Chapter 586: In-depth Exploration and Unexpected Discovery of the Mysterious Ruins

The expedition team carefully selected by the Soul Master Alliance and the Holy Light Gate has assembled. They are all in high spirits, with curiosity and determination shining in their eyes. After all, this mysterious relic is full of unknowns. It may be dangerous, or it may be a huge treasure that can change the world of martial spirits.

The expedition team stood in front of the entrance to the ruins. The soul power barrier that had just been broken by the reconnaissance team still had some unstable soul power fluctuations.

"Alright, everyone cheer up. This ruins is filled with traps and mechanisms. If we are not careful, we will become part of the ruins." The leader of the expedition team was an experienced soul master. He reminded the team members seriously.

The team members stepped into the ruins cautiously. The pervasive fog seemed to become even thicker, as if countless pairs of small hands were pulling at their clothes, trying to stop them from moving forward.

"This fog feels a bit weird, as if it is interfering with my soul power perception." A soul master who is good at sensing soul power fluctuations said with a frown.

"Everyone, stay close together and take care of each other," said the captain.

They moved forward slowly. The ancient buildings around them exuded an antiquated atmosphere. The runes and patterns on the walls were faintly visible in the mist, as if they were beating, telling stories that had been buried by the years.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of mechanical operation coming from the front. "Everyone be careful, there may be a trap." The captain said vigilantly.

The team members immediately stopped and waited for the opportunity. The ground in front of them slowly opened up and a row of stone statues rose up. These stone statues were lifelike, and each of them held different weapons, including swords, axes, spears, etc., and their eyes flashed with red soul power.

"These stone statues don't look easy to mess with." Zhang Meng swallowed.

The stone statues seemed to have received some kind of command, and suddenly moved, rushing towards the expedition team. Although their movements were a little stiff, every step they took made the ground shake slightly.

"Come on, who's afraid of who!" A combat-type soul master shouted and rushed forward. He swung his weapon and chopped at a stone statue. However, the body of the stone statue was extremely hard, and the weapon only splashed a little spark when it chopped on it. The stone statue swung its weapon backhand and almost knocked the soul master down.

"Normal attacks won't work. Let's try using our soul power to attack their eyes. That looks like their weakness." A scholar-type soul master in the expedition team analyzed.

Therefore, the soul masters changed their tactics, gathering their soul power in the eyes and shooting soul power rays at the eyes of the stone statues. This move was indeed effective, and the stone statues that were hit in the eyes began to move slowly, and some even stopped directly.

"Haha, it will be much easier to deal with them if we find a way." Zhang Meng said excitedly. He let the giant rock bear rush towards the stone statues, and the giant rock bear's huge bear paw slapped the stone statues. With the help of the soul masters' soul power attacks, the stone statues were knocked to the ground one by one and turned into a pile of rubble.

"Don't be too happy too soon, this is just the beginning," the captain reminded.

Continuing to go deeper into the ruins, they came to a huge hall. In the center of the hall was a round stone platform, which was engraved with complex runes, and above the stone platform was a sphere emitting colorful light.

"This sphere seems to contain great power. Maybe it is the key to the mysterious power we are looking for." Xiaohua said curiously.

However, when they approached the stone platform, a transparent soul power shield suddenly appeared around them, protecting the stone platform and the sphere.

"There is a shield again. These ancient people really like to set up protective measures." Qin Feng shook his head helplessly.

The expedition team began to study how to break the shield. They found that the runes on the shield were similar to those seen at the entrance of the ruins, but more complicated.

"These runes look like a combination lock. We have to find the corresponding soul power frequency to crack it." said the soul master who is good at rune research.

So, the team members began to try various soul power frequencies. After countless attempts, just when everyone was a little frustrated, a young soul master accidentally discovered a special frequency. When he adjusted his soul power to this frequency and injected it into the shield, the runes on the shield flickered a few times and then slowly disappeared.

"Well done, boy!" the captain praised.

The team members walked towards the stone platform, wanting to carefully study the colorful sphere. At this moment, the sphere suddenly released a strong suction force, sucking the nearest soul masters over.

"Ah! What's going on?" The soul master who was sucked in was panicked.

The other team members quickly grabbed their hands and tried to pull them back, but the suction was too strong and they were slowly dragged towards the sphere.

"Everyone, use your soul power to resist the suction!" the captain shouted.

The soul masters worked together to release their soul power to form a reaction force. After a struggle, they finally got rid of the suction of the sphere.

