"This place is too strange. There's no sun, where is this light coming from?" Little Roar came to the side of the bamboo and saw that the light from the bamboo had dyed his pure white fur green as he asked suspiciously.
Light?
Sima Youyue heard Little Roar's words and had a flash of inspiration. These bamboos were all emitting light which meant that these bamboos were all the same. If she could find one that did not emit light, it might be the eye of the array!
"Ha, Little Roar, let's go find the bamboo that doesn't emit light!" She stood up and patted the leaves off her body as she spoke to Little Roar behind her.
"Bamboo that doesn't emit light? Why are we looking for that? "Little Roar flew over and asked.
"That could be the eye of the array." Sima Youyue said, "In any case, just follow me and see."
"Okay."
Hence, the two of them walked around the forest again. This time, they were looking for bamboo that did not emit light. Their goal became clear in an instant.
"Master, I feel it." Little Spirit, who had been quiet all this while, suddenly spoke up.
"Little Spirit, what do you feel?" Sima Youyue stopped and asked.
"There's the aura of a Spirit Stone here." Little Spirit said.
"Spirit Stone, is it a stone like you?" Sima Youyue asked.
"How can that thing be compared to me. I am a Sacred Spirit Stone, the only one in the world. I can refine it into a Spirit Pearl that can contain the world. Those dregs can at most be used to nourish the soul, they cannot nourish life. "Little Spirit said proudly.
"Then why are you so excited?"
"Are you stupid! Since this is a maze, although it is the effect of the array, the eye of the array must be something that is useful to the soul. This way, the effect of the array can be maximized. "Little Spirit said.
"That's why, that Spirit Stone is very likely to be the eye of the array." Sima Youyue said somewhat excitedly.
"Hmph, at least you're not that stupid." Little Spirit said.
"Then you can feel its aura, can you find its exact location?" Sima Youyue asked.
"If it was outside the array, I could find it directly. But this is inside the array, I can only feel that it is nearby, within a radius of fifty metres. You can look for it yourself. "After Little Spirit finished speaking, he did not speak again.
Sima Youyue looked around. The bamboo here was not very dense. Compared to other places, it could be described as sparse.
She carefully observed each bamboo and saw that each bamboo seemed to be glowing. None of them were like what she thought they were.
"Could it be that my deduction is wrong?" Sima Youyue rubbed her chin, doubting her own deduction.
"Yue Yue, maybe the array's core isn't found in the bamboo." Little Roar said.
"Not bamboo?"
"That's right. If the eye of the array is really a Spirit Stone, then it should still look like a stone." Little Roar said.
"Ha, that's possible. Let's take a look at the stones here." Sima Youyue hugged Little Roar. The human and beast looked at the small stones inch by inch, but there was not a single stone to be seen.
Looking at the only big rock here, Sima You Yue placed her last gaze on it.
"Could it be this?" She walked closer to the stone and circled it twice. She felt that this stone was different from the ones she saw before. She stretched out her hand to touch it. It had the same cold feeling as the bamboo.
"Yue Yue, is it this?" Little Roar flew over and asked.
"No." Sima Youyue said, "If it's the array's core, then it should be something real. It shouldn't be as cold as the bamboo."
"Then the array's core isn't here either?" Little Roar said with disappointment.
"No, it's here." Sima Youyue said with certainty, "Can you kick this stone away?"
"Piece of cake." Little Roar flew to the side of the stone. With a light kick, the huge stone was kicked away.
Sima Youyue looked at the bottom of the stone that was kicked away. It was a small stone that was the size of a baby's fist.
"Is it this?" Sima Youyue squatted down and looked at the black stone, saying, "Is it possible to just remove this? I don't know if there will be an explosion. I don't care, I'll just treat it as a last resort. "
After saying that, she threw the little white ball into the Spirit Pearl. Then, she took a deep breath and stretched out her hand to grab the Spirit Stone.
"Huhu — — Huhu — —"
The quiet bamboo forest suddenly had a gust of wind. The ground seemed to be about to split open as it trembled non-stop.
"Pa — —"
The bamboo forest was blown apart by the gust of wind. Every single one of them made a crackling sound.
Sima Youyue could not open her eyes because of the gust of wind. She used the hand that was holding the stone in front of her to block it, but it was still unable to block the force of the wind.
"Rumble — —"
The ground suddenly split open and the crack quickly became bigger. All the fallen leaves and bamboos sank into it.
"What the — —" When she fell into the crack, Sima Youyue grabbed the stone in her hand tightly in an attempt to reduce the panic in her heart.
Blood seeped into the stone. Sima Youyue felt a heart-wrenching pain spread from her hand to her limbs and bones, causing her to faint. Before she fainted, she only had one thought. If the ground closed up again, would she be crushed into meat paste?
Her consciousness was in a mess. She did not know how long she had been wandering in the darkness. When she slowly regained her consciousness and opened her eyes, she realized that she was in a valley. Below her was a thick meadow. Her clothes were clean, as if the soil on her body did not exist when the ground split open.
She sat up and rubbed her aching head. She wondered if what she had experienced was just a dream.
"Hiss — —"
She felt a sharp pain in her palm. She opened her hand and saw that there were a few wounds on her palm. The wounds had not completely healed. Because of the movement just now, they had split open again.
"Seems like it was not a dream." She took out a knife and cut off a part of her outer robe. She wrapped her hand and tied a knot with her mouth and left hand.
After doing all this, she began to observe the valley.
Just like the bamboo forest before, there were no living creatures. Not even a shadow of a beast egg could be seen. The difference was that the forest before was filled with bamboo, but there were many different types of flowers and trees here.
"Could it be that I came from that array to this array?" Sima Youyue asked doubtfully.
"I don't think so. I don't feel the aura of an array." Little Spirit said.
"There's no array? Didn't you say that there was at least an illusion array here? "
"There isn't. This is the real world." Little Spirit said with certainty.
"Then how do I go back? This isn't an array. If I find the beast egg, I will naturally be transported out. "Sima Youyue said with a headache. "Oh right, do you know where the spirit stone is?"
"It's with me." Little Spirit said with a bad tone.
Sima Youyue felt that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's something wrong with this thing. I'll tell you when you get out." Little Spirit said.
"Then I'll find a way out first." Sima Youyue said.
