Rift: Countdown to Doomsday

Chapter 224 A New Starting Point ### Chapter 224 A New Starting Point

After a fierce battle, the protagonist Lin Xuan and his party finally succeeded in defeating the enemy. However, their journey is far from over, it is just a new starting point.

**Lin Xuan** walked at the front of the team, gazing at the mountains in the distance, his heart filled with longing and anxiety for the future. **Su Wan'er** followed beside him, her eyes determined.

"Lin Xuan, where are we going next?" Su Wan'er asked.

"I want to go to that mountain," Lin Xuan pointed to the distance, "there seems to be an ancient secret hidden there."

**Zhao Linger** frowned slightly upon hearing this, "But that mountain has always been rumored to be a forbidden area. Do we really want to take the risk?"

Lin Xuan nodded. "We have been through so much, haven't we, just to uncover these secrets? Moreover, our current strength is enough to deal with any danger."

**Wang Yang** waved the sword in his hand and said with a smile: "Boss is right, no matter how dangerous the place is, it can't stop us. Besides, with powerful partners like you around, I have nothing to be afraid of."

After hearing what Wang Yang said, everyone smiled and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

**Lin Xue** stepped forward and held Lin Xuan’s hand, “No matter where you go, I will follow you.”

Lin Xuan felt Lin Xue's warmth and felt comforted. "Thank you, Lin Xue. With you around, I have unlimited courage."

The team reorganized and continued to move towards their goal. After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"This place is indeed different." Lin Xuan looked around and found that the surrounding plants were emitting strange light and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

Su Wan'er squatted down and touched the flowers on the ground. "These flowers actually have a healing effect. This place is not simple."

Lin Xuan nodded, "Everyone be careful, let's explore first."

The team moved cautiously up the mountain, everyone nervously paying attention to the surrounding movements. Suddenly, a low voice came from the front.

"Who dares to break in here!"

A figure slowly walked out of the woods. It was an old man in a black robe, his eyes full of majesty.

Lin Xuan took a step forward and said, "Senior, we have no ill intentions. We just want to explore the secrets of this place."

The old man in black robe sneered, "Young man, your courage is commendable, but this mountain is not a place you can enter."

Su Wan'er clenched the sword in her hand and said coldly: "We have come here and have no intention of retreating."

The old man in black robe raised his eyebrows, "If that's the case, then let me see your strength!"

Before he finished speaking, the old man flashed and instantly appeared in front of Lin Xuan, slapping him in the chest. Lin Xuan reacted quickly and raised his hand to block the attack, but the powerful force made him retreat several steps.

"So strong!" Lin Xuan was shocked. The opponent's strength was far above theirs.

Wang Yang and Zhao Linger also immediately stepped forward and attacked the old man together, but their attacks were easily resolved by the other party.

"We can't go on like this. We have to think of a solution." Lin Xue was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

Lin Xuan's eyes were stern, "Everyone come together, work together, we will definitely be able to defeat him!"

Everyone obeyed the order and displayed their unique skills in perfect harmony. Lin Xuan suddenly burst out, going all out, concentrating his strength on one sword and slashing at the old man.

The old man in black robe faced the attacks from everyone without changing his expression. He waved his hands, forming a powerful barrier to block all attacks.

"Yes, you have some strength." The old man smiled coldly, "but it's not enough."

At this moment, a ray of light descended from the sky and shone directly at the old man. Everyone looked up in astonishment and found a girl in white clothes appeared in the sky. Her eyes were as clear as water and full of mysterious power.

"Senior, please stop, they are my friends." The girl in white landed gently and stood in front of Lin Xuan and others.

The old man in black robe was slightly stunned. "So it's you. Since you said they are friends, I won't make things difficult for them."

Lin Xuan was confused, "Who are you?"

The girl in white smiled. "My name is Snow White, and I am the protector of this mountain. I am moved by your courage and determination. I am willing to help you."

Lin Xuan was delighted, "Thank you, Bai Xue."

Bai Xue nodded, "Come with me, I will take you to uncover the secrets of this mountain."

Under the leadership of Bai Xue, Lin Xuan and others finally entered the depths of the mountain. They found a huge underground palace hidden here, which was filled with various precious treasures and ancient scrolls.

"These are what you are looking for." Bai Xue pointed at the scrolls and said, "They contain many secrets about this world."

Lin Xuan and others were very excited and began to flip through the scrolls, gradually uncovering one mystery after another.

"It turns out that this was once the residence of a great sage, who studied many mysteries about the origin and power of the world here." Lin Xuan muttered to himself as he looked at the scroll in his hand.

Su Wan'er walked to Lin Xuan's side and said, "We know this now, which will be of great help to our future adventures."

Lin Xuan nodded firmly, "Yes, we must continue to work hard to uncover more secrets and protect this world."

As they mastered new knowledge, Lin Xuan and others became more confident. They understood that the road ahead was still full of challenges, but they would face them together, overcome them together, and create their own legend.

A new journey is about to begin. Lin Xuan and his companions set out on a new journey.
