Chapter 698: Facing the Initial Pressure: Xiao Bei's Plan
The pressure coming from afar became stronger and stronger, like an invisible giant hand, pressing down hard on everyone's heart.
Xiao Bei and others looked solemn, and the originally relaxed atmosphere was instantly replaced by tension.
The air seemed to freeze, and a sense of oppression came over me, like a mountain about to collapse, making it hard to breathe.
Xiao Bei clenched his fists, his joints creaking, and his eyes were as sharp as torches as he watched vigilantly in the direction where the pressure came from.
He could feel the power of this pressure, far exceeding any enemy they had encountered before.
An inexplicable sense of crisis surged in his heart, causing him to involuntarily tighten his grip on the sword in his hand.
The cold touch of the sword's hilt calmed him down a little, but the uneasiness in his heart lingered.
"This pressure..." Ling Feng took a deep breath, his face pale. "It's more than ten times stronger than the pressure in the previous illusion array!"
Ancient Talisman Master Mo Yuan stroked his long beard,
Bei Li leaned closely against Xiao Bei, his face pale and his breathing became rapid.
She could feel the horror of this pressure, as if it was going to crush her completely.
Xiao Bei turned to look at Bei Li. He knew that Bei Li's body had not fully recovered yet, and this powerful pressure would undoubtedly make things worse for her.
"Let's go and take a look." Xiao Bei said in a deep voice, with unquestionable firmness in his tone.
"But..." Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, "We just broke through the formation and have exhausted a lot of energy. If we go now..."
"I know." Xiao Bei interrupted Ling Feng and glanced at everyone, "But we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find out the source of this pressure."
He took a deep breath."
Bei Li held Xiao Bei's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry: "But..."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Xiao Bei gently patted the back of Bei Li's hand and gave her a reassuring look.
He turned to look at Ling Feng and Mo Yuan and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
After saying that, Xiao Bei took the lead and walked towards the direction where the pressure came from.
Lingfeng and Mo Yuan looked at each other and followed closely.
The three of them gradually disappeared in the vast clouds, leaving Beili alone, standing there alone, looking in the direction they left.
"Xiao Bei..." She murmured softly, silently praying for their safe return.
In the distant sky, a dazzling light suddenly flashed...
After the dazzling light, the pressure not only did not weaken, but became even stronger, impacting everyone's minds in waves like a tide.
Beili's face became paler and paler, his breathing became more rapid, and his chest heaved violently, as if he was about to suffocate.
She clutched the corner of Xiao Bei's clothes tightly, her knuckles turned white and her body trembled slightly.
Xiao Bei's heart suddenly tightened, he could clearly feel Bei Li's pain.
He wanted to protect her, wanted to shield her from this terrifying pressure, but he was powerless.
This feeling of powerlessness made him feel extremely frustrated and angry.
He held Beili's hand tightly, trying to warm her cold fingertips with his body temperature and use his strength to support her shaky body.
The air around seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.
Ling Feng and Mo Yuan's expressions also became solemn. They could feel the horror of this pressure, as well as Xiao Bei's anxiety and pain.
Xiao Bei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He knew that now was not the time to panic, he had to find a way to protect Beili and his companions.
He looked around and his eyes finally fell on a huge rock.
"Let's rest there first." Xiao Bei pointed at the rock and said in a surprisingly calm tone.
Ling Feng and Mo Yuan were both stunned. They didn't expect Xiao Bei to make such a decision.
Under such powerful pressure, resting in place is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
"Xiao Bei..." Ling Feng spoke with some concern.
"I know." Xiao Bei interrupted Ling Feng, his eyes firm, "But we can't go on. Li'er's body can't hold on any longer, we have to let her recover first."
Mo Yuan looked at Xiao Bei's determined eyes and nodded slowly: "Xiao Bei is right. Our current state is not suitable for moving forward. Let's rest for a while, adjust our state, and then make plans."
After everyone arrived at the rock, Xiao Bei gently helped Bei Li sit down and let her lean on his arms.
Bei Li's breathing was still rapid and her face was as pale as paper, but she tried hard to force a smile to reassure Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei felt distressed when he saw Bei Li's weak appearance.
