Chapter 885: The Treasure Appears and Causes Disputes

Elder Chen narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the surrounding environment. Suddenly, he exclaimed: "Here... there seems to be a huge treasure hidden here!"

When everyone heard the word "treasure", their eyes lit up, and a tense and excited atmosphere spread.

Granny Lin rubbed her hands excitedly and murmured to herself: "Treasure... there is really a treasure..." Doctor Zhang calmly analyzed: "It seems that we accidentally found an incredible place."

Xiaohong took the hand of the man in white and whispered: "Be careful, it feels very strange here." The man in white patted her hand gently, indicating that she was at ease.

Just as everyone approached the stone platform and prepared to carefully examine the orb, a tall figure suddenly walked out of the darkness.

He was burly, wearing black armor, holding a huge battle axe in his hand, exuding a powerful aura.

Everyone was startled by this sudden change and took a few steps back.

"Who is it?!" Zhao the blacksmith asked bravely.

The treasure guardian said in a muffled voice: "Those who trespass will die!" Before he finished speaking, he swung his battle axe and attacked everyone.

Everyone dodged, and Zhao the blacksmith was hit by the axe wind and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth.

"Brother Zhao!" Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed and wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Xiaohong: "Don't go over, it's too dangerous!"

Seeing this, the man in white stood up again, and a long sword appeared in his hand at some point, the sword light flashed, and collided with the treasure guardian's battle axe.

The surrounding space flickered due to the collision of spells, making bursts of roaring sounds.

"Go!" The man in white shouted to everyone while resisting the attack of the treasure guardian, "I'll hold him back!"

Xiaohong watched the fierce battle between the man in white and the treasure guardian, and her heart was full of worry. She held Luo Xiaoyu's hand tightly and said, "He... he will be fine, right?" Luo Xiaoyu shook her head, her eyes full of anxiety, "I don't know... this guardian looks so strong..."

The treasure guardian wielded a huge axe, and every attack was with the might of splitting mountains and rocks, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Every collision between the battle axe and the sword blade burst out with a harsh metal collision sound, which hurt everyone's eardrums.

The man in white was flexible, and the sword light shuttled like a dragon, but he could not break through the impenetrable defense of the treasure guardian.

Seeing this, everyone used their own methods to try to help the man in white.

Li the Hunter waved his spear, trying to contain the treasure guardian's actions, but was knocked away by his axe, hitting the stone wall, groaning, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Elder Chen chanted a spell, trying to trap the treasure guardian with a spell, but was shattered by the powerful aura emanating from him, turning into starlight and dissipating.

The red light flickered, the eyes were getting closer and closer, and a fishy smell spread.

Everyone held their breath, cold sweat oozed from their palms, and their hearts beat wildly.

The passage was narrow, and the space for maneuvering was limited. Everyone's footsteps became heavier, as if they were filled with lead.

Xiaohong tightly grasped the corner of the white-clothed man's clothes, her knuckles turned white, and her body trembled slightly.

The darkness was like thick ink, wrapping them in it, and they couldn't see their fingers when they stretched out their hands.

The oppressive atmosphere was suffocating, and even breathing became cautious.

The walls on both sides of the passage were rough and cold, with occasional drops of water dripping, which was particularly clear in the silence and added to the tense atmosphere.

"Shua!" Several black shadows rushed out of the darkness like ghosts, at an astonishing speed.

The crowd didn't even see their appearance clearly, only felt a flash of cold light, and the sharp blade was approaching.

"Ah!" Luo Xiaoyu screamed, almost being cut by a knife.

Doctor Zhang reacted quickly, swung the long sword in his hand, and blocked the attack.

"Everyone be careful! It's a shadow assassin!"

The battle broke out instantly, and the narrow passage was filled with swords and swords, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

The shadow assassin was agile and deadly.

Although Li the hunter was strong, his two fists could not beat four hands. He was not careful and his arm was cut with a bloody mark.

"Brother Li!" Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed. Everyone's heart sank, and the situation was critical.

The man in white had a stern look in his eyes, and he made a hand gesture. A flash of white light passed by, and a protective shield enveloped everyone.

"Back off!" he shouted.

The protective shield flashed, blocking all the assassins' attacks.

The space was filled with the light of magic, illuminating a small area around and the hideous faces of the assassins.

Doctor Zhang looked around nervously, holding the sword tighter in his hand.

The assassins seemed to be endless, and the attacks were getting more and more fierce...

The man in white had a solemn face, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

"This won't work..." he whispered.

The shadow assassins came like a tide, as if they were endless.

The swords and shadows intertwined, weaving a web of death in the narrow passage.

Everyone was struggling and gradually lost their strength.

Sweat soaked through their clothes, and their breathing became rapid.

The mood of despair spread like a plague, enveloping everyone's heart.

"If this goes on... we'll all die here..." Li the Hunter gasped, the wound on his arm still bleeding.

At this moment, an assassin went around behind Granny Lin and stabbed her with a knife.

Luo Xiaoyu was quick-witted and pushed Granny Lin away, but she was stabbed.

