With that, he clutched his sword and rushed towards the Sand Beast King. After a fierce battle, Zhao Qi finally slashed the Sand Beast King under the sword. The sand beasts have lost their leader and are on the run.

Zhao Qi and the others took the opportunity to launch a final attack and wiped out all the remaining sand beasts.

With their joint efforts, the sand herd was finally defeated. Looking at the corpses of the sand beasts falling all over the ground, Zhao Qi and the others breathed a long sigh of relief.

They gasped and sweated through their clothes, but the expressions on their faces were full of triumphant joy. The corpses of the sand beasts lay on the desert in all directions, forming a spectacular scene.

"It's finally over." Zhao Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with emotion.

"yes, these sand beasts are really hard to deal with." Yi Wuxiao also sighed, "However, we still won." ”

Lan Lingling didn't speak, she just silently treated her and her teammates' injuries. She also played an important role in this battle, using her magic to provide strong support to her teammates.

They knew that the battle had been won, but it had also come at a terrible cost. Some of the caravan men and horses were killed in the battle, and they were more or less wounded.

Looking at the corpses of the fallen sand beasts on the ground and the devastated environment around them, they all felt a little unreassured.

But at the same time, they also understand a truth: only by experiencing the test of life and death and moving forward bravely can they go further and see higher.

Lan Lingling was injured and needed rest and treatment. However, they have also gained a lot of experience and lessons, and are better prepared for the next adventure.

"These sand beasts are so difficult to deal with." Yi Wuxiao sighed, "Fortunately, we have a master like Zhao Qi." ”

"Don't say that." Zhao Qi shook his head and said, "We are a team, and I would not have been able to do all this without your support and cooperation." ”

The caravan leader stepped forward and said gratefully, "Thank you! If it weren't for your help, we'd have been wiped out. ”

Zhao Qi shook his head and said, "You're welcome! Since we have met, we are fated. What's more, in this desert, there are dangers, and one more person has more strength. ”

After this battle, Zhao Qi and the others established a deep friendship with the men and horses of the caravan.

They supported each other to continue to move forward in the desert, leaving firm footprints. Although the road ahead is still full of unknowns and dangers, they are fully prepared to meet any challenges.

After resting for a while, Zhao Qi and the others continued to advance towards the ruins. They made their way through the dunes and finally came to the entrance to the ruins. However, a mysterious barrier blocked their way.

The barrier has a faint blue glow and is carved with strange symbols and patterns. Zhao Qi and the others tried to pass through the barrier, but were bounced back by an invisible force.

"What's going on?" Yi Wuxiao asked in surprise.

"It seems that this barrier requires a specific spell to unravel." Zhao Qi carefully observed the barrier for a while and then said.

"So what do we do? We don't have such a spell. Lan Lingling said a little anxiously.

Zhao Qi frowned slightly, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Let's look around first, maybe we can find any clues." ”

So, Zhao Qi and the others began to search near the entrance of the ruins. They scrutinized every inch of the land, lest they miss any important clues. However, after searching for a while, they found nothing.

"What can I do about this?" Yi Wuxiao said with some frustration, "Are we just being blocked out?" ”

"As long as you can unlock the spell on this barrier, you can enter the ruins."

Zhao Qi and the others looked at each other when they heard this, they didn't expect it to be such a test. However, there is no other way to do it, so they can only try it hard.

"Okay, let's give it a try." Zhao Qi said, stepping forward to carefully observe the spell on the barrier. He found the spells to be very complex, and each symbol and pattern contained profound magical principles. But fortunately, he had learned some knowledge of talismans in Tianyangmen, and he was not unfamiliar with these talismans.

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling also came over to help check the spell. After the three of them studied together for a while, they finally found a possible way.

Zhao Qi stretched out his hand and drew on the barrier. As his fingers moved, the spell on the barrier began to glow faintly and slowly turned. Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling held their breath when they saw this, nervously watching the changes in the barrier.

