The fairy love story between Bi Yao and Li Yuan after traveling through time

Chapter 140: The Secret Palace, Exploring the Strange Palace

As the two stepped into the palace, a chill instantly enveloped them.

The hall was dark and damp, and the air was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere that made people shudder.

Bi Yao subconsciously held Li Yuan's hand tightly. Li Yuan shook it back and gave her a reassuring look.

As soon as I stepped in, the floor under my feet made a light "click" sound.

Bi Yao's heart sank, and she thought to herself that something was wrong. Almost at the same time, she pulled Li Yuan and jumped to the side.

The floor opened up with a sound, and countless sharp spikes suddenly shot out from below, flashing with cold light.

If we were a step slower, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Be careful!" Before Li Yuan finished speaking, the runes on the surrounding walls suddenly lit up and shot out laser-like spiritual attacks at an astonishing speed.

The two could only dodge and move in the narrow space to barely avoid the attacks.

"This palace... is full of traps." Bi Yao dodged the attacks while observing the surroundings, trying to find a pattern.

"It seems that we have to be more cautious."

While defending himself from the attacks, Li Yuan didn't forget to show his chatterbox nature: "Yaoyao, do you think the owner of this palace is a hedgehog spirit? Why are there so many thorns? And this laser, I wonder if it consumes a lot of electricity..."

Bi Yao rolled her eyes at him unhappily: "It's already this late, and you still have the mind to joke around!" Having said that, she felt a little relieved because of Li Yuan's jokes.

Suddenly, the ground shook again, and a huge vortex appeared under their feet, with a strong suction force dragging them downwards.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

"Hold on to me!" Li Yuan shouted, hugging Bi Yao's waist tightly, and at the same time summoned his flying sword, trying to resist the powerful suction.

However, the power of the vortex was too strong, and the flying sword made a buzzing sound as if it could not bear the weight, and it was about to collapse.

Bi Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, quickly thinking of a countermeasure in her mind.

"Li Yuan," Bi Yao suddenly said, "Let go."

Li Yuan was stunned and subconsciously tightened his arms: "What did you say?"

"I said, let go." Bi Yao repeated in a firm tone.

Although Li Yuan didn't understand why, he slowly let go of her hand out of trust in Bi Yao.

The moment he let go, Bi Yao quickly took out a special talisman from the storage bag and stuck it hard on the center of the vortex.

The talisman shone with golden light, the vortex's rotation speed gradually slowed down, and the suction force weakened.

Bi Yao took the opportunity to grab Li Yuan's hand, and the two of them landed steadily on the ground.

"Phew, that was a close call." Li Yuan patted his chest in shock. "Yaoyao, what kind of spell did you just use? It's so magical!"

Bi Yao smiled slightly. "This is a new type of spell I developed based on the principles of modern physics and the knowledge of runes from this world. It can disrupt the stability of space, thereby affecting the suction of the vortex."

Li Yuan was confused by what he heard, but he still praised her generously: "Yaoyao, you are so amazing! You are worthy of being my goddess!"

Bi Yao rolled her eyes at him and ignored his flattery, instead starting to carefully observe the surroundings.

She discovered that the attacks of these mechanisms were not random, but were carried out according to an ancient formation rule.

Relying on modern logical thinking and understanding of battle formations, Bi Yao quickly cracked this pattern.

She pulled Li Yuan and moved according to a specific pace and rhythm, cleverly avoiding all attacks and even finding ways to shut down some of the mechanisms.

As the last mechanism was closed, the danger around them was temporarily lifted, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally safe..." Li Yuan was about to say something when suddenly, the entire palace began to shake violently.

A deep voice echoed in the palace: "Who dares to trespass into my territory?"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge stone statue standing deep in the palace.

The stone statue is carved entirely from black rock, exuding an ancient and majestic atmosphere.

It slowly opened its eyes, with red light flashing in them.

"Oh no, it's the guardian spirit!" Bi Yao's face changed, and he immediately realized that the huge stone statue in front of him was the guardian of this palace.

The stone statue waved its huge arms and smashed towards them with overwhelming momentum.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan did not dare to delay. They took out their magic weapons and cast powerful spells to resist.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the stone statue's attack collided with their spells, bursting into dazzling light.

The powerful impact pushed the two men back several steps, and the surrounding stone pillars were shattered, with debris flying everywhere.

The stone statue's attack power was extremely powerful, and every impact made their defense shaky.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood back to back, resisting the attack of the stone statue, their eyes full of solemnity.

"Li Yuan..." Bi Yao suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

"Hold my hand tight..."

