"Attack!"
Suddenly, Feng Dong bellowed.
At the same time, Lin Long and the other four struck out with their palms towards the spot that Feng Dong wanted them to attack.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang …
Five sounds rang out at the same time. In the next moment, the runes on the wall suddenly flapped crazily.
In a cave like this, the entire wall seemed to be twisting to the left.
"Looks like the wall is about to open!" Seeing this scene, everyone rejoiced.
However, their joy did not last for even a breath's time. In the next moment, a powerful energy suddenly rebounded from the stone wall and acted on Lin Long and the other four.
The energy was not weak. In an instant, Lin Long and the other four were all sent flying. Apart from Lin Long, the other four directly spat out a mouthful of blood.
After that, the runes on the stone wall dimmed once more and finally fell silent.
Everyone present did not need to ask to know that this round of activation had failed. Moreover, they had paid a price, which was that they were all injured. Fortunately, their injuries were not serious.
"Elder Feng Dong, how did we fail?" After calming down the blood in his chest, Yang You could not help but frown.
Everyone else also focused their attention on Feng Dong.
"The activation method was wrong." Feng Dong smiled bitterly.
"Do you mean to try again?" Li Qianjing asked.
"That, I'm not confident. That's because I only know the method just now." Feng Dong smiled bitterly.
"Then what should we do? We can't just return without any results, right?" Everyone said unwillingly.
Since there was the Five Elemental Key here, even if the other side did not have something like the Jinwen Sword, there would definitely be other treasures. Therefore, how could they be willing to give up just like that?
"This …" After pondering for a moment, Feng Dong said again, "Although I don't have a method, I believe that the island that Miss He mentioned definitely has the method to activate the Five Elemental Key!"
"Then Miss He, did you see anything similar to the Five Elemental Key on that island?" Wan Bai could not help but ask.
"I didn't see anything like that on that island. There weren't even any runes." He Yudan shook her head.
"That means that the island most likely doesn't have the method to activate the Five Elemental Key." Someone could not help but say.
"I think so too," Yang She agreed.
Feng Dong shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Because even if there are talismans, Miss He wouldn't be able to discern them. For example, if I hadn't asked Elder Li Da to attack this wall, then how would all of you know that the Five Element Key is here?"
Feng Dong's words caused Yang She and the others to be speechless.
"Alright, let's go and explore the island!" Yang He said.
The other beastmen also agreed. Under He Yudan's lead, everyone quickly arrived at the stone wall that was connected to the rope.
Looking down from here, they could only see a dense fog. They couldn't see the situation below at all.
"The island is below us. Everyone just needs to climb down along the rope," He Yudan said.
After saying that, she took the lead and climbed down the rope. Linlong followed her.
Seeing the two of them going down like this, the others dared to follow.
After climbing for a while, Linlong could vaguely see the situation below. He immediately jumped down.
In next to no time, he landed firmly on the ground. The reason he hadn't dared to do that earlier was naturally because the fog was too thick, and he couldn't see the situation below at all.
He Yudan jumped down as well when she saw Linlong like this.
It wasn't long before Yang She, Feng Dong, and the other grade 4 beastmen descended on the island as well. After that, many others descended as well.
"This is the island," He Yudan said as she gazed at the others.
"Miss He, bring us to the stone house where we found the skeleton," said Feng Dong immediately.
"Alright." He Yudan strode towards the right as she spoke.
The others followed behind her, and it wasn't long before they arrived before a stone house.
"This is the stone house," He Yudan said as she pointed at the stone house.
"Okay." Feng Dong nodded, and then he strode in.
Yang She and the others followed behind him, and finally, Linlong walked in as well.
Even though the stone house wasn't very large, all of them could still enter it together. Of course, those below grade 4 beastmen wouldn't dare follow them in.
This was because they could tell that the house wouldn't be able to contain anything if they went in.
After sweeping a few glances, Linlong didn't discover any runes in the house.
