"How did you find this place?"

Elena's tone was stern but not without curiosity.

"I... I came here following an old map, I never expected to run into you."

Jack stammered in response, his eyes sparkling with a thirst for exploring the unknown world.

Leon stepped forward, patted Jack on the shoulder, and smiled.

"It's alright, young man!"

"We are all dream chasers."

"Since fate has brought us together, let's face the challenges ahead together!"

Lin Che nodded in agreement: "That's right, welcome to join our team."

at this time!

A low rumbling sound suddenly echoed within the treasure vault, alerting everyone.

The sound grew closer, seemingly coming from deep underground.

"What's happening here?"

Archie nervously looked around, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound.

Elena quickly took out a small, exquisite device from her backpack.

"This is a detector that can sense any abnormal fluctuations."

"It seems there's a hidden mechanism here."

Just as everyone was about to take action, a stone platform slowly rose from the center of the floor, covered with complex runes.

As the last few lines of text appeared, a huge projection materialized in the air—

It was a map of an ancient civilization, marking a place called the City of Aurora.

"The City of Aurora?"

The mysterious man frowned.

"Legend has it that it is the birthplace of ancient magic, and is said to hold the power to change the fate of the continent."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes were focused on the map, and an atmosphere of both excitement and caution filled the air.

"If we can find this place and unlock its secrets, perhaps we can prevent the impending disaster."

Elena said firmly.

"But this road is destined to be full of dangers, and no one knows what awaits ahead."

The mysterious person added.

Just as everyone was deep in thought, Jack stepped forward.

He picked up a stone, played with it for a while, and then put it back in its place.

"No matter what awaits us ahead, as long as we are united, there are no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

These words revitalized everyone, as if rekindling a flame of hope.

They knew that no matter how difficult the future might be, as long as they were of one mind and worked together, nothing was impossible.

Chapter 723: A Warning Sign, An Uncertain Path!

"Then it's decided, let's head to the City of Aurora!"

Lin Che waved his arms and shouted, his voice full of determination and courage.

Footsteps sounded again outside the door, this time more frequent and chaotic.

Clearly, more explorers or seekers came upon hearing the news.

"It seems we're not alone anymore."

Elena chuckled softly.

"Perhaps these new friends will become indispensable help on the journey."

Just as Lin Che was preparing to make arrangements for the next step of the plan!

A man in a magnificent robe walked by, followed by several fully armed guards.

"What happened here?"

The man asked a question, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the room before finally settling on the mysterious map.

"Is this map real? Can it guide people to the City of Aurora?"

See this scene!

Jack couldn't help but interject.

"We have indeed found the road to the City of Aurora!"

"But this road will not be easy to complete. We need to gather more strength to face the unknown."

"very good!"

"I am also willing to offer help."

The man smiled slightly and took a few steps forward to stand in front of the crowd.

"My name is Oliver, and I am a businessman from a faraway land, here in search of an opportunity to change my destiny."

"It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Mr. Oliver."

Lin Che went up to shake hands.

“We need friends and supporters like you.”

At that moment, the atmosphere in the air became even more intense.

The arrival of new members has not only increased the team's strength!

This has filled everyone with anticipation.

"However, we must act immediately, time is of the essence!"

Elena reminded her that she had already planned the route based on the latest information.

"Let's set off, towards the unknown yet bright future!"

With a wave of his hand, Lin Che led the knights on a new journey to the City of Aurora!

however……

Just as they were about to leave the vault, a low murmur suddenly came from the corner, as if it were a warning to them.

"careful!"

"The real test has only just begun..."

The sound was soft, but it was enough to alert everyone instantly.

Upon hearing the sudden low murmur, everyone immediately stopped in their tracks.

Elena quickly glanced around, her eyes sharp and wary.

"Who's there? Come out!"

The detector in her hand glowed faintly, indicating abnormal fluctuations in the vicinity.

A figure gradually emerged from the corner.

He was an old man draped in a cloak, his deep eyes revealing the wisdom accumulated over the years.

“You have done very well, but I must warn you that the road ahead is even more treacherous.”

The old man's voice was hoarse, yet it carried an undeniable strength.

"The City of Aurora is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Lin Che frowned and stepped forward.

"Old man!"

"Why are you saying that? We are ready to accept any challenge."

The old man sighed softly and slowly walked to the central stone platform, gently tracing the map with his finger.

"This is a cursed land, and many predecessors have tried to unravel its secrets."

“Ancient power is hidden there, and the consequences of its release would be unimaginable.”

Leon frowned, clearly somewhat displeased, and said.

"Then why did you still let us go? Did you want to see us make a fool of ourselves?"

The old man shook his head and smiled, his eyes gleaming with a gentle light.

"No, I'm just reminding you that true strength lies in unity and courage."
