"There... is the entrance to the ancient ruins." Ling Feng's voice was solemn, and his eyes fell on the mountain shrouded in mist, as if he could penetrate the layers of mist and see the secrets hidden in them.

Cen Ran took a deep breath, followed Ling Feng, and stepped into the fog.

The surrounding scenery gradually became blurred, and only the ancient stone road under their feet proved that they were moving forward.

Wei Jing and Lin Yu followed closely, and even though they were weak, they did not dare to let their guard down.

Inside the ruins, the air is dull and oppressive, and an ancient and mysterious atmosphere fills the air.

The towering stone pillars were carved with strange runes, emitting a faint fluorescence that illuminated the surrounding space.

Cen Ran looked around, his heart filled with curiosity and awe.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, and the surrounding fluorescent lights flickered, as if they would go out at any time.

"Who is it?!" Wei Jing shouted, unsheathed the sword in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

In the darkness, several dark shadows flashed by at an astonishing speed.

"The Shadow Clan!" Ling Feng's face changed, and he waved the feather fan in his hand. A gust of wind blew out, forcing one of the black shadows back.

"Intruder, die!" A hoarse voice came from the darkness, which was creepy.

The Shadow Clan are dark creatures controlled by the Lord God. They feed on the essence of living beings and are cruel and evil.

Cen Ran and others were not in good condition at the moment, and seemed a little flustered facing the Shadow Clan's surprise attack.

Wei Jing's chest injury had not yet healed, and his movements were slow, and he was almost hit by a black shadow.

Lin Yu's spiritual power was exhausted and he could only hold on with difficulty. The spell in his hand also lost its former power.

Cen Ran gritted his teeth, brandished the dagger in his hand, and fought with the Shadow Clan.

Her movements were nimble and agile. Although she was not as strong as the Shadow Clan, she was able to barely withstand their attacks with her rich combat experience.

"Damn it!" Wei Jing groaned. His arm was scratched by a black shadow and blood gushed out instantly.

"Be careful!" Lin Yu exclaimed, a dark shadow attacked from behind him, and was about to succeed...

Seeing this, Lingfeng flashed and stood in front of Lin Yu. The feather fan in his hand turned into a sharp blade, forcing the black shadow back.

"Their attack..." Cen Ran suddenly discovered that the Shadow Clan's attack method was very strange. They seemed to be able to blend into the darkness and launch sneak attacks.

"Be careful!" Before Cen Ran finished speaking, a dark shadow...

A black shadow rushed out from Cen Ran's blind spot and went straight for her back!

At the critical moment, Cen Ran instinctively rolled forward and barely avoided the fatal blow.

However, the black shadow was so fast that when it brushed past Cen Ran's shoulder, its sharp claws left a deep wound on her arm that was visible to the bone.

"Cen Ran!" Wei Jing's eyes were bloodshot, and he swung his sword towards the black shadow without caring about his own injuries.

However, the sword seemed to have cut into the air, and the black shadow instantly disappeared into the darkness.

"Their attack is to use darkness to jump through space!" Ling Feng's eyes were sharp, and he waved his feather fan lightly, as if he was calculating something.

"They don't truly blend into the darkness, but rather use it to conceal their forms and perform short-distance space jumps in a very short period of time."

Lin Yu's face was pale, and he covered his chest, which had been hit by the Shadow Clan and blood was constantly oozing out.

"We won't be able to hold on for long at this rate..."

"We must find their weakness!" Cen Ran gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and scanned the surroundings, trying to find any terrain that could be used.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared again, aiming directly at Lin Yu!

Seeing this, Wei Jing stood in front of Lin Yu without hesitation and took the blow.

"Puff!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Wei Jing's body was shaking.

"Wei Jing!" Cen Ran exclaimed and hurriedly supported him.

Wei Jing's face was as pale as paper, his lips trembling slightly, but he managed to say, "I... I'm fine..."

The Shadow Clan's attacks became more and more fierce, and Cen Ran and others had almost no ability to fight back.

At this critical moment, Ling Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted, "Found it!" He pointed the feather fan in his hand at one of the Shadow Clan members and said hurriedly, "Look at the runes on their bodies!"

Cen Ran looked in the direction indicated by the spiritual wind, and saw some faintly flickering black runes on the body of the Shadow Clan...

"Those runes..." Cen Ran muttered to herself. Suddenly, her pupils shrank sharply. "Those runes are moving!"

Cen Ran stared at the moving runes with a sharp gaze, his brain working rapidly.

She remembered a special item she had won in the system lottery before - "Light to Break the Darkness", which is said to be able to break all dark forces.

Is it...

Without any hesitation, Cen Ran immediately took out the "Light that Breaks Darkness" from his backpack.

This prop looks like an ordinary stone, emitting a faint golden glow.

She took a deep breath, aimed the "Light of Darkness Breaking" at the nearest Shadow Clan member, and threw it out!

The "Light That Breaks the Darkness" accurately hit the black runes on the Shadow Clan.

With a shrill roar, the runes on the Shadow Clan's body instantly shattered, and it lost the ability to blend into the darkness, revealing its true form.

"Now!" Cen Ran shouted, and the dagger in his hand turned into a cold light, piercing the vital points of the Shadow Clan.

Without the protection of darkness, the Shadow Clan was like a tiger without teeth, and their fighting power plummeted.

Wei Jing and Lin Yu also seized the opportunity and fought back hard.

The spiritual wind fluttered like a feather fan, and the strong wind howled, forcing the shadow clan out of the darkness one by one.

The situation of the battle was reversed in an instant, and Cen Ran and others defeated this wave of Shadow Clan.

The strong smell of blood filled the air, but Cen Ran and others did not dare to let their guard down at all, because they knew that this was just the beginning.

After resolving the immediate crisis, they continued to delve deeper into the ruins.

Deep in the ruins, they found a huge stone door, which was engraved with ancient and mysterious runes and exuded a heart-pounding aura.

"This is..." Lingfeng walked to the stone gate, carefully observing the runes on it, frowning.

After a moment, he raised his head, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes: "If I'm not mistaken, behind this stone door may be the key to defeating the Lord God!"

However, there are powerful restrictions around the stone gate, and in order to open it, one needs to solve a complex puzzle.

Cen Ran and others gathered around the stone gate, carefully studying the runes and puzzles.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air was filled with tension...

Cen Ran's fingers gently brushed across the cold stone door, his eyes determined: "We must unlock it."
