Chapter 357 A New Crisis Emerges
Li Yunfei and his companions followed the clues and finally arrived in front of the ancient castle. The castle was towering into the clouds, with mottled walls, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
Li Yunfei looked up at the castle, feeling an inexplicable awe in his heart. "This is the place we are looking for." His voice echoed in the empty wilderness.
Lin Yue tightened the staff in his hand and said, "It feels like this place is full of danger."
Zhang Hao snorted, "What are you afraid of? I'm here!" As he said that, he strode towards the castle.
The flames in Feng Yu's hands flickered slightly, "Everyone be careful."
Mo Ying followed behind everyone silently.
The castle gate was tightly closed. Zhang Hao walked forward and pushed hard, but the gate didn't budge. "I just don't believe this!" He used all his strength to push the gate again, but it still didn't work.
Li Yunfei stepped forward and said, "Let me try." He pressed the magic weapon against the door and injected power into it. The magic weapon shone brightly, and the door slowly opened. A stale and decayed smell blew in.
Everyone walked into the castle, which was dark and damp, with torches on the walls flickering with a faint light. The ground was covered with dust and cobwebs, as if no one had been here for a long time.
"Be careful, we don't know where the wizard is hiding." Li Yunfei said in a low voice.
They walked forward cautiously, their footsteps echoing in the empty castle. Suddenly, a sinister laugh was heard. "Hahahaha, you're finally here."
Everyone was startled and looked around vigilantly.
A figure slowly walked out of the darkness. It was the wizard who guarded the artifact. He was wearing a black robe, a strange mask on his face, and holding a magic wand in his hand. The tip of the magic wand was flickering with a dark light.
"Do you think you can take the artifact away easily?" The wizard's voice was icy cold.
Li Yunfei took a step forward and said, "We are here to save the world. I hope you can hand over the artifact to us."
The wizard sneered, "Wishful thinking!" As he said that, he waved his wand and a black light shot towards Li Yunfei.
Li Yunfei quickly raised the magic weapon to resist, and the light collided, making a loud noise.
Lin Yue took the opportunity to cast a spell, and beams of light shot towards the wizard. The wizard dodged sideways and waved his wand, and a powerful force pushed Lin Yue back.
Zhang Hao roared and rushed forward, piercing the wizard with his spear. The wizard raised his hand lightly, and an invisible force fixed Zhang Hao in the air.
"Zhang Hao!" Feng Yu exclaimed, and a huge ball of fire was launched from his hands. The wizard calmly blocked it with his magic wand, and the fire dissipated.
Mo Ying waited for his chance in the darkness, and suddenly appeared behind the wizard, stabbing him with his short blade. The wizard seemed to have noticed it, turned around and waved his wand, knocking Mo Ying away.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yunfei launched another attack, and the light on the artifact shone brightly. The wizard was not to be outdone, and the light on his wand competed with the light of the artifact.
There were flashes of light and collisions of power in the castle, and the walls began to tremble.
Wounds gradually appeared on Li Yunfei and others' bodies, but they still did not retreat.
The wizard also began to feel a little tired. He didn't expect Li Yunfei and others to be so tenacious.
"Hmph, even if you can resist for a while, you are no match for me after all," said the wizard.
Li Yunfei gritted his teeth and said, "As long as we have a breath left, we will not give up!"
At this moment, Lin Yue suddenly discovered a flaw in the wizard. "Li Yunfei, attack his left side!"
Li Yunfei understood what he meant, and swung the magic weapon to attack the wizard's left side. The wizard had no time to resist and was hit by the power of the magic weapon, and took a few steps back.
Zhang Hao took the opportunity to break free from his restraints and rushed towards the wizard again.
Feng Yu's flames also attacked the wizard more fiercely.
Mo Ying got up from the ground and joined the battle again.
Under the siege of the crowd, the wizard gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"No, that's impossible!" the wizard roared angrily.
Li Yunfei seized the opportunity, swung the magic weapon with all his strength, and a powerful light shot towards the wizard.
The wizard was enveloped by the light, uttered a scream, and disappeared.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
"Finally defeated him." Zhang Hao said, panting.
"But where is the artifact?" Lin Yue asked.
Everyone began to search for the whereabouts of the artifact in the castle.
They searched every room and finally found a treasure chest emitting powerful power in a secret room.
Li Yunfei carefully opened the treasure chest, and the light of the artifact emanated from it.
"Found it!" Everyone shouted excitedly, their eyes sparkling with joy and anticipation. However, just as they were about to reach out and pick up the artifact, a mysterious and powerful light suddenly flashed from the treasure chest, and then a complex magic circle quickly emerged, tightly enveloping the artifact.
"What's going on?" Feng Yu asked in surprise, with a puzzled look on her face. She had never seen such a strange phenomenon before, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Mo Ying walked forward, staring intently at the magic circle, carefully observing every rune and line. His eyes gradually became serious, "This is a powerful sealing magic circle. It seems that someone doesn't want us to get this artifact easily."
Li Yunfei frowned and said firmly: "No matter what, we have to try. This is our mission, and we can't back down because of difficulties."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Li Yunfei's point of view. They decided to face this challenge together and try their best to unlock the magic circle and obtain the artifact. So, everyone began to discuss strategies and try to find a way to crack the magic circle.
Some suggested using special spells to break the magic circle; some suggested looking for relevant clues or hints; others thought that they needed help from other forces. After some discussion, they finally decided on several plans and decided to act separately.
Some people are responsible for studying the structure and rules of the magic circle, trying to find flaws by interpreting the runes; others are looking for possible clues, hoping to find the key to dissolving the magic circle. At the same time, some people take the initiative to seek support and cooperation from other forces to increase the possibility of success.
Everyone began to try to crack the magic circle.
Lin Yue used her knowledge of magic and kept trying to lift the seal of the magic circle.
Zhang Hao and Feng Yu were guarding attentively, scanning everything around them vigilantly, ready to deal with any possible dangers at any time. Mo Ying stood quietly at the side, frowning, his brain working rapidly, thinking about how to find a way to crack this powerful magic circle.
As time went by, everyone felt the pressure as heavy as a mountain, and their foreheads were covered with fine beads of sweat. However, no one gave up, and everyone firmly believed that as long as they persisted, they would be able to find a way to solve the problem.
Finally, after a long wait, the light of the magic circle began to gradually fade. "It's almost successful!" Lin Yue shouted excitedly, her voice full of anticipation and excitement. When everyone heard this, a surge of hope suddenly surged in their hearts. They knew that they were only one step away from success.
Just when everyone thought that the magic circle was about to be cracked, there was a sudden violent tremor in the castle. This tremor seemed to come from deep underground, carrying endless power, and instantly spread throughout the castle. Everyone looked around in amazement, not knowing what was happening. Then, cracks began to appear on the walls, ceiling, and floor of the castle. These cracks spread rapidly, as if the entire castle was about to collapse.
"Oh no, there may be new dangers!" Li Yunfei said.
