When they saw the arrival of the Tianyangmen team, they cast vigilant glances one after another. But Zhao Qi smiled and stepped forward to greet them.

"Brother Zhang, don't come unharmed." Zhao Qi said to Zhang Yichen, the leader of the Beast Control Sect.

Zhang Yichen saw that it was Zhao Qi, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his composure: "Zhao Qi, I didn't expect you to come in person." ”

"Exploring the secret realm is a big deal. Naturally, I'm going to join in the fun. Zhao Qi said with a smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the mustard in each other's hearts seemed to dissipate a lot at this moment. They knew that in this exploration of the secret realm, the disciples of the two factions had to work together in order to deal with the unknown challenges.

As the light at the entrance of the secret realm gradually brightened, the two teams walked side by side and stepped into the secret realm full of unknowns and mysteries.

As soon as they entered the secret realm, everyone felt a strong aura rushing towards them.

The concentration of aura here is several times stronger than that of the outside world. They couldn't help but take a deep breath of air, and they felt all over their bodies.

"What a rich aura!" Yi Wuxiao sighed, "If you can cultivate here for a period of time, you will definitely be able to break through the bottleneck and reach a higher level." ”

Zhao Qi nodded, he felt the same way. But he knew that the main purpose of this secret realm exploration was not cultivation, but to find the legendary treasure and opportunity.

They walked along a winding path lined with lush trees and the scent of flowers. It's like an isolated wonderland, and you won't want to leave.

However, at this moment, a low roar suddenly came. Everyone followed the reputation, only to see a huge demon beast rushing out of the woods and rushing towards them.

"Everyone, be careful!" Zhao Qi shouted, his figure flashed, and he greeted him. He armed himself with a long sword and engaged in a fierce battle with the demon beast.

Yi Wuxiao, Zhang Youyuan and others were not to be outdone, and they showed their weapons one after another and fought with the demon beasts. Their cooperation was incomparable, and they soon cornered the demon beast.

"Roar!" The beast let out a desperate roar and turned and fled into the depths of the woods.

Zhao Qi and the others didn't chase after them, they knew that in the secret realm, the demon beast was only the smallest challenge. The real test is yet to come.

In the secret realm, the ancient trees are towering and the clouds are shrouded in mist. The Tianyangmen team led by Zhao Qi walked side by side with the disciples of the Beast Control Sect, exploring and moving forward in this mysterious space.

Everyone was on high alert, fearing that an unknown danger would befall them in the next moment.

"Everyone, be careful, there's something wrong here." Zhao Qi suddenly stopped, looking around with a frown. He has been cultivating for many years, and his perception of danger is far sharper than that of ordinary people.

As soon as he finished speaking, a low roar suddenly sounded, shaking the leaves of the trees to fall.

I saw a huge demon beast rushing out of the dense forest, its eyes were red, its fangs were exposed, and it exuded a strong fishy smell.

"It's a bloodthirsty wolf!" Someone exclaimed, and his face turned pale in an instant.

The Bloodthirsty Wolf is an extremely ferocious monster in the Secret Realm, known for its speed and strength, and extremely difficult to deal with.

Zhao Qi's eyes froze, and the long sword in his hand instantly came out of its sheath, turning into a cold light and slashing towards the wolf.

As a leader in Tianyangmen, his cultivation is profound, and this sword is naturally extraordinary. However, the bloodthirsty wolf was not to be outdone, and dodged the sword on one side of his body, and at the same time opened his bloody mouth and pounced on Zhao Qi.

"What a speed!" Zhao Qi was shocked, but his reaction was not slow at all.

His feet slipped, his body fluttering like the wind, and he skillfully whirled around the wolf. And Yi Wuxiao, Zhang Youyuan and others also showed their weapons one after another, and besieged this fierce demon beast with the disciples of the Beast Control Sect.

The battle is about to break out, and the two sides are fighting back and forth.

Although the bloodthirsty wolf is extremely fierce, it is gradually showing fatigue under the siege of everyone. It roared and rushed left and right to break through, but was cleverly blocked by Zhao Qi every time.

