Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing
Chapter 732: Exploring the Ruins: Xiao Bei's Strange Discovery
The ancient ruins stand silently at the end of the canyon, like a sleeping giant, exhaling a thick breath of darkness.
Xiao Bei stood in front of the ruins, curiosity and vigilance dancing in his deep eyes.
This dark aura was not evil, but rather carried a hint of ancient and mysterious charm, like a low chant, arousing his curiosity.
The stone walls of the ruins were covered with unknown vines, and the emerald green leaves glowed with a faint cold light in the dim light.
The air was filled with the smell of damp earth, mixed with a faint smell of decay, which stimulated Xiao Bei's sense of smell.
He reached out and touched the cold stone wall, feeling the rough texture from his fingertips, as if he was touching traces of history.
"Here..." Xiao Bei whispered. He could feel a powerful force lurking deep in the ruins, like a dormant giant beast, waiting for the opportunity to wake up.
This power made him excited and more vigilant.
Bei Li followed Xiao Bei closely, her bright eyes looking at everything around her curiously.
She reached out and grabbed the corner of Xiao Bei's clothes, feeling the warmth coming from him, and the uneasiness in her heart subsided a little.
Mo Yuan and Tianjizi also came to the ruins. They both had solemn expressions and stared intently at the ruins in front of them.
Mo Yuan frowned, calculating something with his hands and muttering to himself.
Tianjizi took out a compass from his arms and carefully observed the direction of the needle.
Lingfeng stood aside, observing the surrounding environment vigilantly, holding his sword tightly in his hand.
There was a gust of cold wind in the canyon, making a low humming sound, as if warning them not to get close.
At the entrance of the ruins, a rune barrier flashing with light blue light blocked their way.
The runes swam on the barrier like tadpoles, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
Xiao Bei reached out and touched the barrier, but a strong repulsive force pushed him back.
"This barrier..." Xiao Bei narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the arrangement and combination of runes.
He felt that this barrier was not just a defensive formation, but more like a seal that locked up the secrets in the ruins.
"Let me try." Mo Yuan stepped forward, formed a seal with his hands, and a golden light shot towards the barrier.
The golden light collided with the barrier, making a sharp roar and causing ripples.
However, the barrier remained motionless, as if indestructible.
"This rune..." Tianjizi carefully observed the runes on the barrier, his brows furrowed. "It seems to be a sealing technique from ancient times. It is extremely complex and difficult to break."
Xiao Bei's eyes were determined, and a spirit of not giving up surged in his heart.
He took a deep breath, slowly stretched out his hand, and touched the runes on the barrier with his fingertips.
"let me……"
The moment Xiao Bei's fingertips touched the rune barrier, a strong electric current instantly ran through his whole body, and the severe pain made him groan.
A powerful force pushed him away and he staggered back a few steps. Beili quickly supported him.
"Xiao Bei, are you okay?" she asked anxiously. Xiao Bei took a deep breath, shook his head, his face slightly pale.
"It's okay, it's just that the power of this rune is stronger than I imagined." He looked down at his slightly trembling hands, with a tingling numbness lingering on his fingertips.
A feeling of anxiety spread in his heart. He was eager to enter the ruins and uncover the secrets within, but this sudden obstacle made him feel powerless.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Xiao Bei's forehead. The air around him seemed to freeze, and every breath was accompanied by a dull pain.
He clenched his teeth and tried hard to suppress the surging blood in his body.
He looked up at the rune barrier, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
This barrier was like an insurmountable chasm, separating him from the secrets of the ruins.
At this moment, Lingfeng's figure appeared in everyone's sight. He came around from the side of the ruins with a hint of excitement on his face.
"I found another entrance!" he said, pointing to a hidden hole on the side of the ruins.
Everyone was stunned and looked at Lingfeng in confusion.
They had been focusing on studying the rune barrier in front of them, but ignored other possibilities.
Lingfeng's behavior was beyond everyone's expectations, and the originally tense atmosphere was slightly eased.
Xiao Bei and Bei Li looked at each other.
"Are you sure?" Tianjizi asked half-doubtfully, his eyes moving back and forth between Lingfeng and the hidden cave entrance.
"I'm sure!" Lingfeng nodded affirmatively, "Although the cave entrance is hidden, it is not covered by the rune barrier." He walked quickly to the cave entrance, reached out and probed, and a cold breath came from the cave entrance.
"It's very deep inside, and..." Ling Feng paused, frowning slightly, "There's also a strange aura..."
"What kind of aura?" Xiao Bei asked hurriedly, with a bad premonition in his heart.
Ling Feng didn't answer. He just turned his head slowly, his eyes fixed on Xiao Bei, and said word by word: "The breath of death..."
The breath of death...
These four words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.
Xiao Bei's heart tightened and he clenched the sword in his hand.
Beili also subconsciously moved closer to Xiao Bei, tightly grasping his arm with cold fingertips.
