Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing
Chapter 44: In times of trouble, the golden finger helps
After the dazzling white light, Xiao Bei and Bei Li found themselves in an even more bizarre space.
If the previous maze was ancient and mysterious, then this place was a naked killing field.
The surrounding walls were no longer made of ordinary stones, but were covered with dense spikes, like sharp claws extending from hell, emitting a chilling cold light.
What's even more terrifying is that these spikes are slowly shrinking inward, and the space is getting smaller and smaller, as if they are going to squeeze them into meat patties alive.
"Fuck! System, what the hell is this place?!" Xiao Bei couldn't help but swear. This scene was more exciting than any horror movie he had ever seen.
Bei Li clung tightly to Xiao Bei, her face pale as she trembled as she said, "Xiao...Xiao Bei, I...I'm a little scared..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xiao Bei tried to comfort her calmly, but he was actually very panicked inside.
The oppressive feeling in the space became stronger and stronger, the sharp edges of the spikes seemed to have touched their skin, and the shadow of death hung over their hearts.
"Ding! The host is detected to be in extreme danger, and an urgent task is now issued: 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds'. Task objective: Find an escape exit before the space is completely closed. Task reward: 'Space Folding' skill book, and key information to escape from this place." The system's cold prompt sounded in Xiao Bei's mind, like a ray of light in the darkness.
"Space folding? This is a good thing!" Xiao Bei's eyes lit up. This skill is more advanced than space jumping. Not only can it teleport instantly, but it can also fold space for attack or defense. It is simply a must-have skill for traveling at home, killing and robbing.
"System, I accept it!" Xiao Bei chose to accept the task without hesitation.
The system immediately gave a prompt: "The key to escape is hidden among the spikes. Please observe carefully."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bei immediately focused his attention and began to carefully observe the surrounding spikes.
These spikes are of different shapes and sizes, and their arrangement seems to be random, but Xiao Bei always feels that there is some mystery hidden in them.
"Wait, something seems a little off..." Xiao Bei's eyes were fixed on one of the slightly different spikes. It was slightly thicker than the others, and its color was darker, and...
It seemed to be trembling slightly.
"Beili, look at that spike!" Xiao Bei said, pointing at the spike.
Beili looked in the direction of Xiao Bei's finger and also discovered something strange about the sharp thorn.
"It...it seems...to be moving..." Beili's voice trembled slightly.
Xiao Bei cautiously stretched out his hand and slowly approached the sharp thorn...
"Don't move!" An old voice suddenly sounded in the space, scaring Xiao Bei so much that he retracted his hand.
Xiao Bei's hand was suspended in the air, his heart pounding.
This sudden sound was like a thunder, exploding in the silent space.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man in a gray robe appear in front of them at some point.
The old man was hunched over and had a face full of wrinkles, but his cloudy eyes sparkled with a gleam that seemed to see through everything.
"Senior..." Xiao Bei spoke tentatively, secretly guessing the old man's identity in his heart.
Could this be the guardian of the ruins mentioned by the system?
The old man ignored Xiao Bei and stared at the slightly trembling spike, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Young man, being too curious is not a good thing." The old man said in a low voice with a hint of warning.
"But... Senior, this space..." Xiao Bei wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the old man.
"I know what you're trying to say." The old man sighed. "This 'Ten Thousand Thorns Purgatory' is a test left over from ancient times. Only those who pass the test can obtain the treasures within."
"Test?" Xiao Bei was stunned. It turned out that this thing had such a childish name.
"That's right." The old man nodded, "And the spike you just touched is the mechanism that opens the next level."
"What? A mechanism?!" Xiao Bei almost dropped his jaw in shock. This thing looked like it could kill people, but it turned out to be a mechanism?
This is too cheating!
"Since you have found the mechanism, go ahead." After the old man said this, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
"Hey, senior! Wait..." Before Xiao Bei had time to ask more questions, the old man had disappeared.
This old man made such a cool appearance, but he just said a few words and ran away?
It makes him look like a non-player character (NPC) in the game.
"Xiao Bei, what should we do now?" Bei Li asked timidly.
Xiao Bei took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Since it's a mechanism, just press it! What are you afraid of?"
Xiao Bei stretched out his hand again and decisively pressed down the sharp spike.
With a light "click" sound, the surrounding spikes stopped moving instantly and the space no longer shrank.
