Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

Chapter 687: Breaking through the dangerous places: Xiao Bei uses his wisdom

Inside the archway was not the open space as expected, but a dark and deep passage.

The air was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, with a subtle metallic smell.

Strange runes were carved on the walls, flashing with a faint green light, wriggling like living creatures, which was creepy.

Xiao Bei and others stepped into the passage cautiously. There were smooth stone slabs under their feet, and each step made a slight echo, which was particularly clear in the silent passage.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the faint sounds of their breathing and heartbeats intertwined together. The tense atmosphere enveloped them like a thick fog.

Bei Li tightly grasped the corner of Xiao Bei's clothes, and her fingertips turned slightly white.

"Be careful," Xiao Bei warned in a low voice, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, "There's something strange going on everywhere here."

On the walls on both sides of the passage, there are densely packed holes of various shapes, like the mouths of beasts ready to devour people.

Xiao Bei tried to find a way to crack the mechanism, but found that these mechanisms did not exist independently, but were interconnected and extremely complex.

His wisdom was greatly challenged, his brows were furrowed, and repressed emotions grew in his heart.

Mo Yuan was also lost in thought, his fingers gently stroking the runes on the wall with a serious expression.

He was well versed in runes, but he had never seen such an intricate and complex combination of mechanisms.

"These runes..." Mo Yuan pondered for a moment and spoke slowly, "They seem to be some kind of ancient restriction, containing powerful energy."

Lingfeng drew out his sword, the sword body made a crisp buzzing sound, and he watched the movements around him vigilantly.

His keen intuition told him that there was a huge danger lurking here.

Suddenly, Xiao Bei's gaze stopped on a stone slab at the end of the passage.

That slate was slightly different from the others, with a complex pattern carved into it, like some kind of keyhole.

"Maybe..." Xiao Bei"

He was about to go forward to take a closer look when Mo Yuan suddenly reached out to stop him.

"Wait..." Mo Yuan's voice was low and urgent. "Look..." He pointed to the top of the passage, where a silver thread as thin as a hair was slowly descending...

The silver thread fell silently, getting faster and faster, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, pointing directly at Beili.

Beili screamed and subconsciously took a step back, but accidentally stepped on a loose stone slab.

With a light "click" sound, the stone slab sank, and a dazzling red laser shot out from the hole in the wall and headed straight for Beili.

In a flash, Xiao Bei pushed Bei Li away, but he himself took the blow.

The laser streaked across his arm, leaving a wound deep enough to see the bone. Blood instantly gushed out, staining his clothes red.

"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li screamed and rushed to Xiao Bei, tears streaming down her face.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..." Her voice trembled, full of self-blame and guilt.

Xiao Bei groaned, his face turned pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, reached out and gently stroked Beili's hair, "I'm fine..."

A depressing atmosphere enveloped everyone. Lingfeng clenched his fists and angrily punched the wall, making a muffled sound.

He was worried about Xiao Bei's injuries, and felt helpless about Bei Li's recklessness.

Xiao Bei looked down at the wound on his arm, his eyes unusually calm.

He ignored the pain and instead carefully observed the trajectory and angle of the laser, as well as the position of the stone slab that triggered the mechanism.

"Xiao Bei, what are you doing?" Mo Yuan asked in confusion.

"I'm thinking..." Xiao Bei said slowly, with a hint of certainty in his tone, "Maybe we have been going in the wrong direction all along."

"What do you mean?" Ling Feng asked doubtfully.

"These mechanisms are not designed to stop us, but to guide us." Xiao Bei pointed at the holes in the wall. "Instead of trying to crack the mechanism, it's better to follow its lead."

Mo Yuan

Xiao Bei ignored Mo Yuan's praise. He stood up with the help of the wall, his eyes fixed on the stone slab at the end of the passage. "If I'm not mistaken, the real entrance is there."

He took a step forward, following the trajectory of the laser, and walked towards the end of the passage step by step.

Every step is like walking on the edge of a knife, and the slightest carelessness will trigger a new mechanism.

However, Xiao Bei's steps were extremely firm, as if everything was under his control.

The stone slab at the end of the passage was getting closer and closer. Xiao Bei reached out and gently touched the pattern on the stone slab...

"Wait!" A cold voice suddenly came from the darkness, "You shouldn't be here..."

A cold voice echoed in the passage, and a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

He was short, with a sinister face, dressed in a black robe, holding a strange metal staff in his hand, the top of which was inlaid with a gem that shone with a faint green light.

It was the master of mechanisms, Ying Hong.

"You intruders have disturbed my peace, so compensate with your lives!" Ying Hong smiled sinisterly and waved the metal staff in his hand. The holes in the mechanisms on both sides of the passage suddenly spewed out a large amount of poisonous gas, which filled the air and emitted a pungent fishy smell.