Fortunately, Lan Lingling is proficient in the art of spells. She stood in front of the entrance to the ruins, staring at the mysterious barrier, her heart full of determination.

"Let me try." She took a deep breath and said slowly.

When Zhao Qi and Yi Wuxiao heard this, they both showed expectant eyes. They knew that the Blue Spirit was the only spellmaster among them, and at this moment, her abilities would determine whether or not they could enter the ruins.

Lan Lingling closed his eyes and began to recall the knowledge of the spells he had learned.

She knew that to unlock the barrier, she had to find the right spell and draw it accurately. This is not easy, as the drawing of the spell requires extreme precision and concentration.

She opened her eyes and began to try to draw spells. Her fingers swiped swiftly through the air, each stroke striking with extraordinary precision and force.

As she moved, the magical elements in the air began to gather, gradually forming a complex spell pattern.

At the same time, she began to chant mantras. Her voice was crisp and pleasant, and every word came out with unmistakable accuracy, resonating with the magical elements in the air.

However, things didn't go as smoothly as expected. The light on the barrier was flickering and dimming, and it didn't seem to be stable.

Lan Lingling knew that it was because she hadn't found the right spell yet.

"No, that's how it should be......" she muttered to herself, then resumed drawing the spell. This time, she was more focused, pouring her all into each stroke.

Time passed little by little, and Zhao Qi and Yi Wuxiao watched Lan Lingling's movements nervously. They know that at this moment, the slightest mistake can lead to the loss of their previous efforts.

Finally, just as the Blue Spirit was about to exhaust all of its magic power, the light on the barrier suddenly burst out, and then slowly dissipated. A passage leading to the interior of the ruins appeared in front of them.

"It worked!" Zhao Qi and Yi Wuxiao cheered, and they patted Lan Lingling's shoulder excitedly, "You are amazing!" ”

Lan Lingling also showed a tired and satisfied smile. She knew that the reason why she was able to successfully unlock the barrier was inseparable from the support and encouragement of Zhao Qi and Yi Wuxiao.

"Let's go inside." As she spoke, she walked into the aisle first. Zhao Qi and Yi Wuxiao followed, and together they embarked on a journey to explore the ruins.

The interior of the passage is dim and winding, as if there is no end to it. However, they did not give up, but moved forward step by step with determination.

After a while, they finally walked out of the passage and came to the interior of the ruins. It is full of ancient and mysterious, as if every inch of the land contains endless secrets and treasures.

"Wow! It's so beautiful here! Lan Lingling exclaimed. She looked at the intricate carvings on the walls around her and the gems that shone faintly, her eyes filled with wonder and curiosity.

"Yes, there must be a lot of treasure and secrets hidden here." Zhao Qi also said excitedly. He began to carefully examine his surroundings, trying to find some valuable clues.

Yi Wuxiao looked around vigilantly, for fear that some danger would suddenly attack. He knew that in this mysterious and dangerous ruin, there was no way to take it lightly.

The three of them began to split up. Zhao Qi was in charge of finding treasures and clues, Yi Wuxiao was in charge of guarding and protecting, and Lan Lingling continued to study the charms and magic arrays in the ruins.

They cooperated with each other tacitly, and soon gained a lot.

The interior of the ruins is intricate, like a labyrinthine world, full of traps and traps, as if it could swallow any life that accidentally steps into it at any moment.

Zhao Qi and the others didn't dare to be careless, they stuck tightly together and walked forward cautiously.

"Everyone, watch your step, there may be a mechanism here." Zhao Qi reminded in a low voice, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, constantly looking for possible clues ahead.

Yi Wuxiao nodded lightly, he followed closely behind Zhao Qi, holding a long stick in his hand, tapping on the ground from time to time, trying to detect the hidden mechanism.

And Lan Lingling is responsible for taking care of the rear, although her spell technique is powerful, it is useless at the moment, and she can only pray silently for everyone.

