The contestant is too old, sister Zhou is crazy

Chapter 894 Encouragement

"Understood!" Allen and Lena looked at each other and rushed in different directions. Allen quickly picked up a few shining gems and some herbs scattered on the ground. Each item seemed to contain extraordinary power. Lena found an ancient box buried in the soil. Inside was an old magic notebook. After flipping through it, it recorded several advanced and powerful forbidden techniques.

"There are so many good things here!" Lena said excitedly, carefully putting away the notebook.

Just as the two were busy, a group of explorers armed with various weapons swarmed in from another entrance. Their goal was also the same treasures, and they were obviously unwilling to share them with Fengliu and his group. The leader glared at Fengliu and his group fiercely and shouted, "Get out of here! These things belong to us!"

Feng Liu responded calmly: "These treasures belong to whoever is able to get them. If you want them, you have to be able to defeat us."

The scene suddenly became tense, and the atmosphere on both sides was tense. Allen and Lena temporarily stopped searching and returned to the team, ready to fight at any time; Mei'er chanted a spell on the side, and a transparent but extremely strong energy shield gradually formed, wrapping all the team members inside.

The leader on the opposite side sneered when he saw this: "If that's the case, don't blame us for being rude! Brothers, go ahead and get rid of these people first."

The battle broke out instantly, with swords flashing and shadows interlaced, and the cave suddenly fell into chaos. However, relying on the defensive barrier set up by Mei'er and Fengliu's excellent command ability, coupled with the mysterious power released from time to time by Yeying, the situation was still under control despite the stalemate.

"Hold on, if we hold on a little longer, we will be able to leave this place with all the treasures!" Feng Liu encouraged loudly.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, the ground suddenly shook more violently, and more rubble fell from the top. Ye Ying's expression changed slightly: "Not good, this ruins is collapsing faster than expected, if it drags on, we will all be buried here!"

Alan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Then... we must retreat immediately! Regardless of whether we get everything or not, at least saving our lives is the most important thing."

Everyone agreed with his point of view and decided to abandon the remaining treasures and move quickly towards the cave exit. Just when they were about to reach a safe place -

"Hey, you really want to run away? Aren't you too naive?" The leader of the enemy team blocked the only way out with a gloating smile, "Don't worry, here, you have no other way out except to become our stepping stone."

Faced with such a desperate situation, Feng Liu took a deep breath and scanned the faces of each of his teammates. "Everyone, are you ready for the final fight?"

Allen clenched the gem in his hand, his eyes shining with determination: "There is no way back, let's fight!"

Lena raised her weapon, pointed the tip of her sword at the leader of the enemy team, and said coldly: "Don't think you can win easily. We haven't shown our true strength yet."

Mei'er quickly finished the last part of the spell, and the defensive barrier became more stable. She gritted her teeth and said, "I will do my best to protect everyone and buy more time!"

Ye Ying stood behind everyone and said in a deep voice: "I can only help you resist for a while, but please believe in your own strength. Everyone can create miracles."

Feng Liu shouted loudly: "That's it, everyone, go all out! Get ready for battle!" After that, he rushed to the enemy team first, the weapon in his hand emitting a dazzling light. At the same time, there were bursts of exclamations from all around, and it was obvious that the onlookers were attracted by this sudden battle.

A bystander opened his mouth in surprise: "Wow, these people are so strong? Even Ye Ying showed up in person. It seems that this battle will be worth watching!"

Another person widened his eyes and said enviously: "It's amazing! I wish I could have such courage and strength. I hope they can win, so that I can see more miracles."

Just when Fengliu was fighting fiercely with the enemy team, Mei'er used the protective function of the barrier to cleverly bounce back several core members who tried to approach. Seeing this, the leader of the enemy team frowned and said, "Humph, I didn't expect these guys to be so difficult to deal with. It seems that we have to get serious..."

Suddenly, a figure in a black robe appeared silently at the entrance of the cave. He watched the fierce battle quietly, his eyes sharp as an eagle. The man in black robe chuckled and turned away, whispering: "Interesting guys, but the real test is still waiting for them. I look forward to seeing your growth and transformation--" As the voice fell, the figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, leaving only an unforgettable breath.

Allen seized the opportunity to attack from the flank, and the gem in his hand instantly burst out with a strong energy wave. "Try this!"

"What a beautiful attack pattern!" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but admire, "Who on earth is this guy? How could he perform such a powerful move?"

Lena took advantage of the situation and moved forward to fight with the enemy, her movements were as agile as a cheetah. She swung the slender and sharp object in her hand and chopped repeatedly, successfully creating a gap in the opponent's defense. "Follow me quickly, leave this to me." She shouted to the team members.

Mei'er quickly cast another spell to open a way out for the team: "Run to the exit now, and escape quickly while the enemy is distracted!"

Just as everyone was about to evacuate, the ground shook violently again. Ye Ying's face was solemn: "Time is running out, hurry up!" She then pushed away several boulders that were blocking the road, "Go ahead, good luck to you."

Everyone rushed towards the exit and finally arrived in front of a narrow passage. Feng Liu looked back at the ruins behind him and Ye Ying who was still fighting, and whispered: "Thank you, Ms. Ye Ying, please take care... We will meet again!"

Ye Ying smiled slightly, without looking back at him: "You're welcome, this is my duty. As for how we will meet in the future, it depends on God's arrangement."

