Crossover Anime: In Type-Moon, join the chat group!

"You'll have to follow us and act together from now on."

Just as they continued their discussion on how to deal with the current situation!

The crystal ball the old man had given him began to glow faintly.

Is it trying to tell me something?

Oliver guessed.

Just then, a gigantic bird with wings covered in barbs descended from the sky, letting out a terrifying screech as it swooped down to attack...

As the enormous, monstrous bird was about to attack, the crystal ball shone even brighter.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible energy barrier appeared above their heads, successfully blocking the fatal blow.

"Thanks to this crystal ball!"

Elena breathed a sigh of relief.

"We don't know how long the protective measures can last, so we must find a way to solve the problem quickly."

Leah pointed to a towering ancient tree.

"I remember my mentor saying that such environments often conceal clues left by ancient wisdom..."

"Perhaps we can try to see if there are any mechanisms."

Following her advice, the group split up and carefully searched the nearby trees and rocks.

After some exploration, they indeed discovered some peculiar symbols carved on the tree trunk, as well as a small iron box buried below.

"Could this hold some secret about the Shadow Forest?"

Oliver took the metal box and tried to open it.

It was filled with scrolls and documents, as well as a few seemingly ordinary stone chess pieces—

But one piece was particularly eye-catching because it had a miniature maze pattern painted on its surface.

Chapter 726: Crisis Strikes Again, Wisdom Breaks the Stalemate!

"Is this the key to unlocking everything?"

The mysterious man stared at the chess pieces in his hand.

Just then, the roars of more demon knights echoed from outside.

"Oh no! They're back!"

Lin Che said anxiously, "We have to think of a solution quickly!"

At this point, Leah offered her opinion.

"Now that we have such an important tool in our hands!"

"Why not give it a try, use its power and see what happens...?"

"Maybe this is the key to unlocking the exit, who knows!"

So everyone worked together to arrange the stone chess pieces according to the layout of the mini maze—

As the last small piece was in place, the entire area suddenly shook violently, and a hidden entrance leading underground gradually rose up.

"Great, we found it!"

Mark said excitedly.

Elena clapped her hands in approval.

"Not bad, not bad, it was really your intelligence that solved the problem."

Lin Che nodded to everyone.

"Time is of the essence, let's hurry in and find the Heart of the Aurora. Remember, no matter what happens along the way, never act alone."

As everyone walked into the newly opened passageway one by one...

The demon knights outside were still circling around the perimeter, unable to enter...

After entering the underground ruins, the surroundings became unusually quiet.

Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty space.

The walls here are carved with intricate patterns, depicting many scenes of civilized life, as well as mysterious sacrificial rituals.

An indescribable aura filled the air—

It carries both the solemnity of history and a touch of unsettling emotional fluctuation.

"It seems like no one has set foot here for a long time!"

Jack looked around at the murals with curiosity and gently touched the cold, rough stone wall.

"But why does it feel so familiar?"

Suddenly, a golden light flickered in the distance, attracting the attention of several people.

"Look over there..."

Leon pointed towards the light source and whispered.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be another incomplete map fragment lying in the corner.

This map is more detailed than the previous one, not only marking many dangerous areas, but also revealing the locations of some previously unknown secret passages.

And important location markers such as 'Soul Altar' and 'Space-Time Rift'.

The mysterious man looked at the new map in his hand thoughtfully, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke.

"According to this newly obtained intelligence, to truly find the legendary power capable of changing the fate of the world, we will need to overcome several difficult trials before reaching the target location..."

Moreover, during this period, unexpected risk factors may arise, and there may even be life-or-death situations.

Hearing such heavy words, everyone fell silent for a moment!

The atmosphere also seemed somewhat heavy.

However, this was quickly broken by the renewed will to win.

Lin Che clapped his hands to boost morale.

Don't worry too much, everyone. After all, we now have resources we've never had before!

"And we have already overcome many difficulties!"

"I believe that as long as we are united, there is no problem that cannot be solved!"

He then turned to everyone and asked for their opinions on the next steps.

So what do you all think? Where should we go first?

"The Soul Altar or some other key coordinate?"

Chapter 727: Underground Ruins, New Mysteries Unfold!

Just as the team members were sharing their opinions and trying to determine the next route,

The words of the mysterious old man echoed in everyone's hearts once again.

Remember to maintain trust in each other; only then can you ultimately achieve victory...

After a brief discussion, the team decided to head to the Soul Altar marked on the map first.

It is said that ancient wisdom is hidden there, and it may also be the only way to the Heart of the Aurora.

Despite some trepidation, Lin Che's encouragement gave everyone renewed courage, and they embarked on the next step of their unknown journey.

They continued onward, walking for a long time in this silent and ancient underground, before they gradually saw a faint purple light appearing in the distance.

As the distance decreased, a huge semi-circular structure came into view—this was the soul altar they had been searching for.

Just as the group cautiously approached, several shadows suddenly emerged from the corner.

"Oh dear! What's going on?"

Leah cried out and clung tightly to Jack for comfort.

however……

Soon everyone let their guard down!

Because they discovered that these new faces were actually several seemingly friendly travelers.

The leader was a young man who looked to be about the same age as Lin Che, with a friendly yet slightly wary smile on his face.

"Welcome to the Altar of Souls."

His voice was warm and powerful when he spoke.

"I am Reynolds!"

"We'll be guarding this area for the time being. May I ask what brings you here?"

"Oh, hello! We've come here following an old map, hoping to find the so-called Heart of the Aurora!"
