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

Chapter 20: Dangers of the Ruins, Golden Finger Helps

There was a rustling sound coming from deep in the passage, like something crawling, or the rustling of leaves in the wind.

There was a strange fragrance in the air. It wasn't unpleasant, but it made people's scalps tingle.

Xiao Bei's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

"It can't be some kind of monster, right?" Bei Li's face turned pale as she clutched Xiao Bei's arm tightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xiao Bei comforted him, although he was a little nervous himself.

He gripped the tinderbox tightly in his hand and looked ahead vigilantly.

The passage was very narrow, only wide enough for two people to walk side by side. The strange runes on the wall flickered in the flickering firelight, as if they were breathing.

The two walked forward a few more steps, and suddenly, there was a "click" sound, and they seemed to step on something.

not good!

Xiao Bei's heart was filled with alarm, and he almost subconsciously threw Bei Li to the ground.

At the same time, several sharp arrows shot out from the walls on both sides, whizzing and hitting the place where they had just stood.

"Oh my god! I'm so scared!" Bei Li patted his chest in shock. "What the hell is this place? There are so many traps!"

"Fortunately, I reacted quickly." Xiao Bei smiled proudly and quietly activated the system's defense function. A light golden light shield instantly enveloped the two of them.

"Hey, Xiao Li'er, how's it going? My system is awesome, right?"

Bei Li's eyes widened. "Wow, Brother Xiao Bei, your system is amazing! It's a must-have tool for home travel, murder and robbery!"

"Keep a low profile and don't try to be too strict with your basic skills." Xiao Bei waved his hand and began to explain some basic functions of the system to Bei Li, such as defense, attack, detection, etc.

As he spoke, he did not forget to scan the surrounding environment to see if there were any other mechanisms.

At this moment, footsteps were heard again from the depths of the passage, getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

"Someone is coming!" Xiao Bei's face changed and he signaled Bei Li to be quiet.

"It can't be..." Beili also became nervous and held Xiao Bei's hand tightly.

The footsteps were getting closer, and a familiar voice came from deep in the passage...

"Liu Meng? And Senior Sister Zhao? Why are they here too..." Xiao Bei said in a low voice, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao came over with a swagger. Seeing Xiao Bei and Bei Li, Liu Meng looked disdainful: "Hey, isn't this our great genius Xiao? What, are you here treasure hunting too? Aren't you afraid of being shot into a sieve by the traps here?"

Senior Sister Zhao chuckled softly, a hint of greed flashing in her eyes. "Junior Brother Xiao, I heard that you've been appreciated by the Sect Leader. I imagine you have quite a few goodies, right? Why not... share them with us?"

Xiao Bei rolled his eyes and thought to himself: You two rookies want to take advantage of me?

"Sharing? Not happening. As for you guys, be careful and don't start crying and asking me to save you."

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense!" Liu Meng rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to fight. "If you know what's good for you, hand over the treasure on you, otherwise..."

"What else?" Xiao Bei stared back at him fearlessly, and at the same time quietly turned on the system's scanning function to search for the surrounding mechanisms and hidden passages.

"Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!" Liu Meng had just finished speaking when Senior Sister Zhao pulled him back. "Wait, Junior Brother Liu, look!" She pointed at the runes on the wall, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "These runes... seem to be some kind of ancient formation!"

Liu Meng also became interested and moved over to observe it carefully.

The two of them studied the runes and tried to crack the mechanism, completely leaving Xiao Bei and Bei Li aside.

Xiao Bei was happy to have some free time and continued to use the system to scan the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, the system prompted: "A hidden passage has been found!" Xiao Bei was delighted. It seemed that his golden finger was still very powerful!

He pretended to walk to the wall casually and knocked on it gently with his hand. Sure enough, the wall made a hollow "dong dong" sound.

"Xiao Li'er, look here!" Xiao Bei pointed at an inconspicuous rune on the wall and said, "This rune seems a little different."

Beili came over to take a look, and sure enough, this rune was slightly different from the other runes. It was darker in color and emitted a faint glow.

"What is this?" Beili asked curiously.

"Maybe... it's the key to open the hidden passage?" Xiao Bei smiled mysteriously, then placed his hand on the rune.

The rune flashed, and the wall slowly opened, revealing a dark passage.

"Oh my god! There really is a hidden passage!" Bei Li exclaimed, looking at Xiao Bei with admiration, "Brother Xiao Bei, you are so amazing!"

Xiao Bei smiled proudly, took Bei Li's hand, and walked into the hidden passage.

Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao were still studying those complicated runes and didn't notice that Xiao Bei and Bei Li had disappeared.

The passage was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Xiao Bei turned on the system's night vision function, and only then could he see the surrounding environment clearly.

The passage was very narrow, only enough for one person to pass through. The walls were covered with moss and emitted a damp and moldy smell.

"Brother Xiao Bei, it's so dark here, I'm so scared..." Bei Li held Xiao Bei's hand tightly, her voice trembling.

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

The two continued walking forward, when suddenly, Xiao Bei stopped and his expression changed.

"Wait..." He whispered, "I feel... like something is watching us..."

Beili also became nervous and hugged Xiao Bei's arm tightly.

"What? Where is it?"

Xiao Bei didn't answer, but slowly turned around and looked at the darkness behind him...