"This beast has great strength!" Zhang Youyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed, "If it weren't for Senior Brother Zhao here, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to hold on a long time ago." ”

"Don't be distracted, talk carefully!" Yi Wuxiao reminded as he swung his sword and slashed at one of the wolf's hind legs, "We just need to hold it down and wait for Senior Brother Zhao to find an opportunity to give it a fatal blow." ”

Sure enough, as Yi Wuxiao said, after dozens of rounds of fierce fighting, Zhao Qi finally found a flaw, and he saw the opportunity to pierce the heart of the mad wolf with a sword.

With a "poof", the long sword pierced through the wolf's body, and blood suddenly gushed out and stained the surrounding grass red.

"Whew-" The bloodthirsty wolf let out a last scream, and then fell to the ground without moving, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and they all put away their weapons and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

They knew that although they had killed this monster, there was still a long way to go, and no one knew what dangers and challenges they would encounter.

"Are you alright?" Zhao Qi pulled out his long sword, looked around and asked with concern, "Are you injured, or is your spiritual power consumed too much?" ”

"We're fine, Senior Brother Zhao." Everyone shook their heads and said that they were fine, they knew that having Zhao Qi in the team was equivalent to having a Dinghai Divine Needle, and they could turn danger into a disaster no matter what difficulties they encountered.

"That's good." Zhao Qi nodded and said with a solemn expression, "This bloodthirsty wolf is just an appetizer, the road behind is the real test, everyone must be careful and not take it lightly." ”

Everyone responded in unison, and they all said that they would obey Zhao Qi's arrangement, they knew that in this dangerous secret realm, only by uniting together could they go further.

After a short break, everyone set out to explore again.

In the secret realm, the fog was shrouded, and everyone followed behind Zhao Qi and stepped into the intricate labyrinth area.

The sight is dazzling, with countless passages crisscrossing as if there is no end.

"Be careful, everyone, this is a labyrinth." Zhao Qi looked around and said with a solemn expression, "We must find the exit, otherwise we will be trapped here." ”

When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads in understanding. They knew that in this unknown secret realm, Zhao Qi's wisdom and experience were their greatest reliance.

"Senior Brother Zhao, look here." Yi Wuxiao pointed to a passage and said, "There are strange symbols carved on the stone walls of this passage, could it be some clue?" ”

Zhao Qi stepped forward and carefully observed the symbols. After some scrutiny, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"These symbols are an ancient guide, and if you follow them in order, you should find the exit."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and they all said that they wanted to follow Zhao Qi forward. However, at this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew, and several faint green figures appeared faintly in the mist.

"Be careful! There are enemies! Zhao Qi shouted, drew his sword in his hand, and stared at those figures vigilantly.

I saw a few dark green figures gradually becoming clear, and there were a few hideous-looking ghosts. They let out a piercing scream from their mouths and pounced on the crowd.

"Don't panic, everyone! Fight the enemy! Zhao Qi shouted, and his body shuttled among the ghosts like the wind.

His long sword danced impenetrable, and with each swing of the sword, a cold light flashed, repelling the ghosts that pounced on him.

Yi Wuxiao, Zhang Youyuan and others also showed their weapons one after another and launched a fierce battle with the ghosts.

According to Zhao Qi's instructions, they formed a battle formation and cooperated with each other tacitly. Although the ghosts are numerous and cunning, they are gradually showing their defeat under the siege of everyone.

After a fierce battle, the last ghost was finally killed by Zhao Qi with a sword.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and put away their weapons one after another, wiping the sweat from their foreheads. They knew that although they had repelled the enemy just now, an even greater challenge awaited them.

"Are you alright?" Zhao Qi asked with concern, "Are there any injuries or excessive consumption of spiritual power?" ”

"We're fine, Senior Brother Zhao." Everyone shook their heads to indicate that they were unharmed, "Thanks to your command, we were able to repel the enemy smoothly." ”

"That's good." Zhao Qi nodded and said, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's find the exit and leave as soon as possible." ”

With that, he turned and walked to the marked passage: "Everyone, follow me, don't get separated." ”

Hearing this, the crowd followed and stepped into the passage.

The passage was narrow and tortuous, and everyone could only line up and move slowly.

Zhao Qi walked at the forefront, carefully observing the surrounding environment, for fear of missing any clues. And Yi Wuxiao was responsible for keeping a vigilant eye at the rear after the break, in case there was an enemy sneak attack.

