Two CEOs fell in love with me during my menstruation
Chapter 182 After a short break
After taking a short break outside the cave, Qin Wentian, Ye Qilin and Xiao Xiao continued their journey. At this time, the sky was covered with a thin layer of dark clouds, and the air was filled with a hint of moisture, as if foreshadowing the arrival of a storm.
"We must find a safe shelter before the storm comes," Qin Wentian said with a frown, his eyes scanning the surrounding environment.
Ye Qilin nodded and looked towards the distant mountains, where some ancient architectural ruins could be vaguely seen: "Maybe there is an abandoned temple over there, we can take shelter there temporarily."
Xiaoxiao tightened her coat, feeling uneasy about the unknown road ahead: "We must get there as soon as possible. The weather is changing very quickly. I feel like this is going to rain a lot."
The three of them quickly packed up their equipment and headed towards the architectural ruins in the mountains along a rugged path. As they approached, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, thunder could be heard faintly in the distance, and the tense atmosphere in the air became more and more intense.
Finally, they found a half-ruined ancient temple behind a dense forest. Although the temple had been in disrepair for many years, it still showed its former solemnity and mystery. The temple door was half-closed, and the stone steps in front of the door were covered with moss and weeds, which looked particularly desolate.
"Let's go in," Qin Wentian took the lead and pushed open the heavy temple door.
The interior of the temple was more spacious than they had expected. Although some parts had collapsed, most of the structure was still intact. An ancient statue was enshrined in the temple, and the face of the statue was blurred, as if it was silently watching them.
"Although this place is shabby, at least it can shelter us from the wind and rain," Ye Qilin said. He looked around and confirmed that there was no obvious danger.
Xiaoxiao walked to the statue and gently wiped the dust off it, feeling an inexplicable sense of awe in her heart. Although she did not believe in any gods, she felt an indescribable tranquility in this ancient temple.
"Let's take a break first," Qin Wentian said to the two of them, then took out some dry food and water from his backpack and handed them to Xiao Xiao and Ye Qilin, "Eat something to replenish your energy."
The three of them sat together, enjoying their simple meal in silence. The wind outside gradually grew stronger, and raindrops began to hit the roof of the temple, making a dull sound. Although the temple was warm, their hearts were not at peace.
"Do you think there are any strange things in this temple?" Xiaoxiao asked suddenly. Her voice was a little hesitant, as if she was thinking about something.
Ye Qilin glanced around and said softly, "This temple has obviously been abandoned for many years, but in a place like this, everything is possible."
Qin Wentian shook his head, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "No matter what is here, we must remain calm. We have experienced more dangerous situations than this."
Xiao Xiao nodded. Although she was still a little uneasy, Qin Wentian and Ye Qilin's calmness made her feel much more at ease. She believed that as long as the three of them united as one, they could overcome all difficulties.
At this moment, a faint sigh came from the depths of the temple, as if it was an illusion caused by the sound of the wind, but it was so real. The three of them instantly became alert and exchanged glances. Qin Wentian stood up and motioned for the two to follow him to find out what was going on.
They walked along a stone staircase inside the temple towards the back hall, where the light was dim and the air was filled with a damp smell. As they approached, the sigh became clearer and clearer, as if telling of some endless sadness.
Finally, they came to a closed stone door in the back hall. Qin Wentian carefully observed the stone door and found that it was engraved with ancient runes, which seemed to be some kind of seal. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the stone door, feeling a weak energy fluctuation.
“There may be some kind of power sealed behind this door,” Qin Wentian whispered, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, “but I can’t be sure of its nature.”
Ye Qilin walked forward and tried to push the stone door open, but it didn't move at all, as if it was firmly locked by some invisible force. He turned back and looked at Qin Wentian: "Should we try to open it?"
Qin Wentian pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Now is not the time. We don't understand the situation here, and rash actions may lead to danger. Let's rest first and make a decision tomorrow."
The three returned to the main hall of the temple. Although they were full of curiosity about the stone door, they all understood that the most important thing at the moment was to conserve their energy and face unknown challenges.
As night fell and heavy rain poured down, the entire temple was shrouded in darkness and silence. Qin Wentian, Ye Qilin, and Xiao Xiao gathered together, and in the dim light, they whispered about their next plan.
However, just as they were about to fall asleep, the stone door suddenly made a low roar, as if some huge force was trying to break the seal. The air in the temple suddenly became cold, as if the entire space was shrouded in an invisible sense of oppression.
"It's coming out!" Ye Qilin stood up suddenly, clenched the weapon in his hand, and a serious expression appeared on his face.
Qin Wentian also quickly prepared for battle, his eyes fixed on the direction of the back hall: "No matter what it is, we must be prepared to deal with it."
Xiaoxiao's heartbeat quickened, but she did not flinch, but stood firmly beside the two of them. After so many tests, she had long learned to stay calm in the face of danger.
At this moment, the stone door was suddenly blasted open by a strong light, and a powerful energy surged out, instantly covering the entire temple in a dazzling white light. Qin Wentian, Ye Qilin, and Xiao Xiao were hit by this energy and staggered back, almost unable to stand.
As the light faded, a tall and mysterious figure appeared in front of them. The figure was shrouded in a dark cloak, his face was hidden in the shadows, and only a pair of red eyes flashing revealed endless majesty and power.
"How dare you break in here and destroy the seal?" The figure let out a low and majestic voice, as if it came from ancient times.
Qin Wentian forced himself to calm down and replied calmly: "We have no intention of offending you. We are just passing by here and seeking shelter."
The figure was silent for a moment, as if he was trying to gauge their sincerity. After a moment, his voice rang out again: "In that case, I won't make things difficult for you. But you must complete a task before you can leave here."
Qin Wentian frowned: "What mission?"
The figure slowly raised a hand and pointed to the mountains in the distance: "There is an ancient holy stone hidden there. It is the key to unlock the secrets of this world. You must find it and bring it back here."
Ye Qilin asked calmly: "If we complete the mission, will you let us go?"
The figure nodded, with a hint of coldness in his voice: "I will keep my promise, but if you fail, you will never be able to leave here."
Qin Wentian, Ye Qilin and Xiao Xiao looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement to the task. They understood that this was their only choice.
"We accept this mission," Qin Wentian said firmly, "We will find the holy stone and complete our mission."
The figure nodded slightly, then turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared into the shadow of the temple, leaving only a low echo echoing in the air: "Good luck to you."
As the figure disappeared, the light in the temple returned to normal, as if everything just now was just an illusion. But Qin Wentian, Ye Qilin and Xiao Xiao all knew in their hearts that their adventure had just begun.
