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

"Oh no! This is... a formation that seals the ancient ferocious beast!" Ying Feng's voice echoed in the ruins, with a hint of unbelievable fear.

The white-haired wise man's face suddenly changed. He understood what Yingfeng meant. If the formation was destroyed, the sealed ancient ferocious beast would reappear in the world, which would cause a catastrophe.

"We must stop it!" Ding Chen's voice was firm and powerful. He held Xiaoxuan's hand tightly, and there was a determined light in his eyes.

Xiaoxuan shook his hand back and gave him an encouraging look. The two of them understood each other and there was no need for words.

"Anyone who trespasses into the forbidden area will die!" The ancient voice sounded again, this time, the voice was filled with anger and murderous intent.

The pressure inside the ruins suddenly increased, and everyone felt as if they were carrying a heavy burden, and breathing became difficult.

General Lin roared, and the long sword in his hand shone brightly. He chopped hard, trying to break the powerful pressure.

Ah Hu also let out a thunderous roar, waving the giant axe in his hand to clear the way for everyone.

Ying Feng quickly searched for the weakness of the formation, trying to destroy it before it was activated.

Ignoring the warning, the group continued to go deeper into the ruins.

There was a powerful force in the ruins, suppressing everyone's strength, and every step required a huge effort.

Ding Chen gritted his teeth and persisted, beads of sweat the size of beans sliding down his forehead. He knew he couldn't retreat at this moment, but the physical exhaustion made him feel extremely painful.

Xiaoxuan followed him closely, cheering him on.

Finally, they arrived at the center of the ruins, and a huge energy source appeared in front of everyone, emitting dazzling light.

This energy fluctuation is completely consistent with the strange scene in the sky. Obviously, this is the root cause of the strange phenomenon.

But at this moment, a tall figure appeared next to the energy source, blocking everyone's way.

The figure was shrouded in a black robe, and his face could not be seen clearly, but from the powerful aura emanating from him, it could be judged that he was a guardian with unfathomable strength.

"You can't get close to here!" The guardian said in a low voice, with unquestionable majesty in his tone, "This is to maintain the balance of the world!"

"We must stop this disaster!" Ding Chen confronted the Guardian without flinching, "even at the cost of his life!"

The guardian sneered: "You overestimate your own abilities!" He raised his hand and waved it, and a powerful force swept over, knocking everyone away.

Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan hugged each other tightly, resisting the impact of this force together, but they still felt a surge of blood.

Everyone stood up again with difficulty, their eyes filled with indomitable fighting spirit.

General Lin, Ah Hu, and Ying Feng also took out their weapons, ready to fight to the death with the guardian.

Just as the battle was about to break out, Xiaoxuan suddenly pointed at a rune on the wall of the ruins and said, "Wait, look..."

Xiaoxuan's slender fingers brushed across the cold stone wall, her eyes fixed on a string of obscure runes.

These runes flicker with a faint light, as if telling ancient secrets.

She closed her eyes, and the ancient knowledge that her master had taught her emerged in her mind. Runes were rearranged and combined in her mind, and finally, an astonishing secret was revealed.

"I know!" Xiaoxuan suddenly opened her eyes, her tone filled with excitement. "The Guardian's power comes from these runes. As long as we destroy these runes, we can weaken his power!"

Ding Chen and others were cheered up when they heard this. General Lin shouted, "Okay! Let's do as Miss Xiaoxuan said!" The long sword in his hand drew a sharp arc of light and slashed fiercely at the runes on the stone wall.

Ah Hu followed closely behind, and his huge axe smashed the runes into pieces with the force of splitting a mountain.

Yingfeng shuttled through the ruins like a ghost, stabbing every rune with the dagger in his hand accurately.

The Guardian sensed that the rune was broken and its power began to weaken. He roared in anger and his attacks became more violent.

But everyone had found his weakness, and with tacit cooperation, the attacks surged towards the guardian like a tide.

Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan fought side by side, their figures intertwined in the ruins like two lightning bolts, and each attack contained tremendous power.

After a fierce battle, the guardian finally couldn't hold on any longer. He let out an unwilling roar and his huge body collapsed.

Everyone looked at the fallen guardian, their hearts filled with joy and excitement. This victory brought them one step closer to the truth.

As they approached the energy source, they discovered that it was an ancient artifact eroded by evil forces, emitting a terrifying aura.

The white-haired wise man stepped forward, muttering something, and forming a complex seal with his hands.

A dazzling white light shot out from his hand and enveloped the artifact.

The artifact began to tremble violently, as if resisting the purification of the white light.

Suddenly, a powerful evil force burst out from the artifact, confronting the white light.

The surrounding space began to distort violently, making a teeth-grinding friction sound.

The ground began to crack, and debris flew everywhere.

"Not good!" The white-haired wise man's face changed drastically. "This power is even stronger than I imagined!"

At this moment, a huge crack appeared in the ground. Ding Chen was quick to grab Xiaoxuan's hand...

Ding Chen hugged Xiaoxuan tightly. At this critical moment, he used his body to build a safe barrier for Xiaoxuan.

Xiaoxuan felt Ding Chen's strong heartbeat, and her fear gradually dispelled, replaced by endless warmth and trust.

She hugged Ding Chen tightly back, as if this could protect her from all danger.

General Lin, Yingfeng and Ah Hu also joined the fight against the evil forces without fear.

General Lin swung his sword with great vigor, and each blow carried the force of thunder, as if he wanted to completely cut off this evil force.

Yingfeng's figure shuttled across the battlefield like a ghost, the dagger in his hand flashing with cold light, and every attack was extremely precise, hitting the weaknesses of the evil forces directly.

Ah Hu was like a mad beast, wielding a huge axe. Every blow made the earth tremble and forced the evil forces to retreat step by step.

They coordinated with the white-haired wise man's spells to form an indestructible line of defense.

The white light and the black gas collided violently, making a deafening roar. The entire ruins were shaking, as if they would collapse at any time.

Everyone gritted their teeth and tried their best to maximize their potential.

Finally, with the joint efforts of everyone, the white light gradually gained the upper hand, the evil forces began to dissipate, the strange scenes in the sky also disappeared, and the world returned to its former tranquility.

Everyone cheered and celebrated this hard-earned victory.

They hugged each other, encouraged each other, and their faces were filled with joy of surviving the disaster.

General Lin patted Ding Chen on the shoulder and praised loudly: "Good boy, you really didn't let me down!" Yingfeng also smiled rarely and gave Ding Chen a thumbs up.

Ah Hu roared even more excitedly, his voice shaking the valley.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, Xiaoxuan's eyes suddenly fell on the artifact.

She discovered that a new row of runes had appeared on the artifact at some point. These runes were flashing with strange light and emitting a disturbing aura.

Xiaoxuan's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

She pointed at the rune and said in a trembling voice, "Wait... look..."
