I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Zhao Qi, Lan Che and their new ally Qing Feng stuck together and moved forward cautiously.

"Something's wrong here." Zhao Qi whispered, frowning, "We seem to have entered a trap area."

Lan Che looked around and saw strange patterns carved on the walls, and some unknown runes scattered on the ground, shining with a faint light. "Are these runes and patterns the mechanism that triggers the trap?"

Qing Feng nodded, "Yes. And looking at the arrangement of these runes, once triggered, it will probably be a devastating blow."

Zhao Qi took a deep breath, "Then we have to be careful. Try to avoid these runes and find a safe route to pass through."

However, this is easier said than done. These runes are densely packed throughout the passage, and it is almost impossible to completely avoid them. The three of them tried several times, but had to return to the starting point.

"This is not the way to go." Zhao Qi said anxiously, "We have to find a way."

Lan Che and Qing Feng looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Although their cultivation level is not low, they are helpless in the face of such a trap.

Just then, a faint sound of wind came. Zhao Qi immediately raised his head alertly and saw a black shadow passing over his head and landing on the wall in front of him.

"What is that?" Lan Che asked in surprise.

Zhao Qi and Qing Feng both shook their heads and said they didn't know. They carefully observed the situation around the stone gate and found that there were no obvious mechanisms or runes.

"Do you want us to push open this stone door directly?" Qing Feng asked tentatively.

It has a pair of crystal clear wings, and its body shows a faint golden light. At this moment, it was looking at the three of them curiously with a pair of green bean-sized eyes.

He pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I thought of it! The test of this stone gate should not be strength, but wisdom!"

"No, that's not the case." Zhao Qi shook his head, "We should use our soul power to sense the runes on the stone gate."

He tried to send a friendly signal to the golden-winged spiritual butterfly. The spiritual butterfly seemed to feel his kindness, flapped its wings and flew to his shoulder.

Zhao Qi smiled slightly and said, "You will know it just by looking at it."

Zhao Qi's heart moved, "Golden Winged Spirit Butterfly? Is it the guardian of the maze?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and pressed it on the stone door again. This time he did not use any magic or force to force open the stone door, but used his soul power to sense the runes.

"This is... the golden-winged spirit butterfly?" Qing Feng recognized the identity of this monster beast, "Why is it here?"

Lan Che and Qing Feng both showed curious expressions, "What is the puzzle?"

However, just when they breathed a sigh of relief, a new problem appeared ahead.

Zhao Qi took a closer look and found that it turned out to be a small and exquisite monster.

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and felt the runes hidden on the surface of the stone door with his heart. After a while, he opened his eyes with a confident smile on his face.

Lan Che and Qing Feng both showed expressions of surprise. With the guidance of the Golden Winged Spirit Butterfly, they quickly found a safe route and passed through the trap area smoothly.

"It seems we have found a guide." Zhao Qi said with a smile.

Zhao Qi shook his head, "It's unlikely. This stone gate seems to weigh at least a thousand kilograms, and we can't push it open with our strength alone. And if it can be passed so easily, it's not a test."

As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and pressed it on the stone door. Immediately afterwards, he used his magic power and injected it into the stone gate. However, Shimen remained motionless and seemed to have no reaction.

"What is this test?" Lan Che asked doubtfully.

A huge stone door blocked their way. There was a line of words engraved on the stone door: Only those who pass the test can enter the next level.

"I understand! These runes are actually a puzzle. Only by solving the puzzle can this stone door be opened."

As his induction became deeper and deeper, the runes began to light up one by one, eventually forming a complete pattern.

Immediately afterwards, there was a slight sound of a mechanism, and the stone door opened with a bang. The three people's eyes suddenly lit up, and they saw a passage leading to the next level appeared in front of them.

"Great! We succeeded!" Lan Che patted Zhao Qi's shoulder excitedly.

Qing Feng also praised: "Brother Zhao Qi is so smart! He can solve such riddles."

