Alliance: A Great Compassion Mantra, I make the whole network autistic

Following a dull roar, the entire space seemed to be surrounded by some kind of energy. A powerful force spread in the air, and then everything became quiet. The monsters that were originally rampant on the ground gradually disappeared, leaving only an empty and quiet space.

"Success!" Toby shouted ecstatically, "Can we move on to the next area now?"

However, Ariel shook his head. "This is just a transition point. The real challenge is still to come. What you will face next is far more dangerous than before."

The woman took a deep breath. She knew Ariel was right. Although there were countless unknown dangers ahead, her faith and trust in her companions were unshakable. "Then let's keep moving forward," she said firmly. "I hope we won't encounter any new enemies this time."

Suddenly, a cold wind blew through the cave, bringing a chill. "What happened just now?" asked a small businessman who was watching. He was one of the onlookers who came to the cave later. Most of them were curious people who followed the legend of the treasure. "That little girl can actually control such powerful magic? It's incredible!" Another passerby was amazed.

"This is a rare spectacle." An explorer who looked a little older exclaimed, "I have seen a lot in my life, but I have never seen such a mechanism design. Those young people are really good!"

While they were discussing, the man who had led the way into the cave came over. He had a somewhat unwilling smile on his face, and was obviously not satisfied with being robbed of the opportunity by a group of amateurs. "You guys are really quick, but don't be too happy too soon, the real test may still be waiting for you later." He said with a hint of meaning.

Upon hearing this, Matthew immediately turned around and looked at the man, frowning slightly: "What do you mean? Do you know some secrets that we don't know? Or do you have other intentions?"

The person on the other side smiled but did not answer, just shook his head to indicate that he had no ill intentions. "Since we are in a competitive relationship, of course everyone hopes to be the first to discover the final secret. But since we have decided to go hand in hand, we might as well share some information. For example... it is said that there will be an extremely powerful guardian in the next area. The reason why the legendary treasure has not been touched so far is not because it is hidden so well, but because of the existence of this guardian."

Then she raised her voice and asked everyone to gather together. "Listen carefully, everyone. According to the latest intelligence, we may encounter an extremely powerful obstacle on our next journey. Now is not the time to be suspicious of each other. Only unity and cooperation can overcome difficulties. Matthew, Leonard, the two of you will be responsible for leading the way; Toby, you and Jack will protect everyone's safety; and the little demon girl and I will work together to maintain communication between the teams."

"As for those outsiders," she turned to the person who had just spoken, "if you are willing to join us, please make sure that your actions do not affect the interests of the entire team. Now, it's time to set off."

Just as the team was getting ready to go, a young man who had been silent before suddenly said, "Wait a minute!" Everyone's eyes turned to this young man who had not communicated much before. "I think that in addition to the seemingly simple goal, this place may hide a deeper purpose. Have you ever thought about why this place is set up in such a complicated form? Maybe it is not just to test people's wisdom and courage..."

Before he finished speaking, a mysterious and confusing atmosphere suddenly filled the room. Even the air seemed to freeze. The woman nodded thoughtfully, "What you said does make sense. Perhaps when we truly solve the mystery, we will realize that the story hidden here is far beyond our initial assumptions... But now the only thing we can do is to move forward bravely."

Everyone was ready to go. As a cold wind blew from the depths of the passage, the entire cave seemed to be shrouded in an indescribable atmosphere. Everyone felt the heavy pressure in the air, especially Matthew and Leonard, who stood at the front of the team and seemed particularly alert.

"Is this the place with the guardian you mentioned?" Matthew asked. Although there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, he was more worried about what was about to happen.

"Well, at least that's what the rumor says." The man who claimed to be a competitor nodded, "But the legendary Western water demon ape is not easy to deal with."

At this moment, a sound of water broke the silence in the cave. Everyone became nervous and clenched their weapons. Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out of the pool not far away, followed by a deafening roar. A huge figure quickly approached them - it was the Western Water Demon Ape! Its body was tall and mighty, covered with dark blue hair, its eyes flashed red, and it exuded a creepy aura.

The crowd of onlookers exclaimed: "Oh my god, this monster is so scary!" "What the hell is this thing? Why do I have goose bumps all over my body?" "Those people can actually face this scene calmly... It's amazing!"

At the same time, the battle was about to break out. Ariel rushed towards the ape in the western water with a long sword in hand, shouting, "Scatter quickly! Try to distract its attention!" Then he suddenly jumped up and launched several fierce attacks, trying to draw the ape towards himself.

However, the opponent did not seem to be enraged, but rushed forward more fiercely. Its huge fist hit the ground fiercely, and rocks flew everywhere, almost injuring everyone around. The woman quickly cast a defensive magic to protect the team's safety, and ordered everyone: "Now we can only rely on speed and wisdom to win! Be careful!"

Seeing this, Toby hurriedly raised his shield to block his teammates from the impact, "Tommy, Jack, are you ready to fight back?" The three of them smiled at each other and began to run around the demon ape, constantly looking for flaws to inflict damage.

Just as the situation gradually became stalemate, a passerby couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my! I didn't expect this exploration would be so dangerous." Someone on the other side also said loudly: "It's really exciting, just like reading a novel, making me sweat."

