As the powerful aura grew stronger, Jiang Qiong tightly gripped the sword in his hand, staring intently at the huge figure that slowly emerged from the darkness.

When the shadow became clear, the scene before him shocked him. The shadow was surrounded by a thick black light, which was like materialized darkness, surging and roaring, as if telling of endless resentment.

His body is extremely tall, more than twice as tall as an ordinary person, and his muscles are like steel, and every muscle seems to contain the power to destroy the world.

The head is like a huge black stone with mysterious lines engraved on the surface. These lines flash an eerie dark red light in the darkness, like burning devil's flames, adding a bit of hideousness and terror to it.

The black shadow's eyes were like deep black holes, dark and cold, as if they could suck a person's soul into them.

Its mouth was extremely wide, with the corners of its mouth slightly raised, revealing two rows of sharp fangs that glowed with cold light, as if they could easily tear apart anything that stood in its way.

His hands were huge and strong, and his fingers were like sharp claws. The fingertips flashed with a black light, as if he could tear a hole in the space with just a slight scratch.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my territory!" The black shadow roared in a low voice again. The sound was like rolling thunder, vibrating back and forth in this narrow space, causing Jiang Qiong's eardrums to hurt, and her heart seemed to be grasped tightly by an invisible big hand.

Jiang Qiong took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said, "We just happened to pass by here. We entered this ruins by mistake due to an avalanche. We have no intention of offending you. We hope that you will show us mercy and let us go."

The shadow sneered harshly, his voice full of disdain and murderous intent: "Just passing by? Humph, this ruins is not a place where you can come and go as you please. Everything here belongs to me, and you intruders must die!"

After saying that, the black shadow violently swung its huge arm, and a black light came out like a sharp blade, accompanied by a whistling wind, and attacked Jiang Qiong and the other two rapidly.

Jiang Qiong's face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly pulled Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue to hide aside.

The black light brushed against the corners of their clothes, leaving a deep gully on the ground, and the surrounding stones were instantly crushed into powder. "It seems that we can't leave today without a fight."

Jiang Qiong gritted his teeth and said solemnly. Nan Fengxue clenched the dagger in his hand, with a determined light flashing in his eyes: "Then let's fight!"

Lang Nana also raised her magic weapon, which was glowing with light. The ice-blue light was particularly dazzling in the darkness, and she was ready to attack at any time.

Seeing that they refused to surrender, the black shadow roared again, then flashed and rushed towards Jiang Qiong like a black lightning.

Jiang Qiong quickly raised his sword to block, but there was a loud "clang" sound, like the ringing of a huge bell. Jiang Qiong felt an overwhelming force rushing towards him. His arm became numb instantly, and he was shocked back several steps, leaving several deep footprints on the ground.

"What a powerful force!" Jiang Qiong secretly exclaimed in his heart, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

At this moment, Jiang Qiong knew that he could not continue to passively take the beating, so he decided to use his trump card.

He was seen muttering something and quickly forming seals with his hands. As rays of spiritual energy flew out from his hands, the surrounding space began to fluctuate violently.

Then, spirit puppets slowly emerged from the light. These spirit puppets were condensed from pure spiritual energy and exuded a powerful aura.

They look similar to humans, but are taller and more powerful, each one is more than ten feet tall.

The surface of the spirit puppet's body sparkled with crystal light. It was as hard as crystal, yet exuded a lively aura.

Their eyes sparkle with a light blue light, as if they contain wisdom.

As soon as these spirit puppets appeared, they quickly surrounded Jiang Qiong and assumed a fighting stance.

At Jiang Qiong's command, the spirit puppets immediately rushed towards the black shadow.

Their movements were in perfect unison, and every attack was accompanied by a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy. The wind from their fists whistled as if they were going to tear apart the air around them.

At the same time, Nan Fengxue also took out his magic weapon - an ancient giant tripod.

This giant tripod is pitch black all over, with mysterious runes engraved on its surface, exuding a heavy and ancient atmosphere.

Under Nan Fengxue's control, the giant tripod slowly floated in the air, constantly rotating and emitting circles of black light.

