Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

Zhu Xiaoxiao led Dongfang Yu toward the Moonlight Treasure Vault. The Moonlight Treasure Vault is said to contain countless treasures, the most mysterious of which is the "Moon Shadow Stone".

"Xiao Bai, I've heard that this Moonlight Treasure Vault is heavily guarded and riddled with traps. We need to be careful," Zhu Xiaoxiao muttered to herself as she looked around.

"You idiot, stop talking nonsense! Get moving! This is a mission that concerns the future of the entire Daughter Kingdom!" The voice of the Ringwraith Little White came from the Moonlight Ring, tinged with anxiety.

The entrance to the Moonlight Treasury was a tall stone gate, covered with intricate runes and emitting a faint moonlight. A chilling aura emanated from the stone gate, as if to freeze one into an ice sculpture.

"Wow, this place is so eerie!" Dongfang Yu couldn't help but shudder.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaobai just checked it out. These traps and mechanisms are child's play!" Zhu Xiaoxiao patted his chest and said confidently. He wasn't really confident, but rather trying to boost morale.

"But... what if those guards from the Illusion Moon Sect suddenly appear? Wouldn't we be in great danger?" Dongfang Yu was still somewhat worried.

"Don't worry! I'm an expert in 'sensing emotions,' I can see right through these guys' thoughts!" Zhu Xiaoxiao said, conjuring a gleaming nine-toothed rake from her nine-bead bracelet. "Come on, let's begin our 'treasure hunting' journey!"

They walked through a corridor carved with strange patterns. The air around them grew colder and colder, filled with a strange aroma of spices mixed with the icy scent of metal. Underfoot lay countless traps and mechanisms, all kinds of traps, gleaming with an eerie light and exuding an ancient aura.

Suddenly, a huge stone gate appeared in front of them, with a giant dragon carved on it, spewing out blinding beams of light from its mouth.

"What an amazing mechanism!" Dongfang Yu exclaimed.

"Don't panic, these mechanisms are just child's play." Zhu Xiaoxiao confidently walked to the dragon statue and began using the information database in her Moonlight Ring to analyze the defensive mechanisms of the stone gate. "Little White, this dragon mouth mechanism... I think I've seen it in some ancient book..."

He recalled an ancient text, and a brilliant plan to solve the mechanism flashed through his mind. "Xiao Bai, help me calculate when this mechanism will be triggered!"

"According to the database, this mechanism will only activate at midnight." The voice of the Ringwraith White echoed in Zhu Xiaoxiao's mind.

"That makes things easy!" Zhu Xiaoxiao revealed a cunning smile. "Let's get the Moon Shadow Stone a step ahead of time, before midnight!"

Just as Zhu Xiaoxiao was about to implement her plan, a series of heavy footsteps approached. A group of guards from the Illusion Moon Sect, dressed in black, appeared silently around them like ghosts.

"Not good! The enemy is here!" Dongfang Yu exclaimed, a snow-white dagger appearing in her hand, ready to fight at any moment.

Zhu Xiaoxiao remained calm. He used his "emotional perception" ability to observe the emotional fluctuations of the Illusion Moon Sect guards. He discovered that there seemed to be some conflict among the guards, and they lacked coordination.

"Hehe, this is my chance!" Zhu Xiaoxiao thought to himself. He deliberately let out a few strange cries, pretending to be scared, to attract the guards' attention. At the same time, he quickly set up several small traps to divert most of the guards' attention.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhu Xiaoxiao and Dongfang Yu rushed towards the dragon statue. The dragon statue was lifelike, its scales shimmering with an eerie luster under the moonlight, as if it were about to open its bloodthirsty maw at any moment. A strange energy fluctuation permeated the surrounding air, making it seem as if the air itself had solidified, making it difficult to breathe.

Zhu Xiaoxiao moved with ghostly speed, keenly sensing the faint sounds of traps activating. With a sidestep and a dodge, he easily avoided them. Dongfang Yu followed closely behind, her dagger flashing through the air as she precisely destroyed the mechanisms, clearing a path for Zhu Xiaoxiao.

"Quick! There must be a passage behind this dragon statue!" Dongfang Yu said urgently, his eyes fixed on the front.

“Mm!” Zhu Xiaoxiao agreed, his steps never faltering. He moved swiftly, his body pressed against the wall, like a fish darting through water, searching for the hidden entrance to the passage in the darkness.

Before them lay a secret passage hidden behind the dragon statue. The passage was narrow and deep, like a dark tunnel, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. The walls on either side were covered with unknown patterns, seemingly whispering the ancient secrets of this treasure trove.

"Phew!" Zhu Xiaoxiao breathed a long sigh of relief as they successfully entered the Moonlight Treasure Vault. The air immediately became much fresher, and the previous icy chill disappeared.

The Moonlight Treasury was resplendent with gold and jade, displaying countless treasures and rare gems that shone brightly. Dongfang Yu's eyes widened in amazement, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! What beautiful treasures!"

"Shut up! Be careful!" Zhu Xiaoxiao whispered, cautiously observing her surroundings.

They carefully navigated among the dazzling array of treasures, various strangely shaped artifacts scattered throughout the exhibition hall, each radiating powerful energy. The air was filled with the aromas of rare spices and exotic minerals. The rich fragrances and bizarre scenes made Zhu Xiaoxiao almost unable to distinguish between reality and a dream.

Deep within the Moonlight Treasury, a massive crystal box stands silently, radiating a soft glow. Intricate patterns are carved into the box, creating a vast protective barrier that safeguards everything within.

“That’s the Moonstone!” Dongfang Yu said, pointing to the crystal box, his eyes sparkling.

"Be careful, what if the mechanism is activated?" Zhu Xiaoxiao warned, while taking out her Moonlight Ring and activating the "scan" function to quickly scan the mechanisms around the crystal box.

"Don't worry, I'm a member of the Illusion Moon Sect, I'm very familiar with these mechanisms!" Dongfang Yu said confidently. "As long as you control your emotions and don't transform again, we can successfully take the Moonshadow Stone!"

Zhu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. "Yes, I believe you!"

They cautiously approached the crystal box. Zhu Xiaoxiao pressed a button on the box, producing a crisp sound. The crystal box slowly opened, revealing a strange stone inside that emitted a soft glow—the Moonshadow Stone. It emitted a cool light, illuminating the entire secret chamber.

The two quickly put the "Moon Shadow Stone" into Zhu Xiaoxiao's Qiankun bag, carefully avoiding the traps and hidden guards, and quickly left the Moonlight Treasure Vault.

"Phew!" Zhu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief; they had successfully returned to the Kingdom of Women.
