I have a space to Taoyuan in the end times

Exploring the past and encountering danger

The cold sea water soaked through his clothes, and Cen Ran held his breath the moment he entered the water.

Below was not the hard reef as imagined, but a patch of soft seaweed.

Miraculously, everyone was unharmed thanks to the cushioning effect of the seaweed.

When they surfaced, they found that they were in a hidden bay. The steep cliffs blocked the view of the outside world, making it seem like another world.

"It seems that our bet was right." Cen Ran wiped the sea water off his face, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

Although Wei Jing and Lin Yu were still injured, they could not hide their excitement at this moment.

Ling Feng gazed around, his wise eyes gleaming with light, "This sea area is indeed unusual."

Going deeper into the bay, they found a path leading inland.

The surrounding vegetation is extremely lush and the air is filled with a strange fragrance.

After walking for a long time, the view suddenly opened up and an ancient relic appeared before everyone.

The mottled stone walls are engraved with strange symbols, and a breath of vicissitudes of life comes to the face.

"This is the place we are looking for." Lingfeng pointed at the ruins and began to tell the legend about it.

It is said that this place was once the settlement of a powerful ancient race who possessed unique magical powers.

Later, a mysterious disaster struck, and the race disappeared overnight, leaving only this abandoned ruin and the possible remaining magical power within.

As they stepped into the ruins, a chilling feeling instantly enveloped everyone.

The air around seemed to freeze, making people feel suffocated.

The symbols on the stone wall flickered with a dim light, as if telling an ancient story.

Cen Ran felt a powerful force surging, as if something was about to wake up.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and a vague figure appeared in the darkness.

It was tall and shrouded in black fog, its face could not be seen clearly, only a pair of scarlet eyes emitting a chilling light.

"Shadow..." Lingfeng's face suddenly changed, and there was a hint of fear in his tone.

Cen Ran clenched the dagger in his hand, feeling a strong sense of unease in his heart.

What is this shadow?

What does it have to do with this relic?

The shadow slowly raised his hand, and a powerful dark force rushed towards him...

The dark power surged like a tide, and Cen Ran felt his breathing stagnate, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

The shadow moved at an astonishing speed. In just a blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Cen Ran, waving its sharp claws and aiming straight for Cen Ran's throat.

Cen Ran reacted extremely quickly, dodging sideways. The dagger cut through the air but went straight through the shadow's illusory body.

"It's useless. Ordinary weapons are ineffective against it." Ling Feng's voice trembled slightly. He quickly formed hand seals, and a light blue light enveloped everyone. "This is a protective barrier. It can resist the erosion of some dark forces."

The shadow missed its attack and let out a sharp hiss. The black mist rolled and turned into countless tiny tentacles, wrapping around everyone.

Cen Ran only felt her arm tighten, and a biting chill instantly spread throughout her body. The dark power eroded her body, making her feel powerless.

"Cen Ran!" Wei Jing and Lin Yu saw this and attacked at the same time.

Wei Jing swung his sword, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, slashing at the black mist wrapped around Cen Ran's arm.

Lin Yuze muttered something, and a ball of hot flame condensed in his hand, smashing it hard at the shadow.

Although the sword energy and flames hit the shadow, they did not cause any substantial damage.

The shadow's figure flickered slightly and then returned to normal.

Instead, he seemed to be enraged and attacked even more fiercely.

Cen Ran gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain in his body, and tried to break free from the shackles of the dark power.

She felt the system energy in her body running rapidly, and a warm current flowed through her body, fighting against the dark forces.

"It's afraid of light!" Gu Ling suddenly spoke, his voice clear and firm.

Cen Ran's heart moved, and he immediately understood what Gu Ling meant.

She looked up at the top of the ruins, where there was a broken skylight and sunlight was pouring in through the gap.

"Wei Jing, Lin Yu, cover me!" Cen Ran shouted, exerted force suddenly, broke free from the shackles of the dark power, and rushed towards the direction of the beam of light.

Wei Jing and Lin Yu immediately understood Cen Ran's intention. They fought hard to resist the shadow's attack and buy time for Cen Ran.

Cen Ran dodged left and right under the shadow's attack, facing danger all around. Finally, she came under the beam of light...

Gu Ling looked at Cen Ran bathed in the sunlight, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and whispered: "It seems that he is not completely invisible..."

The sunlight poured down, and Cen Ran, bathed in the light, seemed to be wearing a layer of golden armor.

Gu Ling's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of something strange. "It's not completely invisible! After each attack, it will briefly materialize!"

Cen Ran was delighted, this was crucial information!

She immediately adjusted her tactics and stopped dodging blindly. Instead, she focused her attention and observed every move of the shadow.

The black fog rolled again, and the shadow let out a shrill scream. Its sharp claws, wrapped in strong dark power, rushed straight towards Cen Ran.

At the critical moment, Cen Ran held his breath, waiting for the fleeting moment of materialization.

coming!

The shadow's claws solidified briefly in the sunlight, gleaming coldly like black crystals.

It's now!

A gleam of light flashed in Cen Ran's eyes, and the energy that had been accumulated for a long time burst out instantly.

"The power of Taoyuan, bloom!"

A dazzling light burst out from Cen Ran's hand, dispelling the surrounding darkness like the rising sun.

The light hit the shadow directly, and it let out a sharp scream.

The black fog rolled and trembled violently, as if it was suffering great pain.

Under the illumination of the light, the shadow's body gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the air.

"Success?" Lin Yu shouted in surprise.

Cen Ran did not let her guard down, as she could feel that this was only a temporary victory.

This shadow is just a guard in the ruins, but what they have to face is far more than that.

Ling Feng walked to Cen Ran's side, his expression solemn. "This is just the beginning. The real challenge is yet to come." He looked up into the depths of the ruins, his gaze deep. "What secrets does this ruins hide..."

Cen Ran followed Ling Feng's gaze and saw a deep passage ahead, leading to unknown darkness.

An inexplicable breath coming from the depths of the passage made her feel a palpitation.

She gripped the dagger tightly in her hand, her eyes determined, "Let's go and see the truth about this ruin."

"Wait." Gu Ling suddenly spoke. She walked to the wall, carefully observed the strange symbols, gently ran her fingers over them, and muttered something in a low voice.

Suddenly, she stopped, her eyes fell on one of the symbols, and her face changed suddenly.

She turned around suddenly, looked at Cen Ran and the others, and said in a hurried tone, "Quick! Get out of here!"

Cen Ran's heart trembled, and before he could react, the ground suddenly shook violently...
