Chapter 152: The crisis behind the stone gate, Xiao Bei breaks the deadlock and benefits again
Xiao Bei narrowed his eyes, stared at the word "封" on the stone gate, touched his chin, and looked thoughtful.
"Tsk tsk, this thing is quite interesting." He reached out and touched the rune again, feeling the energy flowing through it.
"It's a bit like an old-fashioned encryption program. We have to crack it."
Beili crossed her arms and stared at him nervously.
"Xiao Bei, take it easy, don't do anything weird again!"
"Don't worry, Xiao Li'er, I know what I'm doing." Xiao Bei smiled and danced his fingers quickly on the runes, like a pianist playing a passionate piece of music.
He was mumbling to himself, occasionally throwing out some modern words like "binary", "code", "firewall", etc., which made Beili look confused.
"What spell are you chanting? I don't understand a word of it." Beili asked curiously.
"High technology, you don't understand." Xiao Bei replied without raising his head. His fingers moved faster and faster, and the runes on the stone door began to flash, the light becoming more and more dazzling.
Suddenly, Xiao Bei paused and his expression changed. "Oh no! There's a trap!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black mist surged out from around the stone gate, like an octopus's tentacles, quickly wrapped around Xiao Bei's arms and began to devour his spiritual power.
"Oh my god! What the hell is this thing!" Xiao Bei felt that his spiritual power was rapidly dissipating like a flood, and his face turned pale in an instant.
"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li exclaimed and wanted to go forward to help, but was blocked by an invisible force.
Xiao Bei gritted his teeth and tried to break free from the black mist, but found that this force was extremely strong and he could not shake it at all.
His spiritual power was rapidly draining away, and his vision was beginning to blur...
"System, help!" Xiao Bei shouted in his heart.
At this moment, he felt a warm current coming from his body...
The system's voice sounded in time: "The host is detected to be in danger, the emergency plan is activated, and a special spiritual power operation method 'Chaos Jue' is provided." A stream of information poured into Xiao Bei's mind, obscure but wonderful.
"Chaos Sutra? It sounds very powerful!" Xiao Bei did not dare to delay and immediately circulated his spiritual power according to the method provided by the system.
The spiritual power that was originally gushing out seemed to have a valve installed, and the rate of loss suddenly slowed down. A strange energy flowed through his body, forming a protective shield to resist the erosion of the black mist.
"Huh, I finally breathed a sigh of relief!" Xiao Bei felt much better, but the crisis was far from over.
The black mist seemed to sense the obstruction and suddenly shrank, condensing into a huge shadow monster, shaped like a ferocious giant wolf. Its blood-red eyes stared at Xiao Bei and it let out a deafening roar.
"Holy crap! Is this thing the boss? So cool!" Xiao Bei complained. Not daring to be careless, he quickly formed seals with his hands and used his famous skill - "Rolling Thunder".
Thick bolts of lightning fell from the sky, striking the shadow monster and blasting out bursts of black smoke.
However, the shadow monster has thick skin and tough flesh, and lightning attacks can cause limited damage to it.
Instead, it became even more violent, waving its sharp claws, bringing up gusts of cold wind, and pounced towards Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei dodged left and right, surrounded by danger.
The shadow monster's attacks were unpredictable and incredibly fast, almost glancing at him several times.
"This thing must be cheating! Its attack speed is so fast!"
Bei Li was terrified watching from the side and wanted to go forward to help, but was bounced back by an invisible force and could only worry.
"Xiao Bei! Be careful!"
"Xiao Li'er, don't come over! This monster is a bit tricky!" Xiao Bei responded to Bei Li while dodging the attack.
The shadow monster's attacks became more and more fierce, and Xiao Bei gradually felt overwhelmed.
Just when he was about to collapse, he suddenly discovered a detail...
The shadow monster's attack would pause briefly when passing through certain areas on the stone chamber floor...
"Huh? What's going on?" Xiao Bei's eyes narrowed...
Xiao Bei's eyes rolled and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hehe, I see. It seems this boss isn't invincible after all!" While dodging the attacks, he deliberately guided the shadow monsters towards those specific areas.
