I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

As she chanted the spell, a ball of soft light bloomed in her palm and gradually spread to the entire camp, bringing warmth and light to everyone.

The four of them started to get busy, setting up the tent and preparing dinner. Han Feng volunteered to collect firewood, but accidentally fell on his back, causing everyone to laugh.

"Han Feng, are you performing acrobatics for us?" Lu Xueyao teased.

Han Feng got up, dusted himself off, and said with a pretentious smile: "I just want to add some fun to everyone!"

The dinner was a delicious meal cooked by Liu Ruyan using magic. It was delicious and tasty, which greatly increased the appetite of the four people. They sat together and enjoyed this rare quiet time.

"Speaking of which, this expedition was really exciting!" Han Feng exclaimed, "First we crossed the stream, and then we found this relatively flat mountain road. It felt like we were playing a real-life adventure game."

"That's true, but we have to be careful." Lu Xueyao reminded, "After all, we haven't found any clues about the Nine Netherworld Fire yet, and we still have a long way to go."

"The captain is right. We can't let our guard down." Bai Wei agreed. "Also, I always feel that this place is a little weird. We still have to stay alert."

Liu Ruyan asked curiously, "What do you think the Nine Netherworld Fire looks like? Is it scary?"

"Who knows?" Han Feng shrugged. "However, since we are here to find it, we must be prepared to face all difficulties."

The four chatted for a while and then went back to their tents to rest. Lu Xueyao arranged the order of the night watch to ensure that everyone could get enough rest.

As night falls, the mountains are completely silent, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects and rustling of leaves.

The four of them lay in their respective tents, their hearts filled with anticipation and curiosity about the unknown.

Just as the four were about to fall asleep, there was a sudden strange noise.

As the first person to keep watch, Han Feng immediately picked up the sword in his hand vigilantly and walked out of the tent carefully to check the situation.

A dark shadow was seen wandering around the camp, seemingly searching for something. Han Feng was startled. Could it be someone from a rival sect attacking them? He immediately woke up the other three, and the four of them quickly prepared for battle.

However, when the shadow got closer, they found out that it was a lost animal.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other. This false alarm also made them understand the importance of unity and vigilance.

As the night passed, the four fell asleep again. They knew that tomorrow would bring new adventures and challenges.

When the first rays of sunlight in the early morning penetrated the woods and shone on the open ground where the four people were camping, Lu Xueyao was the first to wake up.

She rubbed her eyes and saw something shining in the morning light not far ahead. She immediately woke up the other three people, and everyone walked towards the light source curiously.

As they approached, an ancient ruin gradually appeared before their eyes. The ruins seemed to have been severely eroded by time, and the stone walls were covered with moss and vines, but its former grandeur could still be seen.

The most striking thing is that the stone walls of the ruins are engraved with ancient runes and patterns, and these runes sparkle with mysterious light in the sun.

"Wow, how come there are such ancient relics here?" Liu Ruyan exclaimed, "These runes seem to contain some kind of ancient power."

"Indeed." Lu Xueyao nodded, "Also, I feel that these runes are related to the Nine Netherworld Fire."

"Nine Netherworld Fire?" Han Feng asked curiously, "What is that?"

"It is a mysterious flame in legend." Lu Xueyao explained, "It is said to have great power, but I am not sure what it is. One of the purposes of our expedition is to find clues about it."

"Oh, so these runes might be the clues?" Bai Wei asked.

"That's right." Lu Xueyao said, and began to study the runes carefully. She gently touched the stone wall with her hand, as if she could feel the ancient power.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "Come and see, there is a special pattern here!"

The three of them immediately gathered over and saw a complex pattern where Lu Xueyao was pointing, which was obviously different from the other runes.

"What does this pattern mean?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously.

"I'm not sure either." Lu Xueyao frowned, "But I feel it's very important. We have to study it carefully."

So, the four of them began to carefully search for clues around the ruins. Han Feng suddenly shouted: "Hey, there's a small hole here!"

