Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Rewards and rewards are a dangerous and suspicious situation

He slowly took something out from his sleeve, an ancient wooden box that emitted a faint golden light.

The surface of the wooden box is carved with intricate patterns, like an ancient spell, mysterious and profound.

The guardian handed me the wooden box and said in a deep voice, "This is the reward you deserve." I stretched out my hand, and the moment my fingertips touched the wooden box, a biting chill suddenly hit me, as if countless tiny ice needles were piercing my skin.

I pulled my hand back abruptly, my body shaking uncontrollably.

Hao Yang held me and asked with concern: "Yao'er, what's wrong with you?" I gritted my teeth, tried hard to control my trembling body, and shook my head: "I'm fine." I didn't take the wooden box immediately, but took a deep breath and gently placed it on the ground.

An inexplicable feeling of unease came over me. I always felt that the thing in this box was not a good thing.

Hao Yang looked at me with some doubts, but didn't ask much. He just stood beside me silently, giving me silent support.

I squatted down and looked at the wooden box carefully, trying to find some clues.

The guardian looked at my actions with a glint of appreciation in his eyes.

"You're wise not to rush to open it." His voice was low and magnetic.

I raised my head and met his gaze: "I always feel that the things in this box are not as simple as they seem." The guardian smiled meaningfully, "You are very perceptive." He paused, and continued, "But you will open it eventually..." A chill still lingered on my fingertips, I stood up and looked at the guardian.

"What's in this box?"

The Guardian took a deep breath, as if telling an ancient secret.

"It comes from an ancient source of power, older and more powerful than the power inherited by your family. It has the power to change the world, but it may also be coveted by evil forces. If it is not opened properly, the energy it contains will cause an unimaginable disaster." His tone was solemn, with a hint of warning.

My heart sank. The things in this box were more dangerous than I thought.

Hao Yang's hand gently held mine. His palm was warm and strong, which gave me great comfort.

Suddenly, a suffocating evil smell filled the air.

I turned around suddenly and saw the Shadow Demon appear again. His eyes flashed with greed and he stared at the wooden box in my hand.

"I feel it, a powerful force...it belongs to me!" The shadow demon roared and pounced towards me.

"Yao'er, be careful!" Hao Yang protected me behind him, drew his weapon, and blocked the Shadow Demon's attack.

I didn't dare to delay and immediately gathered the new strength in my hands. A powerful energy surged in my palms.

I fought side by side with Hao Yang and had a fierce battle with the Shadow Demon.

The surrounding trees were destroyed by the aftermath of the battle, and the earth was shaking, as if the end of the world was approaching.

The Shadow Demon's power was even stronger than before. His attacks came like a violent storm, and Hao Yang and I gradually felt overwhelmed.

I gritted my teeth and fought hard, determined not to let the Shadow Demon get the power in the box!

Just when Shadow Demon was about to grab the box...

I caught a glimpse of a figure appearing silently at the edge of the battlefield.

The figure was shrouded in a large cloak, and my face could not be seen clearly, but the aura emanating from his body made me feel extremely familiar.

Could it be...

?

Before he could think about it, the Shadow Demon's attack came again. Hao Yang groaned and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

I became anxious and mobilized the strange power in my body. A strange energy flowed through my meridians to my fingertips, gathering into a dazzling beam of light, shooting directly at the Shadow Demon!

"Ah--" The Shadow Demon let out a shrill scream. He was hit by the beam of light and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. He fell heavily to the ground and struggled in pain.

Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, Hao Yang grabbed my hand. His hand was warm and strong, as if it could give me unlimited strength.

"Yao'er, are you okay?" His concerned eyes warmed my heart.

I shook my head and held his hand tightly with my backhand, "I'm fine, let's deal with him together!"

Just as we were about to launch another attack, a deep voice suddenly rang out: "No need, he no longer has the strength to fight." That voice...

I turned my head sharply and looked at the cloaked figure at the edge of the battlefield.

The cloak slowly fell, revealing a familiar face. It was him!

I could hardly believe my eyes.

"You...why are you here?"

He smiled slightly, his eyes deep and mysterious.

"Let me tell you, the real danger has just begun." He pointed to the wooden box on the ground, his tone meaningful, "The Shadow Demon is just an ant attracted by this force. The real danger is hidden deeper..." He paused, his eyes fell on my face, and his eyes seemed to see through everything about me, "And you are the key to open this door." After that, he turned and left, leaving only a meaningful sentence echoing in the air, "Are you ready for the real challenge?" My palms began to sweat, and Hao Yang also realized the seriousness of the matter. He held my hand tightly, his eyes firm, "No matter what happens, I will be with you." I nodded, looking at the direction where the mysterious wise man disappeared, my heart full of uneasiness.

What exactly is the "real danger" he is talking about?

I looked at the wooden box on the ground. It lay there quietly, like a sleeping giant, waiting for the moment to be awakened...

I took a deep breath, slowly bent down, and stretched out my hand...