"You little brat, you want to play tricks on me? You're still a bit inexperienced!" Xiao Bei was like a nimble dancer, moving around easily within the attack range of the shadow monster.
Whenever the shadow monster passed through those specific areas and paused for a short time, Xiao Bei would seize the opportunity and attack without mercy.
“Thunder rolls in the sky!” “Flames burn the sky!” “The wind roars!”
He used all kinds of cool skills at the shadow monster, making it scream.
"Let you be so arrogant! Let you be so cocky! Now you know how powerful I am!" Xiao Bei attacked while not forgetting to talk back, just like a game anchor.
Beili was stunned watching from the side, and his originally nervous mood gradually relaxed, and he even felt like laughing.
"Xiao Bei, this is so funny, it's like playing a game."
With Xiao Bei's unremitting efforts, the shadow monster's arrogance was gradually suppressed, and the black mist on its body began to thin.
At this moment, Xiao Bei suddenly discovered a key detail: "Huh? This black mist seems to be coming out of the runes on the stone gate?"
He observed carefully and found that every time the shadow monster was attacked, the runes on the stone gate would flash, and at the same time, the black mist on the shadow monster would decrease.
"I understand! The source of this shadow monster's power is the Stone Gate Rune! As long as we destroy the rune, we can destroy it!" Xiao Bei shouted excitedly, as if he had discovered a hidden loophole in the game.
He glanced at the shadow monster that was still struggling, then looked at the runes on the stone gate, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Fight!"
"Xiao Bei, what are you doing?" Bei Li noticed Xiao Bei's intention and shouted anxiously.
Xiao Bei didn't answer, but just looked at Bei Li deeply, and then...
Xiao Bei took a deep breath and shouted, "Lier, believe me!" Then, he took strange steps, his figure flashed like a ghost, and he ignored the attack of the shadow monster and rushed straight to the stone gate.
"Oh my god! Is Xiao Bei crazy?!" Bei Li covered her mouth and exclaimed in shock.
The shadow monster seemed to be stunned for a moment. It didn't expect Xiao Bei to be so bold as to ignore its existence.
It roared angrily, waved its sharp claws, and grabbed Xiao Bei fiercely.
At the critical moment, Xiao Bei slid and narrowly avoided the attack of the shadow monster and came to the stone gate.
He pressed his hands against the rune, mobilized all his spiritual power, and poured it all into it.
"Break it for me!" Xiao Bei shouted, and the runes on the stone door emitted a dazzling light, like a bomb about to explode.
The shadow monster seemed to sense the danger and attacked Xiao Bei frantically, trying to stop him.
But it's too late!
"Boom!" With a loud noise, the runes on the stone gate exploded and turned into starlight and dissipated in the air.
The shadow monster let out a shrill scream and then turned into black smoke and disappeared.
The stone door slowly opened, revealing the scene inside.
A shining treasure chest lies there quietly, as if waiting for its owner.
"Huh, it's finally done!" Xiao Bei wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Bei, are you okay?" Bei Li hurried to Xiao Bei and asked with concern.
"It's okay, no big deal." Xiao Bei waved his hand, looking calm and composed, but he was secretly glad in his heart: Fortunately, my brother reacted quickly, otherwise I would have died here.
He walked to the treasure chest, rubbed his hands, and opened it with anticipation.
Lying quietly inside was a quaint key and a rolled-up ancient map.
"What is this?" Beili asked curiously.
Xiao Bei picked up the key and map, looked at them carefully, but found that he did not recognize the words on them.
"It looks like some kind of ancient writing. I don't know what it is."
At this moment, the surrounding space began to tremble violently, and cracks appeared on the stone wall, as if it would collapse at any time.
"Oh no! This place is going to collapse!" Xiao Bei's face changed. He hurriedly grabbed Bei Li's hand and said, "Li'er, let's go!"
Beili also sensed the danger, so she held Xiao Bei's hand tightly and ran out with him.
"Wait!" Xiao Bei suddenly stopped and looked at the map in his hand, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He pointed to a mark on the map and said, "Li'er, look..."
