Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 318 Continue to explore the ruins

After destroying the black shadow, Shen Yun's expression did not relax at all. His eyes still revealed a deep vigilance, as if there were countless eyes in the darkness watching them. The fierce battle they had just experienced was just the tip of the dangerous iceberg in this relic. He knew very well that there were still countless unknown dangers lurking in this relic.

After collecting the bodies of the dead Lin family members, they continued to travel through the ruins. The ruins were filled with an oppressive atmosphere, and the dim light made it difficult to see the road ahead. Shen Yun walked in front, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. Lin Ruyi and Lin Cheng followed behind him, also looking nervous.

They moved forward carefully in the winding passage. Along the way, they rescued several Lin family members. The rescued members had fear and fatigue in their eyes, but when they saw the arrival of Shen Yun and others, a glimmer of hope ignited in their eyes.

However, during this period, many Lin family members were killed. Every time they saw a Lin family member lying in a pool of blood, their hearts were filled with grief and anger. Those young lives came to this relic with visions and hopes for the future, but they did not expect to suffer such a misfortune.

As time went by, more and more Lin family members gathered together. Everyone's face was tired and sad, and the air was filled with a heavy atmosphere. They began to count the number of people, and the result was heartbreaking. A full third of the Lin family members were killed. Looking at those companions who lost their lives, everyone's eyes were a little red.

Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi stood in the crowd, surrounded by the exhausted and heavy figures of the surviving Lin family members. They stared at each other solemnly, and the air was filled with tension and uneasiness. Their eyes met, as if conveying countless emotions and worries at that moment.

They all understood that this area was too strange, and the longer they stayed, the more dangerous it would be. They couldn't let more people fall into this unknown fear and danger. After a brief discussion, Shen Yun made a difficult decision.

"Ruyi, you should lead everyone out of the ruins first and continue on the originally planned route." Shen Yun's voice was steady and firm, as if this was the inevitable choice after careful consideration. His eyes revealed an unquestionable determination. Although he was also nervous about the unknown, he tried to make himself look calm.

Lin Ruyi frowned slightly, and the worry in her eyes surged like a tide. She stared at Shen Yun closely and asked, "Brother Yun, what about you?" There was a tremor in her voice, she was afraid to hear Shen Yun's answer, but also eager to know his plan.

"I'll stay and continue exploring. I always feel that this area hides some important secrets." Shen Yun's eyes flashed with a persistent light, which contained both curiosity about the unknown and determination to solve the mystery. He knew the danger of this relic, but a certain intuition in his heart told him that there might be something important hidden here, and he couldn't just leave like that.

"But it's too dangerous here. I'm worried about you staying here alone." Lin Ruyi tightly grasped the sword in her hand, and the blue veins on the back of her hand bulged slightly due to the force.

"Don't worry, I will be careful. You have seen in these few battles that the spiritual power in my body has a great killing power against these strange black shadows. You take everyone away from here, so that I can let go and do what I want." Shen Yun gently patted Lin Ruyi's shoulder and gave her a comforting look. His eyes were full of tenderness and determination, trying to make Lin Ruyi believe that he was capable of handling everything.

"But..." Lin Ruyi wanted to continue to say something. She had a lot of words in her heart, including worry about Shen Yun, fear of the unknown, and reluctance to give up everything they had experienced together. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to find a reason to make Shen Yun change his mind.

"Don't worry, if it's really impossible, I will withdraw. Even if I can't win, it's still very easy for me to leave." Shen Yun stretched out a finger and gently pressed Lin Ruyi's lips, stopping her from continuing. His fingers were warm and gentle, as if they carried a reassuring power. He smiled at Lin Ruyi, his eyes full of pampering and comfort.

Lin Ruyi knew Shen Yun's character. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. She bit her lip, and a hint of helplessness and determination flashed in her eyes. She knew that she could not become a burden to Shen Yun, and she had to take everyone away safely. She nodded: "Okay, Brother Yun, you must be careful. We will wait for you outside."

Shen Yun looked at Lin Ruyi, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that Lin Ruyi's worry and reluctance were all due to her concern for him. He patted Lin Ruyi's shoulder again: "Okay, wait for me to come back." After saying that, he turned and looked into the depths of the ruins, his eyes full of determination and courage, ready to face the unknown dangers and mysterious secrets alone.

Afterwards, Lin Ruyi led everyone to orderly exit this strange area. Their figures gradually disappeared into the depths of the ruins, while Shen Yun stood alone, looking in the direction they left.

"Now let me see what is hidden here?" Shen Yun murmured in a low voice, his voice was particularly clear in this quiet and strange ruins. There was a hint of expectation, curiosity, and determination in his words.

Shen Yun took a deep breath, as if to absorb the mysterious aura around him. He slightly adjusted the grip of the long sword in his hand, and the sword body flashing with lightning seemed to respond to his determination, trembling slightly and making a slight buzzing sound.

Then, he moved like a flash of lightning, heading towards the depths of the ruins. The ground beneath his feet was uneven, with all kinds of ancient stones and debris scattered all over, but he walked as if it were flat ground, without slowing down at all.

The surroundings became increasingly dim, as if all the light had been swallowed up by this mysterious area. A strange light flickered on the wall, like the pulsation of some mysterious power. Shen Yun's eyes were firm and sharp, constantly scanning the surroundings, not missing any corner that might hide danger or clues.

The sound of the wind whistled past my ears, as if the ruins were whispering, telling of its former glory and vicissitudes. Shen Yun's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and he could feel an invisible pressure gradually enveloping him, but his steps did not stop at all.
