Chapter 135 Tracing the Fragrant Grass 3
Several days later, the group reunited in Fresh Valley. Everyone looked exhausted.
It was clearly a difficult journey, but his eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.
The group sat solemnly and steadily in a wide, flat area.
They exchanged solemn and cautious glances, all eager to share their experiences and valuable achievements during this period.
Before long, the atmosphere became solemn and dignified, with various sounds mingling together, as if playing a deep and powerful melody.
Some people, with solemn expressions, vividly recounted their arduous journey of gathering information, their expressions and actions resembling the telling of an epic adventure story.
Others, with calm expressions, described in detail the thrilling battles they encountered when facing formidable enemies.
Those who heard it were sometimes so tense they held their breath, and at other times they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
After intense discussion and thorough analysis, relying on the intricate clues at their disposal, the group finally managed to slowly sketch out a clear picture.
An important conclusion was drawn: the precious herb required for shamanistic sacrificial rituals is called Xiangjiancao.
It is highly likely that it is hidden on a distant, unreachable overseas fairy island, or buried deep within mysterious ancient ruins.
Faced with this momentous discovery, everyone fell into deep thought. After discussion, they decided to first explore the ancient ruins that were relatively close by.
It is said that this ancient site is like a pearl abandoned in the long river of time, buried deep in a vast, desolate desert.
The wind there howled like a madman, with sand and stones flying everywhere. The environment was more severe than imagined. The sand hitting your face felt like being hit by small stones.
But beneath this seemingly desolate desert lie countless unknown secrets and innumerable treasures.
Like a mysterious treasure, waiting for the right person to unveil its secrets.
So everyone set off for the ruins. They encountered some difficulties along the way, but they were all overcome by working together.
When everyone finally arrived at the entrance to the ruins, they hadn't even had a chance to properly explore this mysterious place.
An overwhelming force of restriction surged forth like a tidal wave, crashing heavily into everyone's hearts.
Dugu Lin's eyes widened, as if two raging flames were burning within them. His spiritual energy surged like boiling water, and his body shone brightly, like a dazzling star that had suddenly erupted.
He clenched his fists and swung them forward with a sudden motion, as if he were about to break the restriction with a single punch.
As it turned out, reality was like a bucket of cold water, drenching him completely.
His all-out attack not only failed to have any effect, but was also forcefully rebounded by an invisible, enormous force, causing him to stagger back several steps like a sandbag that had been knocked away.
Just then, a strange and piercing laugh suddenly came from not far away.
Everyone turned around and saw that it was those silly men in black from before. They had no idea where they had come from or when they had followed them here.
They were standing there gesticulating wildly, their movements exaggerated like a clown's act, pointing and shouting at the barrier.
They were also chanting some nonsensical slogans, such as "Go for it, ban! Defeat them!"
"Charge! Break through the barrier! Let them know what's what!" or similar slogans.
It's like cheering for the ban, or performing a farcical comedy.
They're such carefree idiots, it's both infuriating and hilarious. I really don't know how their brains work.
Just as those silly men in black were cheering for the ban...
Unlike others who act impulsively, the meticulous Hua Yeqing was very clear-headed.
Acting rashly might cause trouble, and then you'll have nowhere to turn to for help.
So the girl stood frozen in place, as if under a spell, her eyes wide open like saucers.
She scanned her surroundings intently, so focused that not even a mosquito could escape her notice.
Time ticked by, and everyone was getting increasingly impatient, as restless as ants on a hot plate.
Just when everyone was about to lose patience, Hua Yeqing's sharp, eagle-like eyes suddenly spotted some ancient runes on the walls and the ground.
These runes are like twinkling stars in the night sky, sometimes visible and sometimes invisible, exuding a mysterious and alluring aura.
Hua Yeqing was overjoyed and quickly went over to take a closer look. The runes shimmered with a faint light, as if every line and every stroke held a profound and perplexing secret.
Hua Yeqing frowned, lost in deep thought.
With his in-depth research into runes and his own little talent, Hua Yeqing began to try to decipher the information conveyed by these ancient symbols, preparing to solve the troublesome restriction in front of him.
After racking his brains and constantly touching and probing, Hua Yeqing finally found the key to the restriction.
As she changed her hand seals, the originally dazzling light on the restriction began to dim, like a deflated balloon.
Seeing this, everyone grinned from ear to ear, and carefully followed behind Hua Yeqing.
Like a group of sneaky little mice, they stepped into this mysterious and unsettling ruin, ready to embark on a mysterious adventure.
As soon as I stepped into the ruins, a chilling wind howled through me.
The feeling was like being suddenly grabbed by the neck by an invisible icy hand, making one shiver all over and teeth chatter.
The entire space was as black as the bottom of a pot that had been splattered with ink, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe, as if a heavy stone was pressing down on one's chest.
Only the eerie light that flickered occasionally on the walls, like will-o'-the-wisps, added to the terrifying atmosphere of the place.
It felt like stepping into a legendary haunted house; you had to be careful with every step, afraid that something scary might suddenly appear behind you.
Suddenly, without warning, the ground began to shake violently as if having a seizure, with a deafening rumble that nearly deafened people.
Immediately afterwards, a group of stone golems emerged from the ground with a "whoosh," like stone monsters crawling out of the earth.
These stone golems were ridiculously huge, their entire bodies made of hard stone, and their arms were as thick as trees that would take several people to encircle.
The force with which he swung his fist was so powerful it felt like he could smash a mountain into a crater, sending chills down your spine just watching.
Dugu Lin was seen gripping the long sword, which gleamed with a cold light so bright it could blind the eyes, tightly in both hands.
He shot out like a gust of wind, heading straight for the stone golem. His speed was comparable to lightning.
