Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

The mysterious voice said: "You need to find a mysterious gem in the pool. Only with the gem can you open the exit door. However, the pool is full of dangers, so you must be careful."

"Let's try it, maybe this is our only chance to get out of here."

Although Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er were a little scared, they nodded.

They walked into the pool carefully, feeling the strange power in the pool.

The water in the pool was not deep, but it was very cold. They slowly searched for the mysterious gem in the pool, and every step they took was full of caution.

Suddenly, a strange gurgling sound spread.

Some strange creatures appeared in the pool.

These creatures look like fish, but have sharp teeth and claws.

They pounced towards Lu Yuan and his friends, and the scene was extremely thrilling.

"Be careful!" Lu Yuan shouted.

They hurriedly dodged the attacks of these creatures while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Chu Yao accidentally got her arm scratched by a creature.

"Chu Yao!" Lu Yuan and Ye Ling'er ran over quickly.

Chu Yao frowned in pain, but still said firmly: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Lu Yuan looked at Chu Yao's injured arm, feeling full of guilt. "It's all my fault that you got hurt."

Chu Yao shook her head and said, "This is not your fault. We are together and we must face the danger together."

They continued to search for the mysterious gem in the pool, but time passed, and they still found nothing.

The water in the pool grew colder and colder, as if it would freeze their bones.

Although those strange creatures were temporarily repelled, they still swam around the pool, making terrifying noises from time to time.

Chu Yao rubbed her arms and said with chattering teeth: "Lu Yuan, we have been looking for a long time and found nothing. What should we do?"

Lu Yuan frowned, looking at the strange scene around him, his heart full of doubts.

Ye Ling'er said worriedly: "Brother Lu Yuan, it's getting more and more dangerous here. We have to think of a way."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that blindly searching like this is not a good idea. We have to test that mysterious person to see if we can find some clues."

Chu Yao said with some fear: "But, that mysterious man seems very scary, what if I anger him?"

Lu Yuan said firmly: "There is no other way now, we can only give it a try."

He cleared his throat and shouted into the void: "Senior, we have been trying hard to find the gems, but this pool is so big that we have no idea. Can you give us some hints?"

It was quiet all around, with only the occasional gurgling sound from the pool and the sound of swimming creatures.

Lu Yuan waited for a while, and seeing no response, he shouted again: "Senior, we are trapped here, and we just want to find an exit to leave. If you can give us some help, we will definitely be grateful."

At this time, the mysterious voice sounded again: "Intruder, you can only find the gems by your own strength. I will not give you any hints."

Lu Yuan was not discouraged and continued, "Senior, since you set this test, you must have your purpose. We just didn't mean to break in here. If you can tell us your purpose, maybe we can complete the test better."

The mysterious voice was silent for a while, then said: "You intruders only come for your own purposes. Have you ever cared about the fate of others?"

Lu Yuan's heart moved, and he said: "Senior, what do you mean by the fate of others? We don't know the situation here. If there is anything we can do to help, we will do our best." The mysterious voice snorted coldly and said: "You greedy humans only know how to take, not how to give."

Chu Yao couldn't help but said, "Don't say that. We are not greedy people. We just want to find a way out and leave here."

The mysterious voice said: "Then you continue to look for gems. You can only leave if you pass the test."

Lu Yuan knew that asking further would yield no results, so he said to Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er, "It seems that this mysterious man will not give us any clues easily, so let's continue looking for gems. However, we must be more careful, as there may be other dangers here."

They began to search the pool carefully again, leaving no corner untouched.

But as time went by, they still found no trace of the gem.

Just when they were feeling desperate, the creatures in the pool suddenly became more active.

They began to gather together and swam towards Lu Yuan and his group.

"Oh no, these creatures are going to attack us again." Ye Ling'er said nervously.

Lu Yuan tightly grasped the Xuanyuan Sword and said, "Prepare for battle. We can't let them get close."

Chu Yao also took out her weapon. Although she was afraid, she still stood firmly beside Lu Yuan.

The creatures swam over quickly, baring their sharp teeth and claws, and attacked them.

Lu Yuan and his men fought hard and engaged in a fierce battle with these creatures.

However, Lu Yuan soon discovered that these creatures seemed to be controlled by some force.

Their attacks were very regular and became increasingly ferocious.

"There must be something wrong with these creatures. We can't just keep taking the beating like this." Lu Yuan said.

While fending off the creature's attack, Ye Ling'er said, "What should we do then?"

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's try to attack other places in the pool to see if we can find the source that controls these creatures."

They began to change their strategy. Instead of simply defending against the creatures' attacks, they took the initiative to attack different locations in the pool.

Sure enough, when Lu Yuan attacked a stone beside the pool, the creatures' actions became briefly chaotic.

"It's right there. There must be a problem there." Lu Yuan said.

They concentrated their attack on the area in the center of the pool.

As they attacked, the light in the pool began to flicker and the creatures became more frantic.

Just when they thought they had found the key, a powerful force suddenly rose from the center of the pool and blew them all away.

"Ah!" Chu Yao fell heavily to the ground and screamed in pain.

Lu Yuan and Ye Ling'er were also shocked and their blood was boiling. They struggled to stand up and looked at the mysterious power in the center of the pool with shock in their hearts.

"What kind of power is this?" Ye Ling'er asked.

Lu Yuan stared at the center of the pool and said, "It seems that we have triggered a more powerful mechanism. The situation is even more dangerous now, and we must be more careful."

They approached the center of the pool cautiously, and the mysterious power continued to surge. As they approached. (End of this chapter)
