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

"Concentrate the attack there!" The man in white acted decisively. The long sword in his hand shone brightly, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the whirlpool.

The green-shirted swordsman followed closely behind, his sword energy was like a rainbow, cutting through the air and making a sharp whistling sound.

Everyone also used all their strength to focus their attacks on the whirlpool.

For a moment, swords flashed, energy surged, and the secret room was filled with the clanging sounds of various weapons colliding and the roar of energy explosions.

The dark blue vortex trembled violently under the combined attack of everyone, and its light gradually dimmed.

Finally, accompanied by a sharp scream, the vortex completely collapsed, and the mysterious power receded like a tide.

"Success!" Luo Xiaoyu waved his fist excitedly, his face filled with joy of surviving a disaster.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

Eyes of admiration were cast on the gray-haired hunter. His calmness and keen observation saved everyone from danger.

"Thanks to you, hunter!" The man in white patted the gray-haired hunter on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration.

The gray-haired hunter just smiled faintly, but his eyes were full of confidence.

The morale of the crowd was boosted, "Pursue the victory!" The man in white raised his sword high and rushed towards the remaining mysterious force.

The crowd followed closely behind, unstoppable, and completely defeated the remaining forces.

During the break of the fight, the man in white held Xiaohong tightly in his arms, stroked her hair, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid." Xiaohong snuggled in his arms, her eyes full of admiration and love.

Granny Lin carefully bandaged Doctor Zhang's wound. They fought side by side and supported each other, and their friendship deepened during the battle.

However, as they were chasing after the remaining force, they discovered that the source of this power led to a passage that had never been discovered and was hidden deep in the secret room.

At the entrance of the passage, there are strange runes carved, exuding a heart-pounding aura.

"This... what is this?" Luo Xiaoyu pointed at the entrance of the passage in horror, her voice trembling.

Everyone stopped and looked at the entrance of the passage vigilantly, with an uneasy premonition coming to their hearts.

Elder Chen looked solemn and said slowly: "It seems that we are involved in a bigger conspiracy..."

Everyone was startled, realizing that a new crisis had arrived. They exchanged glances.
"Let's go in and take a look!" the man in white said in a deep voice, and took the lead to walk towards the entrance of the passage.

The fog of conspiracy hung heavy over everyone's heart, like a huge rock suppressing their breathing.

With serious expressions and determined eyes, they resolutely went deeper into the passage leading to the unknown.

On the walls on both sides of the passage, there are ancient and strange runes carved, flashing a faint green light in the dim light, as if they are a gaze from hell.

The air was filled with a damp and rotten smell mixed with a faint smell of blood, which was disgusting.

As everyone went deeper, the surrounding environment became more and more eerie and terrifying.

The passage became narrower and narrower, and the stone wall above was getting lower and lower, and the feeling of oppression was almost suffocating.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

Drops of water seeped out from the cracks in the stones and fell on the ground, making a crisp echo that was particularly harsh in the silent passage.

Everyone moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution.

Luo Xiaoyu held the dagger tightly in her hand, and her knuckles turned white.

Granny Lin followed Doctor Zhang closely, keeping an eye on his injuries.

The man in white walked in front, the long sword in his hand emitting a cold light. He glanced around vigilantly, ready to deal with sudden danger at any time.

Suddenly, a bottomless trap appeared in front of them. The edge of the trap was as sharp as a knife, which was chilling.

"This...how do I get through this?" Luo Xiaoyu's voice trembled a little.

"Let's go around it, it's too dangerous." Grandma Lin said worriedly.

"No, taking a detour might waste time. What if the enemy takes the opportunity to escape?" Zhao the blacksmith said in a muffled voice. He stroked the giant hammer in his hand, eager to try, "Let me try and see if I can fill this trap."

"Don't be reckless!" Elder Chen stopped him. "The runes around this trap are flickering. It is likely connected to some kind of mechanism. Destroying it rashly may trigger a more dangerous trap."

