The fairy love story between Bi Yao and Li Yuan after traveling through time

Chapter 175: Exploring Ancient Mysteries and Encountering Strange Things

Bi Yao and Li Yuan stepped into the cave cautiously. The inside of the cave was pitch black, with only the spirit stones in their hands emitting a faint light.

The mysterious atmosphere at the entrance of the cave is even more intense, making people feel a little uneasy.

"Something seems to be wrong here." Li Yuan said in a low voice, frowning.

Bi Yao nodded, curiosity glittering in her eyes. "The more dangerous a place is, the more secrets it often hides." She stretched out the spirit stone in her hand, trying to illuminate the farther place.

But the light of the spirit stone seemed to be suppressed by some force, so weak that it was almost ineffective.

The two continued to move forward, and the cave gradually became wider, with strange runes carved on the walls.

The shapes of these runes are complex and ancient, full of mystery.

Li Yuan looked at these runes, his eyes full of doubt, "These runes look very ancient, they don't seem to belong to the world of immortal cultivation in our era."

Bi Yao observed it carefully, her lips curled up slightly. "I've seen these runes before. They're symbols passed down from ancient immortals." She spoke with confidence and composure. "I remember seeing similar symbols mentioned in modern archaeology books. They might represent some kind of powerful restriction."

Li Yuan nodded, but the uneasiness in his heart did not completely dissipate.

He felt a powerful force suppressing their spiritual power, making their movements extremely slow.

"This restriction is extremely powerful. Our spiritual power is greatly restricted here."

Bi Yao smiled and patted Li Yuan's shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen." She took out an ancient jade slip from her arms. This was a treasure she collected in modern times, which recorded many secrets of ancient immortals.

She carefully compared the information on the jade slip, and the runes gradually became clearer.

"It seems that this relic is indeed not simple," Bi Yao said softly, "These runes not only represent restrictions, but may also hide some ancient mechanism."

Suddenly, a slight vibration came from deep in the cave, and the two became alert instantly.

Li Yuan quickly raised the spirit stone in his hand to its highest brightness, and the darkness deep in the cave was briefly dispelled.

Not far ahead, a huge stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the unknown.

"Yaoyao, be careful." Li Yuan reminded in a low voice, and the light of the spirit stone in his hand became more and more dazzling.

Bi Yao nodded, with a determined light in her eyes, "Let's go and see what's inside." She stepped forward, Li Yuan followed closely behind her, and the two of them walked into the dark passage together.

It was pitch black in the passage, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Bi Yao took out a night-shining pearl from his storage bag, and the soft light instantly illuminated the surrounding environment.

The walls on both sides of the passage are still engraved with those mysterious runes, as if telling ancient stories.

"These runes seem to be a kind of guidance." Bi Yao said as he observed the runes.

She recalled the archaeological books she had read in modern libraries, which contained some records about symbols of ancient civilizations that were strikingly similar to the runes before her.

"If my guess is correct, the direction indicated by these runes is the core of the ruins."

Li Yuan followed Bi Yao closely, his hands always on her shoulders, giving her support and a sense of security.

"Yaoyao, you are so amazing! I didn't expect that you even know the writings of ancient immortals." There was a hint of pride and admiration in his tone.

Bi Yao smiled slightly and continued to move forward in the direction indicated by the rune.

The passage twists and turns, seemingly without end.

After walking for a long time, the view suddenly opened up and a huge underground space appeared in front of the two people.

In the center of the underground space stands a towering altar, on which is placed a huge crystal ball.

The crystal ball emitted dazzling light, illuminating the entire space.

The surrounding walls are engraved with more complex runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"Is this the core of the ruins?" Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the scene in front of him.

Bi Yao nodded, excitement glittering in her eyes.

"Yes, this should be the core of the ruins." She walked to the altar and looked at the crystal ball carefully.

"This crystal ball should be the core treasure of the ruins."

Suddenly, the runes around the altar began to flicker, and a powerful force emanated from the crystal ball.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan instantly felt a huge pressure, as if the entire space was about to collapse.

"Not good!" Bi Yao's face changed and she hurriedly pulled Li Yuan back.

"The power of this crystal ball is too strong, we must be careful!"

At this moment, the ground around the altar began to shake, and cracks appeared on the ground.

The cracks grew bigger and bigger, as if something was about to come out from the ground.

"Yaoyao, look!" Li Yuan exclaimed, pointing to the bottom of the altar.

Bi Yao looked in the direction of Li Yuan's finger and saw a huge black shadow slowly rising from below the altar...

"What is that..." Bi Yao's voice stopped abruptly.

What slowly rose from the ground was actually a huge mechanical beast!

It is made entirely of unknown metal, shining with a cold luster.

The mechanical beast's eyes flashed a dangerous red, and its sharp claws were dripping with a sticky, oily substance.

It roared, a deafening metallic shriek that echoed through the ancient chamber, the sound seeming to vibrate their bones.

"Mechanical beast?!" Li Yuan exclaimed. He had never seen such a strange creature.

Bi Yao's expression also grew serious. The aura emitted by this mechanical beast far exceeded that of any enemy they had encountered before.

The mechanical beast brandished its huge claws and attacked them with thunderous force.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan dodged quickly and barely avoided the attack.

"Its attack power is too strong, ordinary spells can't cause any damage to it!" Li Yuan shouted while dodging the mechanical beast's attack.

Bi Yao narrowed her eyes and carefully observed the movements of the mechanical beast.

She found that the mechanical beast's attacks, although powerful, were somewhat clumsy, and its abdomen seemed to be its weak point.

"Li Yuan, attract its attention. I'll attack its abdomen!"

Li Yuan understood what he meant, and swung the sword in his hand, with sword energy running wild, attracting the mechanical beast's attention to himself.

Bi Yao took the opportunity to go around behind the mechanical beast, condensed a powerful spiritual power in his hand, and hit the mechanical beast's abdomen hard.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the mechanical beast's abdomen was hit by Bi Yao's attack, and sparks flew everywhere.

The mechanical beast began to shake and its movements became sluggish.

Seeing the opportunity, Bi Yao once again concentrated his spiritual power and continuously attacked the mechanical beast's abdomen.

Finally, under Bi Yao's fierce attack, the mechanical beast let out a wail and fell to the ground with a bang.

The two cautiously approached the now motionless mechanical beast.

Bi Yao carefully pried open a panel on the mechanical beast's abdomen, revealing a pulsating crystal that hummed with an otherworldly energy.

It has a warm, almost inviting glow, but it feels…

Somewhat uneasy.

"This must be its energy core." Li Yuan stared at the crystal and said softly.

Bi Yao stretched out her hand and gently touched the crystal.

As her fingers brushed the crystal's surface, a surge of energy washed over her, and images flashed through her mind: swirling nebulae, collapsing stars, and the birth of worlds.

She quickly pulled her hand away, her heart hammering in her chest.

"This... this is more than just a power core," she whispered, her voice trembling.

She looked at Li Yuan, her eyes wide with awe and fear.

"I think... I think it's closely related to the structure of this world." She reached out to touch the crystal again, a strange urge pulling her...

"Yaoyao, stop!" Li Yuan grabbed her hand. "Something feels wrong..."
