Chapter 218: Breakthrough in Difficulties
In this mysterious relic, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood back to back, surrounded by a group of iron-hard, powerful guardian puppets. They took heavy, mechanical steps, and each step made the ground tremble slightly. The puppets' eyes flashed with cold light, like emotionless killing machines, tightly surrounding Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.
Yun Yao used the magic she had learned, but the rays of light that rushed towards the puppets could only leave shallow marks on them, just like weak waves hitting hard reefs, unable to shake their roots at all. Fine beads of sweat gradually oozed out of her forehead, and a trace of anxiety was revealed in her eyes. Chu Mochen on the side waved his long sword, and the sword wind whistled, barely resisting the fierce attack of the puppets. His posture was agile, and every swing of the sword brought great power, but the number of puppets was too large, and they kept surging up, seemingly endless.
At the critical moment of the battle, Yun Yao realized that conventional attacks would not be able to win. She knew that if she continued like this, she and Chu Mochen would sooner or later be exhausted of their spiritual power by these puppets and fall into a desperate situation. So, she suppressed her inner tension, calmed down, slowly closed her eyes, and focused all her attention on the flow of spiritual power in her body. She could clearly feel the spiritual power flowing slowly in her meridians, like a rushing stream, although it was endless, it was not turbulent enough.
Yun Yao began to try to guide the spiritual powers of different attributes to blend with each other. She first carefully brought a trace of wood spiritual power and water spiritual power closer together. These two spiritual powers were like two elves with very different personalities. At first, they repelled each other. The wood spiritual power was full of vitality and stubbornness, while the water spiritual power contained gentleness and agility. They acted independently in Yun Yao's meridians and refused to cooperate. Yun Yao was not discouraged. She concentrated her mind and used her own spiritual consciousness as a bridge to gently soothe them, trying to make them understand that each other's power could complement each other.
Slowly, the wood attribute spiritual power and the water attribute spiritual power began to loosen up a little. They touched each other tentatively, like two small animals meeting for the first time, cautious and curious. Yun Yao seized this opportunity and increased the intensity of guidance, allowing them to gradually merge. During the fusion process, Yun Yao felt a new power being nurtured in her body. This power has both the vitality of the wood attribute and the softness and tolerance of the water attribute. It is like a newly sprouted seed, although weak, it is full of unlimited potential.
Then, Yun Yao tried to combine this initial fusion of spiritual power with the spiritual power of fire attribute. The spiritual power of fire attribute was hot and violent. As soon as it appeared, it was like a ferocious beast trying to break through Yun Yao's control. Beads of sweat appeared on Yun Yao's forehead. Her face turned pale and her body trembled slightly. But she gritted her teeth and silently told herself that she must hold on. She mobilized all her spiritual consciousness, like a tamer, to tame this violent "beast" with a firm will.
After a lot of hard work, the fire attribute spiritual power was finally tamed and began to blend with the wood and water spiritual power. During this process, Yun Yao's body seemed to be pulled by a powerful force, and waves of pain came from her meridians, as if they were about to be torn apart. Her lips were bitten and bleeding, but she still did not give up. Finally, the three spiritual powers were successfully fused together to form a new composite spell.
At this moment, Yun Yao's eyes suddenly opened, with a strange light flashing in them. She quickly formed seals with her hands, muttering something, and a powerful force gathered in her hands. With her cry, the puppets were repelled one after another wherever the light shone. Those puppets that were originally extremely hard and invincible, under the impact of this force, flew backwards like fallen leaves swept by a strong wind, fell heavily to the ground, and raised a cloud of dust.
This breakthrough gave Yun Yao a boost of confidence. She looked at Chu Mochen and saw the renewed hope and fighting spirit in each other's eyes. The two cooperated tacitly and pursued the victory. Yun Yao cast a composite spell, and colorful rays of light continued to shoot at the group of puppets. Each ray of light contained a powerful force that could easily penetrate the defense of the puppets and smash them to pieces. Chu Mochen waved his long sword, like a dragon out of the sea, and shuttled freely among the group of puppets. His swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and each sword could cut off the joints of the puppets, making them unable to move.
Under the two's vigorous attack, the puppet group was gradually destroyed. However, they also consumed a lot of spiritual power and were exhausted. Yun Yao's legs were a little weak, and she had to lean on the wall next to her to barely stand. Her breathing was rapid and heavy, her chest was heaving violently, and her face was full of fatigue. Chu Mochen was not much better. His clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to his body. The long sword in his hand was trembling slightly, as if it would slip out of his hand at the next moment.
Despite this, there was still determination in their eyes.
Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen, smiled weakly, and said, "We are finally safe for the time being, but there are definitely more dangers waiting for us in these ruins."
Chu Mochen walked up to her, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Let's rest for a while, recover our spiritual power, and then continue exploring."
Yun Yao nodded, and the two of them slowly sat on the ground and began to practice qigong to restore their spiritual power in preparation for the next challenge.
