I have a space to Taoyuan in the end times
Chapter 78 Treasure Box
Cen Ran walked towards the stone platform step by step, and the phantoms became restless. They twisted their bodies, let out silent roars, and formed a twisting barrier in front of her.
Rotting limbs, bleeding skulls, empty eye sockets...
Various terrifying images took turns to appear, trying to destroy Cen Ran's psychological defenses.
Wei Jing followed closely behind Cen Ran, his dagger shining coldly, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
He held his breath and his palms were slightly sweaty. Although he had prepared himself mentally, the horror of these phantoms was still beyond his imagination.
Cen Ran was not frightened at all by these horrific scenes.
She kept walking, her eyes fixed, as if she didn't see these phantoms at all.
She even made a face at those hideous phantoms and stuck out her tongue. Her playful look was out of place with the gloomy environment around her.
This sudden action stunned the phantom elves for a moment.
They didn't seem to expect that this human girl was not scared at all, but instead made faces at them.
The rhythm of the attack was interrupted, and the phantoms stopped roaring and twisting, as if the pause button was pressed, and they hovered in the air sluggishly.
This strange silence surprised Wei Jing.
He looked at Cen Ran, then at the still phantoms, his heart full of doubts.
Cen Ran's action was completely unexpected to him, but surprisingly effective.
"They...are not moving?" Wei Jing asked in a low voice, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
Cen Ran shrugged her shoulders, looking relaxed, "Maybe they think I'm too cute and can't bring themselves to do it." As she spoke, she continued walking forward, getting closer and closer to the stone platform.
At this moment, a phantom elf suddenly swooped down from the sky and pounced towards Cen Ran.
Wei Jing reacted quickly and immediately swung his dagger. A cold light flashed, forcing the phantom elf back.
"Be careful!" Wei Jing warned.
Cen Ran nodded, a cunning glint in his eyes.
"Wei Jing," she said in a low voice, "help me catch one." Wei Jing's eyes flashed, and the dagger in his hand swung out like lightning, accurately entangled a phantom elf that tried to approach Cen Ran.
The dagger didn't actually hurt it, it just trapped it in a cloud of tangible mist.
The phantom elf struggled, whimpering softly, but was unable to break free.
"Catch it!" Wei Jing shouted.
Seeing this, Cen Ran immediately stepped forward and lightly touched the phantom elf with her slender fingers. A light blue light flowed out from her fingertips, enveloping the entire phantom.
Her expression was focused and serious, as if she was performing some mysterious ritual.
"Shh, don't make noise." Cen Ran said softly, as if coaxing a child.
As the blue light flowed, the phantom elf gradually calmed down and stopped struggling.
Cen Ran closed his eyes, as if receiving some information.
After a moment, she opened her eyes, a glimmer of understanding in them.
"So that's how it is..." Cen Ran muttered to himself, "The treasure box contains a mysterious power that can enhance strength. No wonder these phantom elves are so protective of it."
She told Wei Jing the information she read.
It turns out that the treasure box is not an ordinary box, but a container that seals a powerful force.
To open it, you must solve a series of complex puzzles.
The two immediately began to study the information about the puzzle in the Phantom Elf's memory.
The walls of the ancient cave are engraved with all kinds of strange symbols and patterns, which seem to be the key to unlocking the treasure box.
Cen Ran and Wei Jing divided the work and worked together, one interpreting the symbols and the other deducing the patterns, trying to find the rules.
As time passed, the air in the ancient cave became thinner and thinner, and breathing became difficult.
Cen Ran felt dizzy, but she still persisted and refused to give up.
"I...I seem a little..." Cen Ran leaned against the wall, his face a little pale.
Wei Jing also sensed something strange in the air. He took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort, and said, "Hold on a little longer, we're almost there!"
At this moment, Cen Ran suddenly pointed at a pattern on the wall and said excitedly, "I know! This pattern... is exactly the same as the constellations on the star map!"
She quickly compared the star map with the pattern on the wall and found the key to open the treasure box.
As the last piece of the pattern was completed, a low roar suddenly came from the ancient cave.
"Not good!" Wei Jing's face changed, "They discovered that we had spied on their secrets..."
Cen Ran grabbed Wei Jing's hand and said with a firm look in his eyes, "There's no time to explain. Let's go!"
The treasure box on the stone platform shone brightly, like a small sun, illuminating the entire dark cave.
At the same time, the phantom elves let out sharp roars. They no longer attacked indiscriminately, but formed a rotating encirclement, trapping Cen Ran and Wei Jing in the center.
With sharp claws and dripping corrupt fluid, the Phantom Elves' attacks are more fierce and organized.
Cen Ran and Wei Jing stood back to back, waving their weapons and struggling to resist the attacks.
Sweat soaked their clothes and their breathing became rapid.
Wei Jing's dagger stabbed into the phantom elf's body again and again, but it was like stabbing into the air, without causing any substantial damage.
The phantom elves just flickered slightly before regrouping and continuing their attack.
"We can't go on like this!" Cen Ran panted, dodging the sharp claws of a phantom elf. "We must solve the mystery as soon as possible!"
At this moment, Cen Ran's eyes fell on an inconspicuous mark on the stone platform.
A light bulb went off in her head, and she recalled the scene she had seen in the phantom elf's memory before.
"I know!" she shouted. "It's the trail of the stars!"
Cen Ran quickly connected the symbols and patterns she had previously interpreted with the paths of the stars. She discovered that the carvings on the stone platform were not meaningless decorations, but corresponded to the paths of specific stars.
She told Wei Jing about her discovery, and they immediately began to solve the puzzle based on this idea.
As the puzzle was solved, the light on the treasure box became stronger and stronger, and the phantom elves became weaker and weaker. Their attack speed slowed down and their figures began to become blurred.
Wei Jing seized the opportunity, swung his dagger, and completely dispersed a phantom elf that was trying to sneak attack Cen Ran.
"It's almost there!" Cen Ran dodged the attacks while quickly solving the last puzzle.
When the last symbol was correctly placed on the stone platform, the treasure box suddenly vibrated violently, and the entire cave trembled.
The phantom elves screamed miserably, their bodies began to disintegrate, and turned into starlight that dissipated in the air.
Cen Ran and Wei Jing stared at the treasure box nervously, not knowing whether what was about to appear would bring blessing or disaster.
They were prepared for anything and kept their eyes fixed on the treasure box.
"It... is about to open..." Cen Ran said, holding his breath.
Wei Jing tightened his grip on the dagger and said in a deep voice, "Be careful."
