Chapter 122: Spiritual Source Encounters Obstacles, Small Victory Expected
Yan Yue tapped the stalactites lightly with her toes, used the force to leap upwards, and deftly avoided another dive from the spirit bird.
The top of the cave was covered with strange rocks. Yan Yue was agile, leaping and moving between the stone walls like a clever monkey, using the complex terrain to deal with the spirit bird.
The spirit bird was extremely fast and almost caught Yan Yue several times.
The sharp claws left deep scratches on the stone wall, and gravel flew everywhere.
Although Yan Yue tried his best to dodge, he was still scratched several times by the spirit bird's attack.
There was a burning pain in the arms and thighs, and bright red blood flowed down the wounds.
"Hiss..." Yan Yue gasped, the pain slowing her movements slightly. But her eyes remained firm, showing no sign of retreat.
When the spirit bird saw Yan Yue injured, it let out a sharp cry, as if mocking her for overestimating her own abilities.
It flapped its wings again and flew high, hovering above Yan Yue's head, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Yan Yue looked up at the circling spirit bird, secretly calculating in his mind.
A head-on fight would definitely not work, as this spirit bird's speed and strength far surpassed hers.
We must find a way to resolve the current crisis.
Inside the cave, spiritual energy is abundant, and faint traces of light blue light can be seen flowing in the air.
This is the power of spiritual source.
Yan Yue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
In her previous life, she had seen a secret technique for communicating with spirit beasts in an ancient book.
It is said that this secret technique can establish a spiritual connection with spiritual animals, thereby resolving hostility.
"Let's try it!" Yan Yue thought to herself. She slowly raised her right hand, palm facing up, and silently recited the spell recorded in ancient books.
As the spell was chanted, a faint golden light emanated from Yan Yue's palm. This golden light was soft and warm, as if it carried some kind of magical power.
The spirit bird hovering in the air seemed to sense this power, its chirping gradually became lower, and the hostility in its eyes also slightly weakened.
The light blue light around her also flickered, as if Lingyuan was responding to her action.
At this moment, a deep voice came from the cave entrance: "As expected of Yan Yue, you can actually think of using this method..."
The golden light in Yan Yue's palm became more and more dazzling, and the ancient spell flowed out of her mouth, as if carrying some mysterious rhythm.
A strange energy fluctuation permeated the air, and the light blue light in the cave also rhythmically vibrated, reflecting the golden light in Yan Yue's palm.
The spirit bird's originally fierce eyes gradually softened. It slowly landed and hovered above Yan Yue's head, curiously looking at this human emitting golden light.
"I know it's not easy for you to protect the spiritual source," Yan Yue's voice was soft but firm, with a hint of comfort. "I have no ill intentions. I just want to borrow a little spiritual power to help me practice."
Lingque tilted its head, as if trying to understand Yan Yue's words.
It made a low hum, like a response, but also like a question.
The surrounding forbidden light flickered more violently, as if it was hesitating and weighing the pros and cons.
At this moment, the deep voice from the cave entrance sounded again, with a hint of sarcasm: "Naive! How could the spirit bird listen to your sweet talk?"
A shadow flashed, and a man in black appeared at the entrance of the cave. He exuded a cold aura, and his eyes were filled with greed and murderous intent.
"Looking for death!" Yan Yue's eyes flashed, and she dropped her pretense. She quickly retracted the golden light in her palm, and her spiritual power surged. The powerful strength of the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation instantly erupted!
"You..." The man in black obviously didn't expect Yan Yue to hide his strength, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But Yan Yue didn't give him a chance to react. She quickly formed seals with her hands and shouted, "Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder!"
A dazzling purple lightning shot out from her fingertips and hit the spirit bird directly.
Although the spirit bird was powerful, it was caught off guard and was hit by the sudden attack. It let out a shrill cry and staggered backward.
"Hmph, a mere trifle!" The man in black snorted coldly, and a black sword appeared in his hand, the sword emitting a cold light.
Yan Yue ignored the man in black. She took advantage of the opportunity when the spirit bird retreated and used her skills again to get closer to the spirit source.
She knew that this was just a small victory and the real challenge was still ahead.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the cave entrance: "Yuer!"
Nong Jin appeared at the entrance of the cave. Seeing Yan Yue injured, he rushed over with heartache...
After Nong Jin got rid of Gu Feng, he flashed and appeared next to Yan Yue.
Seeing the blood at the corner of her mouth, he felt heartbroken and hugged her in his arms.
