"Be careful!" Wang Li hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiao Li, a trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes, "It seems that this artifact is not so easy to obtain."

People gathered around, staring at the gem, trying to find a way to get it. But no matter how hard they tried, the gem seemed to be integrated with the altar and could not be separated.

"Perhaps, we need to find a special method." Xiao Zhang suddenly spoke, with a hint of thought in his voice, "I remember that it was mentioned in ancient books that some artifacts require specific rituals or spells to be activated."

"Ritual? Spell?" Wang Li frowned. She tried to recall the ancient books she had read. "I remember that there were indeed some legends about the artifact, but there were few records of specific rituals and spells."

"Then what should we do?" Zhao Lei asked anxiously. He knew very well that they had come to this point and could not give up easily.

"Don't worry, there will always be a way." Xiao Li took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He stared at the gemstone, and an inexplicable courage and determination surged in his heart. "Since we can get here, we will definitely find a way to get the artifact."

At this moment, Wang Li suddenly remembered something: "Wait, I remember in ancient books, there was a mention of a ritual that could resonate with a divine weapon. But that ritual requires extremely high mental strength and willpower, and... and it is extremely risky."

"No matter how big the risk is, we must try." Xiao Li's eyes flashed with determination. He looked at everyone, and his voice was full of unquestionable determination: "We have come to this point today, isn't it for this moment? No matter what the result is, we must go all out."

Everyone nodded, knowing that at this moment, they had no way out. So, under the leadership of Xiao Li, they began to prepare for the ancient and mysterious ceremony.

The ritual process is extremely difficult, and they need to concentrate their mental strength and willpower to the extreme in order to resonate with the artifact. In this process, they not only have to face the test from the artifact, but also have to overcome their inner fear and anxiety.

But it was this firm belief and courage that allowed them to successfully establish contact with the artifact. The radiant gem suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then slowly flew into Xiao Li's hands.

"We succeeded!" Everyone cheered, their faces filled with joy and pride. They knew that at this moment, they had achieved their goal.

However, just as they were immersed in the joy of success, a powerful force suddenly erupted from the artifact. This force was so strong that they could hardly bear it.

"Be careful!" Xiao Li shouted, and he held the artifact tightly, trying to control the power. But at this moment, his body suddenly began to tremble, as if being swallowed by an invisible force. Seeing this, Wang Li hurried forward to stabilize Xiao Li, but the power was too strong, and she was almost knocked back a few steps.

"What's going on?" Zhao Lei asked in horror, his eyes full of anxiety. He had never seen such a terrifying power before, and for a moment, he even doubted whether they could really control this artifact.

Xiao Li's face turned pale as paper, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He was obviously in great pain. But he still gritted his teeth and refused to give up control of the artifact. He knew very well that once he let go, the power would probably get out of control, causing unpredictable consequences.

"Hurry! We have to find a way to help him!" Wang Li shouted anxiously. She looked around, trying to find a way to relieve Xiao Li's pain. But everything around seemed to be still, with only Xiao Li's painful groans echoing.

At this moment, Zhao Lei suddenly remembered something: "I remember that it seems that the ancient books mentioned that when the power of the artifact gets out of control, you can use some kind of spell to appease it."

"Spell? Are you sure?" Wang Li looked at Zhao Lei with some doubt. She knew very well that at this critical moment, any mistake could lead to irreversible consequences.

"I... I'm not sure either." Zhao Lei's voice trembled a little, but he still said firmly, "But this is our only hope at the moment. If we don't try, Xiao Li might..."

Wang Li gritted her teeth and finally nodded. She knew that Zhao Lei was right. They had no way out and could only give it a try.

So, Zhao Lei began to chant the ancient spell in a low voice. His voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to contain endless power. As the spell progressed, the raging power seemed to gradually subside.

Xiao Li's pain was also relieved a lot. Although his face was still pale, he was no longer in so much pain. He looked at Zhao Lei gratefully and said weakly, "Thank you..."

Zhao Lei smiled and patted Xiao Li on the shoulder: "We are a team, no need to be so polite."

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that they were able to escape danger this time thanks to Zhao Lei's timely response. But at the same time, they also realized that the power of this artifact was much stronger than they had imagined. If they were not careful, it could lead to catastrophic consequences.

"It seems that we need to learn more about this artifact." Wang Li said in a deep voice. She knew that this was just a small episode and the real challenge was still to come.

Xiao Li nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: "Yes, we must master the use of this artifact as soon as possible, otherwise it will likely become a burden to us."

In the following days, everyone began to study the artifact more diligently. They read a lot of ancient books, trying to find more information about the artifact. At the same time, they also began to conduct various experiments, trying to find a way to control the power of the artifact.

However, this process was much more difficult than they had imagined. The power of the artifact was too strong, and a little carelessness could lead to disaster. Several times, they almost lost control, but fortunately they stopped in time and no serious consequences were caused.

During this process, some people began to back off. They looked at their companions who had been severely injured due to the failed experiments, and their hearts were filled with fear and anxiety. They began to doubt whether they could really control this artifact and whether they were really capable of completing this adventure.

"Do we really want to continue?" One night, a young team member found Wang Li, his eyes full of hesitation and uneasiness. "Too many people have been injured because of this artifact. Can we... can we really afford such a price?"

Wang Li looked at him, with mixed emotions in her heart. She knew that the team member's worries were not unreasonable. But at the same time, she also knew that they had no way out. They had come to this point and could not give up easily.
