I was reborn as a young master in an invincible family of immortals
Chapter 72: Ruins Exploration and New Dilemma
After successfully breaking through the monster's encirclement, Lin Yun and the others ran furiously until the monster's roar faded away behind them, only then did they slow down. They were now in a quiet corner of this mysterious space. Although the surrounding light was dim, it felt much more peaceful than the place where they had just fought the monster.
Everyone was panting heavily; the intense battle had consumed a great deal of their physical and spiritual energy. Lin Yun looked around, confirmed that it was temporarily safe, and said, "Everyone, rest here for a while and recover your physical and spiritual strength. That battle just now was extremely dangerous."
The teammates nodded and found a place to sit. Su Yao took out some spiritual energy recovery pills from her storage ring and distributed them to everyone. "Hurry up and take these pills to recover as soon as possible. We don't know what we will encounter next." As she spoke, she put a pill into her mouth, closed her eyes, and began to circulate her spiritual energy to speed up her recovery.
Lin Yun also swallowed the pill and calmed down, reviewing his previous experiences in this mysterious space. From the initial encounter with those glittering elves, to being sucked into various strange spaces, to the recent battle with the group of ferocious monsters, every step was filled with unknowns and dangers, but they also seemed to be closer to uncovering the secrets of the Shadow Cult, but the key clues were still elusive.
After everyone's spiritual and physical strength had recovered slightly, Lin Yun stood up and glanced forward. He saw the faint outline of a large-scale ruin not far away. The ancient and mysterious aura could be clearly felt even from a distance.
"Everyone, look over there. There seems to be a ruin. Maybe it contains important clues about the Shadow Cult or this mysterious space." Lin Yun said softly, his eyes revealing a hint of expectation and vigilance.
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and looked towards the ruins. Li Feng clenched his fists, wrapped in gauntlets, and said, "No matter what, we have to go take a look. We've come this far, and we can't miss any possible clues."
The group cautiously approached the ruins. As the distance closed, the full extent of the ruins gradually became clearer. It was a complex of buildings built from massive stone blocks. The stones were covered with traces of erosion, but faint patterns and runes could still be seen, these ancient marks silently telling stories of the past.
When they came to the edge of the ruins, they could feel a faint fluctuation of spiritual power emanating from inside. The fluctuation was not strong, but it revealed an indescribable weirdness that made people alert.
"Everyone be careful, this relic is not simple. Don't rush in, observe from the outside first." Lin Yun stopped and stretched out his arm to signal his teammates to stop. His eyes carefully scanned the entrance and surroundings of the ruins.
Everyone stopped as they were told and began to observe the periphery of the ruins carefully. Su Yao cast a detection spell again. She quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something, trying to get a deeper understanding of the situation inside the ruins.
After a while, she opened her eyes and said solemnly, "Lin Yun, I've detected complex fluctuations in the spiritual energy within this ruin. It seems there are several different spiritual energy sources, and these sources seem to be connected in some way, but I'm not sure what they are. Additionally, I sense the presence of some restrictions, but the strength of these restrictions is unevenly distributed, with some areas being weaker and others being stronger."
Lin Yun frowned upon hearing this, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Then let's try to start from those places where the restrictions are weak, to see if we can find a way to enter the ruins. At the same time, we should keep an eye out for any special places or items that might hold clues."
So, everyone slowly circled along the edge of the ruins, paying attention to the fluctuations of the ban, and carefully observing the patterns and runes on the stones, hoping to find a breakthrough or useful information.
As he circled, Lin Yun's gaze remained fixed on the patterns and runes on the stones. He discovered that some of the patterns seemed to follow a cyclical pattern, as if depicting some ancient ritual or process.
He stopped and pointed to a pattern on a stone and said to his teammates, "Look at these patterns. They seem to be telling a story, and this story may be related to the purpose of this ruins or the method of entering it."
The teammates gathered around, carefully examining the patterns. Lin Wan'er tilted her head, pondering for a moment, then said, "Lin Yun, I think this part of the pattern," pointing to a more complex pattern, "seems to indicate the location of a mechanism. Look at its shape and the direction of the lines around it. It feels like it's guiding something."
Lin Yun looked in the direction she pointed, and an idea struck him. He squatted down and began to search the ground of the ruins carefully. Sure enough, not far from the stone, he found a small bump on the ground. The shape of this bump was very similar to the shape suggested by the pattern.
"It is very likely this mechanism, but we don't know what the consequences will be if we trigger it. Everyone should be prepared first. If there is any danger, find a way to deal with it immediately." Lin Yun stood up and said to his teammates.
When everyone heard this, they all tightened their weapons. Su Yao also cast an auxiliary spell again to strengthen everyone's defense.
