Chapter 128 Spiritual Energy Storm 9
Lin Xia's eyes lit up with surprise; groundwater—finally, there was a way to go.
Jiang Yansheng also thought of the direction the flying needle had gone, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected that what his master said was actually true.
But didn't Master say that there can only be one chosen one? How come another one has appeared? His eyes were full of curiosity.
As the first stone fell, more and more stones began to fall, and those who were nearby immediately jumped into the underground river.
The people nearby waited for a while, and seeing that nothing had happened to the others, they immediately jumped down as well.
Lin Xia dodged the falling rocks with precision, which was no problem for someone with skills honed in the mental strength training device.
The underground river was icy cold and the current was rapid. Stones kept falling from above. Lin Xia dived into the water to avoid the falling stones, and the river water quickly became murky.
To conserve her energy, Lin Xia took out the [Diving Bead], and her body quickly dried, allowing her to move more freely.
To avoid the collapsed area, she sped forward with the current.
She didn't resist the current, but walked forward with it, and found that there were hardly any creatures at the bottom of the water. Occasionally she would see one or two, but they were swimming upstream and heading to deeper water.
Lin Xia was somewhat tempted by where they were going, but she really disliked being underground. There was always a sense of oppression and unease about it, making her feel insecure.
She drifted downstream with the current, and people went into the water and showed off their skills.
Jiang Yansheng followed not far behind Lin Xia with the water-repelling bead in hand. The two beads seemed to have similar effects, but in fact they were completely different.
Unfortunately, Lin Xia couldn't back up anything here.
Others took out small boats, some had water-type spirit beasts, and some had water-type spiritual roots, but they were all quickly swept away by the current.
His cultivation level at the Qi Refining stage was still too low. Most of the space behind him was filled with rocks that had fallen down, and he didn't know how the fish were going to get across.
They drifted downstream until the next morning, when they saw light again, having drifted all night.
Lin Xia climbed ashore, still somewhat dazed. It was only the second day of the game. She threw the jade slip from the storage bag she had picked up on the road into her spatial storage and used the [Water Element Card] to dry herself off.
She found the storage bag on the corpse. She didn't know why the body died, and Lin Xia had been careful the whole way, but nothing happened.
This jade slip was a basic spell slip from her storage bag. It contained some basic spells of the five elements. She memorized the incantations and hand gestures, but it had no effect on the energy within her body.
Lin Xia wasn't sure if it would work on other superpowers, so she planned to write them all down and have someone try them out when she got back.
There were also some basic cultivation techniques in the storage bag, but Lin Xia dared not try them. She knew that the spiritual energy in this world was like a bomb, and she didn't want to court death.
After comparing the map for a long time, she still couldn't tell where she was. The ancient trees here were towering, and the thinnest ones were more than a meter in diameter. The ground was covered with lush weeds.
Not seeing anyone else, Lin Xia didn't make any rash moves and used her mental energy to scan her surroundings.
Just then, the sound of rushing water came from behind them, and Jiang Yansheng emerged with injuries. Lin Xia was somewhat surprised, but then it dawned on her that the attack on them was likely due to spiritual energy.
Although there were no major changes underwater, the fish and monsters inside may have mutated, which is why they attacked those with spiritual power. Now, the misunderstanding has deepened.
Sure enough, seeing that she was completely unharmed, Jiang Yansheng's eyes revealed what he was thinking. Lin Xia couldn't explain it; this kind of thing could very well happen again in the future. An explanation based on luck was more plausible than being misunderstood as carrying a great treasure.
Thinking about this, she suddenly realized that Jiang Yansheng might not be what he seemed, and there might be other people involved. Her situation was actually quite dangerous.
If she hadn't revealed her elemental abilities, she could have claimed to be a body cultivator. But to survive, she knew many people would see her using elemental abilities on the street, which was troublesome.
"My vigilance is too low," Lin Xia warned herself inwardly. She distributed her mental energy around herself, and the moment Jiang Yansheng stepped ashore, she sensed something had changed. A long sword appeared in her hand, and throwing knives swirled around him.
Jiang Yansheng stopped and looked around warily, especially at Lin Xia. But seeing that she also looked wary, and considering that he had been following her all along, he couldn't set up the formation so quickly.
Neither of them moved, and the surrounding environment gradually changed. Countless sharp blades flew towards them. Lin Xia's expression was serious. He tentatively blocked with his long sword and found that he could block it. He then spun around quickly to dodge, leaving afterimages as he swung his long sword.
Lin Xia knew she had encountered a formation. She used her mental energy to cover the entire area, trying to find a flaw, but she didn't understand formations and really didn't know what a flaw was or what the truth was.
Jiang Yansheng pointed to a spot and said, "Use fire magic, attack together!"
Lin Xia held the [Fire Element Card] in his hand, paused for a moment, and then a large fireball shot out, rushing towards the direction Jiang Yansheng pointed, along with the huge fireball he had launched.
A series of cracking sounds rang out, and the golden arrow vanished instantly. A wave of heat swept over them, and they were suddenly surrounded by a sea of fire. Water elemental energy formed a protective shield around them, an application method that Lin Xia had learned from the magic here.
Jiang Yansheng stood there calmly, surrounded by a protective shield, making calculations with his hands and chanting incantations. After a short while, he pointed and said, "Here, use water-based attacks."
Lin Xia looked at him without moving. Jiang Yansheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "This is the Five Elements Formation. I am not proficient in formations, so I can only calculate the nodes, not break the formation directly."
"Although the Five Elements Formation is an ordinary formation, it has a unique characteristic: the longer it lasts, the greater its power becomes. It needs to be broken quickly with spells that counteract each other; otherwise, the five elements will continue to generate each other, making it increasingly difficult to break."
Lin Xia nodded, and together with Jiang Yansheng, the water energy surged, directly breaking the fire formation.
The moment it broke, the ground surged and water gushed out. Lin Xia reacted, fixed her legs, and saw spikes appear underground. Lin Xia's mental power always allowed her to detect and dodge them first.
This means both departments came together.
Jiang Yansheng's protective shield remained intact, blocking all attacks. He frowned, holding a spirit stone in his hand: "The Five Elements Formation is not difficult to break. These people set up this formation probably to deplete our spiritual power."
"If this continues, our spiritual energy will be exhausted. Even if we break the formation, we'll likely face another fierce battle once we get out, which will be very disadvantageous for us."
"Don't worry, the Five Elements have already broken through two, we still have time. The Five Elements won't be fully restored so quickly," Jiang Yansheng explained again.
Lin Xia knew that the people outside were definitely waiting for them to run out of spiritual energy. Although she had no spiritual energy, she couldn't reveal that: "What would happen if we didn't use the power of the five elements to break the formation?"
“Without using the power of the five elements, more spiritual energy would be required,” Jiang Yansheng shook his head.
"Won't something bad happen?"
"No, on the contrary, if we break it, it will be faster because our Five Elements attack is actually replenishing the formation's energy." In other words, breaking the formation is essentially like them attacking themselves.
Where will this attack take place?
"Huh? Oh, here." Jiang Yansheng realized what was happening and quickly pointed.
Lin Xia decisively pulled out a rocket launcher.
