Chapter 7: Chapter 7: The Key to the Ruins
In this quiet yet tense moment, Jack's heart was like a magnificent scroll, undergoing an unprecedented struggle and purification. Beneath his closed eyes, beads of sweat trickled down one by one. Each drop seemed to carry a heavy mission, making it almost hard for him to breathe. In his chest, his heart was pounding like a war drum. Every beat seemed to remind him of how perilous his current situation was.
However, on this anvil of the soul, Jack's thoughts gradually became clear. Those once - chaotic lines and symbols now seemed to be guided by some mysterious force, starting to swirl, interweave, and dance in his mind. They were like an ancient melody, playing a symphony that only he could understand.
His soul seemed to be drawn by this mysterious force, crossing the barriers of time and space and arriving in a distant and ancient world. Here, time seemed to lose its meaning. He felt as if he had traveled a thousand years and was in a forgotten corner. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, as if blessed by divine revelation. A clear and firm thought took root and sprouted in his heart.
Jack slowly opened his eyes. His eyes revealed an unprecedented firmness and excitement. He took a deep breath to calm his inner excitement, then reached out his hand towards the ancient gate. His fingers gently touched the pattern on the gate, as if playing an ancient melody. As he did so, the symbols on the gate began to emit a faint light. These lights gradually gathered together, forming a huge energy vortex.
The energy fluctuations in the vortex became stronger and stronger, as if about to devour the entire space. Then, a low and majestic roar sounded in the main hall, shaking the whole space. The ancient gate slowly opened under this roar, and a stale and mysterious aura rushed out from inside.
This aura was like the dust of a thousand years and the aged wine of history, carrying an indescribable sense of antiquity and vicissitude. Jack and the adventurers were instantly enveloped by this aura, as if crossing the barriers of time and space and entering a brand - new world.
They entered the ruins and found that the interior was dim and silent. Only the magic crystals inlaid on the walls emitted a faint light. These lights twinkled in the darkness, like stars in the night sky, adding a touch of mystery to this mysterious space. The ground was engraved with various complex magic arrays, each emitting a faint light, as if hiding endless power.
Jack and the adventurers walked forward carefully, afraid of touching these dangerous magic arrays. Their footsteps echoed in the empty ruins, like a low - pitched bell tolling, lingering in this mysterious space for a long time. Every step was full of unknowns and dangers, but they still moved forward firmly.
Suddenly, a low and fierce roar came from the passage ahead, breaking the momentary silence. A huge rock golem slowly walked out of the darkness. Its eyes glowed with a scarlet light, full of hostility and aggression. Seeing this rock golem, Jack and the adventurers immediately became vigilant and took up their fighting stances.
Jack tightly held his long sword. The flames and magic power on the sword blade intertwined, as if ready to cut through all obstacles. He took the lead in launching an attack, slashing a sharp sword beam at the rock golem. However, the rock golem's defense was beyond imagination. Jack's attack only left a shallow mark on its body.
The rock golem let out a roar and waved its huge fist at Jack. The wind from the fist whistled past, carrying a world - destroying power. Jack dodged nimbly, avoiding this fatal attack. He knew well that the strength of this rock golem was extraordinary, and he had to go all out to defeat it.
In the fierce battle with the rock golem, Jack found that although its movements were slow, they carried great power. He began to observe the rock golem's attack pattern and tried to find its weakness. After a fierce battle and careful observation, he finally found a flaw - the joints of the rock golem were relatively weak.
So Jack concentrated and gathered all his magic power on the long sword, preparing to launch a fatal blow. He took a deep breath and then rushed towards the rock golem suddenly. At the moment of approaching, he leaped high and stabbed the long sword at the joint of the rock golem. The tip of the sword drew a dazzling trajectory in the air and accurately pierced the target. The magic power exploded at the joint instantly, shattering the joint of the rock golem.
After losing the support of the joints, the movements of the rock golem became even slower. Jack took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, forcing the rock golem to retreat step by step. Finally, with a loud noise, the rock golem crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. The whole passage seemed to shake.
After defeating the rock golem, Jack and the adventurers continued to explore deeper into the ruins. They found many precious records about magic and history in this mysterious ruin. These records allowed them to have a deeper understanding of this world and also provided valuable clues and guidance for their future adventures. And there were still more secrets hidden in this ruin, waiting for them to discover and uncover.
