Chapter 876
Heading to Spirit Valley
They headed southeast along the mountain road toward Huanxia Ridge.
The mountain breeze brushed against their faces, bringing a touch of coolness, but also seemed to bring them an ominous premonition.
Tian Siyao gripped the feather fan tightly in her hand.
She quickly adjusted her mindset and focused her attention on her surroundings.
She carefully observed the scenery on both sides of the road.
We hope to find some clues about Huanxia Ridge from the surrounding natural world.
Not far away, Qin Miyue closed her eyes and concentrated, beginning to use the ancient magic she had mastered to sense things.
She sensed a mysterious power emanating from the depths of Illusionary Cloud Ridge.
And try to learn more about the hidden items using the magic crystal ball.
Chen Ze then picked up his sword and carefully examined the weapon.
He knew that he had to be prepared for any potential dangers before venturing into the unknown.
The four continued on their journey, and when they passed through a small village, they decided to talk to the local residents to seek more stories about Huanxia Ridge and their ancestors.
Tian Siyao listened patiently and absorbed some valuable information.
She organized those seemingly insignificant details in her mind, hoping to find clues hidden within them.
She speculated that perhaps the legendary ancestors here still possessed important inherited powers.
Qin Miyue observed the ornaments and runes worn by the villagers.
She sensed that familiar yet mysterious power fluctuation and realized that the ornaments on these people's hands might conceal some unknown power.
They decided to remain highly vigilant as they ventured deeper into the Illusionary Cloud Ridge, making full use of their respective strengths and equipment.
Finally, the four of them reunited for a brief but intensive discussion.
They have gained a new understanding of the challenges they are about to face and firmly believe that only by truly working together can they overcome them.
Only by overcoming every test with sincerity and wisdom can one receive the true blessings of this land.
They ventured deep into the Illusionary Cloud Ridge.
This is a quiet and mysterious place, shrouded in a thin mist, exuding an air of the unknown.
The four of them carefully traversed this picturesque yet treacherous area.
Gradually, they discovered an ancient pagoda in front of them.
Tian Siyao keenly noticed that the pagoda was covered with runes, and she began to decipher the clues hidden within them.
Qin Miyue used her magic crystal ball to sense the power fluctuations contained within the pagoda and speculated that it might be one of the answers they were looking for.
Chen Ze gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, staring intently at the entrance to the pagoda ahead.
He knew that they were about to face an even more arduous and dangerous test.
"We need to be ready," Chen Ze encouraged everyone.
The four of them carefully entered the pagoda.
Upon entering the pagoda, they felt an ancient and mysterious aura.
It was as if the entire space was filled with the power left by our ancestors.
They followed the dim lights and walked through a series of long corridors.
The walls are covered with all sorts of strange symbols and patterns, seemingly telling untold stories.
Suddenly, an alarm sounded.
The four men gripped their weapons tightly in nervousness, then saw an archaeological team digging deep inside the pagoda.
"How is this possible? How did they know about this place?" Tian Siyao muttered to herself.
Qin Miyue frowned, her eyes revealing disappointment and helplessness.
"We arrived here before them, so how did they get here first? Could there be a mole who leaked the information?"
"We must stop them from digging no matter what," Chen Ze said firmly.
He gazed at the archaeological team ahead, silently making a decision in his heart.
They decided to split up, with Tian Siyao responsible for deciphering the runes inside the pagoda.
Qin Miyue is tasked with finding the hidden power, while Chen Ze is responsible for stopping the archaeological team's actions.
Tian Siyao stood in front of the wall inside the pagoda, carefully observing the runes.
She lowered her head intently, softly reciting the words. These runes seemed to be telling her about the wisdom and power passed down from her ancestors.
She tried hard to understand and interpret the meaning of each letter, hoping to find the secrets related to Huanxia Ridge.
Qin Miyue used her magic crystal ball to sense the power fluctuations contained within this place.
She lifted the crystal ball, and in its light, she saw streams of mysterious and powerful energy flowing through it.
"I felt a powerful energy!" Qin Miyue said excitedly.
"This might be the clue we've been searching for."
Chen Ze walked straight toward the archaeologist in charge of the excavation.
"I'm sorry, we discovered this place first, and we hope you can leave," Chen Ze said firmly.
The archaeologist looked coldly at Chen Ze and said disdainfully:
"And what gives you the right to demand that we leave? We are qualified to excavate this place."
Chen Ze gripped the sword hilt tightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"We had no choice but to do this in order to protect the relics and secrets left by our ancestors."
With a roar, Chen Ze swung his sword like lightning.
It slashed directly at the pickaxe held by the archaeologist.
The violent impact echoed inside the pagoda, and the four were immediately plunged into a fierce battle.
Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue also joined the battle, displaying their respective abilities inside the pagoda.
Tian Siyao used techniques of interpreting symbols and patterns to distract her opponent.
Qin Miyue, on the other hand, used magic to create illusions and hinder the opponent's actions.
In this thrilling and exciting battle, the four worked together as a team.
Using their respective abilities and combat skills, they gradually gained the upper hand.
Ultimately, they successfully defeated the archaeological team, forcing them to leave the pagoda.
The four of them looked wearily at the forgotten ancient tomb.
They felt frustrated, but at the same time proud of their efforts.
"We cannot allow anyone to tarnish the secrets left by our ancestors."
Tian Siyao gripped the feather fan tightly, her eyes revealing determination and resolve.
Chen Ze nodded in agreement, "We must find the truth."
So they regrouped and began exploring the interior of the pagoda.
After coming out of the pagoda.
The four then decided to go to Ling Valley.
It is said that a powerful god dwells there and is extremely angry with those who betray him.
Using her superb magical knowledge and intuition, Qin Miyue deduced that "Linggu" might be the legendary location of the tomb of the Wolf King.
After entering the Spirit Valley, the group encountered a series of unusual phenomena.
The compass needle loses its direction and spins erratically; the weather suddenly changes.
A blood-red water flow appeared – analysis revealed that this was caused by the high iron content in the water.
Despite the environment matching the characteristics of a metallic force field, the four still failed to find any clues about the ancient tomb.
Chen Ze frowned, feeling extremely anxious.
"This anomaly means that we are close to the truth, but are being hindered by some force."
Tian Siyao looked around, trying to find the answer in the surrounding scenery.
“Perhaps we should explore this place more carefully,” she suggested.
"Perhaps there is something we have overlooked."
After thinking for a moment, Qin Miyue nodded in agreement.
"That's true. We can't afford to give up on any possible lead."
So the four of them resumed their search, focusing their attention on every detail in the Spirit Valley.
They carefully made their way through the shady mountain paths, their steps tinged with a quiet and mysterious atmosphere. (End of Chapter)
