I was reborn as a young master in an invincible family of immortals
Chapter 10: Relics and Secret Treasures
After the stone door opened, a stale and decayed smell blew in, mixed with faint fluctuations of spiritual energy, making everyone excited and alert.
Lin Yun was the first to step through the stone gate, followed closely by the rest of the team. Inside was a long passage, its walls inlaid with faintly glowing night pearls, making the passage dimly illuminated. The faint light flickered in the silence, as if it could go out at any moment, adding a touch of eerie atmosphere.
They moved cautiously along the passage, occasionally hearing a gentle ticking sound from the depths, like the footsteps of time, which seemed particularly eerie in the silent ruins. With every step, they could feel their heartbeats quickening, and tension permeated the air.
After walking for a while, the passage suddenly opened up, revealing a spacious hall. In the center of the hall stood a huge stone platform, upon which lay several treasure boxes emitting various colors of light, evidently containing precious treasures.
"Look, that should be the treasure in the ruins!" A team member couldn't help but shouted excitedly.
But Lin Yun was not overwhelmed by the scene before him. He glanced around the hall and felt that it was too quiet here, so quiet that it was a little abnormal. There must be hidden dangers.
"Don't be anxious, be careful of traps." Lin Yun reminded.
However, not everyone could control their greed. One of the team members, Lin Yang, couldn't contain his eagerness and, ignoring Lin Yun's warning, rushed towards the stone platform.
"Lin Yang, come back!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, but Lin Yang turned a deaf ear to him.
Just as Lin Yang was about to touch the stone platform, the ground in the hall suddenly shook violently, and cracks spread out from all sides. Then, from the cracks, a number of puppets emitting a black aura emerged. These puppets were tall, their movements stiff yet extremely fast, their eyes flashing an eerie red light, and they pounced upon the crowd as soon as they appeared.
"Oh no, it's a mechanical puppet, everyone be careful!" Lin Yun shouted loudly, and at the same time quickly drew out his sword and prepared for battle.
Everyone came to their senses and cast spells, summoning magic weapons, preparing to deal with this sudden attack.
Lin Yang also realized his recklessness at this time. He turned around with horror on his face and wanted to run back, but found that the way back had been blocked by several puppets.
Seeing this, Lin Yun flashed and rushed towards Lin Yang. He brandished his sword, infusing it with spiritual energy. The sword instantly shone brightly and fiercely slashed at the puppet blocking Lin Yang.
"Dang!" The sword hit the puppet, making a sound of metal collision, leaving only a shallow white mark on the puppet. The defense of these puppets was surprisingly strong.
Lin Yun was shocked, but he did not retreat. He continued to wave his sword and attack the puppet, trying to open a way for Lin Yang to escape.
The other team members also joined the battle, and various spells flickered and intertwined in the hall. Lin Xiao quickly formed seals with his hands, muttering something, and a storm of fire swept out from his hands, burning towards the group of puppets. The flames licked the puppets' bodies, but they only paused for a moment before continuing to pounce on the crowd.
Another team member took out a magical weapon, a disc that could fire icicles. He injected spiritual power into the disc, and sharp icicles shot out like arrows at the puppets. Some puppets were struck by the icicles, and slight cracks appeared on their bodies, but they still did not fall.
Under the joint attack of everyone, although the puppets suffered some damage, their number was too large and seemed endless. They kept pouring out from the cracks, making everyone gradually feel powerless.
While attacking the puppets, Lin Yun pondered a countermeasure. He suddenly remembered that he had read about these mechanical puppets in an ancient book. It seemed that their actions were controlled by a core. If he could find and destroy that core, perhaps he could stop these puppets from moving.
With this in mind, Lin Yun began searching the hall for the puppet's core. His gaze quickly scanned the walls, ceiling, and stone platform, not missing any place where the core might be hidden.
He carefully examined every corner and every crevice, his eyes revealing concentration and eagerness. Time slowly passed during the intense search, but the puppets' attacks showed no sign of weakening. Everyone continued to struggle.
Finally, in a corner of the hall, Lin Yun discovered a crystal that shone with a strange light. The crystal was embedded in the wall, and there were some complex circuits connecting it. It was likely the core of the puppet.
Lin Yun didn't hesitate at all. He flashed and rushed towards the crystal. Just as he was about to reach the crystal, several puppets noticed his intention and turned around and rushed towards him, trying to stop him.
Lin Yun gritted his teeth, gathered all his spiritual power into the sword, and then slashed fiercely at the puppet that was rushing towards him.
After a hard fight, Lin Yun finally broke through the puppets' obstruction and arrived in front of the crystal. He raised his sword, poured all his spiritual power into it, and then stabbed the crystal fiercely.
"Crack!" The crystal was shattered by Lin Yun. In an instant, the puppets that were attacking everyone seemed to have lost power. They stopped moving, then slowly fell down and scattered all over the ground.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. This battle with the mechanical puppets had been truly thrilling.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't acted so recklessly, these puppets wouldn't have been attracted and almost harmed everyone." Lin Yang said with a guilty look on his face.
"Forget it, everything is fine now. Everyone should be more careful in the future." Lin Xiao comforted.
Everyone nodded, and then turned their attention back to the treasure box on the stone platform. After the previous commotion, everyone was even more excited about the treasures in these treasure boxes.
Lin Yun walked onto the stone platform and carefully examined the treasure boxes. Each box was engraved with a different rune, as if sealing the treasure inside to prevent its spiritual power from leaking out.
Lin Yun took a deep breath, then cautiously reached out and prepared to open one of the treasure boxes. At this moment, his heart was filled with both anticipation and trepidation, wondering what precious treasures were hidden in the box, and whether it would bring unexpected dangers again.
Just as his hand was about to touch the treasure box, a low humming sound suddenly echoed in the hall, as if some ancient power was awakening. Everyone suddenly became nervous and looked around vigilantly again.
Mysterious lights began to flicker on the walls of the originally peaceful hall. These lights gradually gathered into ancient pictures, which seemed to be showing some distant events. However, the pictures flashed too fast, and it was difficult for everyone to see the specific content.
"What's going on? Is there any other mechanism in this ruins?" a team member said worriedly.
Lin Yun frowned, his heart filled with doubts. He knew that in this immortal cultivation ruins, any abnormality could hide danger, and they must remain vigilant at all times.
However, the mysterious light and image did not pose a direct threat to them. It only lasted for a while and then gradually dissipated.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their vigilance remained undiminished.
Lin Yun once again focused his gaze on the treasure box. He knew that no matter what, they had come this far. In order to explore the secret treasures in the ruins, to improve their own strength, and to take a further step on the path of cultivating immortals, they must bravely unveil the mystery of the treasure box and face everything that might happen next.
In this world of cultivating immortals, opportunities and dangers always go hand in hand. Lin Yun and his companions must continue to grow through these challenges and move firmly towards the goal of solving the mystery of rebirth.
