Alliance: A Great Compassion Mantra, I make the whole network autistic

"Is everyone okay?" Su Zhe asked with concern.

"It's okay, just a few scratches." Avril rubbed her arm and stood up.

"Where is this?" Leah looked around. It seemed to be an underground cave with strange runes engraved on the walls.

"It seems that we have fallen into an underground ruin." Lin Mufeng used his staff to illuminate the surroundings, "These runes seem to be some kind of ancient language."

"We have to find a way out." Su Zhe said, "Continue to search for the artifact."

The four of them walked along a passage in the cave. The runes on both sides of the passage flickered faintly under the light of the staff, as if telling something. Suddenly, a low roar came from the front, and several people stopped vigilantly.

"There's something ahead." Avril whispered, her hand already grasping the hilt of the sword.

"Let's be careful." Su Zhe signaled everyone to stay alert and move forward slowly.

Turning a corner, they saw a huge underground hall with a huge stone beast standing in the center. The stone beast's eyes were flashing red, and it was obviously activated, and it was slowly approaching them.

"This thing looks difficult to deal with." Liya pulled the bowstring to its full extent, ready to shoot at any time.

"We must find its weakness." Su Zhe analyzed calmly, "This kind of ancient guardian usually has a core. As long as the core is destroyed, it will lose its power."

"The core... is in its chest!" Lin Mufeng pointed at a gem that was glowing red on the stone beast's chest.

"Understood." Avril and Liya looked at each other and quickly dispersed to attract the stone beast's attention. Su Zhe and Lin Mufeng took the opportunity to approach the stone beast and look for a chance to attack its core.

The stone beast's attack power was extremely strong, and every time it swung its claws, it created a gust of wind, but Avril and Liya were agile and kept dodging, successfully restraining it. Just as the stone beast's attention was completely attracted, Su Zhe and Lin Mufeng approached quickly, and Lin Mufeng released a powerful beam of light with his staff, hitting the core of the stone beast directly.

"Now!" Su Zhe shouted, leaping up and stabbing the stone beast's core with his sword. The gem shattered, and the stone beast let out a shrill roar before turning into a pile of rubble.

"Well done!" Leah breathed a sigh of relief and put down the bow.

"We have to keep moving forward." Su Zhe wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The artifact is still waiting for us."

The four continued to move forward and finally found a huge stone door at the deepest part of the cave. The stone door was engraved with complex runes and a sparkling gem was inlaid in the middle.

"Behind this door should be the hiding place of the artifact." Lin Mufeng said.

"How do we open it?" Avril asked.

"Let me try." Lin Mufeng raised his staff and chanted softly. The light at the top of the staff resonated with the gemstone on the stone door. The stone door made a low rumbling sound and slowly opened.

Behind the door was a spacious stone chamber. On the central altar, the artifact lay quietly, emitting a gentle glow. The four of them walked forward, their hearts filled with excitement and anticipation.

"We finally found it." Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, "We succeeded."

"But this is just the beginning." Lin Mufeng reminded, "We must protect the artifact to prevent it from being taken away again."

"That's right." Avril nodded, "We still have a lot to do."

"Then let's keep going." Su Zhe said firmly, "For this world, for all innocent lives."

Just as the four were about to take down the artifact, the entire stone chamber suddenly shook, and the runes on the wall lit up one by one, as if foreshadowing something ominous was about to happen. Before Su Zhe, Avril, Liya, and Lin Mufeng could react, the floor of the stone chamber cracked, and a huge stone slab slowly rose, revealing a huge petrified beast hidden underground.

"What is this?" Avril exclaimed, her hand clenching the hilt of the sword again.

"It looks like some kind of ancient guardian." Lin Mufeng frowned, "We must be careful."

At this moment, the petrified beast's eyes suddenly flashed red, and the stones on its body began to peel off, revealing its hard scales. The beast let out a deafening roar and stood up suddenly, apparently having fully resurrected.

"Get ready for battle!" Su Zhe shouted, swinging his sword towards the giant beast.

