Chapter 146 Perilous Situation in the South
Chapter 146 Perilous Situation in the South
Inside the dimensional space, Xi Xi got up cursing and stared intently at the figures of Chen Xiao and the others on the light screen, pacing anxiously.
"I told them not to go south, why did they still head south!" she cried anxiously.
As Chen Xiao and the others ventured deeper into the south, Xi Xi tried to contact Chen Xiao. However, a familiar sense of helplessness instantly overwhelmed her. "Oh no, I can't speak again!"
She was still unwilling to give up and wanted to show herself to contact Chen Xiao, but she found that there seemed to be an invisible force blocking her. "I still can't even show myself!"
Just then, the screen suddenly went black. Xi Xi was filled with doubt. Then, a line of red text appeared on the dark screen: "This is my host. You are not allowed to take it again!"
The black background with red lettering sent a chill down Xi Xi's spine.
After seeing the contents, Xixi immediately understood whose masterpiece it was.
It's a fake S. It really has been tracking them all along, and this trouble must have been deliberately created by it.
When Xi Xi investigated earlier, she found that the area where Ning Yuyuan was located was extremely strange. She was unable to get any information by going deep into it. The temple also showed abnormal phenomena, especially the southern area of the temple, which was completely outside her investigation range and seemed to be completely wrapped in a thick fog.
Is the host that Fake S is referring to now referring to Yin Yuyao or Chen Xiao?
She no longer has time to worry about these things, because she is well aware of the troublesome and dangerous nature of fake S.
But how could she just stand by and watch Chen Xiao and the others fall into unknown danger?
She paced rapidly through the metaverse, her mind racing, trying to find a way out of her predicament.
Recalling her previous mental confrontation with the fake S, Xi Xi understood that the other party was good at setting up schemes and had great power, but she was not without any power to fight back.
She decided to take the risk and try a different approach since she couldn't contact Chen Xiao directly.
Xi Xi focused her attention, trying to break through the mysterious fog that shrouded the southern area of the temple, even if she could only obtain a single clue.
She mobilized all her energy, transforming it into tiny probe waves that slowly advanced southward.
With each step forward, she faced immense pressure; the invisible resistance seemed intent on crushing her probe waves completely.
However, Xi Xi gritted her teeth and persevered, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, shimmering with a strange light in the dimensional space.
Finally, the probe broke through a small part of the fog, and Xi Xi captured some blurry images: Chen Xiao and the others seemed to have entered an ancient formation, with flashing lights and moving runes around them, while the aura of the fake S lingered faintly in the surroundings.
But the scene vanished in an instant, and the fog closed again.
Xi Xi was not discouraged; she drew inspiration from this brief scene.
She began to simulate the appearance of that ancient formation in the metaverse space, trying to find a way to break it.
As the formation gradually took shape, Xi Xi felt that a subtle connection had been established between her and Chen Xiao and the others.
She strained with all her might to send a message to Chen Xiao through this faint connection: "Don't panic, find the core of the formation and break it!"
Although she didn't know if Chen Xiao could receive it, Xi Xi knew she couldn't give up.
While maintaining contact with Chen Xiao, she continued to study the formation, preparing to provide them with the greatest assistance at the crucial moment and engage in a thrilling battle with the fake S, all in order to rescue Chen Xiao and the others from that dangerous southern region.
Xunyang, south of the temple.
As Chen Xiao and the others were enveloped in the mist, they felt the air around them growing increasingly heavy, and a sense of oppression tightly gripped them.
Just as they were at a loss, Chen Xiao seemed to faintly hear Xi Xi's voice. Overjoyed, she quickly told the others the news.
The group calmed down and carefully observed the patterns of the runes and light around them, trying to find the key point of the formation.
Meanwhile, in the dimensional space, Xi Xi was constantly consuming her own energy in order to maintain her connection with Chen Xiao.
Her figure began to appear somewhat ethereal, but her gaze remained resolute.
At this moment, the fake S seemed to have noticed Xi Xi's actions, and that invisible force began to attack Xi Xi, trying to sever the connection she had finally established.
Xi Xi sensed the attack and could only spare some of her strength to defend herself.
In this difficult moment, she suddenly remembered a special way of circulating energy that she had seen in ancient texts, which might be able to enhance her power and strengthen her connection under these circumstances.
Without hesitation, she tried the method from her memory, and a strange halo appeared around her body.
On Chen Xiao's side, after some effort, they finally discovered a place where the frequency of the runes flashing was different from the others, which might be the core of the formation.
The group worked together, pooling their individual strengths to launch an attack on the core of the formation.
In an instant, the light was dazzling, and a strong fluctuation emanated from the formation.
The fake S was disrupted by this sudden change, and the power it originally intended to use to deal with Xi Xi and trap Chen Xiao and the others began to weaken.
Xi Xi seized the opportunity, unleashing all her remaining power to break through the invisible barrier and appear directly in front of Chen Xiao and the others.
"Quick, let's go! This is a trap set by a fake Z!" Xi Xi shouted.
Before Ning Yuyuan could even ponder why a little girl had appeared out of nowhere, everyone was lifted up by Xixi's power and rushed toward the weakest point in the formation.
Fake S was not willing to accept defeat, so it mobilized its forces again, trying to trap them once more.
But by this time, Chen Xiao and the others had Xi Xi's help, and they worked together to fight the fake S's forces in the final showdown.
In the fierce clash of energy, Chen Xiao and his companions, relying on their unwavering belief and tacit understanding, gradually gained the upper hand and finally successfully escaped from the southern region.
Meanwhile, the fake S watched their departing figures disappear into the darkness, waiting for the next opportunity.
After escaping danger, everyone returned to a safe area.
They breathed a sigh of relief, and the lingering fear in their hearts slowly welled up.
"We really owe you a lot this time. If you hadn't arrived in time, we probably would have been in grave danger," Chen Xiao said gratefully.
Among the crowd, only Ning Yuyuan seemed puzzled when facing Xixi. She had never seen anyone appear out of thin air and possess magical powers.
Ye Yu, Chao Yuan, and Yin Yuyao all know Xi Xi, but they have no intention of helping to explain.
So Ning Yuyuan kept this doubt to herself and didn't ask it.
Xi Xi looked serious and shook her head slightly, "It won't give up until it's completely dealt with."
So, everyone sat together and began to organize their thoughts.
Ning Yuyuan frowned and said, "The area south of that temple is shrouded in mist, which must be hiding some important secret. I felt a mysterious force interfering with my senses when I was inside. Perhaps it's related to its origin. Who is it? What is its purpose?"
Xi Xi remained silent.
At this moment, Yin Yuyao said, "It would be best to leave this place first; it wouldn't dare to cause trouble in a crowded place."
Seeing this, Ning Yuyuan understood that this was a secret about them, so she wisely didn't mention it again.
So everyone nodded in agreement.