It was the same for Feng Dong and the others. However, Feng Dong didn't leave immediately. Instead, he went to the place where the skeleton was, and punched here and there.
In the end, he shook his head and sighed. "It seems like there aren't any here."
A group of people walked out, and after walking out, Feng Dong looked at He Yudan and said, "Miss He, bring us to the sea of flowers to take a look."
"Okay." He Yudan nodded, and then she turned around and led the others to the left.
At this moment, many of them were somewhat excited. Previously, they heard from He Yudan that the sea of flowers had healing effects, and naturally, they wanted to personally try it to see if it was true.
Not long after, the group arrived at the inner lake of the island.
At this moment, He Yudan exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong, Miss He?" Everyone asked curiously.
"Previously, this inner lake was filled with strange petals, so I called it a sea of flowers. But now …" He Yudan didn't continue speaking.
However, even if she didn't say it, everyone knew what she was going to say. There was no sea of flowers in the inner lake, and it looked completely dark.
"Miss He, previously, you said that the sea of flowers has healing effects. Is it true?" Li Qianjing asked.
"It was naturally true before, but now that there are no more petals, I don't know if it still has that effect." He Yudan shook her head.
At this moment, someone from the Feng family volunteered, "Let me try."
Turning his head to look at the youth, Feng Dong nodded and said, "Alright, go and try."
The youth immediately jumped into the inner lake.
He had two sword wounds on his body that hadn't healed, and they affected him greatly during battles. This was the reason why he couldn't wait to try it out.
Bang!
With such a loud sound, he jumped into the inner lake.
Seeing that he was fine after jumping into the inner lake, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They were a little worried before. After all, the inner lake looked completely dark, and they didn't know if there was any danger below.
After seeing that there was no danger, the young man quickly submerged the two parts of his wounds into the lake. However, what made him frown was that the lake water did not seem to have any effect on his wounds. After he submerged himself into the lake water, he could only feel a piercing pain.
However, he still held onto a trace of hope, so he didn't stand up. After a long while, he finally stood up.
During the entire process, the others didn't move because they also wanted to know how the youth felt in the inner lake.
The more they looked, the more they felt that something was wrong. They thought that the youth was frowning, and at the last moment, he cried out and jumped out of the lake.
When they looked at his wounds again, not only did they not heal, but they also showed signs of worsening.
"Miss He, this lake water doesn't have the effect you said at all!" Feng Dong couldn't help but frown as he looked at He Yudan.
Feng Dong's expression scared He Yudan so much that she subconsciously took a step back. She hurriedly said, "It really did before."
Lin Long pulled her back, then looked at Feng Dong and said coldly, "Elder Feng Dong, Miss He just reminded us that there are no such petals in the lake!"
"Then I misunderstood Miss He," Feng Dong said.
Lin Long's strength was obvious, so he naturally didn't want to have a conflict with him.
Although the youth had such a problem, there were still many people who went to the lakeside to give it a try. However, what made their faces turn ugly was that the lake water didn't have the effect that He Yudan said.
Lin Long also went to the lakeside to give it a try, but he also didn't find anything special about the lake water.
Then, someone looked at Feng Dong and asked, "Where should we go next?"
Feng Dong didn't answer and walked along the lakeside. No one knew what he was doing, so they didn't follow behind him.
While everyone was puzzled, Feng Dong walked around the inner lake and returned to his original position. During this process, he stopped at a certain spot by the lakeside from time to time.
After returning to his original position, he actually had a smile on his face.
"Elder Feng Dong, did you find anything?" Everyone hurriedly asked.
"I found something. I found that the five corners of the inner lake coincide with the Five Elements Technique. It seems to be resonating with the Five Elements Key above," Feng Dong said.
"Oh, Elder Feng Dong, did you find a way to break the Five Elements Key?" Someone asked joyfully.
"No." Feng Dong shook his head.
"Then what should we do?" Everyone couldn't help but be puzzled.
