Chapter 40: The Stone Formation
A great storm whistled through the stone chamber with the currents of water. The swirling trajectory is unusually clear in the light of the fire, as if it were the operation of a planetary system, perfect and dreamy, full of mystery. The water reflects the light, illuminating the stone chamber, and the gray stone walls reflect the bright points of light, making people feel as dreamy as if they are in a starry sky.
But neither He Li nor Xingyu had any interest in appreciating this supernatural beauty. They felt a great danger. Not to mention anything else, just the storm, the two of them knew that they would definitely not be able to withstand it.
Looking at the scale of the storm, you can see that the amount of water in it is definitely calculated in hundreds of tons, and the force of the rotation of so many currents is naturally even more terrifying.
Xingyu condensed a white ice spike in his hand, the cold light penetrated through the bones, and it looked extremely sharp and tough.
Then, Starrain waved it and threw it out.
The "Ka ......" ice spikes were churned into powder just as they approached the storm, turning into flying ice powder and blending into the storm.
He Li looked at the storm and didn't say a word.
She didn't know the hardness of the Xingyu Ice Thorn, the hardness of that Ice Spike should be no less than that of most alloys, but it was crushed so casually?
He Li could judge that even if an armored vehicle entered that storm, it was estimated that it would be the result of death or life, and it would definitely be stirred into powder like that ice thorn.
What should I do? He Li knew that it was impossible for him to enter this storm.
But this storm covered almost the entire stone chamber, and the place where they were was was almost the only safe place in this stone chamber, and the rest of the place was covered by the raging wind that was wrapped in water, and it was impossible to go there, let alone bypass it, and the two of them could only advance a few meters before they had to stop.
Go back? He Li turned his gaze to the star shower on the side. There may be other ways to go.
"I can't go back!" Xingyu smiled bitterly and motioned for He Li to turn around.
"Huh?" He Li curiously looked back in the direction that Xingyu was pointing.
There were traces of water flowing on the gray-white walls, and nothing unusual was visible.
Well? Wall?!
He Li looked around in disbelief, only to find that there were only walls.
The passage they had taken was gone!
That means they're stuck here!
"Not good!" He Li looked towards the place where he remembered the passage. There was no passage anywhere, only a wall with smooth water streaks, nothing unusual to see, the wall seemed to have been like it all along, it had never been touched there.
"How is this possible?!" He Li finally began to get nervous, she reached out and knocked on the stone wall, and there was a muffled sound that was only found in the solid wall of despair.
He Li gritted his teeth, merged his hands, and condensed a blood-red fireball like the remnant sun, regardless of the result, and suddenly pushed forward. This is the strongest flame she can condense at the moment, and it has extremely strong destructive power, powerful enough to blow up several cars, but it also consumes a lot. He Li used it rashly in this place, and it could be seen that she was indeed panicking. After all, anyone trapped in such an unknown and strange place will be nervous. He Li did often show indifference before, and she was usually very calm, but this was also based on strength, but in this place, her ability, her strength, didn't seem to be worth mentioning, and now, she was really panicked.
As soon as the fireball was launched, He Li immediately regretted it, releasing such a destructive explosive fireball in this small space, is this suicide?! As long as it explodes, it will be powerful enough to push the two of them out of this safe area and into the devastating storm!
Fire, the ability to burst mania, is difficult to manipulate, let alone the burst fireball that He Li has condensed with great effort, that violent energy, He Li can't grasp it as soon as he gets out of his hands, and can only watch the fireball containing terrifying energy crash into the stone wall.
"Whew!" Instead of having the desired effect, the fireball melted as if it had been smashed into a piece of snow. There was a trace of ripples like water waves on the stone wall, and the fireball was actually swallowed by the stone wall, and disappeared like a stone sinking into the water.
"......Huh" He Li let out a sigh of relief, relieved, but then became nervous again, she couldn't destroy this stone wall, and when such a strange thing happened, she began to get nervous again.
"Bang!" He Li punched the rock wall, making a muffled sound, but the rock wall did not move at all, and it didn't seem to be the same as the rock wall when the fireball was devoured.
Cold sweat began to ooze from He Li's head.
She began to regret it, and even began to despair. Being trapped in this place, feeling powerless, remembering what Xingyu had said about this cave without entering or leaving, she was even more nervous in the bottom of her heart.
The throat is dry...... She needed something to calm her mind.
For example...... Blood......
How can it be! He Li shook his head suddenly, leaving this terrible thought behind, why did she have the urge to be bloodthirsty?! He Li bit her lip, a little bit of blood spread from her mouth, and she seemed to feel much more at ease.
He Li didn't seem to feel it herself, and she seemed to be craving for blood, like a vampire.
"Sister!" Xingyu said loudly.
"Huh?" He Li took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and replied.
"We seem to be trapped in a formation." Xingyu said. "Find a way to break the formation and get out!"
"Formation?" He Li wasn't too surprised, if someone told her this before, she would have thought it would be, but after these things happened, she had already begun to accept those mysterious and weird things.
For the formation, He Li is no stranger, he has never eaten pork and seen a pig run, right? Like the eight formations in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or something, isn't it also a description of the formation? And in those fantasy cultivation novels, there are more descriptions of formations and whatnot, so He Li is no stranger to the so-called formations.
"Yes." Xingyu said, "It's a formation, it seems to be used to protect the ruins, it seems to be a formation that can enter but can't go out, if the person who enters doesn't crack it, he should be trapped here alive!" Take this guy for example. ”
Starrain seemed to kick something out of the pile of rubble beneath its feet.
Through the dim light of the flashlight, He Li saw that it was a blackened skull, which seemed to have been dead for an unknown number of years, and it looked eerie.
"I don't want to be like this!" He Li said, smashing the pitch-black skull with one foot, making a tooth-aching sound. "So we're going to go out, right?"
"Huh...... Sister, are you nervous? Xingyu smiled, and the answer was not related to the question.
