The light of the jade pendant suddenly converged, and the room fell into darkness again like the tide receding.

Xiaohong's heart was still pounding, as if an uneasy deer was raking in her chest.

She subconsciously stroked the smooth surface of the jade pendant, and a hint of warmth came from her fingertips, which was completely different from the coldness just now.

Confusion rippled in her clear eyes, like a clear spring thrown into a stone, rippling in layers.

"What's going on?" she murmured in a low voice, with a hint of undetectable tremor in her tone.

Everyone around was alarmed by this sudden change and gathered around.

Luo Xiaoyu rushed directly to Xiaohong and stared at the jade pendant with wide eyes. Grandma Lin held Xiaohong's hand worriedly, and her wrinkled face was full of concern.

Doctor Zhang frowned and stared at the jade pendant with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through the secrets.

Elder Chen and Master Lingyin clasped their hands together and recited the scriptures silently. A peaceful breath spread throughout the room.

The man in white held Xiaohong's hand tightly, and his broad and warm palms conveyed a trace of strength to her.

His deep eyes were staring at Xiaohong,

However, this sudden change did not end there.

The news of the change of the jade pendant spread quickly as if it had grown wings, attracting the attention of all forces.

Some greedy people were moved and rushed over. The light of greed flashed in their eyes, like a group of hungry wolves staring at their prey.

"Super the treasure!" A strong man with a fat face shouted loudly, his tone filled with unquestionable orders.

"Don't think about it!" Li Lieun waved his fists angrily, blocking Xiaohong, protecting her like a mountain.

The greedy people ignored Li Lieun's warning and took the lead in launching an attack.

Everyone rose up to resist, and a fierce battle began.

The swords and swords were shattered, and the room was suddenly in chaos.

Luo Xiaoyu couldn't dodge and was hit by the other party's palm, fell to the ground, with a trace of blood spilling out of the corner of her mouth.

"Xiaoyu!" Xiaohong exclaimed, his heart stolen.

The greedy people's offensives were like storms, wave after wave, without stopping.

The man in white has a strong body and sharp sword skills, like a dragon passing by among the enemy group.

However, outnumbered, a few scars gradually appeared on his body, and the red blood dripped down the blade, making it particularly dazzling in the dim room.

His movements began to slow down, his breathing became rapid, and his strength was gradually being exhausted.

Xiaohong watched the man in white get hurt, her heart was like a knife, and tears rolled in her eyes.

She clenched her fists tightly, her nails embedded in her flesh deeply, but she could not feel any pain.

She wanted to help but was powerless and could only watch him face danger alone.

A deep sense of powerlessness surrounded her tightly, making her almost suffocate.

Doctor Zhang was busy treating the wounded, and fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.

There were too many wounded people, and he was a little overwhelmed and could only do his best.

The room was filled with a strong smell of blood and mixed with the moans of the wounded, which made people feel depressed and desperate.

Everyone's morale was depressed, as if they were shrouded in dark clouds, and there was no glimmer of hope.

At this moment, Grandma Lin, who was usually gentle and kind, suddenly became a human being. Her eyes became sharp and her face was a little cruel.

She took out a small exquisite porcelain bottle from her arms and sprinkled the powder inside towards the enemy.

Everyone looked at her in surprise, not understanding what she was going to do.

The powder permeates the air, emitting a strange fragrance.

The enemy who inhaled the powder began to move slowly and his eyes became blurred.

They stood staggeringly, as if drunk.

"Is this... a sacred scatter?" Elder Chen said in surprise, "I didn't expect Grandma Lin to have such things!"

Grandma Lin snorted coldly, "When I was young, I also walked around the world. What is this thing!"

Seeing that the enemy was controlled by the ecstasy, everyone's morale was greatly boosted.

Grandma Lin’s voice echoed in the room, “Children, don’t be afraid! Let’s go together!”

Everyone worked together to subdue the enemies one by one...

Grandma Lin walked to the man in white and whispered: "Child, this thing can only control them for a moment. The real battle has only begun now..."

