Naruto Bond

Lu Fei and Naruto continued to move forward along the passage deep in the ruins. The passage became deeper and deeper, and the cold air around them became thicker. The breath they exhaled instantly turned into white mist. The ice crystals on the wall emitted a faint light, barely illuminating the way forward. Occasionally, there was a slight creaking sound from the ground under their feet, as if this ancient ruins was telling the secrets of the years.

Not far away, a huge circular hall appeared in front of them. The dome of the hall was very high and inlaid with dense blue ice crystals, like a bright starry sky. In the center of the hall was a huge ice disk, which was engraved with extremely complex runes. These runes flashed with mysterious light and flowed in a strange rhythm, as if driving some unknown power.

"This disc looks very unusual. Maybe it hides something powerful or a secret." Lu Fei said as he approached the disc cautiously. Naruto followed closely behind him, carefully observing the changes in the runes on the disc.

As they approached the disc, the rune on the disc suddenly glowed brighter, and then, ice-blue rays of light shot out from the disc, interweaving and converging in midair, gradually forming a huge vortex of ice. The vortex spun faster and faster, and a strong suction force emanated from it, starting to pull Lu Fei and Naruto, trying to draw them in.

"Be careful, the suction of this vortex is very strong!" Lu Fei shouted, and hurriedly inserted the Thunder Flame Sword into the ground. He held the hilt tightly with both hands, using the power of the artifact to stabilize his body and resist the suction.

Naruto also used the Shadow Clone Technique, and many of the Shadow Clone Techniques held hands and formed a circle, relying on Lu Fei to fight against the sudden suction. However, the suction of the ice vortex continued to increase, and they felt their feet gradually leave the ground, and their bodies began to slowly float towards the vortex.

While struggling, Lu Fei noticed that the source of the ice vortex's suction seemed to be in the center of the vortex. There was an energy gathering point there, and the light was the strongest. As long as he could find a way to destroy that point, perhaps he could resolve the suction.

"Naruto, attack the energy gathering point in the center of the vortex, that's the key!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to fire various ninjutsu at the center of the vortex. The real Naruto then used "Senjutsu? Lava Release? Rasenshuriken" and threw the high-temperature Lava Release Rasenshuriken at the center of the vortex. The Rasenshuriken, with blazing flames, shuttled through the ice vortex and quickly approached the target.

When the Lava Rasenshuriken hit the energy gathering point in the center of the vortex, a strong energy wave suddenly erupted there, the suction of the ice vortex was instantly disordered, and the light became flickering. Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Demon Breaker", increasing the power of the Thunder Flame Sword to the extreme, and slashed towards the energy gathering point again to intensify its destruction.

Under the combined attack of the two, the ice vortex finally couldn't bear it anymore and shattered, turning into countless ice-blue light particles floating in the air. As the vortex dissipated, the suction force in the hall also disappeared without a trace. The two breathed a sigh of relief and landed steadily on the ground.

"Phew, that was close. These ruins are full of dangers." Naruto said, patting his chest.

"Yes, but the more so, the more important the secret inside is. Let's keep looking for it." Lu Fei responded, his eyes falling on the ice disc again.

After all the trouble just now, the runes on the disc seemed to have changed. The original flowing rhythm became much slower, and some of the runes began to move towards the edge of the disc, as if guiding them to somewhere.

"Look at the changes in this rune. It seems to be giving us a hint. Let's follow the direction it points to." Lu Fei said, and walked towards one side of the hall in the direction of the rune, with Naruto following closely behind.

They walked along a winding passage for a while and came to the entrance of a secret room. The door of the secret room was closed, and there were also some runes engraved on the door, but the style of these runes was slightly different from the ones they had seen before, revealing a more ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Lu Fei went forward and tried to push the door, but found that it did not move at all, obviously there was some kind of restriction. They began to study the runes around the door. Relying on past experience and understanding of mysterious power, Lu Fei slowly injected the power of the Thunder Sword into several key runes on the door. Naruto also condensed chakra at the same time and guided the power to inject into the runes according to specific rules.