Everyone gathered around immediately and saw that there was indeed a small hole where Han Feng pointed, and the entrance of the hole was partially blocked by vines.

"What's in here?" Bai Wei asked curiously.

Liu Ruyan joked, "Maybe it's the treasure cave of the ancients!"

Han Feng was eager to try: "How about I go in and take a look?"

"It's better to be careful." Lu Xueyao reminded, "We don't know what dangers are inside."

"What should we do then?" Han Feng asked.

"Let me use magic to detect it first." Liu Ruyan said, and began to chant a spell. A beam of light shot out from her palm and slowly penetrated into the cave entrance.

After a while, Liu Ruyan put away her magic and said with a smile, "It seems to be a secret room inside. There is no danger."

"Great!" Han Feng jumped up excitedly, "Then let's go in quickly!"

So the four of them carefully passed through the cave and entered the secret room. There were some ancient artifacts and books in the secret room, and it was obvious that this was once the residence of an important person.

"It looks like we've found a treasure!" Bai Wei said excitedly.

"Don't be too happy." Lu Xueyao reminded, "Let's take a closer look at these books and artifacts first. Maybe we can find clues about the Nine Netherworld Fire."

So, the four of them began to carefully look through the books and check the artifacts. Suddenly, Lu Xueyao picked up a tattered book and shouted excitedly: "I found it! This book mentions the Nine Netherworld Fire!"

"Really?" The other three immediately gathered around.

Lu Xueyao opened the book and pointed to a paragraph of text and said, "Look, it says here: 'The Nine Netherworld Fire is the flame of the underworld, which has the power to burn everything. Only through a special ritual can it be summoned to come.'"

"Great!" Liu Ruyan cheered, "We finally found the clue!" "But what is this special ritual?" Bai Wei asked curiously.

"Well..." Lu Xueyao frowned and said, "We may need to further study these books and artifacts to find the answer."

Just as the four were immersed in the joy of finding the clue, suddenly a cold wind blew, accompanied by a strange whistling sound.

In the ruins, the dust of history and the footsteps of modern times are intertwined. The four people seem to have traveled back a thousand years ago, feeling the weight of the ancient civilization.

Lu Xueyao, Liu Ruyan, Bai Wei and Han Feng were carefully studying the ancient runes on the wall, trying to unravel the secret of the Nine Nether Fire.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, mixed with an indescribable sense of gloom. Lu Xueyao frowned, sensing an unusual breath.

She was about to remind her companions when she saw a group of ghost soldiers in ancient armor suddenly appear in the depths of the ruins. They had expressionless faces and dull eyes, but they revealed an overwhelming murderous aura.

"Oh my God, what's going on?" Han Feng exclaimed, and the torch in his hand almost fell out of shock.

Liu Ruyan's eyes widened with disbelief: "These...are they the guards of the underworld?"

"That's right. The appearance of the ghost soldiers means that we are close to the entrance to the underworld." Lu Xueyao said in a deep voice, with a trace of solemnity flashing across her face.

Bai Wei tried to make the best of a bad situation and joked, "It seems like we are really going to 'go deep into the underworld' this time. Everyone, get ready for the challenge!"

Just as the four of them were ready to fight these ghost soldiers, the ghost soldiers did not attack immediately, but lined up neatly, as if waiting for something.

This abnormal behavior made the four people even more nervous, not knowing what would happen next.

Suddenly, a ghost soldier who looked like a general walked out of the ghost army, holding a long sword and looking directly at Lu Xueyao and the other three. The four of them felt nervous, was this a signal to start a war?
However, to their surprise, the underworld general suddenly spoke: "Who are you? Why did you trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the underworld?"

The voice was cold and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell. The four looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Lu Xueyao took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, "We are here to look for clues about the Nine Netherworld Fire, and have no intention of offending the underworld."

