After resting for a while, the three of them got up again.

They knew this was just the beginning, and there were many more dangers and secrets ahead that awaited their exploration and resolution.

They continued along the passageway of the ruins, the atmosphere still mysterious and oppressive.

The ancient walls shimmered with a faint light, as if telling stories of the past. The patterns on the walls were like wrinkles left by time, recording past glories and declines.

As they walked, they came to a huge square.

The square was paved with huge stone slabs, each engraved with mysterious patterns. These patterns resembled ancient script or a mysterious array, exuding an air of mystery.

In the center of the square stands a huge statue.

The statue's face is blurred, but it exudes a powerful aura, like a sleeping giant that may awaken at any moment.

“This statue…” Su Ming looked at the statue and felt a strange sense of familiarity.

His eyes revealed doubt and curiosity, and he walked towards the statue without thinking.

His steps were slow and cautious, as if he were approaching a mysterious treasure.

Just as he approached the statue, it suddenly emitted a bright light.

The light enveloped Su Ming, instantly immobilizing his body.

"Su Ming!" Upon seeing this, Baili Pangpang and Lin Qiye rushed forward immediately.

Their faces were full of anxiety, their steps were hurried, and they kicked up a cloud of dust.

However, before they could get close to Su Ming, a group of dark figures suddenly emerged from around the statue.

These shadowy figures moved swiftly, like ghosts, and quickly surrounded the three of them.

The shadowy figures let out eerie laughter that echoed through the square, sending chills down everyone's spines.

The laughter seemed to come from the depths of hell, filled with evil and eeriness.

"It seems we're in new trouble again," Lin Qiye said coldly, looking at the surrounding shadows.

A hint of excitement shone in his eyes; he was always filled with a desire to challenge powerful opponents.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.

Baili Pangpang clenched his fists, and the earth element energy around him began to surge, with yellow light flashing on his body.

"Hmph, no matter what you are, don't think you can defeat us so easily!" His voice was full of fighting spirit, showing no fear at all because of the appearance of the enemy.

His gaze was firm as he looked at the surrounding shadows without fear.

Su Ming struggled in the light, trying to break free of his restraints.

He focused his mind and mobilized the power within his body.

Suddenly, he felt a familiar power emanating from the statue, resonating with the power within his body.

A thought struck him, and he seemed to understand something.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he focused even more intently on channeling the power within his body.

"Everyone be careful, these shadowy figures are not simple!" Su Ming shouted.

His voice rang out from the light, serving as a warning to Baili Pangpang and Lin Qiye.

His voice was firm and powerful, as if illuminating the path for his companions in the darkness.

Ignoring Su Ming's warning, the shadowy figures pounced on the three of them.

These shadowy figures were extremely fast and their movements were unpredictable, making them difficult to grasp.

Their attack methods are also very strange. Some of the shadowy creatures extend sharp claws that gleam with a cold light, as if they could easily cut through the skin; others exhale black mist that spreads out and emits a pungent odor. Each attack carries a deadly threat.

Lin Qiye launched the first attack, rapidly forming hand seals while chanting incantations.

"Wind Blade Technique!" With his shout, sharp wind blades shot out from his hands, flying towards the shadows like daggers.

The wind blades sliced ​​through the air with a whooshing sound, and wherever they went, the dark shadows vanished, turning into wisps of black smoke.

However, these shadowy figures seemed endless, surging in wave after wave.

Not to be outdone, Baili Pangpang used earth magic to build an earthen wall around himself and Lin Qiye.

The surface of the earthen wall is covered with runes, which can resist the attacks of the shadows.

At the same time, he also shot out sharp stone spikes from the earthen wall, like arrows, towards the shadowy figures.

The stone spikes, carrying immense force, pierced the shadowy figure, causing it to scream in agony.

With the combined efforts of the three, the attacks of the shadowy figures were temporarily repelled.

But they also knew that this couldn't go on forever.

There were too many of these shadowy figures, and their attacks were becoming increasingly fierce.

The shadowy figures seemed to sense the trio's exhaustion and intensified their attacks, attempting to break through their defenses in one fell swoop.

"Su Ming, how are you?" Lin Qiye called out to Su Ming while fending off the attacks from the shadowy figure.

His voice carried a hint of anxiety, and his eyes kept glancing toward the light where Su Ming was.

Su Ming diligently mobilized the power within his body amidst the light, and the resonance with the power within the statue grew stronger and stronger.

Finally, he felt the forces binding him gradually weaken.

“I’m almost free!” he shouted back.

His voice was filled with joy and determination, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Just then, a huge black shadow rushed out of the darkness.

This shadowy figure was several times larger than the others, and it exuded a powerful aura of darkness, as if it were the embodiment of darkness itself.

It opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Lin Qiye and Baili Pangpang, letting out a low roar as if it wanted to devour them.

"Not good!" Lin Qiye and Baili Pangpang's expressions changed drastically. They quickly concentrated their strength to prepare to meet the attack of the huge black shadow.

However, the shadowy figure was too powerful, and their attacks seemed to have little effect on it.

Lin Qiye's wind blade technique struck the shadowy figure, only stirring up a puff of black smoke; Baili Pangpang's stone spikes pierced the shadowy figure, leaving only some shallow marks.

Just as the giant black shadow was about to pounce on them, Su Ming finally broke free from the statue's restraints.

He flashed and instantly appeared in front of Lin Qiye and Baili Pangpang.

The sword in his hand gleamed, gathering all the power in his body.

"Demon-Slaying Sword Technique - Ultimate Slash!" he shouted, unleashing a powerful sword aura that slashed towards the enormous black shadow.

The sword energy carried an aura of destruction, cascading down like a massive waterfall.

The sword energy, carrying an aura of destruction, instantly enveloped the enormous black shadow.

The enormous black shadow let out a scream that echoed throughout the square, and its body began to rapidly dissipate.

As the giant shadow dissipated, the other shadows also vanished.

Chapter 204 Clues to the Hidden Door

The mysterious square in the ruins was deathly silent, as if time itself had frozen.

Only the slightly heavy breathing of Su Ming, Lin Qiye, Baili Pangpang, and Hong Ying, along with the occasional muffled thuds of falling pebbles hitting the ground, echoed in this empty space, further highlighting the eeriness and tranquility of the place.
