The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

"Everyone be careful!" the man in white shouted in a low voice, the true energy surged in his hands, and rays of light shot towards the rune puppet.

Wherever the light reached, the puppets collapsed and turned into fluorescent dots that disappeared in the air.

The space flickered due to the magic light, and the flickering light and shadow were reflected on Doctor Zhang's nervous face. He stared at the man in white and held his breath.

"These puppets... seem to be immortal!" Luo Xiaoyu shouted in horror. A puppet that was smashed by the man in white actually re-condensed and pounced on her again.

The puppets' attacks became more and more fierce, and everyone gradually lost their strength...

Xiao Hong looked at the increasingly pale face of the man in white, and her heart sank: "If this continues, we..."

The rune puppets' attack was like a violent storm, one wave after another, with no sign of stopping.

They wielded blades formed from runes, making chilling sounds of breaking through the air.

Everyone was exhausted from running around, their clothes were already soaked with sweat, and their physical strength was rapidly depleting.

Blacksmith Zhao's breathing became heavy, and the injury on his chest made his movements even slower.

Li the Hunter waved the spear in his hand, trying his best to stop the puppet from approaching, but rune fragments still occasionally scratched his skin, leaving blood marks.

Luo Xiaoyu was in even greater danger. In order to protect Granny Lin beside her, she used her body to block an attack from a puppet.

The sharp rune blade pierced her shoulder, and blood gushed out immediately, staining the collar of her clothes red.

She groaned, her body swayed, but she did not fall down in the end.

She clenched her teeth, her eyes stubborn, and held on to her body.

"Xiao Yu!" Grandma Lin exclaimed and quickly supported the staggering Luo Xiaoyu.

She looked at the shocking wound on Luo Xiaoyu's shoulder and burst into tears.

Seeing this, everyone gathered around and asked about Luo Xiaoyu's injuries with concern.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and the atmosphere was depressing and suffocating.

Xiaohong looked at Luo Xiaoyu's pale face, tears welling up in her eyes.

She clenched her fists tightly, feeling powerless and guilty.

She hated herself for being weak and unable to protect her friends.

She gritted her teeth and tried to calm herself down, knowing that despairing now was useless and would only make things worse.

Just when everyone thought they could only rely on force, Elder Chen suddenly shouted, "No! These puppets do not have self-awareness. They are controlled by the chaotic energy in the rune array!"

Elder Chen's words were like a flash of lightning that cut through the desperate night sky.

Everyone showed surprise on their faces. They stopped what they were doing and looked at Elder Chen.
"Look at these rune puppets. Their attacks are completely random and are completely driven by the energy of the rune array. As long as we can find the source of the energy disorder in the rune array and repair it, these puppets will naturally stop attacking!" Elder Chen pointed at the flashing runes on the ground and spoke quickly.

"Really?" Luo Xiaoyu struggled to stand up and asked in disbelief.

"Maybe... we don't have to fight so hard anymore?" Li the hunter wiped the blood off his face, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Everyone looked at each other, with a hint of joy and a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Elder Chen walked to the edge of the rune array and carefully observed the runes on the ground. He squatted down, pointed at a special rune and said, "It's here! The energy of this rune is the most chaotic. It's like an out-of-control source, pulling the energy of the entire rune array! Repair it, and everything will be over!"

Everyone held their breath,

Just as she was about to carefully identify it, the man in white who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke up: "This rune... I'll do it!"

As soon as Elder Chen finished speaking, the man in white flashed and arrived at the center of the rune formation.

He formed seals with his hands and muttered something. A dazzling white light burst out from his palms and shot straight towards the disordered runes.

The moment the white light touched the rune, the entire rune array vibrated violently, as if a sleeping beast was awakened.

The chaotic rune light gradually stabilized, and the flashing frequency became steady and rhythmic.

The originally violent energy fluctuations gradually subsided, and the strange energy in the air also dissipated.

The rune puppets' movements became sluggish, and the rune light on their bodies gradually dimmed, eventually turning into dots of fluorescent light and merging into everyone's bodies.

A warm current flowed through the body, and everyone felt a powerful force surging in their body.

Blacksmith Zhao clenched his fists, feeling unprecedented strength, and shouted excitedly: "My strength has increased!"

Li the Hunter swung his spear a few times and was pleasantly surprised to find that his speed and strength had increased a lot.

Even the injured Luo Xiaoyu felt that the pain in the wound was much relieved and the fatigue in the body was swept away.

Confident smiles appeared on everyone's faces again. The joy of surviving the disaster and the excitement of increased strength intertwined together, making them hug each other and celebrate with each other.

The space around them seemed to brighten up because of their emotions, and the air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The man in white gently put Luo Xiaoyu down. Xiaohong hurried forward to support her and looked at the man in white with gratitude.

Granny Lin looked at everyone with satisfaction, a kind smile on her face.

"We... seem to have become stronger..." Xiaohong muttered to herself as she looked at her hands, feeling the power surging in her body.

Luo Xiaoyu nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Yes, we seem to have... broken through some kind of limitation..."

