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

Captain Lei laughed loudly, "What are you afraid of? It's just a cave. I've seen a lot of storms and waves! Let's go!"

"Wait!" Master Xing suddenly stopped them, "We're going in like this? What if there's danger inside? I think we should go in in batches so we can take care of each other." Miss Mo immediately retorted, "Enter in batches? Wouldn't that be a waste of time? It will be faster if we go in together!" "But..." Master Xing wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Miss Mo, "Don't say buts! You're so fussy, what a shame!" The two of them refused to give in to each other and were about to start quarreling.

Upon seeing this, Captain Lei stepped forward to smooth things over, "Alright, stop arguing! How about this, we split into two groups, one group goes in to explore the way, and the other group waits outside, how about that?" Everyone thought about it and felt that this plan was safer, so they all nodded in agreement.

Captain Lei waved his hand and said, "The man in white, Xiaohong and I will go in first to explore the way, and you wait at the entrance of the cave!
"After that, he took the lead and walked into the cave.

The man in white and Xiaohong followed closely behind and disappeared into the darkness.

Miss Mo and Master Xing stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the dark entrance. Miss Mo suddenly felt something strange, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in her heart...

"Wait!" she suddenly shouted.

It was pitch dark in the cave, and a pungent smell of mold and an unknown stench hit the face, making people feel nauseous.

Captain Lei lit a tinder, and the dim light barely illuminated a small area around him. The walls of the cave were covered with wet moss, and water droplets dripped down the stone walls, making a "tick-tick" sound. The sound was particularly clear in the silent cave, adding a bit of eeriness.

Soon, everyone felt dizzy and breathing became difficult.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Master Xing covered his chest and coughed violently, his face turning pale in an instant.

"It's poisonous!" The man in white's face changed and he immediately held his breath. At the same time, he took out a piece of cloth soaked in medicine from his arms and covered his mouth and nose.

Xiaohong and Lei Duzhu also hurriedly did as they were told.

"I... I can't breathe..." Master Xing's face turned blue, his steps staggered, and he was about to fall.

Although Miss Mo also felt a little uncomfortable, her situation was much better than that of Mr. Xing. She held Mr. Xing and asked anxiously, "How are you?" Mr. Xing's lips were purple and he couldn't say a word. He could only lean weakly on Miss Mo.

At this moment, a rustling sound came from the depths of the cave, and then countless pairs of green eyes lit up in the darkness, like ghost lights, which was creepy.

"Oh no! It's spiders!" Captain Lei exclaimed, and saw a group of giant spiders pouring out from the depths of the cave. They were covered with black hair, and their eight long legs moved quickly. Disgusting mucus dripped from their mouths.

The giant spider was extremely fast and approached everyone in the blink of an eye.

They spit out white spider silk, which quickly formed a huge web and trapped everyone inside.

The man in white swung his sword and cut off the attacking spider silk. The tip of the sword scratched through the spider's hard shell, making a "ding-dang-dang" sound.

Ms. Mo wielded her whip vigorously, lashing the approaching spider away.

"Ah!" Young Master Xing screamed, and a giant spider took advantage of his unpreparedness and bit his arm.

Master Xing was sweating profusely from the pain, his arm swelled up instantly, and black blood flowed from the wound.

The spider's attacks became more and more fierce, and the crowd gradually could not resist.

Master Lei was also entangled in spider silk and couldn't move.

"Xiaohong..." The man in white looked at Xiaohong anxiously while resisting the spider's attack.

Xiao Hong's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and suddenly, her eyes fell on the fire starter in Lei Duzhu's hand...

"fire……"

Xiaohong thought quickly and shouted, "Fire! They are afraid of fire!" She snatched the fire starter from Lei Duozhu's hand and set her clothes on fire.

The blazing flames instantly illuminated the entire cave, and also made Xiaohong's face red.

The giant spiders let out shrill hissing sounds and retreated, not daring to approach.

Seeing this, the man in white immediately swung his sword to cut the spider silk wrapped around Master Lei. Master Lei regained his freedom and looked at Xiaohong with gratitude.

With the help of the firelight, everyone fought back hard and drove back all the remaining spiders.

The cave was filled with a burning stench, but everyone's hearts were filled with joy at having survived the disaster.

"Xiaohong, you are so smart!" Ms. Mo praised sincerely.

Master Xing also nodded gratefully. If it weren’t for Xiaohong, he would probably have died in the spider’s mouth.

Xiaohong smiled slightly and looked at the man in white tenderly. The man in white held her hand tightly. They smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

After driving away the spiders, everyone regained their spirits and continued to go deeper into the cave.

After walking for a while, the cave suddenly became clear, and a huge cave appeared in front of everyone. The top of the cave was inlaid with countless sparkling gems, like stars in the night sky, dazzling.

"Treasure! We found the treasure!" Master Xing shouted excitedly and couldn't wait to rush forward.

"Wait!" The man in white grabbed him, "Be careful, there is a trap!" Sure enough, as Master Xing just took a step, a "cracking" sound came from the ground.

Everyone retreated quickly, only to see a huge trap on the ground. The bottom of the trap was full of sharp spikes, which was chilling.

