Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

Chapter 107: Danger lurks in the ruins, Xiao Bei cleverly overcomes the difficulties

The gate of the ruins slowly opened, and an ancient and mysterious atmosphere blew in, with a hint of coldness that made people shiver.

Xiao Bei followed at the end of the Gu family team, step by step, like a little lamb that had strayed into a pack of wolves.

This was not his voluntary choice to be at the bottom, but a VIP position "specially arranged" by the eldest son of the Gu family - specifically for exploring the way.

"Tsk tsk, this relic has something special!" Xiao Bei remained calm on the surface, but he was complaining wildly in his heart, "Is this young master of the Gu family thinking of me as a mine sweeper?" He secretly observed the surrounding environment while paying attention to his feet, for fear that he would accidentally trigger some mechanism and become the "scapegoat" of the young master of the Gu family.

The interior of the ruins is dimly lit, the air is filled with a damp smell, and the walls are carved with strange patterns that seem to be telling ancient stories.

Xiao Bei felt that it became difficult for him to breathe, as if an invisible pressure was pressing on his body and mind.

"Be careful!" The Gu family member walking in front suddenly exclaimed, and saw the ground in front suddenly collapsed, revealing a huge trap full of sharp spikes.

"Oh my god, this trap is too insidious!" Xiao Bei cursed in his heart. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stopped in time, so he did not fall into the trap.

"Xiao Bei, what are you doing standing there? Come over here and explore the way!" The voice of the eldest son of the Gu family came from the front, with a hint of gloating.

Xiao Bei sneered and thought to himself, "You want me to be cannon fodder? No way!" He pretended to be scared and said tremblingly, "Master, this trap is too dangerous. I dare not go in!"

"Waste!" the Gu family's eldest son cursed angrily, "You're just a servant. If you die, you die. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Young Master, these ruins are full of traps, so it's better to be careful." The old servant of the Gu family advised, "Why don't I go and explore the way first?"

"No need!" The eldest son of the Gu family waved his hand arrogantly. "Let this servant go. Even if he dies, it won't waste food!"

Xiao Bei took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and slowly walked towards the trap...

He suddenly stopped and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Oh, I suddenly remembered..." Xiao Bei suddenly stopped and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Oh, I suddenly remembered... I seem to be a little urgent!" He covered his stomach and pretended to be in pain.

The eldest son of the Gu family almost vomited blood, "Are you kidding me? Urgent? You're in a hurry at this time?!"

"Master, I really can't bear it anymore!" Xiao Bei's face was full of "pain" and he almost rolled on the ground.

The eldest son of the Gu family was so angry that his face turned green, but he couldn't lose his temper at this time. After all, the ruins were full of dangers, and he still needed Xiao Bei as a "pathfinder".

"Hurry up! Come here as soon as you're done!"

Xiao Bei ran to the corner, of course not really to relieve himself.

He carefully observed the structure of the trap, muttering to himself, "Tsk tsk, this mechanism is quite interesting! The ancients were right. If this is executed well, it will definitely be a complete show-off!"

He discovered that the triggering device of the mechanism was a small button hidden on the stone wall. The trap would be activated with just a slight touch.

The location of this button is blocked by a protruding stone, making it difficult for ordinary people to find.

"Hehe, God helps me!" Xiao Bei was secretly happy. He took out a thin wire from the storage bag and carefully stretched it towards the button.

"Click!" There was a slight sound, the button was pressed, but the trap did not activate.

Xiao Bei tried a few more times and found that as long as he avoided the center of the button, the mechanism would not be triggered.

"It's done!" Xiao Bei clenched his fists excitedly. He bypassed the trap and easily reached the other side.

"Master, I've taken care of it. We can move on!"

The eldest son of the Gu family and all the other children of the Gu family were dumbfounded. How did this kid do it?

They clearly saw the trap was there, yet he just walked right past it?

At this moment, a black shadow flashed by, and a huge shadow cat suddenly appeared. It let out a sharp hiss and launched an attack on the Gu family team.

"Ah!" The Gu family disciples were thrown into chaos. The eldest son of the Gu family turned pale with fear and shouted incoherently, "Protect me! Protect me quickly!"

Xiao Bei sneered, "That's it? A descendant of an ancient family? I'm afraid he's nothing but an embroidered pillow!" He watched the opportunity, pinched his fingers together, and a flash of lightning flashed, hitting the shadow cat's abdomen.

Shadow Cat let out a shrill scream and turned to pounce on Xiao Bei.

Xiao Bei was not in a hurry. He dodged Shadow Cat's attack by moving sideways, then punched Shadow Cat on the head.

With a loud "bang", Shadow Cat was knocked away by Xiao Bei's punch and fell heavily to the ground. After struggling for a few times, he became motionless.

The children of the Gu family all looked at Xiao Bei in amazement. This boy is too strong!

"It's just a trifle, not worth mentioning." Xiao Bei clapped his hands, looking calm and composed.

Suddenly, he felt a cold gaze staring at him... "Who?"

Bei Li hid in the dark, and his heart was in his throat when he saw Xiao Bei in danger.

She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, wishing she could rush out to help him immediately.

But she knew that she couldn't do that, she had to trust Xiao Bei.

"Calm down, calm down. This is just a small matter!" Xiao Bei was dealing with Shadow Cat while secretly sending a message to Bei Li, "I, your young master, have been through hundreds of battles. What can a mere kitten do to me?"

