The huge stone gate stands tall, with dense runes twisting like tadpoles, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura, as if silently telling a dusty history.

Everyone surrounded the stone gate, with a solemn expression, staring at the runes tightly, trying to interpret the mystery.

The air was filled with an atmosphere of tension and curiosity, like a tight string that could break at any time.

The air around the stone gate seemed to solidify, with a hint of undetectable chill, making people feel a little difficult to breathe.

An invisible pressure enveloped everyone, as if an invisible pair of eyes were peeking at their every move in the dark.

"What do these runes... mean?" Zhao Blacksmith couldn't help but break the silence. His rough fingers gently stroked the cold stone door, and a chill instantly spread throughout his body.

"It looks like some kind of ancient text." Elder Chen stroked his beard, frowned, and his eyes were filled with thoughtful light, "But I have never seen such text."

Everyone began to try various methods to interpret runes.

Based on the shape of the rune, Zhang Langzhong tried to compare it with known words; Master Lingyin silently recited the Buddhist scriptures, hoping to get enlightenment from it; even Luo Xiaoyu, who was usually careless, became careful and carefully observed the details of each rune.

However, runes seem to have a magic power, and whenever everyone interprets a mistake, they release a burst of energy to attack everyone.

At first it was just a slight vibration, but as the number of errors increased, the intensity of the energy became greater and greater.

Everyone was constantly attacked, in a mess and in ragged clothes.

"It won't work if this continues!" Luo Xiaoyu covered her shocked arm and said anxiously, "We have to think of a solution!"

"Yu'er is right," said Grandma Lin worriedly, "We can't try blindly like this anymore."

"I think we should try boldly," Luo Xiaoyu insisted on her point of view. "Only by constantly trying can we find the correct interpretation method."

"No!" Elder Chen opposed sternly, "We must be cautious, otherwise we will only waste time and energy."

The two of them had an argument and the atmosphere became tense.

The man in white tried to calm the argument, but the results were not good.

"Enough!" Xiaohong suddenly shouted, stopping everyone's quarrel. "Now is not the time for quarrel. We must unite to solve this puzzle!"

Xiaohong's words calmed down everyone, and they realized that only unity and cooperation could overcome the difficulties in front of them.

However, at this moment, a powerful energy suddenly burst out from the stone gate...

"Ah!" A scream cut through the silence, and blood dyed the ground red...

The energy burst out, Luo Xiaoyu groaned, staggered back, covering her chest, and the red blood oozed out from her fingers, dyeing her coarse cloth clothes red.

The severe pain made her eyes turn black and she almost fainted.

"Yu'er!" Grandma Lin exclaimed and hurriedly helped her.

Luo Xiaoyu's face was pale and her breathing was rapid. She endured the pain and said, "I...I'm fine..."

Luo Xiaoyu's injury cast a shadow on everyone's heart.

Interpreting runes requires a high degree of concentration, and a slight mistake will lead to backlash.

Now that Luo Xiaoyu is injured, the progress of interpretation has been severely delayed.

Doctor Zhang simply treated Luo Xiaoyu's wound, but the blood loss and pain made Luo Xiaoyu unable to concentrate anymore.

She sat dejectedly on the ground, her eyes dissipated, and she looked at the still mysterious stone door, and felt powerless.

Xiaohong looked at the injured Luo Xiaoyu, then looked at the still obscure runes on the stone gate, and a sense of despair surged in her heart.

Hope seems to be getting less and less.

The cold stone gate stood quietly like a giant beast, mocking their powerlessness.

The air around him became heavier and heavier, making people breathless.

Luo Xiaoyu, who has always been careless and regarded as reckless by everyone, is surprisingly quiet at this moment.

She endured the pain, but her eyes never left the runes on the stone gate.

Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something and raised her head suddenly.

"Wait!" Luo Xiaoyu's weak voice was particularly clear in the silence, "I...I seem to have discovered something..."

Everyone looked at her in surprise, and saw her pointing at the runes on the stone gate, and said firmly: "These runes...they...they seem to have...they...they...have a certain pattern..."

Luo Xiaoyu struggled to stand up, pointed to a rune on the stone gate, and said, "Look at this, although these runes are different in shape, they are arranged in a way that looks very similar... very similar..."

Luo Xiaoyu's voice became weaker and weaker, but the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter.

