"Watch out!" Mu Xue's shouts echoed through the empty wilderness, but they could not stop the impending danger.
A dark shadow descended from the sky, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, heading straight for Ning Yu's face. Ning Yu reacted quickly, enduring the pain, and dodged the fatal blow. The shadow missed its target, crashing heavily into a pile of rocks not far away with a deafening thud.
"A winged bat?!" Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that the attacker of Ning Yu was a huge mutated winged bat. Its entire body was as black as ink, its blood-red eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, and its sharp claws gleamed with a chilling light in the sunlight.
"Damn it, this beast is never going to stop!" one of the team members couldn't help but curse.
It turned out that the winged bats did not retreat after their leader's death; instead, they launched an even more frenzied attack on Ning Yu and his group. They were numerous and exceptionally fierce, and although the team members fought valiantly, they gradually found themselves overwhelmed.
"I'll deal with it. You guys hurry up and study the formation!" Ning Yu said, and then stepped forward to fight the mutated winged bat.
"No, your injuries haven't healed yet, you can't take any more risks!" Mu Xue grabbed him and said firmly.
"But……"
"No buts!" Mu Xue interrupted him. "Leave this to me. You're in charge of breaking the formation. That's an order!"
Seeing Mu Xue's determined gaze, Ning Yu knew he couldn't refuse, so he nodded, turned around and went back to his teammates to continue studying the strange formation.
Mu Xue, wielding two sharp daggers, confronted the enormous mutated winged bat. Agile and swift, she skillfully weathered the bat's attacks, occasionally finding opportunities to inflict serious damage. However, the bat possessed thick hide and remarkable regenerative abilities, quickly recovering from injuries, making her initially unable to defeat it.
Time passed slowly, and darkness gradually fell. The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and the biting wind began to chill the team members, some of whom, being weaker, started shivering.
"Captain, this formation is too complicated. We've tried all sorts of methods, but we can't find a way to break it," a team member said dejectedly.
Ning Yu frowned, his expression grave. He knew that the longer the situation dragged on, the worse it would be for them. However, the formation was strange and unpredictable, and he was completely clueless about it.
Just then, one of the team members seemed to suddenly realize something and pointed to a black stone tablet in the center of the formation, saying, "Captain, look over there, isn't that the key to the formation?"
Ning Yu followed his finger and saw that the black stone tablet was covered with dense runes, exuding an eerie aura... In order to investigate, one of the team members gritted his teeth and walked towards the stone tablet... "Wait!" Ning Yu suddenly looked up, trying to stop the team member who had already rushed out, but it was too late.
As the team member drew closer to the stone tablet, just as he reached out to touch it, a powerful energy surge erupted from it, hurling him away like an invisible giant wave.
"Xiao Li!" everyone exclaimed, rushing towards the team member.
He lay motionless on the ground, his face as pale as paper, his breath weak, clearly having suffered a severe injury.
"How could this happen?!" a team member muttered to himself in a daze, his eyes filled with terror and despair.
"It's all my fault, I was too impulsive..." The injured team member struggled to get up, but was held down by the others.
"Don't talk nonsense. The most important thing now is to save your life!" Ning Yu said in a deep voice, a hint of self-blame and pain flashing in his eyes.
He endured the pain in his body, sat cross-legged on the ground, and tried to mobilize the mysterious power within him. He knew that only by relying on this power could they possibly break through this strange formation; otherwise, they would all die here.
With Ning Yu's will, a crystal-clear jade pendant slowly emerged from his chest, radiating a soft light. This jade pendant was a treasure he had unexpectedly obtained after transmigrating, possessing immense power.
Ning Yu formed hand seals and chanted incantations. The light from the jade pendant grew brighter and brighter, gradually forming a huge light shield that enveloped everyone.
"rise!"
With a low shout from Ning Yu, the light shield suddenly expanded outward, colliding with the strange formation.
boom!
With a deafening roar, the heavens and earth trembled, a fierce wind howled, and the ground shook violently.
The two powerful forces collided, and the resulting energy fluctuations swept outwards like a raging storm.
The powerful energy surge knocked everyone to the ground, their ears filled with a deafening roar, their vision blurred, and they could see nothing clearly.
After an unknown amount of time, the energy fluctuations gradually subsided.
Ning Yu slumped to the ground, pale-faced, with a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, clearly suffering from internal injuries.
He looked up at the strange formation and found that its light was even brighter than before, clearly indicating that it had not been greatly affected.
"How could this be..." A look of despair flashed in Ning Yu's eyes. Was there really no way out?
"Ayu, how are you?" Mu Xue rushed to Ning Yu's side anxiously and supported his swaying body.
"I'm fine," Ning Yu shook his head, "It's just this formation..."
“There must be other ways,” Mu Xue comforted her. “Let’s think about it again, there’s bound to be a way…”
Ning Yu was silent for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something, grabbed Mu Xue's arm and said urgently, "Ancient books, there might be records in ancient books!"
Mu Xue was taken aback, then understood, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes.
