Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

Xiao Muchen and his party, with a mixture of nervousness and excitement, finally embarked on the arduous journey to the Immortal Ancient Cave. Along the way, mountains, rivers and lakes passed by their feet, and the wind whistled in their ears, but it could not blow away the fire in their hearts that was ignited by the unknown.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Immortal Ancient Cave, everyone was shocked by the scene before them. A huge stone gate stood tall, as if it was the border to another world. On the stone gate, mysterious runes and patterns were like ancient spells, flickering with a faint light, as if telling the vicissitudes of time and the secrets hidden within.

The air around was filled with a heavy and ancient atmosphere, as if it was a thick curtain that had settled over the years, making people breathe cautiously unconsciously, for fear of disturbing this long-sleeping mysterious place.

Xiao Muchen took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and then slowly walked forward. He stared at the huge stone door, trying to find a clue to open it. His eyes were focused and sharp, not missing any tiny corner.

Lin Wan'er, Ye Feng, Ling Shuang and Chu Li spread out to the side, observing their surroundings vigilantly. Their eyes were full of vigilance, their ears listened to even the slightest sound around them, their weapons were tightly grasped, their muscles tensed, ready to deal with any sudden danger.

Lin Wan'er's long hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and her beautiful eyes were firm and calm. Ye Feng paced back and forth restlessly, the axe in his hand seemed particularly heavy, and his breathing was slightly rapid due to nervousness. Ling Shuang's posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his sword reflected a cold light in the sun, just like his stern expression at the moment. Chu Li held the staff tightly with both hands, her delicate body trembled slightly, but her eyes were full of determination.

After careful observation, Xiao Muchen finally found a small groove next to the stone door. The shape of the groove was strange and irregular, but it was surprisingly similar to a token in their hands. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if he felt the gears of fate starting to turn at this moment.

Xiao Muchen carefully took out the token from his bosom. It was a jade pendant that emitted a faint glow, and its warm texture seemed to contain endless power. His hands trembled slightly as he gently placed the token into the groove.

At the moment when the token fits perfectly into the groove, a low roar sounded, as if it was an ancient call from the depths of the earth. The stone door slowly opened, and an old and mysterious breath came like a tide, carrying the dust of time and unknown puzzles.

A dark passage appeared in front of everyone. A faint light flickered in the passage, like distant stars in the night sky, struggling to illuminate the way forward in the darkness, but it looked particularly eerie and terrifying.

"Everyone be careful!" Xiao Muchen's voice broke the brief silence. His eyes were serious and solemn, and he was the first to step into the passage. Others followed closely behind him, and the footsteps echoed in the silent passage, like the rhythm of a heartbeat, tense and firm.

The passage was filled with a damp smell, and water droplets dripped from the wall from time to time, making crisp sounds, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silence. The torch in Xiao Muchen's hand illuminated a small area in front, but the darkness was like an endless ocean that could swallow them up at any time.

Ye Feng couldn't help but shiver and muttered, "This place is so weird!" His voice echoed in the passage, carrying a hint of fear that was hard to conceal.

Lin Wan'er quickly lowered her voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to disturb something." She glared at Ye Feng fiercely, signaling him to keep quiet.

At this moment, a strange sound came from the front, as if something was approaching quickly. The sound was getting closer and clearer, as if countless feet were running quickly on the ground, or like the sharp noise of objects rubbing against the stone wall.

Xiao Muchen stopped and raised the torch, trying to see the situation ahead. Others also tightened their weapons, their heartbeats quickened, and their breathing became rapid.

"Get ready for battle!" Ling Shuang's voice was low and powerful. His sword was already unsheathed, and the sword body was flashing coldly in the light of the fire.

Chu Li muttered something and began to cast a protective spell for everyone. A faint light enveloped them.

As the sound got closer, everyone finally saw clearly that it was a group of dark creatures shaped like wolves. Their eyes flashed a strange red light, their fangs were as sharp as knives, and they exuded a foul odor.

"Kill!" Xiao Muchen shouted and rushed forward first. He swung the long sword in his hand, bringing up a sharp sword light, and instantly slashed at one of the dark creatures.

Lin Wan'er and Ling Shuang were not to be outdone, and they all displayed their unique skills. Lin Wan'er's sword was like a nimble snake, tricky and deadly; Ling Shuang's sword was extremely strong, and each strike contained great power.

Ye Feng swung his giant axe with great force, while Chu Li continued to cast spells in the back, providing support and treatment for everyone.

For a moment, the passage was filled with shouts of killing, the clash of weapons, and the roars of dark creatures. Blood splattered, flames flickered, and the battle entered a white-hot stage.

Xiao Muchen had been injured in many places, but his eyes were still firm, and the sword in his hand never stopped. Lin Wan'er's clothes were torn, but it did not affect her movements at all, but instead stimulated her fighting spirit.

Ye Feng's giant axe was already covered in blood and his physical strength was rapidly depleting, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, using all his strength in every strike.

Ling Shuang also had many wounds on his body, but his swordsmanship became more and more fierce, as if he wanted to vent all the anger and fear in his heart on the enemy.

Chu Li's forehead was covered with sweat. She kept casting spells, consuming a lot of spiritual energy, but she still held on, providing the final protection for everyone.

After a fierce battle, the dark creatures were finally wiped out. Everyone collapsed to the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.

"This has just begun. Everyone must not let their guard down." Xiao Muchen stood up with difficulty, a hint of fatigue in his voice.

The others also stood up, sorted out their equipment, and continued to walk deeper into the passage.

As they went deeper, the scene in the passage became more and more bizarre. Strange murals began to appear on the walls, depicting wars and mysterious rituals from ancient times. The ground also became rugged and uneven, with traps appearing from time to time.

"Watch your step!" Lin Wan'er's voice rang out, reminding everyone in time to avoid a trap hidden in the dark.

But danger came one after another. Some sharp stones suddenly fell on his head, as if a mechanism was triggered.

Ling Shuang reacted quickly and swung his sword to smash the stones one by one.

"Everyone speed up, we can't stay here too long." Xiao Muchen shouted.

Everyone quickened their pace and groped forward in the darkness.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw a ray of light ahead.

"Could it be the exit?" Ye Feng said excitedly.

But when they got closer, they found that it was not an exit, but a huge cave with some ancient treasure chests and mysterious magic tools in it.

"Be careful, there might be a trap!" Chu Li warned.

Just as everyone was hesitating, a low roar suddenly came from the cave, and a huge monster slowly walked out of the shadows...
