Chapter 244 The Conspiracy Approaches (1)
Group traces
It is said that when Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting were fully immersed in the test in the mysterious ruins, a group of conspiracy groups with ulterior motives and evil intentions sneaked into the misty Yunwu Mountain quietly like a group of ghosts in the dark night.
The leader of this conspiracy group, Lu Xiao, was a ruthless and ambitious man. His face was covered in flesh, and his eyes were filled with a chilling sinister and fierce look, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell.
With a wave of his hand, he led a group of ferocious subordinates, who were like a group of wild wolves that had lost their way but were still searching for prey in the misty mountains. They sniffed east and looked west, searching everywhere for the traces of the legendary ruins.
They closely followed the scattered and vague clues that Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting had inadvertently left behind as they traveled through the mountains. They looked like a group of hungry hunting dogs, following the scent step by step and slowly approaching the core area of the ancient and mysterious ruins.
As Lu Xiao walked, he muttered to himself viciously, "Hmph! That 'Secret Book of Heaven and Earth' must be the key to our control over this colorful world and our ultimate dominance. We absolutely cannot let those two ignorant fellows, Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting, get their hands on it first."
The sound was low and hoarse, like an old bellows being pulled with difficulty, and it echoed in the silent and somewhat gloomy mountain forest. When his men heard it, they couldn't help but quicken their pace, and each of them looked nervous and excited.
Their journey into the misty mountains wasn't without its challenges. The ancient ruins, like a thousand-year-old, vigilant guardian, had set up numerous traps and obstacles to protect the terrifying secrets they held.
However, Lu Xiao and his gang had obviously planned this in advance and had done their homework before coming.
In their hands, they held all kinds of strange and ingeniously designed cracking tools. Those tools gleamed with a cold metallic luster under the sunlight, as if showing off to the world their magical power to break through all obstacles, as if they were really the only mysterious key to open the door to the mysterious treasure.
Hidden within this team are several talented individuals with unique skills and abilities.
Look, in front of a narrow passage full of densely packed spike traps, there is a man who is as thin as a stick but has eyes as bright as a night owl.
He first crouched down cautiously, pressing his ear tightly against the dusty ground, and listened attentively to the extremely faint startup sound inside the mechanism. His expression was so focused, as if the whole world was filled with only the movement of the mechanism.
A moment later, he stood up quickly like a spring, his slender fingers accurately pointing to several critical nodes of the trap, and then he shouted to direct his men to use those cracking tools to skillfully insert and pry.
With a sound of metal collision as light as the falling rain, the originally cold and terrifying spike traps were slowly retracted, and a safe passage was revealed before everyone.
Over there, there was an old man with white hair and a face as stern as a stone statue. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, as if he could see through all the hidden things in the world. Those hidden mechanisms covered in mysterious runes seemed like child's play to him.
When everyone was facing a huge stone door emitting a strange blue light and with runes flashing and jumping, the old man walked forward calmly, and his dry fingers gently touched the ancient and mysterious runes on the stone door, muttering to himself, and it was unclear whether he was chanting a spell to break the spell or communicating with the mysterious power in the stone door.
After a moment, he slowly took out several special stones with strange shapes and emitting faint light from his arms as if performing magic, and then firmly embedded them into the cracks of the stones according to a specific direction that was difficult for others to understand.
In an instant, the extremely heavy stone door seemed to be slowly pushed open by an invisible giant hand, and an ancient and mysterious breath, as if from ancient times, blew in the face, making everyone excited and nervous.
As they continued to go deeper into the heart of Yunwu Mountain, they were getting closer and closer to the core area of the ruins where Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting were.
At this moment, the sense of urgency in Lu Xiao's heart was like a surging tide, rushing towards him wave after wave.
He knew clearly in his mind that this life-and-death race against time and the thrilling competition with Ling Xuan for the secret book had entered the most critical and tense stage.
Every step forward cannot afford to make any mistakes; every mechanism or trap encountered must be cracked as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, once Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting obtained the secret book first and successfully escaped from the ruins, their long-planned conspiracy to control the world would really be like a beautiful but illusory soap bubble, completely shattered and disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting's test in the ruins was in full swing and difficult to resolve. They had no idea that this conspiracy group was like a shadow in the darkness, quietly closing in on them step by step.
They had just survived the ordeal of fire and ice, and before they had time to catch their breath, new challenges came crashing down on them like surging waves.
The conspiracy group led by Lu Xiao is about to drop a bombshell, bringing them an even greater and more deadly crisis. This life-and-death struggle between good and evil, centered around the Secret Codex of Heaven and Earth, is about to enter its most thrilling and exciting climax, like a spectacular drama, leaving people anxious and eager for the show.
