Rebirth: A big star falls in love with me

Zhu, Zhang Yu and Wen Xin escaped and stood outside the cave, looking at the still mysterious forest in front of them, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

The sunlight filtered through the treetops, dappling onto them, bringing a hint of long-lost warmth, but also highlighting the fatigue and fear on their faces.

"What the hell is this place? How could there be such a weird cave?" Zhang Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, with a hint of anger in his tone, as if he was dissatisfied with this unknown fear.

Zhu stared into the depths of the forest, his eyes gleaming with a glimmer of exploration. "There must be something strange here. The altar in the cave and the strange objects are definitely not accidental.

I think we may have accidentally touched upon the secrets of an ancient civilization."

Wen Xin was trembling slightly, obviously not yet fully recovered from the thrill of the moment.

"Let's...let's get out of here as soon as possible. I don't want to experience that kind of horror again."

Zhu patted Wen Xin's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here.

Besides, don’t you think?

All these experiences are like destiny guiding us to uncover the secrets that have been hidden for years.”

Zhang Yu's eyes became firm after hearing this. "Yes, Zhu is right.

Now that we have come this far, there is no turning back.

Besides, the strange items in the cave may be the biggest gain of our trip."

The three of them exchanged a determined look and decided to go deeper into the forest to search for the legendary treasure or clues.

They walked along a seemingly untraveled path. The trees around them grew denser and denser. The air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and leaves, but also mixed with a subtle weirdness.

"Listen, what's that sound?" Wen Xin suddenly stopped and her face turned pale. Her ears trembled slightly, as if she was catching some subtle sound.

Zhu and Zhang Yu also calmed down and listened carefully.

Sure enough, a low and rhythmic knocking sound came from not far away, as if some ancient ritual was taking place.

"Let's go and take a look." Zhu waved his hand and led the two of them carefully towards the direction where the sound came from.

After passing through a dense bush, their eyes suddenly opened up. In front of them, they saw a group of people in strange costumes dancing around a fire. Under the firelight, their faces were covered with colorful patterns, which looked particularly strange.

In the center of the fire, there was a huge black stone slab engraved with complex runes, which were similar to the items on the altar in the cave.

"These people... who are they? Are they the descendants of that ancient civilization?" Zhang Yu asked in a low voice, with a hint of shock in his voice that was hard to conceal.

Zhu frowned and searched the crowd, trying to find the leader.

"It looks like some kind of ritual. We have to be careful not to alarm them."

At this moment, an old man in a long robe slowly walked out of the crowd. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see into people's hearts.

He slowly walked up to the three of them and said in an ancient and profound language: "Visitors from afar, why are you disturbing our sacrifice?"

Zhu was startled, but remained calm and replied in Mandarin: "We are travelers who stumbled into this place unintentionally. We are curious about your culture and history and have no ill intentions."

The old man was silent for a moment, as if examining them.

“Since you have no intention of offending us, please watch our ceremony.

But remember, everything here is sacred and cannot be desecrated."

Zhu and the other two nodded in agreement, stepped aside, and quietly observed this mysterious ceremony.

As the ceremony progressed, they gradually realized that this sacrifice seemed to be inextricably linked to the altar and the strange object in the cave.

And the runes on the black stone slab seem to be the key to unlocking an ancient secret.

"It seems that our adventure has just begun." Zhu whispered to Zhang Yu and Wen Xin, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

In this forest full of unknowns and dangers, how will Zhu, Zhang Yu and Wen Xin uncover the secrets of the ancient civilization?

Can they find the real treasure, or face even more terrifying tests?

Everything will be revealed in the next adventure...

As the ceremony progressed, an indescribable solemnity and mystery filled the air.

The flames jumped and reflected on the huge black stone slab. The runes seemed to be activated and began to flash with a faint blue light. An ancient and powerful force spread in the air.

Zhu, Zhang Yu and Wen Xin stared with bated breath, their hearts filled with shock and awe.

They knew that they were witnessing a secret spanning thousands of years gradually coming to light.

