Xiaohong held the hand of the man in white tightly, her fingertips were cold, and she could feel her heartbeat hitting her chest one by one like a drum.

Suddenly, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

It was a woman with a slender figure and a soft light radiant all over her body, like an elf under the moonlight.

But she looked at everyone with sharp eyes and was alert.

"Who are you? Why did you break into my territory?" Her voice was crisp and pleasant, but with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

"We..." Grandma Lin was about to explain, but Luo Xiaoyu took the lead.

"We are here to hunt for treasure! What treasures are there? Hand them over quickly!" Luo Xiaoyu's tone was a little impatient. She had long wanted to leave this ghost place.

The elf's "Treasure Hunt? There is no treasure you want here, leave quickly!"

"We have already walked here, how can we return empty-handed!" Luo Xiaoyu pulled out his sword and pointed at the elf, "If you know the appearance, please hand over the treasure!"

The elf snorted coldly, waved his slender fingers lightly, and a transparent barrier appeared out of thin air, trapping everyone in it.

Everyone tried to break through the barrier, but found that the barrier was indestructible and could not be shaken no matter how hard they tried.

A tense atmosphere permeated the air, and the light of the torch shone on the barrier, reflecting an unsettling halo.

The elf looked at the trapped people and showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Overbial power." She slowly raised her hands, the light around her began to twist, and a powerful force surged in the air...

"This is not a place where you can go wild."

Within the barrier, the air seemed to be squeezed by an invisible big hand, becoming thinner and thinner.

Everyone's breathing became difficult, and their chests were like a huge rock pressing on them, and every breathing was as laborious as a bellows.

Sweat oozed out of the forehead and slid down the cheeks, flashing with a disturbing sheen under the flames.

Doctor Zhang's face was pale and his lips were trembling slightly.

He looked around worriedly, feeling the less and less oxygen in the air, and was extremely anxious.

He knew that if this continued, everyone would suffocate to death.

He tried to use the herbs in the medicine box to relieve everyone's discomfort, but in this strange barrier, the herbs seemed to have lost their effectiveness, his expression became more and more anxious, and the feeling of powerlessness drowned him like a tide.

The morale of everyone also declined, and fear spread in everyone's eyes.

Even the man in white who had always been calm seemed helpless at this moment.

He tried to mobilize the true energy in his body and tried to break through the barrier, but found that his power was like a mud bull entering the sea in the face of this mysterious magic, and had no effect.

He frowned, and his eyes revealed a deep helplessness, an experience he had never had before, a sense of powerlessness that was deprived of power.

At this moment, Liehuo, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke. His voice was low and hoarse, "I...I heard my grandfather tell a legend..." He paused and swallowed, as if he had to muster up a lot of courage, "The legend about this passage..."

Everyone looked at Liehuo in surprise, and even the mysterious elf who had been arrogant looked slightly sideways.

"Legendary, this passage protects an ancient secret, and the one who guards this secret is an elf with powerful power..." Li Liehun's voice trembled, but his eyes were extremely firm. "The elf has the power to control nature. She protects this land and protects the balance here..."

The mysterious elves heard this legend,

"We...we have no malice," Grandma Lin seized the opportunity and quickly explained, "We just want to..."

"We just want to find the legendary holy objects and save our village!" Luo Xiaoyu took over the conversation and said firmly, "We believe that only holy objects can help us overcome difficulties!"

"Save the village?" The elf repeated these words, with a hint of confusion in his tone.

Everyone explained their mission to the elves, hoping that she could trust them.

The elf was silent for a moment, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally fell on Xiaohong.

"Your eyes are clear..." The elf spoke slowly, "It doesn't seem like he's lying..."

Xiaohong's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she felt as if she had grabbed the last life-saving straw.

"us……"

The elf suddenly raised his hand and interrupted Xiaohong's words.

"I……"

The elf sighed lightly, waved his slender hand, and the indestructible barrier rippled like water waves, and eventually disappeared without a trace.

The depressed air became circulating instantly, and everyone greedily breathed the fresh air, and the joy of surviving the disaster spread on everyone's face.

"Thank you for your help, the elves." The man in white bowed and bowed his hands, with a sincere tone.

