Chapter 176 Treasure Guardian (2)
The guardian was moved by their courage and perseverance and handed them the hourglass.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan happily took the hourglass, but before they could take a closer look, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. The originally peaceful core area of the ruins was instantly enveloped by a powerful magical power, and a group of mysterious figures slowly emerged amidst the flashing light.
These figures were tall and majestic, emitting powerful magical power that made people's hearts flutter. They were the guardians of the treasure, and everyone's eyes were cold and firm, as if announcing that no one could easily take away the treasure here.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at each other, seeing vigilance and determination in each other's eyes.
"Intruder, hand over the hourglass, otherwise you will never leave here alive!" The leading guardian's voice was low and powerful, as if it was a judgment from ancient times.
Chu Mohan tightly grasped the sword in his hand and took a step forward. "We have gone through untold hardships to obtain this, and we will never give it up easily!"
The guardian sneered, "Then don't blame us for being rude!" As he said that, he waved his hands and a powerful magical light shot towards Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan.
Chu Mohan reacted quickly. He raised his sword, and a layer of blue light instantly appeared on the sword, forming a shield to block the attack. However, the powerful impact still made him take a few steps back.
Seeing this, Gu Qianning formed seals with her hands and muttered something. Then a green magical force surged out of her hands and turned into vines that entangled the guardians. However, the guardians just waved their sleeves lightly and shattered the vines.
"A mere trifle!" a guardian sneered.
Immediately afterwards, another guardian clasped his hands together and chanted a spell. In an instant, countless sharp stone spikes emerged from the ground and stabbed towards Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan.
Chu Mohan pulled Gu Qianning up and jumped up, avoiding the attack of the stone spikes. In the air, he injected magic power into the sword, swung it hard, and a stream of sword energy slashed towards the guardians.
The guardians quickly formed a magic circle to resist the sword attack. The two sides fought back and forth, and for a while, the magic lights intertwined and the battle was extremely fierce.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan gradually felt powerless, as the magical power of the guardians was too strong. But they had no intention of retreating, and had only one belief in their hearts: they must protect the hourglass.
"Mo Han, this is not a solution. We must find their weakness!" Gu Qianning shouted.
Chu Mohan nodded, "Be careful, I'll observe!"
During the fierce battle, Chu Mohan discovered that every time the guardians launched a powerful magic attack, a gem on their chest would flash.
"Qian Ning, attack the gems on their chests!" Chu Mohan said loudly.
Gu Qianning understood what he meant. She concentrated her magic power, a magic bow and arrow appeared in her hand, and she aimed at the gem on the chest of a guardian and shot an arrow.
The guardian didn't expect that they would discover this weakness. He was unable to dodge in time, and the gem was shattered, and his magical power was immediately weakened a lot.
Seeing this scene, Chu Mohan and Gu Qianning became more confident. They cooperated well and continued to attack the gems on the guardians' chests.
The guardians began to panic, and their attacks were no longer as fierce as before.
"Now!" Chu Mohan shouted, and all the magic power in his body burst out, turning into a ray of light and rushing towards the guardians.
Gu Qianning also used her strongest magic to provide support to Chu Mohan.
Under their fierce attack, the guardians fell one after another. But just when they thought victory was in sight, the leading guardian suddenly stood up.
An extremely powerful dark magic emanated from his body, and the surrounding space was distorted by this magic.
"You made me angry!" he roared.
He raised his hands, and a huge black magic ball appeared in the sky, smashing towards Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan.
Chu Mohan and Gu Qianning felt unprecedented pressure, but they did not give up. The two of them leaned on each other tightly, gathering all their magic power together to form a huge magic shield.
The magic ball collided with the shield, making a loud noise that shook the earth. The light was so bright that it was impossible to open your eyes.
As the light gradually dissipated, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan found themselves still standing in the same place, while the leading guardian fell to the ground, and the dark magic on his body disappeared without a trace.
"We...we succeeded!" Gu Qianning said weakly.
Chu Mohan showed a relieved smile, "Yes, we succeeded."
However, before they could catch their breath, new changes occurred in the ruins. The surrounding walls began to collapse and the ground began to shake violently.
"Oh no, this place is going to collapse!" Chu Mohan exclaimed.
Gu Qianning hurriedly took out a flying magic weapon from the space, "Quick, let's leave!"
The two jumped onto the flying magic weapon and quickly flew towards the exit.
