I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

They looked at the scene in front of them in surprise, and saw an illusory figure emerging from the light. It was an old man wearing a robe, and his eyes revealed the light of majesty and wisdom.

"Welcome to my ruins." The old man said slowly, "I am the owner of this ruins and the guardian of this spiritual bead. The fact that you are able to come here shows that you have extraordinary courage and wisdom."

Zhao Qi and others were stunned by the old man's appearance. They could not imagine that such a mysterious existence was hidden in this ruins.

"Senior... hello." Zhao Qi saluted respectfully and said, "Junior Zhao Qi, I inadvertently broke into this place. I have offended you a lot. Please forgive me, senior."

The old man smiled and nodded and said: "No need to be polite. It is fate that you are able to come here. This spirit bead is the result of my lifelong cultivation, and now I will give it to the most destined person among you."

After speaking, the old man pointed his finger, and the spirit bead in Zhao Qi's hand flew to the center of his eyebrows and disappeared. Zhao Qi felt a warm current pouring into his body, instantly integrating with his spiritual power.

"Thank you, senior, for the treasure!" Zhao Qi said excitedly.

The old man smiled and shook his head and said: "No need to thank me. You deserve this. Now you can leave this ruins. The outside world is wider, waiting for you to explore and experience."

After speaking, the old man's figure gradually disappeared in the light. Zhao Qi and others looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with expectations and longing for the future. They know that this ruins is just a small stop on their journey of experience, and there will be more challenges waiting for them to meet in the future.

However, just when Zhao Qi and others were preparing to leave this mysterious ruins with a full load, a sudden change occurred.

A low roar suddenly came from the originally quiet air, and the entire ruins seemed to tremble at this moment.

"No! It's dangerous!" Yi Wuxiao shouted loudly. He quickly drew his weapon and prepared for battle.

Zhao Qi and Lan Lingling also immediately became vigilant. They looked around to try to find the source of the danger. However, they did not find anything unusual, only that the energy fluctuations became stronger and stronger and seemed to be approaching them.

"Quick! We have to get out of here!" Zhao Qi shouted. He pulled Lan Lingling and Yi Wuxiao and ran towards the exit. However, as soon as they reached the entrance of the passage, they found that the passage had been blocked.

"How could this happen?" Lan Lingling said in surprise. She looked at the blocked passage ahead, filled with despair.

"Don't panic! We must have a way out!" Zhao Qi said firmly. He started looking around for other exits but found none.

At this time, the energy wave was getting closer and closer, and they could clearly feel a strong sense of oppression coming. The three of them stood back to back and stared ahead vigilantly, preparing to face the coming danger...

They raised their heads in shock and saw a huge stone beast appearing out of thin air not far ahead, blocking their way.

This stone beast is huge, several feet tall, and its whole body is made of hard stone. It exudes a cold and majestic aura.

Its eyes flashed red, like two burning flames, making people shudder. Its limbs are strong and powerful, and every step it takes can make the ground tremble.

"What the hell is this?" Yi Wuxiao exclaimed, subconsciously clenching the sword in his hand.

"This is the guardian beast of the ruins." Lan Lingling said solemnly, "It seems that it is not so easy for us to leave here."

Zhao Qi frowned tightly and glanced back and forth at the stone statue beast, trying to find its weakness. He knew that this battle would be the hardest of their lives.

"Everyone, be careful. The power of this stone beast is extraordinary." Zhao Qi said in a deep voice, "We must work together to defeat it."

The stone statue beast seemed to sense the hostility of Zhao Qi and others. It roared, opened its bloody mouth, and a blazing flame spurted out from its mouth, heading straight for them.

"Get out of the way!" Zhao Qi shouted and quickly moved to the side like the wind. Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling also reacted quickly to avoid the flame attack.

The flames burned on the ground, instantly forming a sea of ​​​​fire. Zhao Qi and others looked at the scene in front of them and couldn't help but secretly rejoice. If they had been a little slower just now, they might have been swallowed up by the flames at this moment.

