front, while Xu Chunlai was at the rear of the group, holding a huge iron shield.
Liu Qian, who was holding a bow, and Yan Luo, who was holding an umbrella, were surrounded in the middle.
A searchlight stick can only provide a little light to illuminate the surroundings, which is somewhat useless. However, compared to using a powerful flashlight to expose one's position, a searchlight stick is definitely the best choice in this terrain.
The group continued onward.
This boundless stone cave resembled the belly of a monster, dark and oppressive.
Zhao Jun suddenly stopped, his sharp eyes fixed on the sky above the stone cave, where spikes were pointing.
Everyone noticed that something was staring at them from above.
Immediately afterwards, streaks of red light filled the spikes in the sky.
Liu Qian took a closer look and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
"Holy crap, they're all snakes!"
The dense red glow above the cave is the eye of a snake.
Di Huanian took out several long-lasting flares from his bag and threw them around.
Instantly, the area where everyone was standing was as bright as day.
And this seemed to be an order for the red-eyed snakes to attack, as one snake after another fell from the spikes.
Fifth Winter and Summer held two swords, one a light blue longsword named Spring and Autumn, and the other a dark black longsword named Winter and Summer. He shouted loudly.
"Fatty Xu!"
Xu Chunlai immediately understood, raised the shield above his head, and bent his knees into a half-squatting position.
Fifth Winter Summer leaped onto the giant shield with her sword in hand. Xu Chunlai roared and his legs suddenly burst forth with powerful force, while his thick arms also exerted tremendous strength to send Fifth Winter Summer into the air.
Fifth Winter looked up at the swarm of snakes falling from the sky, his sharp, star-like eyes filled with intense sword intent.
The two swords overlapped, and Fifth Winter and Summer used their energy to unleash their sword techniques.
"Blazing Sun Cross Slash!!"
A massive cross-shaped sword aura, burning with dark red flames, was unleashed as Fifth Winter Summer swung her sword.
Xuanyuan Changhong, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, was also sent into the air by Xu Chunlai.
Both Wu Dongxia and Xuanyuan Changhong wield swords, and the two are known as the "King's Twin Swords".
Xuanyuan Changhong's swordsmanship was not flashy; it was simply a sword aura slashed out by an ancient longsword.
It intertwined and merged with the dark red sword energy, and finally slashed at the falling swarm of red-eyed snakes at lightning speed.
The swarm of red-eyed snakes in mid-air had nowhere to hide; they were simply wasting their lives in vain.
Such ordinary little demons are nothing more than cannon fodder.
The real danger is probably yet to come.