Suddenly, the ceremony reached its climax. A deafening drumbeat sounded, accompanied by low chanting. The old man walked slowly towards the black stone slab, holding a copper staff carved with intricate totems.

He muttered something, and the copper staff drew complex tracks in the air, finally lightly touching a rune on the stone slab.

At this moment, the air around the stone slab seemed to be torn apart, and a deep black hole slowly appeared, emitting a heart-pounding chill.

Everyone was shocked, even those who were performing the ceremony stopped what they were doing and focused their eyes on the black hole.

"It seems that this is the entrance we are looking for." Zhu lowered his voice, with an adventurous light in his eyes.

He knew very well that behind this black hole were endless secrets and wealth, but it could also be a death trap.

Zhang Yu and Wen Xin looked at each other. Although their hearts were filled with fear, they were more curious and eager about the unknown.

They followed Zhu closely, cautiously approaching the black hole, ready to find out what was inside.

At this moment, the old man suddenly turned around and stared at them with sharp eyes, as if he could see through their thoughts.

"Dear visitors from afar, do you know where is behind this black hole?

It is the resting place of our ancestors and also an endless testing ground. Anyone who trespasses will be severely punished.”

Zhu took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, “Respected elder, we have no intention of offending you.

But we are explorers, seeking ancient secrets.

Please believe that we have enough courage and wisdom to face any challenge. "

The old man was silent for a moment, as if weighing their determination and courage.

Finally, he nodded slowly, took out a jade pendant engraved with ancient runes from his arms, and handed it to Zhu.

"This is a token left by our ancestors. It can protect you from a fatal injury. But remember, the real test lies in your heart and wisdom."

Zhu Zhengzhong took the jade pendant, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He bowed deeply to the old man, and then took Zhang Yu and Wen Xin and resolutely stepped into the black hole.

Inside the black hole, it was pitch black, with only the faint light from the flashlight in his hand illuminating a few feet ahead.

The air was filled with cold and damp, and every step seemed to be on the edge of the unknown.

They walked along the winding passage, their hearts filled with anxiety and anticipation.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front, accompanied by hurried footsteps.

Zhu and the other two immediately became alert, and the light from their flashlights drew trails in the darkness, trying to capture the source of the sound.

At this moment, a huge figure suddenly rushed out from the darkness and headed straight towards them.

It was a monster that looked like a wolf but had fangs. There was a bloodthirsty green light flashing in its eyes and saliva dripping from its mouth. It was obvious that it regarded them as prey.

"Be careful!" Zhu shouted, quickly drawing the saber in his hand and preparing to fight.

Zhang Yu and Wen Xin followed closely behind, each taking out their weapons and ready for battle.

A thrilling battle unfolded in the darkness. Zhu and his two companions fought a desperate battle with the monster with their extraordinary courage and wisdom.

Finally, after a fierce battle, they successfully repelled the monster, but they were left with several deep scars on their bodies.

"It seems that this is just the beginning." Zhu panted and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He knew very well that the real test was still ahead, and only by staying vigilant and calm could he survive in this unknown area.

As they went deeper, they encountered more challenges and dangers, and uncovered more secrets about that ancient civilization.

Every life-and-death struggle made them more determined and mature, and the jade pendant also saved them from danger many times at critical moments.

In this underground world full of unknowns and dangers, how will Zhu, Zhang Yu and Wen Xin continue their adventure?

Can they uncover the ultimate secret of that ancient civilization and find the real treasure? Everything will be revealed in the following adventure...

As the exploration progressed, Zhu, Zhang Yu and Wen Xin gradually adapted to the darkness and weirdness of the underground world.

They learned how to move flexibly in narrow passages and how to stay calm and alert in dangerous environments.

Every challenge deepens the tacit understanding and trust between them.

One day, they came to a spacious underground palace.

The gate of the palace was closed, and it was carved with intricate totems and runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Zhu stared at the gate, feeling an indescribable excitement and awe in his heart.

He knew that behind this door, the ultimate secret of their journey might be hidden.

