Chapter 202 Weird Trap
The two of them moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, as if the ground beneath their feet could turn into a deadly abyss at any time. Yun Yao was concentrating on sensing everything around her, and her spiritual sense was magnified to the extreme in this mysterious valley. Suddenly, Yun Yao felt that the ground beneath her feet seemed to be a little strange, it was an extremely subtle fluctuation, if she hadn't been nervous at the moment, I'm afraid it would be difficult to detect. She was about to remind Chu Mochen, but she saw countless sharp stone pillars suddenly surge up around them, breaking out of the ground and stabbing straight towards them. These stone pillars carried a fierce momentum, and when they cut through the air, they made a sharp whistling sound, as if the scythe of the god of death was waving.
"Be careful!" Chu Mochen shouted. His reaction speed was extremely fast. At the moment when the stone pillar was about to pierce Yun Yao, he quickly pulled her to the side to avoid it. Yun Yao only felt a strong force coming, and her body was involuntarily pulled to the side. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The thrill of life and death made her forehead covered with cold sweat in an instant. The two narrowly avoided the first round of attacks, but they both knew that this was just the beginning of the trap.
Then, spiritual ropes shot out from all directions, twisting and turning like spirit snakes, wrapping around them with a cold sheen and powerful spiritual fluctuations. These ropes seemed to have their own consciousness, flexibly shuttling through the air, blocking all possible directions for them to dodge. Yun Yao was startled, and a flash of panic flashed through her mind for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. With the system's agile prompts, her body seemed to be injected with a mysterious power, and she reacted instinctively. She twisted her body flexibly, and the long sword in her hand was instantly unsheathed. The sword body flashed with cold light, intertwined with her figure, forming a sword shadow. The long sword in Yun Yao's hand accurately cut off the approaching ropes, and each swing was with just the right strength and angle, dissolving the spiritual ropes that tried to bind them one by one.
Chu Mochen used a powerful spiritual shield. He quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted something. As he chanted the spell, a golden light surged out from his hands and quickly spread out, temporarily protecting them. The shield emitted a dazzling light, like a golden eggshell. The spiritual ropes whipped the shield, splashing golden ripples and making crackling sounds, but they could not break through the shield's defense.
However, Yun Yao found that these spiritual ropes were endless and attacked in waves. She knew that this was not a solution. Even with the protection of the shield, they would gradually be exhausted. So, while she continued to cut the approaching ropes, she quickly analyzed the source and weakness of these traps through the system. With the help of the system, she found that the spiritual power fluctuations of these stone pillars and ropes seemed to come from a central point deep in the valley.
"Chu Mochen, I think the source of these traps is deep in the valley. We have to find a way to rush over and find the source before we can completely solve it." Yun Yao said loudly. Her voice was firm and calm, giving people an inexplicable sense of security in this dangerous environment.
Chu Mochen nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of determination. "Okay, I'll break a gap, you follow me closely." After saying that, he changed the spells in his hands, the light of the spiritual shield suddenly increased, and then he pushed forward violently. The shield rushed towards the ropes and stone pillars in front like a golden cannonball. Wherever it went, the stone pillars were smashed to pieces and the ropes were dissipated. Yun Yao followed closely behind him, waving the long sword in her hand to escort him and prevent any fish that slipped through the net from attacking from the side.
Just when they thought they were about to break through the trap, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently, and huge cracks spread rapidly. Black mist emanated from the cracks, and a faint terrifying roar came from the mist, as if some terrible monster was about to crawl out from the ground. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, and they both saw solemnity in each other's eyes. At this time, the retreat had been cut off, and they had no choice but to move forward bravely to find a glimmer of hope in this strange trap.
Yun Yao took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual power in her body, and gathered it all to her feet. Then, she jumped lightly, and her body jumped over the crack in front of her like a light swallow. Chu Mochen was not to be outdone, he used his body skills and followed closely behind Yun Yao. The two of them struggled forward in this valley full of traps. Every step was full of dangers and challenges, but they never gave up, supported each other, and faced this unknown fear together.
As they went deeper, the trap became more and more powerful. Suddenly, countless huge rocks fell from the sky, burning with flames, smashing towards them with the momentum of destroying everything. Yun Yao looked up and was shocked. She quickly inserted the long sword in her hand into the ground, then formed a seal with both hands and shouted, "Sword Protection!" The long sword instantly released a huge sword-shaped light curtain, covering them. The rocks hit the light curtain, making a deafening roar, and the light curtain also trembled violently, but fortunately it temporarily blocked the attack.