Blood gushed out, staining her clothes red.

"Luo Xiaoyu!" Everyone exclaimed.

Luo Xiaoyu's face was pale, blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth, and her body slowly fell down.

Granny Lin hugged her, tears streaming down her face.

"Silly child... why are you doing this..."

The oppressive atmosphere was almost suffocating.

Xiaohong looked at her injured companion, tears welling up in her eyes.

She bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.

Could it be...

that she was really going to die here?

Just when everyone thought they could only fight to the death, the mysterious old man who had been silent all the time suddenly moved.

He flashed and came to the wall on one side of the passage, and his fingers quickly swiped on the wall.

A strange light flashed, and a rune on the wall dimmed instantly.

At the same time, the shadow assassins who were originally well-organized suddenly became chaotic, attacking each other, and even killing each other.

Everyone looked at this scene in surprise, not understanding what was happening.

"Their actions... are related to these runes..." The mysterious old man spoke slowly, his eyes deep, "As long as these runes are destroyed..."

"Wait..." The man in white suddenly spoke, staring at the old man, "Who... are you?"

Taking advantage of the chaos of the shadow assassins killing each other, the man in white seized the opportunity, and the spells in his hands changed, and white light shot out like sharp arrows, accurately hitting several assassins.

They screamed and turned into black smoke and dissipated.

Seeing this, everyone was greatly encouraged, and the original despair was swept away, replaced by excitement and hope.

Doctor Zhang's swordsmanship was sharp and fatal, and every sword he swung took the life of an assassin.

Li the hunter endured the pain, waved his fists, and knocked down the approaching assassins one by one like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Zhao the blacksmith swung the hammer with great force, hitting the assassins so hard that they cried for their parents.

Everyone's faces were filled with confident smiles again, and they encouraged each other, as if the space around them also became brighter because of their emotions.

"Come on, kill all these guys!" Li Liehu shouted excitedly.

Luo Xiaoyu endured the pain and cheered everyone up: "Everyone be careful, victory is just around the corner!"

They fought more and more bravely, and beat the shadow assassins back step by step.

The assassins' originally orderly attacks became chaotic and defeated.

Screams and the sound of weapons colliding echoed in the narrow passage.

No mistakes, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

Blood splattered, dyeing the ground red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The battle gradually subsided, and only corpses and a strong smell of blood were left in the passage.

The man in white carried the injured Luo Xiaoyu on his back, his movements were gentle. Xiaohong looked at the man in white. Granny Lin took out a handkerchief and carefully bandaged Li the hunter's wound. Her eyes were kind and full of warmth.

Everyone tried their best, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree. They couldn't shake the treasure guardian at all. Despair spread in everyone's hearts.

"Xiaohong, be careful!" Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed and pushed Xiaohong away.

At this moment, the treasure guardian's battle axe swept over with a sharp wind. In order to protect Xiaohong, Luo Xiaoyu took this blow firmly. The whole person flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and hit the stone wall heavily. With a "wow" sound, she spit out a mouthful of blood, and the blood stained her chest red.

"Xiaoyu!" Xiaohong exclaimed, not caring about her own safety, and hurried to Luo Xiaoyu and helped her up.

Luo Xiaoyu's face was pale, her breath was weak, she moaned in pain, and there were bursts of pain in her chest.

Xiaohong looked at Luo Xiaoyu's scarred appearance, her heart was full of guilt and anger, and tears rolled in her eyes.

She held Luo Xiaoyu's hand tightly, her nails almost digging into the flesh.

Just when everyone was at a loss and thought that they were doomed today, a crisp voice broke the silence in the cave, "Enough, stop it." Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a girl in an emerald green gauze dress slowly walking out of the rune light.

She had a smooth waist-length hair and a pair of smart big eyes, like an elf in the forest, full of mystery and aura.

She held a gleaming scepter in her hand, and a crystal clear gem was inlaid on the top of the scepter, emitting a soft light.

The treasure guardian heard the girl's voice, and the battle axe in his hand paused slightly. His huge body slowly turned his head and looked at the rune elf.

The rune elf said something to the treasure guardian. His voice was very low and no one heard it, but it could be seen that the treasure guardian's expression had changed, and his originally fierce eyes gradually became soft.

"Why?" The treasure guardian asked in a low voice.

The rune elf shook his head and did not answer him. Instead, he turned around and said to Xiaohong and the others: "Follow me, I know what you want." After she finished speaking, she turned and walked deep into the cave. Everyone looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and followed.

The huge body of the treasure guardian slowly put down the battle axe, and the violent aura retreated like a tide, replaced by an inexplicable calm.

He said in a rough voice: "Since the rune elf allows it, you can choose a treasure as a reward." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned at first, and then burst into thunderous cheers, and their surprise was beyond words.

They looked at each other in disbelief, with greed and excitement flashing in their eyes, as if they saw countless gold and silver jewels.

Grandma Lin's hands were shaking with excitement, and Luo Xiaoyu jumped up with excitement, and even the pain in her body seemed to be relieved a lot.

