Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Breaking the talisman to uncover the truth goes against common sense

Deep in the gap was not the passage or secret room we expected, but a huge stone door engraved with intricate runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

I tried to understand these runes using the interpretation method passed down in my family, but soon encountered obstacles.

These runes are not simple records, but contain some powerful power.

Every time I tried to decipher a rune, a powerful shock would hit me, giving me a splitting headache.

Hao Yang held me in his arms with concern. His palms were warm and strong, which gave me great comfort.

"Yaoyao, don't force yourself. Let's take it slow." He comforted her softly.

I nodded, took a deep breath, and focused on the rune again.

I recalled the rune knowledge recorded in my family's ancient books over and over again, trying to find a way to crack it.

As time passed, beads of sweat appeared on my forehead and my body began to tremble slightly.

Suddenly, my heart sank and I realized a terrible fact.

If these runes are arranged according to the way recorded in the ancient family books, then there is no way I can decipher them, because these runes themselves are a trap!

Anyone who attempts to detoxify using conventional methods will trigger a more powerful restriction.

"Wait, what if it's the other way around?" A bold idea flashed through my mind.

I immediately abandoned my previous interpretation method and began to think from the reverse logic of the runes.

"Hao Yang, help me protect the law!" I said in a deep voice, with a determined light flashing in my eyes.

Hao Yang didn't ask any more questions, but just stood behind me silently, using his body to block any possible danger for me.

I closed my eyes and focused all my attention on the runes on the stone door.

I began to reverse the order of the runes and tried to activate them with opposite spiritual powers.

With a soft "click" sound, the runes on the stone door suddenly began to flicker, and a powerful force surged out of the stone door...

"It's done!

"I cried out in surprise, but before I could finish my words, an even stronger force pushed me back...

Hao Yang!

Hao Yang caught me steadily. His strong arms were like a safe harbor, giving me support in the stormy waves.

"Are you okay?" he asked with concern, with a barely perceptible tremor in his tone.

I shook my head to indicate that I was fine, but my eyes were fixed on the stone door that was slowly opening.

After the stone door was fully opened, we did not see the golden splendor or rare treasures we had expected, but an eerie darkness.

I subconsciously held Hao Yang's hand tightly, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

At this moment, the sound of metal friction broke the silence, and then a group of mechanical puppets emerged from the darkness.

Their bodies exuded a cold metallic luster, their eyes flashed scarlet light, and they were like messengers from hell, approaching us with a murderous aura.

I took a deep breath and thought to myself, "Oh no!"

It was obvious that these puppets were not ordinary creatures. The energy fluctuations emanating from them were even stronger than any enemies I had encountered before.

Hao Yang also sensed the danger. He protected me behind him and said in a deep voice, "Yaoyao, be careful!"

We stood back to back, ready for battle.

Hao Yang pulled out two daggers from his waist, with cold light flashing and his eyes as sharp as a knife.

I took a deep breath, mobilized all my spiritual power, and prepared to face this sudden and fierce battle.

"It seems that we underestimated the danger of this place." I whispered with a wry smile in my tone.

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? Even if the king of heaven comes, I will beat him up anyway!" Hao Yang grinned, with a raging fire of war burning in his eyes.

"Are you ready? Yaoyao!"

"Of course." I raised my lips, a confident glint in my eyes. "Quick victory!"

"Wait..." Hao Yang suddenly said, his eyes fixed on the chest of one of the puppets, "What is that?"

Metal debris flew everywhere, sparks flying.

I manipulated my spiritual power to form invisible threads that wrapped around those cold mechanical puppets, disrupting their movements.

Hao Yang was like a nimble cheetah, shuttling between the puppets, the dagger in his hand accurately piercing their joints.

Click, click, the sound of breaking metal was crisp and pleasant, like the music played by the god of death.

One, two, three...

More and more puppets fell at our feet, turning into piles of cold scrap metal.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of my forehead, but the excitement in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

This feeling of fighting side by side, this tacit understanding of sharing life and death, makes me feel extremely safe and happy.

During the break in the fight, Hao Yang pulled me into his arms and gently stroked my hair with his big hands.

"Yaoyao, you are amazing." His voice was low and hoarse, with a barely perceptible tremor.

I leaned on his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of my mouth.

"Same here, you're great too."

He looked down at me with eyes full of love and admiration.

This look made my heart beat faster and my cheeks feel slightly hot.

I gently pushed him away and said calmly, "Don't let your guard down. The battle isn't over yet."

"Yes, my dear wife," he said with a smile, his eyes shining with confidence.

We stood back to back again, watching our surroundings warily.

The remaining puppets seemed to have sensed our strength. They stopped attacking blindly and began to slowly retreat, gathering together...

"What do they want to do?" I whispered, with a sense of foreboding in my heart.

Hao Yang didn't answer, but simply held my hand tightly, staring intently at the gathered puppets. Beads of sweat formed on his palms...

"Yaoyao, be careful!

"

The sound of metal colliding became more and more frequent, shaking the ground slightly.

Those puppets, like building blocks, were pieced together to form a huge, ferocious mechanical monster!

Scarlet light flickered in the giant beast's eyes, carrying a breath of destruction.

My heart skipped a beat and I thought to myself, this is not good.

This thing is more difficult than we expected!

Hao Yang protected me behind him and held the dagger tighter.

"Yaoyao, its weakness should be in the head." His voice was calm and composed, as if no danger could shake his determination.

I squinted my eyes and observed the giant beast carefully.

It is huge in size, but extremely agile in movement. Every time it swings its giant claws, it carries an overwhelming momentum.

Ordinary attacks are completely ineffective against it.

My eyes fell on a small device on the giant beast's head. It was flashing with a faint blue light, like the giant beast's heart, continuously providing it with energy.

"Hao Yang, cover me!" I shouted softly, mobilizing all the spiritual power in my dantian.

"Okay!" Hao Yang rushed forward to meet the attack of the giant beast without any hesitation.

He was like a flash of lightning, moving between the giant beast's claws, attracting its attention.

I took a deep breath and mobilized my newfound spatial power.

The surrounding scenery blurred in an instant, and when it became clear again, I was already standing at the head of the giant beast.

The small device was right in front of me, flashing a faint blue light, as if mocking my arrogance.

I sneered, mobilized all the spiritual power in my body, condensed it into a dazzling beam of light, and hit the device hard.

"Boom——" With a loud bang, the device exploded and the blue light went out instantly.

The giant beast's movements also stopped, and its huge body collapsed with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

I landed steadily on the ground, and Hao Yang immediately rushed to my side and hugged me.

"Yaoyao, are you okay?" There was a hint of fear and relief in his voice.

I shook my head and leaned into his arms, feeling his warm body temperature.

"I'm fine." I raised my head and looked at the collapsed giant in front of me, my heart filled with the joy of victory.

"This thing is really troublesome." Hao Yang sighed.

I smiled and was about to speak when I suddenly felt a strange energy fluctuation emanating from the remains of the giant beast.

"Wait..." I grabbed Hao Yang's hand, my face serious, "It seems... something is about to come out..."
