Chapter 766: Undercurrents and Out-of-Control Actions

Qin Feng and his group continued to move forward in the direction indicated by the symbols. Their steps became heavier and heavier, and their minds were filled with countless questions and possibilities.

"What do you think is that mysterious energy source? Could it be just an antique that will blow us away as soon as it moves?" Zhang Meng said carelessly, and it was obvious that he was not afraid of future dangers at all.

"Don't talk nonsense, Zhang Meng! You can't joke about things like this." Ye Li glared at him with a stern tone.

Chu Tian walked around alertly, holding his weapon tightly, and whispered, "Everyone be careful, this journey has been too smooth, I always feel something is wrong."

Qin Feng was deep in thought, muttering: "I hope the place the symbol leads to won't be too strange. However, we have to prepare for the worst. After all, who knows what secrets this energy source has."

"Qin Feng, could you please stop looking like a prophet? It's too scary!" Zhang Meng couldn't help but complain.

"That's because you haven't seen my scarier side." Qin Feng laughed and said mysteriously.

"Come on, the worst you can do is stay up late and not wash your hair." Chu Tian rolled his eyes, obviously not buying it.

At this moment, a towering stone tablet suddenly appeared in front of them, covered with strange runes and patterns, emitting a faint light.

"Looks like we're here." Ye Li said, her eyes fixed on the stone tablet, as if she wanted to see more information from it.

“Why does this thing make me feel uneasy?” Zhang Meng grinned, scratching the back of his head with one hand, “Maybe something will jump out if I touch it!”

"Can you please shut up about this bad mouth of yours?" Chu Tian couldn't help but scold.

Qin Feng took a step forward and carefully examined the symbols on the stone tablet. These symbols were arranged in a very regular pattern, as if telling some kind of ancient story. He frowned and said, "These symbols should be related to those we interpreted before, but they seem to be more complicated."

Ye Li nodded: "Yes, it seems that we need to further interpret these symbols and find the key to crack it."

Qin Feng touched his chin and said, "It looks like another headache puzzle, but it shouldn't be difficult this time. We just need to interpret it according to our previous speculation."

Zhang Meng said disapprovingly: "Oh, don't make it so complicated, just go ahead and see! Anyway, I'm here to support you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward and slapped the stone tablet.

"What are you doing!" Ye Li was horrified, but it was too late to stop him.

As Zhang Meng's hand touched the stone tablet, the symbols on the stone tablet began to flash violently. The stone tablet made a dull sound, and then a crack appeared in the middle.

"Uh... I just touched it casually, but I didn't expect there would be a reaction!" Zhang Meng touched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"You call this casual?" Qin Feng glared at him, "I told you not to touch it! Now, who knows what will happen next!"

"Back off quickly!" Chu Tian shouted immediately and grabbed Zhang Meng and pulled him back.

However, the crack in the stone tablet became larger and larger, and suddenly, a strong light burst out from the crack, followed by a strong wind that swept around. The ground began to shake violently, as if some huge force was surging from the ground.

"It's over, this is really a big trouble!" Qin Feng looked at the stone walls that were constantly collapsing around him, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Ye Li quickly drew his weapon, his face solemn.

Just as they were preparing to deal with the sudden change, suddenly, a puff of black smoke gushed out from the cracks in the stone tablet. The smoke quickly spread and formed a huge black shadow. A pair of scarlet eyes could be vaguely seen in the black shadow, emitting a terrifying pressure.

"This... what the hell is this thing?!" Zhang Meng stepped back in fear.

Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand and said calmly: "It seems to be some kind of power guarding the stone tablet. We must defeat it, otherwise we will never leave here alive!"

"Stop talking nonsense and fight!" Chu Tian said coldly. His Storm Wolf was already standing beside him, ready to attack at any time.

The black shadow suddenly pounced on them, bringing a suffocating sense of oppression. Qin Feng used "Thunder Shadow" without hesitation, and a blue sword light hit the core of the black shadow. However, the black shadow only shook slightly, and then quickly recovered, as if its body was not affected by physical attacks at all.

"This guy is immune to attacks?" Ye Li frowned, with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

"It looks like that, but there must be a weakness." Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said, "We have to find its flaw!"

"Let me try to attack with soul power!" Chu Tian shouted, and his Storm Wolf gathered a ball of lightning energy and blasted towards the black shadow. However, after the lightning hit the black shadow, it was instantly swallowed by the darkness and had no effect at all.

"It's over, this thing is simply invincible!" Zhang Meng cried out in pain and ran away in panic.

"Calm down!" Qin Feng was thinking quickly about countermeasures while fighting. Suddenly, he had an idea and shouted, "These symbols may be the key! We need to reactivate the symbols!"

Ye Li suddenly realized: "Yes! These symbols may be the source of power that controls the black shadows!"

They quickly divided the work, Qin Feng led Chu Tian and Zhang Meng to attract the attention of the black shadow, while Ye Li focused on interpreting the symbols on the stone tablet. As her fingers touched a certain glowing symbol on the stone tablet, the stone tablet began to gradually emit a brighter light, as if competing with the black shadow.

"Success! The symbol is weakening the black shadow!" Ye Li said excitedly.

"Speed ​​up! We can't hold on for much longer!" Qin Feng gritted his teeth and resisted the black shadow's crazy attack.

Zhang Meng suddenly shouted, "Ah! It's going to collapse!"

Sure enough, as the power of the black shadow weakened, the entire stone chamber began to shake violently, and stones kept falling from the ceiling, as if it could collapse at any time.

"Ye Li, hurry up!" Chu Tian shouted, and the sweat on his forehead mixed with dirt rolled down.

Ye Li did not dare to delay and quickly activated the remaining symbols in the order in which they were set. As the last symbol was activated, the black shadow let out a sharp roar, then turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the air.

"Done!" Zhang Meng shouted excitedly, but before he had time to celebrate, the stone chamber suddenly made a loud noise and began to collapse rapidly.

"Don't stand there! Run!" Qin Feng yelled and took the lead rushing towards the exit.

Amidst flying rocks and howling winds, Qin Feng and his companions finally escaped from the collapsed stone chamber in a panic, and the surroundings returned to peace.

"I... am still alive?" Zhang Meng patted his body, and after making sure he was not injured, he laughed.

"Next time you try to make trouble again, I will definitely knock you down first!" Ye Li panted and threatened viciously.

"Come on, you can't bear to part with it." Zhang Meng laughed.

Qin Feng looked at the ruins in the distance, but he didn't feel relaxed at all. He whispered, "Although we have temporarily resolved the crisis, what exactly is that mysterious energy source? How many secrets does it still hide?"

"We must keep moving forward and cannot stop." Ye Li said firmly.

"Yes, the road ahead is more difficult, but we have no way back." Qin Feng nodded, determination flashing in his eyes.

The adventure continues, and the danger has just begun. What they don't know is that a bigger mystery is waiting for them to uncover.
