Chapter 102 The Secret of the Ruins

After learning that the underground ruins may be related to the conspiracy of the Black Dragon Cult, Qin Feng and his partners decided to explore in depth to uncover the secrets hidden in it. They knew that this mission was of great importance and they had to go all out.

After some discussion, the Lord of Tieshan City decided to send an elite team to the underground ruins for further exploration. Qin Feng, Ye Li, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng were designated as the core members of this team, responsible for leading the team to go deep into the ruins and find out the truth.

"This operation is very dangerous, you must be careful." The Lord of Tieshan City said solemnly.

"We will be careful and make sure we complete the mission." Qin Feng replied firmly.

Before departure, everyone made detailed preparations, not only bringing enough supplies, but also preparing various tools and weapons to deal with emergencies.

"We may encounter many unknown dangers in this mission, so everyone must be vigilant." Ye Li reminded, and her Frost Fox was ready for battle.

Chu Tianze adjusted the Storm Wolf's equipment while saying, "Don't worry, we will definitely figure out the tricks of the Black Dragon Cult this time."

Zhang Meng patted Qin Feng on the shoulder and said, "No matter what dangers lie ahead, we will fight side by side."

The team was ready to go, and then entered the underground ruins in the Black Iron City. As they went deeper, the environment in the ruins became more and more strange. The walls were engraved with ancient runes, and the air was filled with a cold breath.

"These runes seem to be conveying some kind of information." Ye Li said as she observed.

Qin Feng also noticed that these runes were very similar to those they had seen in the Black Dragon Cult’s stronghold before. They seemed to be some kind of ancient writing used to record important secrets.

"We have to figure out the meaning of these runes." Qin Feng said in a deep voice, and then ordered the team to move on.

As they went deeper, the environment inside the ruins gradually changed. The originally flat passage became rugged, and some strange statues began to appear on the surrounding stone walls. The images of these statues were distorted, and seemed to express some kind of pain.

"These statues look very unusual, as if they are bound by some force." Chu Tian said after careful observation.

Ye Li said: "These statues may be related to the rituals of the Black Dragon Cult. We must be careful."

Finally, they came to a huge stone gate, which was engraved with complex runes and emitted a faint light.

"It seems that this is the core area of ​​the ruins." Qin Feng said in a low voice, and then ordered the stone door to be opened.

When the stone door slowly opened, a strong dark aura rushed in. Qin Feng and others quickly entered a state of alert, with their weapons ready to deal with any emergency.

After entering the stone gate, they found themselves in a huge underground hall. In the center of the hall was a tall altar, on which was suspended a black crystal, which emitted a strange light, as if it was swallowing up the surrounding light.

"This is very similar to what we saw at the Black Dragon Cult's stronghold." Ye Li frowned and said, obviously realizing the importance of this crystal.

Qin Feng carefully observed the area around the altar and found that the surrounding walls were engraved with ancient runes. These runes seemed to be constantly changing, as if recording some kind of information.

"We have to figure out the meaning of these runes. Maybe we can find the key to the Black Dragon Cult's conspiracy." Qin Feng said in a deep voice, and then ordered the team to investigate.

During the investigation, Chu Tian suddenly discovered a secret entrance next to the altar, which seemed to lead deeper underground.

"Should we go in and take a look?" Chu Tian asked, obviously curious about this entrance.

Qin Feng thought for a moment and decided to continue exploring. "Now that we have found the entrance, we have to figure out where it leads to."

After entering the secret entrance, Qin Feng and the others found themselves in a huge cave. The rock walls around the cave were inlaid with countless gems, which emitted a faint light, making the entire cave look like a dream.

"This seems like a treasure house." Zhang Meng exclaimed, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Ye Li observed them carefully for a while, then said: "These gems may be carriers of some kind of energy. They seem to have some connection with the crystals on the altar."

Qin Feng nodded in agreement, "It seems that this place hides important secrets, we must be careful."

As they continued to move forward, they suddenly felt a strong energy fluctuation. Then, a low roar came from deep in the cave, as if some huge creature was waking up.

"What's that sound?" Chu Tian asked vigilantly.

Qin Feng immediately ordered the team to enter combat mode, "No matter what it is, we must be prepared."

As the roaring sound got closer, a huge figure suddenly appeared in the depths of the cave. It was a dragon-like creature, covered with black scales, with red eyes, and was obviously full of hostility.

"This monster is obviously not an ordinary creature." Ye Li felt a chill, and her frost fox also let out a low roar, ready to fight at any time.

"It seems we have to deal with this big guy first." Qin Feng gave the order decisively and then launched an attack with the team.

Facing the attack of the giant beast, Qin Feng and his companions launched a fierce battle. The giant beast was extremely powerful, and every time it swung its claws, it would bring about a strong storm, and the surrounding rocks would collapse.

"This thing is too strong!" Chu Tian complained while dodging the attack.

Zhang Meng summoned the Giant Rock Bear to fight the beast head-on. Although the Giant Rock Bear was very powerful, it still seemed a bit struggling in front of the beast.

Ye Li used the frost fox's icy power to try to slow down the beast, but the effect was not obvious. The beast's body seemed to be strengthened by some dark power, and the ice could hardly cause any substantial damage to it.

"We have to find its weakness!" Qin Feng dodged the attacks while carefully observing the movements of the giant beast.

Finally, Qin Feng discovered that the giant beast's eyes seemed to be its weakness. Whenever it was attacked, the red light in its eyes would dim, and it was obviously a vital point that could be attacked.

"Attack its eyes!" Qin Feng shouted, then swung the Dragon Shadow Sword and hit the giant beast's eyes directly.

Under Qin Feng's command, Ye Li, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng also focused on attacking the beast's eyes. Although the beast resisted, its weakness was exposed and it soon fell to the ground under everyone's joint attack.

"It's finally resolved." Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, everyone felt a little tired after this battle.

After defeating the behemoth, Qin Feng and his companions continued to explore the cave. They found a hidden stone chamber deep in the cave, which contained a large number of books and scrolls, which seemed to record some important secrets.

"These books may be the secret archives of the Black Dragon Cult." Ye Li said after flipping through some scrolls, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Qin Feng also carefully looked through some books and found that they recorded a lot of research and experiments on dark forces, which were obviously closely related to the conspiracy of the Black Dragon Cult.

"We have to take these back and give them to the Lord of Tieshan City." Qin Feng decided.

After collecting important information, Qin Feng and others quickly returned to the ground and reported their findings to the Lord of Tieshan City.

After hearing this, the Lord of Tieshan City looked solemn. He realized that the Black Dragon Cult's conspiracy was far more complicated than they had imagined.

"You have done a good job. This information is very important and we must take action immediately." The Lord of Tieshan City said, and then began to deploy new defense measures to deal with the possible crisis.

Although the exploration of the ruins was full of dangers, Qin Feng and others successfully uncovered the secrets and obtained key intelligence. They knew that the real challenge was still ahead, but as long as they united, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.
