Ruan Tang stretched out her finger, her slender white fingertip stopping an inch above the black stone.
She didn't touch it, but instead separated a wisp of spiritual energy to wrap around her hand, wanting to test it.
Before she could transfer her spiritual energy, a cold, sticky sensation, accompanied by a faint pulse, had already traveled through the air.
One after another.
Ruan Tang's face paled, and she murmured, "It's breathing..."
This feels so eerie.
She suddenly turned to look at Yan Yu, her almond-shaped eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
"Brother, I'll go down and take a look."
Yan Yu didn't say a word, took a long stride, and jumped directly into the pit.
The soft soil didn't even make a muffled sound.
He turned around and stretched out his strong arm toward Ruan Tang by the pit.
As soon as Ruan Tang put her hand up, he pulled her down and held her firmly in his arms, her back pressed tightly against his burning chest.
A putrid, pungent stench wafted over, but it was completely dispelled by his domineering, chilling aura.
Ruan Tang walked around the black stone, her brows furrowed in worry.
Something's not right...
She crouched down and touched the worm-like black and red "veins" with her fingertips.
It was both icy and hard.
It is neither a plant root nor an animal sinew.
"Life was drained away, and we couldn't even escape this mountain..."
"It was circling in the mountains."
Ruan Tang closed her eyes, and a wisp of her divine sense probed into them like the tip of a knife.
In an instant, she "saw" it!
The green lights covering the mountains and fields were forcibly pulled out from the rocks and vegetation by a bullying force, poured into the black and red pipes, and rushed towards the big black rock!
But as soon as they got to the rock, it was like hitting a wall!
"Bang!"
Most of the energy was violently deflected back, and only a tiny wisp was painstakingly swallowed by the black stone.
It's like a water pump with a hole in it, pumping like crazy while leaking like crazy, it's all for nothing!
"I understand!"
Ruan Tang suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes shining with an alarming intensity.
"It's not eating, it's transporting!"
She looked up at Yan Yu, her words flying: "This formation was originally meant to transport the life force of the entire mountain to another place through this stone!"
"But for some reason, the route out was blocked!"
"Or rather, it might be a half-finished product! It can't be taken away after it's taken out, so it can only wander aimlessly in the mountains!"
Yan Yu stared calmly at the stone before him. "This shouldn't be something an ordinary person could do."
“This is definitely not something an ordinary person could do…” Ruan Tang shook her head. “Brother, this formation is useless now, but it’s precisely because it’s useless that it’s even more dangerous, like a boiler about to explode…”
Before he could finish speaking, a frantic commotion erupted in Yan Yu's space.
"Chirp! Chirp chirp!"
It's a newbie!
The little thing was like a glutton who hadn't eaten for eight hundred years, smelling meat, jumping up and down anxiously in the space, itching for food.
Yan Yu frowned, his face clearly saying "So annoying."
Ruan Tang's eyes lit up instantly.
"Brother, let it out!"
Yan Yu's mind raced.
With a flash of white light, Little White fell face-first onto the soft mud at the bottom of the pit with a "plop".
Just as it was about to get up and bark loudly in Yan Yu's direction, its little nose suddenly twitched.
Those dark purple, beady eyes widened instantly.
They locked onto that large black rock!
"grumble--!"
A sharp, bright howl filled with boundless longing and ecstasy!
The little white mouse transformed into a streak of white lightning and pounced straight at it!
Its mithril claws gleamed with a chilling light in the dim light, and with a "ripping" sound, they slammed into the black stone!