"We can't go on like this, we have to take the initiative." Chu Mochen frowned and said. He waved his hands, and golden runes flew out of his hands, gathering into a huge golden palm in the air. This palm exuded a powerful spiritual power fluctuation and grabbed the stones in the sky. Wherever the golden palm went, the stones were crushed and turned into powder and dissipated in the air.
Seeing this, Yun Yao also put away the sword curtain. She injected spiritual power into the long sword and swung it vigorously. The long sword released a sharp sword energy and rushed towards the trap in front. Wherever the sword energy passed, stone pillars, ropes and cracks were cut and filled, opening up a path for them. The two took the opportunity to move forward quickly along this path. They knew that time was running out and they had to find the core of the trap as soon as possible, otherwise they would be exhausted by this endless trap sooner or later.
As they continued to move forward, Yun Yao found that the fog around them was getting thicker and thicker, and her vision was getting more and more blurred. She had an idea and activated the spiritual vision function through the system. In an instant, her eyes became clear, and she saw a huge spiritual power formation not far away. Various runes and lights were flashing in the formation. It was this formation that was constantly releasing traps.
"Chu Mochen, I saw the trap formation, it's right in front!" Yun Yao said excitedly.
Chu Mochen looked in the direction she pointed. Although he couldn't see the scene in his spiritual vision, he believed in Yun Yao's judgment. "Okay, let's go and break it together."
The two of them sped up and rushed towards the formation. However, just as they were about to approach the formation, a group of phantoms suddenly appeared around them. These phantoms had different shapes, some were ferocious beasts, and some were hideous evil spirits. They pounced on Yun Yao and Chu Mochen with their fangs and claws bared. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen immediately stopped and looked at these phantoms vigilantly.
"These phantoms should be the defense mechanism of the formation. We must deal with them carefully." Yun Yao said.
She rushed towards the phantoms first, waving the sword in her hand, and each sword could kill a phantom. But there were so many phantoms that they could not be killed. Chu Mochen cast a spell on the side, releasing a series of spiritual rays to disperse the approaching phantoms. The two cooperated with each other and started a fierce battle with the phantoms.
During the battle, Yun Yao discovered that although these phantoms seemed powerful, their attack methods had certain rules. She analyzed this rule through the system and told it to Chu Mochen. According to this rule, the two adjusted their battle strategy and gradually gained the upper hand. They no longer blindly attacked the phantoms, but carried out targeted defense and counterattacks.
After a hard fight, they finally eliminated all the phantoms. At this time, they had come to the front of the spiritual power formation. This formation exuded a powerful spiritual power fluctuation, which made people feel an invisible pressure. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen knew that this would be the biggest challenge they faced.
"How do we break this formation?" Yun Yao looked at the formation and asked with a headache.
Chu Mochen carefully observed the runes and light of the formation, his brows furrowed, and he thought for a long time. "This formation is extremely complicated, I need some time to study how to crack it. You stay by my side to protect me and prevent other dangers from appearing."
Yun Yao nodded. She stood beside Chu Mochen and looked around vigilantly. As time passed, Chu Mochen's forehead was gradually covered with sweat, but his eyes became more and more determined. Finally, he seemed to have found the key to cracking the formation.
"I found a way. This formation needs to be broken by attacking its three array centers at the same time. I will be responsible for attacking the array centers on the left and right, and you will be responsible for attacking the array center in the middle." Chu Mochen said.
Yun Yao took a deep breath, she clenched the sword in her hand, and raised the spiritual power in her body to the extreme. "Okay, let's get started!"
The two launched attacks at the same time, their spiritual power rays rushed towards the center of the formation. When the spiritual power rays touched the center of the formation, the formation instantly released a powerful rebound force, which pushed them back several steps. But they did not give up and launched attacks again. After many attempts, they finally succeeded in hitting the center of the formation. With a flash of dazzling light, the spiritual power formation slowly dissipated, and the surrounding traps also disappeared.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen breathed a sigh of relief, with tired but relieved smiles on their faces. This battle with the strange trap made them understand each other better and further improved their strength. They knew that there were more challenges waiting for them in this mysterious valley, but they were no longer afraid because they had each other's company and trust.
