Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 382 The Perils of the Mysterious Mountain Range and Clues to Ancient Artifacts

Stepping into the mysterious, cloud-shrouded mountains, a powerful and unknown force stood like an invisible wall before Zhang Peng and his companions. The air was thick with the smell of dampness and decay, and the surrounding trees were tall and twisted, their intertwined branches almost blocking out the sky, making the interior of the mountains appear exceptionally eerie.

"Everyone be careful, the power in this mountain range is very strange, it seems to be repelling us." Zhang Peng circulated the power of the Chaos Law, forming a faint five-colored halo around his body to resist the pressure of this mysterious power. His eyes vigilantly scanned the surroundings, not missing any movement.

Murong Yu gripped his longsword tightly, the blade trembling slightly as if responding to the challenge of this mysterious power. "Zhang Peng, this power seems to be interfering with the flow of my spiritual energy. My 'Clear Breeze Breaking Clouds Sword' is even a bit difficult to wield." He frowned, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he struggled to adjust the flow of his spiritual energy.

Liu Ruoli gently stroked her jade flute, playing soft sound waves in an attempt to dispel the surrounding mist and find a way forward. However, the sound waves were immediately swallowed up by the mysterious power and vanished without a trace. "This mysterious power interferes too much with the sound waves; I have difficulty detecting my surroundings." A hint of anxiety appeared on her face, and she gripped the jade flute slightly tighter.

Pan Liwei and Cao Long unleashed their dark spiritual power, attempting to find a trace of familiarity in this mysterious environment. However, under the influence of this powerful force, their dark spiritual power became extremely unstable, and their expressions turned very solemn.

“We can’t be stopped here like this.” Zhang Peng took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and used the Law of Chaos to sense the source and characteristics of this mysterious power. Under the unique perception of the Law of Chaos, he discovered that this power seemed to be related to a special mineral in the mountains. This mineral emitted strange fluctuations that resonated with the surrounding environment, forming this powerful repulsive force.

“Follow me, everyone. I’ve found the source of this power,” Zhang Peng said, leading the way towards the ore. The others followed closely behind, proceeding cautiously. As they drew closer to the ore, the mysterious power grew stronger, requiring immense effort with every step.

Finally, they arrived at the ore. The ore was enormous and strange, its surface shimmering with a ghostly blue light and emanating a cold aura. Zhang Peng stepped forward and carefully examined the ore, discovering that it was covered with tiny runes, which resembled the symbols found in the cave.

“These runes might be the key to breaking this mysterious power,” Zhang Peng said, attempting to decipher them using the power of the Chaos Law. Guided by the Chaos Law, he gradually understood the runes' meaning. It turned out that these runes were an ancient restriction, which could only be broken through specific spiritual energy fluctuations.

"I'll give it a try." Zhang Peng concentrated, circulating the power of the Chaos Law, and channeling his spiritual energy at a unique frequency into the ore. As the spiritual energy was injected, the runes on the ore began to flicker, the light growing increasingly intense. Suddenly, a loud bang rang out, the restriction on the ore was successfully lifted, and the powerful, mysterious force dissipated.

"We did it!" Murong Yu shouted excitedly, his voice echoing through the valley.

The group continued their journey, and soon they discovered an ancient temple deep within the mountains. The temple walls were covered in moss, and the roof tiles were broken and incomplete, giving it a dilapidated appearance. However, the temple's doors shimmered with an eerie light, as if guarding something important.

Zhang Peng stepped forward and carefully observed the light emanating from the gate. He discovered that the light was emitted by an ancient magic array, containing immense power. Zhang Peng attempted to use the power of the Chaos Laws to decipher the array, but found it riddled with mysteries that were difficult to unravel.

“This magic array is extremely complex and seems to have a close relationship with ancient artifacts,” Zhang Peng said. “We must find a way to break the array in order to enter the temple.”

Just then, a deep roar suddenly echoed from within the temple, filled with threat. "Watch out, danger!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing the power of the Chaos Law to create a protective barrier around everyone.

From the mist, a colossal guardian beast slowly emerged. Its form was as large as a mountain, its entire body covered in golden scales, each scale shimmering with dazzling light. Its eyes gleamed with golden light, filled with majesty and fury.

"This guardian beast is very strong, everyone attack together!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing the Chaos Law Sword Technique, a five-colored sword aura shot towards the guardian beast.

Murong Yu unleashed the "Gentle Breeze Breaking Clouds Sword," Liu Ruoli played the jade flute, and Pan Liwei and Cao Long unleashed their dark spiritual power. Everyone then used their own spells to attack the guardian beast.

The guardian beast roared, swinging its massive claws as it slammed them towards the protective barrier. "Bang!" The barrier shook violently, and Zhang Peng and the others were thrown back several steps.

"Everyone stay calm and don't panic!" Zhang Peng shouted as he carefully observed the guardian beast's attack patterns, searching for its weaknesses.

During the fierce battle, Zhang Peng noticed that the guardian beast's scales would briefly gap open when it attacked. "Everyone, pay attention, attack the gaps in its scales!" Zhang Peng shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone adjusted their attack methods. Zhang Peng unleashed the strongest strike of his Chaos Law Sword Technique, a five-colored sword aura containing boundless power shooting towards the gaps in the guardian beast's scales. Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, and the others also unleashed their own special skills, attacking the gaps in the guardian beast's scales.

With everyone's combined attack, the guardian beast's defenses were finally breached. It let out a painful roar, swayed a few times, and collapsed to the ground.

As the guardian beast fell, the temple gates slowly opened. An ancient and mysterious aura wafted out. Zhang Peng and the others cautiously entered the temple, knowing that clues to the ancient artifact might lie within its walls…