Zhao Qi smiled, "Actually, it's nothing. As long as you feel and think with your heart, there is no unsolvable puzzle."

The air inside the maze seemed to be getting thicker and heavier, and every breath was like fighting against unknown fear.

Zhao Qi, Lan Che and Qing Feng clung to the wall and moved forward cautiously. They had solved several puzzles, but the passage in front of them gave them an unprecedented sense of oppression.

"Something's wrong here." Zhao Qi whispered, frowning. He felt that there seemed to be some kind of murderous intention hidden in the surrounding walls. Once triggered, the consequences would be disastrous.

Lan Che also felt something unusual. He stretched out his palm and gently touched the wall.

"There are weak energy fluctuations on these walls, we have to be careful."

Qing Feng nodded, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. "It seems that we are close to the core area of ​​the maze, and the traps here will definitely be more deadly."

As soon as he finished speaking, a piercing scream suddenly sounded, and the three people immediately raised their heads alertly.

A hole suddenly opened in the ceiling, and countless sharp arrows shot out, heading straight for them.

"Get out of the way!" Zhao Qi shouted, and instantly moved aside. Lan Che and Qing Feng also reacted quickly and used their own body skills to avoid the sharp arrow attacks.

However, this is just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, raging fire suddenly erupted from under the floor, and several cold lights shot out from the wall.

The three of them fell into a dangerous situation, and they would die if they were not careful.

"These traps are too powerful! We have to find a way to break them!" Lan Che shouted loudly while avoiding the attacks.

Zhao Qi frowned, his brain working rapidly, trying to find a way to break the trap.

However, these traps seem to be carefully designed, and the triggering mechanism is extremely complicated. A little carelessness can lead to greater disasters.

"It seems that we have divided our work and cooperated." Qing Feng said in a deep voice.

"Brother Zhao Qi, you are responsible for cracking the trap; Brother Lan Che, you are responsible for guarding the surroundings; I will be responsible for responding to sudden attacks." Zhao Qi nodded, "Okay! You be careful!" As he said that, he sat cross-legged On the ground, he began to close his eyes and meditate. he
His fingers moved rapidly in the void, seeming to be calculating something.

Lan Che and Qing Feng stood on his left and right sides respectively, watching the movements around him vigilantly.

Their hearts are filled with tension, but they also know they must remain calm and trusting at this moment.

Time passed by minute by second, and fine beads of sweat broke out on Zhao Qi's forehead. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility. If the crack failed, all three of them might die.

Finally, after some painstaking calculations and reasoning, Zhao Qi suddenly opened his eyes with a joyful smile on his face.

"I found it! The triggering mechanisms of these traps are all related to each other. We only need to destroy one of the key points to make them all ineffective!"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the wall to observe it carefully for a while. Then he suddenly stretched out his palm and used all his magic power to slam it against the wall.

With a loud noise, the energy fluctuations on the wall disappeared instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the hole in the ceiling slowly closed, and the flames on the floor gradually extinguished. The entire passage returned to calm again.

Zhao Qi smiled and said that he took the lead and walked forward. Lan Che and Qing Feng looked at each other and smiled and immediately followed. They knew that under the leadership of Zhao Qi, they would be able to get out of this maze smoothly.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps from the other end of the passage. Immediately afterwards, a group of ferocious-looking monsters rushed out of the darkness and headed straight for them.

"No! It's a monster in the maze!" Lan Che exclaimed.

Qing Feng immediately pulled out the long sword in his hand and prepared to fight. However, Zhao Qi suddenly opened his eyes, with a trace of determination on his face. "You guys go away! I'll stop them!"

As he spoke, he stood up suddenly, clenched his hands into fists, and a powerful aura burst out from his body.

His robes moved automatically in the absence of wind and made a hunting sound, as if the god of war had descended.

Lan Che and Qing Feng looked at each other and immediately understood Zhao Qi's intention. They no longer hesitated, turned around and rushed towards the stone gate.

