Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Hearing these discussions, Lin Feng smiled slightly, turned to Xiao Hui and said, "We can't stay here for too long, there are more important tasks waiting for us."

Xiaohui nodded, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone pack up and get ready to go!"

Everyone acted quickly, and although some people were still weak, no one was willing to fall behind. Everyone understood that only by working together could they overcome the difficulties.

At this moment, a clear voice came from not far away: "Everyone, please wait a moment." A young Taoist priest came forward. He was wearing a green robe and holding a whisk, looking elegant and calm.

"I am the inspector of this mountain area, my name is Li Yi. I have seen your performance and I admire you very much." The Taoist smiled slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "But I must remind you that the road ahead is even more dangerous, especially in the ancient ruins, which hide many secrets and dangers."

Zhang Zhen frowned when he heard this: "What ancient ruins do you mean?"

Li Yi nodded and explained, "That is the legendary immortal ruins. There are many precious treasures inside, but there are also countless traps. It is said that many powerful people have poured in recently to fight for the secret treasures inside."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and looked at his teammates: "No matter what, we must go in and take a look. Maybe there is a way to heal more wounded there."

Liu Gang, a veteran soldier in the team, stood up and said firmly: "The captain is right. Now that we are here, we can't give up easily. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will accompany you to face them together."

Lin Feng felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that the team had become a force that could not be underestimated. "Thank you, everyone. We are leaving now and we must be very careful."

The group set out on the journey to the ruins. Along the way, the birdsong and the roar of animals in the mountains and forests seemed to be telling of the danger ahead, but they did not retreat at all, and everyone held a firm belief.

At this moment, a young villager suddenly ran up to them, gasping for breath and saying, "Where are you going? The road ahead is very dangerous. Many people didn't make it back alive."

Lin Feng stopped and asked gently: "What's your name? Why do you know these things?"

The villager wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "My name is Amin, and I live in a small village nearby. A few days ago, someone passed by here and told the villagers about the ruins. Several brave people in the village have gone to explore, but there has been no news since then..."

Lin Feng patted Ah Ming on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we will be careful. If there is a chance, we will come back to find you."

Amin nodded, watched them leave, and silently prayed for them in his heart: "I hope they can return safely, and I really hope they can succeed."

The team continued to move forward, passing through a dense forest, and finally arrived in front of the ancient ruins. The huge stone door was engraved with mysterious runes, as if telling the vicissitudes of thousands of years.

Zhang Zhen looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "This is really spectacular. I hope our journey can also leave a glorious story like this relic."

Lin Feng took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said firmly: "No matter what, we will persevere to the end. Let's go in and see what secrets are hidden inside."

Everyone nodded, pushed open the stone door, and stepped into the ruins. In the darkness, deep passages stretched into the distance, as if foreshadowing that unknown adventures and challenges were waiting for them.

Behind them, the villager Amin was still watching silently, his heart full of expectation and worry. This small village might be changed by their return...

Soon after the team entered the ruins, a strange smell came towards them. The air was filled with an ancient and mysterious smell, which made people feel nervous involuntarily.

"This place is really not simple," Xiaohui whispered, "We have to be careful."

Zhang Zhen nodded, looked around cautiously, and suddenly found some strange symbols engraved on a wall. "Look, these words seem to be telling us something."

Lin Feng walked forward, observed carefully for a while, and said: "These are ancient characters, and they look like some kind of hints or warnings. We have to be careful about what is behind these symbols."

Just as they were studying the symbols, suddenly, there was a slight vibration under their feet, followed by a rumbling sound. Everyone immediately became alert and looked around.

Then, a thick stone wall slowly rose up, isolating them in a closed space. The space behind the stone wall was extremely small, with only a narrow passage extending forward.

"It seems that there are many traps in this place," Liu Gang said, "We have to be extra careful."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said resolutely: "Everyone follow me closely, we will get through together. Remember, don't act rashly, any slight noise may trigger a new mechanism."

Everyone walked carefully along the passage, taking every step with extreme caution. Suddenly, Lin Feng, who was walking in the front, stopped, and he noticed that something was wrong with the ground in front of him.

"There is a trap here," Lin Feng whispered, "Pay attention, follow my steps."

Before he finished speaking, a section of the floor suddenly collapsed and several huge rocks fell from the sky. Everyone dodged quickly, but a few people were still hit and fell to the ground groaning in pain.

"Hurry up and save them!" Lin Feng shouted anxiously, swinging his sword at another huge rock and breaking it into pieces.

Everyone worked together and finally rescued the injured. Lin Feng took a deep breath and said again: "We have to speed up and find the exit."

As they continued to move forward, one of the team members suddenly exclaimed: "Captain, look over there!"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a stone door with complex patterns carved on it. The patterns on the door seemed to tell some kind of story, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling.

"What is this?" Xiaohui asked puzzledly.

Lin Feng approached the stone door, gently stroked the patterns on it, and said, "This should be an important entrance, but how do we open it?"

Suddenly, a ray of light flashed, and a mechanism in the middle of the stone door quietly turned, and the entire stone door slowly opened. As the stone door opened, a strong breath surged out from inside, as if calling them.

"This door actually opened automatically..." Zhang Zhen said in surprise.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and said with a firm look in his eyes: "No matter what, we have to go in and take a look. Get ready, let's go."

Following his words, everyone stepped into the depths of the ancient ruins behind the stone gate, which was full of unknowns and dangers. "I don't know what's waiting for us inside..." Xiaohui said softly.

"No matter what it is, as long as we are together, there is nothing we can't overcome." Lin Feng replied firmly.

