Two CEOs fell in love with me during my menstruation
Chapter 196 A matter of life and death
After the baptism of the Frost Temple, the relationship between the three became closer in this life-and-death adventure. Xiaoxiao held the artifact tightly in her hand and felt the cold power it conveyed, as if a cold wind pierced her heart. Although this artifact looks beautiful on the outside, she can feel the powerful power hidden in it, which is both awe-inspiring and terrifying.
They left the snowy mountain and walked down the rugged path. The wind and snow gradually weakened, and the sky gradually brightened, but the chill in the air still lingered. Xiaoxiao looked at the mountain road ahead, thinking about the next plan.
"The power of this artifact is extraordinary, but we need to find the correct way to use it." Qin Wentian's voice broke the silence, his eyes always stayed on the artifact in Xiaoxiao's hand.
"We can go to the Black Forest in the southeast. The ancient library there may contain records about this artifact." Ye Qilin suggested, looking at the map in his hand.
"Black Forest?" Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. She had heard some rumors about that place. It was said that it was called a "forbidden area" and very few people could return safely.
"Yes, the Black Forest. It is the gathering place of ancient wizards, and they left behind many precious documents and magical knowledge. If we can find clues there, we can reveal the true power of this artifact." Ye Qilin's voice was full of determination, and he was full of confidence in this adventure.
"In that case, let's set off for the Black Forest." Qin Wentian did not hesitate at all. He knew that any hesitation in this process would lead to missed opportunities.
They decided to rest for a while before continuing on their way. During this time, Xiaoxiao sat quietly on a big rock, closed her eyes and felt the artifact in her hand. The artifact seemed to have its own consciousness. Although its power was strong, it was difficult to control. Xiaoxiao felt a strange connection, which slowly awakened in her body, making her feel both familiar and strange.
"Xiaoxiao, are you okay?" Qin Wentian noticed that something was wrong with her and walked over to ask with concern.
Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and smiled, "I'm fine, I just feel that this artifact... seems to be conveying some information."
"Transmitting information?" Qin Wentian frowned slightly. He felt uneasy about this mysterious power, but more curious. "What can you feel?"
"I'm not sure." Xiao Xiao shook her head. She tried to explain her feeling. "It seems to be telling me something, but the information is very vague, like some kind of ancient language."
Ye Qilin came over and fell into thought after hearing their conversation, "Perhaps we need more clues to interpret this information. The Black Forest may be where we need to go."
Xiao Xiao nodded. She knew that the most important thing now was to find more clues about the artifact rather than act rashly. They packed their bags and prepared to go to the Black Forest.
The scenery along the way gradually changed from a cold snowfield to a lush forest. As they went deeper, the air in the forest gradually became damp and cold, and the trees around them became denser. The Black Forest was indeed worthy of its name. The dense canopy blocked the sky, making it difficult for light to penetrate. The entire forest seemed to be shrouded in an eternal twilight.
"Everyone be careful. It is said that there are many dangerous creatures in the Black Forest." Ye Qilin warned, his voice low, as if he was afraid of alarming something.
Xiaoxiao followed behind the two people and felt that the air around her seemed to freeze, and even her breathing became heavy. She clenched the artifact in her hand, trying to gain strength from it to fight against this oppressive feeling.
They moved forward cautiously, trying to avoid making any noise. The atmosphere in the dark forest became increasingly eerie, and the trees around them seemed to be watching them in secret, with the leaves rustling in the breeze as if whispering something.
Suddenly, Qin Wentian stopped walking. He looked towards the bushes ahead alertly and whispered, "There's movement ahead. Everyone be careful."
The three of them quickly hid behind a big tree and quietly observed the movement in front of them. Xiaoxiao's heartbeat accelerated, she clenched the artifact in her hand, and felt a cold force coming from her palm.
At this moment, a huge black shadow jumped out of the bushes and pounced on them. It was a huge black panther, with fierce eyes flashing and a low roar coming from its mouth.
"It's a demon beast!" Ye Qilin quickly drew his weapon and joined Qin Wentian in the fight. The black panther was extremely fast, and its sharp claws brought up gusts of cold wind as it pounced fiercely on the two.
Xiao Xiao did not flinch. She concentrated her mind and injected the power in her body into the artifact in her hand. The artifact instantly emitted a cold light, and the air around it seemed to be frozen.
"This is the power of the artifact..." Xiao Xiao whispered, her eyes became calm and firm. She swung the artifact violently, a flash of cold light flashed, and hit the black panther's vital point directly.
The black panther screamed, and then fell heavily to the ground, turning into a cloud of black smoke. Xiao Xiao took a breath, and felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away in an instant.
"You did a great job, Xiaoxiao." Qin Wentian came over and patted her on the shoulder. There was a flash of approval in his eyes, and he was obviously surprised by Xiaoxiao's performance.
"It's the power of the artifact." Xiaoxiao shook her head. She knew that this time she was able to defeat the Warcraft entirely because of the help of the artifact, and she still needed more training to control this power.
"Let's move on." Ye Qilin cleaned up the remains of the monster and signaled everyone to move on.
As they went deeper into the Black Forest, the surrounding environment became darker and more eerie. The trees around them were tall and ancient, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them in the dark. Xiao Xiao felt uneasy, and she knew that they were approaching the core area of the forest.
Just then, they saw an ancient building covered with vines. The outer walls of the building were engraved with complex runes, as if telling ancient stories.
"This is the ancient library in the Black Forest." Ye Qilin said excitedly, "The secret of the artifact should be hidden here."
The three of them walked into the library, which was filled with countless ancient books and scrolls, and the air was filled with a thick smell of dust. Xiao Xiao carefully flipped through the ancient scrolls, trying to find records about the artifact.
Eventually, they found a clue in a dusty ancient scroll that recorded the origin of the artifact and its hidden power, but also mentioned a powerful curse that would have unpredictable effects on the holder.
"It seems that we not only need to master this power, but also be careful to deal with the possible side effects it may bring." There was a hint of worry in Qin Wentian's voice.
"Yes, this will be a test." Xiaoxiao's eyes were firm. She knew that the power of this artifact would be a double-edged sword on their way forward, and she must learn to find a balance between danger and hope.
Everything in the Black Forest seemed to remind them that this road was destined to be full of thorns and challenges, but Xiaoxiao had already made up her mind. She knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they had to persevere, for the goal in their hearts and for the gradually deepening bond between them.
