I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

Chapter 117: Enemies trapped in an ancient tomb, wisdom overcomes the crisis

The pitch-black entrance resembled the bloody maw of a giant beast, emitting an unknown and dangerous aura. Dongfang Liuli and Fairy Lingdie exchanged a glance, each seeing determination in the other's eyes—no matter what, they would fight to the death!

"Want to run? Dream on!" The cold voice of Military Advisor Shen Ji echoed in the empty secret room. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and streams of black air surged out from his fingertips, turning into several poisonous snakes, roaring and pouncing towards the cave entrance.

"I'll stop them!" The Fairy Lingdie shouted, and the long whip in her hand danced like a spirit snake. The whip shadows were heavy, defeating all the poisonous snakes.

"Let's go!" Dongfang Liuli took the hand of the Fairy Lingdie and jumped into the cave without hesitation.

"Don't let them run away!" roared the leader of Badao Sect. However, the cave entrance was filled with black fog and poisonous gas, making it impossible to get close.

"Useless! A bunch of useless!" The Ba Dao Sect leader was furious, but he could do nothing. He turned to look at Lei Yi, who was being besieged by the Crazy Lion Warriors, with a sinister glint in his eyes. "Boy, hand over the map, and I can spare your life!"

"Hahaha..." Lei Yi laughed loudly, his laughter full of tragedy and determination. "You want a map? Then come and get it!"

He brandished his sword, the sword light like a rainbow, forcing the Wild Lion Warriors in front of him to retreat. However, two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention that these Wild Lion Warriors are elite warriors who can fight ten to one. Lei Yi soon suffered several wounds on his body, and blood stained his clothes red.

"Young Master Lei!" Dongfang Liuli, who was fighting with another Wild Lion Warrior in the distance, saw this scene and was extremely anxious. She wanted to step forward to help, but was entangled by the Wild Lion Warrior and could not escape at all.

"Hahaha, just prepare to die!" Military Advisor Shen Ji smiled triumphantly and commanded the Crazy Lion Warriors to launch a more fierce attack on Lei Yi.

Lei Yi gritted his teeth and held on. He knew that he was in a desperate situation, but he would never give up. He wanted to buy time for Dongfang Liuli and Lingdie Fairy, even if it was only a glimmer of hope!

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud crack erupted from one of the chamber's walls, as if some mechanism had been triggered... Dongfang Liuli's heart stirred, her gaze involuntarily drawn to the wall... "Boom!" Following the blast, a tiny crack appeared in the wall. Though fleeting, it caught the sharp eye of Dongfang Liuli. She wondered if there was a hidden secret behind this wall? Without giving it any thought, Dongfang Liuli tapped her toes and, taking advantage of the momentary tug-of-war with the Wild Lion Warrior, silently approached the wall.

"Want to play tricks? No way!" Shen Ji Military Advisor, who had been paying close attention to the battle, discovered Dongfang Liuli's intention. He smiled sinisterly and shouted to a burly Wild Lion Warrior, "Third Brother, go! Don't let her get close to that wall!"

The Wild Lion Warrior responded and pounced on Dongfang Liuli like a tiger descending from a mountain. Dongfang Liuli thought to himself that this was not good, but he could only bite the bullet and fight.

"Liuli, be careful!" Lei Yi's eyes were bloodshot. He tried his best to break through the attack of the leader of Badao Sect, but was repelled by the other party's palm, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Dongfang Liuli in danger, Lei Yi was extremely anxious. He did not care about his own injuries. He took a deep breath and displayed his fierce sword skills. He tore a hole in the attack of the leader of the Ba Dao Sect and rushed towards the mad lion warrior like an arrow.

"You don't know your own limitations!" The mad lion warrior sneered, swung the giant axe in his hand, and smashed it towards Lei Yi with the force of splitting mountains and splitting rocks.

A cold light flashed in Lei Yi's eyes. Instead of retreating, he advanced, his body ghostly sideways to avoid the sharp edge of the giant axe. The long sword in his hand stabbed out at a tricky angle, hitting the mad lion warrior's shoulder blade.

"Ah!" The Crazy Lion Warrior screamed, the axe in his hand falling limply. Lei Yi seized the opportunity and kicked him out, sending him crashing heavily against the wall.

"Puff!" Lei Yi spat out a mouthful of blood. The previous attack almost exhausted all his strength, but he had no time to catch his breath. He forced himself to support his shaky body and stood in front of Dongfang Liuli, staring at the enemies around him vigilantly.

"Young Master Lei..." Dongfang Liuli was touched, but she also knew that now was not the time to indulge in sentimentality. She pulled Lei Yi's sleeve and whispered, "I'm fine. Let's see what's behind that wall first."

Lei Yi nodded slightly, and the two of them approached the wall cautiously, reaching out to feel around.

"Found it!" Dongfang Liuli suddenly exclaimed in a low voice. She found a raised stone brick on the wall and pressed it lightly...

At this moment, the silent Psylocke Fairy suddenly spoke up, "Wait!"

She quickly walked over to Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli, pointed at a shadow in the corner, and said, "Look..." Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli looked in confusion, following the Spirit Butterfly Fairy's direction. They saw some strange patterns faintly visible in the shadow in the corner. These patterns were extremely hidden, and if it weren't for the Spirit Butterfly Fairy's meticulous mind and mastery of formations, they would probably have been difficult to detect.

