“Yaoyao, I think this great formation is very likely the legendary teleportation formation. In the past, cultivators used such formations to travel between different human realms, and there were even formations that could connect the spirit realm, the underworld, and the immortal realm.”
"Ah~~, there are other human realms?! There are also spirit realms... immortal realms..."
Lin Yao was stunned; the information was too shocking for him to process immediately.
"Of course, I only have a vague impression, and I just remembered it." Xiaocao's tone gradually became more certain. "You see, time has stopped inside those eggshells. They are actually individual small spaces. The teleportation array uses spatial principles to break through barriers and teleport people and items to other places. Although I don't know exactly what's going on with those eggshells, it's obviously the effect of this array. Judging from the fact that the array's circuitry is somewhat damaged, perhaps that's why the array's spatial control power has leaked out and was then used by 'Wuyi'."
The little grass was communicating with Lin Yao, its tentacles twisting and gesturing around the eggshells around it. There was no seawater in this area, and the 'hidden algae' did not exist, so she didn't have to worry about encountering those ubiquitous seaweeds and revealing her identity.
"Didn't you say at the beginning that the engine was still working? How can it work if time has stopped?" Lin Yao was getting a little fixated on something, harping on Xiao Cao's past mistakes.
"I was afraid you wouldn't understand, you idiot!" Little Grass retorted irritably. "The engine's flames are still coming out, it looks like it's running. Didn't you understand after seeing those drivers with your own eyes?"
Perhaps due to excessive excitement, or perhaps due to nervousness, the wriggling tentacles suddenly bumped into an eggshell. The little grass cried out in surprise and immediately stopped its conversation with Lin Yao.
The scene before him was unbelievable. The eggshell disappeared after being touched by the grass, revealing a decades-old airplane that Lin Yao couldn't identify as its model or country of origin. The airplane's surface, which had originally shone with a silvery-white luster, quickly dimmed, as if it had rusted in an instant. The leather and plastic parts of the non-metallic parts aged at a visible speed, eventually turning into pieces of shredded cloth, which were scattered like willow catkins by the wind generated by the accelerated descent.
Lin Yao didn't move, and neither did Xiao Cao, because they witnessed a heart-wrenching scene—the pilot's lifelike expression vanished, and in just a few seconds, his skin cracked like a dried corpse, eventually turning into a skeleton. Then, as if unable to withstand the onslaught of the gale, his bones shattered into pieces, like a shower of petals, drifting out of the cabin like the tail of a comet, a sight that evoked sorrow.
"Quick! Little grass! Hold it back!"
Before Lin Yao could finish speaking, the entire plane crashed heavily into the magic array. A transparent barrier instantly appeared, a flash of blue light, and the wreckage of the plane shattered into nothingness, leaving no trace. It was as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.
"Yaoyao, run!" Little Grass screamed.
She no longer cared that she had nowhere to pull Lin Yao, and immediately transformed her tentacles into two huge wings, like a roc spreading its wings, appearing beside Lin Yao. Then she flapped them forcefully, using the buoyancy of the air to carry Lin Yao away, and at this point she couldn't wait for Lin Yao's reaction.
"Ah!" Lin Yao exclaimed softly after waking up, quickly gathering the energy of heaven and earth to accelerate his speed and escape from this area as fast as possible, lest the dangerous magic array release some attack spell and he be wiped out like an airplane, which would not be worth it.
"I know why there are reports that fishermen and pilots from decades ago did not age after returning to the human world. They were only stunned for a moment, but had no memory of it, because time stopped. For some reason, the eggshells of those lucky few returned to the surface of the sea, and then the time stop was lifted. After that, they found that their sons were much older than themselves."
Lin Yao's tense expression changed slightly. He rolled his eyes in annoyance, thinking to himself that Xiao Cao had the leisure to analyze those anecdotes at a time like this, she didn't even know how to spell the word "death".
Suddenly, a wave of energy, a thousand times more powerful than the previous mental attack, struck Lin Yao's mind like a hammer blow. Intense pain and extreme panic descended instantly, causing him to lose control of his energy and his escape speed to decrease dramatically.
"Yaoyao, hold on! Run!"
The little grass panicked and immediately released the energy of dozens of "Sacrifice Pills" into the healing area on Lin Yao's chest, hoping to help him recover.
The blow made Lin Yao realize his predicament in an instant, but he was horrified to find that his previous method of concentrating to resist had failed. The mental attack from the magic array was not a shockwave-like instant, but a continuous and relentless attack. The severe headache and mental confusion made him feel for the first time that his soul was about to dissipate.
