Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi stared nervously at the ruins in the distance, while Meng'er also looked around vigilantly. After a while, out of the ruins came a small old man with big shoulders and a thick waist, with a bare head and a long mouth and big ears, who looked completely different from Meng'er's demeanor.

"Lao Sun's apprentice is also something you can move?" The old man looked at the huge pit in the distance, and then said angrily.

"Are you in vain? You mean the behemoth? Yu Qian looked at the old man in front of him and was puzzled, and Cai Tianyi and Meng'er also showed surprised expressions. They originally thought that the giant beast was an independent existence, but they didn't expect that there was such an old man behind it.

The old man snorted coldly and said. "Kill me, you are so bold."

Yu Qian stepped forward and said respectfully: "Senior, we didn't know that the giant beast was your apprentice, if we knew, we would definitely not make a move easily." ”

The old man glanced at Meng'er coldly and said, "Hmph, you juniors, you don't know how thick the sky is. I'm going to give you a taste of it today! As he spoke, the old man waved his hands, and a powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire space.

Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi looked at the old man's breath, and their hearts were uneasy, they knew that this old man's strength was very strong. Meng'er also felt pressure, the old man's strength should be higher than her current realm.

The old man walked slowly towards them, "You were able to defeat my disciples, I want to see how strong you are." After he finished speaking, he punched Yu Qian hard.

Yu Qian hurriedly reacted, raised his hands, and blocked the old man's blow. However, he felt a powerful force coming, and his whole person was shocked and took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Cai Tianyi also attacked the old man. He jumped to his feet, kicked his legs, and kicked the old man in the chest. However, the old man seemed to be on guard, and dodged the attack in a flash.

Meng'er saw that both of her companions were repelled by the old man, and knew that she could no longer sit idly by. She spread out and quickly circled the old man's back, ready to sneak attack.

However, the old man already knew Meng'er's thoughts, suddenly turned around, slapped out, and then pounced twice, and Meng'er was knocked out.

Seeing Meng'er injured, Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi's anger was ignited. They rushed towards the old man again, and a fierce sword qi flew towards the old man at great speed.

However, as soon as the sword qi came into contact with the old man's surroundings, it disappeared. Then they attacked left and right, attacking at the same time, and cooperated tacitly. Yu Qian uses the palm method, and Cai Tianyi uses the leg method. Their attacks are like a bamboo, and each attack carries a powerful force.

The old man also felt tricky when he saw that the two cooperated so tacitly. He began to show his true strength, with a smart body and sharp hands. However, he was still forced to retreat by the two.

In the end, Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi cooperated to perform a stunt, and slapped the old man violently with one palm and one leg at the same time. The old man was finally unable to resist and was knocked out of the way, and finally fell in the ruins, never to rise again.

Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi looked at the old man who fell in the ruins, and the tension and anger in their hearts had weakened, replaced by a kind of confusion and uneasiness. They knew that they had defeated the old man, but that was not their original intention.

Yu Qian walked up to Meng'er and asked with concern, "Meng'er, are you okay?" Meng'er shook her head, a pained expression on her face.

Cai Tianyi looked at the old man and sighed: "I didn't expect that something unintentional would cause some disasters."

Yu Qian nodded, then turned to the old man and said respectfully: "Senior, we don't mean to offend, just to protect ourselves." If we had known that the beast was your apprentice, we would have spared it. ”

The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly rose from the rubble. There was no anger on his face, but a smile on his face.

"Young man, your strength really amazes me. My apprentice was defeated at your hands, and he was not good at learning. The old man said, "Although I am the master of the giant beast, I don't want to see my apprentice do whatever he wants. This incident can be regarded as a lesson for him. ”

Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi looked at each other, they didn't expect the old man to say this.

Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi said together.

The old man smiled and nodded, then turned to leave. His figure faded away, disappearing into the ruins.

Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi watched the old man's departing back, and they continued along the ruins road, surrounded by a dead silence, only the sound of the wind and their footsteps.

After a long while, they finally came to the location of the second artifact, Yu Qian looked at the bottomless hole in front of him and wondered, "The second artifact, wasn't it still here just now?" Is it because of that beast just now? ”

Cai Tianyi shook his head, "It's possible." ”

"In that case, we'll have to go down to the cave and look for it." Yu Qian looked at the giant cave and said in shock.

Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi had a dragonfly point underwater giant hole, and as soon as they went down to the deep pit, the three of them felt a cold chill coming. Hand in hand, they walked down the rugged stone steps. The rocks on the walls of the cave glowed faintly, reflecting their nervous expressions.

