Farmer Girl Reborn: I Play the Pig and Eat the Tiger in the World of Immortal Cultivation

The thick fog was like heavy cotton wool, wrapping everyone tightly, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

"This fog... is wrong." Nong Jin's voice was low, with a hint of vigilance.

He protected Yan Yue behind him and looked around vigilantly.

Yan Yue also noticed something strange. The fog not only blocked their vision, but also felt like an invisible pressure that oppressed their nerves and made them feel inexplicably irritated and uneasy.

She had been struggling in the world of immortal cultivation for many years in her previous life, and was very familiar with this strange atmosphere. This was clearly some kind of mind-influencing method!

"Everyone be careful, this fog will affect your mind!" Yan Yue warned, her voice trembling slightly, trying hard to look scared, like a frail woman.

Lan Xing's face turned pale. She clutched Hong Gang's arm tightly and said in a trembling voice, "I... I feel so uncomfortable..."

Although Hong Gang was strong, he also felt a palpitation. He comforted Lan Xing, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." However, there was a hint of subtle nervousness in his tone.

Elder Zhao's expression became even uglier. His lips trembled as he muttered to himself, "What...what's going on? Why is this ruin so dangerous..."

"Everyone follow me!" Nong Jin's voice was full of power, trying to dispel everyone's fear.

He released the pressure of the Immortal Emperor, trying to intimidate the strange fog, but the fog was not affected at all and remained as thick as before.

Everyone moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution.

Suddenly, there was a "click" sound, the ground began to shake, and countless hidden weapons suddenly shot out from the surrounding walls, with sharp sounds of breaking through the air, attacking everyone.

"Be careful!" Nong Jin shouted, waving the magic sword in his hand, knocking down the attacking hidden weapons one by one. Hong Gang also waved his giant axe in his hand, trying his best to resist.

The blue star released soft rays of light, dispelling the negative effects of the fog and keeping everyone awake.

However, there were too many hidden weapons to defend against. Hong Gang was unable to dodge and was scratched on the arm by a hidden weapon, and blood immediately gushed out.

"Hong Gang!" Lan Xing exclaimed and hurried forward to bandage his wound.

"I'm fine." Hong Gang said through gritted teeth, but his face was a little pale.

At this moment, the ground suddenly collapsed, and everyone was caught off guard and fell down.

As Yan Yue fell, memories of this relic from his previous life flashed through his mind.

She remembered that there were many mechanisms and traps in this relic, all controlled by certain specific rules.

"Left! There is a foothold on the left!" Yan Yue shouted, pointing to a protruding stone on the left wall.

Nong Jin reacted quickly, grabbed Yan Yue's hand, and brought her down to the rock. The others also found a place to stay, thus escaping the disaster.

"Miss Yan, it's all thanks to you!" Elder Zhao said with lingering fear, looking at Yan Yue with eyes full of admiration.

He had doubted Yan Yue's ability before, but now it seems that this seemingly weak woman has such keen observation and judgment.

Nong Jin also looked at Yan Yue, his eyes full of admiration and... a hint of barely perceptible inquiry.

"Everyone be careful, the mechanism and traps in this ruins seem to have been reactivated." Yan Yue said weakly, but sneered in his heart.

Everything has just begun.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the fog: "Haha, I didn't expect you to be able to walk here alive."

Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a figure slowly walking out of the fog. It was Gongsun Yu!

"Gongsun Yu! How dare you show up!" Nong Jin shouted angrily.

Gongsun Yu sneered, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Today is the day you die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of men in black suddenly emerged from the fog and surrounded everyone.

Yan Yue's heart sank suddenly...

Yan Yue's heart sank suddenly, but her face remained expressionless, still maintaining a weak and frightened look.

Gongsun Yu's appearance was completely within her expectations. It could even be said that this was exactly what she expected.

She observed her surroundings calmly, her mind racing as she recalled her knowledge of the ruins from her past life.

"Everyone, don't panic!" Yan Yue shouted, feigning composure. His voice trembled slightly, yet strangely, it carried a reassuring power. "Although the traps in this ruin have been reactivated, they still follow certain patterns. As long as we are careful, we can find a way out!"

"Pattern? What pattern?" Elder Zhao asked anxiously. He was already frightened by the continuous dangers.

Yan Yue took a deep breath and pointed to an almost imperceptible scratch on the wall. "Look, these scratches are actually the signs of traps. Every three scratches form a group, pointing in different directions, representing different dangers. As long as we avoid these directions, we can pass safely."

Everyone looked in the direction Yan Yue pointed and indeed found those tiny scratches.

