Chapter 356: The Secret of the Divine Artifact
Just as the enormous beam of light was about to strike everyone, Xiao Tian pulled a mysterious shield from its green underpants. This shield, seemingly unremarkable, instantly exuded an ancient and mysterious aura. Strange runes were inscribed on its surface, seemingly pulsating and shimmering with a mysterious light.
Xiao Tian raised his shield and shouted, "Watch me!" His voice was full of confidence and courage, and his small body seemed exceptionally tall at that moment.
The light struck the shield, producing a dazzling flash and a deafening roar, like two stars colliding. The light surged like a raging torrent, instantly engulfing everyone. The powerful impact left them dizzy, their ears ringing, and their vision filled with stars.
As the light faded, everyone felt their heads still buzzing and their bodies slightly weak. The mysterious figure nodded slightly, his once dignified face now showing a hint of approval: "Not bad, you have passed the test. The artifact is in this cave; go find it yourselves." With that, his figure gradually disappeared into the mist, as mysterious and unpredictable as he had been.
Liu Yu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed to the ground, and gasped for breath.
Pigsy, panting heavily, said, "Oh my god, I'm exhausted! What kind of test was this? It almost killed me. I thought I was going to die here today." His round belly rose and fell, and sweat streamed down his face like a small stream.
Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "Look at you, so pathetic. If everyone hadn't worked together, would we have passed the test? All you do is complain. Don't you ever think about how much effort you put in?"
Bai Suzhen smiled at Liu Yu, her eyes filled with tenderness and concern: "Husband, let's hurry and find the divine artifact. We've gone through so many hardships, we can't give up halfway."
Liu Yu nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to regain some strength before standing up: "Let's go, everyone be careful. There might be other dangers waiting for us in this cave."
The group entered the cave, which was filled with a mysterious atmosphere. Strange lights shimmered on the cave walls, some like twinkling stars, others like flowing ribbons, as if telling ancient stories. The light reflected on the group's faces, making their expressions appear uncertain.
As they walked, they came to a huge stone chamber. The chamber was spacious and tall, with smooth, mirror-like walls that exuded a mysterious aura. In the center of the chamber was a treasure box radiating multicolored light. The box was exquisitely crafted, inlaid with various gemstones, and the light emanated from these gemstones.
"This must be the treasure box containing the divine artifact," Liu Yu said, his voice filled with excitement and anticipation, yet he dared not approach rashly, fearing some kind of trap.
Just as Liu Yu was about to step forward and open the treasure box, the system's voice sounded in his mind: "New mission: Only by breaking the seal on the treasure box can you obtain the artifact."
Liu Yu frowned, lost in thought: "How can this seal be broken? I have no clue at all." His eyes were fixed on the treasure box, trying to find some clues.
Pigsy leaned over, his fat body pushing everyone else aside: "Let me, Old Pig, give it a try. Maybe I can knock it aside with one bump. I, Old Pig, am very strong!"
Xiaoqing quickly stopped him, saying anxiously, "Don't make things worse. It would be troublesome if you triggered some mechanism. When are you going to change your reckless nature?"
Xiao Tian, wearing green shorts, ran around the stone chamber, barking, "I think there must be some clues here. Everyone, search carefully, don't miss anything." Its lively appearance brought a touch of relaxation to the tense atmosphere.
Just then, some strange patterns and characters suddenly appeared on the cave wall. The patterns looked like ancient incantations, and the characters were crooked and unpredictable.
Liu Yu carefully observed the patterns and words, lost in thought. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were fixed intently, as if trying to see through the patterns and words.
Bai Suzhen said softly, her voice gentle and soothing: "Husband, don't worry, let's think of a way together. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to solve this mystery."
Xiaoqing paced anxiously to the side, muttering to herself, "What are we going to do? Time is of the essence. If we can't break the seal, all our previous efforts will be in vain."
Pigsy sat on the ground, bored, and took out a fruit from his pocket to eat. He muttered as he ate, "You guys take your time thinking. I'll eat something first to replenish my strength so I can help later."
Xiao Tian ran over and yelled at Zhu Bajie, "All you know is eating! You don't even try to help us think of a solution. All you do at a crucial moment is eat! You're such a glutton!"
Pigsy snorted and said nonchalantly, "I'm just replenishing my energy so I'll have the strength to work later. Don't underestimate me, I'm not someone to be trifled with."
After some thought, Liu Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said excitedly, "I think I understand now. These patterns and words are telling us that we need to cast spells in a specific order."
Upon hearing this, everyone prepared to cast their spells, their eyes filled with anticipation and tension.
Liu Yu shouted, "Everyone, listen to my instructions and work together. We must not make any mistakes, or the consequences will be unimaginable."
As everyone cast their spells, the light on the treasure box began to flicker, like twinkling stars in the night sky. The seal began to loosen, making a "crackling" sound.
Just as the seal was about to be broken, a group of monsters rushed in.
"Oh no, it's the monster guarding the treasure box!" Liu Yu shouted, his voice filled with vigilance and tension.
These monsters were strangely shaped; some resembled giant spiders with hairy legs covered in spikes and eyes that gleamed with an eerie light; others looked like winged lions, spewing flames from their mouths and roaring deafeningly, making them extremely ferocious.
Pigsy jumped up in fright, dropping the fruit he was holding to the ground: "Oh dear, what are these again? Why are there so many monsters?"
Xiao Tian, however, was not afraid at all. He rushed forward and shouted at the monsters, "Come on, let's see how I deal with you!"
Another fierce battle unfolds...
