Chapter 207: The Test of the Ancient Guardian, the Key to the Ruins

Qin Feng and his companions finally entered the valley of Cangyun Mountain, and what greeted them was an ancient and mysterious relic. However, they soon discovered that this was not only a place where ancient soul masters practiced, but also a place guarded by some powerful force. In order to find the descendants of the ancient soul master, they had to pass the guardian's test and enter the core of the relic.

"The atmosphere here is so strange." Chu Tian frowned and looked around at the surrounding environment. The air in the valley was filled with an ancient and majestic power, which made people feel oppressive.

"These stone statues seem to be looking at us." Zhang Meng said, pointing to the stone statues on both sides. These stone statues have different shapes. Although they have experienced wind and frost, they still exude an awe-inspiring majesty.

"They are not just decorations." Shadow walked in front, looking around vigilantly, "These stone statues are likely to be the guardians of this place, and they may attack us at any time."

"Then we have to be careful." Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand and remained highly alert. "If there is any movement, react immediately."

They walked carefully through the forest of stone statues and headed deeper into the ruins. It was extremely quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing on the stone slabs.

"Do you feel that it's a little too quiet here?" Ye Li said softly, the Frost Fox's cold air surging slightly in her hands, as if sensing something.

"Indeed." Wang Hao nodded. "Logically speaking, the guardian shouldn't have been silent for so long."

"Maybe they are waiting for us to go deeper." Qin Feng guessed, "In any case, we can't let our guard down."

Just as they continued to move forward, suddenly a low buzzing sound came from the forest of stone statues, and then the eyes of the stone statues suddenly lit up red, as if they came alive in an instant.

"Here he comes!" Zhang Meng exclaimed, clenching his fists and ready to fight.

"Everyone be careful, they are starting to move!" Qin Feng warned loudly, the Dragon Shadow Sword glowing in his hand, and spiritual power had gathered on the blade.

The stone statues began to move one by one. Although their movements were slow, each step was heavy and powerful, as if the ground was shaking. Soon, several stone statues surrounded Qin Feng and his group, blocking all their retreat routes.

"It seems we have to break their encirclement." Wang Hao said calmly, flames burning on his fists, ready to attack at any time.

"These guys look thick-skinned and tough, so we can't fight them head-on." Qin Feng analyzed quickly, "We must find their weaknesses and focus our attacks."

"Brother Feng, you take command and I'll be responsible for restraining it." Chu Tian flexibly turned the dagger in his hand, obviously intending to use speed to interfere with the movements of the stone statue.

"Okay, everyone follow my instructions." Qin Feng nodded, "Ye Li, use cold air to test their reactions. Wang Hao and Zhang Meng are ready to launch an attack at the right time."

"Understood!" Ye Li acted quickly, and the Frost Fox's cold air quickly spread, covering the surrounding stone statues. However, these stone statues seemed to be insensitive to the cold air, and still approached slowly but firmly.

"They don't seem to be afraid of the cold." Ye Li frowned and said.

"Then use force to solve them!" Zhang Meng shouted, and rushed towards a stone statue, punching the stone statue's chest with great force. However, when his fist collided with the stone statue, a dull sound was heard, and the stone statue just shook slightly, and was not seriously hurt.

"These guys are really hard to deal with!" Zhang Meng said in surprise. He felt a dull pain in his fist. Obviously, the hardness of the stone statue was beyond his expectation.

"We can't just use force. We have to think of another way." Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Although they are tough, they move slowly. We can take advantage of their speed disadvantage and find their flaws."

"Brother Feng, do you mean that we should suppress them with speed?" Wang Hao asked.

"That's right." Qin Feng nodded, "We should disperse our actions to attract their attention, and then look for opportunities to attack the same part of them at the same time."

"Good idea!" Chu Tian's eyes lit up, "I'll be responsible for containing them, everyone get ready."

Qin Feng and his men quickly took action. Chu Tian nimbly shuttled between the stone statues, and his speed made it difficult for these clumsy guardians to catch up. Every time a stone statue tried to attack him, he would always dodge quickly, making the stone statues' movements towards each other even slower.

"Wang Hao, now!" Qin Feng gave an order, and Wang Hao suddenly launched an attack. His fist, with a powerful flame, directly hit the joint of a stone statue. At the same time, Zhang Meng also attacked from the other side, punching the same part.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, a crack appeared at the joint of the stone statue. Then, its movements became noticeably slower, and finally the entire stone statue collapsed and turned into a pile of rubble.

"Success!" Zhang Meng shouted excitedly, "Brother Feng, this method works!"

"Keep attacking their joints!" Qin Feng quickly gave the order, "The joints of these stone statues are their weaknesses. As long as we concentrate our strength and attack, we can knock them down!"

Under Qin Feng's command, everyone worked in harmony and broke through the defenses of the stone statue guardians one by one. Although these stone statues were extremely hard, with their flexible tactics, they were eventually broken into pieces and turned into rubble on the ground.

"Huh, it's finally solved." Chu Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, "These guys are really difficult to deal with."

"Fortunately, Brother Feng commanded properly, otherwise we might not have won." Ye Li smiled, and her Frost Fox gradually calmed down.

"Everyone has performed very well." Qin Feng nodded and said, "However, this is just the beginning, we have to keep moving forward."

After dealing with the stone guardian, Qin Feng and his team continued to go deeper into the valley, and soon they came to the core area of ​​the ruins. This was a vast open space, in the center of which stood an ancient stone gate, which was engraved with complex runes.

"This should be the entrance to the ruins." Shadow said, he carefully observed the runes on the stone door, "These runes seem to be some kind of ancient formation, used to protect the secrets inside the ruins."

"How do we open it?" asked Zhang Meng, who obviously didn't know much about these runes.

"Let me try." Qin Feng walked forward and gently stroked the runes on the stone door, sensing the fluctuations of spiritual power in it.

After studying it carefully for a while, Qin Feng suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said to everyone: "These runes seem complicated, but in fact they are interconnected. I think as long as we trigger them in a specific order, we can open this stone door."

"What should we do?" Wang Hao asked.

"Everyone chooses a rune and injects spiritual power into it at the same time, but you have to follow my instructions." Qin Feng explained.

Everyone followed Qin Feng's instructions, standing in different positions in front of the stone gate, placing their palms lightly on the runes, ready to inject spiritual power at the same time.

"Are you ready?" Qin Feng asked.

"Ready!" everyone responded in unison.

"Okay, start!" Qin Feng gave an order, and everyone injected spiritual power at the same time. As the spiritual power was injected, the runes on the stone door gradually glowed, and then those runes began to move slowly, as if they were connecting to each other.

"Success!" Chu Tian said excitedly, "The stone gate is moving!"

Sure enough, as the runes moved, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the depths of the ruins.

"It seems we did the right thing." Qin Feng smiled slightly, and then said, "Everyone be careful, there may be more tests here."

"No matter what it is, we will face it!" Zhang Meng said with fighting spirit.

"Let's go, there must be the answers we want ahead." Shadow looked determined and took the lead in stepping into the passage.

Qin Feng and his companions followed closely behind. They knew that this expedition was just the tip of the iceberg and the real challenge was still waiting for them in the depths of the ruins.
