"That one!" Ah Niu pointed at the golden treasure chest, "That one is a more valuable treasure!"
Ren Xiaoyao and Baimei Heying did not answer. They looked at each other with a determined light in their eyes. They both knew that the test of this treasure house had just begun.
"We have to be careful." Ren Xiaoyao reminded, "There may be traps in this treasure house."
"Trap?" Ah Niu looked around nervously, "What kind of trap do you think it is?"
Ren Xiaoyao shook his head. "I don't know, but we must be careful. We must face this trial with the most vigilant attitude."
They slowly walked towards the golden treasure chest, step by step, and approached it. Suddenly, the ground shook, and a trap opened under their feet.
"Be careful!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted. He pulled Ah Niu and Bai Mei He Ying aside, and a huge iron cage emerged from the trap. There was a figure in the cage, locked by an iron chain.
"Who is he?" A Niu looked at the locked figure, "Is he also the guardian of the treasure?"
Ren Xiaoyao and Baimei Heying did not answer. They looked at the figure with a little surprise. This locked figure turned out to be the one they had not seen for a long time - Lin Feng!
"Lin Feng!" Ren Xiaoyao rushed to the cage, "Why are you here?"
Lin Feng raised his head and looked at them, his face showing fatigue and confusion, "I don't know either, I got lost, and then I was locked here."
Ren Xiaoyao nodded, "We have to rescue him."
"How to save him?" A Niu asked, "How do we open this cage?"
Ren Xiaoyao looked at the cage and thought for a moment, "This cage has a mechanism. We need to find the correct switch."
They searched around the cage and finally found a groove in the side of the cage. In the groove was an ancient key.
"Here's the key!" Ren Xiaoyao picked up the key and inserted it into the keyhole. With a click, the cage door opened.
Lin Feng was rescued. He looked at Ren Xiaoyao and the other two and said, "Thank you."
"You shouldn't thank us." White-browed Crane Shadow looked at him, "You should go find the treasure."
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, "Are you here to look for that treasure too?"
Ren Xiaoyao nodded, "Yes, we are also looking for that treasure."
Lin Feng looked at them, "Do you know where the treasure is?"
Ren Xiaoyao smiled mysteriously, "We know something."
Lin Feng did not continue to ask. He looked up at the golden treasure chest on the stone platform and asked, "Is the treasure in that treasure chest?"
Ren Xiaoyao shook his head, "The treasure chest only contains clues to the treasure."
"Clues?" Lin Feng was a little confused. "What do you mean?"
Ren Xiaoyao smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when you open it."
"So, are we going to open it?" Aniu looked at the golden treasure chest with excitement in his eyes.
"Of course." Ren Xiaoyao said, "This is why we are here."
They surrounded the treasure chest and began to look for the mechanism to open it. Suddenly, the white-browed crane pointed to the bottom of the treasure chest and said, "Look, there is a groove there."
They looked at the bottom of the treasure chest and found a groove with an ancient key in it.
"This key!" Ren Xiaoyao said, "This is the key to open the treasure chest."
They picked up the key and inserted it into the keyhole of the treasure chest. With a click, the treasure chest opened.
"Be careful." Ren Xiaoyao warned, "There may be a trap inside the treasure chest."
They looked inside the treasure chest and found an ancient book inside.
"Is this ancient book the clue to the treasure?" Lin Feng looked at the ancient book, "What is written in it?"
Ren Xiaoyao looked at the ancient book with some ancient characters written on it. He shook his head and said, "I recognize some of these characters, but I don't understand them all."
"So, how do we find the treasure?" A Niu looked at them, "Can you understand?"
Ren Xiaoyao looked at the ancient book and thought for a while, "This ancient book is a treasure map. We have to find the treasure according to the clues above."
"Treasure map?" Ah Niu and Lin Feng were a little surprised. "Then how can we find it?"
Ren Xiaoyao smiled mysteriously, "There is something special about this treasure map. It does not directly tell us the location of the treasure, but requires us to speculate based on the clues above."
"So amazing?" Aniu exclaimed, "Then we have to go find the treasure quickly."
Ren Xiaoyao looked at Ah Niu and Lin Feng, "Are you sure you want to go with us?"
Lin Feng looked at Ren Xiaoyao, "Of course, we are friends."
Ren Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Okay then, let's go find the treasure together."
They began to look for the treasure according to the clues on the treasure map. They passed through the forest, crossed the hills, and came to a mysterious cave.
"This is the place!" Ren Xiaoyao pointed at the cave, "The last clue on the treasure map is here."
They walked into the cave, which was dark and eerie, but they could sense the scent of treasure. They searched in the cave and finally found a huge stone door in a corner.
"This stone gate is the entrance to the treasure!" Aniu shouted excitedly.
Ren Xiaoyao and Baimei Heying did not answer. They walked to the stone door and began to look for the mechanism to open it. Finally, they found a groove on one side of the stone door, and in the groove was an ancient key.
"This key!" Ren Xiaoyao picked up the key and inserted it into the keyhole. With a click, the stone door opened.
They walked into the stone gate, and inside was a huge treasure house filled with gold, silver, treasures, rare cultural relics, and ancient secret books.
"Treasure!" Ah Niu and Lin Feng looked at everything in front of them, "We found it!"
