Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 157 The Perilous Ruins: 3 Seconds – The Real Person's "Limit"

The stone door slowly opened, releasing an ancient and mysterious aura mixed with powerful spiritual energy fluctuations that inspired awe. Zhang Peng and Cao Long both temporarily stopped their fight, their gazes fixed on the gradually opening stone door, their eyes filled with anticipation and vigilance.

Li Ming and Lin Wan'er quickly walked to Zhang Peng's side. Li Ming lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Peng, we don't know what's hidden behind this door. We have to be careful." Lin Wan'er gently tugged at Zhang Peng's sleeve, her expression worried, "No matter what, we'll be together."

Cao Long snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "You few think you can make a profit in these ruins? Don't be scared out of your wits later." With that, he stepped into the stone gate first.

Zhang Peng and the others exchanged glances and followed closely behind. Upon entering the ruins, they found themselves in a long passageway. The walls were inlaid with gems that emitted a faint glow, illuminating the path ahead. Strange runes and patterns were carved on both sides of the passageway, seemingly telling a story of a forgotten history.

The group proceeded cautiously when suddenly, a deep roar echoed from ahead. Immediately afterward, a colossal guardian beast emerged from the darkness. This beast was the size of an ox, but its entire body was covered in sharp scales; its eyes gleamed with a blood-red light, and it spewed forth raging flames.

"Be careful, this guardian beast is very powerful!" Zhang Peng shouted, quickly mobilizing his spiritual power to prepare for battle. He unleashed his five elements spiritual power, transforming it into a huge shield that protected everyone within it.

Cao Long was not to be outdone. He brandished his sword and unleashed a fierce swordsmanship attack on the guardian beast. However, the guardian beast's scales were incredibly hard, and his attacks only left shallow marks on them.

"Damn it, how can this monster be so difficult to deal with!" Cao Long cursed, his face full of anxiety.

Zhang Peng focused his attention, observing the guardian beast's attack patterns. He discovered that the guardian beast would briefly charge up before each attack, which was its weakness.

"Listen up, everyone! When it charges up for its attack, we'll all attack together!" Zhang Peng shouted.

Everyone nodded in agreement. As the guardian beast charged up again, preparing to unleash its flames, Zhang Peng unleashed his full power, fusing the five elements' spiritual energy, lightning power, and the power of time into a powerful attack that shot towards the guardian beast. Li Ming, Lin Wan'er, and the others also unleashed their own spells, and in an instant, various lights intertwined, sweeping towards the guardian beast.

The guardian beast, struck by the group's attacks, let out a painful roar. Its body swayed a few times, seemingly quite injured. However, it did not retreat; instead, it grew even more enraged and charged at the group again.

Just as everyone was locked in a fierce battle with the guardian beast, Cao Long suddenly had an idea. He quietly circled around behind the guardian beast, preparing to launch a sneak attack. However, as soon as he got close, the guardian beast seemed to sense the danger, suddenly turned around, and lashed out at him with its massive tail.

Cao Long couldn't dodge in time and was struck by the tail, sending him flying and crashing heavily into the wall of the passage. "Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with terror.

"Haha, Three-Second Real Person, you're already done? You only lasted less than three seconds!" Li Ming couldn't help but mock.

Cao Long's face was ashen. He struggled to his feet, his heart filled with resentment. He knew that if things continued like this, he would not only fail to obtain the treasures in the ruins, but he might also lose his life.

Just then, Zhang Peng suddenly realized that the guardian beast's eyes seemed to be its fatal weakness. He concentrated his mind, merging the power of the four divine artifacts with his own spiritual power to form a dazzling light, which he shot towards the guardian beast's eyes.

The light struck the guardian beast precisely in the eye, causing it to let out a deafening scream as its body trembled violently. Its attacks became chaotic and disordered, and the flames on its body gradually died down.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the group launched an attack, and finally, the guardian beast crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

After defeating the guardian beast, the group continued on their way. They walked along the passage for a long time before finally arriving at a huge stone chamber. In the center of the chamber stood a massive stone platform, upon which rested a box radiating golden light.

"Could this be the treasure from the ruins?" Lin Wan'er asked excitedly.

Zhang Peng and Cao Long exchanged a glance, a glint of greed flashing in their eyes. They both rushed towards the stone platform, eager to be the first to grab the box.

However, just as they approached the stone platform, a powerful restrictive force suddenly surged from it, repelling them.

"This restriction is incredibly strong!" Zhang Peng said, frowning. He felt that the power of this restriction was stronger than any restriction he had encountered before.

Cao Long was unwilling to give up, so he once again exerted all his strength in an attempt to break through the restriction. However, his attack was like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing the slightest ripple.

"Hmph, you think you can break through this restriction?" Zhang Peng sneered. He began to carefully examine the runes on the restriction, trying to find a way to break it.
