A Mysterious Journey Through the Shang Dynasty

The deep roar echoed in the treasure house, as if it was the roar of a demon from the abyss. Our heartbeats accelerated instantly, and we stared nervously into the depths of the treasure house, our palms full of sweat.

"This sound sounds so scary, what on earth is in there?" Lin Yao's voice trembled. She leaned closely against me, her body trembling slightly.

Mo Yu held the sword tightly, looking forward with a firm gaze, "No matter what it is, we must deal with it carefully. Everyone, don't disperse, stay alert."

The mysterious creature also let out a low roar, as if protesting to the unknown existence. It stood in front of us, with its hair slightly erected, as if ready to pounce at any time.

The magic wand in Wang Yue's hand flickered with light, and she whispered, "I can feel a powerful evil force approaching. We must be prepared."

As the roaring sound got closer, we finally saw a huge black shadow slowly walking out from the depths of the treasure house. It was a creature that looked like a lion, but its body was several times larger than that of an ordinary lion, and it was covered with a layer of black scales. These scales were like hard armor, flashing with a strange light, as if they could resist all attacks. Its eyes were like burning flames, emitting evil light, and a stream of black smoke came out of its mouth. The smoke had a pungent smell and seemed to contain some kind of toxin. Just a little inhalation would make people feel dizzy.

"What kind of monster is this?" I said in surprise.

Su Yao frowned. "I don't know either, but it looks very powerful. The scales on its body are very hard, and ordinary attacks may not work on it. And the smoke it spews seems to be poisonous, so we have to be careful."

The monster walked towards us step by step, and the ground trembled slightly with every step. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing sharp teeth, which were like sharp daggers, flashing cold light. It roared, and the sound seemed to have a powerful impact, making our ears buzz.

The mysterious creature went forward fearlessly and started a fierce fight with the monster. They bit and fought each other, and it was difficult to separate them for a while. The mysterious creature used its sharp claws to grab the monster, but the monster's scales easily blocked the attack. The monster used its thick tail to whip the mysterious creature fiercely, and the mysterious creature was beaten flying and fell heavily to the ground.

"We can't just stand there and watch. We have to help the mysterious creatures." Mo Yu said, raising his sword and rushing forward.

We followed and joined the battle. I swung my weapon and chopped at the monster's legs. The monster sensed my attack and dodged it flexibly, then swept its tail towards me. I quickly jumped away and barely avoided the attack. Where the tail swept, a big hole was smashed into the wall.

Lin Yao looked at us nervously and shouted, "Be careful!"

Wang Yue continued to cast magic, and beams of magic light shot towards the monster. The monster seemed to have a certain resistance to magic, and the magic light did not cause much damage to it, but it also successfully attracted its attention. The monster pounced on Wang Yue at a speed as fast as lightning.

Mo Yu took the opportunity to stab the monster's back, but the monster's scales were very hard, and the long sword only left a shallow mark on its back. The monster turned around angrily and pounced on Mo Yu. Mo Yu quickly retreated and distanced himself from the monster.

"This guy is too powerful, what should we do?" I said, gasping.

Su Yao dodged the monster's attack and said, "We must find its weakness, otherwise it will be difficult for us to defeat it."

Just when we were in trouble, the mysterious creature suddenly made a special sound. It seemed to be telling us something.

"Su Yao, can you understand what it means?" Mo Yu asked.

Su Yao listened carefully, "It said that the monster's eyes are its weakness, we have to attack its eyes."

"Okay, then let's concentrate our efforts on attacking its eyes." Mo Yu said.

We began to adjust our tactics and tried to get closer to the monster's eyes. The monster seemed to have sensed our intentions, and it became more vigilant in protecting its eyes and continued to attack us. Its attacks became more fierce, and the smoke from its mouth became thicker and thicker, blurring our vision.

"Everyone be careful, don't get hit by it." I shouted loudly.

Under the cover of the mysterious creature, we kept looking for opportunities. Finally, Mo Yu found a perfect opportunity. He took advantage of the moment when the monster attacked the mysterious creature, rushed up quickly, and stabbed the monster's eyes with a sword.

The monster roared in pain, and its body trembled violently. We took the opportunity to launch a more violent attack. Wang Yue's magic light kept shooting at the monster's eyes, and Su Yao and I also kept attacking it with our weapons.

With our joint efforts, the monster finally fell to the ground. Its body gradually became cold and the black smoke gradually dissipated.

We collapsed to the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.

"We finally defeated it." Lin Yao said with a sigh of relief.

Mo Yu looked at the mysterious creature and said gratefully: "Thank you, without your help, we would not have been able to defeat this monster."

The mysterious creature came over and gently licked our hands, as if to say you're welcome.

"Now that the monster has been defeated, let's continue looking for gems." Su Yao said.

We nodded, stood up, and began to look for the three special gems in the treasure house. There were a wide variety of gems in the treasure house, but we did not dare to take it lightly and carefully searched for gems that met the requirements.

After a while, Wang Yue suddenly shouted, "I found one!" She ran over excitedly with a gem in her hand.

The gem gleamed in her hand, somewhat similar to the one we found earlier.

"Great, we've found two gems, and there are two left," I said.

We continued to search in the treasure house, and the mysterious creatures also helped us. Finally, with our efforts, we found all four gems.

"We finally found it!" Lin Yao said happily.

We took the gems and returned to the previous room. According to the records in the ancient book, we placed the gems in the four corners of the pattern.

When the gem was placed, the pattern suddenly emitted a strong light. The light enveloped the entire room, and we felt a strong power surging.

"What's going on?" I said in surprise.

Su Yao looked at the pattern in the light and said excitedly: "I think this is the power to open the door of time and space. We may be able to go home soon."

However, just when we were full of expectations, something unexpected happened again. The light on the pattern suddenly became unstable and began to flicker.

"What's going on again?" Mo Yu said with a frown.

We looked at the pattern nervously, our hearts filled with worry. Are we going to encounter difficulties again? At this moment, the mysterious creature made an anxious sound, as if telling us something...