The man in white had a sword light like snow, and the cold light flashed, and each move hit the enemy's vital points.

Li Liehuo was like a tiger descending from the mountain, with his fists and feet emitting wind, and his moves were fatal.

Blacksmith Zhao waved a heavy hammer, and every time he fell, he was like breaking mountains and cracking stones, and the enemies avoided it.

Elder Chen and Master Lingyin cleverly cracked the enemy's attacks with their rich experience and wisdom and guided everyone to carry out effective counterattacks.

The pace of the battle was getting faster and faster, and the cooperation between the people became more and more tacit, and an excitement spread between them.

The enemy was caught off guard and his team was in chaos.

The strong man in the head had a trembling face, and his originally arrogant arrogance had long disappeared, replaced by fear and despair.

He knelt down on the ground with a "thump" and begged: "Give me your life! Free me your life! We will never dare again!" A cheer of victory sounded around him, and everyone was very excited, as if the long-suppressed anger in his heart had finally been released.

The enemy fled in a panic, threw away his armor, and only regretted that his parents had fewer legs.

Everyone looked at their backs away, and their hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment, as if they were revenge and their hearts were extremely happy.

Xiaohong could no longer suppress her inner excitement and threw herself into the arms of the man in white, tears bursting out from her eyes.

"I was scared to death, I thought..." She choked and couldn't speak.

The man in white gently stroked her hair and comforted her softly: "It's okay, everything is over."

Luo Xiaoyu and everyone hugged each other happily, their faces filled with joy of surviving the disaster.

This battle not only allowed them to defeat the enemy, but also made their relationship deeper and more intimate.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, but did not notice that Grandma Lin, who silently put away the small porcelain bottle, turned around and walked towards the dim oil lamp in the corner, the light shone on her wrinkled face, which looked particularly mysterious...

"This is the real beginning..." she murmured in a low voice.

The smoke of the battle dissipated and the room returned to peace, but everyone's hearts could not calm down.

The changes in the jade pendant were like a stone thrown into the calm lake, causing layers of ripples.

This ripples are filled with unknowns and anxiety, as well as hope and curiosity.

"What's going on with this jade pendant?" Luo Xiaoyu stroked the scratch on her arm. The battle just now made her feel scared, but the change in the jade pendant made her curious.

Elder Chen took out an ancient book from his arms, and the pages turned yellow and exuded an ancient atmosphere.

He turned it gently, and the dim light shone on the pages, reflecting strange symbols.

Everyone's eyes were focused on his hands, hoping that he could find the answer from it.

"This ancient book records all kinds of rare treasures, and you may find clues about this jade pendant." Elder Chen's voice was low and magnetic, with a reassuring power.

His fingers gently stroked the pages, as if he was stroking the traces of history.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the room was so quiet that only Elder Chen could hear the sound of flipping books.

Everyone's breathing became lighter, afraid of disturbing him.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, like a tight string that could break at any time.

Suddenly, the jade pendant shone again, more dazzling than before, like a small sun.

The light shone out into the window, cutting through the night sky and pointing straight to the distance.

Everyone looked in the direction of the light and saw a towering castle in the distance looming, which seemed particularly mysterious in the night.

The outline of the castle is as illusory as a mirage under the reflection of light, but it is real.

"Where is that?" Xiaohong exclaimed, her tone full of curiosity and anxiety.

The air around seemed to solidify, and a mysterious atmosphere enveloped everyone.

The unknown castle, the unknown secret, is like a huge vortex, attracting them into it.

"Go and have a look." The man in white held Xiaohong's hand tightly, his eyes firmly.

Everyone did not speak, but their actions had shown their determination.

They packed their bags and prepared to embark on a new journey.

Grandma Lin looked at their departure backs and showed a meaningful smile on her lips.

"Go, children, your destiny is there..." she whispered, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in her tone.

The morning light was not revealed, and the mist was lightly cage. Everyone headed towards the castle looming in the night sky.

Curiosity and vigilance intertwined in everyone's eyes, like this fog, hazy and deep.