The team passed through the mysterious stone door and was greeted by a long corridor. Ancient torches were hung on the walls on both sides, and the dim flames illuminated the road ahead. The air was filled with an indescribable ancient atmosphere, as if thousands of years had quietly flowed through this corridor.

Lin Feng held the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes firm, and led everyone forward slowly. Everyone was filled with anticipation and nervousness, and no one knew what would happen next.

"Wait! Something seems to be moving over there!"

Zhang Zhen's voice made everyone stop and turn around to look. They saw that the shadow in the darkness seemed to be moving slowly, accompanied by a strange sound.

"It looks like the guards here have been triggered. We need to prepare for a fight."

Lin Feng nodded, drew his sword, and said to everyone with a firm look: "Everyone, prepare to fight, follow me closely, and don't fall behind."

As the words fell, several huge stone statues gradually emerged from the shadows. Their eyes flashed blood-red light. Although their movements were clumsy, every step was steady and powerful. The stone statues held heavy stone hammers in their hands, as if they were warriors guarding the ruins.

"Everyone spread out and find cover!"

Everyone moved quickly, dispersed, and sought cover. At this time, a stone statue rushed towards Xiaohui, who was closest to it, and swung a huge stone hammer to smash it. Xiaohui reacted very quickly, nimbly dodged the attack, and swung his sword to stab the stone statue's leg joint. Although he failed to break it for a while, he made the stone statue stagger.

The two cooperated tacitly. Xiaohui dodged the stone statue's attack while attracting its attention, while Lin Feng attacked from the side, constantly attacking the key parts of the stone statue. The other team members also started to deal with other stone statues. The whole corridor was filled with the sound of weapons colliding and stones breaking.

Just when they thought they had gained the upper hand, more stone statues came out from the dark rooms on both sides and joined the battle. The situation instantly became critical.

"Captain, this won't work. We need to find the weakness!"

Lin Feng frowned, thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, he found that these stone statues always paused briefly when moving, as if they were under some kind of control. So he winked at Xiaohui.

"I understand. I will try my best to guide them to that place!"

He deliberately exposed a flaw and lured a stone statue to chase after him. Sure enough, when the stone statue reached a certain position, it froze for a moment. Taking this opportunity, Lin Feng attacked with all his strength and cut off the stone statue's arm, making it completely incapable of fighting.

Seeing this, everyone was greatly encouraged and followed suit. The battle began to develop in their favor. But at this moment, an accident happened. A stone statue suddenly rushed towards the center of the team like crazy and knocked a team member to the ground.

"Hurry...go!" he said with difficulty, his voice trembling with pain.

"Xiaohui, you must hold on! I will take you back with me!"

After that, he led the others to quickly evacuate the dangerous area, leaving some team members behind to help support. Finally, they came to a relatively safe place and temporarily avoided the pursuit of the stone statue.

"Look over there, is there a light?"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and found that there was indeed a faint beam of light shining through the layers of rocks not far away. It seemed to be an exit.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and said firmly: "No matter how much it costs, we must keep moving forward. Xiaohui, when we return successfully, we will definitely come back to save you!"

The team once again set out on an unknown road, with their faith becoming stronger. At this moment, Xiaohui was fighting a desperate battle with the last stone statue alone...

"I won't give up easily... As long as the captain and the others can find hope..."

In the distance, Ah Ming was still gazing at the ancient ruins, silently praying in his heart: "Lin Feng, you must return successfully! The village is still waiting for your news..."

The team disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind countless mysteries and unsolved mysteries. What will happen in the future? Everything is full of suspense...

A trace of anger flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, and he quickly swung his sword to slash at the crazy stone statue. A series of dense sword lights hit the stone statue like meteors, completely shattering it. Xiaohui lay on the ground, his face pale, but the unyielding fire was still burning in his eyes.

"Hold on, we'll get you out of here right away!" Lin Feng leaned over, gently helped Xiao Hui up, turned around and shouted to everyone, "Everyone retreat immediately, find a safe place to rest, and take care of the wounded!"

Everyone acted quickly, supporting the injured teammate and carefully retreating to the rear. They found a slightly spacious open space and settled the injured. Lin Feng, Zhang Zhen, and Liu Gang were on guard to prevent any other dangers.

"Xiaohui, how are you?" Lin Feng asked with concern. The spiritual power in his hand slowly flowed through Xiaohui's body, trying to relieve his pain.

Xiao Hui forced a smile and said, "It's okay, Captain. It's just a minor injury. Don't worry too much."

Lin Feng shook his head, his eyes firm: "We can't stay here any longer, we have to find the key to the ruins as soon as possible and solve the mystery here. Otherwise, I don't know how many unknown dangers will be waiting for us."

Zhang Zhen nodded and looked around: "This place is too strange, we can't stay here for long. But to find a way out, we must first figure out the control mechanism of those stone statues."

Liu Gang pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "I have an idea. These stone statues are controlled by some kind of power. If we can find the core that controls them, maybe we can crack them."

Lin Feng's eyes lit up: "Be more specific, what did you think of?"

Liu Gang pointed at the broken parts of the statues and said, "I noticed that the joints of these statues have similar designs to mechanisms, which are likely connected to some kind of control core. If we can find this core, we can make these statues lose their combat effectiveness."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go find this core now. Everyone should act separately, be careful, and don't act alone. If there is any situation, notify everyone immediately."

Everyone nodded and started to work in groups. Lin Feng led a small team to the core area of ​​the ruins, while Zhang Zhen and Liu Gang were responsible for the outer perimeter and protecting the wounded. (End of this chapter)