"That was close!" Master Xing turned pale with fright and cold sweat broke out on his back.

With previous experience, everyone was extra careful this time.

The man in white carefully observed the surrounding environment and found a protruding stone on the wall. "Maybe this is the mechanism." He walked forward and pressed the stone hard.

"Boom..." After a loud noise, the trap slowly closed and the ground returned to calm.

Everyone successfully got the gems and was very happy.

Master Xing also became brave and took the initiative to help collect the scattered gems.

At this moment, a low roar came from deep in the cave...

"What's that sound?" The man in white's face changed and he tightened the sword in his hand.

The man in white held Xiaohong's hand tightly, and the strength of his fingertips seemed to convey the warmth to her heart.

Xiaohong returned the look with a gentleness that was full of deep affection.

The air around them seemed to become sweet. Miss Mo and Captain Lei coughed at the same time and looked away, but the corners of their mouths could not help but rise.

This experience of sharing life and death not only made the love between the man in white and Xiaohong stronger, but also made the friendship among everyone deeper.

Miss Mo patted Captain Lei on the shoulder and said with a heroic smile: "Old Lei, thanks to you this time!" Captain Lei laughed heartily, "No, no, if it weren't for your agility, Miss Mo, we would have become the spider's meal long ago!" Young Master Xing also came over and said gratefully: "Thank you everyone, if it weren't for you this time, I would have lost my life here!" He touched the wound on his arm, although it was still a little painful, but his heart was full of gratitude for surviving the disaster.

The crowd continued to move forward. The cave was winding and the stalactites on the walls were of various shapes and sizes. Under the light of the fire, it looked like a fantastic dream.

The air is filled with a damp scent mixed with the fragrance of earth, which is refreshing.

After walking for a long time, the view ahead suddenly opened up and a huge cave appeared in front of everyone.

In the center of the cave stands a huge stone door, which is engraved with mysterious runes and exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

The stone door was tightly closed, as if guarding some important secret.

Everyone held their breath and their hearts beat faster.

They knew that the treasure was behind this stone door.

However, how to open this stone door has become a huge problem.

The runes on the stone gate flickered with a faint light, as if silently mocking their ignorance.

Captain Lei stepped forward and pushed the stone door hard, but it didn't move at all.

"This door... is so heavy!" he said in surprise.

Ms. Mo wielded the whip and hit the stone door hard. There was a loud "clang" sound, and a shallow whip mark was left on the stone door, but there was still no sign of it opening.

Everyone fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere became solemn for a moment.

The flickering firelight illuminated everyone's solemn faces and the mysterious stone door.

"This rune... I seem to have seen it somewhere..." The man in white muttered to himself, frowning and thinking hard. Xiaohong gently held his hand and said softly, "Don't worry, think about it slowly."

Suddenly, the man in white raised his head sharply, "I remember it!"

"What?" everyone asked in unison.

The man in white pointed at the runes on the stone door and said excitedly: "These runes... are..." He suddenly stopped and stared at the stone door, as if he wanted to see through it.

"What is it?" everyone asked anxiously.

The man in white took a deep breath and said slowly: "It is the key to unlock the treasure..."

Everyone gathered in front of the huge stone gate, the firelight illuminating their focused expressions.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ancient and mysterious runes on the stone gate, as if those obscure lines contained endless wealth and secrets.

The rough stone surface bears traces of time, is uneven, and as hard as iron, making people feel that this is not a door, but an insurmountable high wall.

The stone gate exudes a cold chill, forming a sharp contrast with the scorching flames around it, further highlighting its mystery and heaviness.

Captain Lei stretched out his strong arm and pushed the stone door again. The dull sound echoed in the empty stone chamber.

The stone gate remained motionless, like an unshakable mountain, mocking their futility.

Even Ms. Mo, who has always hated evil, put away her whip. At this moment, her eyes were more solemn and less sharp than before.

Even Master Xing, who was usually timid, frowned, held his chin with one hand and gestured in the air with the other, as if he was trying hard to decipher the runes on the stone door.

"I think these runes should be touched in a specific order!" Lei Duzhu broke the silence. He pointed at several runes on the stone door and said firmly, "Look, the colors of these runes are obviously darker than the other runes. Maybe they are the key to unlocking the mechanism."

"No!" Miss Mo immediately retorted, "I think we should inject spiritual power into the runes!" She clenched the whip in her hand, and a faint spiritual power flowed around her body, "These runes are likely some kind of ancient magic array, which requires spiritual power to activate."

The two of them held their own opinions and neither was willing to give in. The argument became louder and louder, and the atmosphere became more tense.

The muscles on Captain Lei's face twitched slightly due to excitement, and Miss Mo's eyes became sharp, as if she was ready to teach the other party a lesson at any time.

The flickering firelight illuminated their flushed faces, making the atmosphere in the entire stone chamber so oppressive that it was suffocating.

"Everyone calm down first." Xiao Hong's voice was gentle but firm. She walked into the crowd and tried to ease the atmosphere. "I think we can combine the two methods." She pointed at the runes on the stone door and continued, "First, touch the runes in the order that Lei Duozhu said, and then Miss Mo will try to inject spiritual power. It may have unexpected results."

