Li Lin widened his eyes, staring in disbelief at the newcomer. "Lao Zhang? What are you doing here?" 0
 
"The world is full of surprises, brother," Lao Zhang said with a bitter smile as he approached, the wrinkles on his face deeper than Li Lin remembered. "This cursed place is no good for anyone." 0
 
Xiao Xing watched Lao Zhang warily, letting out a low hiss. Li Lin gently stroked its feathers, soothingly saying, "Don't be nervous, little one. This is my old comrade." 0
 
Lao Yang and Liya exchanged glances, clearly surprised to encounter one of Li Lin's acquaintances in such a place. 0
 
"How did you find this place?" Lao Zhang asked, looking around with a flicker of unease in his eyes. 0
 
Li Lin briefly explained their predicament but remained puzzled by Lao Zhang's appearance. "What about you? How did you end up here?" 0
 
Lao Zhang avoided Li Lin's gaze, his tone vague. "It's a long story. We should leave this place first; it's not safe." 0
 
Noticing Lao Zhang's unusual reaction, Li Lin felt alarm bells ringing in his mind and subtly signaled for Liya and Lao Yang to stay alert. 0
 
"Wait," Liya suddenly spoke up. "We just discovered something important. Can we take a look at these murals first?" 0
 
Lao Zhang's face turned pale in an instant. "Murals? What murals?" 0
 
Li Lin keenly picked up on Lao Zhang's strange reaction. "These ancient relics on the walls—what do you know about them?" 0
 
Lao Zhang's gaze darted around, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. "I... I'm not very familiar with these things. You'd better not touch them." 0
 
 
At that moment, Xiao Xing suddenly broke free from Li Lin's embrace and flew towards the energy core, its body emitting a faint glow once more, resonating with the core. 0
 
"No!" Lao Zhang shouted suddenly, his voice filled with fear. "Don't let it get close to that thing!" 0
 
Li Lin grabbed Lao Zhang by the collar. "What do you know? Speak up!" 0
 
Lao Zhang trembled, deep fear evident in his eyes. "I... I was forced. They threatened me to keep watch here." 0
 
"Who?" Li Lin pressed. 0
 
"The Raiders Group," Lao Zhang whispered. "They are searching for an ancient weapon, believing that this ruin holds secrets." 0
 
Liya looked at Xiao Xing in astonishment. "So, Xiao Xing really has a connection to this ruin?" 0
 
Lao Zhang nodded. "That creature... it might be the key, but I don't know how exactly." 0
 
Li Lin released Lao Zhang and fell into deep thought when suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed from the corridor. 0
 
"Damn it, it's the raiders!" Lao Zhang said in terror. "They're coming!" 0
 
Li Lin quickly made a decision. "Liya, Lao Yang, take Xiao Xing and go ahead. I'll hold them off." 0
 
"No way!" Liya insisted firmly. "We're leaving together." 0
 
 
At that moment, Xiao Xing suddenly let out a sharp cry, its body radiating a dazzling light, causing the entire ruins to tremble violently. 0
 
"What happened?" Lao Yang asked in panic. 0
 
Li Lin looked at Xiao Xing, a strange feeling swelling within her. "It's... protecting us." 0
 
The light enveloped the entire team, and the ground began to collapse. Li Lin felt darkness engulf her as she lost consciousness. 0
 
After an unknown amount of time, Li Lin slowly opened her eyes to find herself in an unfamiliar wilderness, surrounded by her teammates, all still unconscious. 0
 
Xiao Xing curled up against Li Lin's chest, breathing weakly. It seemed to have exhausted all its strength to protect everyone. 0
 
Li Lin gently stroked Xiao Xing's feathers, filled with questions and worries. What had happened? What secrets lay within the ruins? What was the Raiders Group plotting? 0
 
Most importantly, what kind of secret was hidden within Xiao Xing? 0