As the enemy approached and the situation became more critical, Matthew, who had not participated in the battle but was only observing the situation, suddenly discovered a key point: although the monster had strong attack power, it was slow in movement and had poor eyesight. In dim light, it was almost half-blind. So he decided to try a risky strategy. "Listen to me," he quickly said to his companions, "When the moonlight is weakening, we should hide in the darkness and then attack from different directions. This should be able to effectively disrupt its judgment."

The woman nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea, but remember to cooperate well or the consequences will be unpredictable."

The plan was immediately implemented. Several people hid in batches and waited for the right time to launch a surprise attack. The battlefield, which had been calm, became boiling again. After several rounds of attacks, the demon ape began to look exhausted. Finally, under the last collective attack, the terrible guard fell down and turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Just as the demon ape turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace, the entire cave suddenly became silent. Everyone seemed to be relieved, but also felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

"We succeeded!" The woman's voice was a little tired, but her eyes were still firm. "Thanks to everyone's tacit understanding and courage, we were able to overcome this difficulty."

"Yeah, I can't believe we defeated such a strong opponent." Jack patted his chest, looking a little scared.

Matthew wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked back at everyone: "But this is not the final victory. We must move on and find the missing Su Ye."

The competitor smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "You are right, your group is indeed very strong. But the challenges ahead will only be more difficult." The onlookers nearby also expressed their surprise and admiration: "What an incredible young man! He can even deal with such a powerful monster."

A man dressed as a businessman was even more amazed: "That female wizard is so powerful, her magic can actually keep those horrible things out."

"It seems that this expedition is really not something that ordinary people can do." An old explorer sighed, "Although I have seen a lot, I have rarely seen dangers of this scale."

Just as everyone was immersed in the brief joy brought by this small victory, Ariel suddenly said: "Next we will face not only a powerful enemy, but also a bigger secret. This place is not simple, we must be more careful."

The atmosphere in the team became tense again. The woman nodded in agreement and turned to the man who was competing with her. "Excuse me, do you have any more information to share? We are running out of time."

The other party thought for a moment and spoke slowly: "According to my information, this is not just a simple treasure trove. Legend has it that an ancient power is sealed here, and this is one of the things Su Ye is looking for. However... he may have met with an accident."

The woman frowned. “You mean to say that there is not only a treasure hidden here, but also a powerful force waiting to be discovered or liberated?”

The man nodded: "That's right. But you don't have to worry too much. If you can pass these tests successfully, maybe you can find his whereabouts."

At this time, Toby couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the two and asked, "So, what should we do now?"

Ariel looked into the darkness in the distance. "Next we need to go to the underwater maze. There are more complicated mechanisms there, and it is also a forbidden place in many rumors. But I think this is the key to solving the mystery."

After hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, as if they all realized that the road ahead would be full of unknowns and dangers. "Then let's go down together!" Toby said loudly, waving the long sword in his hand.

Just as everyone was getting ready to leave, a small businessman who was watching couldn't help but speak up: "Everyone, if you still need help, I can provide some material support. Maybe I can help in some way."

The woman smiled and replied, "Thank you very much for your kindness, but speed is the most important thing now. If we are lucky enough to meet again, I will definitely repay you in person."

As she spoke, the woman turned around and led the entire team on a new journey into the underwater maze.

"Wait!" At this time, the taciturn young man who had not expressed an opinion spoke again and called out to everyone, "I have a hunch... this route may allow us to discover more secrets about this place and Su Ye. I hope everyone will stay alert and pay close attention to anything unusual around them."

The gentle yet slightly strange sound of flowing water echoed around, adding a bit of mystery to the silence...

As the young man finished speaking, the entire cave seemed to be shrouded in a thicker mysterious atmosphere. The woman turned around with a determined light in her eyes: "He is right, we must remain vigilant. Any tiny clue may become the key to solving the mystery."

The atmosphere in the team suddenly became heavy. Jack tightly grasped the weapon in his hand and whispered, "Well, in this case, we must be more careful. No one knows what will happen next."

Ariel nodded and glanced at everyone: "Then let's go. Remember, we are a team. We must always stay in touch and support each other."

Everyone nodded and followed the woman on the road to the underwater maze. The passage became narrower and narrower, and the surrounding rock walls seemed to be gradually closing in, as if exerting invisible pressure on them.

"It's really a bit eerie here." Jack whispered, looking back from time to time, "I always feel like something is watching us in the dark."

"Don't talk nonsense," Toby interrupted him, "As long as we stay calm and work together, we will be able to get through this difficult time."

The team continued to move forward. The sound of water not far away became louder and louder, as if foreshadowing the danger ahead. When they finally reached the entrance, the scene before them made them gasp involuntarily - a huge stone door was embedded in the stone wall, and the carved patterns on the door emitted a faint blue light.

"Looks like this is it." The competitor said solemnly.

The woman stepped forward and observed carefully for a while, then suddenly said, "Are you all ready? This door doesn't look simple."

"I can't wait!" Ariel was eager to try, "Let's try to see if we can open it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he punched the stone door, but the door did not move at all. The woman immediately waved her hand to signal him to stop: "Wait a minute, I think this door should have a mechanism or password." (End of this chapter)
