They looked at the scene in amazement, only to see an illusory figure emerge from the light. It was an old man in a robe, and his eyes shone with majesty and wisdom.

"Welcome to my ruins." The old man said slowly, "I am the owner of this ruin and the guardian of this spirit bead. The fact that you have been here shows that you have extraordinary courage and wisdom. ”

Zhao Qi and the others were stunned by the appearance of the old man, they couldn't imagine that there was such a mysterious existence hidden in this ruin.

"Senior...... Hello. Zhao Qi saluted respectfully and said, "Junior Zhao Qi, inadvertently broke into this place, it is a lot of offense, please forgive the seniors." ”

The old man smiled and nodded, "No need to be polite. It's also a fate that you are here. This spirit bead is the result of my life's cultivation, and now I am giving it to the most destined among you. ”

After the crisis of the ruins was resolved, Zhao Qi and the others left the eye of the storm with treasures and ancient books. They walked along the winding mountain paths, each step with extra care.

"How so?" Lan Lingling said in surprise. She looked at the blocked passage ahead, her heart filled with despair.

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling also followed, constantly launching fierce attacks on the gargoyle's eyes.

"Let me try." Lan Lingling stepped forward as she spoke, and began to draw the spell. Her spell skills are not as powerful as those ancient spells in the ruins, but they are still powerful.

"Are we overthinking?" Yi Wuxiao said with some doubts.

He clenched his sword and took a deep breath, urging the power of the spirit bead in his body. Suddenly, a dazzling light bloomed on the sword, illuminating the entire ruins as if it were daylight.

The gargoyle seemed to sense the threat, it let out a low roar, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced on Zhao Qi. However, Zhao Qi was not afraid at all, his eyes revealed firm conviction, and he clenched his sword to meet it.

"There is great power in this sword." Lan Lingling sighed, "However, it seems that there is a deeper mystery waiting for you to discover. ”

The gargoyle's incomparably hard body was unexpectedly scarred by the sword in Zhao Qi's hand. And Zhao Qi was also shocked by the huge impact of the gargoyle and flew out upside down and fell to the ground.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the distance. The crowd immediately became alert and prepared for battle. However, when they saw the comer, they were all relieved.

The light grew brighter and brighter, and the gargoyle's screams grew more and more terrible. Finally, under the full attack of Zhao Qi and others, the core of the gargoyle was completely destroyed, and the entire body fell down.

However, at this moment, he seemed to feel the call of the sword, and a mysterious power surged within him.

Lan Lingling took the sword and looked at it carefully. I saw that the sword body emitted a faint light, and it was engraved with complex charms and patterns.

Its eyes shimmered red, like two burning flames, making people shudder. Its limbs are strong and powerful, and every step it takes makes the ground tremble.

"Be careful, everyone, this gargoyle's strength is not trivial." Zhao Qi said in a deep voice, "We must work together to defeat it." ”

"What the hell is this?" Yi Wuxiao exclaimed in surprise and subconsciously clenched the long sword in his hand.

"Thanks to Zhao Qi's sword." Lan Lingling also breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"This stone gate seems to be impregnable." Yi Wuxiao sighed, "What should we do? ”

Zhao Qi nodded, and his heart was full of anticipation. He knew that the sword would be an important companion in his future adventures.

The gargoyle seemed to feel the hostility of Zhao Qi and the others, it roared lowly, and suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and a blazing flame erupted from its mouth, heading straight for them.

"Seal something?" Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, "What could it be?" ”

"Unlikely." Zhao Qi carefully observed the charms on the stone gate and said, "These charms are different from those in the ruins, it seems that they are used to seal something. ”

As he spoke, he urged the power of the spirit bead in his body and launched an attack on the spell on the stone gate. However, Shimen did not move in the slightest and did not seem to be affected in any way.

Zhao Qi frowned, his gaze scanning back and forth over the gargoyle, trying to find its weakness. He knew that this battle would be the toughest of their lives.