Nan Fengxue muttered something to himself, and his hands kept changing spells. As he moved, the light of the giant tripod became brighter and brighter, and the space around it began to distort.

Suddenly, Nan Fengxue shouted loudly, and the giant tripod flew towards the black shadow at a speed as fast as lightning, making a sharp whistling sound.

The black shadow felt the threat from the spirit puppet and the giant cauldron. It let out an angry roar, and the black light on its body suddenly surged.

It waved its huge arms and engaged in a fierce battle with the spirit puppets.

Every collision made a deafening sound, and the powerful force fluctuations caused the surrounding ground to begin to crack.

During the fierce battle, Jiang Qiong discovered that although the black shadow was powerful, its movements began to become slow when facing the siege of the spirit puppets.

He seized the opportunity and displayed his best sword skills.

I saw his figure flash, and he shuttled through the battlefield like a ghost. As he swung his sword, a cold light flashed, and sword energy shot towards the black shadow like sharp blades.

The black shadow quickly waved its arms to block, and the sword energy hit its arms, making a "ding-dang-dang" sound and sparks flying.

But the black shadow's arm was also cut by the sword energy, and black blood flowed out from the wounds, dripping onto the ground, instantly corroding small pits.

Lang Nana was not idle either. She continued to cast spells in the rear to provide support for Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue.

The staff in her hand shone brightly, and ice-blue spells floated towards the shadow like snowflakes.

Once these spells come into contact with the black shadow, the air around it will instantly freeze, forming pieces of ice mist, making the black shadow's movements slower.

Nan Fengxue controlled the giant tripod, constantly looking for flaws in the black shadow. He and Jiang Qiong worked well together, and whenever Jiang Qiong attracted the black shadow's attention, Nan Fengxue would immediately control the giant tripod to attack.

The huge tripod sometimes fell from above and sometimes hit from the side, making it impossible for the black shadow to defend itself.

Under the combined attack of the three, the black shadow gradually fell into trouble.

Its body was covered with scars, and the black light was becoming dimmer and dimmer.

But it still did not give up resistance, and let out shrill roars, trying to make a final struggle.

Finally, in a fierce confrontation, Jiang Qiong used his strongest move.

He poured all his spiritual power into the sword, and the sword instantly glowed brightly, like a scorching sun.

He shouted loudly and swung his sword forward violently. A dazzling sword light with the power to destroy the world slashed directly at the chest of the black shadow.

At the same time, Nan Fengxue also controlled the giant tripod and rushed towards the black shadow at the fastest speed.

The giant tripod hit the black shadow with great force.

With a loud bang, the black shadow's body was instantly hit by the sword light and the giant tripod. It let out a scream and its body began to tremble violently.

Under the impact of the powerful force, the black shadow's body gradually collapsed and the black light dissipated.

Finally, the black shadow fell to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust. The three of them looked at the fallen black shadow and breathed a sigh of relief. They collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

Although the battle was difficult, they finally defeated the powerful opponent with their tenacious will and tacit cooperation.

"it is finally over."

Lang Nana said tiredly, but a relieved smile appeared on her face.

Jiang Qiong stood up, looked at the mess around him, and said, "We have to leave here quickly. There is no telling how many dangers there are in this ruins. We can't stay here any longer."

Nan Fengxue nodded, and the three of them packed their bags and prepared to leave this dangerous place.

However, just as they turned around, they suddenly found that the walls around them began to shake violently...

The three of them looked at the shaking walls around them, and a sense of foreboding welled up in their hearts.

Jiang Qiong frowned and said anxiously: "Oh no, this ruins is about to collapse, we have to get out quickly!"

As he spoke, he forced himself to run towards the entrance despite his tired body. Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue did not dare to delay and followed closely behind him.

They ran desperately in the dim passage, and from time to time they could hear the roar of huge rocks collapsing behind them.

Stones from the wall kept falling, hitting the ground and splashing up clouds of dust.

Jiang Qiong ran while paying attention to the surrounding situation. Suddenly, he found that the passage ahead was blocked by a huge fallen rock.

"What should we do?" Lang Nana asked anxiously.

Nan Fengxue quickly looked around and found a narrow gap next to him that was barely big enough for one person to pass through.