"This is... a teleportation formation!" Dongfang Liuli carefully examined it for a moment and said in surprise, "It seems we are saved!"

Lei Yi was delighted, but his expression remained calm. He asked in a low voice, "Fairy Lingdie, will this formation work?"

Fairy Lingdie nodded slightly and said, "It should be possible, but this formation has been in disrepair for a long time, and..."

She didn't say anything else, but Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli both understood what she meant. Whether this formation could be successfully activated was still unknown, and even if it could be activated, it might not be able to teleport them out.

"I don't care about that anymore!" Lei Yi made a quick decision, "There's no time to lose, let's go!"

After saying that, he pulled up Dongfang Liuli and, together with Fairy Lingdie, rushed towards the formation without hesitation.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" Seeing this, the leader of the Badao Sect thought they were going to escape, and he immediately became furious. He took the remaining few Crazy Lion Warriors and chased after them with roars.

"Stop them!" Military Advisor Shen Ji also realized that something was wrong and screamed.

However, they were still a step too late. Lei Yi and the others had already rushed into the formation. Fairy Lingdie quickly pulled out a jade talisman from her bosom, muttered something, and pressed the jade talisman into the center of the formation.

"Buzz!"

The formation suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful force enveloped Lei Yi and others.

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!" Military Advisor Shen Ji's face changed drastically and he exclaimed.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The moment the formation activated, a powerful recoil force erupted, knocking the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect and several Wild Lion warriors who were at the forefront back to the ground. They fell heavily to the ground and were unable to get up for a long time.

"Ahem..." The Ba Dao Sect's leader, covered in dust, climbed up from the ground and roared angrily, "Quick, break this formation for me!"

However, no matter how they attacked, the formation remained motionless. Instead, it emitted powerful energy waves that trapped them firmly inside.

Inside the formation, Lei Yi and the others only felt a flash before their eyes, and heard a buzzing sound in their ears. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a dark passage.

The Fairy Lingdie held an ancient sheepskin map in her hand. With the help of the faint light, she pointed ahead and said, "This secret passage leads outside the ancient tomb. Let's go!"

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli exchanged glances, each seeing the solemnity in the other's eyes. They knew that the Ba Dao Sect's men would soon catch up, and they had to hurry...

"Be careful!" Fairy Lingdie suddenly shouted, and the map in her hand fell to the ground.

The Fairy Lingdie's face turned pale. She covered the bloodstain on her arm and gasped in pain.

"Fairy, you're injured!" Dongfang Liuli quickly supported her and asked with concern, "How is it? Is everything okay?"

"I'm fine," Fairy Lingdie shook her head, trying to hold back the pain and said, "It's just some superficial injuries, nothing serious."

Lei Yi picked up the sheepskin map from the ground and examined it carefully in the dim light. The map depicted the interior structure of the ancient tomb, its dense array of lines and symbols dazzling. He quickly located their current location and the route to the exit.

"This secret passage leads to the mountain behind the ancient tomb. It's a long way off, and..." Lei Yi frowned, pointing to a spot on the map and said, "It's marked with the word 'dangerous'. I'm afraid it won't be safe."

Dongfang Liuli followed his finger and felt a sinking feeling in her heart. They were in danger and needed to leave the ancient tomb as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Ba Dao Sect caught up with them, the consequences would be disastrous.

"We must leave here as soon as possible!" Dongfang Liuli said decisively, "Fairy, can you still hold on?"

The Fairy Psylocke gritted her teeth and said firmly, "No problem, let's go!"

The three of them didn't dare to delay and rushed along the dark secret passage towards the mountain behind the ancient tomb. The secret passage was silent, with only the sound of their hurried footsteps and breathing echoing.

At the same time, in the secret room, the people from the Badao Sect were still frantically attacking the formation.

"Damn it!" The leader of the Ba Dao Sect struck the formation with his palm, but it was like a drop in the ocean, without causing any ripples. Instead, the recoil force caused his blood to surge.

"Military Advisor, what is going on? Why is this formation so powerful?" asked the leader of the Ba Dao Sect angrily.

Military Advisor Shen Ji's face was gloomy, and his eyes flickered. He had never expected that this seemingly simple formation would be so difficult to break.

"Master, calm down," Military Advisor Shen Ji's eyes rolled as a plan came to mind. "Although this formation is powerful, it is not invincible. As long as we find the key to the formation, we can break out."

"The center of the formation?" The Ba Dao Sect's leader's eyes lit up. "Then what are you waiting for? Go find it!"

Military Advisor Shen Ji nodded, his eyes scanning the chamber until they finally settled on an unassuming stone platform in the corner. He quickly walked over and began to examine it carefully.

"Found it!" Military Advisor Shen Ji showed a hint of joy on his face, "The center of the formation is on this stone platform!"

The leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect was overjoyed and rushed over with several Wild Lion Warriors. He saw a complex pattern carved on the stone platform, which was the core of the formation.

"Smash it!" The leader of Ba Dao Sect gave an order, and several Crazy Lion Warriors waved their weapons and smashed the stone platform hard.

With a loud bang, the stone platform shattered, and the formation began to tremble violently...

At this time, Lei Yi and others were moving forward along the secret passage, but they found that there were many mechanisms and traps in the passage. They moved forward cautiously, and their speed was affected.

"Be careful!" Fairy Lingdie suddenly shouted, and a light flashed in her hand...