"This guy's skin is too thick!" Yi Wuxiao gritted his teeth angrily.

"It's not the way to go on like this!" Lan Lingling said anxiously, "We must find a way to break through its defenses. ”

"I don't know." Zhao Qi shook his head and said, "But we can try to open it and take a look." ”

"Wow!" Zhao Qi spat out a mouthful of blood, but he didn't care about his injuries, quickly got up from the ground, and rushed towards the gargoyle again. He knew that this was their only chance of life, and he had to do his best.

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, and his heart was also full of joy. He knew that he was able to successfully defeat the gargoyle this time, thanks to the mystery of the sword and the unity and cooperation of everyone. At the same time, he also believed in his faith and courage even more.

"It worked!" Zhao Qi was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately increased his efforts to urge the power of the spirit bead.

The group continued on their way, and soon came to a dense forest. The forest is full of trees and foliage, which shades the sun and makes the whole forest feel very quiet.

Zhao Qi nodded, he knew that Lan Lingling was right. But how easy is it to find weaknesses in gargoyles?

Just when they were at a loss, Zhao Qi suddenly thought of something. He jerked his head up and looked into the gargoyle's eyes. It was the only place on its body that was not covered in stone skin.

"This is the guardian beast of the ruins." Lan Lingling said with a solemn expression, "It seems that it is not so easy for us to get out of here. ”

However, gargoyles are not idle. It seemed to sense the intentions of Zhao Qi and the others, and immediately closed its eyes, and at the same time brandished its huge stone arm and launched a counterattack against them.

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Only by working together can we defeat a strong enemy." My power alone is limited. ”

At this time, the energy fluctuation was getting closer and closer, and they could clearly feel a powerful sense of oppression coming. The trio stood back to back, staring warily ahead, ready for the danger to come......

When Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling heard this, they immediately understood Zhao Qi's intentions. They adjusted the direction of their attacks, concentrating their fire on the gargoyle's eyes.

The gargoyle was massive, several feet tall, and its body was made of hard stone, exuding a cold and majestic aura.

"Stand back, everyone!" Zhao Qi shouted, his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of the gargoyle.

"Whew-" Zhao Qi and the others let out a sigh of relief, and the big stone in their hearts finally landed. They knew that this life-and-death test was finally over.

2605:F700:43:6000::70F

A low roar suddenly sounded in the otherwise quiet air, and the entire ruins seemed to tremble at this moment.

"Spread out, don't give it a chance to attack in close quarters." Zhao Qi dodged the gargoyle's attack while commanding loudly.

Zhao Qi hesitated, but still handed the sword to Lan Lingling.

"Thank you seniors for the treasure!" Zhao Qi said excitedly.

However, no matter how much she tried, the stone door remained closed. The crowd was lost in thought, not knowing what to do.

"Bang!" A loud bang came, and Zhao Qi and the gargoyle slammed together.

When the people heard this, they had no choice but to move on. However, they didn't go far when they suddenly noticed a huge stone gate in front of them. The stone door is carved with ancient charms and patterns, exuding an aura of mystery.

"No, there must be a problem here." Zhao Qi shook his head and said, "Don't let your guard down and move on." ”

"Get out of the way!" Zhao Qi shouted, and his figure flashed to the side quickly like the wind. Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling also reacted quickly to dodge the flames' attack.

This sword was given to him by his master on his deathbed, and it is said to contain great power, but Zhao Qi has never been able to comprehend the mystery.

The flames burned on the ground, instantly forming a sea of fire. Zhao Qi and the others looked at the scene in front of them, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in their hearts. If they had been a little slower just now, I am afraid that they would have been engulfed in flames at this moment.

"It's finally out!" Yi Wuxiao stretched his waist and sighed, "That gargoyle is really difficult, if it weren't for Brother Zhao Qi, you would have to explain it there." ”

"Looks like we've found its weakness." Zhao Qi was overjoyed in his heart, and the offensive became more and more fierce.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. There is no sound in the forest except for the occasional birdsong and insect chirping.

