"It's here!" Su Ting struck with all his might, forcing the monster back a few steps, and quickly rushed into the new passage. The stone door slowly closed behind him, isolating the terrifying monster.

"Did we succeed?" Leah asked breathlessly.

“For now, yes.” Su Ting took a deep breath, his gaze fixed resolutely ahead. “But we must continue moving forward.”

“This road does indeed seem to lead to the outside world.” Lena looked at the map, her eyes filled with hope.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Kevin said impatiently.

"Okay, everyone follow me." Lena took the lead again, holding a map, and led everyone to continue along the new passage.

Supporting each other in the darkness, the group resolutely moved towards the light. They knew that this adventure had only just begun, and many more challenges awaited them.

"No matter how many dangers lie ahead, we will not back down," Su Ting said firmly, his gaze resolute.

“Yes, we will keep going,” Lena replied, her voice filled with determination.

In the narrow new passage, the group moved forward silently, with only the occasional sound of dripping water and their footsteps echoing in the darkness. Su Ting walked at the front, his dagger still tightly gripped in his hand, vigilantly watching his surroundings.

"This passage seems to be getting narrower and narrower." Lia's voice carried a hint of unease as she followed closely behind Lena, her hands constantly touching the wall to prevent herself from falling.

"Everyone be careful, the road might be difficult to navigate," Lena warned, while carefully comparing her map with the map in her hand.

Kevin and Feng exchanged a glance, sharing a resolute look. They were used to this kind of journey filled with unknowns and dangers, but the tension in their hearts still lingered.

"There's something strange here." Su Ting suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "It feels like something is approaching."

Everyone immediately became alert, holding their breath and listening intently to the sounds around them. At that moment, a faint whistling sound came from ahead, accompanied by a chill.

"Is that... the sound of the wind?" Feng asked doubtfully, gripping his weapon tightly and staring intently ahead.

“No, it sounds more like the sound of some kind of creature,” Su Ting said in a deep voice, his eyes sharpening as if they could pierce through the darkness.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared ahead, seemingly coming from a crack. The group immediately huddled together and cautiously approached the source of the light.

“There’s a small opening over there!” Leah said, pointing ahead, her voice trembling slightly.

Chapter 906 Let's go in and take a look

Su Ting stepped forward and peered out through the crack. "It's a small cave, and it looks like it was formed naturally."

“Let’s go in and take a look,” Lena suggested. “Maybe we can find some clues.”

One by one, the group passed through the cave entrance and entered a slightly more spacious area. The ground was damp, and the air was filled with the smell of damp earth.

“There are footprints here,” Su Ting said, pointing to some marks on the ground. “It seems someone has been here before.”

“Perhaps it was left behind by other explorers?” Kevin asked, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

“They could also be enemies,” Lena said cautiously, frowning.

Just then, a deep, hoarse voice suddenly rang out: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Everyone immediately went on alert, drawing their weapons. Su Ting quickly stepped to the front and shouted, "Who are you? Show yourself!"

With a low growl, a tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness. The man wore tattered leather armor, his face was covered in scars, and his eyes were fierce.

“I am the guardian of this place,” the man said coldly. “Outsiders are not allowed to enter this area.”

“We mean no offense, we’re just passing by,” Su Ting replied calmly. “We need to find a way to the outside world.”

"The outside world?" A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes. "You came from the underground city?"

“That’s right.” Lena stepped forward and showed the map in her hand. “This is our map, and it marks the roads leading to the outside world.”

The man's gaze lingered on the map, his brow furrowed. "I haven't seen a map like this in a long time. Alright, I can help you, but on the condition that you do something for me."

"What is it?" Su Ting asked, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

“I need you to help me find an ancient artifact, which is located in a ruin deep within this area,” the man said slowly. “This artifact is very important to me.”

"Why don't you go get it yourself?" Kevin asked.

The man was silent for a moment, then said, "Because I was seriously injured and have difficulty moving. Moreover, there are dangers there, and it's difficult for ordinary people to come back alive."

“Alright, we’re willing to help you,” Su Ting said after some consideration, “but we need your guidance.”

The man nodded, a look of gratitude on his face. "Very good, come with me."

The group followed the guardian as they traversed a complex network of tunnels. Along the way, the man briefly introduced himself, saying his name was Aiden, and that he had once been a powerful warrior who had been defeated in battle and imprisoned here for years.

Finally, they arrived at a huge stone gate, which was covered with ancient runes.

