Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

"Wait..." The spirit guide's voice trembled, and he pointed his cane at the deep fog ahead, "What is that..."

Xiao Bei narrowed his eyes and released his spiritual sense with all his strength, but he still couldn't see the scene in the thick fog clearly.

"Old man, I'm afraid your golden finger is just a decoration? If we can't even see it clearly, what are we exploring?"

The spirit world guide blushed. "My dear guest, you may not know that the fog in this Misty Forest is not ordinary fog. It can interfere with spiritual detection. This little ability of mine..."

Before he could finish his words, a rustling sound suddenly came from the thick fog, as if something was moving quickly.

"Oh my god! Could it be that some monster leader is about to show up?" Xiao Bei subconsciously tightened the sword in his hand and prepared for battle.

Bei Li, however, grabbed him and hid behind him, her voice trembling: "Xiao Bei, I'm a little scared..." Although she was usually talkative and clingy, she still showed the weak side of a little girl in this situation.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xiao Bei patted her hand and comforted her.

Although he said this, he was also a little nervous.

After all, this foggy forest is full of weirdness, and who knows what will pop up.

At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly spoke up, "I think I know where this is." He pointed ahead, his tone solemn, "According to ancient records, deep within this misty forest lies a forbidden area called the 'Valley of Lost Souls.' It's filled with traps left over from ancient times. If you're not careful, your soul will be shattered."

"Valley of Lost Souls? The name sounds unlucky..." Xiao Bei complained, "Why does this system always lead me to such dangerous places?"

"It's said that this forest was once the place where an ancient and powerful being cultivated," the spirit world guide added. "To prevent outsiders from disturbing it, he set up numerous restrictions and traps. The most dangerous of these is the Valley of Lost Souls."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light suddenly shot out from the thick fog and headed straight for Xiao Bei!

Xiao Bei reacted quickly and dodged sideways. The cold light brushed past his cheek, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Oh my god! Are you serious?"

"Be careful!" Xiao Feng warned, "This is just a tentative attack, the real danger is yet to come!"

"What are we waiting for? Let's run!" Xiao Bei pulled Beili and Xiaofeng and ran back, and the spirit world guide followed closely behind.

"No!" The spiritual guide suddenly stopped, "This road... is wrong!" "Wrong? What's wrong?" Xiao Bei asked while running and looking back, almost bumping into Xiao Feng in front of him.

"This road leads deeper!" The spirit guide pointed in the direction of what looked like the exit, his face pale. "We...we're going the wrong way!"

"Holy crap, is this true?!" Xiao Bei felt his scalp tingling, "Is this system playing tricks on me? Is it deliberately trying to kill me?"

"Xiao Bei, let's go back, it's too dangerous!" Bei Li held Xiao Bei's arm tightly, her voice filled with tears.

"No!" Xiao Bei was firm. "We've come this far, how can we return empty-handed? Besides, the mission issued by the system hasn't been completed yet! Going back would be a dead end!"

"But..." Bei Li wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Bei.

"Believe me! I can take you out! My halo as the protagonist is not a joke!" Xiao Bei looked confident, as if he was sure to win.

"The halo of the protagonist? You must have read too many novels!" Bei Li couldn't help but complain, but the fear in his tone was less, replaced by trust in Xiao Bei.

"It's already this late, and you're still bickering!" Xiao Feng shook her head helplessly, "Let's find a way to get out of this predicament first!"

"Go this way!" Xiao Bei pointed to another path and said firmly, "I feel this is the right way!"

Although Beili had doubts, she still chose to believe Xiao Bei and followed him closely.

At this moment, Beili slipped and accidentally stepped on a hidden mechanism.

With a light "click" sound, the surrounding trees suddenly came alive, vines coiled around like snakes, and sharp branches were like swords, piercing towards everyone with a sound of breaking through the air.

"Oh no! It's an offensive spiritual plant!" The spiritual guide exclaimed and hurriedly waved his crutch, releasing spiritual power to resist the attack.

"Beili, are you okay?" Xiao Bei hurriedly supported Beili and asked with concern.

"I'm fine..." Beili's face was pale, obviously frightened.

"It's all my fault. I was too careless..." Beili blamed himself.

"Now is not the time to blame yourself!" Xiao Feng shouted while resisting the attack of the spiritual plant, "First, find a way to break through!"

Xiao Bei looked around and found that they were surrounded by spiritual plants. The dense vines and branches were like green barriers, trapping them inside.

"It seems that we have no choice but to force our way in!" Xiao Bei's eyes focused, and the long sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light.

"Wait!" Xiao Feng suddenly shouted, "The attacks of these spiritual plants seem to have... a pattern..."

Before Xiao Feng could finish her words, a thick vine came at her like a giant python, heading straight for Xiao Bei's door...

Xiao Bei watched the giant python-like vines coming towards him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"That's it?" He growled, "Lightning flash!" A dazzling lightning flashed out from the sword in his hand, instantly splitting the vines into charcoal.

"Anything produced by the system must be top-notch! This lightning flash is no joke!"