Everyone was in a stalemate for a moment, and a tense atmosphere spread in the narrow passage.

Elder Chen carefully observed the runes around the trap. After pondering for a moment, he pointed to one of the runes and said, "This rune is the center of the formation. As long as we seal it with a special magic weapon, we can temporarily close the trap."

"A special magical weapon?" Everyone looked at each other.

Elder Chen took out an ancient jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Zhao the blacksmith, "Use this to embed the jade pendant into the center of the rune."

Blacksmith Zhao took the jade pendant, took a deep breath, and walked towards the trap carefully...

Suddenly, a creepy sound came from deep in the passage, "Click——"

Blacksmith Zhao's hands were shaking slightly, and the jade pendant was about to be embedded in the center of the rune.

Suddenly, the stone slab under his feet suddenly sank downwards. With a crisp "click", more stone slabs collapsed one after another. Blacksmith Zhao screamed and fell into the trap.

Everyone was horrified to see that the bottom of the trap was full of sharp spikes. Blacksmith Zhao fell into it, and his life or death was uncertain.

“Blacksmith Zhao!” Luo Xiaoyu screamed and tried to rush over, but Granny Lin grabbed her back and said, “Don’t go over there, it’s too dangerous!”

The runes surrounding the trap glowed brightly, and a powerful force surged out of the trap, forcing everyone back several steps.

Everyone looked at the injured blacksmith Zhao and felt despair.

Luo Xiaoyu stamped her feet anxiously, "What should I do? What should I do?" She looked at the man in white anxiously, as if seeking help.

At this moment, a creepy roar came from the depths of the passage, and then a group of hideous monsters emerged from the darkness. They were huge, with sharp claws and fangs, and bloodthirsty light flashed in their eyes.

"Be careful!" The man in white shouted loudly, swung the sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy slashed towards the monster rushing in the front.

Hunter Li was not to be outdone. He wielded his hunting knife and fought a desperate battle with the monster.

The monster was extremely powerful. Although the man in white and Li the Hunter fought hard, they gradually felt overwhelmed.

The monsters' attacks became more and more organized, gradually surrounding everyone.

"We can't go on like this, we will be exhausted to death by them!" Li the hunter said breathlessly. He already had several wounds on his body, and his clothes were stained red with blood.

Suddenly, the monsters' attack became more fierce. They seemed to have received some kind of instructions and rushed towards the crowd frantically.

Everyone was forced into a desperate situation and was about to be devoured by the monster...

"Their...their eyes!" The girl in yellow suddenly pointed at the monster's eyes and said in a hurried tone.

Before the yellow-clothed girl finished her words, the white-clothed man understood her meaning and stabbed a monster's eye with the tip of his sword.

The monster let out a shrill roar, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.

Seeing this, everyone became excited and followed suit, attacking the monster's eyes.

Swords flashed, knives flew, and the monster's eyes became the target of everyone's attack.

Monsters fell down wailing one after another, and the passage was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Great, we succeeded!" Luo Xiaoyu shouted excitedly, her face filled with joy of surviving the disaster.

Everyone looked at the girl in yellow with admiration. This seemingly weak girl actually discovered the monster's fatal weakness at the critical moment and saved the entire team.

There was not much expression on the face of the girl in yellow. She just nodded lightly, with a hint of solemnity in her eyes.

With their morale boosted, the crowd pursued the victory and continued to advance deeper into the passage.

Although there were a large number of monsters, they were gradually defeated under the precise attacks of the crowd.

Inside the passage, corpses of monsters piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

During the battle, the man in white came to Xiaohong and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Xiaohong shook her head, her eyes full of tenderness, "I'm fine, how about you?"

"I'm fine too." The man in white smiled gently and held Xiaohong's hand gently, giving her strength and a sense of security.

Granny Lin came to the trap and looked at the injured Blacksmith Zhao with distress in her eyes, "Child, you have suffered." She gently stroked Blacksmith Zhao's face, caring for him like a kind elder.

