Chapter 912: Adventures in the Treasure Hunt

"Dear villagers, the Water God Festival has just ended. Next we are going to embark on a more thrilling adventure - a treasure hunt!" Zhang Meng stood in the village square, his voice excited, and seemed to have lifted the atmosphere of the entire village.

"Treasure hunt? Sounds exciting!" a child shouted excitedly nearby, with a eager gleam in his eyes.

"We are going to look for the legendary treasure in the ancient ruins near the village. Whoever finds it will receive the blessing of the water god!" Qin Feng added, shaking a map in his hand.

"I heard that there are glittering gold coins and all kinds of rare treasures in that treasure!" The child looked longingly, as if he was already counting the gold coins in his dream.

"However, the guardian of the legendary treasure is no simple person, so everyone should be careful!" Zhang Meng reminded seriously, pretending to be mysterious.

"Guardian? Could it be a monster?" The child's eyes suddenly widened and his face was full of tension.

"Haha, don't worry! We are all warriors of the Water God, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Qin Feng laughed and patted the child's shoulder.

"Yes! We must move forward bravely and never retreat!" Zhang Meng also joined the ranks to boost morale.

After a heated discussion, the villagers decided to join the treasure hunt. They divided into several groups, brought their own exploration tools, and headed towards the ruins marked on the map.

"I'll be responsible for finding the way, everyone follow me closely!" Zhang Meng was full of confidence, walking in front with a map in his hand.

"You, a person with no sense of direction, still dare to lead the way? You got us lost last time!" Qin Feng joked and couldn't help laughing.

"That was an accident! I will definitely not get lost today!" Zhang Meng patted his chest to show his determination.

With everyone laughing and talking, the team began to move towards the site. On the way, some young villagers took the opportunity to start playing around and tried to push each other.

"Do you dare push me again? I will fight back!" said a villager angrily.

"Fight back? With your level, you probably can't even hit a mosquito!" another person laughed.

"Come on, I'll show you what real power is!" The provoked villager took a fighting stance, which made everyone laugh.

Along the way, everyone laughed and talked happily, and finally arrived at the legendary ancient ruins. The ruins seemed a little mysterious, with lush green trees around and the sun shining through the leaves, casting mottled shadows.

"Everyone be careful, the treasure is nearby! We must search carefully!" Zhang Meng said mysteriously, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

"I think the treasure should be hidden in that ancient stone building!" Qin Feng pointed to a dilapidated stone wall with a firm look.

"Let's go and take a look!" Everyone nodded and walked towards the stone wall.

Just as they approached the stone wall, they suddenly heard a loud "bang" and the stones on the top of the stone wall fell down and almost hit them!

"Ouch! Get out of the way!" Qin Feng shouted, and everyone hurriedly retreated with looks of horror on their faces.

"Is this... a mechanism?" Zhang Meng's eyes lit up, and he felt a little excited. "It seems that the treasure really has a guardian!"

"Guardian? Are you saying that this stone wall itself is the guardian?" a villager asked in horror, his eyes full of confusion.

"Of course! Otherwise, why would there be so many mechanisms?" Zhang Meng was full of confidence and excitedly began to look for other possible mechanisms.

"Let's be careful and don't let any more accidents happen!" Qing'er reminded from the side. Although she was a little nervous, she was also full of expectations for the treasure.

"No problem! As long as we work together, we will definitely find the treasure!" Qin Feng encouraged, with fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

Everyone began to carefully observe the surrounding environment, trying to find clues to the treasure. Suddenly, a young man found a strange stone slab with some ancient symbols engraved on it.

"Look, this symbol seems to be a code!" he said excitedly, pointing at the slate.

"Password? Come and take a look!" Zhang Meng ran over and stared at the symbols intently.

"It says here 'When water and fire merge, treasure will appear'!" The young man read it carefully, seeming to be thinking about its meaning.

"The fusion of water and fire? Do we need the combination of water and fire to open the treasure?" Qing'er frowned and fell into deep thought.

