Bai Ye’s heart moved, and he immediately walked quickly in the direction of the faint light. The soldiers followed closely behind him, and their footsteps echoed in the empty temple, intertwined with the occasional sound of gravel falling in the distance, creating a depressing and tense atmosphere.

The light seemed to be coming from behind a half-open door. No one knew what secrets were hidden behind the door. Bai Ye’s heartbeat accelerated, he signaled the soldiers to be alert, and then slowly opened the door.

Behind the door was a long and narrow corridor, with stone walls carved with strange patterns on both sides of the corridor, and those patterns looked even more gloomy and terrifying in the weak light. At the end of the corridor, the light seemed to be brighter, as if something important was waiting for them.

“Everyone be careful, there may be unknown dangers hidden here.” Bai Ye whispered, his voice echoing in the corridor with a subtle tremor.

The soldiers nodded one after another, with both expectation and fear in their eyes. They knew that this moment had come, and no matter what was waiting for them ahead, they must face it bravely.

As they moved forward, the light became brighter and brighter, until they came to the end of the corridor and found that the light came from behind a huge stone door. The stone door was engraved with complex runes, and those runes flashed strangely under the light, as if they contained some mysterious power.

“Look, there seems to be a keyhole on this stone door.” A soldier suddenly pointed at the stone door and said.

Bai Ye immediately went forward to check, and indeed found a small keyhole in the corner of the stone door. He was moved and immediately remembered the strange statue he had found in the mysterious area before. Did something fall down when the statue collapsed?

“Everyone think back, did we pick up anything strange when the statue collapsed before?” Bai Ye turned around and asked the soldiers.

The soldiers shook their heads, indicating that they did not notice anything. But at this moment, a soldier suddenly took out a black fragment from his arms, and the fragment was engraved with runes similar to those on the stone door.

“This is what I picked up when I was dodging the rubble. It might be from the statue.” The soldier handed the fragment to Bai Ye and said.

Bai Ye took the fragment and looked at it carefully. He found that the shape of the fragment perfectly matched the keyhole on the stone door, as if it was the key to open the stone door.

“It seems that we have found the key to open this stone door.” Bai Ye whispered, with a hint of excitement that was difficult to conceal in his voice.

The soldiers gathered around him after hearing this, and their eyes flashed with anticipation. Bai Ye aimed the fragment at the keyhole and slowly inserted it into it. As the fragment went deeper, a dazzling light suddenly lit up on the stone door, and then the stone door slowly opened.

Behind the door was a huge hall, with an ancient altar in the center. There were some strange objects on the altar, and those objects flashed mysteriously in the weak light. Around the hall were some stone pillars carved with strange patterns, and those patterns seemed to be telling some kind of ancient legend.

“Here… is this the legendary temple treasure?” A soldier couldn’t help but whispered.

Bai Ye shook his head, his eyes swept around the hall, and then fell on an item on the altar. It was a key with a strange shape, with complex runes carved on the key, similar to the runes on the stone door but different.

“No, this is only part of the temple. The real treasure may be deeper.” Bai Ye whispered, with a hint of firmness in his voice.

The soldiers nodded one after another when they heard it. They knew that this moment had come, and they had to move forward to find the place where they lived.

Bai Ye led the soldiers to the altar. They carefully bypassed those strange objects, fearing that they would accidentally trigger some mechanism. When they finally came to the altar, Bai Ye reached out and picked up the strange key.

The moment the key was in hand, Bai Ye felt a mysterious power pouring into his body from the key. An ancient spell suddenly emerged in his mind, and the spell seemed to be guiding him to go deeper into the temple.

“Everyone follow us, we may have found a clue leading to the depths of the temple.” Bai Ye whispered, and then led the soldiers to continue along a passage next to the altar.

On both sides of the passage were more stone pillars and stone walls carved with strange patterns. Those patterns looked even more eerie and terrifying in the dim light, as if they would break free from the stone walls at any time. The soldiers followed Bai Ye closely, their heartbeats echoing in the passage, intertwined with the low sound of the wind coming from afar.

As they moved forward, the passage gradually became wider. A huge stone door appeared in front of them, with more complex runes and patterns carved on it. Those runes and patterns flashed dazzlingly under the light, as if they contained some powerful power.

Bai Ye looked at the runes and patterns on the stone door, and a familiar feeling surged in his heart. He remembered the statues and murals he had seen in that mysterious area before. The runes and patterns on those statues and murals were similar to those on the stone door, but they were different.

“It seems that we are getting closer and closer to the truth.” Bai Ye whispered, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

The soldiers nodded one after another, with both expectation and fear in their eyes. They knew that this moment had come, and no matter what was waiting for them ahead, they had to face it bravely.

Bai Ye aimed the key in his hand at the lock on the stone door and slowly inserted it. As the key went deeper, a dazzling light suddenly lit up on the stone door. Then, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the depths of the temple.

There were more stone pillars and stone walls on both sides of the passage, and those stone pillars and stone walls were carved with more bizarre patterns and runes. Those patterns and runes flashed more dazzlingly under the light, as if to blind their eyes.

Bai Ye led the soldiers forward cautiously, and their heartbeats echoed in the passage. Every step was full of vigilance and uneasiness. They knew that there might be more dangers and unknowns hidden here.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front. The sound seemed to come from deep underground, with endless chill and despair. The soldiers stopped and looked nervously in the direction of the sound.

“Is… what?” A soldier asked in a trembling voice.

Bai Ye did not answer. He held the weapon in his hand tightly, ready to deal with the impending danger. However, at this moment, a huge figure suddenly rushed out from the end of the passage.

