Chapter 192: Exploring the Mystery of the Mysterious Breath, a New and Dangerous Journey Begin
Leaving the celebrating crowd, Bi Yao and Li Yuan headed in the direction of the mysterious aura.
As they went deeper, the surrounding scenery gradually changed. The originally bright sunshine was blocked by the dense woods, and the air was filled with a damp and rotten smell that was nauseating.
The originally clear sound of birdsong disappeared, replaced by a low buzzing sound, like countless insects swarming in the dark.
The light grew dimmer and dimmer, and the shadows of the trees swayed, as if countless pairs of eyes were peeping at them in the darkness.
Bi Yao felt a chill on her back and subconsciously held Li Yuan's hand tightly.
Li Yuan also noticed something strange. He held Bi Yao's hand in return, and a warm spiritual power slowly flowed into her body, dispelling the coldness around her.
"Be careful, this place is a bit weird." Li Yuan's voice was low and solemn, completely different from his usual talkative image.
As they continued forward, the trees around them grew denser and denser, their branches and leaves intertwined, blocking out almost all the light.
There are thick fallen leaves under my feet, which make a rustling sound when I step on them. The sound is particularly clear in this quiet environment.
The smell of corruption in the air became stronger and stronger, making Bi Yao feel nauseous.
Suddenly, an open space appeared in front of them. On the open space grew a patch of thorns. The thorns were flashing with a cold light, like a ghost fire, which was creepy.
These thorny branches are thick and twisted, covered with sharp thorns, and exude an unsettling aura.
"What the hell is this thing?" Bi Yao exclaimed in a low voice. She could feel that these thorns contained a powerful energy. If touched, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Li Yuan drew out his sword, and the sword emitted a faint golden light, illuminating the surrounding environment.
He carefully touched the thorns with the tip of his sword, and with a "hiss", the tip of the sword was corroded a little.
"There's something strange about these thorns. Be careful not to get touched." Li Yuan's face was solemn. He protected Bi Yao behind him and walked carefully towards the thorn bush.
They had to slow down and carefully observe the growth patterns of the thorns to find a passable path.
The thorny branches crisscrossed each other, like a natural barrier, blocking them out.
If you are not careful, you will be scratched by the thorns and feel excruciating pain.
Bi Yao's arm accidentally touched a thorn, and she felt a sharp pain, with bright red blood flowing down the wound.
"Hiss..." Bi Yao took a breath of cold air, and felt a burning pain in the wound, as if it was burned by fire.
Seeing this, Li Yuan quickly used his spiritual power to heal her wounds, while at the same time vigilantly observing the surrounding environment, fearing that there was any danger lurking in the dark.
Bi Yao looked at the dense thorns in front of him with a frown.
Suddenly, she had an idea...
"Wait, Li Yuan," Bi Yao said, pointing to the arrangement of the thorns, "Do you feel that..." Bi Yao tapped her fingertips, motioning Li Yuan to come closer, "The growth of these thorns is not random. Look, their bifurcation points vaguely show a spiral pattern, which is a manifestation of the Fibonacci sequence." She spoke in a firm tone, with a glint of wisdom in her eyes.
Li Yuan scratched his head in confusion, not understanding what Bi Yao was talking about, but looking at her confident expression, an inexplicable trust surged in his heart.
He knew that Bi Yao could always bring unexpected surprises.
Bi Yao continued, "According to this rule, we only need to follow a specific path to avoid those dangerous thorns and find a safe passage." As she spoke, she began to carefully guide Li Yuan forward.
They were like elves traveling through a maze. Bi Yao relied on her unique perspective to accurately judge the direction of each step.
Li Yuan followed closely behind, guarding his body with a long sword in his hand, always alert to possible dangers.
The sharp thorns almost grazed their clothes, but never hurt them at all.
The air was filled with a heart-pounding smell of corruption, but at this moment, it could not shake their determination to move forward.
After passing through the thorny area, they found that the scenery in front of them suddenly became clear, as if the clouds had parted and the blue sky was visible.
The suffocating feeling of oppression just now disappeared, replaced by an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
"Bi Yao, you are so amazing!" Li Yuan couldn't help but admire. He knew how amazing Bi Yao was, but at this moment, the wisdom she displayed made him even more amazed.
The corners of Bi Yao's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.
