Chat group: All my group members are in the villain camp

Xiaoqing took the clothes and looked them over curiously:

"What is this? It feels cool."

Ye Ming explained, "This is woven from icy silkworm silk."

"It can insulate against heat and keep the body cool."

Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, and she quickly put it on.

I immediately felt a cool sensation and hummed with pleasure.

Ye Ming couldn't help but smile as he looked at her adorable appearance.

After getting dressed, the two began to look around.

Ye Ming frowned and said, "This godforsaken place, we can't even see a living thing."

"I don't know where the system threw us."

Xiaoqing looked around, then suddenly pointed into the distance and said:

"Brother Ye Ming, look over there!"

Ye Ming looked in the direction she was pointing.

In the distance, something seemed to be flashing on the sand dunes.

"Let's go over and have a look."

Ye Ming, holding Xiao Qing's hand, carefully walked in that direction.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a metal plaque half-buried in the sand.

Ye Ming dug it out and examined it carefully.

There were several strange characters engraved on the metal plate.

Ye Ming frowned and said, "What kind of script is this? I've never seen it before."

Xiaoqing leaned closer to take a look and suddenly exclaimed:

"I recognize it! It's ancient dragon script!"

Ye Ming looked at her in surprise and asked, "You recognize this script?"

Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Yes, I've seen it in an ancient book."

The sign above read: 'Forbidden Area, Do Not Enter.'

Ye Ming said thoughtfully, "A forbidden area..."

"Something seems off here."

He looked around and indeed found that the surrounding sand dunes seemed somewhat unnatural.

It looks as if it were artificially constructed.

Ye Ming pondered for a moment, then said to Xiao Qing:

"Let's keep going."

"But be careful, there might be danger here."

Xiaoqing nodded obediently and said, "Yes, I will be careful."

The two moved forward cautiously, constantly alert to their surroundings.

After walking for a short while, a pyramid suddenly appeared ahead.

The pyramid was entirely black, exuding an eerie aura.

Ye Ming frowned and said, "This is..."

"Have we stumbled upon the ruins of an ancient civilization?"

Xiaoqing asked in surprise, "Does such a thing really exist?"

Ye Ming nodded and said, "It does exist."

"However, very few of them have survived to this day."

He examined the pyramid closely and discovered that it was covered with strange runes.

The runes shimmered with a faint light, seemingly still functioning.

Ye Ming's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this pyramid is still in operation?

At this moment, the system prompt sounded:

"Ding! New task generated."

"Mission objective: Explore the mysterious pyramid and search for the 'Heart of Eternity'."

"Task reward: unknown."

Ye Ming said: "..."

He shook his head helplessly; as expected, it was another one of these inexplicable tasks.

But since we're here, we should at least find out what's going on.

He turned to Xiaoqing and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

"But be careful, there might be danger inside."

Xiaoqing nodded and said, "I know, I will stay close to you."

The two arrived at the pyramid and found that the entrance was blocked by a huge rock.

Just as Ye Ming was about to make a move, Xiao Qing suddenly said:

"Wait, I think I saw something."

She pointed to the wall next to the boulder, where some strange patterns were carved.

Upon closer inspection, Ye Ming discovered that the patterns were actually a puzzle game.

You need to press the patterns in a specific order to open the entrance.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this ancient civilization is quite interesting."

Xiaoqing said excitedly, "Let me try!"

She observed carefully for a while, and then began to press the patterns.

As the last pattern was pressed, the entire wall suddenly shook.

The boulder slowly moved aside, revealing a dark entrance.

Ye Ming patted Xiao Qing's head and said, "Well done!"

Xiaoqing smiled smugly and said, "Hehe, it's nothing."

The two exchanged a glance, took a deep breath, and walked into the pyramid.

As soon as he entered, Ye Ming felt dizzy.

A strange smell filled the air, making people drowsy.

He quickly circulated his internal energy, which made him feel a little better.

Xiaoqing also sensed something was wrong and tightly grasped Ye Ming's hand.

Ye Ming comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

As he spoke, he took out two antidote pills and handed one to Xiaoqing:

"Eating this will help you resist the poison gas."

Xiaoqing obediently swallowed the pill and indeed felt much better.

The two continued on and discovered that the pyramid's internal structure was complex.

There are forks in the road and traps everywhere, and you can easily get lost if you're not careful.

Ye Ming secretly rejoiced at his profound cultivation level.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have perished here long ago.

As he moved forward, he carefully observed his surroundings.

Hopefully, we can find some useful clues.

Just then, a strange sound suddenly came from ahead.

Ye Ming and Xiao Qing exchanged a glance, held their breath, and slowly approached each other.

After turning a corner, the sight before them stunned them.

A group of skeletons were seen struggling to carry something.

Their movements were stiff, yet orderly.

They looked like puppets being manipulated by someone.

Ye Ming frowned and said, "This is..."

"Ancient puppetry?"

Xiaoqing exclaimed in surprise, "My God, does such a thing really exist?"

Ye Ming nodded and said, "It does exist."

"However, very few of them have survived to this day."

He examined the skeletons closely and discovered that they were covered in strange runes.

The runes shimmered with a faint light, seemingly the key to controlling them.

Ye Ming had an idea.

He turned to Xiaoqing and said, "Let's follow them and see."

"Perhaps we can find some clues."

Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

The two followed the skeleton cautiously.

After passing through a long corridor, we arrived at a huge space.

In the center of the space was a tall altar, on which sat a black box.

The skeletons placed the things they were carrying around the altar.

Then they knelt down in unison, as if they were worshipping something.

Ye Ming narrowed his eyes, staring at the black box.

He had a vague premonition.

That box may very well contain the "Heart of Eternity" they are looking for.

Just as he was about to step forward to check, something unexpected happened!

Suddenly, the skeletons turned around, their empty eye sockets staring intently at them.

The next second, all the skeletons pounced on him at the same time!

Ye Ming shouted, "Watch out!"

He grabbed Xiaoqing and dodged the attack in a flash.

Xiaoqing, still shaken, asked, "What's with these skeletons?"

Why did they suddenly attack us?
