Jian Ning circled the passage several times, but still had no clue.
Despite his small size, Huang Fugui was an impatient man. He clenched his little fist and slammed it hard against the barrier.
A sudden burst of blue light appeared, and rows of complex runes suddenly emerged on the barrier.
Its punch was unlikely to have any effect on the restriction.
However, these runes gave Jian Ning inspiration. Although she wasn't very proficient in formations, she did have some understanding of runes.
I stopped and watched intently for a while.
After pondering for a long time, she suddenly brushed her hand lightly over one of the rows of runes, and a strange phenomenon occurred. This row of runes actually changed position in response to her gesture.
"There's a way!" Jian Ning thought to herself with secret delight. She told Huang Fugui to wait aside and not to disturb her. Then, she stared intently at the restriction in front of her and began to study it seriously.
Time passed by little by little, and three days flew by.
Huang Fugui paced anxiously in circles, because it was hungry.
My stomach was rumbling loudly.
However, without Jian Ning's permission, the space cannot return on its own.
Unlike the celestial abode where one can freely enter and exit, this place is beneath a pool of water, enveloped by an array, so small even a small fish can't swim through.
If you're thirsty, you can stick your head out and drink some water from the pool. But if you're hungry, there's really nothing to eat.
However, Jian Ning was engrossed in her research on the formation, and it dared not disturb her. It simply transformed into its original form and lay listlessly on the ground. In its human form, the hunger was even more unbearable.
This felt a bit better. More than a day later, Jian Ning finally emerged from that profound state of mind.
Her eyes lit up; after studying this restriction for so many days, she had truly benefited greatly.
I feel that I have made a qualitative leap in my knowledge of array formations and talismans.
At a glance, they saw Huang Fugui lying motionless on the ground, but they were startled. What happened? Wasn't he a child? How did he turn into his original form?
He rushed over and patted it a few times: "Fugui, Huang Fugui, are you alright?"
"Something's wrong, Master! I'm starving! Please give me something to eat!"
Huang Fugui opened his eyes and glanced at her weakly. His voice was barely audible.
"You've been starving for days, is that enough to make you this hungry?" Jian Ning took out a roast chicken from her spatial storage and tossed it to it.
"How could it not be? I'm not just physically hungry, I'm mentally hungry too."
"You should at least give me two meals a day, right? I've been surviving on just the pond water for the past few days; I'm so full of water!"
Huang Fugui's tone was full of resentment as he caught the roast chicken that Jian Ning threw to him with his paws and began to tear into it.
Seeing how much it enjoyed its meal, Jian Ning felt her own stomach was empty, so she went into her spatial dimension, took a nice hot bath, and then brought out the food for a hearty meal.
He slept soundly again. Then he came out and strode to the barrier.
First, I put Huang Fugui back into my spatial storage, just in case the restriction was lifted and I didn't have time to take him with me.
She closed her eyes, focused her mind, and when she opened them again, a faint golden hue appeared in her eyes. The restriction in front of her even showed some tiny cracks in her vision.
Luck was in his hands, and he quickly slid his fingers across the runes.
It was like playing a puzzle game. The runes, following the cracks in a predictable pattern, were constantly shifting direction under her hand. More than an hour passed before a soft click was heard, followed by a flash of light.
She actually managed to open a passage large enough for one person to pass through.
Without hesitation, Jian Ning darted inside, and the passage behind her vanished without a trace.
Dizziness and lightheadedness.
Jian Ning felt like she was on a roller coaster, thankfully she summoned the Purple-Gold Dragon Scale Armor the moment she entered the passage.
She was completely encased in armor, which protected her from the harm caused by the constant high-speed spinning. She didn't know how much time had passed—more than ten minutes, or perhaps just a fleeting moment.
Jian Ning felt like a bullet, shot out in a flash. When she opened her eyes again...
The sky outside was a clear blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds. The bright red sun hung high in the sky, and as far as the eye could see, the grass was lush and green, and a stream flowed gently.
I'm so happy to be back!
He looked for direction in mid-air, grabbed a tree branch not far away, steadied himself, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Returning to the land of humans is much better than being in the land of demons, except that he doesn't know where he is right now. Looking up at the distant mountains, he flew over on his sword.
Sure enough, once they reached the summit, everything became clear. Wasn't this the very place where they had first appeared?
She'd gone in circles and ended up back here. It seemed that as long as she didn't die, this fourth trial wouldn't count as her passing, let alone being thrown out.
With a sigh, he resigned himself to his fate and made his way through the howling wind, following the cable car outside the cave to the treehouse where Xiao Wuyu lived.
Big White seemed to sense her arrival. In a flash, it jumped down from a nearby tree and hugged her tightly, chirping incessantly.
"Okay, it's delicious, right? Here you go." Jian Ning took a roast duck from her spatial storage and handed it to it. Then, she looked up and saw Xiao Wuyu's surprised expression on the treehouse.
"Hi, Brother Xiao, how are you? Long time no see, I'm back."
"Yes, you're back!"
Xiao Wuyu repeated the sentence, a gentle smile appearing on his face. Deep down, he was also eagerly anticipating Jian Ning's return. This strange girl always brought him unexpected surprises.
"Guess what I found when I went down there this time?"
Telling you would definitely shock you. Forget it, let's have a good meal first to celebrate that we can meet again, and then I'll tell you the details." Jian Ning didn't stand on ceremony at all and leaped into the treehouse.
He took five or six kinds of stir-fried dishes from the space and put them on the table, and also took two bottles of beer.
What's a celebration without alcohol?
"Don't rush to eat, are you hungry? What have you been through these days? Tell me about it."
Xiao Wuyu has lost all interest in food. He just wants to know if there's a way out from under the swamp.
"So Brother Xiao is also an impatient person. Alright, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Below is the passage to the Demon Realm. I've been taking a trip to the Demon Realm these past few days."
Jian Ning didn't use a bottle opener; instead, she tapped the bottom of the bottle with her hand, and the cap flew off. She first poured Xiao Wuyu a glass of wine, then smiled slightly: "Brother Xiao, don't be in a hurry. Have some food first, and I'll explain slowly."