During the flight, rocks kept falling and hitting them, but they avoided dangers one after another with their strong will and superb skills.
Finally, they flew out of the ruins and landed on an open space outside.
"Finally it's out..." Gu Qianning suddenly collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
Chu Mohan was also exhausted, but he still managed to stand up and looked at the hourglass in his hand. "Anyway, we got it."
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the sky.
"Hahahaha, do you think you can take away the hourglass like this?"
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan looked up and saw a mysterious figure appear in the air.
"Who are you?" Chu Mohan asked vigilantly.
"I am the real owner of this treasure!" said the mysterious figure.
It turned out that the previous guardian was only the first line of defense, and the real test had just begun.
The mysterious figure waved his hand, and a powerful force enveloped Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan. They found themselves unable to move, as if their bodies were pressed down by a heavy burden.
"If you want to get the hourglass, you must pass my test!" said the mysterious figure.
Gu Qianning gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what the test is, we will not back down!"
The mysterious figure smiled and said, "Very good, then I will see what you can do."
With a flick of his finger, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were drawn into a mysterious space where time and space became distorted, and they faced all kinds of strange sights and dangerous traps.
Sometimes, they would fall into endless darkness and find no way out; sometimes, they would encounter powerful magical storms and be almost torn to pieces.
But Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan never gave up. They supported each other and looked for a way out together.
During a crisis, Gu Qianning accidentally fell into a trap and her body fell rapidly. Chu Mohan jumped down without hesitation and grabbed her hand.
"Qian Ning, don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you!" Chu Mohan said loudly.
With Chu Mohan's encouragement, Gu Qianning regained her spirits. They worked together and finally found a way to escape the trap.
After a long struggle and hard work, they finally found the exit of this mysterious space.
When they returned to the real world again, a mysterious figure appeared in front of them.
"You have passed the test, and the hourglass of time is yours." said the mysterious figure.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were ecstatic. They took the hourglass and felt its powerful force.
However, they also know that with this power comes great responsibility.
After leaving the ruins, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan continued their journey. They brought the time hourglass with them, ready to use it to save more people and create a better world.
On the way, they came across a village shrouded in dark magic. The people in the village fell into a deep sleep and could not wake up.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan decided to use the power of the time hourglass to save the village. They turned the time hourglass upside down and activated the magic inside.
Instantly, a warm light enveloped the entire village. The dark magic was dispelled, and people woke up from their slumber, with happy smiles on their faces.
"You saved us!" The villagers burst into tears of gratitude.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan smiled and said, "This is what we should do."
After leaving the village, they heard that a kingdom was being invaded by an evil wizard. The king and his people were living in dire straits.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan went to the kingdom without hesitation. They used the power of the time hourglass to help the kingdom's army gain an advantage on the battlefield.
In the end, they successfully defeated the evil wizard and saved the kingdom.
The king rewarded them with countless treasures and lands to thank them, but Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan refused.
"Everything we do is not for wealth and honor, but for justice and peace," they said.
In the following days, the names of Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan spread throughout the continent. They became heroes in people's minds and were admired and loved by countless people.
However, they did not become complacent because they knew that there were still more people who needed their help and more justice that needed to be upheld.
During one of their adventures, they came to a mysterious island where a strange creature lived. They possessed powerful magical powers but were controlled by an evil organization.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan decided to liberate these creatures and let them regain their freedom.
In the battle with the evil organization, they encountered unprecedented powerful enemies, which not only possessed superb magic skills, but also had a strict defense system.
But Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan did not retreat. They fully exerted their wisdom and courage to break through the enemy's defenses again and again.
After a thrilling battle, they finally defeated the evil organization and freed the controlled creatures.
The creatures were extremely grateful to them and gave them their blessings and gifts.
During another adventure, they discovered an ancient magic circle that had been sealed for thousands of years and was said to contain great secrets and power.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan decided to unlock the seal of the magic circle and explore the mystery contained therein.
However, the process of unlocking the seal is full of dangers. The magic circle contains powerful magic backlash, and if you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces.
But they were not stopped by fear. With their deep understanding of magic and firm belief, they gradually unlocked the seal of the magic circle.
When the seal was broken, a powerful magic power surged out, which contained ancient knowledge and powerful magic skills.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were immersed in this magical power, constantly absorbing and comprehending the mysteries contained therein.
After a period of training, their magical abilities were greatly enhanced.