She enjoys the feeling of being recognized and is also proud of her ability to apply modern knowledge to solve the problems at hand.
However, before they could fully enjoy this joy, an ancient formation appeared before their eyes.
The formation is composed of countless shimmering runes, emitting a mysterious and powerful energy.
"This formation is quite interesting." Bi Yao looked at the formation in front of her with great interest. She was eager to try and wanted to use her knowledge of modern mathematics and logic to crack it.
"I remember my master taught me that this kind of ancient formation requires spiritual power..." Li Yuan was about to start to dismantle the formation when he was interrupted by Bi Yao.
"Wait, Li Yuan," Bi Yao frowned, her tone a little serious, "the methods you mentioned are too complicated. I have a more direct solution." She pointed at the runes on the formation and began to analyze them incessantly.
Li Yuan was stunned. He felt that Bi Yao's theories sounded reasonable, but they were too mysterious for him to accept.
He insisted that the formation should be solved in the traditional way of immortal heroes.
"I think it's safer to follow what the master taught me. I always feel that your method is a little..." Li Yuan tried to persuade Bi Yao, but Bi Yao refused to give in.
The two men each insisted on their own opinion and neither was willing to give in.
The atmosphere in the air gradually became tense, like a taut string that could break at any time.
Suddenly, Bi Yao pointed to an inconspicuous corner in the formation.
Bi Yao's gaze was fixed on the corner of the formation, where a tiny rune was out of tune with the overall smooth lines, as if it was a carefully designed flaw.
"Li Yuan, look here!" She tapped her fingertips, motioning Li Yuan to come closer.
Li Yuan approached suspiciously and examined the rune carefully, but he couldn't see anything special. "Is there anything special about it?"
Bi Yao raised her lips to a confident smile, "This rune may seem random, but it actually corresponds to a concept in modern mathematics - 'singularity'." She began to explain it incessantly, combining the knowledge of modern mathematics to analyze the composition principles of the formation.
Li Yuan was confused by what he heard, but when he saw the light flashing in Bi Yao's eyes, an inexplicable trust surged in his heart.
Although he didn't understand, he felt that what Bi Yao said seemed to make sense.
"So what are you going to do?" he asked.
"It's very simple. Find the singularity and use spiritual power to detonate it, and you can break the formation." Bi Yao said in a relaxed tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched the strange rune, slowly injecting a gentle spiritual power into it.
In an instant, the entire formation burst into dazzling light, and countless runes, like activated stars, spun rapidly in the air, making a deafening roar.
The air around them also became hot, as if it was going to swallow everything up.
Li Yuan was stunned. He had never seen such a mysterious way to break the formation. It completely overturned his understanding of cultivating immortals.
"Bi Yao, you are really..." He wanted to say something excitedly, but was speechless for a moment and couldn't find the right words to describe his feelings at the moment.
"Okay, the formation is broken." Bi Yao clapped his hands, as if he had done something insignificant. His relaxed tone made Li Yuan even more surprised.
At this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake, and a cold energy surged out from underground.
Countless black shadows emerged from the ground, twisting their bodies and screaming hoarsely, like evil spirits from hell.
Shadow creatures are creatures composed of pure negative energy. They move swiftly, attack in strange ways, and are hard to defend against.
Li Yuan held a long sword and fought with the shadow creature.
The sword flashed, cutting through the darkness, but it could not cause fatal damage to the shadow creatures.
Bi Yao also joined the battle. The spiritual power in her hands turned into light blades, accurately hitting the shadow creature's vital points, but could only repel it temporarily.
These creatures seem to be immortal and can recover quickly no matter what kind of attack they receive.
The battle became more intense, and the air around became oppressive and suffocating.
The attacks of the shadow creatures became more and more fierce, and Bi Yao and Li Yuan gradually felt overwhelmed.
Just when they were in a state of panic, the mysterious aura suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan were startled and looked around subconsciously, but found nothing. Could it be caused by the formation just now?
"The breath... is gone." Li Yuan frowned, looking at the shadows gradually dissipating around him, his heart full of doubts.
Bi Yao did not answer. She slowly walked to the place where the breath disappeared, squatted down and looked carefully.
Suddenly, she felt something under her feet, a tiny bump.
She placed her hand on the bulge and felt a cool energy seep into her palm.
"Li Yuan, there's something here..." Bi Yao narrowed her eyes and raised her head.