Hearing Xiao Bei's voice, Bei Li's heart calmed down a little.

She knew that although Xiao Bei seemed careless on the surface, he was actually a meticulous and powerful person.

She took a deep breath and prayed silently for him.

After dealing with Shadow Cat, Xiao Bei didn't have time to catch his breath before he felt someone was doing something behind his back.

He looked back and saw that it was indeed the lackeys of the eldest son of the Gu family.

"Hey, isn't this the 'elite troops' of the eldest son of the Gu family? Why, do you want to come and have a competition?" Xiao Bei curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense! Our young master doesn't like you, so just prepare to suffer!" a lackey shouted.

They set up a tripwire in a narrow passage, hoping to make Xiao Bei fall flat on his face.

But who is Xiao Bei?

He is a time traveler with modern knowledge!

This little trick was child's play in his eyes.

With a light dodgment, he not only avoided the tripwire, but also used a little magic to make those lackeys fall flat on their faces.

"Oh my, why is the road so slippery? Brothers, are you okay?" Xiao Bei asked with a look of "concern", and the people around him blushed from trying to hold back their laughter.

The eldest son of the Gu family was furious, but he could do nothing. He could only secretly curse Xiao Bei's luck.

Along the way, Xiao Bei resolved crisis after crisis with his wit and strength.

Beili looked at Xiao Bei's back, her eyes full of admiration and love.

She quietly walked to Xiao Bei and gently grabbed his arm.

"Sir, are you okay?" Beili's voice was filled with a hint of worry.

"It's okay, just a small scene." Xiao Bei smiled and patted Bei Li's hand, giving her a reassuring look.

Beili held Xiao Bei's arm tightly, feeling his strength, and her heart was filled with a sense of security.

It’s great to have him around!

Suddenly, Xiao Bei stopped and his eyes fell on an inconspicuous symbol in the corner.

"Wait..." he whispered.

Xiao Bei squatted down, carefully observing the symbol, muttering to himself: "God rewards hard work? No, why does this thing look like a QR code?" He took out his mobile phone. Of course, in the world of immortal cultivation, this thing is just a decoration and there is no signal.

“It would be great if I could just scan it. Maybe I could add an ancient god as my friend and take me to ascension directly.”

Upon seeing this, the eldest son of the Gu family's eyes lit up and he immediately shouted: "You are so good, Xiao Bei! You actually hid the treasure! Hand it over!" He rushed forward and tried to snatch Xiao Bei's "treasure".

Xiao Bei didn't even raise his eyelids, and dodged the bear hug of the eldest son of the Gu family by turning sideways.

"Hey, young master, don't get excited. This is not a treasure, it's just a broken stone." As he spoke, he calmly wiped the dust around the symbol.

"Broken stone? You must be kidding! I see you acting sneaky, you must have some secret!" The eldest son of the Gu family refused to give in and stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Bei.

"Young Master, be careful with your feet!" The old servant of the Gu family was sharp-eyed and found that there seemed to be some mechanism under Xiao Bei's feet.

It happened so quickly that Xiao Bei moved his feet. With a "click", a stone wall suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the eldest son of the Gu family.

"Oh my god! What the hell is this?!" The eldest son of the Gu family was startled by the sudden stone wall and almost bumped into it.

"Xiao Bei! You tricked me!"

"I swear to God, Master, this is really not my fault! I just moved my feet slightly..." Xiao Bei spread his hands innocently, "This ruins is full of traps, Master, you'd better be careful."

While the eldest son of the Gu family was trapped, Xiao Bei continued to study the symbol.

He discovered that this symbol was not carved, but painted with a special pigment, and this pigment seemed to emit faint spiritual fluctuations.

"Interesting, there's some trick to this thing." Xiao Bei was secretly delighted. He took out a small knife, gently scraped off a little paint, and put it under his nose to smell it.

"Hmm... this tastes... a bit like..."

"Like what?" Beili asked curiously.

"Like spicy strips!" Xiao Bei blurted out.

Beili was confused: "Spicy...spicy strips?"

"Ahem, nothing." Xiao Bei realized that he had let something slip and quickly changed the subject. "Anyway, I think this symbol must be related to the peerless martial arts!"

At this time, the eldest son of the Gu family finally pushed open the stone wall with great effort.

"Xiao Bei! Stop right there!" He rushed over roaring.

Xiao Bei sneered: "Young Master, we will meet again later!" He flashed and disappeared at the corner of the passage.

"Chase! Chase him!" the eldest son of the Gu family shouted angrily.

Beili looked at the direction where Xiao Bei left, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Sir, what are you going to do now?" She murmured to herself, and then followed him.

Xiao Bei ran in the intricate passage, looking back from time to time at the pursuers of the eldest son of the Gu family.

"Tsk tsk, this speed is not much faster than a snail!" As he said this, he was thinking about his next plan in his mind.

Suddenly, he stopped and his eyes fell on a tightly closed stone door in front of him.

Above the stone gate, four large characters are engraved: "Scripture Repository".

"It seems that I am getting closer and closer to my goal..." Xiao Bei took a deep breath, slowly stretched out his hand, and pushed open the stone door...

With a "creak", the stone door opened a crack, and it was pitch black inside, but a powerful spiritual power wave came out.

"Here it comes..." Xiao Bei said softly, with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.