"We will definitely find a way to rescue you." Elder Chen comforted.

Everyone encouraged each other and their friendship deepened in the battle. Finally, after a fierce battle, everyone finally defeated all the monsters.

At the end of the passage, there was a huge stone door with intricate patterns carved on it, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"Where...is this place?" Luo Xiaoyu asked curiously.

Everyone walked to the stone gate and carefully observed the patterns on it.

Elder Chen pointed at one of the patterns and said, "I think I've seen this pattern somewhere before..."

Suddenly, the stone door slowly opened, and a cold breath blew in.

Everyone became nervous and tightened their weapons, ready to face the next challenge.

Inside the stone gate, it was pitch black, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

Everyone walked in cautiously. The air around them became colder and colder, as if they were in an ice cellar.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the darkness, which made people feel creepy.

"Be careful!" the man in white shouted, the long sword in his hand emitting a cold light, and he scanned the surroundings vigilantly...

"Wait," Elder Chen suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, "This sound..."

In the pitch-black space, everyone was walking on thin ice, taking every step carefully.

The cold air clung to them like a maggot on their tarsal bones, chilling them to the bone.

There are endless whispers in my ears, like countless ghosts whispering, sometimes far away, sometimes near, which is frightening.

The air was filled with a nauseating smell of decay mixed with a faint smell of blood.

The cold stone slabs under their feet made creaking sounds from time to time, as if this space had its own life and was mocking their arrival.

"This place... is so fucking weird." Luo Xiaoyu cursed in a low voice, tightly gripping the dagger in his hand, his rough eyebrows locked together, his eyes showing undisguised vigilance.

Xiaohong pursed her lips tightly. The long sword in the white-clothed man's hand emitted a faint cold light, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, ready to attack at any time.

The deeper they went, the more depressing the surrounding environment became. The surrounding walls were like towering beasts, with bared fangs and claws, as if they were ready to devour them at any time.

The air became thinner and thinner, making it hard to breathe.

Everyone became more careful and breathed softly, for fear of disturbing anything.

They spread out and carefully looked at every corner around them, hoping to find some clues.

Finally, they found some strange runes on the wall.

Elder Chen carefully identified these runes, his brows furrowed, as if he was recalling something.

Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu pointed at the runes and started arguing.

"I feel that these runes are pointing to the east. It seems like something there is calling me." Xiaohong's sensitive perception gave her an inexplicable intuition.

"Bullshit! It's clearly pointing to the west, stop talking nonsense!" Luo Xiaoyu's straightforward personality made her not buy it at all, and she retorted directly.

The two began to argue fiercely, their voices became louder and louder, and the situation became tense at one point.

"Enough!" The old man in white suddenly shouted in a low voice. His deep voice carried an unquestionable majesty, instantly suppressing the quarrel of the crowd.

He walked to the wall and looked at the runes carefully.

"These runes are not pointing in a single direction, but echoing each other, forming a complex formation." The old man in white said slowly, his voice carrying a soothing power.

"We need to follow a specific order to find the real exit." His words calmed down the arguing crowd and made them realize that their previous behavior was a bit reckless.

Everyone looked at the old man in white, waiting for his next instruction.

Suddenly, there was a muffled "bang" sound, Doctor Zhang's face turned pale, his body shook violently, and he fell straight to the ground.

Doctor Zhang groaned, his body swayed, his face instantly turned as pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

He covered his chest, bent over in pain, and finally fell to the ground weakly, unconscious.

The sudden change shocked everyone. The originally tense atmosphere froze in an instant, and an atmosphere of despair filled the air.

"Doctor Zhang!" Xiaohong exclaimed, threw herself to Doctor Zhang, tears welling up in her eyes.

With trembling hands, she sniffed Doctor Zhang's breath. The weak breath made her feel a little relieved, but also more worried.

Luo Xiaoyu was also panicked. His rough face was full of anxiety. He stood aside at a loss.