Ren Xiaoyao looked at them, "Yes, you found it. But remember, this is not the wealth we can take away. The wealth here can only stay where it is."
Ah Niu and Lin Feng didn't say anything. They looked at the treasure house in front of them, their hearts full of surprise and expectation. Suddenly, Lin Feng thought of something, "Do you think that only a few people know the secret of this treasure house?"
"You're right, Lin Feng." Ren Xiaoyao nodded. He looked at the treasure house in front of him. "This secret is indeed known to only a few people."
"Who built this treasure house?" Ah Niu couldn't help asking, "Why did these people hide these treasures?"
Ren Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "According to the records in ancient books, this treasure house was left by a great hero in ancient times. He spent his whole life searching for rare treasures in the world so that he could gather all the wealth in his lifetime to fight against those evil forces."
"Evil forces?" Aniu and Lin Feng looked at each other, and a tense atmosphere arose in their hearts.
Ren Xiaoyao continued, "Yes, this hero knew very well that if these treasures fell into the hands of evil people, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, before he died, he told this secret to his best friends and asked them to protect these treasures."
"So, this treasure house is the legacy of this hero." Lin Feng sighed, "He wants to leave these treasures to those who are trustworthy."
"That's right." Ren Xiaoyao nodded seriously, "And now, this treasure house is our mission. We must protect these treasures and not let them fall into the hands of evil forces."
Aniu and Lin Feng also felt Ren Xiaoyao's determination. They stood silently by, feeling a sense of responsibility in their hearts.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside the cave. Ren Xiaoyao and his companions immediately became alert, holding their weapons tightly, ready to fight the invading enemy.
However, when the visitor revealed his true identity, Ren Xiaoyao and his friends were shocked. It turned out that the visitor was their good friend Xiaoyan.
"Xiaoyan, how did you find this place?" Ren Xiaoyao asked in surprise.
Xiaoyan panted and said, "I...I don't know either. I just felt that something happened here, so I followed my feeling and came here."
Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart after hearing this. He didn't expect Xiaoyan to care about them so much that she would come to find their whereabouts even though she was in danger.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this." Xiaoyan said, "We have to get out of here quickly! Someone is following us!"
Ren Xiaoyao and the others felt nervous after hearing this. They didn't expect that they had been followed here. It seemed that they had to take action as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
So, Ren Xiaoyao, Baimei Heying, Aniu and Xiaoyan began to discuss countermeasures, while Lin Feng stayed behind to guard the treasure house to prevent anyone from destroying it.
After a heated discussion, they finally worked out a perfect plan. They decided to use traps and mazes to delay the pursuers, and then escape from the scene with the help of the invisibility charm.
They acted right away! Ren Xiaoyao and his team immediately took action and set up traps using the terrain in the cave. Xiaoyan was responsible for delaying the pursuers to buy them more time.
When everything was ready, Ren Xiaoyao and his team hid in the maze. Soon after, the trackers broke into the cave. However, they did not notice that Ren Xiaoyao and his team had already hidden in the maze.
The pursuers stepped into the trap set by Ren Xiaoyao and his team. A scream was heard, and one of the pursuers was trapped by the ankle and could not move.
Xiaoyan took the opportunity to rush out from the darkness and started a fierce battle with the pursuers. Although Xiaoyan's skills were not as good as Ren Xiaoyao and his friends, her determination and courage surprised the pursuers.
In this fierce battle, although Xiaoyan was injured, she still fought tenaciously. Her tenacity attracted the attention of Ren Xiaoyao and others, and they couldn't help but feel proud of this brave girl.
"Xiaoyan, run!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted, and at the same time he rushed out of the maze, holding a dagger in his hand, ready to fight the pursuer to the end.
The White-browed Crane Shadow followed closely behind and also jumped out of the maze, holding a long sword and with a determined look in his eyes. Ah Niu hid aside, holding a slingshot tightly in his hand, ready to attack the enemy from a distance with stones.
However, just as they were preparing to fight back, they suddenly discovered that the trackers did not intend to fight them, but to loot the treasure house in the cave.
"They are going to steal the treasure!" Aniu exclaimed.
Ren Xiaoyao and his team immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. If they allowed these trackers to steal the treasures in the treasury, they would not be able to complete the mission and might even be punished.
Therefore, Ren Xiaoyao and Baimei Heying quickly approached the pursuers, ready to start a life-and-death fight, while Xiaoyan continued to interfere with the enemy to buy time for Ren Xiaoyao and his team.
In the fierce battle, Ren Xiaoyao and Baimei Heying showed extraordinary martial arts and courage. Although there were many pursuers, Ren Xiaoyao and Baimei Heying were not afraid. They fought against many enemies and defeated them one by one.
In the end, the trackers were all defeated, but they had already looted all the treasures in the treasury. Ren Xiaoyao and Baimei Heying were very frustrated that they had not been able to protect the treasures.
"We failed." Ren Xiaoyao said dejectedly.
Baimei Heying was also sad. They spared no effort to complete the mission, but ultimately failed. Xiaoyan and Aniu also felt deeply disappointed. They also understood that their friends had tried their best.
However, just when they felt despair, Lin Feng suddenly walked out of the treasure house with an ancient sword in his hand.
