Chapter 480: Encountering the Guardian Spirit in the Ruins and Negotiating with the Guardian Spirit
Lin Feng and his companions obtained the treasure and were about to embark on their journey home. However, just as they were about to leave the ruins, a new crisis quietly descended.
Everyone walked along the passage they had come from, feeling both excited and nervous. After all, in this mysterious ruins, unexpected dangers could arise at any time.
"Brother Lin, we have such a big harvest this time. We must let those guys take a good look at it when we go back." Wang Meng said with a smile as he walked.
Lin Feng frowned slightly, "Don't be careless. We haven't left the ruins yet, so everything is still uncertain."
Zhao Xue agreed, "Lin Feng is right. We should be cautious."
Li San was silently calculating the distance. "Based on our speed, we should be able to get out soon."
At this moment, a strange fog suddenly filled the passage, enveloping everyone.
"What is this?" a disciple shouted in panic.
Lin Feng stopped and said, "Everyone, be careful, there's something strange about this fog."
Before he finished speaking, a sinister laugh was heard in the fog.
"Hahahaha, do you think you can take the treasure so easily?"
Everyone was shocked and tightened their weapons.
"Who is it? Come out!" Wang Meng shouted loudly.
As laughter echoed, a figure slowly emerged from the mist. It was a guardian spirit emanating a powerful aura.
The guardian spirit's eyes flashed with a strange light, "I am the guardian spirit of this ruins. You greedy guys, don't even think about taking the treasure away!"
Lin Feng took a step forward and said, "Senior Guardian Spirit, we are not greedy people. These treasures are of vital importance to our sect. We need to use them to improve our strength and protect the world."
The guardian spirit snorted coldly, "Stop your sweet talk, you all have to stay today!"
After saying that, the guardian spirit instantly launched an attack, and a powerful wave of spiritual power hit everyone.
Lin Feng reacted quickly and waved his sword to block, "Everyone, spread out and be careful!"
Wang Meng roared and rushed forward, "I'm not afraid of you!"
The guardian spirit dodged Wang Meng's attack by moving sideways, and with a backhand swing, he pushed Wang Meng back.
"Wang Meng!" Zhao Xue was extremely anxious and quickly cast a healing spell.
Li San observed the Guardian Spirit's movements from the side, "Everyone, pay attention, its attacks follow a pattern!"
While Lin Feng was dealing with the guardian spirit, he shouted, "Li San, quickly find its weakness!"
Li San stared at the guardian spirit, his brain working rapidly.
"Found it! Its left armpit is weak!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng changed his sword style and stabbed towards the guardian spirit's left armpit.
The guardian spirit was startled and tried to resist.
At this moment, Wang Meng rushed up again and cooperated with Lin Feng tacitly.
"Look at me!"
The guardian spirit gradually fell into a passive position.
"Try harder!" Zhao Xue shouted.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the guardian spirit's aura began to weaken.
"Damn you guys!" the guardian spirit roared unwillingly.
Lin Feng said, "Senior Guardian Spirit, we have no intention of offending you. As long as you let us go, we promise not to disturb the peace of the ruins again."
The guardian spirit was silent for a moment, "Never mind, perhaps this is fate's arrangement, you can go now."
The fog gradually dissipated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking towards the exit...
The guardian spirit's breath began to weaken under the joint attack of everyone. This chapter will begin the negotiation with the guardian spirit.
Although the guardian spirit's momentum had weakened, it still stared at Lin Feng and others vigilantly. The spiritual power around it fluctuated sometimes strong and sometimes weak, showing its inner restlessness.
Lin Feng put away his sword, took a step forward, bowed slightly and said, "Senior Guardian Spirit, I apologize for any offense I caused you earlier. I hope you can forgive me."
The guardian spirit snorted coldly: "Hmph, you intruders have disturbed the tranquility of the ruins. How can you be forgiven so easily?"
Wang Meng couldn't help but say, "We didn't do this on purpose. If it weren't for the purpose of improving our strength and protecting more people, who would be willing to come to such a dangerous place?"
Zhao Xue hurriedly said, "Senior Guardian Spirit, we do have a deep reverence for the ruins. If we have offended you, we are willing to make amends in other ways."
The guardian spirit was silent for a moment, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Make amends? How can you make amends?"
Li San pushed his glasses and said calmly, "Senior, we can promise that we will never reveal the secrets of the ruins at will, and we will do our best to protect the peace of the ruins."
The guardian spirit looked at them coldly: "Empty words are not enough for me to believe."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, we are willing to swear an oath. If we break it, we will be punished by heaven."
The guardian spirit's expression softened slightly. "A vow? That shows your sincerity."
At this time, a disciple whispered, "Senior Guardian Spirit, we are willing to donate a portion of the treasure we obtained this time to repair the ruins."
A hint of surprise flashed in the guardian spirit's eyes: "Are you really willing?"
Lin Feng nodded firmly: "Of course it's true, I just hope that you can believe us."
The guardian spirit paced back and forth, seemingly thinking about something.
Wang Meng said anxiously, "Senior, please be kind and let us go."
The guardian spirit stopped and looked at everyone: "Okay, I can trust you temporarily, but you must keep your promise."
Lin Feng and others hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
However, just when everyone thought the matter was resolved, the guardian spirit suddenly said, "Wait, there is one more condition."
Everyone's hearts were raised again.
"I want you to complete a task before you can truly leave," said the guardian spirit.
"What mission?" Lin Feng asked.
The guardian spirit slowly spoke, "Deep within the ruins, a sealed evil power is gradually reviving. You must reseal it, otherwise, once this power erupts, it will bring about a great disaster."
Everyone looked at each other and felt a sense of pressure.
Zhao Xue said, "Senior, this evil force must be very powerful. Can we handle it?"
The guardian spirit said, "This is your test, and also your chance to prove yourself."
Lin Feng took a deep breath: "Okay, we are willing to accept this task."
The guardian spirit nodded: "Follow me."
Everyone followed the guardian spirit to the depths of the ruins, where there was a dark atmosphere that made people feel creepy.
"Right here," the guardian spirit said, pointing to a seal emitting a black light in front of them. "The seal has cracked. You must use your own power to repair it."
Lin Feng stepped forward and carefully observed the seal: "Everyone, get ready and inject spiritual power together."
Everyone nodded and began to inject spiritual energy into the seal.
With the infusion of spiritual power, the light of the seal gradually grew stronger, but the repair of the cracks progressed slowly.
"No, this is too slow." Wang Meng said.
Li San said: "We must concentrate our efforts and repair the key parts first."
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the cracks in the seal finally began to heal slowly.
"Try harder!" Lin Feng shouted.
Just as the seal is about to be fully repaired, a powerful force surges from the crack, trying to stop them.
"Oh no, everyone hold on!" Zhao Xue shouted.
Everyone gritted their teeth and tried their best to resist this force.
After a fierce battle, the seal was finally repaired successfully and the dark aura disappeared.
The guardian spirit said with satisfaction: "Yes, you have passed the test. Now, you can leave."
Lin Feng and the others felt relieved. After thanking the guardian spirit again, they left the ruins...