"Don't worry. Get the five of them to stand on the five corners and activate the Five Elemental Runic Magic Formation hidden here. I'll be able to figure out what's going on. By then, we should have a way to break through the Five Elemental Key," said Feng Dong.
"Do we still need five level-4 beasts?" Wan Bai asked.
"That's right, and it's the same as before. One of them must be Lin Li," Feng Dong said as he shifted his gaze to Lin Long.
"That's not a problem," Lin Long answered directly.
Due to the Body Refining Technique, Lin Long didn't suffer any injuries from the backlash of the Five Elements Key.
Even if there was a Runic Array here, the offensive energy would at most be equivalent to that of the Five Elements Key. Lin Long naturally wasn't worried.
"Then let's draw stones again," Yang He said.
He was still traumatized by what happened just now, and he didn't want to experience it again. Hence, he naturally made such a suggestion.
"Then let's continue to draw stones," the others said one after another.
"It's alright, it definitely won't be like before," Feng Dong said with a wave of his hand.
However, Yang He and the others didn't believe him, and insisted on drawing stones. Helpless, Feng Dong could only take out the stones from before.
After the six of them drew stones for a while, they came up with the final result. One of the two people who didn't have to participate was Li Qianjing.
The other was Wan Bai.
Li Qianjing was really lucky! Yang He and the others couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
Since they were willing to bet, they had no choice but to stand at the five corners according to Feng Dong's instructions.
"Alright, I'll count to three, and all of you strike at the same time!" Feng Dong said immediately after they were in position.
Next, he started to count.
When he counted to three, Linlong and the other four struck out their palms in unison again at the spot Feng Dong had pointed out.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang …"
After the five palm strikes, runes suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake. The runes increased in number and became brighter.
Feng Dong stared at these runes.
After a while, these runes suddenly disappeared. Yang He and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they realized that there was no counterattack this time.
"How is it, Elder Feng Dong? Did you see anything?" Li Da quickly asked.
"I think I can roughly see something," Feng Dong said with a nod.
"Then can we go to the Five Elements Key now?" someone asked.
"Wait, let me think for a while more," Feng Dong said.
Immediately, he furrowed his brows and pondered. The others naturally didn't dare to disturb him. For a moment, the scene became quiet again, and only the splashing sound of the lake could be heard.
After a while, Feng Dong finally smiled and said, "I'm almost done. I should have a 90% chance of opening the Five Elements Key."
"That's good." Hearing his words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Then, should we go back now?" someone asked.
"Don't rush. Let's take a look at the other parts of the island and see if there are any other discoveries," Feng Dong said.
It wasn't easy for them to come to such a place. How could they leave without seeing everything?
The others also felt the same.
Immediately, the group left the lake and went to other places. However, after walking around, they didn't find anything else on the island.
In the end, they could only climb back to the passage along the rope.
After walking for a while, the group arrived in front of the Five Elements Key.
Once they arrived, Feng Dong immediately said, "Everyone, let's draw stones!"
"Sure!" The few fourth grade beasts immediately agreed.
"However, Little Brother Lin, you still can't miss out. After all, you're the only one with the Bloodline Sword," Feng Dong said.
"No problem," Lin Long said calmly.
Then, Feng Dongcai took out the stone again. After a round of drawing, another four people were chosen.
This time, Yang He and Li Da didn't need to participate.
"Follow what I said just now. Continue to stand in front of the Five Elements Key!" Feng Dong immediately said.
Lin Long and the other four stood in front of the Five Elements Key.
"Just like before, you guys will attack the position I said, but the order has changed. The three on the left will attack first, then the fourth, and the fifth, Lin Li, will be the last!" Feng Dong shouted.
Obviously, this was the conclusion he came to after observing the situation.
"When I count to three, the three on the left will strike immediately. The two behind will wait for a breath's time … Alright, let's begin!"
As he spoke, Feng Dong began to count.
When he counted to three, the three on the left immediately attacked the runes in front of them.
