Chapter 186: Mutual Generation and Restraint, Finding a Kindred Spirit

Wu Kunshan held the white turtle in his arms, as if holding a compass.

He would sometimes face the jungle, sometimes look towards the hills, and occasionally take light steps to reach the junction of the jungle and the rocks.

After a full half an incense stick's worth of time, his feet suddenly stopped, and then he stood facing east, calculating with his fingers.

"This place is where the dragon and snake converge, connecting the green hills. It corresponds to the concept of 'changing formations' in the array."

"And among the five elements, wood restrains earth. Here, facing the green wood and with the hills at our back, it is a situation of mutual restraint. As they say, mutual generation and restraint are necessary for longevity."

"Wood restrains earth, water generates wood! The teleportation array here must be related to water."

Fu Ning listened quietly on the side. Although he had never come into contact with knowledge of arrays before, he had obtained the "Green Wood Seal" from the "Old White Turtle" yesterday, which could be considered as inheriting a part of his legacy.

At this moment, when what Wu Kunshan said matched with what Fu Ning knew, he knew that he was not lying.

"Related to water?"

Fu Ning's gaze narrowed slightly, and unconsciously, the sky had already darkened.

"It's probably too late today."

Senior Sister A Nuo nodded in agreement when she heard this. "In the Secret Realm, the night is more dangerous than the day. It's really not suitable for searching."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other four nodded in agreement.

Soon, the group found a place to rest under the hills.

After a day of long-distance travel, everyone was already exhausted and soon fell asleep leaning against the rock wall.

However, Fu Ning took this opportunity to find an excuse to leave.

His unusual behavior did not attract much attention from the others. Yun Niang originally wanted to go with him, but was firmly rejected by Fu Ning.

After leaving the rock wall alone, Fu Ning divided his attention.

On one hand, he hurried along the road, and on the other hand, he concentrated his mind to sense the location of the Kindred Spirit Bird.

He had inscribed true words on the Kindred Spirit Bird before, and he had discovered that the bird was located near the teleportation array. Now, with a single thought, he indeed felt a response.

Without hesitation, he directly used the "Six Steps Technique" and headed towards the direction of the Kindred Spirit Bird.

According to what Wu Kunshan had said earlier, they were currently in the gap between two regions.

Continuing forward under the moonlight, the dense forest in front gradually gave way to low bushes, while the hills on both sides became higher and higher.

Soon, Fu Ning stopped his steps under a hill.

In the darkness of the night, the hill looked like a towering giant, silent and motionless.

And at the foot of the giant, there were neatly trimmed bushes, just as silent.

The mountain was silent, the grass was soundless, even quieter than the jungle during the day.

Fu Ning's mind turned, and he looked around, only seeing darkness.

"It should be here."

"But where could it be hiding?"

Looking at the darkness before his eyes, Fu Ning fell into contemplation, but soon he had an idea.

With a thought, the "Maple Leaf" true words corresponding to the Kindred Spirit Bird suddenly lit up in his inner vision.

Immediately, a crisp chirping sound came from his ears.

"Chirp!"

Fu Ning's eyes brightened. Unexpectedly, the sound came from the small hill behind him.

"What a coincidence~"

With a thought, snowflake-like illusions appeared all over his body. With a light step, he followed the cliff towards the source of the sound.

After just a few breaths, he saw a dark cave entrance on the top of the hill. A cluster of firelight was shining in the entrance, in the shape of a "Maple Leaf."

"So it's here!"

Immediately, Fu Ning's figure turned, and he jumped into the cave.

The Kindred Spirit Bird never expected that, even though it had hidden itself so well, intense flames suddenly burst out from its body.

What's more, these flames were not only extremely hot, but no matter how it struggled, it couldn't extinguish them.

The knowledgeable bird is skilled in the art of illusion, deceiving the senses and confusing perception, but its own attack power is not strong.

At this moment, as the flames burned, it became completely defenseless.

"Chirp chirp~"

Seeing that the person who arrived was Fu Ning, the knowledgeable bird suddenly struggled even harder.

"Hehe, trying to escape? It won't be so easy this time."

After saying that, Fu Ning directly extended his hand and made a gesture. The shadow of a mysterious snake appeared. Having learned from previous experiences, Fu Ning didn't dare to be careless this time.

The shadow of the mysterious snake started to wrap around the knowledgeable bird's neck, and then its whole body. But that wasn't enough. Finally, the snake's head emerged and bit down on the knowledgeable bird's claw.

"Chirp~"

The knowledgeable bird felt pain and its body twitched.

Seeing that it couldn't move at all, Fu Ning carefully dissipated the flames on the "Maple Leaf" True Words.

"Little guy, let's see how you can escape now."

"Chirp chirp~"

With the flames gone, the knowledgeable bird immediately regained its spirit. However, its whole body was bound by the mysterious snake, and its claw was still caught.

After struggling for a while, it chose to give up.

"Chirp chirp~"

The knowledgeable bird's eyes were full of innocence, but Fu Ning remained unmoved.

"Little guy, where is the Bodhi Leaf?"

"Chirp~"

The knowledgeable bird struggled with its wings, as if saying that it was tied up by the rope and couldn't show the way.

After a slight hesitation, Fu Ning let the snake loosen its wings.

"Little guy, I advise you not to play tricks, otherwise..."

Speaking up to this point, Fu Ning's mouth curved, and in the next moment, the knowledgeable bird's body was once again engulfed in orange flames.

The knowledgeable bird didn't expect that Fu Ning would see through its thoughts in an instant, and without any visible action, flames erupted from its body again.

"Chirp chirp~"

Strangely enough, these flames didn't harm the knowledgeable bird's body. Instead, its Primordial Spirit was constantly tormented.

Soon, it started rolling on the ground, and after just a few breaths, its feathers seemed to lose their luster.

When Fu Ning retracted his psychic power, the knowledgeable bird finally stopped struggling.

However, at this moment, when it looked at Fu Ning, its eyes were filled with fear, and there was no longer any intention to escape.

Flap~

After a while, the knowledgeable bird seemed to recover some strength. Its wings flapped, and its body floated unsteadily.

And on its claw, there was still a shadow line hanging.

The other end of the shadow line was still in Fu Ning's hand.

"Chirp chirp~"

The knowledgeable bird directly circled around Fu Ning's head.

Fu Ning was taken aback, "Huh? Do you want me to follow you?"

The knowledgeable bird nodded, then turned and flew ahead of Fu Ning.

Seeing this, Fu Ning couldn't help but praise, "What a clever bird."

However, what surprised Fu Ning was that the knowledgeable bird actually led him deeper into the cave.

After a moment of hesitation, Fu Ning followed.

But after a dozen steps, the first fork in the cave appeared.

Fu Ning thought to himself that the mountain wasn't big, but he didn't expect that there would be so much hidden inside.

Just as he was thinking this, a second fork appeared before him. Before he could continue to marvel, a third and fourth one appeared...

Soon, Fu Ning was shocked. How many forks did this cave have? It seemed like the entire mountain had been hollowed out!
