Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

Chapter 40: The Crisis of the Mysterious Valley

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er continued to walk deeper into the cave, and the atmosphere around them became increasingly eerie. A strange light flickered on the cave wall, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them in the dark.

"Senior Brother Xiao, I always feel that there is an indescribable weirdness here." Lin Wan'er followed closely behind Xiao Muchen, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Xiao Muchen looked solemn, and held the Star Sword in his hand tighter: "Be careful, Wan'er, there may be some unknown dangers waiting for us."

They moved forward cautiously. The ground beneath their feet became wet and muddy, and a rotten smell filled the air.

Suddenly, a huge stone door appeared in front of them, engraved with strange runes and patterns.

"The answer we are looking for may be behind this stone door." Xiao Muchen said, walking forward to carefully observe the runes.

Lin Wan'er also came over, frowning slightly: "These runes seem to be some kind of seal."

Xiao Muchen thought for a moment and tried to inject his fighting spirit into the stone gate, but the stone gate did not respond.

"It doesn't seem that simple." He muttered to himself.

At this moment, Xiao Muchen felt a weak power wave coming from one side of the stone door. He followed the wave and found a mechanism hidden in the stone wall.

"Wan'er, maybe this is the key to opening the stone door." Xiao Muchen pressed the mechanism carefully.

There was a dull sound, and the stone door slowly rose up, and a powerful breath rushed towards me.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er walked into the door, and the scene in front of them stunned them. This was a huge cave, surrounded by crystals that flashed with strange light. In the center of the cave was an ancient stone platform, on which was placed a book emitting a mysterious light.

"Is this the secret we have been looking for?" Lin Wan'er said in surprise.

Xiao Muchen walked up to the stone platform and was about to reach out to take the book when suddenly, the crystals around him shone brightly and rays of light shot towards them.

Xiao Muchen quickly swung his sword to block, and the Star Sword collided with the light, emitting sparks.

"Wan'er, be careful!" Xiao Muchen shouted loudly.

Lin Wan'er quickly cast a spell to form a shield in front of her.

The light attacks became more and more intense, and Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er gradually found it difficult to resist.

"This is not a solution. We must find the source of the light and destroy it!" Xiao Muchen shouted.

They dodged the attack of the light while observing the surroundings. Finally, Xiao Muchen discovered that the light came from a huge crystal ball on the top of the cave.

"Wan'er, I'm going to destroy the crystal ball, you cover me here! What's written on it?" Lin Wan'er asked.

Xiao Muchen opened the book and read the text carefully: "This seems to be about an ancient cultivation method, and also about the origin of this relic."

At this moment, the cave began to shake violently, and huge cracks appeared on the ground.

"Oh no, this place is going to collapse!" Xiao Muchen said.

They hurried towards the exit.

While running, Xiao Muchen suddenly found a fork in the road ahead.

"Go left or right?" Lin Wan'er asked.

Xiao Muchen felt the aura on both sides and said, "Go to the left!"

They rushed into the passage on the left, and the sound of falling stones continued to be heard behind them.

The passage was filled with thick smoke and dust, making it difficult to see the road ahead.

Xiao Muchen held Lin Wan'er's hand and kept rushing forward based on his intuition.

Finally, they saw the light ahead.

"It's the exit!" Lin Wan'er said excitedly.

However, when they were about to reach the exit, a huge python suddenly jumped out from the side and blocked their way.

The scales on the python's body flashed with cold light and venom spurted out of its mouth.

Xiao Muchen quickly pushed Lin Wan'er away and dodged the venom attack by moving sideways.

"Wan'er, you go out first!" Xiao Muchen shouted.

Lin Wan'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior Brother Xiao, be careful!" Then she ran towards the exit.

Xiao Muchen and the python started a fierce battle. The python kept hitting Xiao Muchen with its body, but Xiao Muchen dodged flexibly and took the opportunity to attack the python's weakness with the Star Sword.

After a hard fight, Xiao Muchen finally found the weak spot of the python and stabbed it with a sword. The python screamed and fell to the ground.

Xiao Muchen didn't have time to rest and ran towards the exit.

When he ran out of the cave, he found Lin Wan'er waiting for him anxiously outside.

"Senior Brother Xiao, I'm so glad you're okay!" Lin Wan'er ran over, her face full of concern.

Xiao Muchen smiled slightly: "I'm fine, sorry to have made you worry."

Just then, they found themselves in an unfamiliar valley, surrounded by high mountains.

"Where is this? How do we get back?" Lin Wan'er asked.

Xiao Muchen looked around and said, "Let's see if there is any other way out first."

As they were walking along the valley, they suddenly heard a cry for help.

"Someone is calling for help!" Lin Wan'er said.

Xiao Muchen ran in the direction of the sound and saw an injured man lying on the ground with several wild beasts staring at him hungrily.

Xiao Muchen said nothing, swung his sword and killed the beast, saving the man.

"Thank you for saving me," the man said gratefully.

Xiao Muchen asked: "Why are you here?"

The man said: "I am a villager from a nearby village. I accidentally got lost when I went up the mountain to collect herbs, and I encountered these wild animals."

Xiao Muchen said: "Then do you know how to leave here?"

The man shook his head: "I don't know, but I heard that there is an ancient temple deep in this valley. Maybe there is a way out there."

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er looked at each other and decided to go to the temple to find out.

They led the men to the depths of the valley. Along the way, they encountered various difficulties and obstacles, but they overcame them all with their strong will and superb martial arts.

Finally, they saw the ancient temple. The door of the temple was closed, and some mysterious symbols were engraved on the door.

Xiao Muchen once again used his wisdom and strength to open the door of the temple.

Inside the door is a spacious hall. In the center of the hall there is a huge statue holding a jade pendant in its hand.

"This jade pendant doesn't look simple." Xiao Muchen walked forward and wanted to pick up the jade pendant.

At this moment, the statue suddenly moved and attacked Xiao Muchen.

Xiao Muchen quickly retreated and started a fierce battle with the statue.

The statue's attack was extremely powerful, and each blow was powerful. Xiao Muchen dodged flexibly while looking for the flaws of the statue.

Lin Wan'er watched anxiously from the side, wanting to help but not knowing where to start.

While fighting, Xiao Muchen observed the statue's movements. He found that although the statue's attack was powerful, its movements were a bit stiff and its turning speed was slow.

So, Xiao Muchen deliberately went behind the statue and launched an attack.

The statue turned around and fought back. Xiao Muchen took the opportunity to leap into the air and stabbed the Star Sword straight into the statue's head.

"Hey!"

With a loud bang, the statue's head was hit and cracks appeared.

After Xiao Muchen landed on the ground, he slashed out with sword energy and hit the statue. Finally, the statue could not bear the weight and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Xiao Muchen breathed a sigh of relief, walked forward and picked up the jade pendant.

At this moment, the jade pendant emitted a ray of light, illuminating the entire hall.

A mysterious figure appeared in the light.

"You are finally here." said the mysterious figure.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er looked at the figure warily.

"Who are you?" Xiao Muchen asked.

The mysterious figure smiled and said, "I am the guardian of this temple. You have passed the test. This jade pendant will guide you out of here."

After saying this, the figure disappeared and an arrow mark appeared on the jade pendant.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er followed the guidance of the jade pendant and finally walked out of the valley.

"This adventure was really thrilling." Lin Wan'er said with emotion.

Xiao Muchen nodded: "But we also gained a lot."

They looked into the distance and continued on their new journey.