"His old injury has relapsed," Elder Chen squatted down and carefully examined Doctor Zhang's injuries with a frown on his face. "This place is cold and damp, which is not good for his injuries." His voice was low and solemn, making everyone's heart even heavier.

Xiaohong held Doctor Zhang's hand tightly and cried for God's blessing: "God, please bless Doctor Zhang, he is a good man, nothing can happen to him..." Her voice was choked, full of helplessness and despair.

At this moment, the surrounding walls suddenly began to shake, making a loud rumbling sound, and the ground began to shake violently, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

Everyone looked up in horror, and saw a group of warriors in black armor slowly walking out of the wall. They held sharp swords in their hands, with cold light flashing in their eyes, like messengers from hell.

"Oh no, it's the guardian!" The old man in white clothes' face changed and said in a deep voice.

The cane in his hand suddenly stopped, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

The man in white drew out his sword without hesitation. The sword made a clear dragon roar and the sword light flashed, illuminating his resolute face.

The green-shirted swordsman also drew his sword and stood side by side with the man in white, ready to fight.

The guardian's attack came like a storm, with swords and sabers flashing and making harsh metal collision sounds.

The man in white and the swordsman in green joined forces to resist. Their sword skills were exquisite and their cooperation was tacit. For a moment, they actually blocked the guardian's attack.

However, the guardians were numerous and powerful, their attacks became more and more fierce, and the crowd gradually felt overwhelmed.

"We can't go on like this, we will be exhausted to death!" Luo Xiaoyu shouted loudly, her face covered with sweat, and the blade of the dagger in her hand had been bent.

Suddenly, a guardian bypassed the man in white and the swordsman in green and headed straight for Xiaohong.

Seeing that Xiaohong was about to be chopped by the guardian's long sword, the man in white turned around suddenly and protected Xiaohong behind him...

"careful!"

The man in white swung his sword backhandedly, deflecting the blade that was slashing towards Xiaohong, and then hugged her tightly in his arms. His movements were gentle but carried unquestionable firmness.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." His deep voice was like a magic needle that instantly calmed the fear in Xiaohong's heart.

"We can't just passively take the beating like this anymore!" The man in white fixed his eyes and looked around, "Although these guardians are numerous, they are not invincible. Their attack patterns can be traced!" His tone was steady, instantly igniting everyone's hope.

Under the command of the man in white, everyone began to cooperate consciously.

Luo Xiaoyu used her brute force to contain the guardian's frontal attack, while Zhao the blacksmith swung the hammer in his hand and smashed it hard on the guardian's joints.

Li the Hunter bent his bow and drew his arrow, accurately shooting at the weak points of the Guardian's defense, each time taking away a piece of the Guardian's armor.

Elder Chen was observing the actions of the guardians from the side, reminding everyone to be careful on defense from time to time.

The gray-haired hunter shuttled across the battlefield like a ghost, occasionally launching sneak attacks from behind the guardians to disrupt their formation.

Master Lingyin was chanting scriptures on the side, blessing everyone and making them more motivated.

The battle gradually became fierce, and the cooperation between the people became more and more tacit, and for a moment they actually suppressed the guardian.

After a hard battle, everyone finally found the guardian's weakness.

Under the leadership of the man in white, everyone worked together and cooperated tacitly, like a rope, defeating the guardians one by one.

When the last guardian fell to the ground with a thud, everyone cheered excitedly, and the joy of victory washed over their tired bodies.

They high-fived each other, with proud smiles on their faces.

They realized how powerful the power of unity is. They are no longer fighting alone. They are a team, a team that can trust and rely on each other.

Granny Lin helped Doctor Zhang up, took out the ointment she carried with her and carefully applied it on his wound. Luo Xiaoyu also changed her rough look and became cautious, gently wiping the sweat from Doctor Zhang's forehead.

Xiaohong hugged the man in white's arm tightly, with a happy smile on her face.

Covering the entire space. (End of this chapter)