"Come out..." he said coldly, "I know you are there..." In the darkness, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly lit up, and then a huge figure emerged from the shadows.

It was a huge spider, covered with black hair, and its eight sharp claws made a harsh sound as they scratched the rocky ground.

"Fuck! A giant spider!" Beili screamed in fright and hid behind Xiao Bei, trembling.

Xiao Bei, however, remained calm and even took out his cell phone to take a picture.

"Hey, this thing looks pretty cool, but I don't know how it tastes."

"Brother Xiao Bei! It's already this time and you're still thinking about eating!" Bei Li couldn't help but complain.

"It's just a joke, don't be nervous." Xiao Bei put away his phone and turned on the system's scanning function.

"Xiao Li'er, look over there!" He pointed to a corner deep in the passage where tiny stars twinkled. "It looks like there's something good there!"

The two approached cautiously and found that it was a rare spiritual herb that exuded rich spiritual energy.

"Wow! I'm rich!" Beili shouted excitedly and started picking quickly.

Xiao Bei also collected some and dug up a few pieces of minerals that emitted strange light.

"This thing looks quite impressive. Maybe it can be used to upgrade my system."

Just as the two were busy collecting treasures, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance, followed by Liu Meng's roar: "Damn puppet! I'm going to fight you!"

"Let's go and see what's going on." Xiao Bei pulled Bei Li and quietly walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao were being chased all over the ground by a huge puppet. The puppet was made of metal and held a huge axe in its hand. Every blow was incredibly powerful.

"Liu Meng is really a reckless man." Xiao Bei shook his head, turned on the system's analysis function, and began to observe the puppet's weaknesses.

"Brother Xiao Bei, can we help them?" Bei Li felt a little reluctant.

"Help? Why should we help?" Xiao Bei sneered, "It's better to let them suffer a little, so that they won't cause us trouble in the future."

The two hid in the dark, watching Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao flee in a panic, and occasionally let out a few gloating laughs.

Suddenly, the puppet stopped attacking, slowly turned around, and stared at the place where Xiao Bei and Bei Li were hiding with its scarlet eyes...

"Oh no! It discovered us!" Beili exclaimed.

However, Xiao Bei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

"Don't panic, Xiao Li'er, the fun has just begun..." He whispered, "I've found its weakness..."

Xiao Bei had a sly smile on his face. The system had already analyzed the puppet's weakness clearly - a palm-sized rune on the back of its neck was its energy core.

"Xiao Li'er, do you see that shiny rune? Hit it hard!"

Although Beili was afraid, her trust in Xiao Bei made her do it without hesitation.

She moved lightly, like a nimble swallow, and circled behind the puppet. A dagger appeared in her hand and stabbed directly at the rune.

Xiao Bei turned on the taunting mode and started attacking the puppet.

"Iron Lump, come here, grandpa is here! You are as stupid as a pig, I can't even catch you!" As he said this, he nimbly dodged the puppet's attacks, not forgetting to kick it in the crotch from time to time.

The puppet was enraged by Xiao Bei and gave up chasing Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao and turned to attack Xiao Bei.

It swung its giant axe, and every attack was accompanied by a whistling sound of wind, and deep pits were smashed into the ground.

"666, Xiao Bei's operation is simply amazing!" Bei Li did not forget to give Xiao Bei a thumbs up while attacking.

"Don't worry about the basic exercises, it's just a small scene." Xiao Bei said it lightly, but he didn't dare to slack off with his hands.

Finally, under Beili's continuous attack, the runes on the back of the puppet's neck began to flash and make a "sizzling" sound.

"Now!" Xiao Bei shouted, and a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand, with lightning flashing on the sword. It was the Thunder Sword rewarded by the system!

He leaped high and stabbed the rune with his sword.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the puppet fell to the ground, and its parts were scattered all over the floor.

Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao stared at the scene in amazement, feeling both shocked and angry.

The puppet that they tried their best to defeat was actually solved so easily by Xiao Bei and Bei Li!

"Damn it! How can this kid have such a powerful weapon!" Liu Meng gritted his teeth.

"It seems that we still underestimated him..." Senior Sister Zhao's eyes were sinister.

Xiao Bei and Bei Li ignored them and began to collect materials from the puppet.

"Brother Xiao Bei, we seem to be getting closer and closer to the awakening materials!" Bei Li said excitedly.

Xiao Bei nodded, a gleam in his eyes.

"That's right, but I always feel that...something is secretly watching us..." He looked around and said vigilantly.

The two continued to go deeper into the ruins, and the air was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

The walls on both sides of the passage were engraved with strange runes, flickering with faint light.

Suddenly, the passage ahead disappeared, replaced by a huge stone door with a lifelike dragon carved on it and a gem shining with colorful light embedded in the dragon's eye.

"What...what is this?" Beili covered his mouth in surprise.

Xiao Bei reached out and touched the gem, and a powerful energy wave instantly spread throughout his body.

"Om-"

The stone door slowly opened, and an ancient and mysterious aura filled the air...

"It seems... we found it..." Xiao Bei took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"Wait..." Bei Li suddenly grabbed Xiao Bei's sleeve and pointed at the shadow inside the stone gate, "Look..."

In the shadows, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly lit up...
