Chapter 225 New Clues and Crisis
After leaving the city shrouded in darkness, Shen Mo and his companions continued to travel around, helping those who were invaded by evil forces. Their reputation became more and more famous, and they became heroes in people's minds.
One day, when they were resting in a small town, they met a mysterious old man, who was wearing a shabby robe, with gray hair, but his eyes showed a deep wisdom.
"Are you that brave team?" the old man asked in a hoarse voice.
Shen Mo nodded, "Old man, what can I do for you?"
The old man lowered his voice and said: "I know some secrets about the dark power, maybe it will be useful to you."
Everyone immediately became interested and invited the old man to a quiet room.
The old man said slowly: "In the far north, there is an ancient ruin. Legend has it that there is a source of powerful dark power hidden there. If it is not sealed, evil will rise again."
"Where is the relic?" Qingfeng asked anxiously.
The old man took out a worn map, pointed to a mark on it and said, "It's right here, but the road is difficult and full of unknown dangers."
Shen Mo took the map and said after thinking for a moment: "No matter how dangerous it is, we must go."
Everyone agreed, so they prepared their supplies and set off according to the instructions on the map.
Along the way, they passed through dense forests and crossed steep mountains, and Lin Yuwei discovered some strange traces of magic along the way.
"These traces seem to be pointing to something." Lin Yuwei said.
The female general frowned: "Maybe someone left it here on purpose. Be careful of traps."
Sure enough, when passing through a narrow valley, many huge rocks suddenly rolled down from the mountains on both sides.
"Everyone be careful!" Shen Mo shouted loudly.
Everyone dodged, but some soldiers were still injured.
"This is an ambush!" Qingfeng said angrily.
Just then, a group of masked enemies rushed down the mountain and attacked them.
Shen Mo and others fought back and after a fierce battle, they finally repelled the enemy.
"Who are these people?" Su Yao asked puzzledly.
Shen Mo looked at the direction the enemy left: "No matter who they are, they can't stop us from moving forward."
Continuing on, they came to a swamp, which was filled with poisonous fog and could easily lead to quagmire.
Lin Yuwei used a magic tool to detect a safe path, and everyone followed her carefully.
Suddenly, a huge swamp monster jumped out of the mud and pounced towards them with its bloody mouth wide open.
"Everyone disperse!" shouted the female general.
Shen Mo raised the artifact and rushed towards the monster. Qing Feng and other warriors followed and fought a desperate battle with the monster.
After a hard fight, the monster was finally killed.
They continued to move forward and finally came to the ruins marked on the map. The door of the ruins was closed and surrounded by mysterious runes.
"This looks difficult to enter." Su Yao said.
Shen Mo observed for a while and said, "Lin Yuwei, can you decipher these runes?"
Lin Yuwei walked forward, studied the runes carefully, and then began to cast a spell.
With her efforts, the door slowly opened, and a strong dark aura rushed towards them.
"Be careful!" Shen Mo said.
They walked into the ruins, which were filled with dark energy and had strange lights flickering on the walls.
"It feels evil here," Qingfeng said.
Just then, they heard a low laugh.
"Who?" Shen Mo asked vigilantly.
A dark figure walked out from the darkness. "How dare you break in here? You are really courting death."
"Who are you?" asked the female general.
The black shadow sneered: "I am the guardian of darkness. You can't seal the power here."
As he spoke, the shadow launched his attack.
Shen Mo and others started a fierce battle with the black shadow...
