After escaping from the lake in a panic, everyone did not retreat. Instead, they quickly adjusted their state and turned their attention to the ferocious water monster again.

Lin Yun's face was solemn. He knew very well that if he didn't completely get rid of the water monster, not only would he be unable to continue exploring the ruins, but it might also continue to cause harm.

"Everyone listen to my command. This time we will concentrate our firepower on attacking its head. That should be its weak spot." Lin Yun said loudly, while gripping the sword tightly in his hand, ready to attack again.

Everyone nodded, and each used their strongest spells and magic weapons, gathered their spiritual power, and attacked the water monster's head fiercely.

For a moment, a riot of light shone across the lake, interwoven with the roar of spells and the clash of magic weapons and the water monster. Feeling intensely threatened, the water monster waved its tentacles, attempting to fend off the attacks, but this time the attacks were more intense and concentrated, and it gradually began to feel overwhelmed.

Lin Xiao quickly formed seals with his hands, muttering something to himself. A powerful firestorm erupted from his hands, charging straight at the water monster's head. The flames burned across the lake, boiling the surrounding water. The water monster, enveloped in flames, roared in pain.

Another team member took out a magic weapon that could release the power of thunder and lightning. After injecting spiritual power into it, thick bolts of lightning shot out from the magic weapon and landed accurately on the water monster's head, causing it to twitch all over.

Under the concerted attack of everyone, the monster's head was finally severely damaged, and its resistance became weaker and weaker. Finally, with a dull sound of falling into the water, the monster's huge body slowly sank to the bottom of the lake, and there was no more movement.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could rest, Lin Yun said, "There must be something strange at the bottom of this lake. Perhaps it's related to the secret of this ruin. I plan to go down and take a look. You guys rest here and wait for my news."

"Lin Yun, the bottom of this lake is too dangerous. You can't go there alone. We will go with you." Lin Xiao said hurriedly.

The other team members also expressed their desire to go together. They knew that on the road to becoming an immortal, the power of the team was more important, and they must not let Lin Yun take the risk alone.

Lin Yun felt warm in his heart and nodded, "Okay, then let's all go down together, but be careful."

So, everyone cast water-avoiding spells, or took out magic weapons that allowed them to move freely in the water, and then slowly dived into the lake.

The light at the bottom of the lake was very dim. Only the magic weapons in everyone's hands and the spells they cast emitted a faint light, barely illuminating a small area around.

Lin Yun led the way in front. He was vigilantly paying attention to the movements around him, fearing that any danger would suddenly strike.

As they continued to dive, they discovered an ancient building at the bottom of the lake. It looked a bit dilapidated, but its former grandeur could still be seen. The door of the building was closed, and it was engraved with some strange runes. The runes emitted a faint light, as if guarding the building.

"Look, that building, there might be some secrets hidden inside." A team member said softly.

Lin Yunyou walked to the front door and carefully examined the runes on it. He tried to decipher their meaning, but like the runes he had encountered in the ruins before, these runes were too ancient and complex for him to understand.

Just as everyone was studying the gate runes, the lakebed suddenly began to vibrate slightly, and then, from all around the building, numerous small water beasts emerged. These beasts resembled fish, but with sharp teeth and claws. Their eyes were red as they pounced fiercely at the group.

"Be careful, it's a water beast!" Lin Yun shouted, and hurriedly waved his sword to slash at the water beast that was rushing towards him.

The other team members also took action, casting spells and magic weapons, and engaged in a fierce underwater fight with the water beast.

Although these water beasts are not strong individually, they are numerous and they are extremely flexible in the water, causing considerable trouble to everyone.

While Lin Yun was slaying the water beasts, he kept an eye on the gate. He noticed that as the water beasts continued to pour out, the rune light on the gate seemed to gradually weaken, as if the appearance of these water beasts was consuming the power of the runes.

"Everyone, please get rid of these water beasts quickly. I feel that the power of the runes on the door can no longer hold." Lin Yun shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone fought even harder against the water beasts. After a bitter battle, they finally killed all of them.

At this time, the rune light on the door had become extremely dim and was almost disappearing.

Lin Yun took a deep breath, knowing this might be his only chance to open the door. He carefully examined the door again and found a small groove on one side. The shape of the groove was very similar to the spirit crystal in his storage ring.

Lin Yun's heart moved, and he quickly took out the spirit crystal from the storage ring, and then carefully placed it into the groove.

The moment the spirit crystal was placed in the groove, the runes on the door suddenly lit up again, and the light was even more dazzling than before. Then, the door slowly opened, and a stale smell rushed out from inside.