Lin Yun took a deep breath, then slowly reached out and gently pressed the protrusion. The moment he pressed, a low humming sound emanated from the depths of the ruins. Then, the ground beneath their feet suddenly glowed with light, rapidly spreading and enveloping them completely.
Everyone felt a flash of light before their eyes, and then they were swept into a completely new space by a powerful force. When they steadied themselves and took in the surroundings, they couldn't help but gasp in shock at what they saw.
This was an extremely vast space, the sky a deep purple, resembling an endless expanse of starry space. The ground was paved with a softly glowing crystal, also engraved with various intricate patterns and runes. These patterns and runes seemed to come alive under the light, constantly shifting shape and color.
In the center of the space stood a massive octagonal stone platform, each side engraved with intricate runes and patterns. Atop the platform sat several jade bottles emitting a faint glow. Subtle restrictions seemed to be operating around the vases, protecting the contents.
"This... what is this place?" Chen Yu said in surprise.
Lin Yun was also filled with doubts, but he knew he had to remain calm. "Everyone, don't panic. Let's see if we can find any clues or a way out," he said with forced composure.
Everyone approached the stone platform cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, fearing they would trigger any mechanism or trigger new dangers. When they reached the stone platform, they could sense an even stronger restraining force emanating from the jade bottle, attempting to prevent them from approaching.
"The power of this restriction is quite strong. Let's try to see if we can break it." Lin Yun said. He drew out his sword and poured his spiritual power into it. The sword instantly shone brightly.
Su Yao, beside him, formed hand seals rapidly, chanting a few words as she cast a supporting spell, enhancing Lin Yun's spiritual power and defense. Li Feng clenched his gauntlet-wrapped fists, ready to deliver a powerful blow at the crucial moment. Chen Yu swung the flame gourd and chanted a spell. A blazing flame erupted from the gourd's mouth, burning towards the restrictions surrounding the jade bottle. Lin Wan'er remained concealed, observing her surroundings from the shadows, ready to find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
Under the combined force of their attacks, the barrier surrounding the jade bottle trembled violently, the runes flickering, as if struggling. After some effort, the barrier finally cracked with a crisp sound, and then the light disappeared, completely losing its effect.
Lin Yun gently picked up a jade bottle. It was cool to the touch, engraved with delicate patterns and mysterious runes. Through the bottle, he could see a liquid emitting a faint blue light. The liquid seemed calm, but it exuded an unfathomable aura.
"The things in these jade bottles must be extraordinary. Maybe they are related to the conspiracy of the Shadow Cult or the secret of this mysterious space." Lin Yun said. He looked at the jade bottles carefully, trying to find some clues from the patterns and runes on them and the properties of the liquid in the bottles.
The other team members also picked up the remaining jade bottles and began to study them. Su Yao gently shook the jade bottle, watching the liquid inside flow, and said: "Lin Yun, I feel that this liquid seems to contain some special spiritual power, and this spiritual power is different from what we have encountered before, it is very strange."
Just as everyone was carefully studying the jade bottle, suddenly, a low buzzing sound came from the depths of this space, as if some kind of alarm had been triggered.
"Oh no, we have triggered some mechanism or alarm again. Everyone be careful!" Lin Yun's face changed and he shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately put down their jade bottles and quickly gathered together, forming a tight defensive circle with their backs to each other. Su Yao quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something. A soft spiritual light emanated from her hands, enveloping everyone and instantly enhancing their defensive capabilities.
Li Feng clenched his gauntlet-wrapped fists, his eyes piercing as he scanned his surroundings. He crouched slightly, ready to strike at any moment. Chen Yu, on the other hand, clutched the flame gourd tightly in his hand, silently chanting an incantation to unleash a flaming attack in an instant. Lin Wan'er, after disappearing into thin air, silently moved around, keeping an eye on every corner where danger might lurk.
Soon, a group of strange creatures emerged from every corner of the space. These creatures were slender, shrouded in a faint, flickering, multicolored light that made their forms seem ethereal. Their heads were diamond-shaped, and their eyes, like two bright stars, radiated an eerie light that made one afraid to look directly at them.
"What are these things? I've never seen such creatures before." Li Feng said with a frown.
Lin Yun's expression was grim, his gaze fixed on these newly emerged creatures, trying to determine their strength and attack methods from their movements and aura. "Whatever they are, everyone, be careful. Listen to my instructions and move together," he whispered to his teammates.
These creatures didn't seem to want to give them much time to think. As soon as they finished speaking, they rushed towards Lin Yun and the others. They were extremely fast, and under the cover of colorful light, they were like ghosts, and they closed the distance with Lin Yun and the others in an instant.
In this space full of unknowns, Lin Yun and others will face new challenges and continue to explore the secrets of the Shadow Cult and find a way out.