Xiao Feng also took the opportunity to observe the attack patterns of the surrounding spiritual plants and found that although their attacks were fierce, they had a certain rhythm and range.

"Xiao Bei, attack the roots of the third tree on the left! That's their weak point!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bei swung his sword towards the designated location without hesitation.

Sure enough, with a shrill scream, the surrounding spiritual plants stopped attacking and fell to the ground in dejection.

"Great! Xiao Feng, with your puzzle-solving skills, it would be a waste of your talent if you didn't become a detective!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" the spirit world guide warned, "Leave quickly before they recover!"

Xiao Bei pulled Bei Li and followed Xiao Feng through the gaps between the spiritual plants, while the spiritual world guide stayed behind to prevent the spiritual plants from attacking again.

"It's all my fault. I was too impulsive..." Beili lowered his head and said self-blamingly.

"It's okay, just be more careful next time." Xiao Bei comforted, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, right? Next time before you step on the mechanism, ask me, the holder of the protagonist halo, to ensure your safety!"

Beili rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's already this late, and you still have the mind to joke!" Although she said this, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Stop arguing and let's go!" Xiao Feng urged.

They ran all the way and finally found a relatively safe place.

"Huh... I'm finally safe..." Xiao Bei breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. "This misty forest is so fucking exciting!"

"What a thrill!" Bei Li said angrily, "I almost died here!"

"But then again, this system is really something. It always leads me to dangerous places..." Xiao Bei complained.

"Perhaps... within this danger, there are also opportunities..." Xiao Feng said thoughtfully, his eyes falling on a stone tablet not far away, "Look..."

There are some ancient words engraved on the stone tablet, which seem to be some kind of clue...

"This...could it be..." Xiao Bei widened his eyes, "A way to repair the map?!" Xiao Bei moved closer to the stone tablet and squinted his eyes to look at the scribbles-like words on it.

"What the hell is this? Oracle? Or Martian?" He scratched his head. "System, come out and explain it!"

The system didn't respond at all. Xiao Bei rolled his eyes. "You failed at the critical moment. Bad review!"

"Let me see." Xiao Feng walked forward and carefully observed the words on the stone tablet with a frown.

"This seems to be an ancient text. I've seen similar records in ancient books before..."

Beili and the spirit world guide also gathered around, staring at Xiaofeng nervously, as if he was the last hope.

"How is it? Can it be solved?" Xiao Bei rubbed his hands, looking expectant.

Xiao Feng did not answer, but just concentrated on studying the words on the stone tablet, gesturing with his fingers in the air and muttering to himself.

Time passed minute by minute, and the air around seemed to be frozen, with only Xiao Feng's breathing and the occasional chirping of insects and birds.

Beili held Xiao Bei's arm tightly, and her palms were sweating.

"Xiao Bei, do you think he can solve it?"

"Believe in Xiao Feng, he is the intellectual leader of our team!" Xiao Bei patted Bei Li's hand and comforted him, although he himself was not sure.

The spiritual guide looked around with a worried look on his face, fearing that some danger would suddenly appear.

"This place... is so weird... I always feel like something is watching us..."

"Old man, please stop being such a pessimist!" Xiao Bei said unhappily, "Can you please say something nice?"

Suddenly, Xiao Feng stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"I see!"

"What did you know?" Xiao Bei asked impatiently.

"I know how to repair the map!" Xiao Feng said firmly.

"Great!" Xiao Bei jumped up excitedly, "I knew you could do it, Xiao Feng!"

"Don't be too happy yet," Xiao Feng pointed at the words on the stone tablet, "Repairing the map requires a special material called 'Meteorite'."

"Meteorite? What is that?" Xiao Bei looked confused.

"Meteorite is an extremely rare mineral, said to contain powerful star power..." Xiao Feng explained, "If we want to repair the map, we must find it."

"Where can I find this?" Xiao Bei scratched his head. "This system is so crappy! It just keeps issuing impossible tasks!"

"Wait..." The spirit world guide suddenly said, "I think... I know where there are meteorites..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the spiritual guide.

The spirit guide pointed in a direction, his voice trembling, "If... I remember correctly... deep in the Misty Forest... there is a... 'Starfall Mountain'..."

"Xingyue Mountain?!" Xiao Bei's eyes widened. "Just hearing the name sounds awesome!"

"It is said that... the Starfall Mountain... is covered with meteorites..." the spirit world guide added, "But... it is also the most dangerous place in the Misty Forest..."

"The most dangerous place?!" Xiao Bei swallowed his saliva, "This... this system is deliberately trying to kill me, right?!"

"But... in order to repair the map..." Xiao Feng said with a determined look, "We must go!"

"Let's go! I'm not afraid of anything!" Xiao Bei puffed out his chest, looking ready to die. "Isn't it just Xingyun Mountain? I, Xiao Bei, will definitely break through!"

"Wait..." Bei Li suddenly pulled Xiao Bei and pointed at an inconspicuous corner below the stone tablet, "You... look..."
