"There are indeed quite a few medicinal herbs inside this relic, which should replenish the ones I’m currently missing."

Along the way, Mu Ruyue carefully harvested the herbs on the path, not leaving a single leaf behind.

The rest followed her into the depths of the relic...

At this moment, the entire relic was so quiet that only the sound of their footsteps could be heard, echoing in fine fragments...

Throughout, Zheng Qianqian kept staring at Mu Ruyue, seemingly still unable to recover from the shock...

Such a genius, it was the first time she had seen.

Moreover, the person was a young human...

Thinking of her initial arrogance, Zheng Qianqian gently bit her lip, but her heart was genuinely convinced.

This kind of strength is enough to awe anyone...

"Xiao Yue."

Wu Wang laughed, his eyes sparkling with bright clarity, unwaveringly gazing at Mu Ruyue.

"Where do we need to go now?"

Mu Ruyue paused for a moment, a small curve forming at her lips: "I’m not sure either, there seems to be some powerful force in here..."

That force beckoned Yse, making her want to explore at all costs...

As they drew closer to the depths of the relic, the force grew increasingly stronger, Mu Ruyue’s expression gradually darkened, and a gleam flashed in her eyes...

"There, that is..."

Zheng Qianqian paused, a hint of delight surfacing: "We’ve finally reached the end, that gate might contain what we’re looking for."

Not far away, a rusty iron gate appeared in everyone’s sight...

The path leading to the iron gate diverged into two separate roads, clearly, the other was the one Jimo Yi and others had taken...

"From the looks of it, they haven’t arrived here yet."

Zheng Ran sneered, saying, "Indeed, this path is fraught with dangers. They won’t arrive quickly, so we’ll go in first and see if there’s anything inside."

With that, he stepped forward, entering the rusty iron gate...

Bang!

As the iron gate swung open, a holy light shone through from inside, bathing everyone in its sacred glow...

However, under that glow, another force burst forth, and with a boom, the few closest to it were instantly turned to ash by the light, disappearing from everyone’s side...

Even their presence vanished.

"Father!"

Zheng Qianqian was dumbfounded, terrified as she looked towards the creature within the gate that resembled a lion-tiger Demon Beast.

This Demon Beast radiated a holy light all over, as if surrounded by white light, its entire body exuding a pure and sacred force.

Yet now, this force brought them only lethal intent...

"Isn’t this the Divine Beast Lion Tiger that was imprisoned by the ancestors of the Merfolk Clan thousands of years ago? Why is it here?"

Everyone sharply drew in a breath, deeply shocked...

The Divine Beast Lion Tiger was once captured by the Merfolk Clan’s ancestor at a great cost, its strength surpassing that of the War God. If they were to face this Lion Tiger now, they would have no chance...

Zheng Qianqian bit her lip, her pale complexion growing more translucent, her body trembling from sheer terror.

Just then, the Lion Tiger noticed the presence of these people...
