Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

Ning Yan was completely unable to control his body. He was controlled by the unknown sound of the wooden fish and walked forward step by step.

As he got closer, the sound of the wooden fish became clearer and clearer, mixed with faint whispers, like an ancient curse, or a call from the abyss, as if urging him towards death.

The dim light became increasingly weak, making it almost impossible to see.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye. On the walls on both sides of the stone road, some mysterious symbols emitting faint blue light appeared. These symbols were twisted and strange, as if they were constantly wriggling and possessed a strange vitality, which reminded people of the swarms of bees they had encountered before.

Looking forward, he could vaguely see something strange on the ground.

Not far away, the ground seemed to suddenly cave in, forming a huge black hole, surrounded by an even stronger smell of decay. The black hole seemed like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, waiting to swallow him.

He wanted to shout, wanted to struggle, but his throat seemed to be strangled and he couldn't make any sound. His limbs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, and his heart was beating wildly in his chest, as if it would burst through his chest at any time.

"clatter."

"clatter."

"clatter."

As the distance got closer, he could even see the white corpses in the black hole. Some were already incomplete, while others were still struggling in the posture of death. There seemed to be lingering fear before death on their faces, as if they had also experienced what he was experiencing now.

To be honest, Ning Yan could fully understand the fear they felt before they died.

Along the way he tried various methods to try to regain control of his body.

However, no matter the surging power flowing through the body or the majestic power of the mind, none of them could break through the blockade of the physical shell. They were all firmly sealed within the body, unable to interfere with one's own actions at all.

This situation was something he had never expected.

How to do?
Is it really going to be like our predecessors, falling into a pit miserably and turning into dry bones in the cave?
As the trap in front of him got closer and closer, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

At the critical moment, he tried his best to mobilize all the strength in his body and poured it into the Yu character stele frantically.

In an instant, the stone tablet shone brightly and flew out of his body. It quickly grew larger in the outside world and turned into a huge stele that stood between him and the trap, successfully blocking his way.

Although he still couldn't control his body, after touching the seal, he could only take steps in front of the seal in vain, unable to cross this huge obstacle at all.

"Sure enough, I guessed it right!"

Ning Yan's nose was pressed against the icy stone tablet. The tip of his nose could feel the rough texture on the stone tablet. A chill spread from the tip of his nose to his whole body. But even in such a dangerous situation, a hint of joy rose in his heart.

He had long guessed that the hidden sound of the wooden fish could control his body, but it was unable to achieve fine-scale control. Once an obstacle appeared ahead and the established route was blocked, he could only struggle in vain like he was doing now.

However, discovering this alone is far from enough to completely resolve the current life-and-death crisis.

The most important thing at the moment is to find the hiding place of the wooden fish and smash this damn thing to pieces.

But before he could come up with a countermeasure, the sound of the wooden fish being struck hidden in the darkness suddenly increased. The sharp sound was like a sharp blade piercing his eardrum. It felt very close, as if the wooden fish was hanging next to his ear and striking madly.

The body that was originally firmly blocked by the stone tablet continued to move forward uncontrollably, like a mad bull, squeezing forward frantically.

This situation is like a person who is blocked by a thick wall on the road, and now an unknown mysterious force is driving him to push down the wall.

It is difficult for normal people to exert strength beyond their own limits, that is to say, it is almost impossible to push down this wall without damaging the body.

But now Ning Yan was being controlled by an unknown force, just like wearing a powerful battle armor, his strength was increasing, maybe he could really smash the wall with one punch. But the result was that at the moment the wall was broken, his arm would also be completely turned into minced meat and broken bones under this huge impact force.

If he continues to hold on like this, the most likely outcome is that he will be killed in front of his own stone tablet spiritual weapon.

This ending was so tragic that Ning Yan felt a chill down his spine just thinking about it.

Feeling the stabbing pain in his arm, he knew he had to respond immediately.