Doctor Zhang looked around, his eyes full of doubts: "But... here... seems to be a little different..."

Before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook, and a huge rune array slowly rose up, emitting a dazzling light...

###Fu Ming starts a new journey

**[INCIDENT]**
The ground was shaking more and more intensely, and a huge rune array slowly rose up, emitting dazzling light, illuminating the entire rune array.

Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and nervousness. Blacksmith Zhao shouted excitedly, "Look, everyone, there seems to be a passage in this rune array!"

The passage exudes an alluring light, like a road leading to an unknown world.

The runes in the light seemed to be dancing, making people feel both mysterious and uneasy.

Xiaohong held Luo Xiaoyu's hand tightly, feeling her slightly trembling fingertips, and both of their faces flushed with excitement.

"For so many years, the legend about the rune array has been circulating in the village. Today, we are finally going to uncover its mystery." Elder Chen's voice trembled slightly, but his eyes were unusually firm.

Everyone supported each other and stepped into the passage carefully.

The interior of the passage is spacious, but the surrounding walls are covered with ancient runes that emit a faint fluorescence.

With every step on the ground, they could feel the runes beneath their feet vibrating slightly, as if the entire passage was responding to their arrival.

"This place... is becoming more and more extraordinary." Li the Hunter said in a low voice, holding the spear tightly in his hand and looking around vigilantly.

There is a mysterious energy in the air that makes people's heart beat faster involuntarily.

Granny Lin's kind face also revealed a focused expression. She whispered, "The rune murals in this passage seem to indicate something..."

As they walked along the passage, the mural gradually became clearer before their eyes.

The murals are painted with various ancient runes and mysterious patterns, some of which seem to depict an ancient battle, while others show some kind of ritual.

These rune murals seemed to have life, gradually becoming vivid as they walked.

"What are these murals telling us?" Doctor Zhang stared at the murals.

Suddenly, the runes on the mural seemed to be activated by some force. They slowly rose from the mural and flew towards everyone.

Each rune emits a dazzling light that makes people dare not look directly at it.

Luo Xiaoyu's face was pale. She held Xiaohong's hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly: "These runes... they are alive!"

Everyone looked terrified, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of danger.

Elder Chen's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but he still said firmly: "Don't panic, we must stay calm! These runes must have their purpose, we must find out their true meaning!"

At this moment, a huge rune flew towards the man in white. A light flashed in the man's eyes and he reached out to catch it.

The rune emitted a dazzling light in his hand, as if conveying some message.

Everyone held their breath and watched the scene nervously, not knowing how this unknown adventure would continue.

"What... does this mean?" the man in white asked in a low voice. The light of the rune in his hand gradually weakened, and finally turned into a faint fluorescence and merged into his hand.

Everyone's heartbeats quickened, their eyes filled with fear. The rune murals seemed to have life, gradually becoming more vivid as they walked.

Doctor Zhang stared at the mural. Suddenly, the runes on the mural seemed to be activated by some force. They slowly rose from the mural and flew towards everyone.

Each rune emits a dazzling light that makes people dare not look directly at it.

Luo Xiaoyu's face was pale. She held Xiaohong's hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly: "These runes... they are alive!" Everyone's face was filled with horror, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of danger.

Elder Chen's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but he still said firmly: "Don't panic, we must stay calm! These runes must have their purpose, we must find out their true meaning!"

At this moment, a huge rune flew towards the man in white. A light flashed in the man's eyes and he reached out to catch it.

The rune emitted a dazzling light in his hand, as if conveying some message.

Everyone held their breath and watched the scene nervously, not knowing how this unknown adventure would continue.

"What... does this mean?" the man in white asked in a low voice. The light of the rune in his hand gradually weakened, and finally turned into a faint fluorescence and merged into his hand.

Suddenly, more runes began to emerge from the mural. They danced in the air, flashing strange light.

These runes seemed to have their own will and began to attack everyone.

Some runes are transformed into blazing flames, while others are transformed into sharp ice spikes.

Li the Hunter quickly raised his shield to block the flying ice spikes, but his shield made a harsh metallic friction sound when hit by the ice spikes.

Doctor Zhang was taking care of the injured people nervously. His hands were treating Luo Xiaoyu's wounds. Her clothes were singed by the flames, leaving obvious burn marks on her skin.

The rune attacks continued and increased in number, and gradually the crowd could no longer withstand them.

Luo Xiaoyu was hit by the fire rune and fell to the ground in pain. Xiaohong rushed over and called her name with tears in her eyes.

Granny Lin looked around nervously, her voice trembling, but she still tried her best to comfort everyone.

At this moment, the man in white suddenly stood up, quickly formed seals with his hands, and chanted an ancient spell.

As he cast his spell, the air around him became distorted, and the light of the runes seemed much dimmer under the light of the spell.

Li the Hunter and Zhang the Doctor
Suddenly, the white-clothed man's spell reached its climax, a dazzling light burst out from his hand, and the runes were wrapped in the light, as if bound by some force.

