"Durian? Toilet? Are your noses connected?" Lin Yi rolled his eyes. These two clowns always let us down at crucial moments.
He held his breath and carefully observed the strange energy fluctuations on the river surface once more.
The fluctuations were not chaotic, but rather presented a peculiar rhythm, like... a heartbeat?
An indescribable thrill rose from the bottom of Lin Yi's heart. He felt as if he had grasped some key information, but it was like looking at flowers through a fog, hazy and unclear.
He reached out and gently touched the black river water with his fingertips. A bone-chilling cold instantly swept over him, making him shiver involuntarily.
"Hiss... This thing is even colder than the stewed goose in an iron pot in Northeast China!" Lin Yi withdrew his hand, rubbed his fingertips, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
cold?
temperature?
frequency?
"Chu Yao, analyze the frequency and intensity of the energy fluctuations!" Lin Yi suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Yao, his tone filled with excitement.
Chu Yao nodded, her slender fingers flying through the air as streams of data flashed before her eyes.
As a high-level AI life form assistant, this kind of analysis is a piece of cake for her.
“Little Yiyi, the energy fluctuations show periodic changes, with a frequency ranging from 3.14 to 6.28, and the intensity…emmm, it’s probably enough to roast a cow.”
"3.14 to 6.28... twice the value of pi?" Lin Yi muttered to himself, various thoughts colliding and intertwining in his mind like wild horses.
Pi...circle...cycle...could it be...?
"I understand!" Lin Yi slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly, "This energy barrier requires a specific frequency to open a gap!"
He took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming. Space-time manipulation, activated!
Lin Yi formed a hand seal, and an invisible power surged from his body, enveloping the black river surface.
He carefully adjusted the frequency of the energy fluctuations, like a highly skilled pianist playing a symphony of time and space.
The energy fluctuations on the river surface began to oscillate violently, and the black river water churned even more violently, like a volcano about to erupt.
Long Wu and Chu Yao stared at Lin Yi nervously, not daring to breathe.
Finally, when the frequency was adjusted to a specific value, the energy fluctuations on the river surface suddenly calmed down, as if a pause button had been pressed.
Immediately afterwards, a circular gap about two meters in diameter appeared in the middle of the black river, revealing the crystal-clear riverbed below.
"It's done!" Lin Yi clenched his fist excitedly. It's done!
This feeling is even better than snatching a limited edition pair of Air Jordans!
"Little Yi Yi, you're so amazing!" Chu Yao happily jumped into Lin Yi's arms and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
"Ahem..." Long Wu coughed twice, "Hey you two, could you please cross the river before you start showing off your love? This river looks creepy..."
The three carefully stepped into the gap, passed through the energy barrier, and successfully reached the other side of the river.
Across the river lay a desolate scene, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, as if a fierce war had taken place.
Amidst the ruins, several ancient stone tablets stand silently, covered with strange inscriptions.
“This is…ancient script!” Chu Yao recognized the script on the stone tablet at a glance. She walked up to the stone tablet and carefully examined the contents.
"The Forgotten City...the Sleeping Guardian...the Time Rift..." Chu Yao read the words on the stone tablet haltingly, her expression growing increasingly solemn.
"It seems we're one step closer to the 'City of Oblivion'." Lin Yi
Just as they were about to delve deeper into the clues on the stone tablet, a powerful aura suddenly came from afar, pressing down like Mount Tai, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.
"Who?!" Long Wu suddenly drew his long sword from his back and looked around warily.
In the distance, a group of figures dressed in black cloaks slowly approached, their faces covered with ferocious masks and their hands holding weapons that gleamed coldly.
"Who are you people?" Lin Yi asked in a deep voice, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
The leader of the men in black let out a sinister laugh, "We... are here to take your lives..."
Lin Yi's heart clenched; the group of men in black before him were clearly no ordinary enemies.
Their attacks seemed meticulously planned, each one precisely targeting Lin Yi and Long Wu's weaknesses.
The gleaming blade sliced through the air, carrying the aura of death; each dodge felt like dancing on a knife's edge.
"Little Yiyi, their attack frequency is almost perfectly synchronized with our defense frequency!" Chu Yao's voice revealed a hint of urgency, and her eyes gleamed with the light of analyzing data.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He knew that if they continued like this, they would eventually be exhausted.
Just then, a cold wind blew by, as if it were a chill from another world.
In the distance, a blurry figure silently appeared in the night, carrying an indescribable sense of oppression.
The man was dressed in a long black robe, his face hidden by a hood, only his cold eyes revealing a hint of foreboding.
"Who is it?" Long Wu's voice trembled slightly.
The man remained silent, simply standing there as if observing the battle.
The leader of the men in black sneered and swung his weapon again, filling the air with an aura of death.
At this critical moment, the mysterious figure suddenly moved with unbelievable speed, rushing towards the black-clad men's camp in the blink of an eye, striking with lightning speed and instantly changing the course of the battle.