At this critical moment, Zhao Qi felt a strong desire to survive in his heart.

They cautiously walked around the gargoyle's remains and continued on their way.

"Don't panic! We've got to find a way to get out! Zhao Qi said firmly. He began to look around for other exits, but found nothing.

"Boom!" As the spell was completed, a dazzling light shot out from the sword, enveloping the gargoyle in an instant. The gargoyle let out a terrible scream, and the stones on its body began to fall off piece by piece, revealing the core inside.

"Great, we've finally beaten it!" Yi Wuxiao shouted excitedly.

When Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling heard this, they immediately dispersed and attacked the gargoyle from different directions. However, their attacks left no trace on the gargoyle's hard skin.

"Attack its eyes!" Zhao Qi shouted loudly.

When the gargoyle saw that the blow missed, it did not give up. It took heavy steps and rushed towards Zhao Qi and the others. With each step, the ground trembled, as if it were about to level out the entire ruins.

Zhao Qi and Lan Lingling also immediately became vigilant, and they looked around trying to find the source of the danger. However, they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, only that the energy fluctuations were getting stronger and stronger, and seemed to be closing in on them.

"That being said, your sword is pretty powerful." Lan Lingling leaned over curiously, "Can you let me take a look?" ”

They looked up in astonishment, only to see a huge gargoyle appear out of thin air not far ahead, blocking their path.

After speaking, the figure of the old man gradually dissipated into the light. Zhao Qi and the others looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of expectations and longing for the future. They knew that this relic was just a small stop on their journey, and that there were many more challenges ahead for them.

"How can there be a stone gate here?" Lan Lingling said curiously, "Could it be the entrance to another ruin?" ”

"Let me try!" Zhao Qi let out a loud shout and rushed towards the gargoyle again. This time, he didn't fight the gargoyle directly, but urged the power of the spirit bead on the sword to draw a mysterious spell in the air.

After saying that, the old man pointed his finger, and the spirit bead in Zhao Qi's hand flew to the center of his eyebrows and disappeared. Zhao Qi only felt a warm current pouring into his body, and he instantly merged with his spiritual power.

"Don't waste your efforts, your attack doesn't hurt it at all." Lan Lingling said, "We need to find its weaknesses before we can have a chance to defeat it. ”

However, just as Zhao Qi and the others were about to return with a full load and leave this mysterious ruin, a sudden change occurred.

"Not good! There is danger! Yi Wuxiao shouted loudly. He quickly drew his weapon and prepared for battle.

His eyes were firmly fixed on the gargoyle in front of him, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of the mystery contained in the sword in his hand.

Seeing this, Yi Wuxiao, Lan Lingling and the others also urged the spiritual power in their bodies to launch a fierce attack on the gargoyle. However, their attacks left no trace on the gargoyle's indestructible body.

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew, and a strange atmosphere suddenly filled the forest. The crowd immediately became alert and prepared for battle.

After experiencing the battle of life and death just now, everyone's face was full of exhaustion, but there was a determined light in their eyes.

"Something seems wrong here." Lan Lingling suddenly said, "Everyone be careful. ”

The old man smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't thank me. You deserve it. Now you can leave this ruin. The outside world is much larger, waiting for you to explore and experience. ”

For a moment, the sound of fierce fighting sounded in the ruins. Zhao Qi and the others relied on their tacit cooperation and flexible skills to dodge the attacks of the gargoyle again and again. And their attacks gradually worked, and the gargoyle's eyes began to bleed.

The people who came were their friends Zhang Youyuan and Qian Wushuang. They also looked very happy when they saw Zhao Qi and the others, and immediately ran over.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Qi said with some surprise.

"We're here to explore!" Zhang Youyuan said with a smile. (End of chapter)
