I Can Record Wonders

Chapter 172: Reaching Consensus, the Four Heroes Encounter

"Junior Brother, rest assured, if we can find the 'White Turtle Old Man's' treasure, I only want the 'Crimson Coral'," Shen Bijun said calmly.

Her face remained unchanged, as if nothing could stir her emotions.

In this aspect, she was somewhat similar to the White Lotus Scenic Master.

However, while the White Lotus Scenic Master's face was cold, Shen Bijun's face was indifferent.

Fu Ning glanced at Shen Bijun, then at the collapsed forest behind her, and subconsciously swallowed.

After a moment of hesitation, he took out the white turtle from his bosom.

"A map?" Shen Bijun looked at the white turtle, momentarily stunned, before noticing the lines on its shell.

"This... is a map of the inheritance treasure?!" she exclaimed.

Fu Ning hesitated slightly, then said uncertainly, "This map is incomplete, and there are no annotations on it, but I think it should be related to the inheritance at least."

Shen Bijun's gaze fixed on the map, and she said calmly, "Since there are no other references, why not give it a try?"

Afterwards, she looked at Fu Ning again and repeated, "Rest assured, I only want the 'Crimson Coral'."

Embarrassed, Fu Ning smiled and said, "Senior Sister, you're too kind."

He wasn't worried that she would go back on her word, because Shen Bijun had no sense of direction, and the Secret Realm was filled with traps. If she wanted to find her way out of the maze, she had to rely on herself.

Soon, the two reached a consensus and headed towards the direction marked by the 'White Turtle'.

Although the map on the white turtle seemed inconspicuous, every key location was clearly marked.

In addition, as they progressed, they would clear the way together, so their progress in finding the treasure was much faster.

Splash~

After walking in the direction indicated on the map for about half an incense stick's worth of time, they suddenly heard the faint sound of water.

Fu Ning quickly took out the white turtle and followed the map on it, confirming that they had to cross a river on their way.

"A river?!" Their eyes lit up. With a river as a reference, they wouldn't be afraid of going in the wrong direction.

Moreover, wherever there was a river, it meant that they were getting closer to the location marked by the 'White Turtle' on the map.

Along the way, Fu Ning also made marks of 'big fish' at various points.

It was strange that if this jungle was destroyed, it would regenerate, but if they only left marks on it, the marks wouldn't disappear.

Creating a Secret Realm was actually about establishing rules.

The reason why the Secret Realm created by the 'White Turtle Old Man' could quickly restore its original state was because the destroyed trees would automatically rewind time.

So no matter how much destruction occurred, it would eventually return to its original state.

But if only marks were left, they wouldn't trigger the time reversal, so the marks would continue to exist.

While the two were searching according to the map, the situation of the other disciples was not optimistic.

Senior Brother Zhou Ye wasn't as lucky as Fu Ning. He appeared in a desert where the horizon was nowhere to be seen.

Strong winds blew, and yellow sand filled the sky. In just half a day, he had already swallowed several mouthfuls of sand.

"Damn, I ended up in such a godforsaken place."

"I wonder how Junior Brother and Junior Sister are doing?"

He struggled to climb up a hill, and his plump body was put to the test.

But when he reached the top of the sand dune, he furrowed his brows involuntarily.

"Why did it change again?!"

Just like the jungle, this desert also concealed a formation rule.

The shifting sands would change their positions due to the strong winds, causing people to lose their way.

Zhou Ye had already crossed several sand dunes, but each time the scene he saw was different.

Even though it was the same sand dune, the scene he saw this time was different from what he saw after a cup of tea's time.

"Where could the formation's core be?"

Zhou Ye was covered in sweat, and a trace of exhaustion flashed in his eyes.

The temperature here was his greatest enemy.

He looked up at the sun in the sky and began to contemplate silently.

The 'White Turtle Old Man' was skilled in the evolution of formations, so the most essential part of this Secret Realm must be the changes in the formations.

Without a doubt, there must be hidden changes in this desert.

Since it is a change, there must be a pattern.

As long as we find the pattern, we can find the key to breaking the formation.

"But what is the pattern of this large formation?"

Whoosh~

The sandstorm filled the sky, instantly covering Zhou Ye's eyes.

"Pfft~ Damn it~"

Just as Zhou Ye opened his mouth, he was hit by a mouthful of sand from the strong wind.

He struggled to fend off the sandstorm, and after about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, everything returned to normal.

"This wind is never-ending!"

Just as this thought came up, Zhou Ye suddenly froze in place.

Yes, wind and sand!

"This maze must be related to the strong wind!

The sand dunes change position with the help of the strong wind, which means that as long as we can find the pattern of the strong wind, we will definitely find a clue to get out!"

So even though she was now in the sea of fire, she remained calm.

In addition, there were disciples who appeared on a small island in the lake.

Zhou Ye pondered for a long time, then suddenly his eyes lit up. "Strong wind... strong wind... it's... direction!"

Magma overflowed in the volcano, and the scorching temperature made it difficult to breathe.

When he tapped on the stone, it even made a "clang" sound.

It wasn't until he saw the pieces of ore embedded in the soil on the top of the mine tunnel, shimmering with a golden light.

Together, they formed the Five Elements Formation in the Secret Realm.

...

He walked through the mine tunnel and ended up back where he started.

Suddenly, a green light appeared on the white turtle in the map.

Originally, Chen Mo wanted to use "earth escape" to leave, but he tried several times and hit a wall everywhere.

At the same time, the other members of the "Red Mountain Four Heroes" were also having a hard time.

"This damn thing is a metal ore!"

He couldn't wait to pry a piece of ore from the wall and, under the faint light in the tunnel, saw a faint golden color on the surface of the stone.

But Gan Lan was a disciple of Red Mountain and also skilled in forging, so she was used to this kind of temperature.

...

Only then did he suddenly realize.

The three Scenic Masters opened their eyes at the same time.

"A formation?"

The "White Turtle Map" was suspended in mid-air.

Zhou Ye was in the desert, Gan Lan was in the volcano, Chen Mo was in the mine tunnel, and Fu Ning was in the jungle.

The three Scenic Masters each occupied a position, guarding the scroll in the center.

The mine tunnel was pitch black, with only a faint ray of light entering, reflecting off the metallic luster on the walls.

He appeared in a mine tunnel.

Gan Lan was directly teleported to a volcano.

She was the luckiest one among the four.

Confirming that it was indeed metal.

"But what is the pattern of the strong wind?"

The interior of the mine tunnel was complex, like a huge maze. As he walked along the winding path inside the tunnel, he could faintly hear the sound of dripping water, but nothing else.

The darkness was one thing, but the mine tunnel was complex and interconnected.

And at this moment, on the Ao Tou Island outside the Secret Realm.

Chen Mo's mouth twitched. It seemed that in order to navigate here, he had to learn the secret technique of metal escape.

On the other hand, Senior Brother Chen Mo could be described as "better off dead".
