Shen Jingqi perked up his ears to listen carefully and said, "I don't know either, let's go a bit further and see." His heartbeat involuntarily accelerated, and cold sweat appeared on his palms.

They continued forward, the sound becoming clearer and clearer. Finally, they arrived at a spacious cave. The walls of the cave flickered with strange light, as if embedded with countless gems. In the center of the cave was a giant stone platform, and on the platform lay a box exuding a mysterious aura.

Lin Yue excitedly said, "Shen Jingqi, look, could that box be the key to unlocking the secrets of the Divine Artifact?" Her eyes sparkled with excitement, eager to rush over.

Shen Jingqi held her back and said, "Don't rush, this place is so peculiar, there might be danger. Let's observe first."

They cautiously approached the stone platform, testing the ground every step to ensure safety. When they reached the platform, they found that the box was inscribed with the same symbols as the Divine Artifact.

Shen Jingqi said, "It seems this box is indeed related to the Divine Artifact. Let's open it and see."

He reached out and lightly touched the box. Suddenly, the box emitted a strong light, and within the light appeared a phantom figure. The figure was that of an elderly man with white hair.

He looked at Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue and slowly said, "You have finally arrived. This Divine Artifact was left by me, it contains immense power, but only those with justice in their hearts can uncover its secrets. You must face numerous trials to gain this power."

Lin Yue exclaimed in surprise, "Trials? What kind of trials?"

The old man said, "The trials are ahead, you will encounter various dangers and challenges. Only by passing the trials can you unlock the secrets of the Divine Artifact and save this world." After speaking, the figure of the old man gradually disappeared.

Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue exchanged glances, filled with doubt and concern. Lin Yue said, "Jingqi, will these trials be very hard? Could we be in danger?"

Shen Jingqi took a deep breath and said, "No matter how difficult, we must try. To unlock the secrets of the Divine Artifact and escape the pursuit of the black-clad people, we have no other choice."

Just as they were preparing to leave the cave and continue forward, they suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps. Shen Jingqi's expression changed and said, "Not good, maybe the black-clad people are pursuing us."

Lin Yue said in panic, "Then what should we do?"

Shen Jingqi glanced around and found a narrow passage on one side of the cave. He said, "Let's go through here and hide for a while."

They quickly slipped into the passage, which was so narrow that only one person could pass through. They crouched and trudged forward with difficulty. Suddenly, a giant stone door appeared ahead, blocking their path.

Lin Yue said anxiously, "What do we do now? The stone door is blocking our way."

Shen Jingqi closely examined the stone door and found a symbol similar to that on the Divine Artifact. He said, "Maybe the Divine Artifact can open this stone door."

He took out the Divine Artifact and aimed it at the symbol on the stone door. Suddenly, the Divine Artifact emitted a ray of light, and the stone door slowly opened.

They breathed a sigh of relief and continued along the passage, finally arriving at an expansive space. Here lay a gigantic maze, its walls towering into the sky, impossible to see the end.

Lin Yue looked at the maze hopelessly and said, "The maze is so large, how can we find our way out? Moreover, those Totem People might catch up soon."

Shen Jingqi gazed at the maze, unsure himself. But he knew they couldn't just wait passively. He said, "Let's try and find some clues about the exit."

They began searching throughout the maze, marking their path at intervals to prevent getting lost. However, the maze's paths were intricate and complex, and after walking for a long time, they couldn't find an exit.

Just as they were feeling desperate, they suddenly heard a strange singing. The song was melodious and mystic, as if possessing a magic that irresistibly pulled them towards its source.

Following the direction of the song, they finally arrived at a room. In the room was a beautiful woman seated on a chair, softly humming the tune.

Lin Yue stepped forward and asked, "Hello, do you know how to get out of this maze?"

The woman raised her head, looked at them, smiled slightly, and said, "I can tell you how to get out of the maze, but you must agree to a condition."

Shen Jingqi asked, "What condition? As long as we can do it, we definitely agree."

The woman said, "Deep within this maze is an evil magician who has been wreaking havoc. You must help me defeat him, and I'll tell you the way out."

Lin Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "But we don't even know where the magician is, how can we defeat him?"

The woman said, "I will give you some clues, follow them and you'll find him. Besides, the Divine Artifact in your hands might also be of help."

Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue exchanged a look, nodded, and said, "Alright, we agree."

The woman provided them with some clues, and they left the room to continue searching for the magician's trail in the maze. Following the clues, they turned left and right in the maze, finally arriving at a sinister and terrifying place.

A pungent smell filled the air, and bizarre light flickered on the walls. In the center of the room was a huge black Magic Array, with a magician clad in black robes standing within it.

The magician waved his Magic Wand, and a black magical ray shot towards them.

Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue quickly dodged, the magical ray hitting the wall behind them, leaving a huge crater.

They engaged in a fierce battle with the magician. The magician's magic was incredibly strong, and they gradually struggled to hold their ground. Just when they were feeling hopeless, the Divine Artifact suddenly emitted a strong light, enveloping them within.

They felt a powerful energy surge into their bodies, filled with infinite power. Seizing this opportunity, they launched a counterattack against the magician.

In the heated battle, they finally defeated the magician. The magician fell to the ground and vanished into a cloud of black smoke.

They breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, the beautiful woman appeared before them. She said, "You have done well; now I can tell you how to get out of the maze."

The woman told them the way out of the maze, and following her instructions, they finally emerged from the maze. However, as soon as they exited, they saw the Totem People standing a short distance away, waiting for them.
