Chapter 535: Survival in the Mist 12
In the following weeks, Lin Qian, Li Hao, Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhao immersed themselves in the study of the knowledge brought back from the other world. They explored those mysterious runes and spells day and night, trying to unravel the mysteries. Whenever it was late at night, the lights in the wooden house would always be on the latest, reflecting their focused and determined figures.
Finally, on a sunny morning, they made a breakthrough. Lin Qian excitedly pointed to a drawing with complex runes and said, "Look, these runes seem to point to a specific location, and that location may be hiding a treasure chest from another world."
"Treasure chest?" Li Hao's eyes lit up, with a look of curiosity and anticipation on his face. "What's inside? Magic equipment? Or precious materials?"
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhao also came over and studied the blueprint carefully. Xiao Wang scratched his head and asked in confusion: "But how do we get to that place? The alien world is so big and the fog is so thick, it must be difficult to find the exact location, right?"
Lin Qian smiled and said confidently, "I've thought about it. We can use those rune fragments to make a positioning compass, which should be able to guide us to find the treasure chest. Of course, this requires us to enter the alien world again, but with this preparation, we should be more relaxed."
Hearing this, everyone showed a determined look. They knew that this expedition was not only to find the treasure chest, but also to verify their research results and explore the unknown world.
So they prepared again. This time, they not only brought a compass and necessary tools, but also carefully prepared some food and water, just in case. On the eve of departure, they sat around the fire in the wooden house, encouraging and cheering each other up.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the fog, they set out on a journey to another world. Passing through the familiar light door, they once again came to that mysterious and unknown world.
There was thick fog all around, but with the guidance of the positioning compass, they were no longer as blind as before. They moved forward in the direction indicated by the compass, and every step was full of expectation and tension.
After walking for a long time, they finally came to a desolate ruin. The ruins were scattered with broken walls and broken stone pillars, looking desolate and dilapidated. However, in these ruins, the needle of the positioning compass trembled violently and pointed to a corner covered by huge rocks.
"This should be it." Lin Qian whispered, her eyes gleaming with excitement. They carefully moved the boulder away, revealing a hidden cave. The cave was not big, but it was big enough for a person to crawl through.
"I'll go explore the way first." Li Hao volunteered. He lit a torch and slowly crawled into the cave. After a while, his voice came from inside the cave: "It's safe inside, everyone come in quickly."
Hearing Li Hao's call, Lin Qian, Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhao also climbed into the cave. The cave was dark and narrow, and the light of the torch could only illuminate a small area in front. They walked along the winding passage, and from time to time they could hear the sound of water dripping on the rocks, which seemed particularly eerie.
After walking for a long time, they finally came to a spacious underground palace. The walls of the palace were carved with exquisite reliefs, which seemed to tell an ancient and mysterious history. In the center of the palace, a huge treasure chest lay there quietly, emitting an attractive light.
"Treasure chest!" Xiao Wang couldn't help but cheer. They walked quickly to the treasure chest and looked at it expectantly. Li Hao reached out to open the treasure chest, but was stopped by Lin Qian.
"Wait a minute." Lin Qian said cautiously, "We don't know if this treasure chest has a trap. Let me give it a try."
As he spoke, Lin Qian took out a rune scroll from his backpack and gently placed it on the treasure chest. As the runes flickered, the treasure chest slowly opened, revealing a pile of glittering treasures. There were magic equipment, precious materials, and some mysterious items they had never seen before.
"Great!" Li Hao cheered, he reached out and picked up a piece of magic equipment, examining it carefully. Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhao also excitedly picked out their favorite treasures.
However, at this moment, red alarm lights suddenly lit up around the palace. Then, a deafening alarm sounded, echoing throughout the palace.
"Oh no! There's a trap!" Lin Qian's face changed, and she quickly pulled everyone aside. Many mechanical guards emerged from all around the palace, holding weapons and pressing forward step by step.
"This is troublesome." Li Hao said nervously, "What should we do?"
Lin Qian calmly analyzed the situation: "These mechanical guards should have certain attack patterns. As long as we find their weaknesses, we can defeat them."
As she spoke, she directed everyone to disperse and use the terrain and obstacles to avoid the attacks of the mechanical guards. At the same time, she continued to release magic to try to interfere with the actions of the mechanical guards. After a fierce battle, they finally defeated all the mechanical guards and successfully took back the treasure chest.
When they came out of the underground palace, it was already dusk. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, making them look particularly warm and peaceful. They set off on their journey home with the treasure chest and their full harvest.
After returning to the cabin, they couldn't wait to open the treasure chest and carefully study the treasures inside. The magic equipment and materials opened their eyes, and the mysterious items filled them with curiosity and expectation.
"These treasures will surely bring great changes to our world." Li Hao said excitedly, "We must make good use of them."
Lin Qian also nodded: "That's right. However, we can't forget the experience of this expedition. It makes us understand the meaning and value of life more deeply, and makes us cherish everything in front of us more."
In the following days, they began to study those mysterious items and magical equipment. They found that these items contained powerful magical powers, which could bring unprecedented progress and changes to their world.
However, they also knew that these powers must be used with caution. So they decided to set up a secret organization dedicated to studying and protecting these mysterious items and magical powers. They believed that with their efforts, the world would become better and more prosperous.
As time went by, Lin Qian and her teammates gradually became the core members of this secret organization. Not only did they continue to explore other areas of the alien world, they also constantly brought new knowledge and technology back to their world. Their names and deeds gradually spread throughout the continent and became legends among people.
One day, Lin Qian stood in front of the window of the wooden house, looking at the mist in the distance. Her heart was filled with emotion and expectation. She knew that there were more unknown worlds and treasures behind the mist waiting for them to explore and discover. And she would always carry this curiosity and courage and continue to move forward.