"Wow! It works!" Xiao Bei waved his fist excitedly. This system is indeed reliable!
Beili excitedly threw herself into Xiao Bei's arms, hugged him tightly, her body still trembling slightly.
"Xiao Bei...thank you..."
Xiao Bei patted Bei Li's back gently, feeling her soft body, his heart full of pity.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Suddenly, a slight hissing sound was heard in the air, and the ground began to shake slightly...
"What's that sound?" Xiao Bei looked around vigilantly.
A crack appeared in the ground, and then monsters made of green energy crawled out of the crack.
These monsters have different shapes, some look like spiders, some like scorpions, and some like snakes, but without exception they all have fangs and claws and emit a disgusting fishy smell.
"Oh my god! What the hell is this?!" Xiao Bei couldn't help but complain. This maze was really full of troubles.
"Xiao Bei, be careful!" Bei Li exclaimed, and a spider-like monster pounced towards Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He pushed Bei Li away and at the same time drew the long sword from his waist and slashed at the monster.
With a "ding" sound, the long sword hit the monster, but did not cause any damage, instead it was bounced back.
"Fuck! So hard?" Xiao Bei cursed inwardly. This monster's defense was too abnormal!
"Xiao Bei, they seem... not afraid of physical attacks..." Bei Li hid behind Xiao Bei, trembling.
Xiao Bei frowned. These monsters are not afraid of physical attacks. What should he do?
Do you want to sit back and wait for death?
At this moment, Xiao Bei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered a light-attribute spirit stone he had obtained in the maze before.
This spirit stone contains powerful light energy, and may be used to deal with these monsters.
"Beili, hold on to me!" Xiao Bei grabbed Beili's hand and injected the power of the spirit stone into the sword.
The long sword suddenly emitted a dazzling light, like a small sun, illuminating the entire space.
After being illuminated by the light, the monsters let out shrill screams, and their bodies began to gradually dissipate, finally turning into wisps of green smoke and disappearing.
"Huh...it's finally solved..." Xiao Bei breathed a sigh of relief. This light-attribute spirit stone was indeed useful.
Beili also walked out from behind Xiao Bei, with a smile of surviving a disaster on his face.
"Xiao Bei, you are so awesome!"
Xiao Bei smiled and was about to say something when he suddenly felt a cold breath coming from behind him...
"You two, are you having fun?" A cold voice sounded behind them.
Xiao Bei and Bei Li turned around suddenly and saw Elder Fang appeared behind them at some point with a meaningful smile on his face.
"Elder Fang?
"Xiao Bei's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this old guy wanted to rob his fellow thieves?
"Not bad, Xiaobei, you can actually walk here.
"Elder Fang stroked his beard, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes," It seems that I was right about you. You are a boy with potential.
"
Xiao Bei secretly complained in his heart, what is this old fox up to?
But he said respectfully, "Elder Fang, you are too kind. I am just lucky.
"
“Luck is also part of strength.
"Elder Fang smiled and said, "However, the danger of this maze is far beyond your imagination. It will be difficult for you two to reach the end with just your strength."
"
Xiao Bei's heart moved. Could it be that this old guy had a change of heart and planned to help them?
"What does Elder Fang mean?
"
“I can take you away from here.
"Elder Fang spoke calmly, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.
Xiao Bei and Bei Li looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
There's something wrong with the direction this plot is taking!
Could it be that Elder Fang has changed his personality?
"Elder Fang, you... you are not kidding, right?" Xiao Bei asked tentatively.
Elder Fang smiled faintly: "This old man never jokes.
The ultimate treasure of this maze is not something you can get your hands on.
The purpose of my trip is not to obtain treasures, but to ensure your safety.
"
Xiao Bei was even more confused. What on earth was this old guy planning?
However, since Elder Fang offered to take them away, that would naturally be what they wanted.
"Thank you very much, Elder Fang!" Xiao Bei hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome," Elder Fang waved his hand, "Follow me."
Elder Fang turned and walked forward, followed closely by Xiao Bei and Bei Li.
With Elder Fang's guidance, they had a smooth journey. The maze that was originally full of dangers now seemed like a smooth road.
Although Xiao Bei was confused, he didn't ask too many questions. After all, the most important thing was to be able to leave here safely.
Just as they were about to reach the exit of the maze, Elder Fang suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Xiao Bei, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"Xiaobei, there seems to be something about you that attracts me..."
