I was reborn as a young master in an invincible family of immortals

Chapter 144: Subduing the Mysterious Creature and Taking a Break

Under the concerted attack of everyone, the mysterious creature's eyes were injured and it rolled on the ground in pain. Its struggles became smaller and smaller, and finally it gradually stopped moving and completely collapsed to the ground. Only its huge body was still rising and falling slightly, indicating that it still had a breath.

Everyone gathered around and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the mysterious creature being subdued. However, they still did not dare to be careless. After all, they were in this mysterious place full of unknowns, and no one knew what dangers were lurking in the dark.

"Don't let your guard down yet. Although we have temporarily subdued this thing, there is no guarantee that there won't be other similar creatures or other dangers appearing." Lin Yun reminded. Everyone nodded, observing their surroundings vigilantly while taking the time to recover their spiritual power. The hard battle with this mysterious creature just now had consumed a lot of spiritual power. They had to adjust their status as soon as possible in order to deal with the situation that might arise next.

Su Yao took out a few spiritual power-recovering pills from the storage magic weapon and distributed them to everyone. The pills melted in their mouths and turned into a warm spiritual power that slowly moistened everyone's dry meridians, gradually subsiding the feeling of spiritual power depletion, and everyone's complexion also improved a lot.

After everyone's spiritual power had recovered to about 70% or 80%, they decided to continue exploring deeper into the valley. The further they went, the thicker the fog seemed to become, and the more bizarre the surrounding scenery became.

They saw some trees on the side of the road with strangely twisted trunks and glowing fruits hanging on the branches. The fruits emitted a mysterious spiritual fluctuation, as if they contained some special power. However, no one had ever seen such spiritual plants before, and they did not dare to pick them rashly. They just looked at them curiously.

Further along, a gurgling stream appeared. The water wasn't the usual clear color, but rather a faint fluorescent glow. It made a strange sound as it flowed, as if telling an ancient story. Chen Yu squatted down and reached out to touch the water, but Lin Yun quickly stopped him, saying, "Be careful! This water looks unusual. It might be dangerous." Chen Yu quickly withdrew his hand and stood up. They cautiously walked along the stream's edge, feeling more and more that this mysterious place was permeated with an unfathomable aura.

As they walked, the fog ahead suddenly began to dissipate, revealing a vast, ancient ruin. Its architectural style was both simple and majestic, its walls covered in a variety of obscure runes and patterns. Some depicted ancient cultivators performing mysterious rituals, while others seemed to showcase powerful techniques or magical powers, leaving the viewer awestruck.

The gate to the ruins was tightly shut, its intricate forbidden runes shimmering faintly on it, as if guarding the secrets within. On either side of the gate stood two towering stone statues, carved into the likenesses of majestic mythical beasts. Despite the vicissitudes of time, they remained lifelike, their majestic demeanor seeming to warn anyone not to approach lightly.

"There must be a lot of secrets hidden here. Maybe it is related to the previous strange spiritual power fluctuations and the origin of this mysterious place." Lin Yun looked at the ruins in front of him, his eyes full of curiosity and expectation. Everyone nodded and quickened their pace towards the ruins, wanting to find out and uncover the mystery of this mysterious place.

Arriving at the gate of the ruins, everyone stopped and began to study the forbidden runes on the door. Wang Lin, an expert in rune restrictions, was naturally the first to take the brunt of the work. She walked forward and carefully examined the runes on the door, her brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, and she kept muttering some key points about the rune restrictions, trying to find a clue to decipher them.

The other teammates spread out around, keeping vigilant watch in case anything unexpected happened. While keeping an eye on the surroundings, Lin Yun provided Wang Lin with some spiritual support, helping her better perceive the changes in the runes' spiritual power.

After some arduous exploration and experimentation, Wang Lin finally located the key node of the restriction. She took out several carefully prepared spiritual energy sealing talismans and affixed them to the nodes in a specific order. Then she guided everyone to infuse spiritual energy together, enhancing the talismans' power. With a surge of spiritual energy, the light of the restriction on the door gradually dimmed. Then, with a click, the door slowly opened, and a stale, decaying aura, mingled with a hint of mysterious spiritual energy, filled the air, forcing everyone to cover their mouths and noses.

With a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, everyone slowly entered the ruins. The interior was spacious and dimly lit, with rows of stone platforms placed around the perimeter. These platforms held a variety of objects, including ancient scrolls, strangely shaped magical artifacts, bottles and jars filled with unknown liquids, and even some broken jade statues. It felt as if this place had once been a warehouse for important items, but now it exuded an air of desolation and decay.

Lin Yun and others dispersed and began to search for items on these stone platforms, hoping to find clues related to this mysterious place, or discover some treasures that would be beneficial to cultivating immortals.

Chen Yu picked up an ancient scroll and gently opened it. He found that the text on it was also obscure and difficult to understand. However, he could vaguely see some information about an ancient sect of immortal cultivation. This sect seemed to have mastered a powerful technique that could control special spiritual power, but later for some reason it suddenly disappeared in the long river of history. Could this mysterious place be where that sect once existed?

Su Yao found a small jade bottle emitting faint spiritual fluctuations in a corner. She opened the bottle cap and a strange fragrance came out. There was some crystal clear liquid in the bottle. The liquid had a special spiritual breath, which seemed to have some connection with the power emitted by the mysterious creatures outside. She hurriedly put away the small jade bottle and prepared to take it back for careful study.

