Chapter 1577
Huo Jilin said: "But if there is a treasure, it would be good to help more people.
Or, let's investigate the situation of that mountain first?"
Everyone thought this idea was feasible, so they decided to find out first.
They came to the mountain outside the city and found that the mountain was steep and foggy.
"It does look complicated." Hu Bayi said.
Just then, a hunter came down from the mountain.
Huo Jilin hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Brother, do you know the ruins on this mountain?"
The hunter's face changed: "That's not a good place. It is said that no one who went in came out alive."
Wang Kaixuan was shocked: "So scary?"
The hunter continued: "And there are often wild beasts on the mountain, which is very dangerous."
After the hunter left, the four people felt even more depressed.
"Why don't we just forget it?" Wang Kaixuan backed out.
Huo Jilin said: "Since we are here, let's take a look."
They continued to walk up the mountain and suddenly heard a roar.
"Oh no, it's a beast!" Lin Zhou shouted.
A huge white tiger rushed out of the woods, baring its fangs and claws.
"Don't be afraid, let's go together!" Huo Jilin shouted.
The four of them fought fiercely with the white tiger.
"Oh, this guy is too powerful!" Wang Kaixuan shouted.
Hu Bayi said: "Focus on attacking its weaknesses!"
After a hard fight, they finally drove away the white tiger.
"It's so dangerous before we even reach the ruins, and we don't know what's inside." Wang Kaixuan said with a heavy breath.
Huo Jilin said: "The more this is the case, the more it shows that this ruins is not simple."
Just then, they found a cave with some strange symbols engraved on the entrance.
"Could this be the entrance to the ruins?" Lin Zhou said.
Hu Bayi said, "It's possible, but it could also be another dangerous trap."
Wang Kaixuan said, "Who cares? Let's go in and take a look!"
Huo Jilin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, be careful."
They walked into the cave, which was filled with a pungent smell.
"What's that smell?" Wang Kaixuan covered his nose.
Suddenly, the torches on the cave wall lit up automatically, illuminating the entire cave.
"Be careful!" Hu Bayi shouted.
A group of bats flew towards them.
"Ah!" Wang Kaixuan ran away in fear.
"Don't panic, use something to drive them away!" Huo Jilin shouted.
Everyone waved their weapons and finally drove away the bats.
Continuing forward, they came to a huge stone chamber.
"There seems to be something in here." Lin Zhou said.
Suddenly, a huge stone man stood up from the ground.
"What kind of monster is this?" Wang Kaixuan exclaimed.
The stone man waved his huge fist and hit them.
"Get out of the way!" Huo Jilin shouted.
The four of them dodged around, looking for the flaws of the stone man.
"Attack its joints!" Hu Bayi shouted.
After some effort, they finally defeated the stone man.
"This is too difficult." Wang Kaixuan was so tired that he sat on the ground.
At this moment, some words appeared on the wall of the stone room.
"This seems to be a secret about the ruins." Lin Zhou said.
Huo Jilin looked at the words carefully, and his face became solemn.
"What's wrong?" Hu Bayi asked.
Huo Jilin said, "It says here that there is a powerful curse in the ruins.
Unless we find a way to lift the curse, no one can get out alive."
Everyone's heart sank when they heard this...
Wang Kaixuan was the first to break the silence. He said in a trembling voice, "What should we do? Are we just going to die here?"
Hu Bayi frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Since we are here, we should make the best of it.
Let's first look for clues about lifting the curse."
Lin Zhou nodded, "That's the only way. Let's look carefully."
So, the four of them began to look for clues in the stone chamber.
"There seems to be a pattern here." Huo Jilin pointed to a wall and said.
Everyone gathered around and saw a complex pattern engraved on the wall, which seemed to hide some deep meaning.
"This pattern looks a bit strange, like some kind of code." Hu Bayi said, touching his chin.
Wang Kaixuan said anxiously: "Can we solve it?"
Lin Zhou carefully observed the pattern and said: "Don't worry, let's think of a solution together."
Just when everyone was thinking hard, Huo Jilin suddenly said: "I think I have some ideas.
Look, does the direction of the lines of this pattern have similarities with the symbols we encountered before?"
Hu Bayi's eyes lit up: "It makes sense, maybe there is some connection between them."
After some research and attempts, they finally solved the mystery of the pattern.Secret.
"Boom boom", a dull sound came, and a secret door appeared on one side of the stone chamber.
"Let's go in and take a look." Huo Jilin led the way into the secret door.
Behind the secret door was a narrow passage, filled with a foul smell.
"This smell is too bad." Wang Kaixuan couldn't help complaining.
"Be careful, I don't know what is waiting for us." Lin Zhou reminded.
They walked forward cautiously, and suddenly heard a gloomy laugh.
"Hahaha..."
"Who?" Hu Bayi shouted vigilantly.
"You can't escape, the curse will keep you here forever." The voice echoed in the passage.
Wang Kaixuan was so scared that his face turned pale: "This, is this a human or a ghost?"
Huo Jilin said: "Don't worry about him, keep going."
As they walked, the passage became wider, and a huge sarcophagus appeared in front.
"This sarcophagus looks very strange." Lin Zhou said.
Hu Bayi said, "Maybe the key to lifting the curse is in this sarcophagus."
Wang Kaixuan swallowed his saliva: "Well, let's open it and see?"
Huo Jilin took a deep breath: "Okay, everyone get ready."
When they slowly pushed open the lid of the sarcophagus, a powerful force rushed over.
"Not good!" Huo Jilin shouted.
I saw a black shadow rushing out of the sarcophagus and disappearing into the darkness in an instant.
"What is that?" Wang Kaixuan asked in horror.
Huo Jilin shook his head: "I don't know, but I don't think it's a good thing."
Just then, the surrounding walls began to ooze black liquid.
"What the hell is this?" Wang Kaixuan stepped back in fear.
Hu Bayi said: "Don't panic, let's see if this liquid is dangerous first."
They dipped a little liquid with their weapons and found that the liquid was highly corrosive.
"We have to find a way to leave here quickly." Lin Zhou said.
The four began to look for an exit in the room filled with black liquid.
"There seems to be a passage here." Huo Jilin pointed to a corner and said.
They ran towards the passage, but found that it was blocked by a stone door.
"Damn, how can we open it?" Wang Kaixuan pushed the stone door hard.
Hu Bayi observed the surroundings of the stone door and said, "Let's look for any mechanisms."
After searching for a while, Lin Zhou found a protruding stone.
"Try this." Lin Zhou pressed the stone.
The stone door slowly rose, and they hurried out.
After running for a while, they finally came to a relatively spacious hall.
