Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

A turning point in desperate situation

"Yaoyao..." Hao Yang held my hand tightly, his eyes filled with worry and determination, "You take Grandpa and leave quickly, I'll hold it back!"

“No!” I refused without thinking, “Let’s go together!”

Hao Yang wanted to say something, but I interrupted him, "Now is not the time to argue about this. We must unite to overcome this difficulty!"

He looked at me with complicated eyes, and finally nodded.

"Roar--" The roar of the giant beast came again, shaking the earth and mountains. Its huge body approached us, and every step seemed to step on my heart.

At this critical moment, Hao Yang suddenly seemed to discover something. His eyes lit up and he shouted, "Yaoyao, the joint of its left hind leg, that's its weak point!"

Before I could react, I saw Hao Yang, regardless of the pain in his body, push me away, then endure the severe pain and rush towards the beast with all his strength.

"Hao Yang!" I exclaimed and wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Hao Yang's figure looked extremely small against the huge body of the beast. I could even feel the difficulty of every step he took.

"Roar--" The giant beast was enraged by Hao Yang. It let out a deafening roar, turned around suddenly, and its huge tail was like a steel whip, sweeping towards Hao Yang with the power to destroy the world!

"Hao Yang, be careful!" My heart was in my throat as I watched the huge tail about to hit Hao Yang.

At the critical moment, Hao Yang rolled sideways flexibly and barely avoided the attack of the giant beast. Then he suddenly jumped up, and the dagger in his hand flashed with cold light, and stabbed it fiercely into the joint of the giant beast's left hind leg.

"Roar--" The giant beast let out a painful howl, and its huge body staggered, and its movements became noticeably slower.

"Now is the time!" Elder Wei, who had been waiting for an opportunity, seized the chance, quickly formed seals with his hands, and muttered something. A golden magic circle instantly appeared at the feet of the giant beast.

"Seal!" With Elder Wei's loud shout, golden light shone brightly in the magic circle, and countless golden chains flew out from the magic circle, binding the giant beast tightly. No matter how it struggled, it could not break free.

"Success!" I was delighted, but before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I felt a fierce murderous aura coming towards me.

"Wei Yao, go to hell!" Wei Qing's ferocious voice sounded in my ears. I turned around and saw her holding a sharp blade and rushing towards me with a crazy light in her eyes.

The guardian beast has been sealed, and she has completely lost her mind!

I was startled and wanted to dodge, but my body became sluggish from the previous battle and I had no time to react.

Seeing Wei Qing’s sharp blade about to pierce my chest, I closed my eyes in despair.

"Yaoyao!" Hao Yang exclaimed and rushed over without thinking, trying to block the attack for me.

At the critical moment, I felt a powerful force suddenly burst out from my body, forming an invisible energy wave that knocked Wei Qing away!

"Ah!" Wei Qing let out a scream, fell heavily to the ground, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

I opened my eyes in surprise, only to see a faint light flash across my chest and then disappear.

Is that... a system?

"Warning! The host has been detected to be in danger. The system has automatically restored some functions." A cold mechanical voice sounded in my mind, "The defense system is being activated... The defense system has been successfully activated!"

I was ecstatic that the system had recovered at this time!

"Yaoyao, are you okay?" Hao Yang ran to me anxiously and checked my injuries.

"I'm fine." I shook my head, looking at Wei Qing lying on the ground groaning in pain, my heart filled with gratitude, "Thanks to the system, it saved me."

Wei Qing struggled to get up, but the energy waves released by the system obviously caused her considerable damage. She could only watch us with eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.

"Wei Yao, do you think this can stop me? I won't give up! I must get this spiritual herb!" Wei Qing roared, her voice full of madness.

I looked at her coldly without saying anything.

Now that the system has partially restored its functions, I won't give her any more chances!

I took a deep breath, focused my attention, and tried to communicate with the system: "System, is there any way to stop her?"

"Host needs detected, searching for solutions..." The system's mechanical voice sounded again, "The solution has been found, please follow the prompts."

A stream of information flooded into my mind, and I immediately understood the system's intention.