Li Yuan tightly grasped Bi Yao's hand and flew up with her, barely avoiding the overwhelming blow from the stone statue.

The howling wind blew past her ears, and Bi Yao could feel the strength and warmth coming from Li Yuan's hand, which made her feel a little relieved in the crisis-ridden environment.

But she was also worried about Li Yuan's safety. The power of this stone statue was too amazing. If they were not careful, both of them might be smashed to pieces.

After circling in the air and dodging several attacks, Bi Yao suddenly noticed something strange.

The stone statue's attacks seemed violent and random, but each attack cleverly avoided a certain area of ​​the palace, as if it was guarding something precious.

A bold idea emerged in Bi Yao's mind: do the opposite.

"Li Yuan, let's charge over there!" Bi Yao pointed at the area guarded by the stone statue and said in a firm tone.

Li Yuan was stunned at first, obviously surprised by Bi Yao's decision, but he did not hesitate at all. He immediately changed direction and dived towards the area guarded by the stone statue.

The stone statue's attack became more violent, and huge stones fell like raindrops. Li Yuan kept adjusting his flight trajectory, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Bi Yao was concentrating on observing the surrounding environment, trying to find out what the stone statue was guarding.

As they got closer to the target area, the stone statue's attacks became more and more frantic, like an enraged beast, determined to tear the invaders into pieces.

At this moment, Bi Yao's eyes were fixed on an inconspicuous corner, where there was an ancient stone platform, and on the stone platform was a jade box emitting a faint light.

"That's it!" Bi Yao was delighted and motioned Li Yuan to come closer to the stone platform.

Li Yuan understood what he meant and controlled the flying sword, flying towards the stone platform at lightning speed.

Just as they were about to touch the stone platform, the statue's attack suddenly stopped...

"Wait..." Li Yuan grabbed Bi Yao and looked at the statue warily, whispering, "It... doesn't seem to be moving."

The stone statue remained motionless, as if under a spell, and the red light gradually dimmed.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan approached the stone platform cautiously, and only then did they see clearly that what was placed on the stone platform was not a jade box, but a spiritual bead emitting a strange light.

The spirit pearl was crystal clear all over, with a radiant glow inside. A powerful spiritual energy wave emanated from it, causing the two of them to feel a palpitation in their hearts.

"What...what is this?" Li Yuan couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but was stopped by Bi Yao.

"Be careful, this thing is extraordinary." Bi Yao observed the spirit bead carefully, a gleam in his eyes, "I have never seen this kind of spiritual power fluctuation. The energy it contains is probably enough to destroy the world."

At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly rang out from the palace, carrying a hint of warning: "Trespassers, leave immediately! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

The sudden sound startled the two men. Li Yuan subconsciously tightened the sword in his hand and looked around vigilantly, but saw no one.

"Who is playing tricks?" Li Yuan shouted loudly.

"I am the guardian of this world. You mortals, don't touch the spiritual pearls, otherwise you will suffer a catastrophic disaster!" The voice sounded again, with a hint of anger.

Bi Yao frowned and thought quickly in his mind.

This spiritual pearl contains enormous power. If they can obtain it, their strength will be greatly improved. However, if it really causes a disaster as the voice said, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Li Yuan, what should we do?" Bi Yao asked in a low voice.

Li Yuan looked at Bi Yao, then at the spirit bead that emitted an alluring light, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fortune and honor are achieved through risk! Yaoyao, let's fight!"

As he spoke, Li Yuan was about to reach out to take the spirit pearl.

"Stop!" Bi Yao stopped him again. "We can't act impulsively. We must understand the origin and function of this spirit pearl, as well as its possible consequences, before we can make a decision."

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally withdrew his hand.

"Then...then what should we do?"

Bi Yao pondered for a moment and his eyes fell on the stone statue.

She walked up to the stone statue and carefully observed the lines and runes on it, trying to find some clues.

Suddenly, she discovered that there was a groove on the chest of the stone statue, the shape of which was exactly the size of the spirit bead.

"Could it be..." Bi Yao's heart moved, and a bold idea came to his mind.

She picked up the spirit bead and slowly placed it into the groove on the stone statue's chest.

At the moment the spirit bead touched the groove, the entire palace trembled violently. The stone statue's eyes lit up red again, and an even more powerful spiritual power wave emanated from it, sweeping across the entire palace.

"What did you do!?" The majestic voice sounded again, with a hint of fear.

Bi Yao ignored it and stared at the stone statue closely, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Li Yuan, hold on to my hand!"

Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand without hesitation. The two of them stared firmly at the stone statue before them, waiting for what was about to happen...