Xiao Bei and others held their breath and retreated quickly.

Lingfeng swung his sword, and the sword energy spread everywhere, dispelling the poisonous gas.

However, the poisonous gas continued to spew out and soon filled the entire passage.

"Cough cough..." Beili couldn't help coughing a few times, and his face turned pale.

Seeing this, Xiao Bei immediately protected her behind him, while vigilantly observing Ying Hong's actions.

Yinghong sneered and swung the metal staff again.

This time, countless sharp darts shot out from the top of the passage, pouring down like a rainstorm.

Xiao Bei and others dodged left and right, and were in danger all around.

"Damn it!" Lingfeng roared, and the sword in his hand turned into streams of light, knocking down the darts.

However, there were too many darts to defend against.

At this moment, Xiao Bei suddenly noticed that every time Ying Hong swung the metal staff, the gem on the top of the staff would flash.

His heart moved, and a bold idea came to his mind.

"Lingfeng, cover me!" Xiao Bei shouted, then rushed towards Yinghong desperately.

Lingfeng understood what he meant and swung the sword in his hand so tightly that it blocked all attacks.

Xiao Bei took the opportunity to rush in front of Ying Hong, condensed a powerful immortal power in his hand, and hit the metal staff in Ying Hong's hand directly.

With a loud "bang", the metal staff was knocked away, and the gem on the top of the staff fell off and landed on the ground with a crisp sound.

The moment the gem fell to the ground, all the mechanisms in the passage stopped working and the poisonous gas dissipated.

Ying Hong's face changed drastically, and he looked at Xiao Bei in horror, "You...you actually..."

Xiao Bei ignored Ying Hong's fear. He picked up the gem on the ground and carefully observed the patterns on it.

Suddenly, he discovered that the patterns on the gem were exactly the same as the patterns on the stone slab at the end of the passage.

"I see..." Xiao Bei smiled and embedded the gem into the pattern on the stone slab.

The stone slab slowly sank, revealing a hidden passage.

Inside the passage, a dazzling light flashed...

"It seems that we have found the real entrance." Xiao Bei turned to look at Bei Li, his eyes full of tenderness.

Beili bandaged the wound on his arm with heartache. Lingfeng watched them quietly from the side, feeling mixed emotions.

What secrets are hidden deep in the passage?

Xiao Bei and others are about to step into a new and unknown territory...

"Wait," Mo Yuan suddenly said, his eyes fixed on the newly appeared passage beneath the stone slab, "This light..."

Before Mo Yuan finished speaking, the light at the end of the passage suddenly became blazing, as if some huge energy was surging.

Xiao Bei and others were shocked by the sudden light for a moment. They opened their eyes wide and stared at the light intently.

"This light... seems to be an extremely powerful energy barrier." Mo Yuan frowned, his tone solemn, "We must proceed with caution."

Yinghong's face turned even paler when he saw this.

His hands trembled as he tried to pick up the metal staff from the ground, but he couldn't keep his balance due to anger and fear.

He gnashed his teeth and stared at Xiao Bei fiercely, "You intruders, even if you break my mechanism, you won't be able to pass through this barrier easily!"

Xiao Bei smiled coldly, his eyes revealing determination and confidence.

He turned to look at Ling Feng and Mo Yuan and said in a deep voice, "We can't stand still here. We must find a way to break through the barrier as soon as possible."

Lingfeng nodded, and the sword in his hand emitted a faint golden light. He was obviously ready for battle.

Although Bei Li was still frightened, she still held Xiao Bei's hand tightly and said with all her courage: "Xiao Bei, no matter what lies ahead, I will face it with you."

Yinghong became more and more panicked when he saw the three people united.

He roared in despair and swung the metal staff in his hand again, trying to trigger a new mechanism.

However, his efforts were ineffective as the system was already in disarray.

"Ahem..." Ying Hong gasped, sweat dripping from his forehead. His eyes were filled with fear and unwillingness. "You...you won...but you will never be able to pass this barrier!"

Xiao Beiying moved forward step by step, each step carried with unshakable determination.

He stretched out his hand towards the barrier of light, but when his fingers were about to touch it, he suddenly stopped and his eyes became deep.

"Beili," Xiao Bei whispered with a hint of tenderness in his voice, "no matter what happens, don't let go." Beili nodded firmly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she clenched her hands even tighter.

Ling Feng and Mo Yuan followed closely behind, and the four of them stood in a row, facing the barrier that was flashing with dazzling light.

"Are you ready?" Xiao Bei's voice echoed in the silent passage, full of determination and courage.

Beili, Lingfeng, and Mo Yuan responded in unison: "We're ready!"

Xiao Bei took a deep breath, raised his hand, and pressed it down resolutely...