When the stone statue beast saw that the attack missed, it did not give up. It took heavy steps and rushed towards Zhao Qi and others. Every step he took made the ground tremble, as if the entire ruins were being flattened.

"Everyone spread out, don't let it have the opportunity to attack at close range." Zhao Qi ordered loudly while avoiding the attack of the stone statue beast.

Upon hearing this, Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling immediately spread out and attacked the stone statue beast from different directions. However, their attacks left no trace at all on the stone beast's hard stone skin.

"This guy's skin is too thick!" Yi Wuxiao gritted his teeth in anger.

"Don't waste your efforts. Your attacks are not painful to it at all." Lan Lingling said, "We need to find its weakness to have a chance to defeat it."

Zhao Qi nodded, knowing that Lan Lingling was right. However, how easy is it to find a weakness in a stone beast?
Just when they were at a loss what to do, Zhao Qi suddenly thought of something. He raised his head suddenly and looked into the stone beast's eyes. That was the only place on its body that wasn't covered by stone skin.

"Attack its eyes!" Zhao Qi shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling immediately understood Zhao Qi's intention. They adjusted their attack direction one after another and concentrated their firepower to launch a fierce attack on the stone beast's eyes.

However, stone statue beasts are not just people to be taken for granted. It seemed to be aware of the intentions of Zhao Qi and others, and immediately closed its eyes, while waving its huge stone arms and launched a counterattack against them.

For a moment, the sound of fierce fighting resounded in the ruins. Zhao Qi and others relied on their tacit cooperation and flexible skills to avoid the stone beast's attacks time and time again. And their attacks gradually became effective, and blood began to flow from the stone beast's eyes.

"It seems we have found its weakness." Zhao Qi was delighted, and his offensive became more fierce.

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling followed closely behind, constantly launching fierce attacks at the stone beast's eyes.

At this critical moment, Zhao Qi felt a strong desire to survive.

He stared firmly at the stone beast in front of him, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of the mystery contained in the sword in his hand.

This sword was given to him by his master before his death. It is said that it contains powerful power, but Zhao Qi has never been able to understand its secret.

However, at this moment, he seemed to feel the call of the sword, and a mysterious power surged in his body.

"Everyone, get back!" Zhao Qi shouted, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the stone statue beast.

He held the sword tightly, took a deep breath, and activated the power of the spirit beads in his body. Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the sword, illuminating the entire ruins like daylight. The stone beast seemed to feel the threat. It roared, opened its bloody mouth, and rushed towards Zhao Qi. However, Zhao Qi was not afraid at all. With firm belief in his eyes, he held the sword tightly and faced him.

"Bang!" A loud noise came, and Zhao Qi and the stone statue beast collided hard.

The stone beast's extremely hard body was actually scratched with a deep scar by the sword in Zhao Qi's hand. Zhao Qi was also shaken by the huge impact of the stone statue beast and flew backwards, falling to the ground.

"Wow!" Zhao Qi spat out a mouthful of blood, but regardless of his injuries, he quickly got up from the ground and rushed towards the stone statue beast again. He knew that this was their only chance of survival and he had to do his best.

Seeing this, Yi Wuxiao, Lan Lingling and others also activated the spiritual power in their bodies and launched a fierce attack on the stone statue beast. However, their attacks left no trace at all on the stone beast's indestructible body.

"This is not the way to go!" Lan Lingling said anxiously, "We must find a way to break through its defense."

"Let me try!" Zhao Qi shouted and rushed towards the stone beast again. This time, he did not directly fight the stone beast, but activated the power of the spirit beads on the sword to draw a mysterious spell in the air.

"Boom!" As the spell was completed, a dazzling light shot out from the sword, instantly covering the stone statue beast. The stone beast let out a shrill scream, and the stones on its body began to fall off piece by piece, revealing the core inside.

