Chapter 977: Sleepwalking
Feng Ming and the other two did not object, and they continued to walk further inside.
Yun Chujiu tried to use a sound transmission talisman and the chopping board, but they would not activate. It seemed that this place was the same as the other arrays she was in before, talisman seals and flying spirit tools were forbidden there.
The four searched for an entire day, but still found nothing. This place was so big that it was boundless. The four walked for an entire day, but they still could not cover the entire area.
“Junior Sister Little Jiu, tomorrow is the last day of the test. If we don’t get out soon, I’m afraid we won’t be able to enter the second round.” Geng Yi sighed and said.
“Don’t give up until the last moment. We will be able to get out in time. Trust me.” Yun Chujiu said confidently. She was not confident at all, but to keep Feng Ming and the other two’s spirits up, she could only pretend to believe in her plan.
When Feng Ming and the other two saw Yun Chujiu’s confident smile, they felt much more at ease. Whenever they were in a desperate situation, Junior Sister Little Jiu would think of a way out. This time, her plan would work too.
“Junior Sister Little Jiu, why don’t you try cursing the heavenly lightning? See if you can split this formation apart?” Feng Ming thought for a moment and said.
“That won’t do. First of all, this is a formation within another formation. Moreover, it’s a forbidden area. I’m afraid that we won’t be able to summon the heavenly lightning. Second, if we shut down the array prematurely, it would be terrible if we let something monstrous out. Third, and most importantly, if we summon the Heavenly Lightning, this Secret Realm would be destroyed. If we cause such a huge disaster, I’m afraid that the Tianyuan Academy would not accept us.”
When Feng Ming and the other two heard that, they were immediately discouraged. Seeing that, Yun Chujiu said, “Don’t worry. Let’s rest well for the night. We’ll continue looking for clues tomorrow.”
At midnight, Yun Chujiu was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, a sharp pain came from her Dantian and she woke up immediately. Just as she was about to use her spiritual sense to check the situation in her Dantian, she strangely saw Feng Ming and the other two walking forward stiffly, as if they were sleepwalking.
Yun Chujiu blinked her eyes, ‘What was going on? Sleepwalking? Or was there something making them do that?’
Yun Chujiu imitated Feng Ming and the other two, jumping behind them like a vampire.
She almost laughed out loud. She looked like a zombie. The Black Bead in her Dantian shook contemptuously, ‘Is this really the time?! This stupid girl still had the mood to play. She was really careless.’
Yun Chujiu followed the three and kept jumping forward. When her legs were sore from jumping, she found that a cave had appeared out of thin air.
It seemingly appeared out of thin air. During the day, Yun Chujiu and the other two had searched here, there was nothing but flat gra.s.sland.
Yun Chujiu followed Feng Ming and the other two and jumped into the cave. She tried her best to make her eyes seem empty and blank so that she would not be exposed.
Feng Ming and the other two suddenly stopped in their tracks. Yun Chujiu also quickly stood still. There was only a tiny bit of moonlight s.h.i.+ning into the cave. Other than Feng Ming and the other two who were close to each other, she could not see anything else.
The ground in this cave was very flat. It should have been artificially dug. It seemed that there was something locked in here.
Feng Ming and the other two suddenly collapsed to the ground. Yun Chujiu quickly followed suit and collapsed to the ground. However, she opened a small gap in her eyes. She carefully peeked.
Yun Chujiu heard the sound of chains approach. As the cave was too dark, it was impossible to see what was coming. Yun Chujiu did not care and felt that the thing was not far away from Feng Ming, she suddenly jumped up and hurled several bolts of lightning at the thing.
