Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

After Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er supported each other and left the valley, they found a relatively safe cave to rest for a while.

"Senior Brother Xiao, what should we do next?" Lin Wan'er's face was pale, and there was a hint of fatigue in her tone.

Xiao Muchen frowned, thought for a moment and said, "The Dark Alliance will definitely not give up. We must find a way to improve our strength as soon as possible, or seek powerful allies."

At this moment, Xiao Muchen suddenly remembered that in the previous battle, the words of the leader of the Dark Alliance seemed to reveal a clue about the mysterious ruins.

"Wan'er, I remember that the leader once talked about some mysterious power in the ruins. Maybe that is our turning point." Xiao Muchen said.

Lin Wan'er's eyes lit up: "Then let's go find this relic quickly."

After some inquiries and searches, they finally got some vague information about this mysterious relic. It is said that this relic is hidden deep in an ancient forest, surrounded by powerful monsters and complex formations.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er did not hesitate at all and resolutely set out on the road to the forest. Along the way, they encountered various dangers. Sometimes ferocious monsters jumped out of the grass, and sometimes they had to deal with sudden natural disasters.

Once, they encountered a huge two-headed griffin on their way. The griffin's body was as tall as a mountain, and its wings spread out to block out the sun. Its two pairs of sharp eyes flashed with fierce light, which made people shudder.

This two-headed griffin was not only lightning fast, making it difficult to catch its figure, but also had amazing attack power. Every attack carried the force of a violent wind, as if it could tear everything apart.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er were not afraid of such a powerful enemy. Xiao Muchen took the lead and used his star fighting skills. The starlight was shining all around him, as if he was in the vast galaxy. He was agile and kept changing positions to attract the attention of the griffin. The two-headed griffin was enraged by Xiao Muchen's provocation, and the two heads rushed towards him frantically.

At this moment, Lin Wan'er seized the opportunity, Xiao Muchen dodged flexibly and continued to restrain the griffin's attack, while Lin Wan'er continued to cast spells.

After a tough fight, the two-headed griffin gradually became exhausted and its movements became slow. Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er seized the opportunity and launched their strongest attacks at the same time. Xiao Muchen gathered all his strength and delivered a star-like blow, while Lin Wan'er used a powerful magic trick. In the end, the two-headed griffin fell to the ground with a bang under their combined strength and could no longer get up.

Another time, they encountered a strong storm. The wind was howling, trees were uprooted, and the rain was pouring down, making the vision extremely blurred. Xiao Muchen held Lin Wan'er's hand tightly, and with his tenacious will and keen sense of direction, he struggled forward in the storm.

Finally, they came to the depths of the forest. In front of them was a foggy area, and some ancient runes could be vaguely seen flickering in the air.

"This should be the entrance to the ruins." Xiao Muchen said.

They walked into the mist carefully, and as soon as they stepped in, they felt a strong pressure coming towards them. The runes around them flashed with strange light, as if warning them not to get close.

Xiao Muchen took a deep breath and once again activated the divine weapon and the Netherworld Poison Fire in his body, trying to resist the pressure. Lin Wan'er also used the Qingfeng technique to create a protective shield for the two of them.

As they moved forward with difficulty, they found that the ground was covered with various traps. Some places would suddenly spurt out flames, and some places would shoot out sharp ice spikes. Xiao Muchen avoided the traps again and again with his keen observation and quick reaction ability.

"Be careful!" Lin Wan'er suddenly shouted.

They saw a huge rock falling towards them from above. Xiao Muchen pushed Lin Wan'er away in an instant, raised the Star Sword, swung it hard, and split the rock in half.

After some twists and turns, they finally passed through the fog and traps and arrived at the gate of the ruins. The gate was closed and engraved with complex patterns and runes.

Xiao Muchen carefully observed these patterns and runes, trying to find a way to open the door. Lin Wan'er also helped, recalling the knowledge she learned in the sect and offering some suggestions.

After continuous attempts, Xiao Muchen finally found the key to opening the door. He injected his fighting spirit into a rune on the door, and the door slowly opened, and an ancient and mysterious breath came to his face.

They walked into the ruins, and inside was a huge palace. The walls of the palace were inlaid with various gems, and the ground was engraved with mysterious lines. In the center of the palace, there was a huge stone platform, on which was placed an ancient scroll.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er walked up to the stone platform and picked up the scroll. The words on the scroll were ancient and obscure, but they still tried hard to decipher them.

At this moment, a low roar suddenly sounded in the ruins. A huge guardian beast slowly walked out of the darkness. This guardian beast was shaped like a Qilin and exuded a powerful aura.

"Prepare for battle!" Xiao Muchen gripped the Star Sword tightly, ready for battle.

Lin Wan'er also concentrated and prepared to cast a spell.

The guardian beast's eyes widened with anger, and it suddenly opened its bloody mouth, gushing out a stream of blazing flames, as if it was going to burn everything to ashes. Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er reacted quickly, their figures flashed like ghosts, narrowly avoiding the deadly flames.

Without any hesitation, they immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the guardian beast. Xiao Muchen's eyes were sharp, his hands were dancing, and he used the Star Fighting Skill. The bright starlight gathered around him, turning into a series of fierce attacks, heading straight for the guardian beast. At the same time, he controlled the Netherworld Poison Fire, and the blue flame was like a smart snake, constantly attacking the guardian beast.

Lin Wan'er was not to be outdone. She raised her jade hand lightly, chanted something, and cast the breeze spell. Under her control, the gentle wind turned into a tough shield, which blocked some of the attacks from the guardian beast for Xiao Muchen, and also created interference, giving Xiao Muchen more opportunities to attack.

The fierce fight continued. Although the guardian beast was powerful, it gradually fell into a disadvantage due to the tacit cooperation between Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er. There were many wounds on its body, and blood flowed out, staining its fur red. As the injuries worsened, the guardian beast's attacks gradually became slower, and its movements were no longer as swift as at the beginning.

Xiao Muchen's eyes focused, and when he saw the right moment, he gathered all his strength into his palm. He shouted loudly and unleashed his strongest attack. The powerful force was like a ray of light, instantly hitting the guardian beast's vitals. The guardian beast let out an unwilling roar and fell to the ground.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, but they didn't care about resting and continued to study the scroll in their hands. The ancient and mysterious words and patterns on the scroll seemed to hide endless secrets. They were fully focused and didn't miss any details. Gradually, with their unremitting efforts, they seemed to have found some clues about the mysterious power in the ruins, which made their tired faces reveal a hint of expectant smiles.