As the power was injected, the runes on the door gradually lit up, and then there was a dull sound, and the door of the secret room slowly opened. A stronger mysterious atmosphere came over me. There were several stone platforms in the secret room, and some strange-looking objects were placed on the stone platforms, including an ice horn emitting soft blue light, as if it could awaken the dormant power of ice and snow; an ice crystal shield engraved with mysterious patterns, which seemed to be able to resist powerful attacks; and an ancient book bound with ice paper, the words on the book flickered, and seemed to contain endless knowledge.

"Wow, the things in here don't seem simple. They will definitely be very helpful to us." Naruto exclaimed, his eyes full of curiosity and excitement.

They first walked to the stone platform where the Ice Horn was placed. Lu Fei stretched out his hand to pick up the horn, but just as his hand was about to touch the horn, an icy force suddenly surged out from the horn and turned into an ice curtain that enveloped the horn. Runes flashed on the ice curtain, obviously guarding this treasure and preventing outsiders from touching it easily.

"There is protection again. It seems that this horn is not so easy to take." Lu Fei frowned and said.

They began to observe the ice curtain carefully and found that the runes on the ice curtain were operating according to a special ice energy circulation law, and there were some energy nodes between the runes. As long as these nodes were destroyed in a specific order, they might be able to break the ice curtain and get the horn.

Lu Fei and Naruto looked at each other, and then acted in tacit understanding. Relying on their understanding of energy and runes, they carefully attacked the energy nodes on the ice curtain in the order they had inferred. Lu Fei used the Thunder Flame Sword to release precise fire and lightning power, while Naruto condensed chakra and turned it into a power impact, hitting the nodes again and again.

As they continued to operate, the runes on the ice curtain began to flash more and more chaotically, the icy power gradually became unstable, and the light of the ice curtain slowly dimmed. Finally, the ice curtain disappeared, and Lu Fei successfully picked up the ice horn and blew it gently. A melodious horn sounded, and suddenly, the whole secret room was filled with a thick ice power. The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and a thick layer of ice crystals began to condense on the wall.

"This horn is so powerful, it might come in handy in the future." Lu Fei said, carefully putting the horn away.

Then, they came to the stone platform where the ice crystal shield was placed. This time, Naruto tried to take the shield. Similarly, a layer of protection appeared around the shield. It was a mesh shield formed by rays of ice light. Complex runes flashed on the shield, exuding a powerful defensive aura.

As they did before, they began to study the runes and methods of breaking the shield. After some exploration, they found that as long as they used the power of opposite attributes, that is, attacks containing fiery power, to impact the specific rune combinations on the shield, they could break the shield.

So, Lu Fei used "Flame Lightning Slash" to gather the flame power on the sword, and slashed at the rune combination on the shield in the order of breaking. Naruto also used "Senjutsu? Melting Release? Rasenshuriken" to throw the high-temperature Rasenshuriken at the same target. The two attacks hit the shield one after another, causing a strong energy collision. The rune light on the shield flashed a few times and finally dissipated. Naruto successfully picked up the ice crystal shield.

"With this shield, our defensive capabilities will be greatly enhanced." Naruto said happily, carrying the shield behind him.

Finally, they came to the stone platform where the ancient book was placed. Looking at the mysterious words flashing on the book, Lu Fei gently turned the pages and found that it contained many long-lost ice spells and some ancient legends and secret places about the far north of the continent. This information was of great value to them in further exploring the continent and enhancing their strength.

"You must keep this book well. The content inside is very useful." Lu Fei said, putting the book away carefully.

"Well, we have gained a lot in these ruins, but it seems that there are still many places that have not been explored. Do you want to continue looking?" Naruto asked.

"Of course we have to continue. Maybe there will be other unexpected gains." Lu Fei responded.

They carried the treasures obtained from the secret room and went deeper into the ruins.
