Chapter 138 The Final Test

After pushing open the door, Qin Feng and the others entered a spacious room. In the center of the room was suspended a crystal shining with golden light, surrounded by several beams of light, as if it was some kind of protective mechanism.

"Is this the legendary golden crystal?" Su Wan'er asked in a low voice, her eyes full of curiosity.

"It looks like it, but we have to be careful, it may not be that simple." Mingyan said, with a wary tone.

Qin Feng walked closer and observed the crystal carefully: "This crystal seems to contain some kind of huge energy. We must find a way to obtain it."

"However, these light pillars look like some kind of protective barrier. How can we break them?" Liefeng asked puzzledly.

Mingyan thought for a while and said, "Perhaps these light pillars have a specific way to break them. We can try to use symbols to break them."

"Symbols?" Qin Feng frowned. "You mean, the symbols on the stone gate?"

Mingyan nodded: "Yes, I just noticed that there are similar symbols engraved on the wall of this room. Perhaps we can find the connection between them."

They began to search for the symbols in the room, trying to unravel the secret of the protective barrier. Su Wan'er found several important symbols and recorded them.

"These symbols look like a set of codes." Su Wan'er analyzed, "As long as we arrange them in the correct order, we may be able to break the barrier."

"Then let's get started." Qin Feng said, he was full of confidence in his team.

They took some time to arrange the symbols in order around the crystal. As the last symbol fell into place, the beam of light trembled slightly and then faded away.

"Success!" Liefeng shouted excitedly, "We broke the barrier!"

The crystal slowly fell to the ground, and Qin Feng carefully picked it up. He could feel that the crystal exuded a powerful energy, as if it contained infinite power.

"This crystal is the key we have been looking for." Qin Feng said, "As long as we can crack its secret, perhaps we can solve the mystery of the entire forest."

Su Wan'er took the crystal and felt the energy fluctuations in it: "This power is too strong, we have to use it carefully."

"That's right, let's go back and study it first." Qin Feng nodded.

However, just as they were about to leave the room, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the corner and headed straight for Qin Feng!

"There's an ambush!" Ming Yan reacted quickly and immediately stood in front of Qin Feng, blocking the black shadow's attack with the dagger in his hand.

The black shadow was forced to retreat and fell to the ground, revealing its true face - it turned out to be a mysterious man in a black robe, his face covered by a hood, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

"Do you think it's so easy to succeed?" The mysterious man sneered, his voice low and hoarse.

"Who are you?" Qin Feng asked vigilantly.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that this crystal belongs to me." The mysterious man said coldly, "You uninvited guests dare to touch my treasure. You really overestimate your own abilities."

Qin Feng clenched the crystal in his hand and said in a deep voice: "This crystal is not yours. It belongs to this world, and we are its guardians."

"Guardian? What a joke!" The mysterious man sneered, "Today, I will let you know what true power is!"

After saying that, he suddenly launched an attack, as fast as lightning, and rushed directly towards Qin Feng.

"Everyone be careful!" Qin Feng dodged hurriedly and handed the crystal to Su Wan'er.

Mingyan and Liefeng also quickly took action and started a fierce battle with the mysterious man. The sword shadows crossed and sparks flew in the room, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

Su Wan'er held the crystal tightly and stood aside to support them. Her eyes were firm and she did not flinch, as if she was ready to deal with anything at any time.

However, the mysterious man's power was far beyond their expectations, and several of his attacks put them in danger.

"We can't delay any longer!" Qin Feng shouted. He could feel that the opponent's strength was gradually increasing.

"Then let's give it a try!" Ming Yan gritted his teeth and launched a final attack with all his strength.

At this critical moment, Su Wan'er suddenly thought of a solution. She raised the crystal in her hand high, and the golden light instantly enveloped the entire room.

“This is...!” the mysterious man exclaimed, as if he realized something.

The light of the crystal became stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a dazzling beam of light, shooting straight into the sky. As the beam of light rose, the mysterious man let out a painful scream, and his body was gradually swallowed by the light and disappeared into the air.

"It's finally over..." Qin Feng let out a long sigh, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

Mingyan and Liefeng also breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.

"This crystal... is too powerful." Su Wan'er slowly put down the crystal, her eyes filled with complicated emotions, "We must treat it with care."

"That's right, we must study its power carefully and ensure that it will not be abused." Qin Feng said firmly.

They took the crystal and set out on the road back to the village. Although the battle was over, they all knew in their hearts that the true secret of the crystal might not be fully revealed yet.
