Earth's catastrophe, crazy black crystals begin to wreak havoc

Continuing their adventure, the three followed the clues and went deep into the deep valley of Qingcheng Mountain, which was gloomy and terrifying, filled with a strange atmosphere that made people shudder.

"The atmosphere here is so depressing that it makes me breathless!" Axe whispered.

"Yes, but we must have faith and keep moving forward!" Caesar encouraged.

"Don't worry, I am protected by witchcraft, and no demons can get close to me!" Hu Huan said confidently, waving the staff in his hand.

They walked cautiously in the valley, and suddenly, a huge demon appeared in front of them. The demon exuded a foul odor and had a hideous face, which made people shudder.

"What the hell is this?" Axe exclaimed.

"Fight it bravely! We can't retreat!" Caesar encouraged.

Axe held his weapon tightly and bravely fought the demon. He swung his sword, and every collision with the demon was accompanied by huge sparks.

At the same time, Hu Huan performed witchcraft, chanted spells, and fired powerful magic bullets. The demon roared in pain, but still attacked fiercely.

Caesar used his wisdom to design a clever trap. He lured the demon into a narrow cave and then sealed the exit with stones, making it impossible for the demon to escape.

"We did it!" Axe cheered.

"That's right, but this is just the beginning!" Caesar reminded.

They continued to move forward and explore along the clues. In the valley, they encountered more monsters. With each battle, they cooperated more tacitly and faced the challenge together.

After going astray, they found a secret room hidden in a cave. There were all kinds of strange mechanisms and treasure chests in the secret room. They excitedly opened the treasure chest and found precious treasures and clues.

"There are so many treasures here!" Axe said in surprise.

"But we can't be confused by these treasures, we have to find our real target!" Caesar reminded.

They continued to explore and crack the mechanisms. In one challenge after another, they gradually approached the truth.

Finally, they came to a huge waterfall. The water was rushing and seemed to lead to another world.

"This is the place we are looking for!" Caesar said excitedly.

"Yes, the water here is so fast, how can we get through?" asked Axe.

Hu Huan was observing the waterfall silently, and suddenly, she discovered a special water flow in the waterfall.

"I know how to get through!" Hu Huan said excitedly.

She guided the water flow, creating a steady channel of water flow, and the three followed closely behind her, successfully crossing the waterfall.

In front of them, there appeared a mysterious lake, which emitted a strange light and made people yearn for it.

Sorry, but there seems to be some confusion. I understand that you want me to continue the previous story and introduce ancient poetry to enrich the content. Let me correct it and continue the story:

---

The three men advanced along the deep valley of Mount Qingcheng, their goal being to reach the legendary mysterious lake. Hu Huan, famous for his witchcraft, guided the water flow, creating a stable water channel. The three men followed closely behind and successfully crossed the rapids of the waterfall.

In front of them, a mysterious lake appeared. The lake exuded a strange light, just like what was described in an ancient poem: "The lake light and the autumn moon are in harmony, the lake surface is calm and the mirror is not polished." The lake water is clear, as if it can wash away the dust in the soul.

This lake has attracted countless believers and tourists for thousands of years. They are eager to take a peek into the secrets of the lake and seek the legendary spiritual energy and wisdom. However, the lake is not plain and ordinary, but contains a profound cultural heritage, just as the ancient poem says: "The water is bright and beautiful when the weather is fine, and the mountains are misty and strange when it rains."

The three of them walked along the path by the lake, feeling the changing light of the lake and the blurry colors of the mountains. They knew that this lake was not only a place of beautiful scenery, but also a vital part of their adventure.

Beside the lake, there is an ancient pavilion with a poem inscribed on it: "When viewed from the side, it looks like a ridge; when viewed from the front, it looks like a peak; they look different from all distances and heights." This poem reveals the uniqueness of Mount Qingcheng. No matter from which angle you look at it, there are different views, and each angle has its own unique charm.

They decided to take a short break in the ancient pavilion, and Hu Huan used this time to tell them the history and legends of Qingcheng Mountain. This place was once a holy place for Taoist practice, and countless masters and hermits sought the truth here, leaving behind a rich cultural heritage.

"Qingcheng Mountain, formerly known as Tianfu Mountain, was named Qingcheng because of its verdant scenery." Hu Huan said slowly, "The mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist, and the scenery is beautiful. It is also known as 'Qingcheng is the most secluded place in the world'."

After listening to Hu Huan's story, the three had a deeper understanding of Mount Qingcheng. They understood that this adventure was not only to find deep-sea pearls, but also to experience and understand the profound culture of this ancient mountain area.

The three of them continued walking along the path by the lake, and suddenly, a handsome young Taoist priest appeared in front of them. He was riding a tall and mighty Qilin, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" the young Taoist asked seriously.

"We are here to explore the secrets of the lake." Hu Huan answered frankly.

The young Taoist frowned slightly, seeming a little hesitant. Then, he suddenly got off the Qilin and bowed deeply to the three people.

"I'll take you to a place where you can unlock the secret of the lake." said the little Taoist priest, with a hint of mystery in his voice.

The three exchanged glances and decided to follow the Taoist priest. They rode on the Qilin, and the Taoist priest led them through the woods by the lake and onto a winding mountain road.

As they walked along the mountain road, the atmosphere around them became increasingly tense. Suddenly, a series of strange cries came from the woods, as if something was approaching.

"Be careful!" the little Taoist priest warned loudly, while taking a sword from the Qilin.

The three of them immediately became nervous. They followed the little Taoist priest closely, ready to deal with any possible danger.

As the sound got closer, a huge figure rushed out of the woods, its eyes flashing fiercely, and it opened its big mouth and pounced on them.

"Hurry, protect yourself!" shouted the little Taoist priest, waving his sword and rushing towards the huge figure.

The three of them drew their weapons and fought side by side with the little Taoist priest. They cleverly dodged the beast's attacks and launched counterattacks at the same time.

The battle lasted for a while, and the three gradually felt exhausted. Just when they were about to give up, the little Taoist suddenly shouted and pointed his sword at the weakness of the giant beast.

The giant beast let out a scream, then fell to the ground and stopped moving.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at the little Taoist priest with confusion and gratitude in their eyes.

"Why are you here?" Hu Huan asked, she felt something was wrong.

The little Taoist smiled and explained, "I am actually the guardian of the lake. I know you are here to explore the secrets of the lake. I brought you here because I know you are kind people, and I hope you can help me unlock the secrets of the lake."

After hearing this, the three people's doubts gradually dissipated, and they decided to help the little Taoist priest unravel the secret of the lake.
