Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Zhang Meng was dazzled by the light of the crystal. The exotic plants around him exuded a soft luster, as if he was in a dream world.

"Don't just stare in amazement, remember our goal." Ye Li reminded with a smile, "This place must have something unusual hidden, we must observe carefully."

"No problem, my eyes are brighter than yours!" Zhang Meng said confidently, walking towards the shining crystal.

“What can you see with your eyes?” Chu Tian rolled his eyes. “Even if you can see, don’t move. What if you trigger some mechanism…”

"I know, I know! I must be careful this time!" Zhang Meng made a dubious promise, "I just want to touch those crystals."

"Don't worry, let's see if there are any clues first." Qin Feng noticed some ancient runes around the crystal and waved to everyone, "The runes here may give us some clues."

"Rune? You might as well ask the crystal directly." Zhang Meng teased, "See if it is willing to give you an answer."

"When did you become so humorous?" Ye Li looked up at him, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"I've discovered a new world!" Zhang Meng said with a grin, "I think I can not only kill monsters, but I can also be funny!"

"Don't be too narcissistic." Chu Tian shook his head helplessly, "You should study those runes quickly."

Several people gathered in front of the crystal and carefully studied the mysterious runes. Qin Feng touched it lightly with his fingers, trying to sense the energy in it: "These runes are describing some kind of ritual, and it seems to be related to the crystal."

"It looks like we have to use this crystal to perform some kind of ritual." Ye Li said seriously, "But to know how to do it, we need to find more clues."

Zhang Meng looked around and suddenly pointed at a sparkling crystal and said, "There's a bigger crystal over there, maybe it can help us!"

"Let's go and take a look!" Chu Tian waved his hand, and everyone walked towards the crystal.

When they got closer, they found that this crystal was larger than the others, transparent throughout, and emitting strong light.

"Is this thing a trap?" Zhang Meng said cautiously, "What if it is also a mechanism..."

"You're thinking too much again." Ye Li shook her head. "It's good to be careful, but we have to try."

"Then let me try it first!" Zhang Meng couldn't wait to reach out to touch the crystal. As soon as his fingers touched the crystal, a dazzling light instantly emitted and the surrounding space seemed to begin to vibrate.

"Hey, why are you here again!" Chu Tian immediately grabbed Zhang Meng, "What did you do again?"

"I just wanted to touch it, I didn't expect crystal to be so sensitive!" Zhang Meng looked innocent.

"What a stupid head you have!" Ye Li sighed helplessly, "Get ready for the next test."

The crystal made a roaring sound, and the surrounding plants began to sway, as if responding to the power of the crystal.

"Everyone be careful!" Qin Feng said vigilantly, "The power fluctuations here are huge, we must stay alert!"

Just as they were about to step back, the center of the crystal suddenly cracked, revealing a small ball of light floating lightly in the air.

"Wow, what is this?" Zhang Meng's eyes widened, and he pointed at the ball of light excitedly, "It looks like some kind of energy body!"

"We must get closer to it and see what it can do." Qin Feng said, and then walked towards the ball of light carefully.

"Wait a minute! This ball of light doesn't look simple." Chu Tian reminded, but his heart was also full of curiosity, "Be careful."

Just as they approached the ball of light, it suddenly emitted a strong light and turned into a beam of light that shot straight up to the ceiling. The cave was instantly illuminated as bright as day.

"It's so blinding!" Zhang Meng covered his eyes with his hands, "I can hardly open them!"

"Hurry up and find a place to hide!" Ye Li shouted, trying to move aside.

"Don't panic, it should be fine." Qin Feng tried to remain calm, "This is the crystal reacting."

The center of the light column gradually condensed into a transparent portal, and the other side of the portal seemed to reflect some kind of scene.

"What...is that?" Chu Tian looked carefully and found that there was a whole new space behind the door, with swaying light and shadow, like a fairyland.

"Should we go in?" Zhang Meng was so excited that he almost jumped up. "It seems very interesting!"

"You can go in if you want? We have to be careful, this is not an amusement park." Ye Li smiled bitterly, "We must know the dangers inside before we go in."

"Then let's test it out first?" Qin Feng suggested, "Let me give it a try."

"I don't think any of you are suitable." Zhang Meng said confidently, "Let me do it, it's okay!"

Just as he was about to take a step, the crystal light column suddenly shook violently and made a low roaring sound.

"Hurry, everyone, stop moving!" Chu Tian reminded while staring at the beam of light, feeling something was wrong.

"I told you to be careful!" Ye Li sighed, feeling a little uneasy, "This beam of light feels more and more wrong."

"Don't worry, it might just be the ball of light testing us!" Zhang Meng looked fearless, although he was actually a little nervous in his heart.

"How about we stay here and see how it reacts?" Qin Feng thought for a while and decided to wait and see.

Sure enough, the vibration of the light column gradually subsided, the light gradually dimmed, and the space behind the door seemed to become more real.

"It seems like it's testing us." Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as we stay calm, we will definitely pass."

"But this door does look very attractive." Zhang Meng muttered, "I can't help but want to go in."

"If we can find a way to control this ball of light, maybe we can get in smoothly." Chu Tian pondered, "Then we have to go back and look at those runes again."

"Good idea, we have to learn how to unlock this door." Qin Feng nodded, "Don't be anxious, be patient."

So, everyone returned to the huge crystal and began to study the ancient runes carefully, trying to unravel the secrets contained therein.

"I think these runes are some kind of ancient spell." Qin Feng said seriously, "If we can decipher them, maybe we can control the power of the light ball."

"Come on, Brother Meng, what do you think?" Ye Li teased, "Anyway, you have a 'smart heart'."

"Hehe, I don't want to be hit by you!" Zhang Meng coughed and pretended to be in deep thought, "I think there must be a core in this place, which may be the source of energy for the crystal!"

"Core? Can you find it?" Chu Tian seemed unconvinced.

"Of course! My intuition tells me so!" Zhang Meng said seriously, "Besides, I'm the best explorer!"

"We really have to thank you for your courage." Ye Li smiled helplessly, "Then go find it quickly."

Full of confidence, Zhang Meng began to look carefully around the huge crystal, looking for a possible core.

"Here, I can feel the fluctuation of energy. It seems... it's in this direction!" Zhang Meng pointed excitedly at the wall on one side.

"Don't act on your own, take your time." Qin Feng followed worriedly, his eyes always alert.

After some effort, Zhang Meng finally found a small groove near the crystal, and the runes around the groove were glowing faintly.

"That's it!" Zhang Meng said excitedly, "I think this is the key to opening the light column!"

"Are you sure you didn't encounter any trap?" Chu Tian was still worried.

"Of course, don't worry, I will be careful this time!" Zhang Meng plucked up his courage and slowly reached his hand into the groove.

The moment he touched the groove, the rune suddenly lit up and the entire crystal began to emit a strong light.

"Wow, I really succeeded!" Zhang Meng shouted excitedly, and the surrounding light pillars began to gradually shrink, revealing a bright road.

"Hurry, follow!" Qin Feng shouted quickly, and everyone followed Zhang Meng and rushed forward.

Passing through the beam of light, they successfully arrived at another dimension. In front of them was a strange forest with tall trees and glowing leaves, as if calling them.