At this moment, the land around the ruins began to tremble, and black mist rose from the ground, quickly condensing into hideous puppets.
These puppets were completely black, with green flames burning in their eye sockets, emitting a chilling aura of death.
They brandished their weapons, let out shrill screams, and pounced on Xiao Bei and others like evil spirits from hell.
"Be careful!" Xiao Bei shouted and swung the sword in his hand. A sharp sword energy cut through the air and cut the first puppet that rushed up into two halves.
However, these puppets seemed to have no sense of pain. Even if they were cut off, the broken limbs would still wriggle on the ground, trying to reassemble themselves.
The battle is about to break out.
The number of puppets is increasing, coming like a tide.
Xiao Bei and others were surrounded and could only dodge and fight back.
Every attack put them in danger, and the dangerous atmosphere continued to rise.
The swords clashed and fire flew everywhere.
Xiao Bei's long sword was like a swimming dragon, weaving through the group of puppets, and every swing took away a cloud of black mist.
He is agile and quick in his movements, and he can handle the intensive attacks with ease.
Beili followed closely behind him, waving the staff in his hand, shooting out ice cones, freezing the approaching puppets.
"Xiao Bei, be careful!" Bei Li exclaimed, and saw a puppet attacking Xiao Bei from the side, with its sharp claws heading straight for his back.
Xiao Bei turned around suddenly and blocked the attack with the sword in his hand. The huge impact force made him take a few steps back.
Beili quickly stepped forward to support him.
"I'm fine." Xiao Bei smiled at her, and with a backhanded sword, he smashed the puppet that was attacking him into pieces.
In the fierce battle, he looked back from time to time to check on Beili's situation. Beili looked at his
Mo Yuan and Tianjizi also joined the battle.
The runes in Mo Yuan's hands flickered, and golden light shot out, blowing the puppet into pieces.
Tianjizi waved the whisk in his hand like a barrier, blocking the puppet's attack.
Lingfeng used his agility to shuttle through the group of puppets. The dagger in his hand was like the fangs of a poisonous snake, and every attack accurately hit the puppet's vital points.
The battle lasted for a long time, but the number of puppets did not decrease at all.
Xiao Bei felt something was wrong. These puppets seemed to be endless, as if something was controlling them.
He looked up into the depths of the ruins, his eyes falling on a high platform in the center of the ruins.
There, a thick dark aura is constantly surging...
"There..." Xiao Bei pointed at the platform and said in a deep voice, "Maybe..."
Xiao Bei narrowed his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a torch, locked onto the dark aura surging on the high platform in the center of the ruins.
"That...maybe that's the source of control for these puppets." He said in a deep voice, with a hint of determination in his tone.
Without waiting for others to respond, he pointed his toes and shot towards the platform like an arrow.
"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li exclaimed and wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Xiao Bei rushed left and right while surrounded by puppets, swinging the long sword in his hand tightly and with sword energy running wildly, he chopped the approaching puppets into pieces one by one.
He was agile and extremely fast, moving like a black lightning among the group of puppets.
The black sleeves fluttered like bats flying in the night sky, carrying a murderous aura.
On the high platform, a black sphere was suspended in the air, emitting a heart-pounding dark aura.
The surface of the sphere was covered with complex runes, crisscrossing like blood vessels and pulsating with strange light.
This is the dark core that controls the puppet.
Xiao Bei rushed to the front of the platform, and a powerful repulsive force came towards him, causing his blood to surge.
He gritted his teeth, endured the discomfort, and thrust the sword in his hand suddenly into the core of darkness.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the dark core trembled violently, and the black light spread out like ripples.
Xiao Bei was knocked flying and fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
"Xiao Bei!" Beili and others exclaimed and rushed towards him.
However, at this moment, the dark core suddenly exploded, and the black light dissipated instantly, as if it was swallowed up.
The puppets on the platform fell to the ground one after another, motionless, like bodies without souls.
Xiao Bei struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked around. The battle was over.
Friends gathered around, "Xiao Bei, are you okay?" Bei Li supported him and asked anxiously.
Xiao Bei shook his head and forced a smile. "It's okay, we won."
The air around them seemed to freeze, leaving only the sound of everyone's rapid breathing.
After a moment, Lingfeng broke the silence, "I found another entrance!" He pointed to a hidden hole on the side of the ruins, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
Everyone followed Lingfeng into the cave entrance and walked along a narrow passage.
The stone walls on both sides of the passage were engraved with ancient runes, emitting a faint light, illuminating the road ahead.
The air was filled with the smell of damp earth, mixed with a faint fragrance.
After walking for a long time, the passage suddenly opened up and a huge space appeared in front of everyone.
In the center of the space, a crystal stone emitting a strange light was quietly suspended in the air, like a star in the night sky, emitting a mysterious and charming light.
Xiao Bei slowly approached the crystal...
