Rift: Countdown to Doomsday

Chapter 256: Challenging the Limits

Lin Xuan stood on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the abyss below. The whistling wind in his ears made his heart beat faster. This was an extreme challenge, and he had to cross this natural barrier to move forward.

Su Wan'er walked up to him and looked at him firmly: "Lin Xuan, are you sure you want to jump? This is a thousand-foot abyss. If you fall in, you will really die."

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and nodded: "I have to go there, there are the clues we need. If we don't try, we will never know the answer."

Su Wan'er frowned, still a little worried: "But this is gambling with your life, is it really worth it?"

Lin Xuan turned around, held her hand, and said gently: "Wan'er, believe me, I will succeed. Moreover, I have the power of the system and will not fail easily."

The instructor stood aside and observed all this calmly. He knew that this was a test that Lin Xuan had to go through. He walked up and patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder: "Young man, courage is commendable, but you must act within your ability. Remember, wisdom and courage are equally important."

Lin Xuan looked at his instructor deeply and nodded: "Thank you for your teachings, I will be careful."

Zhao Linger and Li Hao also came over, their faces full of worry. Zhao Linger asked, "Is there anything we can do to help you?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "You just need to wait here for me and stay alert. I will find a way to bring you there after I get there."

Li Hao clenched his fists: "Brother, take care. I believe you can do it."

Lin Xuan nodded, looking at the cliff in front of him with a determined look. He took a deep breath, then suddenly jumped up and flew towards the opposite rock wall.

In the air, his body was like a flash of lightning, quickly crossing the sky. However, the other side of the cliff was not as close as he thought. Just when he was about to reach it, the rock under his feet suddenly loosened, and Lin Xuan's body instantly lost balance.

"Lin Xuan!" Su Wan'er exclaimed, her face pale.

In the air, Lin Xuan quickly calmed down. He mobilized the power of the system, swung his hands violently, and a ray of light shot out from his hands, firmly grasping the opposite rock wall. He pulled hard and finally stabilized his body, hanging on the edge of the cliff.

"Success!" Zhao Linger breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at Lin Xuan nervously.

Lin Xuan climbed hard and finally stood safely on the opposite rock. He looked back at Su Wan'er and the others and said loudly, "I succeeded! I will come back to pick you up soon when I find a safe way."

Su Wan'er nodded, tears flashing in her eyes: "Be careful, Lin Xuan."

Lin Xuan nodded firmly, then turned and headed deeper into the cliff. He knew that this was just the beginning, and there were more challenges waiting for him ahead.

In the dim light of the cave, Lin Xuan moved forward cautiously, keeping alert at all times. Suddenly, a strange sound came from the front, and he quickly hid behind a rock and observed his surroundings nervously.

A black shadow flashed in front of him, and then a huge monster appeared in his sight. It was a monster with sharp claws and fangs, and bloodthirsty light flashing in its eyes.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, slowly drew out the sword from his waist, and prepared to fight.

The monster noticed his presence, roared, and quickly pounced on him. Lin Xuan responded calmly, dodged the monster's attack, and then slashed at its neck with a sword.

The sword flashed, the monster screamed, and fell heavily to the ground. Lin Xuan did not relax at all, and quickly checked the surroundings to confirm that there was no other danger before continuing to move forward.

In the following exploration, he encountered various dangers, but with the power of the system and his own wisdom, he resolved them one by one. Finally, he found a stone slab engraved with runes deep in the cave.

Lin Xuan carefully studied the runes on the stone slab, and suddenly, a picture emerged in his mind: this is an ancient altar, hiding a huge secret. Only by deciphering these runes can the truth be revealed.

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and began to try to decipher the runes. However, these runes were extremely complex and it took him a long time to decipher part of them.

Just as he was concentrating, suddenly, a powerful force surged out from the rune and directly hit his body. Lin Xuan groaned, staggered back a few steps, but quickly stabilized his body.

"Is this... a protection mechanism?" Lin Xuan muttered to himself, realizing that he had triggered some kind of mechanism.

He did not retreat, but continued to decipher the runes more carefully. After some effort, he finally cracked all the runes, and a ray of light appeared on the stone slab.

A mysterious voice sounded in the light: "Brave challenger, you have passed the test and are qualified to enter the altar."

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward. He knew that the real challenge had just begun, and he was ready for everything.