The beast was huge, but moved extremely fast. It swung its huge claws, creating a gust of wind. Su Zhe and Avril quickly dodged, but were still shaken back a few steps. Liya pulled the bowstring to its full length, aimed at the beast's eyes and shot an arrow, but the arrow was deflected by the beast's scales.

"Its defense is too strong!" Leah said anxiously.

"We must find its weakness." Su Zhe analyzed calmly, his eyes fixed on the giant beast's every move.

Lin Mufeng raised his staff and cast a powerful beam of light, which hit the chest of the giant beast directly. However, when the beam hit the giant beast, it only caused a burst of sparks and had no effect.

"Its defense is beyond imagination." Lin Mufeng frowned, "We need a stronger attack."

The beast swung its claws again and pounced on the four people. Avril and Su Zhe dodged to the left and right, and Liya quickly climbed up a boulder nearby and shot from a high place, but still could not cause effective damage to the beast.

"We'll never be able to defeat it at this rate," Avril gasped.

"There must be a more effective way." Su Zhe gritted his teeth and kept scanning the giant beast, trying to find its weakness.

Suddenly, Lin Mufeng's eyes lit up. He noticed that there was a scale on the giant beast's belly that was slightly different in color, which seemed to be its fatal weakness.

"That scale!" Lin Mufeng shouted, "There is a scale on its abdomen that is a different color. It may be its weakness!"

"I understand!" Su Zhe nodded. He quickly exchanged glances with Avril and Leah, signaling them to continue attracting the attention of the giant beast.

Avril and Liya quickly separated and attacked the beast from the left and right sides. Su Zhe took the opportunity to go around the back of the beast and look for a chance to attack its belly. Lin Mufeng continued to release beams with his staff to restrain the beast's movements.

The beast was enraged by the attack of the three people, and waved its claws and tail frantically, trying to repel them. However, Avril and Liya were agile and kept dodging, successfully attracting the beast's attention. Just when the beast's attention was completely attracted, Su Zhe quickly approached the beast's abdomen, aimed at the scale of different color, and stabbed it with all his strength. The blade penetrated the scale, and the beast let out a shrill roar, and its body trembled violently.

"Success!" Su Zhe shouted and quickly retreated to avoid being affected by the giant beast's counterattack.

The beast's movements gradually slowed down, and it finally fell to the ground, its body petrified, and turned back into a huge stone statue. The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, having finally dealt with this powerful enemy.

"Well done!" Leah put down the bow and said with a smile.

"But we can't let our guard down." Lin Mufeng reminded, "There are still many unknown dangers waiting for us."

Su Zhe nodded, walked to the altar, and took down the artifact. It was a crystal stone emitting a gentle light, which seemed to contain infinite power.

"We must protect it well." Su Zhe said solemnly, "We can't let it fall into the hands of the enemy again."

"That's right." Avril nodded, "We still have a lot to do."

The four of them packed up their equipment and prepared to leave the underground cave. However, just as they turned around, footsteps suddenly came from the other side of the stone chamber. They stopped in their tracks and turned around to see a mysterious man in a black robe slowly walking out with a strange smile on his face.

"It seems that you have found the artifact." The man in black robe said coldly, "But do you think this is the end?"

"Who are you?" Su Zhe asked vigilantly, holding the sword tightly in his hand.

"It doesn't matter who I am." The man in black robe smiled. "What matters is that you are about to face a greater challenge."

Before he finished speaking, the man in black robe swung the staff in his hand, and a black light hit the four people directly.

Su Zhe and Avril dodged quickly, but were still pushed back a few steps by the aftermath.

"We have to be careful, this guy is not simple." Lin Mufeng whispered, raising his staff and preparing for battle.

"We can't let him succeed." Su Zhe said firmly, "For this world, for all innocent lives."

Su Zhe, Avril, Liya and Lin Mufeng quickly formed a battle formation, ready to fight the mysterious man in black robe. The man in black robe sneered and waved the staff in his hand again. The black light came like a venomous snake, approaching the four people.

