The fairy love story between Bi Yao and Li Yuan after traveling through time

Chapter 170: New Enemies and Impending Troubles

After returning to the residence, Bi Yao immediately set up a barrier to cover the entire room.

The dark bead lay quietly on the table, emitting a strange light, like the heart of a dormant ferocious beast.

Li Yuan paced back and forth, looking anxiously at the communication jade slip from time to time. Messages for help kept coming in, and the situation became increasingly serious.

"These runes look like some kind of ancient writing, but I've searched the entire library and can't find any records." Li Yuan scratched his hair irritably. He was usually talkative, but now he was silent with a frown on his face.

Bi Yao said nothing, her slender fingers gently stroking the smooth surface of the bead, feeling the strange energy contained in it.

She tried to inject spiritual power into the beads, but it was like a drop in the ocean, with no response at all.

She tried to use her spiritual sense to investigate again, but she only felt a biting chill that seemed to be swallowing her up.

"No, this bead is like a bottomless pit. My spiritual power and consciousness cannot penetrate it." Bi Yao withdrew his hand, his face a little pale.

At this moment, a violent crash was heard from outside the barrier, accompanied by a shrill roar.

Li Yuan's expression changed, "They're coming again!"

Bi Yao walked to the window and saw that it was pitch black outside. Countless dark monsters were frantically attacking the barrier. Their eyes flashed scarlet light and their sharp claws left scratches on the barrier.

"The barrier won't last long!" Li Yuan drew his sword, his expression solemn. "Looks like we have to deal with the trouble outside first."

Bi Yao stopped him, "No, the most important thing now is to find out the secret of these beads. Only by knowing their weaknesses can we completely resolve this crisis."

She returned to the table, her eyes fixed on the runes on the beads, her mind working rapidly.

Suddenly, she remembered the mysterious codes she had seen in the modern world...

"Wait..." Bi Yao raised his head suddenly, a gleam in his eyes, "Maybe..."

Bi Yao stood up suddenly, excitement glittering in his eyes.

"I figured it out! These runes may not be words, but a code!" She quickly spread out a piece of white paper on the table, dipped a brush in ink, and traced the runes on the beads one by one.

Although Li Yuan didn't understand, he still chose to believe Bi Yao. He stood silently by her side, grinding ink and adding water for her.

"In modern times, there is a discipline called cryptography..." Bi Yao muttered to himself while writing and drawing on paper, arranging and combining runes according to different rules.

She tried to use various encryption methods such as the Caesar cipher and the Virginia cipher, and analyzed them in combination with the fluctuation patterns of the cultivators' spiritual power. For a moment, the only sound in the room was the rustling of the pen tip against the paper.

As time passed, the collision sounds outside the barrier became more and more frequent, as if it would break at any time.

Li Yuan's expression became more and more serious, but he did not disturb Bi Yao.

Suddenly, Bi Yao stopped writing and his eyes lit up.

"I did it!" She pointed at a line of text on the paper, her tone excited, "This is... an encryption method that uses the frequency of spiritual energy fluctuations as the key! I cracked it!"

The deciphered runes revealed that the bead was not an evil object, but a key, a key that could open the way to a mysterious space.

And those dark monsters were attracted by the energy leaked from this space.

Li Yuan excitedly picked up Bi Yao and spun around several times, his hearty laughter echoing in the room.

"Yaoyao, you are so awesome!" Bi Yao was also infected by Li Yuan's enthusiasm and a bright smile appeared on her face.

The life-and-death pressure was released at this moment, and the relationship between the two became even deeper.

Bi Yao patted Li Yuan's shoulder gently, signaling him to put her down.

"Now is not the time to celebrate. We must find the entrance to this mysterious space as soon as possible and prevent further energy leakage."

At this moment, the candlelight in the room suddenly flickered violently, and a strong sense of oppression enveloped the entire space.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other, and saw solemnity in each other's eyes...

"What is that..." Li Yuan's voice was low and hoarse, his eyes fixed on the window.

Outside the window, a huge hole was torn in the originally dark sky, and dark green light poured out from it, dyeing the whole world with a strange color.

A huge figure slowly emerged from the crack, blocking out the sky and the sun, carrying a suffocating pressure.

It has a dragon-like appearance, but its body is covered with sharp bone spurs, and its huge wings spread out like two rolling dark clouds.

"This... this is..." Li Yuan's voice trembled, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the hilt of the sword turned white.

Before they could react, countless dark monsters emerged from the crack. These monsters were more ferocious than before, emitting thick black aura and their scarlet eyes were filled with bloodthirsty desire.

What's even more terrifying is that they can also release a strange wave that interferes with the surrounding spiritual energy, greatly reducing the power of Bi Yao and Li Yuan's spells.

"Their fluctuations have a pattern!" Bi Yao keenly captured this during the intensive attacks.

While dodging the monster's attacks, she quickly analyzed the frequency and pattern of the fluctuations.

"Li Yuan, attack their abdomen! Their vibrations are coming from there, that's their weak point!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan immediately adjusted his attack strategy.

He no longer swung his sword blindly, but instead seized the gaps when the monsters' movements appeared, concentrated his spiritual power on the tip of the sword, and stabbed them accurately in the abdomen.

Sure enough, after being attacked in the abdomen, these seemingly powerful monsters let out a shrill roar, and their bodies quickly disintegrated, turning into a ball of black mist and dissipating in the air.

Despite this, the number of monsters was too great, wave after wave, seemingly endless.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood back to back, resisting the monster's crazy attack, and both of their spiritual power was rapidly consumed.

Just when they were about to collapse, the huge dragon-shaped monster let out a deafening roar, and all the dark monsters retreated like a tide and disappeared into the cracks.

The cracks in the sky slowly closed, and the world returned to peace, as if everything that had just happened was just a nightmare.

However, the crisis is far from over.

Bi Yao walked to the corpse of a killed monster and observed it carefully.

She discovered that there was a strange mark on the monster's chest, like a twisted rune, emitting a faint red light.

"This mark..." Bi Yao's face grew serious. She raised her head and looked at Li Yuan, "I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

Li Yuan walked over, looked at the mark carefully, and frowned.

"I also feel that it looks familiar..."

Suddenly, Bi Yao seemed to remember something and his expression changed drastically.

She grabbed Li Yuan's hand and said in a hurry, "No! This is..." She stopped talking and stared into the distance, her eyes filled with fear and anxiety...
