Qin Wuyan's eyes suddenly became firm, and the flaming sword shone brighter in his hand, as if sensing the coming battle.
Yuan Ling held the rosary tightly and muttered words, forming a faint aura around her body, preparing to resist the attacks of those wronged souls.
Yuan Tingfeng frowned and took out a stack of Taoist talismans from his arms, each one emitting a dazzling light.
I held the staff tightly, reciting the spell silently in my heart, ready to pour all my magic power into it.
"Don't look directly into their eyes, they are full of heart-wrenching resentment." Yuan Tingfeng reminded us in a low voice, his voice revealing an unprecedented seriousness.
The ghosts came like a frenzy, their faces distorted, and they let out heart-rending cries.
We stood close together, forming a defensive circle.
Qin Wuyan took the lead, dancing with his long sword, and the sword energy rushed towards the innocent souls like fire snakes, knocking them back one by one.
But the ghosts seem endless, and new ghosts are constantly pouring into the battlefield.
Yuan Ling's rosary spins rapidly, releasing beams of brilliance that instantly purify the ghosts rushing toward us.
But there were beads of sweat on her forehead. It was obvious that such a spell had taken a huge toll on her.
Yuan Tingfeng calmly threw out Taoist charms, each one hitting the target accurately, bursting out with dazzling light, and driving away the ghosts.
His movements were leisurely, but there was a sense of urgency in his eyes.
I focused on casting spells, and a series of ice spells and thunder spells were released from the staff. Combined with Qin Wuyan's flame sword energy and Yuan Ling's aura, a powerful offensive and defensive network was formed, which barely resisted the ghost's offensive.
The battle continued in this oppressive space, and the cries of the ghosts and the sounds of our spells intertwined to form a tragic symphony.
We all try our best, but the ghosts seem to never tire of it, with new souls constantly joining the fight.
Just when we were almost exhausted, a strange light suddenly came from the depths. It cut through the darkness and hit the innocent souls directly.
That light contained powerful and ancient power, as if it came from another era.
The innocent souls disintegrated one after another in the light, turning into specks of light dust and scattered with the wind.
We looked up and saw that the light came from the lantern on the stage. Its light became extremely dazzling at this moment, as if it was guarding the peace of this space.
The ghost's offensive finally stopped, and the entire space returned to calm.
We looked at each other and smiled. Although we were tired, our hearts were filled with joy.
We can finally continue our mission.
Qin Wuyan walked towards the lantern and blew lightly, and the flame of the lantern went out.
As the lantern went out, the closed door slowly opened, revealing the way to the next seal.
We took a deep breath, cleaned up the dust on our clothes, and then stepped into the newly opened door.
The passage behind the door is longer and narrower than the previous one, and the walls on both sides are carved with complex patterns. The pictures seem to tell some ancient stories, but the light is too dark for us to make out.
At the end of the passage is a heavy stone door with three vague characters engraved on it - "Wheel of Fortune".
There is a strange mechanism next to the door, which seems to be related to opening the door.
"Everything here reveals ancientness and mystery." Yuan Ling said softly, her fingers gently touching the patterns on the wall, seeming to feel the stories inside.
Qin Wuyan walked to the mechanism, observed it carefully for a while, and then turned to us: "This mechanism is very complicated and requires the correct sequence to open the stone gate."
The four of us gathered around the mechanism and started trying various possible combinations.
This process is extremely long and difficult, because every time the mechanism turns, it will make a dull sound, as if laughing at our incompetence.
Time passes by, and our patience is gradually being worn away.
Just when we were about to give up, the mechanism suddenly made a series of crisp sounds, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing the space behind it.
We walked in and found that it was a huge circular room. There was a high platform in the center of the room, and a huge roulette wheel was placed on the platform. The wheel was engraved with mysterious symbols and patterns.
"Is this the Wheel of Fortune?" I couldn't help but ask.
Yuan Tingfeng stepped forward, observed it carefully for a while, and then nodded: "Yes, this is an artifact that controls destiny. Legend has it that it can change people's destiny."
We walked around the Wheel of Fortune, and then Qin Wuyan suddenly stretched out his hand and gently touched the wheel.
The roulette wheel suddenly spun and made a rumbling sound.
As the roulette rotates, the whole room begins to vibrate, and we feel a powerful force pouring out of the roulette, filling the entire space.
Suddenly, the wheel stopped and pointed to a specific symbol.
We stared at the symbol as it slowly grew brighter, and then a beam of light shot out of the wheel and hit the ceiling of the room.
A huge aperture appeared on the ceiling, with countless light points flashing in it, as if it was a scene from another world.
"This is the portal to another space!" Yuan Tingfeng exclaimed.
We stood there and couldn't believe our eyes.
We stood under that circle of light and took a deep breath.
The light emitted by the aperture is constantly changing, illuminating our faces. Every point of light is like a small world, emitting an alluring light.
Qin Wuyan stretched out his hand and touched the flickering light spots. His fingers seemed to have passed through the entity and touched another dimension.
He turned around and said to us: "The power here is very special, we must be careful."
We all nodded, understanding that this expedition was far more dangerous than any previous one.
Everyone adjusted their breathing and got ready to face the unknown challenge.
Yuan Ling closed her eyes and began to recite the spell, and a faint halo formed around her body.
She is the most powerful of us, and this operation relies heavily on her.
Yuan Tingfeng was checking his props. Every talisman was his weapon.
His face was expressionless, but his eyes revealed firmness and determination.
I held the staff tightly and recited the mantra silently in my heart.
Although I am not as experienced as them, I will not hold you back.
After we were ready, Qin Wuyan took the lead and stepped into the aperture.
His body gradually became blurred, and finally disappeared completely from the circle of light.
Yuan Ling walked in immediately, followed by Yuan Tingfeng.
I took a deep breath and followed.
The moment I passed through the aperture, I felt myself surrounded by a powerful force.
A white light flashed before my eyes, and I felt dizzy.