Zhao Qize stood there, facing the charging monsters. His eyes revealed endless determination and courage!
A life-and-death battle unfolds in the maze. Zhao Qi relied on his amazing potential and courage to fight with the monsters, buying time for his companions to escape.

Each of his punches and kicks contained powerful power, causing monsters to fall at his feet.

However, there are too many monsters, and they seem to be endlessly pouring out of the darkness. Zhao Qi suffered many injuries on his body but he still insisted on not taking a step back.

Finally, at the most critical moment, Lan Che and Qing Feng successfully broke the seal of Shimen and escaped from danger.

They looked back and saw Zhao Qi still fighting against the monster, his figure looking so lonely and firm in the darkness.

"Brother Zhao Qi!" Lan Che and Qing Feng shouted in unison, their hearts filled with respect and gratitude. They knew that it was Zhao Qi who took his own life and gave them a glimmer of hope.

"Run!" Zhao Qi shouted, speeding through the passage of the maze like the wind.

His face was full of solemnity, and his eyes showed unprecedented determination.

Lan Che and Qing Feng followed closely behind, their faces also filled with nervousness. The scene just now was too thrilling, and they almost stayed in the trap full of murderous intent forever.

There are still faint energy fluctuations on the walls on both sides of the passage, as if telling the story of the thrill just now.

Zhao Qi and others did not dare to stay at all. They knew that only by leaving this area as soon as possible could they have a chance of survival.

However, just as they were running with all their strength, there was a sudden roar from ahead. Immediately afterwards, a huge stone gate fell from the sky, blocking the way.

"No! It's a dead end!" Lan Che exclaimed.

Zhao Qi frowned and looked around quickly, trying to find a way to break the situation. However, the passage in front of him had no other way out except the huge stone door.

"We are trapped." Qing Feng said in a deep voice, "There is a powerful seal on this stone gate, which we may not be able to break with our strength."

Zhao Qi did not speak. He walked to the stone door and carefully observed the seal on it. His heart was filled with anxiety, but he knew that he could not panic at this time and must think calmly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have discovered something. "Look here!"

He pointed to a corner on the stone door and said, "This seal is not perfect. There is a small gap here."

Lan Che and Qing Feng immediately gathered around. They looked in the direction of Zhao Qi's finger and found an inconspicuous gap.

"We can try to start from here." Zhao Qi said, "You guys step back and I will try to break the seal."

As he spoke, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to close his eyes and meditate. His hands moved rapidly in the void, and streams of mana shot out from his fingertips, accurately hitting the gap in the stone door.

As time went by, the seal at the gap gradually became loose. A delighted smile appeared on Zhao Qi's face, and he knew that his method worked.

After going through many difficulties and overcoming countless traps, Zhao Qi, Lan Che and their newly acquainted immortal cultivator Qing Feng finally entered the core area of ​​the maze.

The air here seems to be filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, and every stone and wall seems to be telling a long-standing secret.

"Is this the heart of the maze?" Qing Feng looked around and asked curiously.

Zhao Qi nodded, "Yes, according to the puzzles and clues we solved before, this should be the core of the maze."

Lan Che frowned slightly, as if he sensed something, "Have you ever felt that the energy fluctuations here are particularly strong?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qi and Qing Feng immediately concentrated their attention. Sure enough, they found that the air around them was filled with a rich energy aura.

This breath was completely different from what they had encountered before, purer and more powerful.

"There is indeed a secret here!" Zhao Qi's eyes flashed with excitement, "Let's search carefully and see if we can find anything."

The three of them began to search the surroundings carefully. They dare not be careless in the slightest, for fear of missing any clue.

After a while, Qing Feng suddenly exclaimed: "Come and see this!"

Zhao Qi and Lan Che rushed over immediately after hearing the sound. I saw Qing Feng standing in front of a wall with a huge gem inlaid on the wall. The gem exuded a faint blue light, which complemented the surrounding energy aura.

"This is... a star core?" Lan Che said in surprise. (End of chapter)