It was a huge dark creature, its eyes flashing with strange light, as if it could see through people’s hearts. Its body was covered with thick black scales, each of which flashed with cold light. Its mouth showed sharp fangs, as if it could easily tear everything apart.

“Quick! Attack!” Bai Ye shouted, and took the lead in attacking the dark creature. The soldiers also responded one after another, with their weapons flashing with cold light, and slashed at the dark creature fiercely.

However, the dark creature was extremely cunning, and it evaded their attacks flexibly. At the same time, it made a low roar, as if mocking their incompetence. Bai Ye looked at the dark creature, and an unprecedented anger surged in his heart. He knew that they had to get rid of this creature as soon as possible, otherwise they would not be able to move forward.

“Everyone concentrate your firepower! Attack its eyes!” Bai Ye shouted again, and then took the lead in attacking the eyes of the dark creature. The soldiers followed suit, and the weapons in their hands chopped at the eyes of the dark creature.

Finally, with the efforts of everyone, the dark creature let out a shrill roar, and then slowly fell to the ground. Bai Ye looked at the dark creature lying on the ground, and a sense of victory surged in his heart. However, he also knew that this was just the beginning of their adventure, and there were more dangers waiting for them in this temple.

They continued to move forward, and every step was full of vigilance and uneasiness. Suddenly, a strange light came from the front, and the light illuminated an area in front. There was a huge altar in that area, and some strange items were placed on the altar. Those items flashed mysteriously under the light, as if they contained some powerful power.

“Look! What is that?” A soldier pointed to the items on the altar and asked.

Bai Ye looked in the direction of the soldier’s finger, and saw a strangely shaped gem on the altar. The gem emitted a dazzling light, as if it could illuminate the entire temple. Bai Ye’s heart moved, and he immediately remembered the statues and murals he had seen in that mysterious area before. The runes and patterns on those statues and murals seemed to be related to this gem.

“It seems that we have found the core of the temple.” Bai Ye whispered, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

The soldiers nodded one after another, and their eyes flashed with anticipation. They knew that this moment had come, and they must find the gem as soon as possible and leave here.

Bai Ye walked towards the altar carefully, and he reached out and picked up the gem. The moment the gem was in his hand, Bai Ye felt a powerful force pouring into his body from the gem. An ancient spell and a mysterious map suddenly emerged in his mind.

The spell seemed to be guiding him how to use the power of this gem, and the map revealed the secret passages and treasures deep in the temple. Bai Ye looked at the gem in his hand and the map in his mind, and his heart was filled with unprecedented excitement.

“Everyone follow, we have found the clue to leave here.” Bai Ye whispered, and then led the soldiers to continue along the route guided by the map in his mind.

They passed through passages and halls one after another, and every step was full of vigilance and uneasiness. However, despite their caution, the temple did not seem to let them go easily. Suddenly, there was a low roar in front, followed by the sound of boulders rolling down.

“Not good! There may be a trap ahead!” Bai Ye shouted, and then immediately led the soldiers to find a place to hide. However, at this moment, the sound of boulders rolling down was already close at hand. They had nowhere to hide and could only watch the boulders hit them.

Just as they were about to be submerged by the boulders, Bai Ye suddenly remembered the gem in his hand. He quickly raised the gem high and then silently recited the ancient spell. As the spell sounded, the gem suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

The light instantly enveloped the area around them, forming an indestructible light shield. The boulders hit the light shield one after another, and then shattered one after another. Bai Ye looked at the broken boulders and the still intact light shield, and a sense of victory surged in his heart.

“It seems that the power of this gem is much more powerful than we imagined.” Bai Ye whispered, and then continued to move forward with the soldiers.

They passed through traps and dangerous areas one after another, and every step was full of vigilance and uneasiness. However, despite their caution, the temple seemed not to let them off easily. Bai Ye knows very well that the real challenge has just begun. As they went deeper into the temple, the surrounding light became darker and darker, and there was a sense of depression and uneasiness in the air. The soldiers followed closely behind Bai Ye, their breathing, footsteps, and the sound of dripping water coming from far away from time to time, intertwined into a strange movement.

They came to a wide hall. In the center of the hall was a huge pool. The water in the pool showed a strange deep blue color, as if it could swallow all light. The pool is surrounded by several stone pillars carved with complex patterns. Those patterns are looming in the dimness, adding a bit of mystery.

“Everyone, be careful, there may be unknown mechanisms hidden here.” Bai Ye reminded in a low voice, his eyes searching around for possible dangers.

Suddenly, the water surface in the center of the pool began to fluctuate, as if something was about to break out of the water. The soldiers immediately became nervous and clenched their weapons in preparation for possible dangers.

At this moment, a huge figure slowly rose from the pool. It was a creature that looked like a dragon, but its body was composed of countless flashing blue scales, and its eyes were as deep as the abyss, revealing a heart-stopping chill.

“This is… the legendary water dragon?” A soldier exclaimed in a low voice, with a hint of fear in his voice.

Bai Ye didn’t answer. He stared closely at the water dragon and quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind. He knew that it was never wise to confront such a creature head-on.

“Everyone, stay calm and don’t act rashly.” Bai Ye ordered in a low voice, then slowly took a step forward, trying to communicate with the water dragon.

However, the water dragon seemed not to pay attention to them. It opened its huge mouth and spit out a ball of blue flames. The flames instantly illuminated the surrounding space and brought an endless aura of heat and destruction.

“Get away!” Bai Ye shouted, and then quickly led the soldiers back. The place where they had just stood had been swallowed up by the blue flame and turned into nothingness.

The soldiers looked at everything in front of them in horror. They had never seen such a powerful creature, and they had never experienced such a life-and-death crisis. However, under Bai Ye’s leadership, they gradually regained their composure and began to look for opportunities to counterattack.
