Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

Chu Tian and others decided to send people to investigate the ruins first, and this task naturally fell on the investigation team led by Xingying. After all, they had accumulated a lot of experience in previous operations and had a certain ability to deal with various dangerous situations.

Xingying led his team on another journey full of unknowns. They were dressed in light equipment, their eyes full of vigilance and expectation.

"Hey, we're going on an adventure again. I wonder what weird things we'll encounter this time." A team member said with a smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Don't take it lightly. We almost fell into trouble in the ruins last time. We can't be careless this time." Xingying said seriously.

They followed the ancient map and headed towards the mysterious ruins. Along the way, they carefully avoided various possible dangers, such as soul beasts hidden in the bushes and traps that suddenly appeared.

"This road is so difficult to walk on. It feels like playing an exciting level-breaking game." Another team member complained.

"Stop talking nonsense, stay focused, and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time." Xingying scolded in a low voice.

After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at the entrance of the ruins. There was a mysterious atmosphere around the ruins, and the ancient walls were engraved with strange runes and patterns, which made people feel awe.

"This place looks so mysterious. I wonder what secrets are hidden in it." A team member whispered.

Xingying made a gesture to keep quiet, and then walked into the ruins carefully. Their steps were very light, for fear of disturbing something inside.

The ruins were dark and damp, filled with an old smell. The torches on the walls emitted a weak light, barely illuminating the way forward.

"Everyone be careful, there may be a trap here." Xingying warned.

They explored forward step by step, always keeping alert. Suddenly, one of the team members accidentally touched a stone slab on the ground. The stone slab sank slightly, and then countless sharp arrows shot out from the surrounding walls.

"Be careful!" Xingying shouted.

The team members reacted quickly and dodged the sharp arrows. Some jumped to the side, while others used their soul shields to block the sharp arrows. Fortunately, they reacted in time and no one was injured.

"I was so scared. I almost turned into a hedgehog." The team member who triggered the mechanism said with lingering fear.

"Be careful next time, there are dangers everywhere here." Xingying glared at him.

They continued to move forward, and in a room, they found some strange devices. These devices looked like some kind of ancient instruments, but they didn't know what they were used for.

"What the hell is this? It looks so complicated." A team member said curiously.

Xingying carefully observed these devices, trying to find some clues. "These devices may be related to the secrets of the ruins. We must study them carefully."

They began to carefully fiddle with the devices, trying to understand their function, when they heard a low rumbling sound.

"What's that sound?" the team members asked nervously.

Xingying's expression changed: "Not good, maybe we triggered some mechanism."

The roar became louder and louder, and the entire ruins began to shake. Stones on the walls fell one after another, and cracks appeared on the ground.

"Run!" Xingying shouted.

The team members ran towards the exit. During their escape, they found a hidden passage. A strong soul power wave was emanating from the passage, which seemed to lead to the depths of the ruins.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" asked a team member.

Xingying hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go in and take a look. Maybe there are clues we need inside."

They walked into the passage carefully. The passage was very narrow and only allowed one person to pass through. They walked in one by one, their hearts filled with tension and expectation.

After walking for a while, they came to a spacious hall. There were some huge statues in the hall, and the statues were engraved with runes and patterns. In the center of the hall, there was a sparkling crystal ball.

"What is this?" the team members asked in surprise.

Xingying walked forward and looked at the crystal ball carefully. He found that this crystal ball was somewhat similar to the mysterious crystal ball they had found before, but not exactly the same.

"This crystal ball may also hide important secrets." Xingying said.

Just as they were about to study the crystal ball further, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the corner of the hall.

"Haha, you stupid soul masters, how dare you trespass into my territory." A figure walked out from the corner.

The man was covered in a black robe, and his face could not be seen clearly. He exuded a powerful dark soul power, which made people shudder.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Xingying asked vigilantly.

The man in black robe sneered: "I am the messenger of darkness, this is my territory. Now that you are here, don't even think about leaving alive."

After that, the black-robed man released a dark soul wave, attacking Xingying and the others. Xingying and the others quickly dodged and prepared to counterattack.

A fierce battle is about to unfold in this mysterious hall. Can Xingying and others defeat this powerful black-robed man and uncover the secrets in the ruins? Everything is full of unknowns.
