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

The huge stone gate stands tall, and the densely packed runes on it twist like tadpoles, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura, as if silently telling a forgotten history.

Everyone gathered around the stone gate with solemn expressions, staring intently at the runes, trying to decipher the mystery contained within.

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

The air around the stone gate seemed to be frozen, with a barely perceptible chill that made it difficult to breathe.

An invisible pressure enveloped everyone, as if a pair of invisible eyes were secretly watching their every move.

"What do these runes... mean?" Blacksmith Zhao 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 writing." Elder Chen stroked his beard, frowned, and his eyes flashed with thought, "But I have never seen this kind of writing before."

Everyone began to try various methods to decipher the runes.

Based on the shape of the rune, Doctor Zhang tried to compare it with known characters; Master Lingyin silently recited Buddhist scriptures, hoping to gain inspiration from them; even the usually careless Luo Xiaoyu became cautious and carefully observed every detail of the rune.

However, the runes seemed to have a kind of magic. Whenever people interpreted them incorrectly, they would release a burst of energy to attack everyone.

It was just a slight vibration at first, but as the number of errors increased, the energy grew in intensity.

The crowd was constantly attacked and was in a state of disgrace and tattered clothes.

"We can't go on like this!" Luo Xiaoyu said anxiously, covering her injured arm. "We have to think of a way!"

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

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

"No!" Elder Chen objected sharply, "We must be cautious, otherwise it will only waste time and energy."

The two argued and the atmosphere became tense.

The man in white tried to quell the argument, but it didn't work.

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

Xiaohong's words calmed everyone down. They realized that only by unity and cooperation could they overcome the current difficulties.

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

"Ah!" A scream broke the silence, and blood stained the ground red...

Energy exploded, Luo Xiaoyu groaned, staggered back, covering his chest, bright red blood seeped out from between his fingers, staining his coarse cloth clothes red.

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

"Yu'er!" Granny Lin exclaimed and hurried to help her.

Luo Xiaoyu looked pale, breathing rapidly, and said while enduring the pain: "I... I'm fine..."

Luo Xiaoyu's injury cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

Deciphering runes requires a high level of concentration, and any mistake will result in backlash.

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

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

She sat dejectedly on the ground, her eyes unfocused, staring at the still mysterious stone door, her heart filled with a sense of powerlessness.

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

Hope seems to be getting slimmer and slimmer.

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

The air around me became increasingly heavy, making it hard to breathe.

Luo Xiaoyu, who has always been carefree 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 door.

Suddenly, she looked up as if she had discovered something.
"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. She pointed at the runes on the stone door and said firmly, "These runes... they... they seem to... have a certain pattern..."

Luo Xiaoyu struggled to stand up, pointed at a rune on the stone door, and said: "Look here, these runes, although they have different shapes, but...but the way they are arranged...is 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 the runes according to the rules she discovered, and surprisingly...

There has been some progress!
Seeing this, everyone's spirits were lifted, and their originally depressed mood was rekindled with a glimmer of hope.

They surrounded Luo Xiaoyu, holding their breath and watching her interpret the runes step by step.

"No... here... this should be..." Luo Xiaoyu suddenly stopped, frowning, as if he had encountered some problem.

"What's wrong?" Xiaohong asked anxiously.

Luo Xiaoyu did not answer, but stared closely at the runes on the stone door, her fingers trembling slightly...

"I...I need..."

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

Her trembling fingers moved slowly on the stone door, and she murmured to herself: "It's... it's a pattern... These runes are not random, but... they are arranged in a special order!"

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

She struggled to share her discovery with everyone, and everyone put their heads together and gradually figured out the pattern of the runes.

Those symbols that wriggled like tadpoles were no longer meaningless patterns, but became words that could be interpreted.

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

The light became stronger and stronger, and finally converged into a dazzling beam of light, shooting straight into the sky.

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

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the stone gate slowly moved to both sides. The friction between heavy stones made a harsh sound, as if telling a piece of ancient history.

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

A powerful force instantly surged into everyone's bodies, greatly enhancing their strength.

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

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

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

The man in white picked her up excitedly and whispered something in her ear. Both of their faces were filled with happiness.