He shouted, "Maybe we can get out by going this way!"

The three of them did not hesitate and went into the gap one by one. The gap was dark and damp, and filled with a foul smell.

They moved forward with difficulty, and their bodies were cut by sharp rocks from time to time.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally emerged from the other side of the gap.

However, the scene before them stunned them.

This is a huge circular space. The walls around it are engraved with more complex and mysterious patterns. These patterns flicker strangely in the dim light.

In the center of the space stood a huge stone pillar. On the stone pillar was inlaid a gem emitting colorful light, and around the gem was a circle of flowing runes that seemed to be telling ancient secrets.

Jiang Qiong walked forward and carefully observed the stone pillar and the gem. He felt vaguely that this gem contained a powerful force, which might be closely related to the secret of this relic.

Just as he was about to reach out and touch the gem, Nan Fengxue suddenly shouted, "Be careful, there is danger!"

The ground around the stone pillar began to slowly crack, and huge tentacles stretched out from the cracks.

The surface of these tentacles is covered with suction cups, which flash a strange red light and emit a disgusting smell.

The tentacles quickly attacked the three people, and Jiang Qiong hurriedly swung his sword and slashed at the nearest tentacle.

However, the tentacles were extremely tough, and the sword only left a shallow mark on them.

Seeing this, Lang Nana immediately cast a spell, and rays of ice-blue light shot towards the tentacles.

After the tentacle was hit by the spell, a thick layer of ice formed on its surface, but it soon broke free from the ice with its powerful strength.

Nan Fengxue controlled the giant tripod and smashed it towards the tentacles.

The giant cauldron smashed one of the tentacle with such great force that it twisted and deformed it, but the other tentacles took the opportunity to wrap around the giant cauldron and tried to drag it underground.

During the fierce battle, the three gradually discovered that these tentacles seemed to be controlled by some power of the gem.

If we can destroy the connection between the gem and the tentacles, we may be able to defeat them.

Jiang Qiong told her companions about her idea, and Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue nodded in agreement.

So, Jiang Qiong was responsible for attracting the tentacles' attention, while Lang Nana cast spells to interfere with the tentacles' actions. Nan Fengxue took the opportunity to approach the stone pillar and look for ways to destroy the gem.

Jiang Qiong brandished his sword and engaged in a fierce battle with the tentacles. His swordsmanship was exquisite, but he seemed to be struggling under the siege of the tentacles.

Lang Nana continued to cast spells, and the ice-blue light flickered in the darkness, giving Jiang Qiong some breathing space.

Nan Fengxue approached the stone pillar cautiously. He carefully observed the runes around the gem, trying to find a way to crack it.

After some research, he found that the arrangement of the runes seemed to follow a certain pattern.

Nan Fengxue concentrated his mind and began to touch the runes with his spiritual power according to his own inferences.

As he moved, the light of the rune began to flicker and change, and the connection between the gem and the tentacle seemed to become unstable.

The tentacles sensed the danger and began to attack Nan Fengxue frantically.

Seeing this, Jiang Qiong and Lang Nana immediately increased the intensity of their attack to buy time for Nan Fengxue.

With the efforts of the three people, Nan Fengxue finally succeeded in cracking the secret of the rune.

There was a loud bang, and the gems on the stone pillars suddenly exploded, emitting a dazzling light. The tentacles instantly lost their power and retracted into the ground.

As the gem exploded, the entire space began to shake violently.

Jiang Qiong knew that he couldn't stay here for long. He quickly called his companions and ran towards the exit of the space.

The three of them ran hard in the crumbling ruins and finally rushed out of the ruins at the last moment.

As soon as they came out, the ruins behind them collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.

Looking at the ruins in front of them, the three of them felt a mixture of emotion.

This trip to the ruins was full of dangers and challenges, but they also gained many precious treasures and valuable combat experience.

Jiang Qiong looked at the storage bag full of treasures in his hand and said, "This harvest is enough for us to improve our strength. After we return, we must practice in seclusion."

Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue nodded. They knew that in this world where the strong are respected, only by constantly improving their own strength can they go further on the road to the future. (End of this chapter)
