Entertainment Secrets: Playing the role of Qilin, Mimi loves it so much

At the bottom of a giant stone tablet, there were densely packed ancient symbols engraved. Those symbols were not Chinese characters, but more like groups of patterns or strings of runes.

"I recognize this..." Yang Mi murmured, a thoughtful look in her eyes: "These are the talismans of the 'Five Elements Formation' described in 'The Young Men of Wuling', right?"

"The Five Elements Formation? What is that?" Meng Ziyi asked.

"That's a kind of ancient Qimen Dunjia."

Yang Mi said: "The Five Elements Formation is a formation based on the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, using the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements to form a complex formation."

"It can both confuse the enemy and transform the objects within the formation into spirits of the five elements, providing a constant supply of elemental power to maintain the operation of the formation. When the formation runs extremely slowly, a dense miasma will form within the formation."

"This miasma is extremely corrosive and can cause hallucinations. It's said that even today's experts and professors are baffled by its origins..."

"Then how do you know?" Ye Bai asked curiously.

"I've read an ancient book about this formation called the 'Five Elements Returning to Origin Formation'. I translated a portion of it once, so I remember it clearly."

"So, if this is the Five Elements Returning to Origin Formation, then we're saved." Meng Ziyi was ecstatic. "Is this formation used to protect that box? Once we get that thing, this formation will lose its effectiveness."

Yang Mi frowned and said, "But I see there are a lot of corpses in that formation... If we rush in rashly, wouldn't we be like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?"

Ye Bai's eyes flashed, and he said, "We can go in from the outside!"

Yang Mi was startled and said, "Brother Ye, you're not going to ask Xiao Hei to dig the soil, are you?"

"Uh - I don't understand these..." Ye Bai smiled awkwardly.

"Brother Ye! You bastard, didn't you just say that you can break the Five Elements Return to Origin Formation?" Meng Ziyi said with his big round eyes.

"I can indeed crack it, and I can do it." Ye Bai said, patting his chest.

Meng Ziyi hurriedly pulled Yang Mi's sleeve and said, "Sister Yang Mi, let's run. Look at him, he's just bragging. I don't think he's reliable at all."

"Hey hey... I'm telling the truth!" Ye Bai hurriedly defended himself.

"Shut up!" Meng Ziyi cursed angrily.

Yang Mi stared at the stone tablet and studied it carefully. She seemed to have discovered something.

"Brother Ye, please help me move this stone." Yang Mi said.

"Oh? Okay." Ye Bai responded, reaching out to grab the giant rock. He exerted force with both arms, lifting the entire stone slab.

Meng Ziyi was stunned.

Ye Bai easily lifted the rock and took a few steps forward. Yang Mi also hurried over.

She looked at the twisted textures beneath her feet. She squatted down, placed her hands on the stone slab, and closed her eyes. After a moment, she suddenly stood up and shouted, "Brother Ye, throw the stone slab away!"

"Huh? What's the matter?" Ye Bai was stunned.

"Throw it away quickly!" Yang Mi urged anxiously.

Ye Bai didn't dare to delay and slammed the stone slab into the ground. Instantly, the scattered rubble buried the two men. At the same time, a blinding blue light erupted from the center of the stone slab. The light spread rapidly, turning everything it touched into a pool of pus and blood.

By the time the light faded, the large stone slab had been completely shattered.

Ye Bai crawled out of the mud, wiped the dirt off his face, and asked, "What happened? Why did the stone slab become like this?"

Yang Mi panted for a while before saying, "Brother Ye... I just... seemed to sense something... This formation needs my blood to activate..."

Meng Ziyi asked in horror: "Your blood?"

"Yes..." Yang Mi nodded. "My blood contains a trace of soul power. Although it's only a very weak strand... Perhaps it's this soul power that allows me to gain sensory abilities that surpass those of ordinary people by a hundred or even a thousand times in a short period of time, allowing me to sense abnormalities in the surrounding environment through various means. I suspect that my blood should be able to break the formation..."

Yang Mi's tone sounded particularly weak and tired, as if she had just expended too much energy and effort, causing her body to be unable to bear it.

"I see! No wonder!" Meng Ziyi suddenly realized: "I was wondering, how could such a difficult task be completed so easily?"

"Let's leave here quickly to avoid any further trouble." Yang Mi said.

"Well, yes, yes!"

The three of them hurriedly retreated outside, encountering a narrow passage covered in vines that twisted and tangled like a python. Ye Bai chose to jump into the depths of the cave without hesitation.

"Ah!" Meng Ziyi suddenly screamed after stumbling all the way.

"What's wrong?" Ye Bai hurriedly supported Meng Ziyi and looked in the direction Meng Ziyi was looking. He saw a bloody mouth on their right side, swallowing them.

"What the hell!" Meng Ziyi was frightened and ran away with his head in his hands.

Yang Mi was also frightened, and she instinctively wanted to escape to the left. Ye Bai was quick to act, grabbing Yang Mi's slender waist. As they swayed, they narrowly avoided the ferocious beast head.

In a panic, Meng Ziyi missed a step and fell to the ground.

"Why are you so stupid!" Ye Bai roared, rushed over, grabbed Meng Ziyi, and jumped into the narrow corridor.

The corridor was dark, damp, cold, and filled with a foul stench.

Ye Bai and Yang Mi pressed their backs together. Ye Bai put his arm around Yang Mi's shoulders to minimize friction. Yang Mi was frozen, not daring to move.

Meng Ziyi huddled behind the two of them, trembling.

"Hey! Don't be afraid!" Ye Bai comforted.

"Yeah." Yang Mi nodded.

This was her first kiss. Ye Bai's palms pressed against her soft waist, and the scorching heat passed through her clothes, making her feel shy and sweet.

She lowered her eyes slightly and stole a glance at Ye Bai, only to see that Ye Bai was squinting his eyes, taking in the surroundings.

The corridor was pitch black, lit only by a few fiery red jewels on the ceiling above. The flickering and interweaving of light created an eerie and unpredictable illusion.

Meng Ziyi couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He stretched out a trembling index finger and poked the jewels.

……

"Ah!" Meng Ziyi screamed sharply. The red jewels suddenly fell and hit Meng Ziyi's head hard.

"Ah..." Meng Ziyi covered his head in pain.

"Don't touch it!" Yang Mi quickly stopped Meng Ziyi.

"It doesn't matter, she won't die." Ye Bai said calmly.

Sure enough, Meng Ziyi touched his head and found that there was no bleeding on his forehead. He opened his eyes in confusion.

"Huh? What's going on?"

On the ceiling above, several red jewels were suspended in mid-air, emitting a faint green light. When this faint green light shone on the corridor, it immediately evaporated the corrosive juice on the ground.
