Farmer Girl Reborn: I Play the Pig and Eat the Tiger in the World of Immortal Cultivation
Chapter 23: Initial exploration of the ruins, 4 crises
The ancient stone door slowly opened with a dull roar, and a cold, damp air filled the air, like a whisper from ancient times. Yan Yue took a deep breath and stepped into the ruins. The fog was thick, pitch black, and the only sound in his ears was the echo of falling water. The entire ruins were filled with a heart-wrenching silence.
"It seems this ruins isn't a good place," Yan Yue thought to herself. In her previous life, she had never entered this ruins, but she had heard many rumors about it. It was said to be full of dangers, treasures and dangers coexisting.
Drawing on her past life's experience, Yan Yue traced the lines on the wall and discerned the subtle movements of the air. She knew that in such an environment, remaining calm and cautious was crucial. In the thick fog, it was easy to lose one's sense of direction; a single mistake could lead to getting lost, or even encountering an accident. She moved slowly, taking each step carefully, trying not to make any noise.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Yan Yue felt the fog around her seemed to have thinned a little, and she could vaguely see a faint light ahead. Delighted, she quickened her pace and headed towards the light.
Emerging from the dense fog, the view suddenly opened up. It was a spacious stone chamber, its walls carved with ancient runes, emitting a faint fluorescent glow that illuminated the entire chamber. In the center of the chamber, a raised platform rested on top of it an ancient treasure chest.
A treasure chest! Yan Yue's mind raced, thinking this might be one of the treasures in the ruins. However, she didn't rush forward, but instead carefully observed her surroundings.
"It seems someone got here before me." Yan Yue's eyes fell on a pile of rubble in the corner of the stone chamber. It was obvious that someone had destroyed the mechanism before entering here.
Almost at the same time, several figures emerged from the thick fog.
"It's Yan Yue!" Gongsun Yu snorted coldly, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
Nangong Xue looked at Yan Yue with a complicated expression, with both vigilance and curiosity in her eyes.
Tieshan's rough voice sounded: "Little girl, I didn't expect you to be ahead of us. You are lucky!" There was a greedy light in his eyes, and he was obviously very interested in the treasures in the treasure chest.
Yan Yue looked around calmly. Besides these few people, she sensed that there seemed to be others hiding in the shadows. It seemed that the treasures in these ruins were destined to spark a fight.
Elder Feng stumbled out of the thick fog, clutching his injured arm. He stared at Yan Yue with a sinister look, secretly resentful. He had originally thought he would be the first to find the treasure, but he hadn't expected this little girl to beat him to the punch.
Yan Yue ignored them and focused her attention on the central platform. The treasure chest was within reach, but she sensed an inexplicable sense of danger.
"There seems to be a restriction around this treasure chest." Nangong Xue said with a hint of solemnity in her tone.
Yan Yue nodded slightly; she had also noticed this. The air around the treasure chest seemed to be distorted, emitting a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy.
At this moment, Tieshan suddenly shouted and rushed towards Yan Yue. "Little girl, hand over the treasure!"
"Nong Jin, I hope you can find me soon..." Yan Yue murmured in a low voice, with a cold light in his eyes.
Tieshan's massive body rushed towards Yan Yue like a small mountain, carrying a whistling sound and a fierce momentum. He thought to himself that if he could knock this little girl away, he would be the first to grab the treasure in the treasure chest.
Yan Yue was prepared. The moment Tieshan charged, she dodged, deftly sidestepping the brutal blow. Tieshan's attack missed, and his anger intensified. He backhanded a punch towards Yan Yue's face. The punch was incredibly powerful; if it had been hit, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Yan Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and spiritual energy surged beneath her feet, instantly forming a transparent cushion of air beneath her feet. Using this power, she leaped high, deftly flipping in mid-air to avoid Tieshan's powerful punch. At the same time, her slender legs, swirling with a sharp gust of wind, fiercely kicked Tieshan in the back.
"Bang!" With a dull thud, Tieshan's massive body staggered a few steps after being kicked by Yan Yue, nearly falling to the ground. He roared angrily, turned around, and attacked Yan Yue again.
After landing, Yan Yue did not choose to confront Tieshan head-on, but used her agile body to dodge Tieshan's attacks. Her body was erratic, like a ghost, leaving Tieshan with no place to use his strength.
Inside the stone chamber, the sounds of fists and feet clashing resounded continuously, mingled with Tieshan's furious roars and the soft thud of Yan Yue landing. Gongsun Yu, Nangong Xue, and the others stood aside, watching the fight with no intention of intervening. They were all secretly observing Yan Yue's strength, their own calculations in mind.