“This is the entrance,” Aiden said. “Open this door, and inside lies the ruins we’re looking for.”

Su Ting stepped forward and carefully examined the runes. "These runes are ancient, but they seem to conceal the mechanism to open the door."

"Quick, try to open it," Lena urged.

Su Ting took a deep breath and began to touch the runes one by one. As time passed, more and more sweat beaded on his forehead, but the door remained unmoved.

"No, I can't find the right combination," Su Ting said, shaking his head helplessly.

Chapter 907 We Know

“Let me try.” Lena stepped forward, carefully examining the runes before rapidly touching different spots. A moment later, a click was heard, and the stone door slowly opened.

"We did it!" Leah shouted excitedly.

The group entered through the stone gate and arrived at a huge underground palace. In the center of the palace was an altar, emitting a mysterious light.

“The relics are on the altar,” Aiden said, “but be careful, there are many traps here.”

“We understand,” Su Ting replied. “We will proceed with caution.”

The group cautiously approached the altar when suddenly, the sound of mechanisms being activated came from all directions, and rows of sharp arrows appeared on the walls.

"Watch out, a trap!" Su Ting shouted.

Just then, a violent tremor struck, and the entire palace seemed about to collapse. Su Ting reacted quickly, rushing to the altar, grabbing the relics, and then retreating swiftly.

"Run!" he shouted.

The group ran towards the exit, arrows and rocks raining down from all sides. Finally, after a difficult escape from the palace, they saw a glimmer of light.

“We’re all safe!” Leah said breathlessly.

“But this is not the end.” Su Ting looked at the relics in his hand and said with a firm gaze, “We still have a lot to do.”

“Yes, we still have many adventures waiting for us,” Lena agreed.

They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination. They knew that many more challenges awaited them ahead.

"No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will not give up," Su Ting said firmly.

“Yes, let’s walk together.” Lena smiled.

So, led by Aiden, they continued along the new path, their hearts filled with boundless hope and courage for the future.

Aiden led the group through a narrow tunnel. The cave walls were covered with moss and vines, and the sound of dripping water could be heard from time to time. Su Ting walked at the front, cautiously observing the surroundings, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

“There are many dangers lurking in this area, so you must always be vigilant,” Aiden said in a low voice.

“We’ll be careful,” Lena replied. “We’ve been through quite a few dangers already.”

“I know you are brave explorers,” Aiden smiled slightly, “but the dangers here are far beyond your imagination.”

They continued on and finally came to a relatively spacious cave. In the center of the cave was a dried-up well, with some broken stones scattered around it.

“This place was once part of an ancient civilization,” Aiden explained. “Now it’s just ruins.”

“So, where is the relic we’re looking for?” Kevin asked.

Aiden pointed to a stone slab in the center of the well: "It's right there. But to get in, we have to get past these obstacles first."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared on the stone slab, from which a faint light shone. At the same time, several figures emerged from the darkness, holding sharp weapons and their eyes filled with hostility.

"Another uninvited guest?" one of the figures sneered. "This is our territory. You'd better leave quietly."

“We’re just passing through,” Su Ting said in a deep voice. “We don’t want to cause trouble.”

"Hmph, you have something important on you." The leader narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on the relic in Su Ting's hand. "Hand it over, and we might let you go."

Chapter 908 Don't blame us.

“That’s impossible.” Lena stood firmly beside Su Ting. “This relic is crucial to our mission.”

"Then don't blame us!" The man brandished his knife and charged at the group. The remaining enemies also surrounded them.

The battle erupted instantly. Su Ting swiftly drew his longsword and engaged in fierce combat with an enemy. His swordsmanship was skillful, each move precise, leaving his opponent breathless and overwhelmed.

"Your swordsmanship is not bad!" the enemy said breathlessly, "but I won't be defeated so easily!"

"Then let's see who's stronger!" Su Ting shouted coldly, swinging his sword at his opponent.

Lena, not to be outdone, nimbly dodged the enemy's attacks while searching for an opportunity to counterattack. Wielding a short dagger, she moved nimbly among the enemies, each strike precise and deadly.

"You're too much trouble, woman!" one of the enemies roared. "I'm going to kill you!"

"Give it a try!" Lena smiled contemptuously, then suddenly pushed off the ground and rushed towards the enemy like lightning, her short dagger flashing in the night.

Kevin and Leah joined the battle, and under the guidance of Sutin and Lena, they worked together seamlessly, defeating the enemies one by one. Finally, after a fierce battle, they defeated the unidentified intruders.