"What on earth is this sphere? Why is it so strange?" said a soul master with lingering fear.

After some observation, they found that the surface of the sphere was also engraved with runes. These runes seemed to be constantly flowing, as if conveying some kind of information.

"I think this sphere may be an information storage device, which may record information about this relic or some powerful force." The scholar-type soul master speculated.

Just as they were about to study the sphere further, a low roar came from deep within the ruins. The sound shook the entire hall slightly, as if some giant creature had been awakened by their actions.

"Sounds like a big one, everyone get ready for a fight." The captain clenched his fists.

As the roaring sound got closer, a huge monster appeared before their eyes. This monster was huge, like a small hill, its body was covered with hard scales, it had huge horns on its head, and its eyes were like two burning lanterns.

"What kind of monster is this? It looks like it came out of an ancient myth." A soul master said in surprise.

When the monster saw the expedition team, it rushed towards them without hesitation. It was so fast that every step it took left a big hole on the ground.

"Disperse!" the captain shouted.

The soul masters quickly scattered around, and the monster missed. But it quickly adjusted its direction and launched another attack.

Zhang Meng ordered the giant rock bear to charge at the monster, and the two beasts collided with each other, making a deafening sound. Although the giant rock bear was huge, it seemed a little struggling in front of the monster.

Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword, flew into the air, and stabbed at the monster's eyes. The monster sensed the danger, shook its head, blocked Qin Feng's attack with its horns, and then swept its tail towards Qin Feng. Qin Feng dodged flexibly and continued to look for opportunities to attack.

Ye Li and Frost Fox released cold air, trying to freeze the monster's movements, but the monster's scales seemed to be able to resist the cold air, and the cold air could only slow it down slightly.

Xiaohua and Xiaobai were not idle either. Xiaohua used her soul power to command Xiaobai, and Xiaobai used her speed advantage to run around on the monster, releasing a purifying light from time to time to interfere with the monster's attack.

The soul masters of the Holy Light Sect released their light soul power one after another, and their soul power turned into white light and shot towards the monster. The monster hit by the white light had its scales on its body trembling slightly, and it seemed to have suffered some damage.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the monster's attack was fierce, but the expedition team gradually found a way to deal with it. They found that when the monster attacked, its abdomen would be exposed for a moment, which might be its weakness.

"Everyone, focus on attacking its abdomen!" the captain shouted.

The soul masters began to concentrate their strength to attack the monster's abdomen. After a round of fierce attacks, the monster's abdomen was hit, and it let out a painful roar and shook its body several times.

"It works! Keep attacking!" the expedition members shouted excitedly.

They increased the intensity of their attacks, and the monster's resistance gradually weakened. Finally, under the combined attack of everyone, the monster fell to the ground with a bang, its huge body smashing on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Huh, finally got rid of this big guy." Zhang Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The expedition team continued to study the colorful sphere. After some effort, they finally found a way to decipher the runes on the sphere. It turned out that the sphere was indeed an information storage device, which recorded the origin of the ruins and an ancient method of soul power cultivation.

"This method of soul power cultivation seems very unique and different from the methods we currently have." The scholar-type soul master said excitedly.

This method of cultivation focuses on integration with nature and the surrounding environment, improving one's own strength through resonance with the soul power between heaven and earth, rather than simply relying on one's own accumulation of soul power.

"If we can bring this method back to the Wuhun world, maybe it can help improve the strength of many soul masters." Chu Tian said.

However, in the deepest part of the sphere, they also discovered a bigger secret about the ruins. It turned out that this ruins was built by an ancient civilization to seal a powerful dark force. And the colorful sphere is not only an information storage device, but also a key part of the seal.

"So, our exploration just now may have affected the stability of the seal?" Xiaohua asked worriedly.

"It's very likely. We have to find a way to strengthen the seal and prevent this dark power from being released." The captain said seriously.

Just as they were discussing how to strengthen the seal, some changes occurred in the ruins. Cracks began to appear in the surrounding walls, and the ground was shaking slightly, as if the dark forces were trying to break through the seal.

The expedition team is facing a huge crisis. They must find a way to reinforce the seal before the ruins completely collapse, otherwise the Wuhun World will face an unprecedented disaster.

"Don't panic, let's study the information on the sphere carefully and we will definitely find a solution." Chu Tian said calmly.

Therefore, the expedition team once again surrounded the sphere and carefully studied the rune information on the sphere, hoping to find a solution to the crisis at this critical moment and protect the peace and prosperity of the Wuhun world.