Suddenly, they heard a low roar, as if some huge creature was rolling at the bottom of the cave. The two of them tightened their hearts and quickened their pace, running towards the source of the sound.

At the bottom of the cave, they saw an artifact that shimmered blue. The artifact was suspended in the air, emitting a powerful aura that made them shake up. However, before they could get closer, a strong current of air rushed out from around the artifact, shaking them back a few steps.

Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi barely stabilized their bodies and glanced at each other, "Senior brother... This artifact seems to be stronger than the previous one. ”。 A light white chain suddenly appeared around the artifact, and the chain began to divide into countless small chains, and the speed of the small chain was extremely fast, and the two of them were tied up in an instant.

Meng'er shook her head and waved her hand, and after a few moments, the chain clicked and broke off.

Then Meng'er looked at the divine soul in the distance and said slowly: "The barrier of the top artifact is also the most vulnerable place of this artifact. As soon as Meng'er's words fell, Yu Qian condensed the true qi of his whole body, gathered it in his right hand, and slammed it towards the artifact. Cai Tianyi took the opportunity to jump up and swept towards the artifact with a flying leg. With the cooperation of the two, the artifact's defense was finally broken.

The artifact lost its power and slowly fell to the ground. Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi nervously stepped forward and picked up the artifact. They looked at the artifact in their hands, and their hearts were filled with joy.

Afterwards, they returned the same way back as they came, with picturesque mountains and clear springs. The sun shines on them through the cracks in the forest, adding a bit of warmth to their journey. In this beautiful scenery, their mood gradually became relaxed.

They walked through the woods, and the sound of birdsong was endless. The sunlight shines on the ground through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and falls on them, making them feel warm and comfortable.

The dark green leaves gently sway in the wind, making a rustling sound. The mountain peaks in the distance are like dragons in the sky, towering in the clouds and mist, giving people a sense of infinite depression.

Occasionally, a small stream flowed past them, crystal clear, with small fish swimming in the water, and some aquatic plants and flowers floating on the water.

Walking through the picturesque woods, they feel that every detail is so beautiful, as if it were a masterpiece of God. The breeze blows, the leaves sway, and the chirping of birds makes you feel the power of nature and the power of life. Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi walked quietly and enjoyed this beautiful scenery.

Just as they were immersed in the beautiful scenery, a mysterious figure flashed through the woods, making them feel a little uneasy. Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi immediately raised their vigilance and cautiously followed this figure.

They walked through a dense woods and came to a valley. At the end of the valley, they saw a huge cave that exuded an aura of mystery. Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi glanced at each other, and then decided to enter the cave to find out.

They cautiously entered the cave and found that there was a cave inside. In the depths of the cave there is a mysterious altar on which a glittering orb is placed. This orb exudes a powerful power that makes people feel unsettled.

Just when Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi were surprised by the mysterious power of this orb, an old voice came from the depths of the cave: "Young man, you are destined to come here. This orb is called 'Heart of Heaven and Earth', and it has the ability to control the power of heaven and earth. But harnessing its power requires strong conviction and strong strength. ”

Yu Qian and Cai Tianyi looked in surprise in the direction where the voice came from, and found a gray-haired old man sitting there quietly. The old man continued, "This 'Heart of Heaven and Earth' was originally a treasure of a god, but the god lost it in a great war. Now, it has landed in this cave, waiting for the arrival of the destined person. ”

"What kind of bullshit is destined, tell me what realm you were in your last life." Meng'er looked at the half-misty old man in front of her with a displeased face and said.

The old man looked at Meng'er, smiled slightly, and said, "This girl, I am not from the previous life, I am the guardian of the heart of heaven and earth, and my duty is to guard it and wait for someone who can control it to appear." And you are the destined people I have been waiting for for a long time. ”

Meng'er frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the old man's words. But Yu Qian knew that this old man was not deceiving, and he saw his sincerity in his eyes.

"You said we were destined, so what do we need to do to harness the power of this orb?" Yu Qian asked.

The old man shook his head lightly and said, "Harnessing the power of the Heart of Heaven and Earth is not an easy task, and you need to pass a series of trials to prove your determination and strength. These trials will be challenging, but as long as you can persevere, you will be able to gain its power. ”

"What are you talking about trials?" Cai Tianyi asked.

"The content of the trial will change as you progress, but I can tell you that it will be the greatest test of your spirit and body. Are you ready? The old man asked.
