Chapter 764 Core

Bai Ye carefully observed the water dragon, and he found that its body seemed to have some connection with the water in the pool. Whenever it attacked, the water in the pool would fluctuate accordingly.

"It seems that its power comes from this pool." Bai Ye whispered, then turned to look at the soldiers, "We have to find a way to destroy this pool to weaken its power."

The soldiers nodded one after another, but how easy is it to destroy such a huge pool?

At this moment, Bai Ye remembered the gem in his hand. He quickly raised the gem high, and then silently recited the ancient spell. As the spell sounded, the gem emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall.

In the light, Bai Ye saw a passage leading to the bottom of the pool. He immediately led the soldiers to dive into the bottom of the pool along the passage.

At the bottom of the pool is a huge cave, which is full of various strange creatures and plants. Those creatures retreated under the light, as if they were afraid of the power from the gem.

Bai Ye led the soldiers through the cave and finally found a huge crystal ball. The crystal ball exuded a soft light, as if it was the energy source of the entire pool.

"That's it!" Bai Ye whispered, and then signaled the soldiers to prepare for the attack.

They approached the crystal ball carefully, and then exerted force at the same time, smashing the weapons in their hands hard at the crystal ball. The crystal ball emitted a dazzling light under the attack of everyone, and then shattered.

As the crystal ball shattered, the entire pool began to turbulent violently. The water dragon also let out a shrill roar, and its body began to become blurred, as if it would dissipate at any time.

"Success!" Bai Ye shouted, and then led the soldiers to quickly leave the bottom of the pool.

When they returned to the hall, the water dragon had disappeared. The water in the pool also became calm and waveless, as if nothing had happened.

The soldiers looked at everything in front of them, and an indescribable joy surged in their hearts. They knew that they had just experienced a life-and-death crisis, but it was this crisis that made them more united and more determined to move forward.

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers, their eyes full of determination and courage. He knew that they were no longer the army that could only escape, they had grown into a real team of warriors.

"Everyone did a good job." Bai Ye whispered, and then continued to move forward with the soldiers.

They passed through traps and dangerous areas one after another, and every step was full of vigilance and uneasiness. However, it was these dangers and challenges that made them cherish each other's lives and friendship more.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front. Bai Ye immediately stopped and signaled the soldiers to be alert. They approached the source of the sound carefully and found that it was a huge stone gate.

The stone gate was carved with complex patterns and runes, and those patterns and runes flashed strangely under the light. Bai Ye looked at the stone gate, and a familiar feeling surged in his heart. He remembered the statues and murals he had seen in that mysterious area before. The patterns on those statues and murals were similar to those on the stone gate, but they were different.

"It seems that we are getting closer and closer to the truth." Bai Ye whispered, and then signaled the soldiers to prepare to open the stone door.

They carefully searched for the mechanism of the stone door, and finally found a small button in an inconspicuous corner. Bai Ye pressed the button, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the depths of the temple.

There were more stone pillars and stone walls on both sides of the passage, and those stone pillars and stone walls were carved with more bizarre patterns and runes. There was a sense of oppression and uneasiness in the air, as if danger would come at any time.

Bai Ye led the soldiers forward cautiously, and their heartbeats echoed in the passage. Every step was full of vigilance and uneasiness, and they knew that there might be more dangers and unknowns hidden here.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front. The sound seemed to come from deep underground, with endless chill and despair. The soldiers stopped and looked nervously in the direction of the sound.

Bai Ye held the weapon in his hand tightly, ready to deal with the impending danger. However, at this moment, a huge figure suddenly rushed out from the end of the passage.

It was a huge dark creature, its eyes flashing with strange light, as if it could see into people's hearts. Its body was covered with thick black scales, each of which flashed with cold light. Its mouth showed sharp fangs, as if it could easily tear everything apart.

The soldiers looked at the dark creature in horror, their heartbeats accelerated, as if they would jump out of their chests at any time. However, under Bai Ye's leadership, they gradually regained their composure and began to look for opportunities to fight back.

Bai Ye carefully observed the dark creature, and he found that its body seemed to have some connection with the surrounding darkness. Whenever it launched an attack, the surrounding darkness would fluctuate accordingly.

"It seems that its power comes from this darkness." Bai Ye whispered, then turned to look at the soldiers, "We have to find a way to destroy this darkness to weaken its power."

The soldiers nodded when they heard this, but how easy is it to destroy such a vast area of darkness?

At this moment, Bai Ye remembered the gem in his hand again. He quickly raised the gem high, and then silently recited the ancient spell. As the spell sounded, the gem emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire passage.

In the light, Bai Ye saw a passage leading to the back of the dark creature. With a thought in his mind, he immediately led the soldiers along the passage to the back of the dark creature.

They approached the dark creature carefully, and then exerted force at the same time, stabbing the weapons in their hands fiercely into the body of the dark creature. The dark creature let out a shrill roar under the attack of everyone, and its body began to become blurred.

At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly remembered the murals he had seen in that mysterious area before. Those murals depicted a mysterious ritual that seemed to be able to dispel the darkness.

"Everyone, stand according to the pattern on the mural!" Bai Ye shouted, and then quickly commanded the soldiers to stand according to the pattern on the mural.

The soldiers took action after hearing this. They stood according to Bai Ye's command, and then silently recited the ancient spell at the same time. As the spell sounded, the air around them began to fluctuate, as if a mysterious power was being awakened.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from their bodies, and the light instantly illuminated the entire passage and completely devoured the dark creature. When the light dissipated, the dark creature had disappeared, leaving only an empty passage.

