I have a space to Taoyuan in the end times

Breaking the deadlock in the formation

The white light dissipated, and Cen Ran found himself in an unfamiliar space.

The surroundings were in chaos, as if one was in thick fog and could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

Wei Jing and Lin Yu were right next to her. They were pale and their breathing was disordered. It was obvious that they had been seriously injured in the explosion just now.

"Cough cough..." Lin Yu covered his chest and coughed violently a few times, "What is this place?"

Cen Ran looked around, his brows furrowed. "I don't know, it looks like the inside of a formation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space around him began to distort, and a powerful suction force appeared out of nowhere, as if to suck them into endless darkness.

Wei Jing and Lin Yu were already injured and could not resist the suction at this moment. Their bodies floated backwards involuntarily.

"Ah!" Lin Yu exclaimed, his body almost being sucked into the dark vortex.

Seeing this, Cen Ran quickly reached out to grab him, but was stopped by a hand.

"Don't go over there!" Ling Feng's voice rang in her ears, "This is the core of the formation. If you approach rashly, you will be sucked in!"

Cen Ran looked at Ling Feng anxiously, "What should we do? They..."

Lingfeng's face was solemn, his eyes fixed on the darkness, as if he was thinking about something.

Wei Jing gritted his teeth and tried hard to control his body, but the suction was too strong. He felt his body becoming lighter and lighter, as if it would be sucked away at any time.

"Cen Ran..." Wei Jing's voice was weak and powerless, "Don't worry about me... Go away..."

"No!" Cen Ran's eyes were red, "I won't abandon you!"

At this moment, Gu Ling's figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

She held a jade pendant that was gleaming with a faint light in her hand, with a serious expression.

"If we want to break the formation, we must find the center." Gu Ling's eyes swept over the crowd, "The center is in this darkness."

"But..." Cen Ran looked at the darkness that seemed to swallow everything, his heart filled with fear, "It's too dangerous to go in..."

Gu Ling took a deep breath, his eyes determined.

"There is no other way. This is the only way out." She handed the jade pendant to Cen Ran, "Take this, it can help guide you."

Cen Ran took the jade pendant and felt a warmth in his hand.

She looked at the darkness in front of her, then looked at Wei Jing and Lin Yu behind her, her heart full of contradictions and struggles.

"Trust me." Gu Ling's voice sounded again, "I will do my best to protect you."

Cen Ran held the jade pendant tightly, took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became firm.

"Okay." She looked at Lingfeng, "Take good care of them."

After saying this, Cen Ran resolutely turned around and stepped into the darkness...

The jade pendant's light flickered in the darkness, faint but firm, as if it was the only hope guiding her forward...

"Wait!" Ling Feng suddenly spoke...

Cen Ran paused and looked back at Ling Feng.

Lingfeng stepped forward quickly, took out an ancient copper coin from his arms and handed it to Cen Ran: "Take it, it might be useful." Cen Ran took the copper coin, it was cold to the touch, and a strange energy fluctuation came from it.

Without time to think, she stepped into the darkness again. The light of the copper coin and the light of the jade pendant complemented each other, illuminating a small area around them.

At this moment, Cen Ran had a flash of inspiration and remembered the special symbol on the stone gate that she had overlooked.

The symbol was complex and difficult to discern, but it left a deep impression on her.

At this moment, she instinctively felt that this symbol might be the key to breaking the formation!

Cen Ran concentrated his mind and tried to mobilize the energy in his body to release the power of the symbol.

A strange wave spread out from Cen Ran as the center. The originally distorted space gradually stabilized, and the powerful suction force also weakened.

Wei Jing and Lin Yu felt their bodies lighten, the pressure suddenly reduced, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is..." Wei Jing looked in the direction where Cen Ran disappeared in surprise.

"She found the key!" A hint of admiration flashed in Gu Ling's eyes.

Wei Jing and Lin Yu, who had escaped from danger, immediately joined the team looking for the center of the formation. The stability of the space gave them a chance to catch their breath.

Everyone gathered together, but fell into a new dilemma - how to find the core secret of the formation.

Ling Feng carefully observed the flow of energy around him, gesturing with his fingers in the air. "The core of the formation lies in the flow of energy. We need to find the place where the energy converges."

Gu Ling was concentrating on studying the rune structure within the formation. She pointed at one of the complex runes and said, "I think this rune is the key. The way it connects to the other runes is very special."

Cen Ran listened to the two people's analysis, but had different ideas in his mind.

She felt that what Lingfeng and Guling said made sense. The formation relied on the flow of energy and was also controlled by the rune structure.