I turned my head and looked at the spiritual herb emitting a bright green light not far away, my eyes determined.

I'm going to take this opportunity...

I took a deep breath and followed the system's instructions to begin sealing the spiritual herb. I formed seals with my hands and chanted something, and a strange energy surged from my body, enveloping the spiritual herb.

"What is she doing?" Seeing this, Wei Qing struggled to rush over, but was stopped by Hao Yang.

"Your opponent is me." Hao Yang's eyes were fierce, and a dagger appeared in his hand, flashing with cold light.

Elder Wei also stood in front of Wei Qing and said in a deep voice, "Wei Qing, you have gone astray! Stop it now!"

"Get out of here!" Wei Qing roared, and attacked Hao Yang and Elder Wei desperately, with every move being ruthless and completely disregarding their past friendship.

I focused, ignoring their fight, and concentrated on completing the seal. As if sensing something, the spiritual herb shook violently, its shimmering green light flickering.

"Hurry! She is going to seal the spiritual herb! Stop her!" Seeing this scene, Wei Qing attacked even more frantically, trying to break through the obstruction of Hao Yang and Elder Wei.

Hao Yang and Elder Wei joined forces to fight against Wei Qing. Although Wei Qing was very strong, the two of them were no pushovers either, and for a while they fought on equal terms.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from my forehead. Sealing the spiritual herb was much more difficult than I had imagined. The energy fluctuations of the spiritual herb became more and more intense, and my body began to feel the strain.

"Hold on, Yaoyao!" Hao Yang took the time to encourage me while resisting Wei Qing's attack.

I gritted my teeth, mobilized all the remaining spiritual energy in my body, and injected it into the seal. Finally, the green light of the spiritual grass gradually dimmed and finally disappeared.

At the same time, I felt a powerful force rebounding back. I groaned and took a few steps back. Hao Yang quickly supported me.

"Success!" I looked at the spiritual herb that was successfully sealed, and my heart was filled with joy.

"It's not over yet..." Wei Qing suddenly said coldly, with a strange smile on her lips, "The fun has just begun..."

I leaned against Hao Yang's chest, gasping for breath, my spiritual energy nearly drained out, my whole body aching and weak. Hao Yang supported me, asking with concern, "Yaoyao, are you okay?" I shook my head, my gaze fixed on the spiritual herb he held securely behind him. It lay there quietly, emitting a gentle glow, no longer as restless as before.

"Success..." I murmured, and a huge stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

"Hmph, so what if you sealed it? This is just the beginning!" Wei Qing stood up in a mess with her hair disheveled, but a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Wei Yao, do you think you have won? Let me tell you, the real show has just begun!"

Her tone was cold, and her eyes were filled with madness, which made people shudder. My heart was alarmed, but before I had time to think about it, I saw Wei Qing suddenly pull out a black ball from her arms and hold it high.

"No! Stop her quickly!" Elder Wei's face changed drastically. He exclaimed and was about to rush forward.

But it was too late. Wei Qing laughed wildly and slammed the black ball to the ground.

"boom--"

There was a loud noise and the ground shook.

The black sphere exploded, and a black mist instantly filled the air, enveloping us all. My vision went dark, and I couldn't see anything clearly. All I could hear was Hao Yang's anxious cry, "Yaoyao!"

I tried to respond, but no sound came out. I felt like I was being sucked into a giant vortex, the world spinning around, and I couldn't breathe...

I don't know how long it was before I felt someone gently patting my cheek, and a familiar warm breath lingered at the tip of my nose. I struggled to open my eyes and saw Hao Yang's anxious face.

"Yaoyao, you finally woke up!"

I supported myself on the ground and tried to sit up, but found myself in a completely unfamiliar place. It was gloomy and terrifying, with a nauseating stench in the air and the sound of ghosts howling in the distance.

"Where is this?" I grabbed Hao Yang's arm and asked in horror.

"I... I don't know either..." Hao Yang's face was also very ugly. He looked around and said in a low voice, "Be careful, something is wrong here..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound suddenly came from not far away, and then a dark figure slowly walked out of the darkness...