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

Everyone hugged each other and felt proud of each other's efforts and contributions.

"Thank you, Xiaoyu!" Granny Lin said softly.

"Without you, we would not be able to solve this mystery!" Doctor Zhang also sighed.

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

Everyone couldn't wait to walk into the space behind the stone door.

What comes into view is a huge stone chamber, which is filled with all kinds of rare treasures, shining with dazzling light, and there are also many martial arts secrets that exude an ancient atmosphere.

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

Feelings of excitement and excitement spread across everyone's face, and they began to distribute treasures and learn secrets.

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

Everyone's eyes were filled with longing and desire. They knew that their destiny was about to undergo a drastic change.

"This secret book... doesn't seem to be that simple..." Li the hunter said with a frown as he flipped open an ancient book.

The golden light is shining, and rare treasures are piled up like mountains, emitting an alluring glow.

Ancient secret books were scattered throughout the stone chamber, as if whispering ancient secrets. Everyone breathed rapidly, with greed flashing in their eyes.

The team, which was originally united and supportive of each other, is now torn apart by an inexplicable force.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone's face was filled with desire and anxiety.

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

"Doctor Zhang saves lives and heals the wounded, so he deserves this medical book!" Granny Lin was the first to stand up and support Doctor Zhang.

"Blacksmith Zhao is extremely strong, so he can protect us. This secret book should belong to him!" Hunter Wang also expressed his position.

Everyone took sides, and the atmosphere in the stone chamber was tense, as if a spark could cause an explosion.

Master Lingyin clasped his hands together and urged loudly: "Amitabha, donors must not be blinded by greed..." However, his voice was drowned out by the quarrels of the crowd and no one paid attention.

Xiaohong looked at everything in front of her, feeling mixed emotions.

She walked silently to the man in white and held his hand tightly.

The man in white looked down at her with a complicated expression, and whispered softly in her ear: "What do you want? I can get it for you."

Xiaohong looked at the people in front of her who were arguing fiercely for the treasure, and her heart felt as if it had fallen into an icy cave, filled with coldness.

The light of the treasure became more and more dazzling, reflecting the distorted faces of the people. The former friendship and trust seemed to be completely swallowed up by this golden light.

She originally thought that everyone could share the gift of this adventure together as they did in the beginning, but now it seems that it was just her wishful thinking.

The air was filled with a suffocating smell of desire, which made her feel depressed.

The noisy quarrel made her eardrums hurt, and every word was like a sharp blade, cutting the only remaining hope in her heart.

She felt that the distance between herself and this group of people was getting farther and farther, as if she was on an isolated island surrounded by surging waves.

The feeling of loneliness surged into her heart like a tide, making her feel more helpless than ever before.

She sighed softly, turned around, and stopped looking at the group of people who were crazy about the treasure. She felt like an outsider and out of place.

She walked out of the center of the stone chamber with heavy steps and headed towards a remote corner. No one noticed her departure, not even her most trusted Grandma Lin.

Her back looked lonely and helpless, as if she was an abandoned leaf, drifting alone.

In the dark corner, the only sound was her own clear breathing.

Just when she thought she could take a breath, a familiar figure blocked the light in front of her.

The man in white stood in front of her, his deep eyes burning with blazing flames, like a cheetah eyeing its prey.

His gaze was like a ball of fire, instantly igniting a certain desire in her heart. Xiaohong's body trembled slightly, and a strange feeling spread from the bottom of her heart.

The man in white approached her step by step, and the aura on his body became stronger and stronger, like mellow liquor, making Xiaohong want to get closer involuntarily.

He suddenly hugged Xiaohong into his arms, tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

Xiaohong did not resist. She was greedy for the warm breath on his body, and both of their breathing became rapid.

The air around them seemed to become boiling hot, burning their exposed skin.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips. The passionate kiss was as aggressive as a storm, making it impossible for her to breathe.

He pushed her into the corner, and the two of them pressed tightly together, breathing intertwined, as if they were in a piece of boiling magma.

He tore her clothes off like a mad beast, eager to devour her.

She was like a flower swaying in the wind, allowing him to pluck her.

"You..." His hoarse voice was filled with a hint of lust. He lowered his head again and kissed her neck, leaving an ambiguous red mark. Then, his voice disappeared in the intertwined breathing of the two...