"This sounds challenging, but we can try it!" Qin Feng encouraged everyone and started looking for suitable sources of water and fire.

"I'll go find some water! There's a stream nearby!" A villager volunteered and turned to run towards the stream.

"Then I'll go find fire! I brought some matches!" another villager said excitedly, took out a matchbox and prepared to go.

"Okay, let's take action on our own and finish it quickly!" Zhang Meng commanded, his face full of anticipation.

A few minutes later, everyone gathered in front of the slab, the young man with water and another villager with fire.

"Water and fire are ready, what should we do next?" asked the young man.

"We need to put water and fire on the stone slab at the same time and see what happens!" Zhang Meng analyzed, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll do it!" said another villager, and began to pour water on the slabs and lit a match at the same time.

"Hurry up, don't be so slow!" Qing'er urged from the side, feeling extremely nervous.

As water and fire combined, the symbols on the stone slab began to flicker, emitting a faint light, and everyone held their breath.

"Is this... a success?" The young man couldn't believe it.

"Keep it up and maintain the contact between water and fire!" Zhang Meng shouted with an excited smile on his face.

At this moment, the stone slab suddenly shook violently, and the ground of the entire site began to tremble slightly.

"Quick, step back!" Qin Feng shouted, and everyone stepped back.

"Is this...about to open the treasure?" Qing'er asked nervously, her eyes full of anticipation.

Not long after, with a loud bang, the middle part of the stone wall slowly moved to both sides, revealing a passage with a strange light flashing inside.

"We succeeded!" Zhang Meng shouted excitedly and walked forward quickly.

"Don't be impatient, there may be other mechanisms!" Qing'er reminded, but Zhang Meng rushed in impatiently.

"Wow, it's so beautiful inside!" exclaimed a villager, his eyes full of surprise.

At the end of the passage, everyone saw a room full of antiques and treasures. The walls were hung with gold, silver and jewelry, and there was a huge golden treasure chest in the center.

"Look! This is it!" Zhang Meng pointed at the treasure chest excitedly, his eyes shining.

"Open it and take a look!" Everyone gathered around, their faces full of anticipation and curiosity.

Zhang Meng walked towards the treasure chest cautiously, preparing to open it with trembling hands.

"Let me help you!" Qin Feng encouraged and stretched out his hand to open it together.

At this moment, the wall above the treasure chest suddenly flashed with light and made a low roar, and everyone was startled.

"What's going on?" Qing'er asked nervously.

"I don't know either, open the treasure chest quickly!" Zhang Meng continued to work hard, but he felt a little uneasy.

With a "click" sound, the treasure chest was finally opened, and there was a dazzling light inside that dazzled everyone.

"What...what is this?" a villager asked stutteringly, his eyes wandering back and forth over the glittering treasure.

"It should be the blessing of the Water God!" Qin Feng said excitedly, his eyes full of surprise.

"But there seems to be something else inside..." Qing'er frowned, trying to see clearly what was in the treasure chest.

Just as everyone was curiously looking inside, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the light in the treasure chest gradually dissipated, revealing the true appearance inside.

"Wow! This is... the magic weapon of the Water God!" Zhang Meng exclaimed, and his face was shocked when he saw what was in the treasure chest.

There was actually a staff inside that was glowing with blue light, and there were several sparkling crystals around it.

"This is incredible!" Qing'er exclaimed, "This is definitely the treasure of the Water God!"

"We've made a profit this time!" Zhang Meng's face was full of pride and he was extremely excited.

"But how do we use these magical tools?" a villager asked puzzledly.

"I think the Water God's magic weapon must have its uses. We have to study it carefully!" Qin Feng said seriously, with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.

"That's right! This adventure is so meaningful!" Zhang Meng sighed, full of expectations for the future.

Everyone discussed excitedly, their hearts filled with longing and fantasy for the unknown, and the treasure hunt came to a perfect end amid laughter and joy.