Everyone swam slowly into the building with excitement and nervousness.

The space inside the building is very large, with some huge stone pillars placed inside. The stone pillars are engraved with various patterns and texts, which seem to be telling a long history.

In the center of the building, there is a huge round stone platform. On the platform is a crystal ball emitting a faint blue light. The light is very pure, and people feel as if their souls are cleansed at a glance.

"That crystal ball... doesn't look simple." Lin Xiao said.

Lin Yun also felt that this crystal ball must have extraordinary significance. He slowly swam towards the stone platform, wanting to take a closer look.

But just as he was about to approach the stone platform, a low buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the building, as if some ancient power was awakening.

Immediately afterwards, blue rays of light shot out from the crystal ball, shooting towards everyone like sharp arrows.

"Be careful!" Lin Yun shouted and hurriedly cast a spiritual shield to cover everyone.

The other team members also took defensive measures to resist the incoming blue light.

The impact of this blue light was extremely strong, constantly hitting the shield, making bursts of roaring sounds. The shield rippled under the impact of the light and was on the verge of collapse.

"Why would this crystal ball suddenly attack us? Did we trigger some mechanism again?" a team member said anxiously.

Lin Yun maintained his shield while pondering a countermeasure. He speculated that perhaps their arrival had triggered the building's defense mechanism again, leading to the current situation.

Just as everyone was struggling to hold up the shield, the crystal ball's attack suddenly stopped, the light gradually dissipated, the crystal ball stopped vibrating, and returned to calm.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the doubts in their hearts grew even more.

"What should we do now? Should we continue to examine the crystal ball?" asked a team member.

Lin Yun stared at the crystal ball, a flicker of determination in his eyes. He knew they had come this far and couldn't give up just because of this setback. Furthermore, the crystal ball might hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the ruins, or even the mystery of rebirth.

"Keep checking, everyone be careful, we'll try a different approach this time," said Lin Yun.

So, everyone gathered around the crystal ball again, ready to continue exploring the secrets of the crystal ball.

But at this moment, the light inside the building suddenly dimmed, as if something was swallowing up the faint light. Everyone was startled and looked around vigilantly.

I saw some black mist slowly emerging from every corner of the building. The mist became thicker and thicker, spreading rapidly and enveloping everyone.

"This fog... doesn't feel right." A team member said nervously.

Lin Yun also frowned. He could feel a strange power contained in the fog, which seemed to be affecting everyone's minds.

"Everyone be careful, this fog may be deceptive. Keep your mind focused and don't be affected by it." Lin Yun warned loudly.

Everyone nodded, each employing their own methods to resist the onslaught of the mist. Some team members channeled their spiritual energy to protect their minds, while others pulled out magical weapons that could dispel evil thoughts and held them tightly in their hands.

However, the mist grew stronger and stronger, constantly attacking everyone's defenses. Some team members began to show signs of trance, their eyes becoming blurry.

"Oh no, the fog is too strong, everyone hold on!" Lin Yun shouted anxiously.

He knew very well that if everyone's minds were completely controlled by the fog, the consequences would be disastrous.

Just as everyone was struggling to hold on, Lin Yun suddenly remembered a method he had seen in an ancient book to break this kind of bewitching fog.

He quickly took out a few glowing spirit crystals from his storage ring. These spirit crystals were something he had obtained by chance before and had a certain effect of calming the mind.

Lin Yun distributed the spirit crystals to the other team members and said, "Everyone, take these spirit crystals and inject your spiritual power into them. Perhaps you can resist the bewitching effects of this fog."

The team members took the spirit crystals and did as they were told. After injecting their spiritual power, they indeed felt that the influence of the mist on their minds had weakened a lot.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Yun once again cast his gaze towards the crystal ball. He decided to approach it more cautiously to see if he could find a way to break its defense mechanism.

Lin Yun swam slowly towards the crystal ball. Every time he moved forward, he carefully observed the movements of the crystal ball and the changes in the surrounding environment.

When he approached to a certain distance, he found that there seemed to be some fine lines on the surface of the crystal ball. These lines formed some strange patterns, as if telling some secrets.

Lin Yun's heart moved, and he stopped and carefully examined the patterns. He tried to search his memory for relevant information about these patterns, hoping to find the key to unlock the secrets of the crystal ball.

On the path to immortality, every new discovery could be a significant opportunity, or it could hide a huge danger. But Lin Yun and his companions must face these challenges one after another, constantly exploring to uncover the secrets hidden within the crystal ball within the ruins, as well as the many more precious opportunities that may exist...