"It works!" Zhao Qi was delighted and immediately increased his efforts to activate the power of the spirit beads.

The light became more and more dazzling, and the screams of the stone statue beast became more and more sad. Finally, under the full attack of Zhao Qi and others, the core of the stone statue beast was completely destroyed, and the entire body collapsed.

"Huh——" Zhao Qi and others let out a long breath, and the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. They knew that this life and death test was finally over.

"Great, we finally defeated it!" Yi Wuxiao shouted excitedly.

"Thanks to Zhao Qi's sword." Lan Lingling also breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, and his heart was filled with joy. He knew that he could successfully defeat the stone beast this time, thanks to the secret of the sword and everyone's unity and cooperation. At the same time, he also became more convinced of his faith and courage.

They carefully walked around the remains of the gargoyle and continued on.

After the crisis in the ruins was resolved, Zhao Qi and others left the Eye of the Storm with treasures and ancient books. They walked on the winding mountain road, taking every step with extreme caution.

After experiencing the life-and-death battle just now, everyone's face was full of exhaustion, but their eyes shone with determination.

"Finally out!" Yi Wuxiao stretched out and sighed, "That stone statue beast is really difficult to deal with. If you hadn't taken action in time, Brother Zhao Qi, we would have all found out where it was."

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Only by working together can we defeat a strong enemy. My strength alone is limited."

"Having said that, your sword is really powerful." Lan Lingling came over curiously, "Can you let me see it?"

Zhao Qi hesitated for a moment, but still handed the sword to Lan Lingling.

Lan Lingling took the sword and looked at it carefully. I saw that the sword body was emitting a faint light, and it was engraved with complex spells and patterns.

"This sword contains powerful power." Lan Lingling sighed, "However, it seems there is a deeper mystery waiting for you to discover."

Zhao Qi nodded, his heart full of expectations. He knew that this sword would be an important partner in his future adventures.

Everyone continued to move forward and soon came to a dense forest. The trees in the forest are towering and their branches are lush, blocking the sunlight and making the whole forest look particularly quiet.

"There seems to be something wrong here." Lan Lingling suddenly said, "Everyone, be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and a strange atmosphere suddenly filled the forest. Everyone immediately became alert and prepared for battle.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Apart from the occasional chirping of birds and insects, there was no other sound in the forest.

"Are we worrying too much?" Yi Wuxiao said with some doubts.

"No, there must be a problem here." Zhao Qi shook his head and said, "Don't let your guard down and keep moving forward."

After everyone heard this, they had no choice but to move on. However, they didn't go far when they suddenly found a huge stone door in front of them. The stone door is engraved with ancient charms and patterns, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

"Why is there a stone gate here?" Lan Lingling said curiously, "Is it the entrance to another ruins?"

"Unlikely." Zhao Qi carefully observed the charms on the stone door and said, "These charms are different from those in the ruins. They seem to be used to seal something."

"Seal something?" Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, "What could it be?"

"I don't know." Zhao Qi shook his head and said, "But we can try to open it and see."

As he spoke, he activated the power of the spirit beads in his body and launched an attack on the talisman on the stone door. However, Shimen remained motionless and did not seem to be affected in any way.

"This stone gate seems to be indestructible." Yi Wuxiao sighed, "What should we do?"

"Let me try." Lan Lingling said, stepping forward and starting to draw the spell. Although her spell technique is not as powerful as the ancient spells in the ruins, it still has a certain power.

However, no matter what she tried, the stone door remained closed. Everyone fell into deep thought and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from a distance. Everyone immediately became alert and prepared for battle. However, when they saw who was coming, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The visitors were their friends Zhang Youyuan and Qian Wushuang. When they saw Zhao Qi and others, they seemed very happy and ran over immediately.

"Why are you here too?" Zhao Qi said in surprise.

"We are here for adventure!" Zhang Youyuan said with a smile. (End of chapter)
