Chapter 376 Guidance
After hearing the mysterious voice, Li Yunfei hesitated. He didn't know whether the owner of the voice was an enemy or a friend, nor did he know what was hidden deep in the castle. But looking at his unconscious companion, he knew he had no choice.
He took a deep breath, carried Lin Yue on his back again, picked up Feng Yu, and walked towards the depths of the castle. The passage of the castle was dark and damp, filled with a foul smell. The torches on the wall were swaying, and the light and shadows swayed on his face, adding a bit of gloom.
Li Yunfei walked carefully, taking every step with extreme caution, fearing that any danger would suddenly strike. His heartbeat was particularly clear in the silent passage, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a tightly closed stone door appeared in front of them. The stone door was engraved with strange symbols, emitting a mysterious power.
"Is this where the sound comes from?" Li Yunfei said to himself.
Just as he was thinking about how to open the stone door, the mysterious voice sounded again: "Put your artifact in the groove of the stone door."
Li Yunfei hesitated for a moment, but finally followed the instructions of the voice. When the artifact was placed in the groove, the stone door slowly opened, and a powerful force surged out from it, sucking him in.
Li Yunfei only felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and when he saw clearly, he found himself in a huge secret room. Various precious treasures and ancient books were placed around the secret room.
"What are these?" Li Yunfei was full of doubts.
At this time, a figure gradually emerged from the darkness. It was an old man in a black robe, his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were deep and sharp.
"Young man, you are finally here." The old man's voice was low and hoarse.
"Who are you? Why do you know I'm here?" Li Yunfei asked vigilantly.
The old man smiled and said, "I am the guardian of this castle, and I have been waiting for someone who can save this world to appear."
Li Yunfei frowned. "Saving the world? What does this have to do with my companions?"
The old man said slowly: "The injuries of your companions can only be cured by the secret treasure in the castle. But to obtain the secret treasure, you must pass a series of tests."
Li Yunfei's eyes were firm, "No matter what the test is, I am willing to accept it."
The old man nodded and said, "Okay, the first test is to find the key to unlock the secret treasure in this secret room."
Li Yunfei began to search carefully in the secret room. He searched every corner, not missing any clues. As time passed, he became more and more anxious.
Suddenly, he found a line of small words engraved on an ancient book: "The key is at the junction of light and darkness."
Li Yunfei fell into deep thought. Where is the boundary between light and darkness?
He looked around, and his eyes finally fell on a corner of the secret room. There was a box shrouded in shadows. He walked over, opened the box, and found a key shining with light.
"Congratulations, you've passed the first test," said the old man.
Li Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief, "What's next?"
The old man smiled slightly, "The next test is not that simple..."
Li Yunfei held the key tightly in his hand and looked at the old man with a firm gaze, ready to face the next test.
The old man raised his hand slightly, and the scene in the secret room suddenly changed. The surrounding walls disappeared, replaced by a dense forest. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming golden beams of light.
"The second test requires you to find a herb called 'Spirit Heart Grass' in this forest. This herb is extremely rare and is guarded by powerful guardian beasts." The old man's voice echoed in this mysterious forest.
Li Yunfei took a deep breath and stepped into this unknown territory. The grass under his feet was soft and moist, leaving deep footprints with every step. The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, mixed with a hint of mystery.
He walked forward cautiously, hearing the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects. The branches swayed gently in the breeze, and occasionally a leaf fell and brushed his cheek.
Suddenly, a low roar came from the front. Li Yunfei's heart tightened, he stopped and clenched the artifact in his hand. A huge white tiger slowly walked out of the woods. Its fur was like snow, and its eyes revealed majesty and ferocity.
Li Yunfei and the white tiger stared at each other. The white tiger opened its bloody mouth and roared again. The sound waves shook the surrounding leaves to fall. Li Yunfei did not retreat. He flashed and rushed towards the white tiger.
When approaching the white tiger, Li Yunfei jumped high, and the magic weapon swung out a beam of light, slashing at the white tiger's head. The white tiger flexibly dodged sideways and stretched out its claws to slap Li Yunfei. Li Yunfei rolled in the air and landed on the branch of a big tree.
The white tiger pounced on the tree fiercely, causing the trunk to shake violently, and Li Yunfei almost fell off. He took advantage of the white tiger's missed attack and attacked again, engaging in a fierce fight with the white tiger.
The white tiger was extremely fast and powerful, and Li Yunfei gradually felt a little tired. But he thought of his unconscious companion and kept stimulating his potential. Sweat soaked his clothes, his breathing became rapid, but his eyes remained firm.
After a hard fight, Li Yunfei finally found the weakness of the white tiger. He used all his strength to stab the magic weapon into the white tiger's abdomen. The white tiger screamed, fell to the ground, and turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
Li Yunfei panted and continued to search for the spiritual heart grass in the forest. The sun gradually set in the west, and the sky gradually darkened. A thin layer of mist filled the forest, making the vision even more blurred.
Li Yunfei was moving forward in the dark, when he suddenly slipped and fell into a bottomless trap. His body fell rapidly, and he was panicking. At the critical moment, he inserted the artifact into the wall of the trap to slow down his fall.
When he finally reached the bottom of the trap, he found that it was surrounded by sharp bamboo sticks. He carefully avoided the bamboo sticks and looked for a way out. The walls of the trap were slippery and difficult to climb.
Li Yunfei thought for a moment and decided to use the power of the artifact. He inserted the artifact into the wall and pried it hard. A stone loosened and fell. He climbed up little by little and finally escaped from the trap.
Li Yunfei was exhausted at this time, but he did not give up. Finally, in a quiet valley, he found a herb emitting a light blue light, which was the Lingxin grass.
He ran over excitedly and was about to pick it when he felt a strong force restraining him. A mysterious figure appeared in front of him, "It's not that easy to take the Spirit Heart Grass!"
Li Yunfei struggled hard and started a contest of strength with the mysterious figure.
After a hard battle, Li Yunfei finally defeated the mysterious figure and successfully picked the Lingxin grass.
He brought the Lingxin Grass back to the secret room and gave it to the old man.
The old man nodded with satisfaction. "Yes, you have passed the second test. Next, there is one last test waiting for you."
Li Yunfei wiped the sweat off his face and said, "No matter what it is, I'm ready."
