Chapter 341 Spirit Butterfly
Chapter 341 Spirit Butterfly
The stone hall was filled with an old atmosphere, and dim firelight flickered on the walls, as if telling an ancient story.
Wei Wuxian looked around curiously, occasionally reaching out to touch the wall, muttering, "This stone hall looks eerie. I wonder what treasures are hidden there. Maybe we can find something that will greatly increase our strength."
Lan Wangji nodded slightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.
As they walked, a huge circular stone platform appeared in front of them, with complex runes engraved all around it.
The rune emits a faint light and seems to contain powerful power.
Wei Wuxian ran over excitedly. Just as he was about to step onto the stone platform, Lan Wangji grabbed him and said, "Be careful, there's a trap."
Wei WuXian chuckled, "Lan Zhan, you are cautious, but I feel at ease with you around."
As they spoke, the two cautiously approached the stone platform. As they approached, the runes glowed brightly, and the stone platform slowly rose, revealing a passage leading underground.
"Wow, it looks like there's another world down there!" Wei Wuxian looked excited and took the lead in walking towards the passage.
The passage was filled with a damp smell, and the walls were inlaid with gems that emitted a faint glow, making the passage seem a little eerie.
Suddenly, a group of strange-looking puppets emerged from both sides of the passage.
They brandished their weapons and rushed towards Wangxian and the others.
Wei WuXian laughed heartily, "Good timing! It's a good time to stretch my muscles!"
After saying this, he played the Chenqing quickly, and the puppets' movements instantly became slow.
Lan Wangji took the opportunity to swing the Bichen Sword, and each strike accurately stabbed the puppet's vital points.
In an instant, the puppets fell down one after another, and their parts were scattered all over the ground.
"Lan Zhan, why do so many puppets appear?"
"I don't know."
After dealing with the puppets, they continued forward and a huge stone door appeared at the end of the passage.
There is a mysterious pattern carved on the stone gate, like an immortal pointing in some direction.
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji carefully observed the pattern, trying to find a way to open the stone door.
At this moment, Wei Wuxian discovered that there were several raised runes on the pattern, and their shapes were somewhat similar to the runes on the stone platform before.
He tentatively pressed the runes in a certain order, and the stone door slowly opened, and a powerful spiritual power rushed towards him.
"Be careful!" Lan Wangji pulled Wei Wuxian behind him.
"Lan Zhan, it's okay, let's go in and take a look!"
The two walked in.
The surrounding walls were inlaid with gems emitting soft light, making the entire space look like a dream.
There is a huge pool of spiritual power in the center. The spiritual power in the pool is like boiling liquid, constantly rolling and surging, emitting a charming halo.
Wei Wuxian asked doubtfully, "Lan Zhan, this place..."
Lan Wangji said softly, "There's a lot of spiritual energy here, I'm afraid there's something fishy going on."
Wei Wuxian walked towards the spiritual power pool regardless, squatted down and felt the surging spiritual power with his hands.
Suddenly, a column of spiritual power surged out of the spiritual power pool, rushed straight to the roof, and then turned into countless spiritual butterflies flying in the air.
Wei Wuxian stood up and grabbed a spirit butterfly, but the original spirit butterfly suddenly turned black.
It also pricked Wei Wuxian's hand in an instant, causing him to feel pain.
Wei Wuxian retracted his hand in pain, and the black butterfly turned back into its original form and flew away.
Lan Wangji hurried forward to check his injuries, frowning, "Wei Ying, how is it?"
Wei WuXian waved his hand and said with a smile, “It’s nothing, just a minor injury.”
But having said that, he still felt a tingling sensation coming from the wound, which gradually spread along his arm.
The two were about to explore the strangeness of this spirit pool when suddenly a low buzzing sound was heard around them.
Immediately afterwards, the ground began to shake violently, and the spiritual power in the spiritual power pool surged wildly, as if trying to break free from the constraints of the pool.
Lan Wangji held Wei Wuxian's hand tightly, his eyes firm: "Don't panic, I'm here."
As the tremors intensified, some strange images appeared on the surrounding walls, as if a great battle had once taken place here.
At this moment, Wei Wuxian's injured hand rose uncontrollably, and a stream of black air escaped from the wound and merged into the spiritual power pool.
In an instant, the spiritual power pool calmed down and everything around it returned to normal. Only a few spiritual butterflies remained in the air, gently flapping their wings, as if the danger had never happened.
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji looked at each other, their hearts full of confusion, but they also knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long.
The two of them quickly exited the stone gate.
Lan Wangji nervously took Wei Wuxian's hand and examined it carefully.
"Lan Zhan, I'm fine." After saying that, he pulled his hand back from Lan Wangji.
Lan Wangji frowned, "Wei Ying, don't be careless."
Wei Wuxian smiled helplessly: "Lan Zhan, it's really okay. Look, my wound is almost healed."
Lan Wangji still looked worried, but he also knew that Wei Wuxian was a carefree person, and if he kept pestering him, he would definitely think he was nagging.
"Okay, Lan Zhan! Let's find a place to rest first." Wei Wuxian changed the subject after seeing Lan Wangji's expression.
The two found a relatively secluded cave to rest.
Lan Wangji gathered some branches and started a fire. Wei Wuxian sat down against the cave wall and jokingly said, seemingly relaxed, "This is really exciting today. Lan Zhan, how do you think that spirit butterfly suddenly turned black and hurt people?"
Lan Wangji shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
Suddenly, Wei Wuxian felt dizzy, and he tried hard not to let Lan Wangji notice.
However, Lan Wangji was so perceptive that he immediately realized something was wrong and reached out to support him: "Wei Ying!"
Wei WuXian forced a smile. "Maybe there's still some residual effects from what happened just now. I'll be fine after a while of rest."
But his face became paler and paler, and his lips gradually lost their color.
Lan Wangji was extremely anxious. He took out a pill and fed it to Wei Wuxian.
After a while, Wei Wuxian's condition did not improve.
Lan Wangji decided to take Wei Wuxian away from here and return to the Cloud Recesses first.
He carried the weakened Wei Wuxian on his back and cast a spell as he headed towards the Cloud Recesses.
On the way, Wei Wuxian leaned on Lan Wangji's back in a daze and whispered, "Lan Zhan, if something really happens to me, you must not be too sad..."
Lan Wangji interrupted him: "It's okay, Wei Ying, I will protect you."