Just as everyone was concentrating on searching for items, suddenly, a low roar came from the depths of the ruins. Immediately afterwards, a powerful spiritual power surged from the surrounding walls. The spiritual power quickly gathered to form a spiritual power blockade shield, enveloping everyone and cutting off their retreat.

At the same time, some sharp stone spikes began to appear on the ground. The stone spikes quickly emerged from the ground and stabbed towards everyone at an extremely fast speed, making it impossible to defend against them.

"Oh no, the mechanism has been triggered, everyone be careful!" Lin Yun shouted, and hurriedly waved his magic staff, casting a spiritual light curtain, trying to block the attack of the stone thorns. The other teammates also used their skills to resist. Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, and the spiritual power fluctuations turned into spiritual blades, shooting towards the area where the stone thorns were dense, cutting off some of the stone thorns; Chen Yu used the stealth technique to disappear in an instant, avoiding the attack of the stone thorns, and at the same time looking for opportunities to destroy the key parts of the mechanism; Wang Lin kept throwing out various talismans, some of which turned into raging flames, instantly forming a sea of ​​fire around the stone thorns, trying to burn the stone thorns; Zhao Gang raised his shield and blocked in front of everyone, relying on his super strong defense to resist the frontal impact of some of the stone thorns.

However, these traps seemed endless. When a batch of stone spikes were destroyed, new ones would appear from other places. Moreover, the spiritual power blockade was constantly compressing their activity space. The pressure was getting greater and greater, making people feel more depressed and anxious.

"We can't go on like this. We have to find a way to break this blockade, otherwise we will be pierced by these stone thorns and turned into hedgehogs sooner or later." Zhao Gang shouted anxiously, while using his shield to block the stone thorns and shouting at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun was also extremely anxious. While maintaining the spiritual power light curtain's defense, he observed the surrounding situation, trying to find a flaw in the spiritual power blockade. Suddenly, he discovered that there was a relatively weak spiritual power fluctuation at the top of the spiritual power blockade. Perhaps that was the key to a breakthrough.

"Everyone listen to me, let's concentrate our strength to attack the top of the blockade. It may be a weak point!" Lin Yun shouted, and increased his spiritual power to the extreme, launching a powerful attack on the top of the blockade. When other teammates heard it, they followed suit, gathering their spiritual power together and attacking in the same direction. For a moment, various spiritual power lights gathered at the top of the blockade, and a strong light and roar broke out.

Under the concerted attack of everyone, cracks finally appeared on the top of the spiritual power blockade shield. With a loud "bang", the cracks spread rapidly, and the blockade shield collapsed, turning into points of spiritual light and dissipating in the air.

But before everyone had time to be happy, they discovered that the stone spikes did not stop attacking because the blockade shield disappeared. Instead, they became even more ferocious. Moreover, many mysterious creatures similar to the ones they had encountered before emerged from all corners of the ruins. They pounced towards everyone with their fangs and claws, with murderous gleams in their eyes, as if they wanted to tear everyone into pieces.

"Oh no, more dangers are coming, everyone rush to the exit!" Lin Yun shouted and took the lead to rush towards the gate of the ruins. Everyone gritted their teeth and followed him, resisting the attacks of stone spikes and mysterious creatures while rushing towards the exit. At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds, that is to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible, but the enemies behind them were chasing them relentlessly. For a moment, the scene became extremely chaotic and dangerous.

After a desperate escape, they finally reached the gate of the ruins, but by then everyone was already wounded and their spiritual power was almost depleted. The mysterious creatures and stone spikes were still chasing them relentlessly, and from time to time, a mysterious creature would attack, making the situation even more difficult.

Just as he was about to rush out of the door, Chen Yu was unfortunately attacked by a mysterious creature. He flew out and fell heavily to the ground, spitting out blood from his mouth and his face turned extremely pale.

"Chen Yu!" Lin Yun shouted, anxious and wanting to go back to rescue him, but his teammates quickly grabbed him and said anxiously, "Brother Lin Yun, we can't go back now, or we'll all die here. Let's rush out first!"

Lin Yun gritted his teeth, his eyes full of pain and helplessness. In the end, he had to harden his heart and continue to rush out the door with the remaining teammates. After a lot of effort, they escaped from the ruins. Those mysterious creatures seemed to be afraid of some power outside the ruins and did not chase them out. Everyone stopped and collapsed on the ground. Everyone's heart was filled with grief and unwillingness. Not only did this exploration yield little, but Chen Yu was also seriously injured, which made everyone feel particularly heavy.

After everyone recovered a little, they quickly gathered around Chen Yu to check on his injuries. Chen Yu's injuries were extremely serious, his spiritual energy was disordered, and his meridians were damaged in many places. If he was not treated in time, he might be in danger of death.

Su Yao hurriedly took out various healing pills from her storage magic treasure and fed them to Chen Yu. Then she used her spiritual power to help stabilize his injuries and guide the disordered spiritual power back to its normal state. The others set up simple defensive restrictions around him and vigilantly observed the surroundings to prevent any further danger.

After emergency treatment, Chen Yu's injuries were finally stabilized temporarily, but he was still unconscious. He needed to return to the sect as soon as possible so that the elders could treat him with more professional means.

"Let's go back to the sect first. Although we encountered many dangers during this exploration and haven't figured out the secrets of this mysterious place, Chen Yu's injury is more important. Let's make plans after he recovers."
