A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

The silver light in the cave suddenly twisted into a vortex, and the jade pendant in Jiang Ye's palm emitted a buzzing sound.

Ye Shuli tucked the star map scroll into the animal skin pouch at her waist, her fingertips touching the cool, lightning-patterned blade hilt—a trophy they had dug up last month while shaving ice at Listening Snow Cliff.

"My two young friends." A man draped in a starlight cloak emerged from the moonlight, his boots stained with phoenix petals unrelated to the season. "How about exchanging three drops of your heart's blood for extraterrestrial meteorite iron?"

Jiang Ye stepped half a step forward to block Ye Shuli, the twelve bronze bells at his waist jingling.

The fallen stalactites suddenly floated in mid-air, forming a broken defensive array—the "Improved Version of the Nine-Square Grid Spiritual Power Barrier" that Ye Shuli had deduced using calculus three days ago.

“Repairing the rift in the continent requires something from beyond the boundary.” Ye Shuli pressed down on Jiang Ye’s trembling wrist, the birthmark burning beneath the animal hide bracers. “But I need to inspect the goods first.”

The mysterious visitor flicked his finger and shot out three silver rays.

Ye Shuli caught it with a flick of her wrist; in her palm lay three metal pieces engraved with the Riemann Hypothesis.

Her pupils contracted slightly—this was the topological model she had seen in the research institute before her transmigration, its edges still bearing the lingering fluctuations of multidimensional space.

"Before the tide recedes tomorrow morning," the formula on the rock wall suddenly transformed into a dynamic topological diagram before the mysterious visitor vanished in phosphorescence. "Remember, the cursed island devours liars."

Jiang Ye used the lightning-patterned blade to cut off two mycelium strands, and pale blue liquid seeped from the cut surfaces.

Ye Shuli dipped the liquid into the rock painting and drew the structure of a Klein bottle. The previously stagnant starlight suddenly poured into Jiang Ye's dantian—the bottleneck of his early-stage spiritual mastery, which had been stuck for three months, cracked.

As the stench hit her, Ye Shuli was using a meteorite fragment to calibrate the star chart.

The first cursed creature emerged from a crack in the reef, its eight spider legs covered in semi-solidified resentment.

She spun around, her lightning-patterned blade grazing the monster's compound eyes, the spiritual energy ripples from the blade drawing Fibonacci spirals on the beach.

"Right forelimb joint, 0.618!" Jiang Ye swung out bronze bells to form a trapping formation.

Ye Shuli used the rock wall to turn back, and the starlight gathered on the soles of her boots exploded at the monster's golden ratio point—this was the resonance frequency they discovered when studying the spiritual energy circuit in the cave.

The cursed creature collapsed to the ground with a thud, black entropy-increasing substance seeping from the cracks in its carapace.

Ye Shuli caught a drop with a piece of meteorite iron, and a three-dimensional map of the island immediately appeared on the surface of the liquid.

Jiang Ye suddenly pulled her to the left, and the sand grains that were standing there were being dragged into the Klein bottle-shaped vortex by some force.

Twenty meters away, countless scarlet lights illuminated the sea cave, and low-frequency vibrations emanated from the rock strata.

Ye Shuli embedded three meteorite fragments into the star map scroll, and the oracle bone script on the edge of the scroll suddenly transformed into a three-dimensional coordinate system.

She stared at the constantly collapsing spiritual energy parameters, then suddenly plunged the lightning-patterned blade into the monster's corpse, which was experiencing increasing entropy—

The instant the rotting flesh froze, all the scarlet points of light simultaneously turned in this direction.

Jiang Ye flipped his wrist, and the bronze bell wove into a net of spiritual energy amidst the stench.

Ye Shuli's animal-hide boots crushed the phosphorus powder in the crevices of the reef, and the black entropy-increasing matter was spreading along the Fibonacci spiral trajectory—the "Non-Euclidean Geometry Spiritual Field Theory" that she had deduced in the cave three days ago suddenly flashed through her mind.

"A 360-degree, no-dead-angle encirclement." Jiang Ye's rant was shattered by the monster's shriek, and cracks appeared in the trapping array composed of twelve bronze bells.

Ye Shuli's birthmark suddenly became alarmingly hot. She glimpsed the reflection of the Klein bottle structure on the surface of the meteorite fragment—a device used in the laboratory before her transmigration to imprison high-energy particles.