After hearing Xiaohong's proposal, everyone fell into a brief silence.

The man in white stretched out his hand and gently touched the runes on the stone door according to the arrangement of the runes in his memory.

"Now, inject spiritual power." The man in white said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the stone gate.

Ms. Mo took a deep breath and slowly injected a stream of pure spiritual power into the stone gate.

The moment the spiritual power came into contact with the rune, the stone gate suddenly made a slight "buzzing" sound, and then, in the astonished eyes of everyone, the stone gate began to vibrate.

Captain Lei widened his eyes and was about to say something, but he saw the man in white slowly raised one hand, with his index finger to his mouth, making a gesture of silence. Everyone immediately held their breath, quietly waiting for the next change.

The stone gate made a low roar, and a strong air wave suddenly burst out, like a hurricane passing through, knocking the nearest Captain Lei and Miss Mo to the ground.

Captain Lei groaned and felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he was hit by a huge rock, and a fishy-sweet taste surged in his throat.

Ms. Mo was shocked so much that her palms went numb and the whip in her hand almost slipped out of her hand.

The others were not much better off. They were all knocked to the ground and unable to stand steadily due to the sudden force.

Master Xing was knocked to the ground, with blood oozing out from the corner of his mouth, staining his clothes red.

He was pale, holding his chest and groaning in pain. Seeing this, Xiaohong hurried to Master Xing, supported him, and asked anxiously: "Master Xing, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?" Master Xing shook his head weakly, but could not speak.

Just when everyone was still in shock, the stone door slowly opened, and a faint green light shone through the gap. A cold breath spread out, making people feel creepy.

Through the crack in the door, several blurry figures could be vaguely seen, holding weapons and emitting a spooky ghostly aura.

"It's a ghost warrior!" Leader Lei struggled to stand up and exclaimed.

Before he finished speaking, several ghost warriors rushed out from the stone gate, waving their weapons and launching a fierce attack on everyone.

Miss Mo was the first to react, waving her whip and fighting with the ghost warrior.

The long whip danced like a snake, bringing up gusts of wind and forcing the ghost warriors back.

Leader Lei also endured the pain in his chest, waved his fists, and joined the battle.

His boxing style was fierce and domineering, and each punch carried the force of thunder. He collided head-on with the ghost warrior, making a deafening sound.

However, the ghost warriors were numerous and their attacks were fierce. Gradually, the crowd could not resist and were defeated.

Xiaohong protected Master Xing and avoided the attacks of the ghost warriors, but the situation was still dangerous.

The man in white was fending off the ghost warriors' attacks while observing their actions with a frown on his face.

"Their attacks... seem to... always avoid the runes on the stone door!" The man in white suddenly realized this, "Everyone, pay attention to their attack trajectory! While avoiding them, try to get as close to the runes on the stone door as possible!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood what the man in white meant.

They began to consciously guide the ghost warriors' attack direction, using the runes on the stone gate as cover, avoiding attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Miss Mo's whip deftly bypassed the runes, leaving streaks of blood on the ghost warrior's body.

Leader Lei seized the opportunity and punched a ghost warrior in the chest, knocking him away.

Although the ghost warrior's attack was fierce, it was still unable to break through the rune's defense.

Gradually, their offensive began to weaken and their movements became slower.

The man in white seized this opportunity and shouted, "Now! Attack with all your strength!"

Everyone worked together and released all the spiritual power that had been accumulated for a long time, turning it into fierce attacks that smashed hard into the ghost warrior.

The ghost warrior let out a shrill scream, turned into black mist, and dissipated into the air.

"We won!" Captain Lei waved his fist excitedly, and the pain in his chest seemed to be relieved a lot.

Everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory, and they looked at the man in white with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

"Thanks to the command of the brothers in white, we were able to escape danger." Ms. Mo said sincerely.

The man in white smiled slightly and shook his head modestly: "It's everyone's credit." He turned around and looked at the stone door again, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, "Now, let's continue to open this door!"

Everyone gathered in front of the stone gate again and followed the previous steps, touching the runes and injecting spiritual power.

This time, the stone door did not make any roaring sounds. Instead, it slowly opened inward. Golden light poured out from the crack in the door, illuminating the entire stone chamber.

The stone door opened completely, revealing the magnificent treasure behind it.

Countless gold, silver and jewels piled up like mountains, sparkling with dazzling light, dazzling the eyes.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, as if they were in a dream.

"Oh my god..." Master Xing was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, his voice trembling, "So many treasures..."

"We... succeeded!" Xiaohong held the white-clothed man's hand tightly, with happiness shining in her eyes.

Everyone cheered and immersed in the joy of success.

Captain Lei laughed loudly, his voice was deafening, as if he wanted to release all the depression.

"This is just the beginning..." The man in white looked at the treasure in front of him with a mysterious smile on his face.

The glittering gold, the glittering jewels, the mountains of treasures are so dazzling that one can hardly open one’s eyes. (End of this chapter)
