Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Chapter 387 Mysterious Relics

Shi Potianjing, accompanied by Hua Dashao, Yunwu Piaoxue and other player monks whose strength should not be underestimated, stepped into the mysterious ruins with a solemn expression.

As soon as they stepped in, an ancient and mysterious atmosphere that seemed to have been buried for thousands of years hit them in the face, like a pair of invisible hands, gently plucking everyone's tense heartstrings.

The surrounding walls are densely engraved with strange runes. These runes emit a faint but mysterious light, as if they are whispering forgotten stories of the past, or silently warning intruders.

They held their breath and moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, as if every inch of ground under their feet was hiding a deadly trap.

Shi Potianjing rode on the black dragon, his eyes as sharp as torches, always alert to every subtle change around him. He held the spear tightly in both hands, and the tip of the spear flashed with a cold light.

Young Master Hua sat on Taowu's back, gently waving the folding fan in his hand, ready to release powerful spells at any time.

Yunwu Piaoxue rode the unicorn with a light body, the hidden weapon in her hand flashed with cold light, and she was on guard carefully.

Without any warning, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, making a dull roar. Sharp spikes suddenly emerged from the ground, like a group of fangs breaking out of the ground, and attacked everyone with bared fangs and claws.

Shi Potianjing reacted swiftly, shouting in a voice as loud as a bell: "Be careful! Don't panic, deal with it according to our previous agreement!"

At the same time, he jumped high on the black dragon, and the spear in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, with a whistling sound, accurately and powerfully knocking away the approaching spikes one by one.

Upon seeing this, Hua Da Shao swung his folding fan fiercely, muttering something, and cast a series of fire spells like a fire dragon towards the spikes, melting them instantly.

Yunwu Piaoxue controlled the unicorn to move flexibly, and the hidden weapons in her hands flew like snowflakes, knocking away the spikes that avoided the attack.

For a moment, there was a flash of light, and the roar of spells and the sound of spikes colliding were intertwined, deafening.

Although the battle was fierce, everyone was a cultivator and had all kinds of elixirs on them.

When someone's spiritual power was excessively depleted, he would quickly take out the Soul-Restoring Pill and swallow it. In an instant, a warm current surged through his body, and his spiritual power quickly recovered.

Shi Potianjing and his group continued to explore the ruins and made new discoveries.

They followed a deep passage and came to a huge secret room.

The secret room was filled with mysterious mist, and in the center stood a stone platform emitting soft light, like a lighthouse in the darkness, attracting everyone's attention.

An ancient immortal weapon was placed on the stone platform, surrounded by mysterious power fluctuations.

Shi Potianjing was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his throat. His hands trembled slightly as he was about to reach out to take the coveted magic weapon.

Suddenly, countless phantom monsters emerged from the secret room, baring their fangs and claws, making creepy roars, and rushing towards them frantically.

Shi Potianjing and others instantly entered combat mode, holding their weapons tightly, their eyes revealing determination and fearlessness.

The battle quickly entered a white-hot stage. These phantom monsters seemed to be driven by some evil force, pouring in from all directions endlessly.

What's even more tricky is that the monsters seem to be able to cooperate with each other. The big monsters are in the front to resist the attacks, while the flexible small monsters take the opportunity to drill out from the gaps and launch a surprise attack.

Some monsters were huge, waving their thick arms, creating a whirring sound in the wind and sending rocks flying wherever they went.

Some are agile and move like lightning, making it impossible to defend against them. Their sharp claws cut through the air, making a harsh sound.

Shi Potianjing vigorously brandished his spear while shouting, "We can't go on like this. There are more and more monsters. We have to find a way to break out!"

Hua Da Shao gasped and responded: "My magic can hardly keep up with their speed, what should I do?"

Yunwu Piaoxue also said anxiously: "I'm running out of hidden weapons. Everyone, hold on!"

Shi Potianjing rode on a black dragon, waving his spear tightly and casting heavy shadows. Every thrust could repel a group of monsters, but the number of monsters was too large, and he gradually felt his spiritual power consumption increasing.

At the critical moment, he quickly took out a spirit-gathering pill and swallowed it. Suddenly, the spiritual power in his body surged and he was full of strength again.

Hua Dashao opened and closed the folding fan in his hand quickly, releasing various spells one after another. Fireballs, ice cones, and lightning intertwined together and exploded in the group of monsters. The roar continued, but the monsters still continued to advance.

However, the monsters seemed to be becoming more and more resistant to spells, and the damage caused by spells that were once powerful was now greatly reduced.

Seeing this, Hua Dashao took a spiritual power enhancement pill without hesitation. In an instant, the light of the spell became more dazzling and its power increased a bit.

Yunwu Piaoxue controlled the unicorn to rush left and right, and the hidden weapons in her hands shot out like a rain of pear blossoms, each of which hit the monster accurately. However, the monster's attacks put her in danger and she was almost hit several times.

