The moment we stepped into the mysterious ruins, an ancient and mysterious atmosphere assailed our nostrils, as if time had stood still here. It was dim all around, and only the occasional flickering glows on the walls illuminated our way forward. I tightly held the End Log in my hand, feeling that it seemed to be trembling slightly, as if having a special reaction to the environment here.
We cautiously walked forward along the passage, with every step full of unknown dangers. The walls on both sides of the passage were engraved with strange patterns and words. Some of the patterns looked like certain creatures, while some of the words were completely unrecognizable. I stopped and carefully observed these patterns and words, hoping to find some clues about the mysterious power from them.
Suddenly, a survivor accidentally kicked a stone. The stone rolled on the ground for a few times and made a clear sound. This sound was particularly harsh in the silent passage. Immediately afterwards, we heard a low growl, as if coming from the ground.
"Bad, we may have alerted something!" I thought to myself. I immediately signaled everyone to get ready for battle. Just then, a group of strange - looking creatures rushed out from the end of the passage. Their bodies seemed to be composed of rocks and metals, their eyes glowed green, and they let out sharp cries from their mouths.
We quickly formed a battle formation and engaged in a fierce fight with these creatures. I waved the weapon in my hand and slashed hard at the head of a creature. After being hit by me, the creature let out a roar. Its body swayed a few times but didn't fall down. It stretched out its sharp claws and grabbed at me. I dodged to the side, avoiding its attack, and then launched a counter - attack again.
During the battle, I found that the weakness of these creatures seemed to be in their abdomens. So, I adjusted my tactics and specifically attacked their abdomens. After a fierce battle, we finally eliminated all these creatures.
After the battle, we continued to move forward. At the end of the passage, we found a huge room. In the center of the room was a high platform, and on the high platform was placed a glowing sphere. The sphere emitted a soft light, illuminating the whole room.
I walked forward and carefully observed this sphere. Suddenly, the sphere emitted a strong light, and I involuntarily closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, I found some strange pictures appearing in my mind. The pictures showed an ancient battlefield, where people were using various mysterious powers in the battle.
"These are... memory fragments?" I was shocked. I realized that this sphere might be a device for storing memories. Through these memory fragments, I learned that this mysterious ruin was the site of an ancient civilization. They once mastered a powerful mysterious power, but were later destroyed for some reason.
In the memory fragments, I also found an important clue. In the depths of the ruins, there was a sealed place where the core of the mysterious power was hidden. As long as we found and unsealed it, we might be able to obtain this mysterious power.
I told this discovery to the other survivors, and everyone was very excited. We decided to continue to go deeper into the ruins to find the sealed place.
We continued to move forward along the passage. Along the way, we encountered various traps and dangers. But with our wisdom and courage, we overcame them all one by one.
In a narrow passage, we encountered a huge stone door. The stone door was engraved with runes, and the runes glowed with a mysterious light, as if warning us not to approach easily.
I carefully observed the runes on the stone door and found that they were somewhat similar to the runes on the End Log. I tried to touch the runes on the stone door with the End Log. Miraculously, the stone door slowly opened.
Behind the stone door was a spacious hall. There were many ancient utensils and books placed in the hall. We carefully searched the hall, hoping to find more clues about the sealed place.
In a corner, I found an old book. I carefully picked up the book and opened the first page. There were some ancient words written on it. I used the power of the End Log to try to interpret these words.
After some efforts, I finally interpreted the content of the words. It turned out that to find the sealed place, we needed to find three keys first. These three keys were respectively hidden in three different places in the ruins. Only by collecting all three keys could we open the door leading to the sealed place.
I told this news to everyone, and we decided to split into three groups to find these three keys respectively. I was in a group with two survivors and set off in one direction.
During the process of looking for the keys, we encountered various dangers and challenges again. But we never gave up. With firm belief and tenacious perseverance, we finally found the first key.
Meanwhile, the other two groups of survivors also brought good news. They also found the second and third keys respectively. We reunited and walked towards the door leading to the sealed place with the three keys.
When we inserted the three keys into the keyholes on the door, the door let out a roar and slowly opened. A powerful aura rushed out from inside the door. We knew that the core of the mysterious power was behind the door.
With excited hearts, we walked into the sealed place. What kind of challenges and opportunities were waiting for us?
