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

Everyone broke away from the trembling wolves and rushed towards the valley where the light fell.

The closer we got to the valley, the more we could feel a strange tranquility, which was completely different from the previous scene of being surrounded by wild beasts.

The entrance to the valley was filled with thick white fog, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face. The air was filled with a damp and corrupt smell.

Ding Chen walked in front. Relying on his extraordinary perception, he carefully explored the way, holding tightly in his hand the self-defense dagger given by Xiaoxuan.

"Everyone be careful, this fog is too strange." Ding Chen's low voice echoed in the thick fog, with a hint of vigilance.

However, just as he finished speaking, his feet suddenly felt empty and Ding Chen fell down instantly.

"Ah!" A cry of surprise echoed in the valley.

Xiaoxuan's face suddenly changed, and she flew towards the direction where Ding Chen disappeared, but only grabbed a handful of air.

"Ding Chen!" Xiaoxuan exclaimed, her voice full of worry.

General Lin and others also hurried to the edge of the trap, only to see that the trap was bottomless and filled with thick fog, making it impossible to see Ding Chen's situation.

"Brother Ding Chen!" Ah Hu was so anxious that he was spinning around, his rough face full of anxiety. "What should we do? This valley is very strange. Let's get out of here!"

Xiaoxuan ignored Ah Hu's suggestion. She took out a long rope from her waist, tied one end to the tree trunk beside her, and held the other end tightly in her hand. "General Lin, please take care of Ah Hu. I'll go down and take a look."

General Lin grabbed Xiaoxuan and said, "Miss Xiaoxuan, no! We don't know how deep this trap is, and the situation below is unknown. It's too dangerous for you to go down rashly!"

"But Ding Chen..." Xiaoxuan's eyes were red and her voice was choked.

"Oh my god!" Ying Feng suddenly said, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone, "I have the best Qinggong skills, and I'm also the most familiar with traps and mechanisms."

Just as Yingfeng was about to go down, Ding Chen's voice came from below the trap, with a hint of pain, "I'm fine, I just think my leg is twisted..."

When Ah Hu heard that Ding Chen was fine, he immediately perked up, "Brother Ding Chen, wait, I'll go down and save you!" Ah Hu was about to go down, but was stopped by General Lin, "Don't be reckless, this trap was obviously set by humans, there might be other mechanisms."

Suddenly, Yingfeng squatted down and carefully observed the soil at the edge of the trap, "Wait..." He reached out and pushed away the fallen leaves covering the edge of the trap, revealing a stone slab engraved with strange patterns.

Ying Feng's eyes fixed, his expression becoming serious, "This... is..."

Yingfeng lightly touched the pattern on the stone slab with his fingertips and muttered something.

As he uttered the last syllable, there was a slight "click" sound, and the stone wall next to the trap slowly opened, revealing a narrow passage leading to the bottom.

"I see." Ying Feng raised a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth and walked into the passage first.

General Lin and others followed closely behind.

The passage was not long, and they soon reached the bottom of the trap.

Ding Chen was sitting on the ground, rubbing his sprained ankle with a wry smile on his face.

"Fortunately, it's just a sprain, nothing serious." Seeing everyone coming, Ding Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Brother Yingfeng, for your help." Ding Chen bowed to Yingfeng to express his gratitude.

Yingfeng just nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Everyone supported Ding Chen and continued to move forward along the passage.

At the end of the passage is an open valley.

An ancient relic stood before everyone, exuding a mysterious and vicissitudes of life atmosphere.

The walls of the ruins are covered with strange runes, flickering with faint light.

There is an ancient and mysterious power in the air that makes people feel awe.

"Is this the place we are looking for?" Ah Hu looked at the ruins in front of him, his eyes full of curiosity.

However, just as he finished speaking, the stone statues around the ruins suddenly came alive, with red light emitting from their eyes.

"Oh no! It's a trap!" General Lin shouted, drew his sword and stood in front of everyone.

Countless arrows shot from all directions, pouring down like a rainstorm!

Ding Chen groaned as a sharp arrow hit his leg.

"Ding Chen!" Xiaoxuan exclaimed...

Xiaoxuan quickly tore off a corner of her skirt and skillfully bandaged the wound on Ding Chen's leg. Her brows were furrowed and her eyes were full of heartache.

Ding Chen held Xiaoxuan's hand and gave her a comforting look.

General Lin was like a god of war, wielding his long sword with impenetrable speed, blocking all the rain of arrows shot at the crowd.

Yingfeng was agile, moving through the rain of arrows, keenly searching for the control core of the mechanism.

Ah Hu was a huge man, standing in front of Ding Chen and Xiao Xuan like a mountain of flesh, using his body to block the arrows for them.

The rain of arrows was as dense as locusts, and everyone gradually became exhausted.

At the critical moment, a figure appeared out of nowhere, with white hair and a youthful face, and an immortal look. It was the white-haired sage.

He waved his sleeves lightly, and a golden barrier instantly enveloped everyone, blocking all the rain of arrows.

The rain of arrows suddenly stopped, and a low and ancient voice came from the depths of the ruins, like a whisper from ancient times, echoing in the valley: "Anyone who trespasses into the forbidden area will die..." The voice was majestic and full of warning, which made people shudder.

The white-haired wise man stroked his beard, looked solemnly into the depths of the ruins, and whispered, "It seems that we have touched upon some taboo..." Yingfeng walked to a stone wall engraved with runes, and gently brushed his fingers across the lines on the stone wall. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "This rune, I seem to have seen it somewhere..." He paused, as if he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked up at everyone, "Not good! This is..."