She began to interpret runes according to the rules she discovered, but she actually...

Some progress has been made!

Seeing this, everyone was excited and their originally depressed mood rekindled a glimmer of hope.

They surrounded Luo Xiaoyu, held their breath and watched her interpret the runes step by step.

"No...here...here should..." Luo Xiaoyu suddenly stopped, frowned, as if she had encountered some problem.

"What's wrong?" Xiaohong asked anxiously.

Luo Xiaoyu did not answer, but just stared at the runes on the stone gate, her fingers trembled slightly...

“I…I need…”

Luo Xiaoyu's weak words were like a faint fire, igniting the hope in everyone's hearts.

Her trembling fingers slowly moved on the stone door, muttering to herself: "Yes... are regular... these runes are not messy, but... but are arranged in some special order!"

Everyone held their breath and their eyes followed Luo Xiaoyu's fingers.

She shared her discoveries with everyone with difficulty, and everyone brainstormed and gradually figured out the rules of runes.

Those symbols that twist like tadpoles are no longer meaningless patterns, but become interpretable words.

As the interpretation deepened, the runes on the stone gate began to emit a faint light, like a sleeping giant beast gradually awakening.

The light became stronger and stronger, and eventually gathered into a dazzling beam of light that soared into the sky.

Everyone cheered and looked at the scene in front of them excitedly. They knew that the stone gate was about to open!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the stone door slowly moved to both sides, and the heavy stones rubbed and made a harsh sound, as if telling an ancient history.

A dazzling light gushed out from the door, and the strong airflow even made everyone feel a little unsteady in standing.

A powerful force instantly poured into everyone's bodies, greatly improving their power.

Everyone clenched their fists excitedly, feeling the surging power in their bodies, and their hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment.

They looked at each other, their faces filled with joy and excitement.

Xiaohong excitedly hugged the man in white beside her, her eyes wet.

The man in white picked her up excitedly and whispered something in her ear, and the light of happiness was overflowing on their faces.

Luo Xiaoyu also showed a long-lost smile. She struggled to stand up and hugged Grandma Lin tightly.

Everyone hugged each other and was proud of each other's efforts and dedication.

"Thank you, Xiaoyu!" Grandma Lin said softly,

"Without you, we would not have solved this puzzle!" Zhang Langzhong also sighed.

Everyone thanked each other, and they knew that at this moment, they were not just a team, but more like a big family, with each other full of trust and care.

Everyone couldn't wait to enter the space behind the stone gate.

What caught my eye was a huge stone chamber filled with all kinds of rare treasures, shining with dazzling light, and many secrets of martial arts that exuded ancient aura.

Everyone's breathing became rapid, and they knew that they had reached a new peak and were about to usher in a new chapter.

Excitement and excitement spread across everyone's face, and they began to assign treasures and learn secrets.

The power surged in their bodies, and their strength had a qualitative leap.

Everyone's eyes are full of longing and desire. They know that their destiny is about to usher in earth-shaking changes.

"This secret book... seems not that simple..." Liehuo opened an ancient book and frowned.

The golden light shines, and the rare treasures are piled up like mountains, emitting an attractive light.

Ancient secrets are scattered all over the stone chamber, as if whispering ancient secrets.

Everyone was breathing rapidly, and their eyes were filled with a greedy light.

The team that was originally united and supported each other was now torn to pieces by an inexplicable force.

The air was filled with tension, and everyone's face was filled with desire and anxiety.

Doctor Zhang held up a yellowed medical book with trembling hands, his eyes full of fanaticism: "With it, my medical skills can be improved to the next level, and even bring back to life!" Zhao Blacksmith grabbed the medical book and said in a rough voice: "This secret book can be combined with my strong physique to exert its maximum power!" The two of them refused to give in to each other and glared at each other.

"Dr. Zhang should have this medical book when he saves his life and helps the wounded!" Grandma Lin was the first to stand up to support Dr. Zhang.

"Zhao's blacksmith is extremely powerful, so he can protect everyone. This secret book should belong to him!" Wang Liehuo also expressed his position.

Everyone stood in line, and the atmosphere in the stone room was tense, as if a little spark could trigger an explosion.

Master Lingyin clasped his hands together and whispered loudly: "Amitabha, donors, don't be blinded by greed..." However, his voice was drowned in the quarrels of everyone and ignored them.