Everyone held their breath, and the tension in the air reached its peak.

Just when the runes were about to be completely subdued, a voice rang in everyone's ears: "Do you think it will end like this?" The fire rune was like a roaring fire dragon, and the ice rune was like the fangs of the Ice Queen, attacking everyone madly.

Blacksmith Zhao's hammer was melted by the fire rune, the dripping molten iron burned his skin, and he roared in pain.

Li Liehu's shield had long been broken into pieces and his body was covered with scars.

The power of the people seemed so insignificant in front of these living runes, and feelings of despair surged into their hearts like a tide.

At this moment, a sharp ice spike rushed towards Grandma Lin.

Seeing this, Elder Chen stood in front of Grandma Lin without hesitation.

The ice spikes pierced his body, and blood gushed out, staining his clothes red.

Elder Chen groaned and slowly fell down.

"Elder!" everyone exclaimed and surrounded him.

Granny Lin covered Elder Chen's wound with trembling hands, tears streaming down her face.

A depressing atmosphere enveloped everyone, as if a huge rock was pressing on their chest, making it hard to breathe.

Xiaohong looked at the injured Elder Chen, tears welling up in her eyes.

She bit her lips tightly, trying hard to hold back the tears.

She had never felt so helpless, so hopeless.

"Wait..." Doctor Zhang carefully observed the direction and changes of these runes, and suddenly thought of something, "These runes... they seem to be... arranged in combinations! Could it be... that this is a test of us from the rune array?"

Everyone was stunned, and then they suddenly realized.

It turns out that these living runes are not meant to kill them, but are the last level of the rune array!
As long as you rearrange these runes, you can resolve the crisis!

The flame of hope was ignited again, and confident smiles appeared on everyone's faces again.

Working together, they began to rearrange the runes.

Xiaohong moved the fire rune carefully, while Luo Xiaoyu rearranged the ice rune according to Doctor Zhang's instructions.

The space around them seemed to brighten up because of their emotions.

The man in white walked up to Xiaohong, hugged her gently, and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine..."

Xiaohong snuggled in the arms of the man in white, feeling his warm embrace. The fear in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a full sense of security and love.

She raised her head, stared into the deep eyes of the man in white, and said softly: "Thank you, it's great to have you around." The man in white gently stroked Xiaohong's hair, with a faint smile on his face.

Granny Lin looked at this scene and smiled with relief.

Her kind eyes swept over the crowd, and Li the Hunter smiled naively. He scratched his head and said, "That's good. Everyone is fine now."

Everyone worked together to carefully place the last rune in place.

As the last rune returned to its place, the entire rune array emitted a dazzling light, and a huge column of energy gushed out from the center of the rune array and rushed straight into the sky.

The energy column emitted powerful energy fluctuations, causing the valley to buzz.

This column of energy poured down like a waterfall, completely enveloping everyone.

Xiaohong felt a warm current flowing into her body, as if all the cells in her body were cheering.

She felt her strength increased like never before, and an unprecedented powerful feeling filled her whole body.

She clenched her fists excitedly, feeling the power surging in her body.

Luo Xiaoyu also felt this powerful energy. She jumped up excitedly and shouted, "I feel full of power! I can defeat any enemy!"

The energy column lasted for a moment and then gradually dissipated, and dazzling light appeared around everyone's bodies.

Wherever the light reached, the treasures in the rune array emerged one after another.

Glittering gold coins, crystal clear gems, weapons and equipment that exude an ancient atmosphere...

There are a wide variety of rare treasures, which are dazzling.

"I'm rich! I'm rich!" Luo Xiaoyu shouted excitedly. She couldn't wait to rush towards the treasures and put them into her pocket one by one.

Xiaohong looked at everything in front of her, her heart filled with joy.

She knew that this adventure not only made them gain huge wealth, but more importantly, it brought their relationship closer.

"Let's go." The man in white took Xiaohong's hand, his eyes sparkling, "New adventures are waiting for us..."

Everyone returned with full loads, carrying bulging packages on their backs and excited smiles on their faces.

Luo Xiaoyu was humming a tuneless little song, and from time to time she touched the purse at her waist, making a crisp metallic collision sound.

"Now I'm rich!" she shouted excitedly, her voice echoing in the empty rune array.

At this moment, the ground beneath my feet suddenly shook violently.

Cracks began to appear in the stone wall above their heads, and broken stones fell down, hitting everyone's shoulders with a dull sound.

"Oh no! The rune formation is about to collapse!" Doctor Zhang's face changed and he shouted loudly.

The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense.

No one dared to stay any longer and rushed towards the exit.

The tremors became more and more violent, and rocks above heads kept falling, making loud rumbling noises, as if the whole world was collapsing.

Xiaohong held the white-clothed man's hand tightly, feeling the warmth from his palm, and the fear in her heart subsided a little.

The man in white protected her tightly, with a firm gaze and steady steps.

Luo Xiaoyu ran in the front, she was agile and nimble, dodging the falling rocks. (End of this chapter)
