Chapter 160 Entering the core trap of the ancient formation, Xiao Bei breaks through and moves towar
When Xiao Bei stepped into the formation, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. It was no longer the ancient stone walls and passages as before, but was replaced by a brilliant starry sky, as if he was in the universe.
"Oh my god, this special effect is not worth even 50 cents!" Xiao Bei complained. The scene transition was too abrupt, it was simply a PPT-level switch.
But before he had time to appreciate this "cheap" starry sky, a powerful pressure came on him, as if the entire space was squeezing him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"Oh my god, this feeling of oppression is even more terrifying than my mother forcing me to get married!" Xiao Bei gritted his teeth. The pressure was much stronger than he had imagined, making him feel like his bones were about to be crushed.
"Here I come, brother!" The ground suddenly cracked, and countless spikes popped up like bamboo shoots after a rain, stabbing towards Xiao Bei.
"I'll hide!" Xiao Bei was agile and dodged the attack of the spikes as nimbly as a loach. However, just as he was dodging the spikes, the mechanism above his head was triggered, and huge stones fell from the sky.
"Oh my god, this is too tricky!" Xiao Bei complained about the insidiousness of this ancient formation while dodging the falling rocks.
At this critical moment, the spirit bead in Xiao Bei's dantian suddenly emitted a warm light, forming a protective shield to protect him.
"Hehe, I have to rely on the golden finger at the critical moment!" Xiao Bei was secretly happy. With the protection of the spirit pearl, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, this is just the beginning.
After dodging the falling rocks and spikes, Xiao Bei didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief before the space around him suddenly twisted, forming vortices that sucked him in.
"Oh my god, what the hell is this?" Xiao Bei felt himself being pulled by a powerful force and was involuntarily drawn into the vortex.
He felt as if he were in a washing machine, being spun madly, dizzy and nauseous.
"Oh my god, this is too exciting!" Xiao Bei endured the discomfort and tried to stay awake.
After an unknown amount of time, the rotation finally stopped. Xiao Bei fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.
"Ouch, my old waist!" He struggled to get up, looked around, and found himself in an unfamiliar space.
This space is empty and silent, with only a towering stone tablet standing in the center. The stone tablet is engraved with dense words, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
"This is..." Xiao Bei looked at the words on the stone tablet with a frown. He felt as if he had seen these words somewhere, but he couldn't remember where.
"Brother Bei, are you okay?" At this moment, Bei Li's voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Bei's mind.
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy." Xiao Bei rubbed his still spinning head and replied.
"How's the situation over there?" he asked quickly. Beili was in charge of collecting intelligence outside and might be able to give him some clues.
"It's not good, I found..." Beili's tone was solemn, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of noise.
"What's going on?" Xiao Bei's heart tightened and he asked hurriedly.
"It seems like someone is coming..." Beili's voice stopped abruptly.
"Someone? Who is it?" Xiao Bei looked around vigilantly, secretly gathering spiritual power in his hands.
He didn't use brute force or magic to destroy the mechanism as usual...
He narrowed his eyes, stared at the stone tablet, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting..." Xiao Bei did not roll up his sleeves and start working directly as usual. Instead, he touched his chin, paced around the stone tablet, and muttered to himself: "This thing looks familiar... Does it look like the weird talismans drawn by Xiaoxing?" He squinted his eyes, trying hard to recall the formation knowledge that Xiaoxing had taught him. Those tadpole-like symbols were running around in his mind.
"The center of the formation... the center of the formation... where is it?"
The system popped up at the right moment: "Ding! Hidden weak point detected. Do you want to check?"
"Nonsense! Hurry up!" Xiao Bei was secretly happy in his heart. This system was quite reliable at critical moments.
A flickering light appeared on the system interface, marked on the back of the stone tablet, in an inconspicuous small groove.
"Wow, it's hidden really deep!" Xiao Bei raised his lips to smile evilly, walked around to the back of the stone tablet, and carefully observed the groove.
The groove was only the size of a thumb and seemed to be filled with some black substance.
"This thing looks like..." Xiao Bei stretched out his finger and gently touched the black substance. A cold breath instantly spread throughout his body.
"Oh my god! Is this something weird?" He suddenly retracted his finger with a look of disgust.
The system prompted again: "Ding! This substance has been detected as 'Essence of Yin Sha', which can be used to refine high-level elixirs. Do you want to collect it?"
"Pills? Hehe, it would be a waste if I didn't take it!" Xiao Bei immediately changed his mind, took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, and carefully collected the Yin Sha Essence.
"This is a good thing. Let Xiaoxing study it later. Maybe we can make some magic pills out of it!"
After collecting the Yin Sha Essence, Xiao Bei observed the groove again and found a tiny rune engraved at the bottom of the groove.
"This... this seems to be... the eye of the formation?!" He was shocked and finally found the key to the formation.
"Brother Bei, how are things going over there?" Bei Li's voice sounded again, with a hint of anxiety.
"Don't worry, I seem to have found a way to break the formation." Xiao Bei said in a relaxed tone, full of confidence.
"Really? That's great! But... the situation here is not good..." Beili's voice became lower and lower, as if something was approaching.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Xiao Bei's heart tightened, and he had a premonition that something was not going well.
"I...I saw..." Beili's voice stopped abruptly, replaced by a shrill scream.