"Yuer! How are you?" His low voice was full of worry, and his deep eyes were full of tenderness.
Yan Yue leaned on his warm chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She shook her head gently, "I'm fine, just some minor injuries." Nong Jin's appearance gave her great strength, as if all the difficulties became insignificant.
At this moment, the black shadow that had been lurking in the dark saw that Yan Yue and Ling Que were both injured, and thought that there was an opportunity, so it finally showed up.
His figure floated like a ghost, heading straight to the depths of the cave - where the spiritual source was!
"Trying to fish in troubled waters?" Yan Yue sneered. Although he leaned in Nong Jin's arms, he did not relax his vigilance at all.
She had long sensed the hidden aura in the dark, but she pretended not to know and lured the snake out of its hole.
The black shadow was moving at an extremely fast speed and would reach the spiritual source in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Yan Yue flicked his fingertips, and a seemingly inconspicuous golden light shot out and hit the black shadow's ankle silently.
The black shadow paused and its speed dropped sharply.
This seemingly simple spell contained Yan Yue's precise control over spiritual power, which interfered with his actions just right and exposed his flaws.
"You're quite capable!" The black shadow steadied his body, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman actually possessed such keen insight and precise control.
Yan Yue's lips curled up in a mocking arc, but he didn't answer.
She slowly stood up from Nong Jin's arms, spiritual power surged around her body, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire cave.
The spirit bird felt the pressure, chirped uneasily, and retreated again.
"Yu'er, let me do it." Nong Jin held Yan Yue's hand tightly, a cold glint in his eyes. He was surrounded by a golden light, and the majesty of the Immortal Emperor was unmistakable.
Yan Yue shook her head slightly, "No, this is my battle." She looked directly at the black shadow with a firm gaze, her tone cold, "Today, let me meet you!" After she finished speaking, golden light shone brightly in her hands, and a dazzling golden beam of light rushed straight towards the black shadow... "You don't know your own limitations!" The black shadow snorted coldly, waving the black sword in his hand to meet the golden beam of light.
The golden light and black air intertwined, making a sharp explosion sound, and the entire cave shook violently... Nong Jin stood beside Yan Yue, his eyes fixed on the battle situation, ready to take action at any time.
Yan Yue's eyes were sharp, the golden light in his hands kept changing, and every move was deadly.
Although the black shadow was quite powerful, it gradually fell behind the combined forces of Yan Yue and Nong Jin...
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from deep within the cave, and the entire space began to distort and deform... Nong Jin grabbed Yan Yue's hand and whispered, "Be careful!" The roar coming from deep within the cave was not a riot of the spiritual source, but a trick of the black shadow!
He made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, taking advantage of the moment when Yan Yue and Nong Jin were distracted, and actually sacrificed a black bead. The bead emitted a strange aura and instantly swallowed up the spirit bird!
The black shadow laughed wildly: "The power of this companion spirit beast belongs to me!" The black energy around him surged, and his strength increased to a higher level in an instant.
Yan Yue's eyes flashed. This black shadow was even more cunning than she had imagined!
"Yu'er, be careful!" Nong Jin stood in front of Yan Yue, and the golden immortal power turned into a barrier to resist the black energy from the black shadow.
Yan Yue was not panicked. She curled up the corner of her mouth into a sneer, raised her hand lightly, and a golden talisman appeared out of thin air and went straight towards the black shadow.
"A mere trifle!" The black shadow looked down on the rune and swung his sword to break it.
However, the rune suddenly exploded at the moment it was about to touch the sword blade, turning into countless tiny golden light spots, which instantly penetrated into the black shadow's body!
The black shadow's face suddenly changed. He felt a violent energy raging in his body, as if it was going to tear him apart!
He groaned and staggered back.
"I said, this is my battle." Yan Yue's voice was as cold as ice. She walked towards the shadow step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on the shadow's heart.
"You...what did you do?" the black shadow asked in horror. He felt his strength was rapidly draining away.
Yan Yue sneered: "I just want you to taste the feeling of being swallowed." The roar sounded again, and deep in the cave, where the spiritual source was, complex restrictions emerged, flashing with mysterious light.
Yan Yue stood in front of the restriction with a deep look in her eyes. She knew that the real challenge had just begun... "These restrictions..." Nong Jin walked to Yan Yue's side with a serious tone.
Yan Yue reached out and gently touched the restriction, and a strange energy wave came...