"Are you ready?" Zhu turned to look at Zhang Yu and Wen Xin, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Zhang Yu tightly gripped the shotgun in his hand and nodded: "No matter what's inside, we will face it together."

Although Wen Xin was still afraid, she mustered up her courage and said softly, "I believe in you and I believe in myself."

Zhu smiled slightly, took out the jade pendant given by the old man from his backpack, and rubbed it gently.

Under the dim light of the flashlight, the jade pendant emits a faint blue light, as if it contains some mysterious power.

"Open the door." Zhu took a deep breath and placed the jade pendant on the rune on the door.

At this moment, the door slowly opened, and an ancient and powerful aura blew in.

Zhu and the other two looked at each other and stepped into the palace without hesitation.

The interior of the palace is spacious and magnificent, with murals carved on the walls depicting the history of ancient civilization. Each mural is lifelike, as if telling one legendary story after another.

In the center, there is a huge sarcophagus, which is also carved with intricate totems and runes, emitting a faint blue light.

"It seems that this is what we are looking for." Zhu walked slowly towards the sarcophagus, his heart full of anticipation and nervousness.

He knew very well that the sarcophagus might contain the greatest gain of their trip, but it might also contain deadly danger.

Zhang Yu and Wen Xin followed closely behind, holding their weapons tightly, ready to deal with any possible emergencies at any time.

Zhu walked to the sarcophagus, took a deep breath, and slowly reached out his hand to touch the runes on the sarcophagus.

At this moment, the sarcophagus suddenly emitted a low roar, as if activated by some force.

Then, the sarcophagus slowly opened, and a powerful airflow gushed out of it, blowing Zhu and the other two back one after another.

When the air currents subsided, they looked carefully and saw an ancient corpse lying quietly in the sarcophagus. The corpse was wearing a glittering golden armor and holding a jewel-studded sword in its hand.

And on the chest of the corpse, a gem shining with dazzling light attracted their attention.

"Is this... the legendary 'Dragon Soul Gem'?" Zhu muttered to himself, with a gleam of disbelief in his eyes.

He knew very well that this gem possessed extremely powerful power, enough to rewrite history and even control life and death.

Zhang Yu and Wen Xin also showed shocked expressions. They had never thought that they could actually find this legendary gem.

However, just as they were about to go forward to take the treasure, a low roar suddenly came from deep within the palace.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out from the darkness and headed straight towards them.

It was a monster that looked like a dragon but had wings. Its eyes flashed with bloodthirsty green light and it spewed flames from its mouth. It obviously regarded them as sinners who dared to invade the holy land.

"Not good! Retreat quickly!" Zhu shouted and quickly pulled Zhang Yu and Wen Xin back towards the palace gate.

But the monster kept chasing them, and its flames drew blazing trails of light in the darkness, as if it wanted to devour them completely.

A life-and-death battle unfolded in the palace. Zhu and his two companions fought a desperate battle with the monster with their extraordinary courage and wisdom.

However, the monster was extremely powerful, and every attack put them in danger.

At this critical moment, Zhu suddenly remembered the jade pendant given to him by the old man.

He quickly raised the jade pendant high and shouted, "In the name of the ancestors, grant me strength!"

At this moment, the jade pendant suddenly burst out with dazzling light, tightly wrapping Zhu and the other two.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful force surged out from the jade pendant, turning into a golden light and shooting straight towards the monster.

The monster let out a sharp roar under the light, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the air. However, Zhu and the other two were protected by the jade pendant and remained safe and sound.

After the battle, Zhu and the other two stood in the center of the palace, looking at the "Dragon Soul Gem" lying quietly in the sarcophagus, their hearts filled with emotion and awe.

They knew that although this gem possessed immense power, it also required someone with enough wisdom and courage to wield it.

And they are exactly that kind of people.

Carrying this gem, Zhu, Zhang Yu and Wen Xin set out on their journey home.

They knew that although this expedition was full of dangers and challenges, it also allowed them to gain growth and friendship.

And that "Dragon Soul Gem" will become the most precious treasure in their lives, forever illuminating their way forward...