Before, they were distracted by the fog and hidden weapons and did not notice these details at all.

"Ms. Yan, you are so amazing!" Lan Xing praised sincerely, looking at Yan Yue with eyes full of admiration.

Hong Gang also looked at Yan Yue with admiration. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman actually had such keen observation and a calm mind.

Under Yan Yue's guidance, everyone carefully avoided one trap after another and successfully passed through several mechanisms.

Elder Zhao originally had some doubts about Yan Yue's judgment, but after witnessing her accurate predictions time and time again, his doubts were completely dispelled.

However, a sense of unease and greed grew deep in his heart.

He felt that Yan Yue knew too much, and the treasures in the ruins should perhaps be his exclusive possession!

"Miss Yan, I think we should split up," Elder Zhao suddenly said. "This road is too dangerous. If we go together, we'll be too conspicuous and easily trigger the traps. It would be more efficient if we explore separately."

Yan Yue sneered inwardly. She had long seen through Elder Zhao's intentions. Splitting into two groups clearly meant they wanted to break away from the others and search for the treasure on their own.

"Elder Zhao, I think it's safer if we all act together," Yan Yue said with feigned concern. "These ruins are full of dangers. If we separate, what if we run into danger?"

"Miss Yan, you're too cautious," Elder Zhao said impatiently. "I'm a dignified elder of a sect. Can't I handle this little danger? If you follow me, you'll only be a burden to me!"

"Elder Zhao, you..." Yan Yue wanted to persuade him again, but was rudely interrupted by Elder Zhao.

"No need to say more! I have made up my mind!" After saying this, Elder Zhao walked towards another passage without looking back.

"Elder Zhao! Come back!" Nong Jin shouted angrily, but he didn't chase after him. He knew that Elder Zhao was obsessed with money and greed and would not listen to anything he said.

Yan Yue looked at Elder Zhao's departing back, a cold glint in her eyes. She was not worried about Elder Zhao, as she knew that greed would eventually harm him.

"Let's keep going." Yan Yue said to everyone, his tone so calm that it was a little scary.

Everyone nodded, followed Yan Yue closely, and continued walking towards the depths of the ruins.

Their trust and dependence on Yan Yue has reached an unprecedented level.

At this moment, Gongsun Yu's voice sounded again, with a hint of joking: "Haha, it seems that there are also disagreements among you. This is exactly the result I want!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of men in black emerged from all directions, surrounding the group. Nong Jin's eyes flashed, and the immortal sword in his hand shone brightly...

The light of Nong Jin's immortal sword suddenly increased, like a blazing white rainbow, instantly splitting the night and forcing the approaching man in black to retreat several steps.

He was agile and moved among the enemies like a dragon. Wherever the sword flashed, the men in black fell to the ground.

Lan Xing formed seals with her hands and muttered something. Light blue light flowed out from her fingertips, forming a protective barrier that enveloped everyone and resisted the hidden weapons shot by the man in black and the erosion of negative energy.

Hong Gang held a huge axe in his hand, with great force and power. Every time he chopped it down, it had the power to split mountains and crack rocks, and it knocked the approaching man in black away.

Gongsun Yu stood on a tall ancient tree, watching the fierce battle coldly, with a sinister smile on his lips.

"You don't know your own limitations!" He spit out a few words with contempt, and suddenly a long black whip appeared in his hand. The whip was wrapped with wisps of black air, emitting a heart-pounding breath.

The long whip suddenly shot out like a poisonous snake, heading straight for Yan Yue!

Seeing this, Nong Jin's heart tightened and he immediately swung his sword to block.

With a loud "clang", the long whip collided with the magic sword, bursting out dazzling sparks.

Nong Jin only felt a powerful force coming, and his palm felt a dull pain.

"Yuer, be careful!" Nong Jin shouted with concern, his eyes fixed on Gongsun Yu.

Yan Yue smiled slightly and gave him a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." She looked weak, but in fact she was secretly mobilizing the combat experience and skills from her previous life, and dodged the attacks of the man in black with a nimble body.

She knew that she could not reveal her true strength and had to continue to disguise herself and wait for the best opportunity.

The battle became more and more intense. The surrounding trees were shaken to pieces by the spiritual power, and leaves fell everywhere.

Nong Jin was always concerned about Yan Yue's safety. Every time she escaped danger, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Yan Yue felt his concerned gaze, and a warm feeling surged in her heart, which made her fight more bravely, as if she had infinite power.

This feeling of being protected made her feel extremely at ease, and also made her more determined to fight side by side with Nong Jin to fight the enemy together.