Along the way, everyone encountered many forks in the road and traps, but they all relied on Zhao Qi's wisdom and the unity of everyone to resolve the crisis one by one. Finally, after a long journey, they came to a spacious hall.

"This should be the exit of the labyrinth." Zhao Qi looked around and said affirmatively, "Look at the hole above your head, it is the passage to the outside world. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked up, and saw a huge hole above the hall, revealing a faint light. They knew that this was the exit they were looking for, and they couldn't help but feel a wave of ecstasy in their hearts.

"Great, we've finally found an exit!" Someone couldn't help but cheer, "Senior Brother Zhao, you are really our lucky star!" ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhao, thanks to you, we were able to get out of the maze smoothly!" Others chimed in. They looked at Zhao Qi's eyes, full of admiration and gratitude.

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts, and I wouldn't be able to get out of the maze alone without you." ”

He paused and continued, "But we can't take it lightly, after all, this is still a secret realm, and danger may be encountered at any time. ”

Everyone nodded their heads in understanding, knowing that although they had found the exit, there was still a long way to go.

The scene behind the labyrinth shocked everyone.

An ancient ruin stands quietly, as if it has been waiting for a thousand years. The vicissitudes of life on the stone wall are covered with traces of time, and each stone seems to tell the glory of the past.

"Is this the ruins of legend?" Yi Wuxiao's eyes widened and he looked around curiously.

"That's right, there must be endless treasures hidden here." Zhao Qi's eyes were blazing, and his expression was full of anticipation.

Everyone cautiously stepped into the ruins, lest they touch the traps hidden in the shadows. Every step was like walking on thin ice, but their eyes were full of determination and determination.

"Attention, everyone, this place may be full of traps." Zhao Qi reminded him, and at the same time stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the stone wall, trying to find hidden clues.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of mechanism, and everyone immediately raised their weapons in vigilance. I saw a huge trap suddenly appear on the ground in front of me, and sharp blades stabbed at everyone from all directions.

"Be careful!" Zhao Qi shouted, and his figure flashed to the side like the wind. At the same time, Yi Wuxiao also waved the long sword in his hand, knocking the incoming blades away one by one.

"It's dangerous!" Zhang Youyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "The mechanism here is really cunning. ”

"Don't take it lightly and move on." Zhao Qi said with a solemn expression.

Everyone nodded, and continued cautiously on their way. They bypassed one trap after another, and finally reached the depths of the ruins.

There is a huge stone chamber with an old stone platform in the center. The stone platform is littered with glowing gems and mysterious runes, as if telling the secrets of the past.

"Is this the heart of the ruins?" Lan Lingling asked curiously.

"That's right, these gems and runes must be hiding the secrets of the treasure." Zhao Qi stepped forward and carefully observed the runes.

After some scrutiny and research, Zhao Qi finally found a way to open the treasure. He gently touched the gems in the order of the runes, only to see a dazzling light rise from the stone platform.

The crowd was amazed and gathered around. I saw a delicate treasure chest slowly rising from the stone platform, exuding an alluring light.

"Is this the legendary treasure?" Qian Wushuang's eyes widened and he said excitedly.

"That's right, we've finally found it!" Zhao Qi opened the treasure chest with an excited expression, only to see that it was filled with precious elixirs and magic weapons.

The crowd cheered and stepped forward to watch. They knew that although the trip to the ruins was full of dangers and challenges, they were rewarded handsomely in the end.

"Senior Brother Zhao, you are really our lucky star!" Yi Wuxiao patted Zhao Qi's shoulder and smiled.

In the depths of the ruins, a burst of strong medicinal fragrance came to the nostrils, as if you were in the beautiful place where the world was first opened. Zhao Qi and the others' eyes lit up, and they saw an elixir garden appear in front of them.

"There are so many elixirs here!" Yi Wuxiao was amazed, his gaze wandered among the elixirs, as if he saw endless treasures.

There are many kinds of elixirs in the garden, and they have different forms. Some elixir leaves are as green as jade, exuding a faint fluorescence.

Some elixir flowers bloom and are colorful, like elves in a fairyland; There are also elixirs with thick rhizomes that exude strong vitality. (End of chapter)
