Chapter 57: Breaking the maze and winning the glory
Bi Yao turned around suddenly, only to see a dark shadow swooping down from the wall!
She subconsciously swung out a sword energy, and the black shadow dissipated instantly, but the runes on the wall became brighter, and the walls of the maze began to distort.
"This maze... is alive!" Bi Yao exclaimed.
Li Yuan's voice came from below: "Yaoyao, I think I found some clues!"
Bi Yao hurried to the edge of the pit and saw Li Yuan standing on a platform with a stone plate engraved with runes in the center.
"This stone plate... seems to be a mechanism." Li Yuan carefully observed the runes on the stone plate. "I think as long as we can unlock this mechanism, we can find a way out."
"Yuan, be careful!" Bi Yao warned.
Li Yuan nodded and began to try to decipher the runes on the stone plate.
As he continued to try, the runes on the stone disk began to glow, and the walls of the maze stopped twisting and deforming.
"It's done!" Li Yuan shouted excitedly.
At this moment, the stone plate suddenly emitted a dazzling light, enveloping Li Yuan and Bi Yao.
When the light faded, they found themselves standing at the exit of the maze.
"We're out!" Li Yuan cheered.
"Wait," Bi Yao suddenly grabbed Li Yuan, "Look!"
At the exit of the maze stood a huge stone door, engraved with a few ancient words: "Destroy and then rebuild, only then can we find the beginning and the end."
Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other and saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.
Bi Yao reached out and gently touched the words on the stone door...
"This feeling..." Bi Yao withdrew his hand and murmured.
Bi Yao withdrew her hand from the stone door, and a strange energy wave flowed through her fingertips, making her feel numb.
"It feels... like an electric current?" she blurted out automatically, then realized she had let the cat out of the bag.
Fortunately, Li Yuan was immersed in the joy of victory and did not notice her abnormality.
"Yaoyao, we're finally out! This shabby maze has finally shown me what 'the winding road' is like!" Li Yuan said excitedly. As usual, he wanted to put his arm around Bi Yao's shoulders, but he retracted his hand the moment he touched her sleeve and scratched his head. "Hehe, I almost forgot, men and women shouldn't touch each other."
Bi Yao rolled her eyes at him. "Now you know that 'men and women shouldn't touch each other'? You weren't so well behaved when you were fighting the monster just now."
Li Yuan chuckled, "It's an emergency! Besides, those monsters are so ugly, I don't want to have any 'close contact' with them!"
Just as the two were teasing each other, the runes on the maze wall suddenly lit up again, the light was stronger than before, and the entire maze began to vibrate violently.
"What's going on?" Li Yuan exclaimed.
Bi Yao suddenly calmed down. She keenly realized that the vibration was not without pattern.
She closed her eyes, carefully felt the frequency of the vibration, and the overall structure of the maze emerged in her mind.
A typical person might try to use brute force to break through the maze walls to find a way out.
But Bi Yao calmed down and used logical reasoning based on modern knowledge to begin analyzing the changing patterns of light on the maze walls.
Suddenly, some monsters formed by dark forces appeared in the maze.
These monsters were huge in size and incredibly powerful. They rushed towards Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
Li Yuan rushed to the front, using the newly acquired key to enhance the power of magic and fight with the monster.
The monster's attack was so fierce that Li Yuan was unable to withstand it.
Bi Yao was observing the monster's attack pattern from the side. She found that there was a brief pause after each attack.
The surrounding maze walls were crumbling from being hit by monsters.
"Yuan! There is a pause in their attacks! Once every three breaths!" Bi Yao shouted.
Li Yuan wiped the sweat from his face and clenched his teeth, "Three breaths... I get it!"
At this moment, the maze began to shake more violently, and rocks above the head began to fall.
Bi Yao looked up and his eyes fell on the huge stone door.
"Destroy and then rebuild..." She repeated these four words in a low voice. Suddenly, she grabbed Li Yuan's hand and said, "Follow me!"
Bi Yao pulled Li Yuan and walked quickly through the maze like a flash of lightning.
She did not run around randomly, but based on the changes in vibration frequency, she determined the movement patterns of the maze walls and found a way to survive in the gaps.
"Yaoyao, you...how do you know which way to go?" Li Yuan asked breathlessly, feeling like he was playing a real-life version of "Snake".