Ning Yan gritted his teeth and concentrated his mind on slightly shrinking the stone tablet that was blocking the road ahead. This way, the force required to push the stone tablet was much less, and he was barely able to push the stone tablet forward.

This step was just a delaying tactic, which could only buy him some time to get closer to the trap. Moreover, this time was extremely limited, and he had to find the root cause of the crisis in this short period of time.

Ning Yan acted decisively and quickly summoned the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl that he had just stored in his consciousness space not long ago.

At this time, the seriously injured star beast Liuliujia was sleeping and recuperating in the Wanshou Pearl.

Under normal circumstances, it would take a lot of time and precious spiritual objects to restore the Liuliujia to its original state.

Fortunately, Ning Yan had practiced the powerful technique "Tianji Beast Taming Technique", which not only enabled him to control his pet, but also to use his own strength to heal his pet.

He did not dare to delay for even a second and immediately injected all his mental power into the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl.

I saw black and white light flowing on the surface of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl, blending and changing like the yin and yang of Tai Chi. A trace of my mind quickly turned into pure original power and was injected into it, and was quickly absorbed by the Liuliujia sleeping in the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl.

With the constant nourishment of Ning Yan's power, the Star Beast Liuliujia gradually regained some vitality, and the blue light outlining its body gradually became brighter, and it no longer looked as listless and half-dead as before.

But unfortunately, it did not recover to its peak state as Ning Yan expected.

After all, this is a powerful star beast of the third realm. With his current mental strength, even if he lets it absorb it all, it can only recover to the Hua Jin level at best.

If Liuliujia is to return to the third realm, he must have a stronger supply of power and more rare spiritual objects to nourish him.

While he was thinking, the pangolin-like Liuliujia had already rushed out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl.

Its body was flashing with strange blue light, and it quickly leaped forward following Ning Yan's instructions.

The darkness was like thick ink, completely swallowing up everything. The figure of Beast Armor was looming in the endless darkness, like an erratic ghost.

Its speed was extremely fast, and every time it galloped, it brought up sharp gusts of wind wherever it passed. The sound of the wind was like the howling of ghosts and wolves, echoing in this dead silent underground palace, adding a bit of horror to the atmosphere.

Ning Yan frowned, his heart full of worry. To be honest, he really couldn't believe that Liuliujia would be able to successfully catch the old bastard who was hiding in the dark and beating the wooden fish.

Thinking back to the strange methods displayed by the other party, being able to control his body so accurately was extremely perverted and unbelievable, which made him full of doubts about the outcome of Liuliujia's actions.

He knew in his heart that if Liuliujia was at his peak and his strength was at the peak of the third realm, he might still have the capital to compete with Lao Yin and occupy a place in this contest.

But now, Liuliujia was just a sickly rookie, his vitality was seriously damaged, and his strength was greatly reduced. In his opinion, if he could be lucky enough to find the opponent's hiding place, it would be a great achievement. He really didn't dare to have too many unrealistic expectations for him.

Time passes by minute by minute in this tense atmosphere, and every second seems to be infinitely stretched.

Ning Yan was filled with anxiety, his eyes fixed on the depths of darkness, expecting Liuliujia to bring good news.

However, there was deathly silence on Liuliujia's side, without any movement. He was still wandering around aimlessly in the vast hall, searching blindly like a headless fly.

To Ning Yan's surprise, the scale of this hall was far larger than the two he had passed before, and its interior space was larger than he had imagined.

What's even more difficult is that the hall is full of complex and strange formations, which emit dark light and interweave into an invisible net. Not only that, there are also some special abnormal conditions in the space.

The so-called anomalies are some spaces that seem normal and unremarkable, but in fact contain mysteries.

When trying to cross, one would either be blocked by an invisible force and unable to move forward, or after crossing, one would immediately appear somewhere else without any warning, as if entering a mysterious space maze. Obviously, the spatial order in this hall had long been completely disrupted, and it had fallen into a state of chaos and disorder, and it was impossible to move freely in it according to common sense.