Luo Xiaoyu really couldn't stand the sight of these people arguing over treasures, so she stood up suddenly, put her hands on her hips, opened her eyes wide, and shouted angrily: "Shut up!" Her voice was like thunder, exploding in the stone chamber.

Everyone was shocked by her sudden momentum. They closed their mouths and looked at her in surprise.

Luo Xiaoyu's chest rose and fell violently. She pointed at those who were fighting for the treasure and said sternly, "For such a small thing, you have become so ugly! How pathetic!" She looked around at everyone and said in a clear voice, "Why don't we collect all the treasures and secret books and distribute them according to needs? Whoever needs it can take it. Wouldn't it be better?"

Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and began to seriously think about Luo Xiaoyu's proposal.

They were previously blinded by greed, but now they gradually calmed down.

After some discussion, they felt that Luo Xiaoyu's method was indeed feasible. It could not only avoid conflicts, but also allow everyone to get what they wanted.

Everyone nodded, with looks of admiration on their faces.

Under Luo Xiaoyu's command, everyone completed the distribution quickly. Everyone got the treasures and secret books they wanted, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of distribution, the taciturn Wang Hunter suddenly spoke. His voice was low and sincere: "Actually, I have no interest in these treasures and secret books. Take whatever you want. I will give my share to the person who needs it most." Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned again and looked at him in surprise.

They couldn't believe that anyone could resist the temptation of treasure.

Wang the Hunter's actions were like a stream of fresh air, cleansing their hearts that were blinded by greed.

Everyone lowered their heads in shame and began to reflect on their previous behavior.

Everyone followed Wang the Hunter's example and showed courtesy to each other, and the atmosphere in the stone chamber became harmonious again.

However, the good times did not last long. Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, the air around them suddenly became gloomy and cold.

An ominous premonition came over everyone.

They were horrified to find that some strange creatures appeared in the corners of the stone chamber.

Some of these creatures look like giant spiders covered with spikes; others look like wriggling lumps of flesh covered with densely packed eyes and emitting a disgusting stench.

They slowly approached the crowd, making creepy roars, and the air was filled with a dangerous atmosphere.

Everyone felt terrified in an instant, and they all tightened their weapons, watching vigilantly at the terrifying creatures that were gradually approaching.

"Hiss..." A huge spider monster with six legs slowly raised its front legs.

The six-legged spider monster raised its front paws high, with its toes flashing coldly, like sharp scimitars.

It hissed and a fishy, ​​foul breath gushed out, making people feel sick.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the monster, and they gripped their weapons tighter.

The air seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.

Xiaohong clung tightly to Luo Xiaoyu, with cold sweat oozing from her palms. Luo Xiaoyu held her hand in return, giving her silent comfort.

Granny Lin hid behind Doctor Zhang, muttering to herself, as if praying for the gods' protection.

Elder Chen held a cane in his hand and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, looking for the monster's weakness.

Blacksmith Zhao carried the hammer on his shoulder, his muscles tense, ready to fight at any time.

Master Lingyin clasped his hands together, his face solemn, and chanted Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.

The brothers Li and Wang stood back to back, watching the movements around them vigilantly.

Suddenly, the six-legged spider monster moved!
It was as fast as lightning and appeared in front of everyone in almost an instant.

Before the crowd even had time to react, several people were hit.

Screams were heard and blood splattered.

Luo Xiaoyu was unable to dodge and was scratched on the arm by the spider monster's spikes. The blood instantly dyed her sleeves red.

"Xiao Yu!" Xiao Hong exclaimed and quickly tore off her clothes to bandage her.

"You beast, watch out!" Doctor Zhang roared, took out a packet of medicine powder from his arms and sprinkled it at the spider monster.

However, when the powder fell on the spider monster, it was like a drop in the ocean and had no effect at all.

The spider monster let out a sharp hiss, as if mocking Doctor Zhang's overestimation of his own abilities.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Just then, the man in white moved.

His figure flashed and he instantly appeared in front of the spider monster. He muttered something and formed a strange seal with his hands.

A golden light shot out from his hand and hit the spider monster. (End of this chapter)