Everyone followed the rune elves and came to the depths of the cave.

Suddenly, a huge space appeared in front of everyone, with countless treasures piled up like mountains, and the golden light almost dyed the entire space into a brilliant color.

Various rare treasures exuded dazzling light and shone with diamond-like luster.

The air was filled with rich energy fluctuations, as if every treasure contained amazing power.

Xiaohong widened her eyes and opened her mouth into an "O" shape. She had never seen such a spectacular scene. Those legendary treasures were now placed in front of her like this.

Everyone rushed into the treasure pile impatiently and picked them greedily.

Luo Xiaoyu grabbed a dagger shining with blue light without hesitation. The blade was covered with exquisite runes, exuding bursts of cold air, and it was cold to the touch, making her love it.

Blacksmith Zhao picked up a dark war hammer with a ferocious animal head carved on it, which seemed to contain infinite power. He excitedly waved it a few times, making a deafening roar.

Hunter Li chose a simple armor and put it on, feeling full of power.

Granny Lin carefully picked up a simple wooden stick, which emitted a soft light, which seemed to soothe her heart.

Elder Chen carefully flipped through a scroll with an ancient atmosphere.

After everyone chose the treasure they were satisfied with, their faces were filled with unconcealed joy, as if they had picked up a huge bargain.

They felt that their strength could be greatly improved, and they were full of confidence in the future adventure.

The surrounding space seemed to become brighter because of their joy, and every corner was shining with the light of hope.

The man in white gently stroked Xiaohong's hair, comforting her injured heart.

Xiaohong leaned obediently in the arms of the man in white. Luo Xiaoyu looked at this scene with an envious smile on her face. She silently blessed the happy couple in her heart.

Others also cast envious eyes, and the whole cave was filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere, and the originally tense mood was also soothed.

Just as everyone was immersed in joy and ready to leave with the treasure, the face of the rune elf suddenly changed. She spoke in a low voice with a subtle tremor, "You... shouldn't take these... things..." Before the rune elf finished speaking, a strange sound came from the depths of the cave, as if some ancient giant beast was slowly waking up, which was palpitating.

Everyone was immersed in joy and was about to leave with the treasure. At this time, the face of the rune elf suddenly changed. She spoke in a low voice with a subtle tremor, "You... shouldn't take these... things..." Before she finished speaking, a strange sound came from the depths of the cave, as if some ancient giant beast was slowly waking up, which was palpitating.

The mysterious old man's eyes stayed on a corner of the cave for a moment. He walked forward slowly and pointed at a seemingly smooth stone wall. "Here, there is a hidden passage." Everyone was stunned when they heard the voice. They looked in the direction of the mysterious old man's finger. Sure enough, under the illumination of the rune light, the stone wall gradually revealed a faint gap.

"Is there really a hidden passage?" Luo Xiaoyu shouted excitedly, her face full of curiosity and expectation.

Although Granny Lin is old, she is as curious as young people. She asked cautiously: "Where does this passage lead to? Is there any danger?"

The mysterious old man calmly replied: "This passage leads to a more mysterious place, where there are bigger secrets and more treasures. But at the same time, it may also be a more dangerous place." There was a seriousness in his voice that could not be ignored, as if warning everyone not to act rashly.

Xiaohong's heart trembled. She pulled the sleeve of the man in white and whispered, "Are we really going?" The man in white nodded gently, with a firm light in his eyes, "Since we are here, we must find out."

Everyone discussed it one by one, and finally decided to continue exploring.

They had both a desire for the unknown and a vigilance against danger in their hearts.

Granny Lin picked up the ancient wooden stick in her hand and chanted a spell in a low voice. A faint fragrance filled the air, which seemed to relieve a little tension.

Seeing this, the rune elf smiled slightly. She waved the scepter in her hand gently, and the hidden passage slowly opened. A mysterious light shone through the gap, foreshadowing the new challenges to be faced.

Everyone took a deep breath and resolutely stepped into the hidden passage.

There was a strange light in the passage, which was completely different from the golden light outside. It was more like some ancient rune emitting a faint and mysterious glow.

Xiaohong felt a cool breath, as if the air in the passage was purified. She relaxed a little, but remained vigilant.

At this moment, Luo Xiaoyu suddenly stopped, and her ears caught a hint of unusual noise.

She whispered: "Listen, this sound..." Everyone immediately quieted down and listened carefully.

There was a sound similar to water drops in the passage, but if you listen carefully, it sounds like some kind of low panting, as if something is waiting in the dark.

The light in the passage was getting darker and darker, and the sense of danger was getting stronger and stronger. Luo Xiaoyu held Xiaohong's hand tightly, and her voice was trembling, "Let's... go quickly, something is wrong here."

At this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the passage, as if some ancient giant beast had finally awakened, and everyone's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, almost jumping out of the chest.

Zhang Langzhong clenched the long sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Everyone follow me, be careful." As soon as he finished speaking, in the darkness deep in the passage, a pair of red eyes gradually became clearly visible, as if staring at them, ready to move. (End of this chapter)
