Chapter 364 Ancient Library
Chapter 364 Ancient Library
The three of them continued to go deeper into the heart of the ancient library, and every step seemed to be stepping on the dust of history. The air around them became heavier, as if an invisible hand was pulling at the corners of their clothes, preventing them from moving forward.
"Why does this place feel more and more wrong?" There was a hint of trembling in Tong Luoluo's voice. She stuck close to Ye Wuhen, her eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, afraid to miss any hint of danger.
Ye Wuhen gently patted the back of her hand, trying to comfort her. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. We'll face this together."
Rong Yu walked in front, the gem in his hand emitted a soft light in the dim environment, lighting the way forward for them. His eyes were firm, as if he was ready to face all the unknowns.
"Everyone, be careful. There may be some kind of mechanism or trap hidden here." Rong Yu warned in a low voice, his eyes moving quickly between the bookshelf and the ground, trying to find possible sources of danger.
At this moment, a low roar suddenly sounded in the library, as if something had awakened deep underground. The three of them immediately stopped and looked nervously towards the source of the sound.
"What is that?" Tong Luoluo's voice was full of fear. She held Ye Wuhen's hand tightly, as if she was afraid of being separated by some unknown force.
"I'm not sure, but it sounds like some huge creature is moving." Ye Wuhen replied, his eyes scanning the surroundings sharply, trying to find the source of the sound.
Rong Yu tightly grasped the gem in his hand, and he felt a strong resonance and vibration. He knew that this sound might be inextricably linked to the gem in their hands and this unknown world.
"We have to leave here quickly, this place is not safe." Rong Yu said in a low voice. He motioned for the two to follow him and prepare to escape to the exit of the library.
However, just as they were about to leave, a huge figure suddenly rushed out from the shadow of the bookshelf and blocked their way. It was a giant several meters tall, emitting a faint blue light, and his eyes were like two burning flames, staring at them closely.
"Who... are you? Why are you here?" The giant's voice was like thunder, causing pain in the eardrums of the three people.
Rong Yu suppressed his fear, straightened his back, and answered loudly: "We are travelers who have strayed here and don't know where this place is. Please let us go."
However, the giant did not respond to his request. It just stared at the gem in their hands, as if that was what it really cared about.
"That gem... was it brought by you?" There was a hint of greed and desire in the giant's voice.
Rong Yu held the gem tightly in his hand. He knew that this gem might be their only hope and support. He shook his head and said firmly: "No, this gem was found by us in this world. It does not belong to you."
When the giant heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He took a step forward, and his huge palm seemed to want to catch all three of them in one fell swoop.
"Since you refuse to hand over the gems, don't even think about leaving here!" The giant's voice was like thunder, shaking the entire library.
The three of them immediately became alert, knowing that this battle was inevitable. Rong Yu held the gem tightly in his hand, ready to deal with the giant's attack; Ye Wuhen stood in front of Tong Luoluo to protect her from harm; and although Tong Luoluo was shaking with nervousness, she also held Ye Wuhen's hand tightly, ready to face this crisis together.
At this moment, Rong Yu suddenly remembered something. He looked at the gem in his hand, and a bold idea came to his mind.
"Maybe... we can use this gem to subdue this giant." Rong Yu whispered. He looked at the two of them with a determined light in his eyes.
Ye Wuhen and Tong Luoluo immediately understood what he meant when they heard this. They nodded and prepared to cooperate with Rong Yu's actions.
Rong Yu took a deep breath, and tightly grasped the gem in his hand, pouring all his strength and will into it. Suddenly, the gem burst into a dazzling light, as if it resonated and confronted with the giant's power.
Seeing this, the giant's eyes flashed with fear and uneasiness. It seemed to sense the powerful force contained in the gemstone and began to retreat and hesitate.
At this moment, Rong Yu suddenly shouted: "Ye Wuhen, Tong Luoluo, are you ready? We have to subdue this giant together!"
The two men immediately responded, "We're ready!" They clenched their fists, ready to attack together with Rong Yu.
The gem in Rong Yu's hand suddenly burst into a strong light, illuminating the entire library like daylight. Under the illumination of this light, the giant began to become weak and powerless. It tried to resist and struggle, but it was no use.
Finally, with the joint efforts of the three, the giant was finally subdued and fell to the ground. The fire in its eyes gradually went out, and its body gradually became transparent and dissipated.
When everything returned to calm, the three looked at each other and saw the surprise and excitement in each other's eyes. They knew that they had successfully resolved the crisis.
"We... succeeded!" Tong Luoluo shouted excitedly. She held Ye Wuhen's hand tightly, as if she wanted to share this joy with him.
Ye Wuhen also smiled. He looked at Rong Yu, his eyes sparkling with admiration and gratitude. "Thanks to you, Rong Yu. If you hadn't thought of using the gem to subdue the giant, we might have died here a long time ago."
Rong Yu shook his head. He looked at the two of them and said firmly, "No, this is our joint effort and achievement. Only by uniting as one can we overcome all difficulties."
After saying that, he led the way to the exit of the library, ready to continue looking for the way home.
The two followed closely behind, knowing that in this adventure, only by relying on and trusting each other could they go further.
However, just as they were about to leave the library, a mysterious voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
“Congratulations on successfully passing the test.
Now, I will reveal to you the secrets of this world..."
The mysterious voice seemed to have penetrated the barrier of time and space, echoing directly in the minds of the three people, with a majesty and mystery that could not be ignored. The air in the library seemed to freeze at this moment, and even breathing became cautious.
"Test? What test?" Tong Luoluo's voice was full of confusion. She looked around, trying to find the source of the sound, but saw only silence and emptiness.
Ye Wuhen frowned, his intuition told him that this was far from accidental. "It seems that the place we stepped into is more complicated than we imagined. That voice seemed to know our purpose."
Rong Yu seemed relatively calm. He stared at the gem in his hand. After a fierce battle, the gem seemed to contain a deeper light. "No matter what the test is, since we have come this far, there is no way back. We can only move forward and find the answer."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light in the library suddenly changed. The originally dim environment was replaced by beams of soft light. Those beams of light seemed to have life, dancing slowly in the air, and finally converging into ancient patterns.
"This is..." Rong Yu exclaimed in surprise. He recognized those patterns. They were surprisingly similar to some mysterious symbols they had seen in ancient books.
"It seems that ancient wisdom and power are hidden here." Ye Wuhen said in a deep voice, his eyes moving between the light beams, trying to decipher the mystery contained therein.
Although Tong Luoluo felt scared, curiosity drove her to approach the light beams. When her fingers touched them lightly, a warm and strange energy flowed through her body, making her close her eyes involuntarily and immerse herself in an inexplicable pleasure.
“Do you feel it? This is the gift of knowledge and wisdom.” The mysterious voice sounded again, and this time, it seemed to carry a hint of tenderness and encouragement.
When Tong Luoluo opened her eyes, she was gleaming with an unprecedented light. "I... I seem to understand these symbols! They tell about an ancient world, and..."
"And what?" Ye Wuhen asked anxiously. He felt the change in Tong Luoluo's mood and knew that she might have found a key clue.
"And... a gem that can lead us home!" Tong Luoluo said excitedly, her fingers gesturing in the air, trying to depict the appearance of the gem.
"Are you sure? Why do I feel it's a little unreliable? I think this thing is dangerous?" Ye Wuhen said! He is now very cautious!