Her eyes met with Nong Jin's in the air, conveying determination and trust to each other.

At this moment, they seemed to no longer be fighting alone, but had each other's support and reliance.

At this moment, Yan Yue caught a glimpse of Elder Zhao sneaking towards the depths of the ruins from the corner of his eye, and he immediately understood.

It seems that he wanted to take advantage of the fierce battle to secretly look for treasures.

After a fierce fight, the men in black gradually lost and began to collapse.

Seeing this, Gongsun Yu's face darkened. He glared at Yan Yue and Nong Jin fiercely, then swung his whip violently, rolled up the men in black around him, and quickly retreated.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Nong Jin shouted angrily and was about to chase after him, but Yan Yue grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't chase a desperate enemy," Yan Yue whispered, "I feel something is wrong."

Nong Jin looked at Gongsun Yu's strange smile as he retreated, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

He stopped and looked deeply in the direction where Gongsun Yu disappeared.

"He... seems to have other intentions." Yan Yue looked at the direction where Gongsun Yu disappeared, his eyes cold, "Let's go see Elder Zhao first..." "Where is Elder Zhao?" Nong Jin looked around, but did not see Elder Zhao, and his thick brows were furrowed.

Yan Yue's eyes darkened as he pointed to a hidden path deep within the ruins: "We should take this path. He must have become greedy and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal the treasure."

"Hmph, this old guy!" Hong Gang said in a muffled voice, picking up the giant axe and ready to chase after him.

"Wait," Lan Xing stopped him, her brows furrowed slightly. "We shouldn't disperse here. Gongsun Yu is cunning and cunning, and I'm afraid he has more tricks up his sleeve." She tapped her fingertips between her eyebrows, sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy around her. "It seems there are other dangers lurking in these ruins. We must be cautious."

Nong Jin nodded in agreement and said to Yan Yue, "Yuer, you're right. Let's follow them and see for ourselves. Stay alert."

The four of them walked along the path deeper into the ruins. The air around them became increasingly cold and damp, and was filled with a strange aura.

The ancient stone walls are engraved with strange runes, emitting a faint light that makes people feel uneasy.

"These runes..." Yan Yue observed them carefully, feeling vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

In her previous life, she had read a lot of books and had some understanding of various ancient texts and symbols, but she had never seen these runes before. They seemed to come from another world.

The deeper you go, the weirder the surrounding scenery becomes.

Unknown vines were entwined around the tall stone pillars, wriggling like giant pythons and making creepy rustling sounds.

The air was filled with a strange fragrance, sweet and drowsy.

Lan Xing's expression changed slightly, and he whispered, "This fragrance is strange, it seems to affect the mind. Everyone hold your breath and use your spiritual energy to protect your body."

Everyone did as they were told and watched everything around them vigilantly.

Suddenly, an open valley appeared in front of us. The valley was covered with green grass and blooming flowers, as beautiful as a paradise.

"What a beautiful place..." Hong Gang couldn't help but admire, with a fascinated look in his eyes.

"Be careful!" Yan Yue shouted, grabbing Hong Gang and saying, "Something's wrong here!"

Almost at the same time, a powerful mental wave swept over and poured into their minds like a tide.

The surrounding scenery began to distort and deform, the flowers turned into hideous monsters, the green grass turned into sharp blades, and the originally beautiful valley instantly turned into a horrific purgatory.

Lan Xing groaned, his face pale and beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

She suppressed the discomfort, quickly formed seals with her hands, and muttered something, trying to dispel this strange power.

Nong Jin also felt dizzy, but he forced himself to stay awake, protecting Yan Yue behind him, and watching the changes around him vigilantly.

Yan Yue only felt that his consciousness began to blur, and everything in front of him became illusory.

She seemed to be trapped in endless darkness, with countless whispers ringing in her ears. Those voices echoed in her mind, haunting her like a nightmare.

"Yuer!" Nong Jin's voice rang out in the darkness, like a ray of dawn, pulling her back from the abyss.

Yan Yue suddenly opened his eyes, only to find himself standing at the edge of the valley. Nong Jin, Lan Xing and Hong Gang were all lying on the ground, pale and unconscious.

She was shocked and hurried forward to check on them, but found that their breathing was stable and they were just unconscious.

"What's going on?" Yan Yue muttered to himself, and looked around. He found that everything in the valley had returned to normal, as if the horrific scene just now was just an illusion.

However, she had a strong sense of unease in her heart, as if something was secretly watching them.

She slowly stood up, gripped the dagger in her hand, and looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, she heard a slight sound of footsteps behind her...