Elder Feng clutched his injured arm, his eyes gleaming with greed. Although injured, he still closely watched the fight between Yan Yue and Tie Shan, hoping to find an opportunity to seize the treasure in the treasure chest.
While dodging Tieshan's attacks, Yan Yue was also secretly observing the situation in the stone chamber. She noticed that Gongsun Yu, Nangong Xue and others were watching closely, and she became even more vigilant.
"We must fight quickly and decisively!" Yan Yue thought to herself. She knew that if she delayed any further, the situation would only become increasingly unfavorable to her.
Thinking of this, Yan Yue's eyes flashed with determination. She stopped dodging and took the initiative to meet Tieshan's attack. When Tieshan swung his fist again, she flashed and appeared beside him, slapping him in the ribs.
This palm seemed gentle, but in fact it contained a powerful spiritual force. Tieshan felt a sharp pain in his ribs, and breathing became difficult. He looked at Yan Yue in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and fear.
"You...you actually..." Tieshan uttered a few words with difficulty, but could not say anything else.
Yan Yue ignored Tieshan's shock. She took advantage of the victory and attacked again.
"Nong Jin..." Yan Yue silently repeated this name in her heart during the battle. A wave of worry surged in her heart, making her more eager to end this battle as soon as possible and find Nong Jin's whereabouts.
At this moment, a noise suddenly came from the entrance of the stone chamber...
"Wait!" a voice came from the entrance.
Yan Yue's palms were fierce and deadly, and Tieshan was forced back under her swift attack, his massive body like a crumbling tower. He clutched his aching ribs, his eyes filled with horror. He could never have imagined that this seemingly fragile woman could possess such formidable strength. Every move Yan Yue made was filled with ferocity, as if she wanted to vent all her worries and anxieties. Nong Jin, where are you? Are you in danger too? This thought burned in her heart like a raging fire, making her even more eager to end this battle as soon as possible and find him.
"Bang!" Another muffled sound, and Tieshan fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. He struggled to get up, but felt powerless. He could only watch Yan Yue approach step by step.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly rang out: "Miss Yan, please show mercy!"
Nangong Xue appeared at the entrance of the stone chamber at some point, holding an exquisite mechanism box in her hand and a sly smile on her face. She pressed the button on the mechanism box, and a dazzling light instantly shot out from the box, illuminating the entire stone chamber.
Tieshan was attracted by the sudden light, his eyes turned dully to the mechanism box in Nangong Xue's hand, as if he was possessed. He forgot the pain in his body, forgot Yan Yue's existence, and only the mechanism box flashing with strange light was in his eyes.
"What kind of treasure is this?" Tieshan muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with greed. He stood up shakily and walked towards Nangong Xue, as if he was drawn to the light and couldn't extricate himself.
"Tieshan, are you crazy?" Nangong Xue shouted in panic, and at the same time took a few steps back, as if she was afraid that Tieshan would attack her.
Tieshan seemed not to have heard Nangong Xue's words, and continued to approach step by step, with his eyes only on the mechanism box emitting an alluring light.
Seeing this, Yan Yue frowned slightly. She felt something was amiss, but couldn't quite place it. She glanced at Tie Shan, who had fallen to the ground, and then at Nangong Xue, who was holding the mechanism box, her heart filled with confusion.
"Miss Nangong, what is this?" Yan Yue asked with a hint of vigilance in his tone.
Nangong Xue turned her head, smiled at Yan Yue, and said, "Miss Yan, this is a good thing, do you want it?"
Yan Yue did not answer, but just looked at Nangong Xue quietly, his eyes full of inquiry.
Nangong Xue didn't say anything more, just threw the box into the air. Tieshan's eyes followed the box, completely attracted by it. He pounced on the box, as if to take it for himself.
Yan Yue looked at Tieshan and Nangong Xue's actions, and her heart became more confused. She ignored them and turned to walk deeper into the stone chamber. She knew that now was not the time to waste time, she had to find Nong Jin as soon as possible.
Deep within the stone chamber, a dark passage appeared before Yan Yue. The walls on either side of the passage were engraved with ancient runes, exuding a mysterious aura. Yan Yue took a deep breath and stepped into the passage.
She didn't know what dangers were waiting for her ahead, nor what Gongsun Yu and Elder Feng were plotting. But she had only one belief in her heart, which was to find Nong Jin and leave this dangerous place with him.
Yan Yue walked slowly along the passage, her steps light and nimble, like a nimble cat. Suddenly, she stopped and stared ahead, a hint of vigilance flashing in her eyes.
At the end of the passage, a spacious stone chamber appeared. In the center of the stone chamber, a huge altar stood there, emitting a strange aura.
"Here..." Yan Yue muttered to himself, and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.
She was about to go forward to check, when suddenly, a blazing fire broke out on the surrounding walls...