"Beili!" Xiao Bei's face changed drastically. He suddenly looked up at the runes on the stone tablet, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Never mind, let's break the formation first!" He poured spiritual power into his fingertips and pressed down hard on the rune...
"Stop!" An angry voice suddenly sounded.
Spiritual power surged at Xiao Bei's fingertips, and he pressed hard on the rune.
With a crisp "crack" sound, the stone tablet shook violently, and the surrounding starry sky was distorted and shattered.
"Oh my god, this special effect has been upgraded? It's worth at least one dollar and fifty cents!" Xiao Bei complained, but his hands kept moving and continued to output spiritual power.
The runes on the stone tablet gradually dimmed, and the spikes and falling rocks stopped attacking, as if time had stopped.
"Done!" Xiao Bei clapped his hands, looking relaxed.
At this moment, a crack appeared on the stone tablet, and a fragment emitting a bright light slowly floated out from the crack.
"Oh my god, could this be the legendary... opportunity?!" Xiao Bei's eyes lit up and he reached out to take the fragment. A stream of pure spiritual power instantly surged into his body, making him feel refreshed.
"Hey, I made a lot of money this time!"
"Boy, hand over the fragments!" A cold voice suddenly sounded.
Xiao Bei turned around and saw that Brother Luo had appeared from nowhere, staring at the fragments in his hand with greed.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Luo? What, are you also interested in this broken stone?" Xiao Bei shook the fragment in his hand with a provocative look on his face.
"Stop talking nonsense! Hand it over and I'll spare your life!" Brother Luo was so angry that he summoned a flying sword and stabbed it straight into Xiao Bei's face.
"Oh my god, are you serious?" Xiao Bei dodged the flying sword sideways, condensed a ball of fire in his hand, and threw it towards Monk Luo.
"Taste my 'Samadhi True Fire'!"
Brother Luo quickly raised a shield to block it, but the flames were like maggots attached to his bones, clinging tightly to the shield and burning continuously.
"Damn it!" Monk Luo cursed inwardly, quickly retracted his shield, and summoned his flying sword again. This time, the flying sword turned into countless sword shadows, surrounding Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei dodged left and right, and was a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Oh my god, this old guy is really good!" He dodged the sword shadows while secretly mobilizing his spiritual power.
Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his hands formed a strange mark.
"Look at my 'Galaxy Rewind'!"
A huge vortex appeared out of nowhere, sucking in all the surrounding sword shadows, then suddenly bounced back and swept towards Monk Luo.
"Wow, this move is pretty cool!" Xiao Bei looked at Monk Luo who was hit by the spell he had just learned, and nodded with satisfaction.
Brother Luo was hit by the vortex, flew backwards, fell heavily to the ground, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"You...what kind of witchcraft is this?!" He struggled to get up, his eyes full of horror.
Xiao Bei dusted himself off and walked towards Monk Luo step by step, with an evil smile on his lips.
"Want to know? Maybe in the next life!" He slowly raised his right hand...
Xiao Bei raised his right hand high, about to deliver a fatal blow to Brother Luo, when suddenly, a warm current surged into his heart, accompanied by a familiar voice: "Brother Bei, come on! I believe in you!"
It’s Beili!
This warm current not only brought strength, but also filled Xiao Bei's heart with tenderness.
He took a deep breath, dissipated the spiritual power in his hand, turned to look at Brother Luo, and said calmly: "I will let you go today, but if you dare to provoke me next time, I will make you regret it!"
Monk Luo covered his chest and fled in a panic, disappearing into the depths of the ancient formation.
Xiao Bei put away his cynical attitude and his eyes became firm.
Beili's encouragement gave him great motivation. He had to find the exit of the formation as soon as possible and meet up with her.
He continued to go deeper into the core of the ancient formation, and the surrounding scene changed again. It was no longer a brilliant starry sky, but a foggy and chaotic space.
"Oh my god, what the hell is this? Are you kidding me?" Xiao Bei complained and walked forward cautiously, afraid of triggering some strange mechanism again.
After walking for a long time, the fog gradually dissipated, and a huge light gate appeared in front of Xiao Bei.
The light gate emitted a dazzling light and was surrounded by powerful energy fluctuations, like a huge vortex, attracting everything around it.
"Oh my god, could this be... the exit?" Xiao Bei was delighted and walked quickly towards the light gate.
"Brother Bei, be careful!" Bei Li's voice sounded again, with a hint of anxiety.
Xiao Bei's heart trembled, and he immediately stopped and looked around vigilantly.
"What's wrong? Is there any danger?"
"I feel...that light gate...is very dangerous..." Beili's voice was intermittent, as if it was disturbed by something.
Xiao Bei frowned and looked at the light gate carefully, but did not find anything unusual.
Could it be that Beili was too worried?
"It's okay, believe me, I can handle it!" Xiao Bei comforted Bei Li, took a deep breath, and walked towards the light gate again.
This time, he quickened his pace, wanting to pass through the light gate as quickly as possible.
However, just as he was about to touch the light gate, a powerful force suddenly bounced him back.
"Oh my god! What's going on?!" Xiao Bei fell heavily to the ground, feeling like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.
He struggled to get up and looked at the light gate again, his eyes full of confusion.
At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly sounded in the space: "Anyone who trespasses will die!"