"Quick! Use your inner energy!"
The grass screamed in his mind, its sharp sound like steel needles stimulating Lin Yao's thoughts, giving him a goal in his moment of panic.
Without time to consider what to do, Lin Yao instinctively acted according to Xiao Cao's words, mustered all his energy, and controlled the massive "Sacrifice Pill" energy that had suddenly appeared in the medicine pill department, spreading it throughout his body along his meridians. While controlling it, he used the mental technique he had just comprehended to stimulate the power of faith within the pill energy to erupt.
With a deafening boom, as if struck by lightning, the entire world returned to Lin Yao's perception. The piercing pain vanished instantly, leaving only exhaustion and lingering fear.
"Is it all done?" Xiaocao asked uncertainly, her tone quite worried.
"Alright," Lin Yao replied weakly, "I had a brush with death and almost died. Thanks to Xiao Cao."
When answering Xiaocao, Lin Yao didn't dare to stop circulating his true energy mixed with the pill's energy. At the same time, he had to regain control of the energy of heaven and earth to escape. Only a small portion of the massive amount of pill energy was consumed. Obviously, the faith power contained in the "Sacrifice Pill" was of a very high level, and it was not difficult to deal with this kind of mental attack. It was just that he didn't know that faith power had such a wonderful use before, which almost caused him to regret it for the rest of his life.
"Then let's prepare for battle, we can't run away." Little Grass felt slightly relieved, but her tone was not relaxed. Instantly, she extended her tentacles, protecting Lin Yao layer by layer. As if facing a formidable enemy, she stopped the transformation of her wings and faced Lin Yao's right side, because a giant "tree" had appeared there.
"Ah~ what? Ah!!!"
Lin Yao instantly stopped his rapidly flying body. A huge egg-shaped object appeared in front of him. There was nothing inside, and the light from the eggshell was different from that of the ones that encased airplanes and ships, giving him an instinctive sense of danger.
"The 'Dancing Costume' is coming from the right," Xiaocao said succinctly. "Prepare for an electric attack, and protect yourselves at the same time."
"Okay!" Lin Yao agreed. The giant tree-like creature, over a hundred meters tall, in front of him made him immediately start printing the incantation.
That thing with a base diameter of three meters, a straight trunk and dense branches, and a whole plant radiating a verdant glow while its branches twisted, was undoubtedly our target—the ancestor of algae, "Dancing Cloth."
"squeak!"
A ripple in the air came, which Lin Yao didn't understand, but he felt that the little grass also made a sound, only the little grass's sound was much nicer.
"Yaoyao, attack quickly!" Xiaocao suddenly grabbed a rock that was empty at the edge of the underwater magic circle with her tentacles, and shot towards "Wuyi" like an arrow with Lin Yao. She decided to strike first. The two sides were destined to be enemies, so there was no need for words.
Duh!
When Lin Yao was only two meters away from a thick branch of the "Dancing Robe," he unleashed a bright purple bolt of lightning. A faint golden light flickered within the lightning, vanishing in an instant and merging into the emerald green of the "Dancing Robe." It then detached itself at a distance, rapidly circling the "Dancing Robe's" surface, causing the enemy to grit their teeth in frustration.
With a loud bang, Lin Yao felt as if his head had been hit by a hammer. The intense mental attack intensified again, causing him to become dizzy for a moment. Fortunately, this enhanced mental attack only lasted for one wave and then returned to the previous intensity, which prevented him from suffering serious injuries.
"Die!"
Little Grass also suffered a fierce attack from "Dancing Robe". Unlike the abilities she remembered, "Dancing Robe" showed a completely different strength at this time. A cutting ability appeared in front of her. Just as Little Grass was about to use her tentacles to bind and strangle the opponent's branches, she instead had several tentacles cut off, and the loss was not small.
"Little Grass, its power comes from the magic array. I feel that the magic array and it are closely connected and have energy transmission." Lin Yao sent out the message in a spare moment, and used all his true energy to activate the hand seal, so that the lightning burned the "dance clothes".
"I know, then let's not hold back, let's use medicine to deal with it!"
Overwhelmed by a desperate thought, Xiaocao disregarded whether she could suppress the spirit of "Morning Mist" and immediately fed the spirit with the energy of the "Sacrifice Pill" she had generated. Then, she rapidly generated the original toxins of "Morning Mist" and injected these toxins into "Dancing Robe" through her tentacles.
