Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Hengzhen explores the mystery and solves the dilemma

The ground was shaking more and more violently, and gravel was falling from the top of the cave, hitting my scalp and making it numb.

Hao Yang pulled me behind him and looked around vigilantly.

"This old guy is talking nonsense. What on earth does he want to do?" He spat, and his sunny and handsome face was full of gloom.

Elder Lin stroked his beard, his expression solemn: "The balance of the space rift... could it be referring to..." He hesitated to speak, and when he looked at me, there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

My heart skipped a beat. Would this old guy doubt the existence of the system in my body?

I forced myself to look back at him calmly, raising my chin proudly: "Why are you looking at me? I'm not a god, how would I know what this old man is talking about!"

Suddenly, a strong wind rushed out from the depths of the crack, blowing us to and fro.

I held on to Hao Yang's arm tightly, and was able to keep my balance.

The gravel fell like hail. Hao Yang used his body to protect me, and his back was hit with a bang.

"Yaoyao!" He called me anxiously, "Are you okay?"

I gritted my teeth, took out a healing pill from the system space, and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's okay! Hold on!"

At this moment, the mysterious old man appeared again.

He still looked calm, as if the chaos around him had nothing to do with him.

"Do you understand now? This is the consequence of destroying the balance." His tone was calm, but with a hint of warning.

I cursed in my heart, this old guy is clearly trying to be mysterious!

I was about to open my mouth to confront him, but the system suddenly said: [Warning!

caveat!

The space crack is about to collapse!

Host, please find the balance core as soon as possible!

】

Balanced core?

What the hell is that?

I was confused, but I didn't dare to neglect it.

I concentrated my mind and followed the system's instructions to begin sensing the energy fluctuations around me.

Soon, I felt a strange energy deep in the crack, weak but steady.

"I know!" I opened my eyes suddenly and pointed in a direction deep in the crack. "The balance core is there!"

A hint of surprise flashed across the old man's eyes, but then he regained his composure.

"You still have a chance to make up for your mistakes." He said, and lightly tapped the wooden staff in his hand. A path leading deeper into the crack appeared before us. "Go, but remember, this will be a test."

Hao Yang held my hand tightly, his eyes firm: "Yaoyao, don't be afraid, we are together!"

I took a deep breath and nodded.

Elder Lin also followed with a serious expression.

The three of us set out on this unknown road, and ahead lies endless darkness...

"Wait!" I suddenly felt a chill and turned back...

I turned my head sharply, but saw nothing.

Only the whistling sound of the wind and the crashing of rocks made me even more panicked.

"What's wrong?" Hao Yang asked me with concern.

I shook my head and said, "It's okay, maybe it's an illusion." But the feeling of being spied on was lingering, like a poisonous snake, quietly entwining my heart.

The path to the Core of Balance is more treacherous than I imagined.

There is a bottomless abyss under your feet and smooth cliffs on both sides. If you are not careful, you will fall into a place of no return.

To make matters worse, the road is filled with various traps and guardians.

We had not been walking for long when we encountered a monster that looked like a gargoyle.

It is huge in size and made entirely of rock, with a pair of scarlet eyes emitting a bloodthirsty glow.

Its attack was extremely fast. Its fist, like a boulder, smashed down with a whistling sound, and the ground was shaking.

Hao Yang was the first to be hit. He dodged the attacks nimbly and tried to attract the gargoyle's attention.

I was looking for its weakness. Elder Lin's family secret technique was like golden light, constantly attacking the gargoyle, but it could only leave shallow marks on its hard skin.

"Its weakness is in the chest!" I finally found the gargoyle's flaw. There was a lighter-colored stone on its chest, which looked like it was inlaid.

I immediately told Hao Yang and Elder Lin about my discovery.

Hao Yang seized the opportunity and punched the gargoyle in the chest with all his strength. Elder Lin's secret technique followed closely and hit the stone accurately.

The gargoyle let out a deafening roar, and its huge body collapsed.

We overcame all obstacles and finally approached the core of balance.

But there is a powerful shield around the core, emitting a dazzling light.

I tried to break through the shield with my own strength, but was bounced back by a powerful force and fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough..." I covered my chest and felt like all my internal organs were shifting.

"Yaoyao!" Hao Yang quickly helped me up, his face full of worry.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered a mysterious crystal he had obtained in the previous battle, which emitted a faint blue light.

"Try this!" He handed me the crystal.

I took the crystal, fused it with my powers, and tried to break through the shield again.

This time, the power of the crystal resonated wonderfully with my power, and the light of the shield gradually dimmed.

Just as we were about to repair the balance core, an evil force suddenly surged out from the inside of the core, like a huge black tentacle, instantly drawing me in.

"Yaoyao!" Hao Yang's heart-wrenching cry echoed in my ears. I tried desperately to grab his hand, but it was in vain.

The darkness swallowed me up, and I felt like I was falling into a bottomless abyss...

"No..." A cold voice sounded in my ears, "You can't escape..."
