Chapter 111 Ancient Legends.
Jun Luochuan and Su Yao struggled to find the exit of the ruins in the cave, which was like an endless maze. The atmosphere became increasingly heavy, like lead weights, making it almost impossible to breathe.
"This cave is so intricate, like a huge maze that makes us dizzy. We walk around and around, but it feels like we're going in circles. We just can't find that damn exit." Su Yao muttered, her small face full of fatigue and anxiety, like a flower that had been hit by frost, losing its former beauty and vitality.
Jun Luochuan frowned, his brows furrowed like two tightly twisted ropes, his gaze as firm as an arrow piercing the darkness, staring straight ahead. "Stop complaining. Concentrate and focus on finding the way." His voice was deep and serious, as if it came from the depths of a valley.
They continued to grope their way forward in the eerie darkness, the deathly silence all around them like an invisible net, tightly binding their minds and sending chills down their spines.
Suddenly, a faint, ethereal sound rose quietly in the silence, as if it were a mournful whisper coming from the distant depths of the underworld.
Su Yao was so frightened that she grabbed Jun Luochuan's arm tightly, as if she wanted to break it. "What is that sound? Could it be a creepy ghost?" Her voice trembled like a withered leaf in the wind, filled with undisguised fear.
Jun Luochuan gently patted her hand, trying to offer her some comfort, "Don't scare yourself, maybe it's just the eerie wind in this valley playing tricks on us." However, a ripple of emotion also stirred within him.
However, the mysterious voice did not disappear; instead, it became clearer and clearer, as if an ancient storyteller was slowly recounting a story that had been sealed away by time.
They found themselves drawn in by the sound, as if pulled by invisible threads. Finally, in a secluded corner, they discovered a stone chamber shrouded in darkness.
As you cautiously enter the stone chamber, an ancient atmosphere that seems to instantly transport you back to prehistoric times washes over you.
"What kind of place is this? It feels full of mystery and the unknown." Su Yao looked around curiously, her big eyes sparkling with curiosity in the darkness, like stars twinkling in the night sky.
Just then, the voice became clearer than ever before. It turned out to be an ancient legend about the Valley of the Netherworld.
Legend has it that the Netherworld Valley was once a sacred cultivation ground for an ancient immortal. This immortal, possessing boundless magical power and extraordinary abilities, devoted himself to cultivation here, attempting to unravel the ultimate mysteries of heaven and earth. However, his cultivation ground attracted countless greedy eyes, especially drawn by a peerless magical treasure, which drove many to madness. This treasure possessed world-destroying power, seemingly containing the core secrets of the universe. But this peerless treasure was also coveted by an extremely evil force, who, like a pack of hungry wolves, eyed it with predatory intent. Thus, an earth-shattering, awe-inspiring battle erupted. The scene of the battle was as if stars were falling, mountains and rivers were shattered, and the very heavens and earth changed color. In the end, the immortal, at the cost of his precious life, cast a world-shaking sealing spell, deeply sealing the peerless treasure within this valley, and simultaneously trapping the evil force forever in this dark and sunless place, preventing them from ever again wreaking havoc on the world.
Su Yao listened with rapt attention, as if her very soul had been drawn to the ancient legend. "Is the mysterious letter we found related to this legend? Could it be the key to unlocking the magic weapon's seal?" Her eyes were filled with anticipation and curiosity, as if she could already see the radiant magic weapon right before her eyes.
Jun Luochuan pondered for a moment, his expression like that of a profound sage contemplating the ultimate mystery of the universe. "Perhaps there are countless connections between them. Maybe this letter really is the key to unlocking the seal on the magical artifact. But the dangers involved are probably beyond our imagination, like a bottomless black hole that could swallow us up at any moment."
Su Yao's eyes lit up instantly, like two dazzling gems. "Then we're going to become incredibly wealthy! With that magic treasure, we can have a smooth path to immortality, and no one will be able to defeat us!"
Jun Luochuan rolled his eyes at her, his gaze as cold as frost. "Don't just think about the benefits. There's no such thing as an easy life. The dangers hidden behind this are perhaps too heavy for us to bear. If we're not careful, we'll be doomed and fall into an endless abyss of darkness."
Just as they were about to delve deeper into the secrets of this mysterious stone chamber, it suddenly began to shake violently, as if a sleeping beast had been awakened and was roaring angrily.
"Oh no, let's go!" Jun Luochuan shouted, his voice booming like thunder. Without hesitation, he grabbed Su Yao's hand and ran towards the exit.
Along the way, rocks fell like a torrential rain, as if the entire cave would collapse in an instant, turning into ruins. Each falling rock was like a messenger of death, approaching them.
They ran desperately, their feet barely touching the ground, moving with lightning speed. The sounds of their heartbeats, breaths, and footsteps mingled together, creating a symphony of despair and hope.
Finally, at the critical moment before the cave completely collapsed, they escaped like two birds breaking free from their cage...