The sound of the cursed creature's shell scraping together suddenly stopped.

Ye Shuli noticed that when the starlight passed through the pale blue sap secreted by the mycelium, the eight-legged monsters would collectively take a half step back.

She plunged the lightning-patterned blade into the sand, where entropy was increasing. The spiritual energy contained within the blade stirred up the liquid, causing it to splash—in an instant, millions of suspended pale blue liquid droplets refracted twelve layers of light.

"Close your eyes!"

As Ye Shuli roared, she activated the spiritual power in her dantian, and the star map scroll in the animal skin bag automatically unfolded.

The three-dimensional coordinate system on the scroll, transformed from oracle bone script, suddenly collapsed into a singularity, and the accumulated psionic energy exploded after being amplified by the Klein bottle structure.

A blinding light, comparable in brightness to a white dwarf, engulfed the entire beach, and the cursed creature's carapace emitted blue smoke within the light.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Ye threw out a bronze bell to complete the trapping formation, and the retreating monsters were scorched by the light spots, creating honeycomb-like holes.

Ye Shuli picked up the still-hot meteorite fragment and discovered that the Riemann Hypothesis engraved on its surface was automatically completing—this was a multi-dimensional space locator left by a mysterious visitor.

“There is a spiritual energy vacuum zone three kilometers to the southeast.” She pulled Jiang Ye onto the reef, and the lightning-patterned blade severed the mycelium that was trying to climb.

The cursed creatures, scorched by the intense light, lingered in the shallows, but dared not step into the area shrouded by the starlight.

While crossing the mangrove forest, Jiang Ye suddenly grabbed Ye Shuli's animal skin wristband.

An unnatural purple light flickered among the rotting branches and leaves—it was the same spiritual energy pattern of the modified version of the "Nine Nether Dragon Trapping Formation" that I had seen three days ago at Tingxue Cliff.

Ye Shuli used a piece of meteorite iron to slice through the air, and the multi-dimensional spatial fluctuations revealed that a Klein bottle-shaped trap was hidden on the ground ten meters ahead.

“There’s a turbulent flow of spiritual energy at a 30-degree angle to the southeast.” She deliberately raised her voice, “It seems someone has only scratched the surface of ‘Non-Euclidean Geometry Spiritual Energy Field Theory.’”

The sound of a branch snapping came from the darkness.

The other cultivator leaders appeared with five subordinates, each with seven jade pendants engraved with chaotic algorithms hanging from their waists.

Ye Shuli noticed that the soles of the other person's boots were covered with the same phoenix petals—the same kind of exotic, out-of-season petals that had fallen from the mysterious visitor last night.

The battle erupted when Jiang Ye threw out the third bronze bell.

Ye Shuli leaned against the trunk of the mangrove tree, her lightning-patterned blade precisely piercing the spiritual energy node three inches from the attacker's dantian.

Jiang Ye's wolfhound teeth shattered the attacker's communication talisman, but as he turned around, he was struck on the left shoulder by the aftershock of spiritual energy—the same spot where he had sustained an old injury in the cave three days ago.

Ye Shuli's pupils suddenly contracted.

The star map scroll automatically attracted three meteorite fragments, and the oracle bone script on the edge of the scroll suddenly transformed into an attack array in the shape of a Klein bottle.

The immense spiritual energy, carrying fragments of multidimensional space, blasted the attacker into an entropy-increasing vortex twenty meters away.

"careful!"

Jiang Ye's warning arrived at the same time as the sound of something cutting through the air.

Ye Shuli spun around to avoid the poison dart, only to find the Spirit Pearl Sensor standing on a reef a hundred meters away.

The man's pale fingertips held half a phoenix petal, and the surface of the petal displayed the same Riemann Hypothesis formula as the meteorite fragment—the very topological model that the mysterious visitor had shown him the previous night.

The sea breeze suddenly carried a sweet, pungent smell of blood.

Ye Shuli's birthmark began to burn irregularly, and the three-dimensional coordinate system on the star map scroll suddenly pointed to the ground.

Just as she was about to speak, a low-frequency vibration suddenly emanated from the entire island—the cursed creatures that had been driven back by the intense light were now surging towards the center of the battle from all directions.
