As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

Led by Yingyue, everyone walked slowly along the narrow passage.

The surrounding stone walls are covered with ancient runes, which occasionally flash with a faint blue light, which is chilling.

Yingyue's footsteps seemed particularly heavy, and every step seemed to be stepping on an invisible trap.

Ding Chen followed closely behind, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, the long sword in his hand ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

He knew very well that there might be deadly traps hidden everywhere here.

"Be careful, the mechanisms here are very complicated." Yingyue's voice was low and suppressed, as if reminding everyone of the danger here.

Ding Chen nodded slightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

He carefully observed every stone slab in front of him, afraid of missing any tiny detail.

Xiaoxuan followed closely behind, her eyes switching back and forth between Ding Chen and Yingyue, her heart full of worry.

She knew that if something unexpected happened, they might not be able to escape unscathed.

Elder Gu walked at the end of the team, his gaze deep, as if he could penetrate the mist on the stone wall.

He whispered, "Shadow Moon, are you sure this is the right path?"

Yingyue stopped and turned to look at Elder Gu. A sneer flashed across her face. "Do you think I'll lead you to a dead end? Don't worry, this road is the only way out."

As soon as the words fell, a blazing firelight suddenly burst out from the darkness ahead, illuminating everyone's face.

Everyone's heart involuntarily tightened.

The Balrog appeared, wearing flaming armor and holding a huge flaming axe.

"Stop! Don't come near the treasure!" The roar of the fire demon made the whole space tremble slightly. His voice was like thunder, chilling.

Elder Gu stepped forward calmly, his tone calm and firm: "Lord Flame Demon, we just want to see the treasure, not rob it. I hope you can understand."

The Fire Demon sneered, his eyes filled with mockery. "Understand? You mortals who attempt to peek into the secrets of the treasure will only seek your own death."

A trace of fear flashed across Yingyue's face. Her knees trembled slightly, but she still pretended to be calm: "He is right. We have no ill intentions."

The fire demon's eyes suddenly became sharper, and he brandished the giant flaming axe, as if ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.

Elder Gu and Ding Chen looked at each other, and there was firm determination in their eyes.

"We won't retreat," Ding Chen said firmly, his voice echoing in the narrow passage. "To find the treasure, we must move forward."

The fire demon refused to listen to any explanation. He swung the giant flaming axe, and the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more intense.

The air around seemed to be burned by flames, and even breathing became difficult.

At this moment, Yingyue suddenly let out a terrified scream, and her body involuntarily stepped back.

"You will regret it!" Yingyue's voice echoed in the passage, full of despair and anger.

The fire demon refused to listen to any explanation. He brandished a giant flaming axe and chopped at everyone with the power to destroy the world.

A scorching hot wind blew in their faces, as if it was going to swallow them up.

The giant axe cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound that was deafening.

Everyone dodged in a hurry, stone chips flew everywhere, and the passage was in chaos.

Ding Chen pushed Xiaoxuan away and used his body to block the attack of the fire demon.

The scorching flames instantly engulfed his arm. The intense pain made him groan, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

He clenched his teeth, endured the severe pain, and did not let out a scream.

Xiaoxuan looked at Ding Chen's burned arm in horror, tears welling up in her eyes.

Youruo was so frightened that her face turned pale and the flute in her hand almost fell to the ground.

At this critical moment, Youruo suddenly put the flute across her lips and played a strange melody.

The sound of the flute was clear and melodious, yet it carried a hint of strange magic, echoing in the narrow passage.

The fire demon's movements suddenly became slow, he covered his head in pain, the flaming axe in his hand hung down limply, and the flames on his body gradually died out.

Everyone looked at this scene in surprise and couldn't believe their eyes.

Shadow Moon's

"How could this happen?" Elder Gu muttered to himself in disbelief.

"The sound of the flute... can actually disturb the mind of the Flame Demon..." Xiaoxuan covered her mouth and said in surprise.

Ding Chen covered his injured arm with a frown.

He looked at the fire demon warily, his heart filled with uneasiness.

He knew that this was only temporary and the Balrog would recover soon.

Shadow Moon walked up to the Fire Demon, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

"Are you okay?" she asked softly, a hint of concern in her tone.

The fire demon slowly raised his head, and his eyes gradually became clear again.

He looked at Yingyue, "Who are you?"

Yingyue smiled slightly, her smile mysterious and strange. "I am here to help you."

The Fire Demon looked at Shadow Moon. He seemed to sense a hint of danger, but he could not resist the mysterious power emanating from Shadow Moon.

"What... do you want to do?" The Flame Demon's voice trembled slightly.

Shadow Moon reached out and gently stroked the Fire Demon's face.

A hint of coldness emanated from her fingertips, causing the Fire Demon to shudder.

"I want..." Yingyue's voice was low and charming, "to make you mine..."

The Fire Demon's confusion lasted only a moment. He suddenly shook off Shadow Moon's hand and roared. The flames on his body became more intense than before, surging out like a volcanic eruption.

A scorching wave swept over, and the air in the passage became distorted in an instant, as if it was going to burn everything.

Ding Chen was the first to be hit and was surrounded by flames.

He felt like he was in a furnace, his skin burned and he had difficulty breathing.

He swung his sword, trying to cut a way out, but the flames clung to him like a leech, preventing him from moving.

He clenched his teeth, endured the severe pain, and tried to stay awake.

Youruo and Yingyue watched nervously, their hearts in their throats.

Youruo's hands were tightly gripping the flute, her knuckles turning white.

Shadow Moon's

Seeing this, Xiaoxuan hurriedly took out some special herbs from her medicine bag and sprinkled them around Ding Chen.

When the herbs come into contact with fire, they emit a faint fragrance and form a barrier to isolate the flames.

Ding Chen took the opportunity to rush out of the flames. His whole body was charred and his hair was singed, but his eyes were still firm.

"The source of his power is in his heart!" Xiaoxuan shouted, "Attack his heart!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Chen immediately locked onto the Flame Demon's heart. He took a deep breath, concentrated all his strength on the sword, and stabbed it fiercely into the Flame Demon's chest.

Seeing this, Elder Gu immediately came to help. He waved the staff in his hand, and a golden light shot towards the fire demon, attracting the fire demon's attention.

Ding Chen's sword accurately pierced the heart of the fire demon. The fire demon let out a shrill scream, and his huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and the flames on his body were extinguished.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Elder Gu looked at Ding Chen and Xiao Xuan.

Everyone walked towards the treasure, only to find that it was sealed by a mysterious power, engraved with complex runes and flashing with strange light.

Yingyue looked at the runes, a strange smile on her face: "It seems that we still need to solve a puzzle..."