After hearing what Lu Xueyao said, the Yin soldier general frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

The four of them looked at him nervously, fearing that he would suddenly launch an attack. However, to their surprise, the ghost soldier leader actually waved his hand, signaling the ghost soldiers to retreat.

"Since you didn't break in with bad intentions, I won't hold you responsible." He said coldly, "But you must leave this place immediately and not go any further into the underworld."

Liu Ruyan widened her eyes and said in disbelief, "Did we really disturb something?"

Lu Xueyao's face was gloomy, and her eyes swept across each of the ghost soldiers, trying to find their weaknesses. She knew that any panic at this time might lead to unpredictable consequences.

Bai Wei smiled bitterly and joked: "It seems that we really have to 'dance with ghosts' this time. Everyone, get ready for the challenge!"

The ghost soldiers did not launch an attack immediately, but lined up neatly, as if waiting for some orders.

This abnormal behavior made the four people even more nervous. They knew that there would be a fierce battle next.

Lu Xueyao took a deep breath, slowly drew out the long sword from her waist, pointed the tip of the sword at the group of ghost soldiers, and said in a cold voice: "Get ready for battle, remember, don't disperse, keep the formation!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the four of them immediately entered combat mode. Although they were facing the guards of the underworld, they had no intention of retreating.

On the contrary, there was a determination gleam in their eyes, as if they were ready to face all challenges.

However, just as the battle was about to break out, the group of ghost soldiers suddenly moved.

They did not launch a fierce attack as the four had expected, but instead began to move slowly in a strange formation.

This sudden change made the four people feel stunned, but it also gave them a chance to catch their breath.

"What are they doing?" Han Feng asked puzzledly.

"Not sure, but we can't take it lightly." Lu Xueyao gripped the sword tightly and remained vigilant at all times.

As time went on, the formations of the ghost soldiers became more and more complicated. They seemed to be performing some mysterious ritual, and every movement revealed a strange beauty.

The four of them were stunned and couldn't help but start to doubt whether these ghost soldiers were really aggressive.

Just as the four were lost in thought, the group of ghost soldiers suddenly changed. They raised their weapons and rushed towards the four at an astonishing speed.

At this moment, the four finally understood the true intentions of the ghost soldiers - all their previous actions were just to confuse their opponents, and now, the real battle has just begun!
Faced with the sudden attack, the four responded quickly. They brandished their weapons and engaged in a fierce battle with the ghost soldiers.

Although the number of the Yin soldiers was large and their strength was powerful, the four of them relied on their tacit cooperation and extraordinary skills to fight them off in a short time.

Han Feng jumped up nimbly and pulled out the legendary Liuyun sword from the package on his back. The sword was flashing with cold light, as if it could cut through all the darkness.

A confident smile appeared on his lips, as if he couldn't wait to fight these evil soldiers.

Bai Wei drew her bow and loaded her arrow with lightning speed. Her longbow was made of thousand-year-old wood. As soon as the bowstring was tightened, a fierce aura emanated from it.

Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, searching for weaknesses among the Yin soldiers, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

Liu Ruyan hummed softly and quickly formed seals with her hands. A mysterious power filled the air around them.

She is the magician in the team, controlling the magical power of fire and ice. At this moment, she is brewing an elemental storm, ready to burn these cold creatures to death.

As the captain, Lu Xueyao was not in a hurry to join the battle, but stood aside and observed the situation calmly.

She held an exquisite short sword in her hand, with complex runes engraved on it, which was obviously not an ordinary item. Her eyes wandered across the battlefield, constantly analyzing the situation and giving precise instructions.

"Han Feng, you are responsible for facing them head-on and attracting their attention!" Lu Xueyao ordered loudly.

Han Feng nodded, waving his sword and rushing towards the group of ghost soldiers. His sword skills were extremely sharp, and every swing of his sword carried the force of thunder and lightning. Although the ghost soldiers had no expression on their faces, they were also forced to retreat step by step by him.

"Bai Wei, find the right time to shoot arrows and create chaos for them!" Lu Xueyao continued to command. (End of this chapter)
