The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

On the stone gate, the patterns of gold, wood, water, fire and earth shone brightly, each emitting a unique color. However, the gold pattern was dim, as if waiting for some kind of power to awaken. Everyone's eyes were focused on Song Hanyi, the only one with gold attributes. Lu Qingxi thought to himself that as expected, at the critical moment, Song Hanyi, as the male protagonist, could always exert decisive power.

As the originally dim golden pattern gradually emitted a golden glow, the scene in front of the stone gate gradually became clearer. Everyone followed closely and walked out of the dreamlike illusion with Song Hanyi. However, just as they walked out of the illusion and moved forward about ten steps, a murderous aura suddenly hit them, making them shudder.

In front of him, five huge icicles stood tall, as if guarding this mysterious place. The top of each icicle was wrapped with a heavy iron chain, and the end of the chain was deeply pierced into a group of blurry figures. Those figures were the phantoms of the ancient monsters. Although they were only projections of physical monsters, they exuded a frightening aura.

These phantoms have various shapes, some are like giant lions, roaring with thunder and shaking the whole space; some are like tigers, every roar is accompanied by violent storms, which is frightening; and some are like evil dragons, just waving their phantom claws can make the air tremble, as if they can tear everything into pieces at any time.

At the beginning of the battle, everyone was still unfamiliar with the phantom and was in a panic to deal with the phantom's attack. They tried to resist with sharp swordsmanship and powerful magic, but the phantom seemed to have some magical ability to absorb and transform these magic powers, making the attack more fierce, like a backlash of a sharp blade.

However, they were not without countermeasures. After a brief confrontation, Lu Qingxi keenly noticed the pattern, and she quickly reminded Xuan Yi and others to pay attention to the attack pattern of the phantom. So, she and Mu Jingxuan began to observe carefully, trying to find the flaws of the phantom.

After several rounds of probing and dodging, everyone finally discovered the weakness of the phantoms. Although these phantoms are extremely powerful, they are not invulnerable. The giant lion will have a short time to charge before launching a thunder attack. Although the wind blade of the tiger has a strong cutting force, it is not the fastest. Although the claws of the dragon are strong, they are not flexible enough when moving.

After mastering these weaknesses, Xuan Yi, Song Hanyi and Gu Yuan began to adopt targeted attack strategies. They cleverly used their cultivation powers and cooperated well with each other to successfully avoid the fatal attacks of the phantoms and look for opportunities to launch counterattacks. After a fierce battle, everyone finally succeeded in defeating these phantoms, and the air was filled with the joy of victory.

However, the joy of victory did not last long. After defeating the phantom, everyone felt that their mana was greatly depleted and their bodies were exhausted. They continued to move forward, but discovered a surprising fact - they had clearly walked with their backs to Bai Ze, but now they were still in front of Bai Ze!

A vast area shrouded in icy air appeared before my eyes, as if I was in a world of ice and snow. In the center of this area, five huge ice pillars pierced the sky, like giants guarding this world of ice and snow. The top of each ice pillar was wrapped with a heavy iron chain, and the other end of the iron chain tightly bound a huge ancient monster.

This monster was huge, with its eyes closed, as if it was in a deep sleep. However, everyone could clearly feel the powerful aura emanating from it, which made people shudder. They knew that this ancient monster was no ordinary creature and must be the guardian of this ice and snow world.

After realizing that they couldn't get away from the formation, they could only bite the bullet and continue to move forward. However, when they tried to get closer to the icicles, they suddenly felt a strong resistance. It turned out that these icicles were not ordinary things, but were formed by a powerful formation set up by a powerful person. Once someone got close to the icicles, the formation would trigger an attack, preventing them from getting close.

Xuan Yi, Song Hanyi and Gu Yuan worked together to use their magic power to break the formation, but each attempt was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response, but instead triggered a more violent attack. For a moment, the icicle was surrounded by freezing cold, wind and snow, as if they were in an ice cellar, making it difficult for the three to approach.

Faced with this dilemma, Lu Qingxi knew that breaking the formation was the key. She began to observe these icicles carefully, trying to find a way to break them. She noticed that there were complex runes engraved on the top of each icicle. These runes flickered faintly in the cold air, as if they contained some mysterious power. At the same time, the chains between the icicles were not ordinary things. They were made of a special material that seemed to be able to conduct some mysterious power.

After a long period of observation and thinking, Lu Qingxi and Xuan Yi continued to communicate and discuss, and finally discovered the connection and pattern between these ice pillars. They found that the runes on each ice pillar corresponded to a node in the formation, and the chain connected these nodes together to form a complete formation structure. This discovery made everyone excited, as if they saw the hope of cracking the formation.

More importantly, Lu Qingxi and Xuan Yi discovered that when the chains between these ice pillars vibrate, they will produce a special kind of fluctuation. This fluctuation is closely related to the attack rhythm of the formation, as if it is the pulse of the formation, beating the vitality of the formation. If you can master this fluctuation, you can find the key to cracking the formation.

So, Lu Qingxi and Xuan Yi began to guide Song Hanyi and Gu Yuan to carefully observe the vibration pattern of the chain and try to resonate with it. After many attempts and adjustments, they finally found the correct rhythm and frequency.

It seems that we have to find a way to destroy these nodes first, so as to cut off the connection between the icicles. "Lu Qingxi said decisively after thinking for a moment. Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and their eyes revealed firmness and determination.

So, they began to concentrate their firepower and attack these nodes with all their strength. The roar of cultivation magic power and magic weapons echoed between the ice pillars, as if to shatter this world of ice and snow. With the efforts of everyone, the nodes began to collapse one by one, and the connection between the ice pillars was gradually weakened.

As the connection between the ice pillars was broken, the power of the formation was significantly weakened. The ancient monster that was originally roaring became powerless at this moment. Its eyes revealed a complex emotion, as if it was struggling between anger, unwillingness and helplessness.

Taking this opportunity, everyone began to look for the core of the formation - the center of the formation. After searching for a while, they finally found a circular stone platform covered with heavy ice in the center of the ice column formation. This stone platform emitted strong energy fluctuations, which was obviously the center of the formation.

However, it is not easy to destroy the center of the formation. The stone platform is covered with complex runes and restrictions. Once touched, it will trigger a strong counterattack. Everyone must carefully break these restrictions before they can approach and destroy the center of the formation.