At this time, the unicorn's physical strength was also declining rapidly, and its speed was obviously slowing down.

She hurriedly took out a recovery pill and fed it to the unicorn. The unicorn neighed and regained its vitality.

The temperature in the secret room continued to rise as the battle progressed, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and blood.

The ground was riddled with holes from spells and monster attacks, and the runes on the walls were flickering violently, as if trembling from the fierce battle.

Shi Potianjing and others had more and more wounds on their bodies, and blood kept dripping down their arms and thighs, dyeing the ground beneath their feet red, but they had no intention of retreating.

Shi Potianjing roared angrily, "We can't fall here. For our goal, we have to fight! Everyone, concentrate your firepower and charge in one direction!"

The voice was like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the secret room. Upon hearing this, everyone's morale was boosted, their eyes rekindled with fighting spirit. They brandished their weapons once again and charged towards the monsters, engaging in a life-and-death battle with the phantom monsters.

Their figures shuttled among the monsters, interweaving with the monsters' roars, the collision of weapons, and the roar of spells, forming a tragic and spectacular battle scene.

During the fierce battle, Shi Potianjing suddenly discovered that the monster's attacks seemed to follow a certain pattern. While struggling to resist, he shouted, "Everyone, pay attention! The monster's attacks have a regular rhythm. If we find the right moment and combine it with the power of the elixir, we will definitely be able to fight our way out!"

Upon hearing this, everyone observed the monster's actions more intently, trying to find the key to breaking the deadlock in this chaotic battle.

Shi Potianjing stared at a huge monster. He saw that before each attack, the hair on its body would stand up slightly, and then it would swing its thick arms and sweep across.

Shi Potianjing seized the opportunity and at the moment when the monster's hair stood up, he shouted loudly and thrust out the spear in his hand. The tip of the spear accurately hit the monster's arm joint. The monster felt pain and its attack suddenly stopped.

Hua Dashao also discovered a pattern. Those small monsters that were agile and good at sneak attacks always launched surprise attacks in the gaps between the attacks of large monsters.

He condensed the spell in advance, and whenever the little monsters were ready to move out, he would release a spell containing powerful lightning power. For a moment, electric light flashed, and the little monsters squeaked in pain, and their offensive was temporarily curbed.

Yunwu Piaoxue, with the flexibility of a unicorn, was able to move freely among the group of monsters.

She discovered that when the monsters turned around, there would be a brief defensive flaw on their backs, so she controlled the unicorn and took advantage of the moment the monster turned around to quickly approach, shooting the hidden weapon in her hand like a meteor chasing the moon, directly hitting the monster's vital point.

With the close cooperation of everyone, the situation on the battlefield gradually turned around.

However, just when they thought they were about to break through the siege, a strange bell sound suddenly rang out in the ruins.

As the bell rang, the monsters that had been repelled seemed to be injected with new strength, their attacks became more frantic, and the attack patterns discovered before were completely ineffective.

Shi Potianjing was shocked. He realized that the ringing sound was extraordinary and it was likely that some special mechanism in the ruins was triggered.

At this time, the spiritual power in his body was continuously consumed. Although the Spirit Gathering Pill he had taken before was still working, if this continued, everyone would sooner or later fall into despair.

At the critical moment, Shi Potianjing suddenly remembered the runes they saw at the entrance of the ruins, perhaps they contained clues to solve the current dilemma.

While fending off the monster's attacks, he shouted to his companions, "Everyone, hold on. I'll think about the runes at the entrance. Maybe I can find a way to decipher the ringing!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Dashao and Yunwu Piaoxue immediately increased the intensity of their attack to buy time for Shi Potianjing.

Shi Potianjing closed his eyes and tried hard to recall the shape and arrangement order of the runes in his mind.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, as if he had grasped the key. He quickly opened his eyes and shouted to the crowd, "I think I understand. Everyone, follow my instructions and cast spells in a certain order. Perhaps we can disrupt the ringing!"

As he spoke, he began to quickly recite the order and timing of casting the spells, and Hua Dashao and Yunwu Piaoxue followed his instructions without hesitation.

For a moment, various spell lights intertwined together, competing with the monsters' attacks and the strange ringing sounds.

As the spell continued to be released, the strange ringing sound seemed to be disturbed, the sound became intermittent, and the monsters' actions were no longer so crazy.

Shi Potianjing was delighted when he saw this and shouted, "Try harder, we're almost there!"

Upon hearing this, everyone cast their spells even harder. For a moment, the secret room was filled with bright light, and the power of various spells intertwined to form a powerful energy field.

At this moment, a gigantic monster suddenly rushed over from behind, taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness. It was so fast that it brought with it a strong gust of wind that made it almost impossible for people to stand steadily.

Shi Potianjing caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye and his face changed drastically. Without time to think, he immediately gave up the spell he was casting, turned around and held his spear horizontally, ready to block the fatal blow.
