Taihua Mountain, in the cave.

Ma Yi clenched the dagger in his hand, stared at the center of the stone platform with his eyes, gritted his teeth and turned his heart sideways, and without hesitation, he swung his arm towards the empty space in the middle of the stone platform, and stabbed down with a dagger.

And just as the dagger was about to touch the empty space in the center of the stone platform, suddenly a metal-like humming sound suddenly rang out, echoing in the empty grotto, humming again and again, making the cave immediately envelop an extremely strange atmosphere.

At the same time, a pale golden light shroud that shimmered with golden light appeared out of thin air in an instant, enveloping the entire stone platform at once. I saw that countless dense pale golden runes on it were shuttling and circulating, and from time to time there would be bursts of metallic humming sounds, which seemed mysterious and abnormal.

Before the dagger in Ma Yi's hand touched the core blank space, it was suddenly pushed back by the golden light mask, and she only felt an inexplicable invisible force crashing head-on into her, and immediately felt her internal organs tumbling, as if displaced. Venus flashed in front of him, and the "buzzing" sound in his mind kept coming, his throat was sweet, and a bloody breath slammed straight up, and he couldn't bear the sound of "wow", and a mouthful of red blood spurted out. It landed right on the golden curtain of light, and disappeared without a trace in a flash.

And her body was thrown high by the invisible force, and the impact was thrown up two or three meters high, and she fell four or five meters away in a flat flight, and she rolled to the ground and struggled for a long time and couldn't get up.

Taiquan City, Taihua Mountain, under the foot of the mountain.

Li Xiaoyu and Miao Tingting came to the foot of the mountain, and after a short time, they saw Liu Tao running down from Taihua Mountain in a hurry, followed by two search and rescue team members. Liu Tao originally wanted to come down alone, but he didn't go far before he saw a few groups of people of unknown origin, who were taking advantage of the chaotic situation to do some illegal things.

Seeing such a chaotic situation, Liu Tao immediately rushed back after a little hesitation, and after understanding what Xiaoyi had seen and heard on the mountain, Xie Xiaoyi sent him two more search and rescue team members out of safety considerations, and went down the mountain with Liu Tao to pick up Li Xiaoyu and them.

Although Liu Tao didn't know Li Xiaoyu, he had seen Miao Tingting, and after a little glance in the crowd at the foot of the mountain, he immediately saw Miao Tingting standing at the foot of the mountain, so he ran over without hesitation.

Looking at Liu Tao in front of her, Miao Tingting smiled slightly and asked, "Liu Tao, did the young master ask you to pick us up?" If so, let's go up now. ”

Liu Tao looked at Li Xiaoyu, and after nodding kindly, he turned back to Miao Tingting and smiled and said, "Of course, I came to pick you up the mountain on purpose." As he spoke, he turned his head and looked around, and when he saw that it was only the two of them, he couldn't help but ask with some doubts, "Why are there only the two of you?" Didn't Uncle Li send someone to protect you? ”

Hearing Liu Tao's question, Miao Tingting chuckled and explained: "That's the case, when I got in touch with Uncle Li, I didn't expect any danger. So I didn't let Uncle Li arrange personnel to protect us, is there any danger on the mountain? ”

"It's nothing, for me these are just some shrimp soldiers, crab generals, stragglers, no big deal. Let's go up now. Without further ado, he turned around and walked up the hill.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyu and Miao Tingting didn't delay much, the two looked at each other and followed closely behind, and followed so quickly

Mount Taihua, deep at the bottom of the mountain, in the cave.

Ma Yi lay on the ground and rested for about ten minutes, gritted his teeth after his qi and blood calmed down, moved his limbs slightly, raised his hand to wipe the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, and then twisted his somewhat wrinkled neck, and then slowly stood up from the ground.

At this time, she only felt that her whole body was falling apart, there was no place in her body that was not painful, and her internal organs felt very uncomfortable as if they were displaced. After briefly examining his body, he found that there were no external injuries and that there was nothing unusual about the bones in his body, so he breathed a long sigh of relief.

After calming down a little, he stretched his limbs a few times, circled around the stone platform a few times, and moved his somewhat stiff body well, and then his eyes fell on the golden light curtain outside the stone platform.

I saw that this light curtain was a brilliant golden color, with a radius of about three meters, and countless dense tadpole-like strange runes on it, shuttling on it endlessly. The entire light curtain resembles a large golden bowl that is upside down, enveloping the entire stone platform, and from time to time there is a burst of metal humming.

Looking at this light mask, Ma Yi's brows furrowed, and he gradually fell into deep thought, "Judging from the situation in front of me, this stone platform is undoubtedly a treasure, and it should be a great treasure, but the key to the matter is that I don't know anything about it now. Thinking of this, Ma Yi couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, "Even if you have a legendary storage ring or storage bag in your hand, it's fine." In that case, I can easily take this stone platform away and take it back to study it carefully. But now I have nothing in my hands! It's sad and lamentable! There doesn't seem to be such an awkward scene in that kind of novel......"

After a period of unrealistic thoughts, Ma Yi also knew that dreaming like he was here now would not help solve the problem. So she could only put away her thoughts about that step to the sky and began to seriously consider countermeasures.

"Obviously, this mask should be something similar to a protective enchantment, and it should be the stone platform inside. So if you want to solve the problem, you have to get rid of this obstructive mask first. Directly shattering this golden light mask, that is obviously unrealistic. First of all, I don't know anything about this thing, and I don't understand how this mask is generated. The second point is that I have just suffered a big loss on this, and it is obvious that it is absolutely not good to be hard. Thinking about this, Ma Yi touched his chin with his hand, and couldn't help muttering: "It seems that the key to the matter is to start with this stone platform, but the key to the problem is that I can no longer get close to this stone platform." What to do? ”

After thinking to no avail, Ma Yi looked at the ground where the rocks were crisscrossed and there was no trace of dirt, and he immediately completely dispelled the crazy idea of trying to dig a tunnel and sneak in. Confused, she couldn't help but carefully observe the changes in the surrounding environment again. And it was such a careful look that really made her inadvertently grasp a trace of valuable clues that she almost ignored.

Seeing this, Ma Yi's eyes couldn't help but light up and said, "Why didn't I find out just now?" ”