They walked slowly along a narrow passageway, and the walls on both sides of the passage were carved with strange symbols and patterns, as if to tell the ancient legend of the ruins.

Zhao Qi carefully observed the symbols, trying to find some useful information from them.

"Brother Qi, do you see what this symbol represents?" Yi Wuxiao suddenly pointed to a peculiar pattern and said.

Zhao Qi looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the pattern was shaped like an eye, with a brilliant gem inlaid in the middle. His heart moved, as if he had thought of something, but he couldn't figure it out.

"This pattern...... I seem to have seen it somewhere. Zhao Qi said with a frown, he tried to recall, trying to find the memories associated with this pattern.

At this moment, a cold light suddenly shot from the front, Zhao Qi and the others were startled and quickly retreated.

I saw a row of sharp blades suddenly appear on the ground in front of them, and if they were one step too late, they would probably be cut to pieces by these blades.

"It's dangerous! There's a mechanism here! Yi Wuxiao exclaimed, his face was a little pale, obviously frightened by the thrill just now.

Zhao Qi also took a deep breath, and he became more vigilant in his heart. This ruin is full of unknown dangers, and they must always be on the highest alert, or they could die here at any time.

They continued on their way, encountering various traps and traps along the way, all of which they skillfully avoided.

Finally, after countless thrills, they came to the depths of the ruins.

It was a large stone chamber with a stone table in the center of the room, which was piled high with glittering treasures and ancient books. Zhao Qi and the others' eyes lit up, and they walked quickly to the stone table and examined it carefully.

"Wow! So many treasures and ancient books! Lan Lingling exclaimed, her eyes flashing with excitement.

"Everything here is ours!" Yi Wuxiao also said excitedly, and he began to pocket the treasures and ancient books one by one.

Zhao Qi was not as excited as they were, he carefully looked through the ancient books, trying to find some useful information. He knew that these ancient books might be hiding important secrets about the ruins.

Sure enough, after looking through a few ancient books, Zhao Qi found a worn-out parchment scroll.

He opened the parchment scroll and saw a strange map drawn on it, marked with some mysterious symbols and markings.

"It's ...... A map of the ruins? Zhao Qi said in surprise, his heart was full of doubts and curiosity.

"Brother Qi, what did you find?" Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling heard Zhao Qi's voice and gathered around.

Zhao Qi showed them the parchment scroll, and the three of them studied it together. After some careful deliberation and guesswork, they finally identified some key locations on the map.

"Turns out there's a hidden secret room here!" Zhao Qi said excitedly, "Let's go and find out!" ”

They followed the instructions on the map and searched around the stone chamber. Finally, in an inconspicuous corner, they find a hidden entrance.

The entrance is a narrow gap that allows only one person to pass through. Zhao Qi took the lead in getting in, followed by Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling. They descended a steep staircase until they reached an even more secluded stone chamber.

This stone chamber is more spacious and luxurious than the previous one, and the walls around it are inlaid with countless gems and pearls, which shine brightly. In the center of the stone room is a large stone bed covered with soft brocade quilts and pillows.

"Here...... Could it be the bedroom of the owner of the ruins? Lan Lingling said in surprise.

Zhao Qi and Yi Wuxiao were also shocked by the scene in front of them, they couldn't imagine that there was such a luxurious secret room hidden in this ruin.

They walked over to the stone bed and examined it carefully. I saw a delicate jade box placed at the head of the bed, and the box was inlaid with a huge gemstone, which emitted a dazzling light.

Zhao Qi opened the jade box and saw a crystal clear spirit bead lying inside. His heart moved, and he seemed to feel the powerful power contained in the spirit bead.

"It's ...... The spirit bead of the owner of the ruins? Zhao Qi said in surprise, he carefully held the spirit bead in his hand, feeling the power in it.

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling also came around, and they admired this beautiful spirit bead together. At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly shot out from the spirit bead, illuminating the entire stone chamber. (End of chapter)