"A secret." Bi Yao smiled mysteriously, "The mountain people have their own clever plan." Her plan was not a clever one, but relying on modern people's spatial imagination and logical reasoning ability, she turned this ancient maze into a "pushing box" game.
They followed Bi Yao's instructions, dodging falling rocks and ever-changing walls, and arrived at the center of the maze at the critical moment.
There was a huge crystal ball standing in the center, emitting dazzling light, and the spiritual energy around it was so rich that it almost condensed into substance.
"Oh my god! Could this be the legendary 'Spirit Gathering Pearl'?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, like a rabbit seeing a carrot.
"Spirit Gathering Pearl?" Bi Yao raised her eyebrows. "It sounds very powerful." Although she didn't know much about the treasures in the world of immortal cultivation, based on her experience in her previous life, these shiny things were usually good things.
At this moment, the remaining dark power of the monster they had defeated before began to condense again, forming an even larger black vortex that swept towards them.
"Oh my god, what's going on? Infinite resurrection plug-in?" Li Yuan exclaimed.
"Calm down!" Bi Yao grabbed Li Yuan's hand and divided the pill they had obtained earlier into two portions. "Eat it, and then inject the power into the Spirit Gathering Pearl!"
The two swallowed the pill without hesitation, and a powerful energy instantly flowed through their bodies.
They stretched out their palms together and injected surging spiritual power into the crystal ball.
The Spirit Gathering Pearl shone brightly, illuminating the entire maze like daylight.
The black vortex was crushed by this powerful force and disappeared without a trace.
"It's done!" Li Yuan waved his fist excitedly, feeling full of strength, as if he could blow up a mountain with one punch.
Bi Yao also smiled slightly, thinking to himself: He is worthy of the aura of the protagonist. The speed of his turnaround is even faster than riding a rocket.
Everything around was shining with the light of victory, and the walls of the maze stopped moving, as if welcoming the new master.
Li Yuan looked at Bi Yao, his eyes full of admiration and worship: "Yaoyao, you are so amazing!"
Bi Yao smiled faintly and was about to speak when suddenly, the light of the Spirit Gathering Pearl began to flicker and emit a buzzing sound...
"Wait," Bi Yao raised her hand to stop Li Yuan's praise, "It seems... something is wrong." The light of the Spirit Gathering Pearl flickered and buzzed, like a disco ball about to explode.
The surrounding spiritual energy also became restless, rolling like boiling water.
"What's going on? Is this thing going to explode?" Li Yuan swallowed nervously and subconsciously took a step back, not forgetting to hold Bi Yao's hand, fearing that she would be blown away.
Bi Yao frowned slightly and carefully observed the changes in the Spirit Gathering Pearl.
She keenly realized that this was not a sign of an explosion, but more like a...
signal?
Suddenly, the Spirit Gathering Pearl shot out a dazzling beam of light, which shot straight into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
Immediately afterwards, a weak energy wave emanated from the Spirit Gathering Pearl, like an invisible hand, pointing into the distance.
"Oh my god! What's going on? Could it be the luxurious upgraded version of the legendary 'guiding light'?" Li Yuan widened his eyes, feeling like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, dazzled by the overwhelming sight.
Bi Yao closed his eyes and felt the direction of the energy fluctuations.
“This energy…” She slowly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them, “It seems to be guiding us somewhere.”
"Where are we going?" Li Yuan asked curiously.
Bi Yao shook her head: "I don't know. But the feeling... is very important." She looked up in the direction of the energy fluctuation. There was mist there, and it was unclear what was real or fake. It seemed as if some huge secret was hidden there.
"Let's go! Let's go and take a look!" Li Yuan rubbed his hands excitedly, looking eager to try.
Adventure is the most exciting thing!
Bi Yao smiled slightly and held Li Yuan's hand tightly: "Let's go." The two smiled at each other and took firm steps towards the unknown direction.
Just as their figures disappeared, the light of the Spirit Gathering Pearl gradually dimmed, as if it had completed its mission.
However, just as the last ray of light was about to dissipate, another, even weaker signal shot out in another direction at a speed barely perceptible to the naked eye...
The direction the signal pointed to was the source of the remaining dark power of the monster they had defeated before...