"Spread out!" Su Zhe shouted, and the four of them quickly separated to avoid being hit by the black-robed man's attack. Avril and Su Zhe rushed to the black-robed man from the left and right, while Liya quickly drew her bow and shot an arrow at the black-robed man's head. Lin Mufeng cast a spell in the back, trying to interfere with the black-robed man's spellcasting.

The black-robed man was obviously no ordinary person. He easily waved his staff to block Liya's arrow, and at the same time used his other hand to cast a black barrier to block Lin Mufeng's beam. Su Zhe and Avril's swords were also blocked by the barrier and could not get close to the black-robed man.

"His defense is also very strong. We need to find a flaw." Su Zhe said in a low voice, observing the black-robed man's every move with sharp eyes.

"I'll hold him back, and you guys look for an opportunity to attack." Avril said. She swung her sword quickly and launched a series of fierce attacks, forcing the man in black to defend with all his strength.

Su Zhe nodded, exchanged glances with Liya and Lin Mufeng, and the three of them quickly dispersed to look for the flaws of the black-robed man. Lin Mufeng cast a powerful beam of light, directly hitting the black-robed man's barrier. Although it could not completely break it, it also caused a slight crack in the barrier.

"Now!" Su Zhe shouted, and he rushed forward quickly, using all his strength to chop the crack in the barrier with his sword. The barrier shattered, and the man in black robe showed a surprised expression, but before he could react, Liya's arrow had already hit his shoulder, forcing him to step back a few steps.

"You little bugs!" The man in black robe roared angrily and slammed the staff in his hand into the ground. The ground suddenly cracked and black vines sprang out from the ground, trying to entangle the four people.

Su Zhe and Avril quickly swung their swords to cut off the vines, while Liya swiftly dodged and continued to look for opportunities to shoot. Lin Mufeng unleashed a powerful wind blade, cutting off more vines, creating opportunities for Su Zhe and Avril to attack.

"His power is weakening, keep attacking!" Su Zhe encouraged, and he and Avril rushed towards the black-robed man, slashing at him with their swords like lightning. The black-robed man was forced to retreat step by step, and finally revealed a flaw.

"Now!" Lin Mufeng shouted, and he cast a powerful beam of light, which hit the black-robed man's chest directly. The black-robed man screamed, and his body was hit by the beam of light, and he fell to the ground, and his staff slipped from his hand.

"It's over." Su Zhe said coldly. He walked forward and stabbed the black-robed man's heart with his sword. The black-robed man uttered a final painful groan, his body gradually turned cold, and he finally lost his life completely.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that this was only a temporary victory. Su Zhe picked up the black-robed man's staff and observed it carefully, and found that the staff was engraved with complex runes, which seemed to hide some secrets.

"This staff is not simple. It may be some kind of powerful magic prop." Lin Mufeng said, "We have to handle it with caution."

"Let's leave here first." Avril suggested, "We need to find a safe place to rest."

The four packed up their equipment and left the underground cave. However, they did not know that the death of the man in black robe had attracted the attention of the evil organization.

A few days later, in a dark basement, a tall man in a black robe stood in front of a huge stone table, which was filled with various ancient books and scrolls. His face was hidden under the hood, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

"They killed our spies." The man whispered, with endless chill in his voice.

"It seems they have obtained the artifact." Another voice came from the shadows. It was a thin man with a grim smile on his face. "What should we do?"

"Gather all the men." The tall man said coldly, "We need to take back the artifact. We can't let them ruin our plan."

"I understand." The thin man nodded, turned and left the basement.

The tall man stood there, with a vicious gleam in his cold eyes. He knew that the battle was far from over, and he would take back their power at all costs.

At the same time, Su Zhe, Avril, Liya and Lin Mufeng have arrived at a hidden valley, where they temporarily settled down and prepared to face the next challenges.

"We must find a safe place to hide the artifact as soon as possible." Su Zhe said, "I have a bad feeling that the enemy will not let us go easily."

"We can go find our old mentor," Avril suggested. "He's the only person we can trust. Maybe he can give us some advice."

"Good idea." Su Zhe nodded, "We will set out early tomorrow morning." (End of this chapter)