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers, their eyes full of determination and courage. He knew that they were no longer the army that could only escape, they had grown into a real team of warriors.

"Everyone did a good job." Bai Ye whispered, and then continued to move forward with the soldiers.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front. Bai Ye stopped immediately and signaled the soldiers to be alert. They approached the source of the sound cautiously and found that it was a huge stone door.

The stone door was carved with complicated patterns and runes, which flashed strangely under the light. Bai Ye looked at the stone door and felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He knew that there might be more dangerous and unknown challenges hidden behind this stone door.

However, they had no way out. Bai Ye took a deep breath and signaled the soldiers to open the stone door. They carefully searched for the mechanism of the stone door and finally found a small button in an inconspicuous corner.

Bai Ye pressed the button, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the depths of the temple. On both sides of the passage were more stone pillars and stone walls, which were carved with more strange patterns and runes. There was a sense of depression and uneasiness in the air, as if danger would come at any time.

Bai Ye led the soldiers forward cautiously, and their heartbeats echoed in the passage. Every step was full of vigilance and uneasiness, as they knew there might be more dangers and unknowns hidden here.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front. The sound seemed to come from deep underground, with endless chill and despair. The soldiers stopped and looked nervously in the direction of the sound.

However, this time they did not see any creatures. Not far ahead, a huge crack lay across the passage, hiding the most critical secret of their trip and the most dangerous challenge.

The stone door slowly opened, accompanied by a heavy friction sound, and an ancient and vicissitudes of life came to their faces. Bai Ye and the soldiers stepped into a spacious hall. In the center of the hall was a huge altar, inlaid with various gems, flashing strange light, as if providing power for some unknown ritual.

"Is this... the core of the temple?" A soldier asked in a low voice, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Bai Ye did not answer, his eyes were fixed on a huge black stone tablet in the center of the altar. The stone tablet was engraved with ancient runes, which were different from all the patterns they saw on the road. These runes seemed to contain more profound power.

"Everyone be careful, the most powerful mechanism may be hidden here." Bai Ye reminded in a low voice, and at the same time signaled the soldiers to disperse and form a defensive formation.

At this moment, the gems around the altar suddenly began to glow, and the light became brighter and brighter until the entire hall was illuminated like daylight. As the light increased, the stone tablet on the altar began to rise slowly, accompanied by a low roar, and a huge black hole appeared under the stone tablet, like a portal to another world.

"What is this?" A soldier shouted in horror, and his voice echoed in the empty hall.

Bai Ye stared at the black hole, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart. He remembered that it was mentioned in ancient documents that there was a "boundary gate" hidden in the core of the temple, which could connect different time and space, but the cost of opening it was extremely expensive, and once it got out of control, it would bring a devastating disaster.

"We have to close it!" Bai Ye said firmly. He knew that if the boundary gate was left open, it would not only bring unknown dangers, but also destroy the balance of the entire world.

However, closing the boundary gate is not easy. Bai Ye recalled the records in the literature and knew that he needed to find a specific "seal stone" and place it on the boundary gate to close it.

"Everyone, act separately and find the seal stone!" Bai Ye quickly gave the order, and at the same time he ran to the other side of the altar, where there was a tightly closed stone door. He guessed that the seal stone might be inside.

The soldiers took action after hearing this. They scattered in various corners of the hall and carefully searched every inch of land. Bai Ye pushed the stone door open and found a narrow passage leading to the underground.

The passage was full of various traps and mechanisms on both sides. Bai Ye carefully avoided them and went deeper step by step. With his keen intuition and extraordinary courage, he finally found the legendary seal stone in a hidden stone chamber.

The seal stone is a crystal that emits a soft light. It lies quietly in the center of the stone chamber, as if waiting for the arrival of the destined person. Bai Ye carefully held up the seal stone, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps and shouts suddenly came from the hall. Bai Ye's heart tightened, knowing that the soldiers might be in danger. He didn't have time to think about it, and immediately took the seal stone back along the original path.

When he returned to the hall, the scene in front of him surprised him. It turned out that the soldiers who were originally scattered and searching had gathered together at some point, and opposite them stood a huge monster.

The monster was huge, covered with black scales, and its eyes were like burning flames, revealing endless killing intent. Its mouth showed sharp fangs, as if it could easily tear everything apart.

"Is this... a monster that emerged from the boundary gate?" Bai Ye was shocked. He knew very well how powerful this kind of monster was, and he also knew that they were almost invincible to ordinary soldiers.

However, the soldiers did not retreat. They stood together, facing the monster with firm eyes and weapons in their hands. Their figures looked extremely brave under the light.

"Don't be afraid, let's go together!" A soldier shouted, and then rushed to the monster first.

Other soldiers responded one after another, and they followed closely and launched a fierce attack on the monster. However, the monster's strength was far beyond their imagination. It easily repelled the soldiers' attacks and roared triumphantly.

Bai Ye looked at the scene in front of him, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. He knew that if the boundary gate could not be closed as soon as possible, the monster would become more and more powerful and eventually destroy the entire hall.

"Everyone get out of the way!" Bai Ye shouted, and then rushed to the altar with the seal stone. He cleverly dodged the monster's attack, raised the seal stone high, and prepared to place it on the boundary gate.