He was dressed in white, and he looked even more elegant and out of the dust under the swaying fire, like a banished immortal.

The elf's eyes stayed on him for a moment, and a hint of imperceptible flush appeared on his cheeks.

"It's just a little effort." Her voice was soft, as pleasant as a clear spring in the mountains.

A relaxed atmosphere filled the air around, and the tense nerves of everyone gradually relaxed.

Xiaohong watched the interaction between the man in white and the elves,

"Haha, we are finally saved!" Luo Xiaoyu smiled carelessly, slapped Liehuo on the shoulder, "Thanks to your grandfather's story!"

Liehuo scratched his head honestly and smiled embarrassedly.

Doctor Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with gratitude: "It's so shocking!"

Everyone joked with each other, and the joy of surviving the disaster diluted the previous fear, and the relationship between them became more complicated but also closer after this experience.

The elf looked at everyone, a trace of complex emotions flashed in her eyes. Finally, she slowly spoke: "There are more important secrets in the depths of the passage..."

The mysterious elf turned around and stepped lightly into the deeper part of the passage, emitting a soft light all over his body, like a beacon guiding the direction.

"Come with me." Her voice was ethereal and distant, with a hint of mysterious temptation.

Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and they all saw excitement and expectation in each other's eyes.

They followed the elves and stepped into unknown territory.

The passage winds and turns, and the air is filled with an ancient and mysterious aura, as if time is stagnant here.

The stone walls are carved with strange patterns, looming under the swaying firelight, as if telling an unknown history.

Everyone could feel that there was a huge secret hidden deep in the passage, waiting for them to uncover it.

As they penetrated deeper, the passage gradually became wider and the air became fresher, as if a mysterious force was guiding them.

I don’t know how long I walked, but suddenly it became clear in front of me, and a huge hall appeared in front of everyone.

The dome of the hall is towering into the clouds, and the walls are covered with runes shining with light, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

The ground is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the dazzling starlight on the dome, as if it is in the vast universe.

The air is filled with a faint fragrance, refreshing and makes people feel extremely comfortable and tranquil.

Everyone stopped and looked up at the flickering runes in the hall. What exactly do these runes represent?

What kind of secrets do they hide?

"What is this?" Luo Xiaoyu broke the silence, with a hint of awe in her tone.

No one could answer her question, and even the knowledgeable Elder Chen frowned and fell into deep thought.

The atmosphere around became mysterious, and an unknown force seemed to flow in the air, making people feel inexplicably excited and nervous.

The mysterious elf stood in the center of the hall, slowly closed his eyes, folded his hands together, and muttered something in his mouth.

As she chanted, the runes in the hall began to flicker even more violently, and the light became more and more dazzling, and the whole hall seemed to be coming alive.

"Shh..." The elf suddenly opened his eyes and made a gesture of silence, "The secret of the passage will be revealed soon..."

As soon as the elf finished speaking, a platform slowly rose on the ground in the center of the hall, and the platform was engraved with more complex runes, flashing with dazzling light.

Everyone held their breath, staring at the runes and lights around them, and their eyes were filled with excitement and tension of exploring the unknown.

They knew that the key to unlocking the secrets of runes was here.

In the hall, the light flashed, light and dark, as if breathing, creating a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.

Runes on the wall sometimes flow like flowing water, sometimes flickering like stars, unpredictable, and dazzling.

An ancient aura filled the air with a hint of chill, which made people shudder.

Xiaohong's heart was beating "bang", she carefully approached a rune on the edge of the platform, and reached out to touch it gently.

The surface of the rune is smooth and cold, and a slight vibration comes from the entrance.

Suddenly, the rune shone brightly, and a powerful energy fluctuation spread around. Everyone was caught off guard and was shocked to the point of being staggered.

"Ah!" Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed and fell to the ground.

After the energy fluctuation, a group of strange creatures appeared in the hall.

They are composed of runes, with different shapes, and they are rushing towards everyone with their teeth and claws.

These rune monsters exuded a heart-wrenching aura, as if they were evil spirits crawling out of hell.

The battle is about to break out.

The air was filled with a tense fighting atmosphere, everyone's heartbeats accelerated, and adrenaline surged.