However, from this chaotic layout, Ning Yan came to a slightly comforting conclusion.

There is no doubt that the old bastard who was beating the wooden fish in the dark must be hiding in this complex space, otherwise there would be no need to arrange it so intricately and set up so many obstacles.

But at this moment, the only thing that worries Ning Yan is whether Liuliujia can successfully find the trace of the old bastard before he falls into the horrible trap. After all, he has very little time left, every second is extremely precious, and the shadow of death is approaching step by step.

Just as Ning Yan was worried, a faint sound suddenly came from the darkness, followed by a more obvious emotional fluctuation coming from Liuliujia.

Ning Yan's heart tightened. He adjusted the size of the stone tablet and stared at the direction where the sound came from.

He knew that Liuliujia must have encountered some accident.

Liu Liu Jia accidentally bumped into a complex array in the hall. The surrounding light was bright, and countless sharp rays of light slashed at Liu Liu Jia. The light intertwined together to form an airtight cage, trapping Liu Liu Jia inside.

Ning Yan's heart sank to the bottom in an instant. With such terrifying power, even a cultivator at the peak of Hua Jin would have to be on high alert, not to mention a star beast like Liuliujia that had not yet recovered.

However, just as he was nervous, the situation on the field was completely different from what he expected.

Liuliujia jumped around in the formation, and the strange blue light that made up its body merged very smoothly, changing into various forms, and easily dodged various formation attacks that were originally impossible to avoid, as if it was the instinct of a living thing.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yan couldn't believe his eyes.

But when you think about it, this situation seems normal.

The formation that blocked the passage in the stone road before seemed to have no effect on Liuliujia.

After all, the life form of star beasts is different from that of ordinary monsters and they have no real entity.

A considerable portion of the so-called formations are aimed directly at the body, with the core being to destroy the basis of material existence.

While thinking, the Liuliujia that escaped from the formation did not stop. It continued to shuttle through the hall. No matter what formation it mistakenly entered, it could always easily avoid the killing of the formation. Those seemingly powerful formations could never cause any substantial damage to it.

Ning Yan was overjoyed when he saw this. He realized that Liuliujia might be the key to solving this crisis. Perhaps, this seemingly sickly star beast could really find the mysterious old bastard before he fell into the trap.

At that moment, he immediately gave orders to Liuliujia.

Liuliujia is a pet that he successfully tamed not long ago. Although its identity is a little special, it is still a pet after all and is subject to many pet-related restrictions, but it also has corresponding abilities.

For example, now Ning Yan can communicate with Liuliujia over a long distance through his mind and direct its subsequent actions.

The reason why he let it move freely before was purely to see its own exploration capabilities.

Now that it has been verified and we know that it can pass through many formations smoothly, it is almost time to resolve the current crisis.

In a flash, he issued many orders and gave comprehensive instructions for Liuliujia's subsequent actions.

Fortunately, although Liuliujia has a low IQ, he is an obedient person. He did not go against his wishes and carried out actions in the hall according to his instructions.

It passed through many formations that blocked or concealed its way one by one, and in the process of passing through, some formations would reveal their internal formation patterns and attack formations.

As more and more information was collected from all sides, the stench of decay that could be smelled became stronger and stronger.

Seeing that the huge trap was about to approach the stone tablet he had been pushing, he finally found the core position of the hall.

"Sixteen feet to the right!"

"Five feet forward!"

"More up!"

“Keep going up!”

Following Ning Yan's order, the Liuliujia darted forward like a swimming fish. Its shape changed from time to time during the movement, and it occasionally appeared in other places like a flash, but Ning Yan still did not change the order.

Until finally, it swooped upwards and its figure suddenly appeared behind him.

Then, it was like a mirror was shattered.

Amidst the countless shining rays of light, the sounds of wooden fish all around suddenly became louder.

A bleeding wooden fish suddenly appeared in his sight. (End of this chapter)