Perhaps the real key lies in combining the two.

"I think..." Cen Ran opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts.

"How is that possible!" Ling Feng immediately retorted, "Energy flow and rune structure are two completely different fields. How can they be combined?"

"Yeah," Lin Yu agreed, "that's too fantastic."

Gu Ling didn't say anything, but her frown showed that she didn't agree with Cen Ran's idea.

"Wait," Wei Jing suddenly said, "Maybe... Cen Ran is right..." He pointed to a rune in front of him that was flashing with strange light, "Look, this rune..." His words stopped abruptly, his eyes staring at the rune, his face became extremely solemn.

Cen Ran looked around at everyone and found that their thinking was limited to a single aspect, either the flow of energy or the rune structure, but they ignored the connection between them.

"Perhaps we can consider energy flow and rune structure together," Cen Ran said, pointing to the rune that was gleaming with a strange light. "This rune is both a node where energy converges and a key that connects to other runes. If we can control its energy flow, perhaps we can change the structure of the entire formation."

Lingfeng and Guling looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"This... this is a new idea..." Lingfeng pondered.

"It's worth a try," Gu Ling nodded.

So, everyone followed Cen Ran's plan and began to try to control the energy flow of the key rune.

Cen Ran guided the energy in his body and carefully injected it into the rune.

As energy was injected, the rune glowed brighter and brighter, and the surrounding energy flow began to change.

At this moment, the formation launched another attack.

This time, it was not suction that appeared, but elemental spirits.

They have different shapes, some like flames, some like water, some like whirlwinds, and some like rocks. They control the four elements of fire, water, wind, and earth respectively, and launch a fierce attack on everyone.

"Be careful!" Lingfeng shouted and took the lead to meet a fire elemental elf.

He swung the long sword in his hand tightly, blocking the attacks of the fire elemental spirit one by one.

Gu Ling took out an ancient mirror, which emitted a soft light and reflected the attack of the water elemental elf back.

Although Wei Jing and Lin Yu were still injured, they fought hard against the attacks of the wind and earth elemental elves.

Cen Ran continued to control the energy flow of the key runes, trying to maintain the stability of the formation.

The battle was extremely fierce, with the elemental elves attacking in waves, and everyone gradually felt overwhelmed.

"We can't go on like this!" Wei Jing gritted his teeth and said, "We will be exhausted to death!"

"We must find their weaknesses as soon as possible!" Lin Yu agreed.

At this moment, Cen Ran noticed a detail: when the elemental elves converted elements, there would be a momentary pause.

"Wait!" Cen Ran suddenly shouted, "I think I found..."

Cen Ran's eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed on an elemental spirit that was changing its form from flame to water.

"Their weakness is at the moment of element conversion!" Before she finished her words, she moved, and the dagger in her hand turned into a cold light and stabbed straight into the gap of the elemental elf's conversion.

The dagger hit the target accurately, and the elemental elf let out a scream and scattered.

"Did you see that? Attack them the moment they transform!" Cen Ran shouted while dodging attacks from other elemental elves.

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood and changed their tactics.

Lingfeng's sword no longer just blocked, but seized the moment when the elemental spirit transformed and launched an attack with lightning speed.

Gu Ling also used the mirror flexibly. While reflecting attacks, he also used light to interfere with the transformation of elemental spirits, creating opportunities for others.

Although Wei Jing and Lin Yu were still injured, they persisted and seized every opportunity to fight back.

Under the leadership of Cen Ran, everyone cooperated well, seized the moment when the elemental spirits transformed, and defeated them one by one. The originally fierce offensive was gradually disintegrated.

As the last elemental spirit dissipated, the surrounding energy fluctuations gradually subsided.

Everyone stood there panting. Although they were tired, their eyes were full of excitement.

"We succeeded!" Lin Yu waved his fist excitedly.

"It's not over yet," Cen Ran said solemnly. "This is just the beginning." She looked around, her gaze landing on the rune in the center of the formation that was gleaming with a strange light. "The core of the formation is still there. Besides, I feel like this is just the appetizer. There must be more powerful defense mechanisms behind it."

Ling Feng nodded, his expression equally solemn: "Cen Ran is right, we must find the core of the formation as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, the ground suddenly shook violently and the entire space began to distort.

A huge crack appeared under everyone's feet. The bottomless darkness was like a giant beast that chose people to devour, emitting a heart-pounding breath.

"Not good!" Gu Ling exclaimed, "The formation is..."

"Quick! Jump!" Cen Ran made a quick decision, grabbed Wei Jing, who was closest to her, and leaped into the air...
