Through a dense forest, the three of them finally reached the entrance of the valley. There is an air of antiquity and mystery in the air, as if every stone and tree tells an untold story. At the mouth of the valley stands a huge stone monument with three quaint characters engraved on it: "Trial of the Valley".
Mo Xuan's heart sank, and he felt an unprecedented pressure. Ziyan lightly touched the handwriting on the stone tablet, as if trying to decipher the deep meaning contained in it. Mo Yang stared at the deep valley road, and he knew that the next road would be even more dangerous.
As soon as they stepped into the valley road, they felt a wave of vertigo come over them, as if the entire space was slightly distorted. Ziyan reminded softly, "Be careful, there may be a phantom array here." Before they could finish speaking, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, the originally clear path became blurred, and their figures began to become distorted.
Mo Xuan clenched his teeth, trying to stabilize his mind. He recalled the description of the formation in the ancient books, and tried to find a way to crack it. Purple Smoke tried to scratch the ground with the tip of her sword, looking for a true path. Mo Yang closed his eyes and relied on his intuition to move forward step by step.
After some difficult exploration, the three of them finally walked out of the range of the phantom array. Their backs were already drenched in cold sweat, but the trust and tacit understanding between them also deepened silently.
Shortly after they moved on, they encountered a second test, the trap. I saw that the road ahead was lined with strange devices, which seemed to be made by ancient tricks. If you accidentally trigger it, I am afraid that there will be fatal consequences.
Ziyan's brows furrowed, she had studied these mechanisms quite well, and carefully guided the two forward. Mo Xuan and Mo Yang followed, taking every step extremely cautiously. However, just as they were about to pass through the area, a stone slab suddenly loosened, and Purple Smoke's feet sank.
"Purple Smoke!" Mo Xuan exclaimed, almost instinctively reaching out to grab her arm, but he himself lost his balance because of it. Together, the two fell into a hidden cave.
Seeing this, Mo Yang hurriedly stepped forward to check and found that the cave was not deep, but there was a strange light inside. He lowered the rope and helped Mo Xuan and Ziyan climb out. The three of them sat around the edge of the cave, gasping and smiling at each other, although thrilling, but also adding a bit of anticipation of the unknown.
At this moment, Purple Smoke's gaze fell on the light in the depths of the cave. Curious, she walked over and found that the light came from a quaint little box. The box is engraved with bizarre symbols that seem to be out of place in the surrounding environment.
Mo Xuan and Mo Yang also came over, and the three of them carefully opened the box. Inside lies a parchment map with the true location of the Aurora Peak and a secret passage.
Perhaps this is a reward for our courage. Mo Xuan said with emotion.
The three of them put away the map and set off on their journey again. The trials of the valley make them realize that the secrets of the Aurora Peak are much more than they thought. Every challenge is a test of their will and wisdom. And now, they are one step closer to the truth.
