After going down the mountain, the beautiful CEO chased me

Zhou Botong hid in the dark, feeling mixed emotions.

He was amazed at Chen Ming's bravery and wisdom, and was secretly thinking about how to use the current situation to achieve his own goals.

He knew that if Chen Ming could truly become the savior of this cursed land, then the secrets and power he was pursuing might also come to light.

"Humph, since you are so persistent, I will give you some more ingredients."

A sneer appeared on Zhou Botong's lips. He took out a small jade slip from his arms and crushed it gently.

Suddenly, an even colder aura emanated from the jade slip, interweaving with the already oppressive air around it, forming an even more terrifying atmosphere.

This breath seemed to have life and quickly spread among the group of two-headed snakes, making the already violent beasts even more crazy.

They were no longer afraid of the light of the rune. Instead, as if driven by some evil force, they attacked Chen Ming more fiercely.

Chen Ming felt this sudden change and frowned. He realized that in addition to the two-headed snake group in front of him, there was a more hidden and powerful force controlling everything in secret.

He must find a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible, otherwise not only will he find it difficult to escape, but all the living beings on this land will be doomed.

"Humph, no matter who you are, if you want to stop me, you have to pay the price!"

Chen Ming shouted angrily, the inner energy in his body boiled, and the light on the sword became brighter, as if it was going to tear the night sky apart.

He no longer held back on his strength, and each of his swords contained the power to destroy the world, as he engaged in a desperate battle with the group of two-headed snakes.

At this moment, the ancient rune seemed to sense Chen Ming's crisis. It shone brightly and began to move slowly, finally hovering above Chen Ming's head.

The warm breath emanating from the runes counteracted the cold power, forming an indestructible barrier that separated Chen Ming from the group of two-headed snakes.

"This is... the power to protect the master!"

Chen Ming's heart was shocked. He didn't expect that this rune would protect him so loyally.

With the help of the power of runes, he swung his sword more fiercely, and each attack hit the two-headed snake's vital points accurately.

When Zhou Botong, who was hiding in the dark, saw this, his face turned gloomy.

He didn't expect that Chen Ming could actually activate the rune's power to protect its master, which instantly made his original plan fail.

But he did not give up, but planned his next move more cunningly.

"Humph, Chen Ming, ah Chen Ming, you are still too young after all. Do you think you can defeat me with just these? I, Zhou Botong, am a shrewd man, how could I admit defeat so easily?"

Zhou Botong thought to himself as he quietly retreated to the depths of the Xuanming Pool.

However, he did not notice that the moment he turned around, a gleam of light flashed in Chen Ming's eyes.

"No matter who is behind this, I will catch you and you will pay the price!"

Although Chen Ming's voice was soft, it was filled with unquestionable determination, as if it was a vow he made to himself and a declaration to the unknown enemy.

He knew very well that this battle was far from over and the real challenge might have just begun.

With the help of the brief peace granted by the rune, Chen Ming quickly adjusted his breathing and thought about the next strategy in his mind.

He realized that it might be difficult to completely solve the problem by force alone, and he must find the source of this cold force in order to resolve the crisis fundamentally.

So, he used the light of the rune as a guide and followed a seldom-traveled path deep into the heart of the Xuanming Pool.

Along the way, he not only had to be alert to the attacks of the two-headed snakes that might be launched at any time, but also had to guard against sneak attacks from the dark.

As we go deeper, the surrounding scenes become more and more bizarre.

Ancient trees grew twisted and gnarled, as if twisted by some invisible force.

There is a suffocating feeling of oppression in the air, which makes people feel cold.

But Chen Ming did not retreat. His eyes became more determined and his steps became steadier.

Finally, in the depths of a dark forest, Chen Ming discovered an ancient altar.

Various strange totems and magical instruments were placed on the altar, and in the center was a huge stone statue. The face of the statue was somewhat similar to those two-headed snakes, but its eyes revealed an indescribable majesty and compassion.

At this moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly came over me.

"Is there another inheritance here? Or is there something cruel and inhumane here?"

I looked around curiously, but didn't find any trace. I just felt a dense atmosphere of terror in my heart.

It’s not that I feel fear about this place, but I find myself as if I have stepped into a whole new world.

This kind of world is not accessible to outsiders. Since the ancient prescription appeared in this environment, it means that there are other secrets here.

Taking a deep breath, the situation gradually became serious.

If I am not mistaken, there should be other crises here, but crises also coexist with opportunities.

Just now, Zhou Botong just wanted to avoid the attack of these beasts, but found that he was lost.

At this moment, Chen Ming walked forward step by step, fearing that he would encounter some trouble, so his steps became slower and slower.

As Chen Ming approached the ancient altar step by step, the silence around him was broken by an inexplicable whisper. The voice seemed to come from ancient times, and seemed to be whispering in the ears, making people uneasy.

The totems on the altar flickered eerily in the dim light, and each ray of light seemed to be telling a forgotten history.

Chen Ming clenched the sword in his hand and looked around vigilantly. He could feel a powerful force sleeping under the altar, and the cold breath came from there.

To unlock the secrets of this land, you must confront this force, whether it is good or evil.

“Now that we’ve come this far, there’s no turning back.”

Chen Ming said to himself, he took a deep breath and stepped onto the steps of the altar.

With every step he took, he seemed to feel an invisible pressure, but his will became even stronger.

Just when Chen Ming was about to touch the stone statue in the center of the altar, the statue suddenly opened its eyes. Those eyes seemed to contain the stars and the sea, and seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

Chen Ming's heart was shocked, but he did not retreat. Instead, he looked directly into the eyes of the stone statue and tried to communicate with it.

"Who are you? And what is the secret of this land?"

Chen Ming asked loudly, his voice echoing in the empty altar.

The stone statue did not answer, but the air around it began to fluctuate violently. A powerful energy surged out from the body of the stone statue, wrapping Chen Ming in it.

Chen Ming felt as if he was caught in a whirlpool, and everything around him became blurry.
