Naruto Bond

Lu Fei and Naruto stopped and stared at the flashing runes on the gate, trying to decipher the way to enter the temple. These runes exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, and the light flickered, as if conveying some kind of information.

"These runes look very complicated, as if they are testing our wisdom." Lu Fei said with a frown. He carefully observed the shape and arrangement order of the runes, trying to find the pattern in them.

Naruto also came forward. Although his understanding of runes was not as deep as Lu Fei's, he was also trying to find clues with his keen intuition. "I feel that there is some connection between these runes, just like the mechanisms we cracked before."

Just as they were thinking hard, the runes on the gate suddenly shone brightly, and rays of light shot out from the runes, interweaving into a huge light and shadow pattern in front of them. Some vague images appeared in the light and shadow pattern, like an ancient war scene, or a mysterious sacrificial ceremony, which was elusive.

"Is this a hint to us?" Naruto asked confused.

Lu Fei pondered for a moment and said, "I think these images should be related to the history of the temple or the information about the artifacts. We need to observe them carefully."

They watched the images in the light and shadow patterns intently. As the images kept changing, they gradually understood that this temple was once an important source of power to protect this continent, but was later coveted by an evil force, so the artifact was sealed here to prevent the evil force from getting it. To unlock the seal of the artifact, they must pass the test set by the runes on the gate and prove that they have enough power and justice to protect the artifact.

"So that's how it is. We must pass the test before we can get the artifact." Lu Fei said firmly.

After the light and shadow pattern disappeared, the runes on the gate changed again, and a series of puzzles appeared. These puzzles involved mathematics, logic, and the understanding of the ancient culture of this continent. Lu Fei and Naruto began to solve the puzzles seriously. With their own wisdom and previous adventure experience, they solved the puzzles set by the runes step by step.

When the last puzzle was solved, the runes on the door emitted a dazzling light, and then slowly opened. A powerful energy surged from the interior of the temple, allowing them to feel the powerful aura of the artifact.

They walked into the temple, which was spacious and bright. The walls were inlaid with various gems, emitting colorful light. In the center of the temple, there was a stone platform, on which was placed a divine artifact emitting soft light. The shape of the artifact was like a sword, but the blade was made of flowing energy. The hilt was inlaid with a huge blue gem, which seemed to contain endless power.

"This is the divine weapon we are looking for!" Naruto said excitedly. He couldn't help but want to walk forward and pick up the divine weapon.

Lu Fei stopped him, "Don't be impulsive. There may be other defense mechanisms around this artifact. We have to be careful."

Just as they approached the stone platform, several phantoms suddenly appeared around them. These phantoms were illusory, but they exuded a strong aura of power. They held weapons and attacked Lu Fei and Naruto.

Lu Fei and Naruto immediately entered combat mode, Lu Fei wielded the Thunder Flame Sword and started a fierce sword fight with the phantoms. He found that the attack skills of these phantoms were very advanced, and they could constantly change their attack methods, making them unpredictable.

Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique, and many of the Shadow Clone Techniques fought in close combat with the phantoms. He tried to find the weakness of the phantoms through the cooperation of the Shadow Clone Techniques. During the battle, Naruto found that these phantoms would pause briefly when attacking, which might be their weakness.

"Lu Fei, pay attention to the pauses when they attack, that's their weakness!" Naruto shouted.

After hearing this, Lu Fei immediately adjusted his battle strategy. He launched a fierce counterattack the moment the phantom attack paused. The Thunder Flame Sword hit the phantoms again and again, making their figures even more illusory.

After a hard fight, they finally succeeded in defeating the phantom, and with the phantom gone, the defense mechanism around the artifact was also lifted.

Lu Fei and Naruto walked to the stone platform and carefully picked up the artifact. The moment their hands touched the artifact, a powerful force surged into their bodies, making them feel full of strength.

"The power of this artifact is so strong, we must make good use of it." Lu Fei said.

"Well, with it, we can better protect this continent." Naruto responded excitedly.

They walked out of the temple with the artifact, and the valley seemed to become more vibrant because of the appearance of the artifact.