Finally, after a thrilling experience, the group escaped safely; and the hostile forces were forced to give up the pursuit and retreat for self-protection. When everyone finally breathed the fresh air outside again, Fengliu wiped the sweat off his face and turned to his companions: "Today's events have come to an end, but obviously our journey is far from over. What do you think? Where should we go next?"

Lena smiled and replied: "No matter how difficult and bumpy the road ahead is, since everyone survived safely, it means that God has given us the opportunity to move on."

Alan nodded in agreement: "Yes, and I also want to know more about the secrets behind this ruins. Perhaps this experience is just a new beginning."

Mei'er looked at the distant horizon thoughtfully: "That's true... I just don't know what unknown and exciting challenges I will encounter in the days to come."

At this moment, in a hidden corner not far away stood the man in black robe who had appeared before. He watched the whole process quietly and smiled with expectation...

Fengliu looked around and saw that everyone's emotions were gradually calming down, then he slowly spoke: "We are safe for the time being, but the hostile forces will definitely not give up. And... Yeying's words make us realize that this is just the beginning." His words were full of firmness and determination.

Alan looked up at the mottled sunlight in the direction of the cave entrance, his eyes flickering. "Yes, I agree with Feng Liu. If we don't figure out the secret behind this relic, we may face a greater crisis in the future. Now that we are out of danger, we should be more proactive." He said, looking at Mei Er, "Do you feel any special aura? Maybe it has something to do with this place."

Mei'er closed her eyes and quietly sensed the surrounding environment. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said, "There is indeed a very ancient and mysterious power that is faintly calling me from a distance. If I am not mistaken, it should be some kind of seal or protection mechanism, guarding an important secret." When she finished speaking, her face showed an expression of both excitement and worry.

Just as the three were discussing how to deal with the next possible situation, a group of adventurers passing by were attracted. "Oh my God!" One of the tall men said in surprise, "You really made it out alive? It is said that there is a powerful magic defense barrier protecting it, but I didn't expect it to be broken."

Another short man next to him echoed, "Yes, and it is said to be related to some ancient heritage. It seems that they have found some clues?" After hearing this, passers-by around him cast admiring glances. "It's amazing, if only we could have this luck."

Seeing everyone talking around her with such interest, Lena couldn't help but shake her head and said with a smile: "Friends, although exploring the unknown is indeed interesting, what we face is not just treasure, but also many dangers! I hope everyone will act with caution~"

However, this did not reduce the curiosity of the onlookers, but instead aroused their determination to find the truth. "Wow, just listening to this makes my blood boil. I really want to see what the so-called seal looks like," someone said excitedly, "When are you going to go again? Maybe you can take us with you?"

At this time, Mei'er, who had been silent and listening to everyone's conversation, suddenly reminded them, "Actually... this operation was not completely fruitless. Although we were forced to give up most of the treasure at the last minute, I believe that with the information we have now, it is enough for us to find the key item to open the 'seal' or something. But now the most important thing is to rest and collect information."

Feng Liu nodded in agreement and added, "Well, I will make a detailed plan for this issue as soon as possible. But before that, we need to find a relatively safe place to hide from the limelight and avoid unnecessary trouble." At this point, he suddenly thought of something and turned to his companions and said, "By the way, the route we just rushed out will probably be discovered soon. In order to prevent the other party from chasing us, it is best to change the route or use sleight of hand to confuse them..."

Just as several people were discussing the next steps, Alan, who had been quietly standing aside, suddenly changed his expression, pointed his finger in a certain direction and shouted: "Look over there! Something seems to have happened again!"

Following Allen's finger, he saw a man in gorgeous clothes and with a stern face walking slowly towards this place, followed by a group of seemingly powerful subordinates. When this man saw the few people standing not far away talking, he immediately stopped and stared at the group of young people who had just experienced a life-and-death battle with a look that seemed to see through everything...

Just as Fengliu and his friends were preparing to discuss the plan further, Alan's sudden shout instantly drew everyone's attention to the place not far away. The man who was slowly walking towards them was not only dressed in gorgeous clothes, but also seemed to exude an aura that was hard to ignore. The discussion in the crowd was immediately interrupted by this sudden change, and everyone's eyes were focused on this new character.

"Who is that guy? He has such a strong aura, he doesn't look like an ordinary adventurer." A bystander whispered. "Look at the men behind him, each of them is not a simple character. Could he be coming for these people?" Another bystander followed closely and echoed.

Lena reacted quickly and whispered to her companion, "We have to be careful. It looks like they are up to no good."

Feng Liu nodded slightly, his eyes showing vigilance. "It seems that the enemy is coming for us, but the purpose is not clear. Everyone should be prepared. If something unexpected happens, follow the original retreat route."

Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, the man with a stern face spoke. His voice was steady and powerful, as if it could easily penetrate the distance between the crowd: "Hello everyone, I am Raven Graystone. I have heard about what happened here. The fact that you were able to escape from such a dangerous place shows that you are extraordinary."

Allen clenched his weapon tightly and responded, "Excuse me, what is your intention? We don't know each other, do we?"

Raven smiled slightly, his eyes sweeping across everyone's face. "Actually, I wanted to invite you to cooperate. I have also been investigating some clues related to the ruins recently. Perhaps we can share information and explore this unknown land together."

After hearing this proposal, Mei'er looked at her companions with some doubt, "We can consider cooperation... but why would you trust us? You know, we have nowhere to go right now." (End of this chapter)
