The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

"Xiao Xuan, what's going on in this secret realm? Such a strange secret realm doesn't look like it was created by an immortal. It couldn't be produced by the system!" Xiao Yuhan felt a strong sense of disobedience after entering the secret realm, and felt everything It was as if everything had been arranged by others, and even what I did seemed to be moving in the preset direction. She thought about all this, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, especially the system AI, which was too weird.

"Xiao Hanhan, sister can't directly interfere with the real world~ In order to resurrect you, we have used up all the times of super permissions, and even if we use the secret realm created by the system super permissions, we cannot generate mortal monsters~"

"What? Giving me a gift package for beginners and lowering the difficulty level is considered intervening in the real world? Do you think I deserve to be beaten by reality?"

"Brother Chen, look!"

Zhou Wanshan's shout brought Xiao Yuhan, who was about to have a friendly exchange with the system, back to reality. Since the attack on the stone palace, Heyuan had not appeared again, and the group continued to move northwest of the forest for an hour. Xiao Yuhan followed the direction pointed by Zhou Wanshan and saw a magnificent mountain city.

The path in the forest changed from winding to straight here. The straight path leads to a stone city wall that looks like 10 people tall. The city gate is wide open and unattended. The stone brick road in the city leads directly to a huge cave supported by stone pillars. , the mountain road connected to the cave is vaguely visible, and there are also magnificent attic buildings in the middle of the mountain.

"Good guy, could the buildings in this secret realm appear in this era?" Xiao Yuhan whispered quietly. Although she didn't understand the history of ancient buildings at all, she felt that it was impossible to build such a complex of buildings with the productivity of this era. , unless there is the assistance of a large number of high-level monks.

The sky gradually turned dark, and everyone chose to camp outside the city. Considering that there would be no harassment from the gang, Zhu Laosi's troops were divided into two groups, one to conduct reconnaissance in the city, and the other to contact the logistics team. I don't go directly into the city because I'm afraid of triggering mechanisms like the Stone Palace again. The supplies are still sufficient at the moment, so I should be well prepared before exploring this mountain city.

At noon the next day, the people who contacted the logistics team came back, and the supplies they brought were much less than expected. Everyone speculated that the logistics team might be in trouble.

"It's also possible that the door is closed again." Xiao Yuhan frowned slightly and expressed a guess he had always made.

"This secret realm may be a large formation. The strange rocks we saw are actually just signs of the range of the formation. Different colors represent different veins. As for the function of each vein, it is not clear yet. If my guess is good , Mrs. Zhu should be safe and sound at the moment, but our escape route is cut off, so we can only use the existing supplies to explore this secret realm."

"Brother Chen, if we withdraw now..." Zhu Laosi asked with hesitation, but Xiao Yuhan waved his hand to stop him before he finished speaking.

"I understand what you mean, Brother Zhu, but if we go back to the Stone Palace to take away the jade tablet, we may or may not be able to open the entrance, but what is certain is that if we move the jade tablet, we will definitely be besieged by monsters. ..." Xiao Yuhan paused and glanced at everyone, then continued: "Can all of you here survive such a siege?"

Everyone was silent, and Xiao Yuhan waited for a moment before speaking again: "Even if we fight back regardless of casualties, how can we defend ourselves against the enemy if the door is not opened? If the door is opened, can Mrs. Zhu and Xiong'er evacuate safely?" .”

"Let's move forward tomorrow! Everyone, go get ready, be alert, and disperse!" Zhou Wanshan intercepted Xiao Yuhan's words at this moment, and any further words would damage morale.

"No!" The guards held their hands and retreated.

Zhou Wanshan took a photo of Zhu Laosi who was about to sort out his equipment and said, "Fourth brother, come with me!"

Xiao Yuhan watched the two people leave and shook her head slightly, then continued to study the use of the power of the Five Elements.

Nothing happened all night, and at around nine o'clock the next day, a group of 10 people set off at the same time.

According to yesterday's investigation, the city was deserted all the way to the main hall. Everyone cautiously passed through the main hall and reached the passage up the mountain. The passage was very spacious, allowing six people to walk together. Zhu Laosi habitually led his guards up the passage first. The four of them walked up about 6 steps in pairs, and suddenly heard Xiao Yuhan shouting from behind: "Come back quickly! "

No one understood what was going on. Zhu Laosi didn't know what happened to Xiao Yuhan, so he hesitated. When he was about to walk back, suddenly there was an inexplicable feeling of anxiety in the air, and the temperature suddenly began to rise. Zhu Laosi The four people in the fourth class realized something was wrong and ran down quickly. After running a few steps, they heard several explosions in succession, and a wave of heat spurted out from under their feet.

Zhu Laosi's desire to survive caused him to jump up at a speed that exceeded the limit, draw out the spiritual arrow and throw it at his feet. A powerful impact threw him and the guards around him downward. Zhou Wanshan and others saw the two people being thrown away and quickly stepped forward to catch them and extinguish the flames on them.

Xiao Yuhan used all her spiritual power to resist the burning power of fire, rushed into the sea of ​​​​fire to pick up another guard who was slightly farther away, but the spiritual power of the sword uniform on the last guard could not withstand such a powerful power of fire and was completely destroyed by the flames. Swallow screamed in pain, and the guard, who had no hope of survival, detonated the spiritual arrows on his body, and his whole body was blown into several fireballs flying around.

"Brother Chen, what's going on!" Zhou Wanshan asked Xiao Yuhan loudly while supporting Zhu Laosi, who was slightly exhausted after escaping from death.

"Brother Zhu and the others sent out spiritual energy fluctuations just now when they went up the stairs, triggering a trap of fire power." Xiao Yuhan replied, staring at the stairs where the flames were gradually disappearing.

"Is there any way to disable this mechanism?" Zhou Wanshan asked anxiously.

Xiao Yuhan shook her head and said: "The entire mountain road is a mechanism, and I'm afraid it can't be lifted by people who are not setting up the formation. But I just observed that Brother Zhu and the others caused spiritual energy fluctuations when they raised their feet, and I thought, wouldn't it be simpler and more effective to trigger it by putting my feet down? ? And such obvious spiritual power fluctuations are not hidden at all, is it really for killing people?"

Zhou Wanshan thought for a moment and said, "Is it related to the number of people in the same class?"

Xiao Yuhan said: "You will know after you try it. This mechanism will not trigger the power of fire immediately after being triggered. Moreover, we are just trying the fluctuation of spiritual power. We don't need to go up many steps."

So after repeated verification, Zhou Wanshan, Xiao Yuhan and others found that this was a mechanism triggered by gravity. If five armored warriors stepped up the stairs at the same time, it would not cause fluctuations in spiritual power.

The equipment of Zhu Laosi and three others was seriously damaged, but they only suffered minor burns and impact injuries caused by the close-range blast of spiritual arrows. After treatment, they were able to continue fighting. The three of them and Xiao Yuhan carried the baggage and some heavy objects, but they could barely reach the weight that would not trigger the mechanism.

After repeated verifications and drills, everyone made sure that the mechanism would not be triggered, and then they carefully passed through this dangerous uphill passage. When passing by the pile of burnt meat, everyone's expressions were unusually solemn. Mr. Zhu's face There were expressions of painful struggle at one time, but they could not move randomly and could only walk upwards step by step in an orderly manner.