He stroked her hair gently and whispered comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Everyone sat cross-legged, trying to regulate their breathing and restore their strength.
The air around them was still oppressive and the pressure was still strong, but the tense atmosphere had eased a little.
Suddenly, Xiao Bei opened his eyes abruptly. He protected Bei Li behind him and shouted, "Be careful!"
The wind was howling and sand and rocks were flying.
In the oppressive air, several dark shadows shot out like lightning, heading straight for Xiao Bei and the others.
They resemble ferocious beasts, yet are illusory, with a suffocating aura lingering around them. They are small, intimidating beasts formed by the condensation of aura.
Xiao Bei was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He drew his sword from its sheath. The sword light was like a rainbow, cutting through the air and making a sharp scream.
The sword's edge collided with the Pressure Beast, causing a ripple of energy that made the ground tremble slightly.
"Be careful, these beasts are extremely fast!" Lingfeng warned, waving the long whip in his hand, wrapping around a coercive beast like a spirit snake, and pulling it hard, throwing it away.
The coercive beast let out a sharp roar, rolled several times in the air, and then quickly stabilized its body and pounced on Lingfeng again.
The ancient rune master Mo Yuan formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Golden runes flew out from his fingertips and surrounded him like fireflies.
The runes flashed with dazzling light and emitted powerful energy fluctuations, forming an indestructible barrier that blocked all the attacks of the coercive beast.
While resisting the attacks of the coercive beast, Xiao Bei turned back from time to time and looked at Bei Li behind him with concern.
Beili hid behind him. Although her face was pale, her eyes were full of determination and trust.
Xiao Bei's loving eyes made her feel extremely at ease, and a warm atmosphere spread in the tense battle.
Ling Feng noticed the interaction between Xiao Bei and Bei Li, and a surge of power surged in his heart.
He took a deep breath and swung the whip in his hand even more vigorously, forcing back the intimidating beasts one by one.
The battle became more and more intense, the energy fluctuations became chaotic, the surrounding rocks were shattered, sand and rocks flew everywhere, covering the sky and the sun.
Although the immortals watching the battle from afar could not see the specific situation clearly, they could feel the suffocating pressure and intense energy fluctuations, and they couldn't help but worry for Xiao Bei and others.
"Xiao Bei..." Bei Li called softly,
Xiao Bei held Bei Li's hand with his backhand and gave her a reassuring look, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
At this moment, the ancient rune master Mo Yuan suddenly exclaimed, "These pressure beasts..." Before Mo Yuan finished his words, a pressure beast that tried to bypass Xiao Bei and attack Bei Li let out a shrill roar when it touched the edge of the light circle formed by Mo Yuan's runes. Its body began to disintegrate and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.
"They're afraid of Senior Mo Yuan's rune power!" Xiao Bei keenly noticed this, a gleam in his eyes, "Senior Mo Yuan, use your runes to trap them!"
Mo Yuan understood what he meant, and he quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. The golden runes were like flying golden butterflies, interweaving in the air to form a huge golden light net, covering all the remaining oppressive beasts.
The coercive beast struggled frantically in the light net, emitting bursts of roars, but it was unable to break free from the constraints of the runes. Its body gradually became illusory, and finally turned into black smoke and dissipated one by one.
The crisis was temporarily resolved, Xiao Bei's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
He turned to look at Beili, and seeing that she was safe and sound, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Xiao Bei, you saved me again." Bei Li's eyes flashed with gratitude as she held Xiao Bei's hand tightly.
"What nonsense are you talking about," Xiao Bei gently patted the back of Bei Li's hand, "It is my responsibility to protect you."
Ling Feng looked at Xiao Bei and Bei Li. Xiao Bei's calmness, decisiveness and strong strength made him convinced.
Ancient Talisman Master Mo Yuan also nodded slightly, with admiration in his eyes.
Xiao Bei's calmness in the face of danger and his keen observation skills made him look at him with new eyes.
Xiao Bei's prestige in the hearts of his partners increased again.
However, just when everyone felt a little relieved, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from afar. The pressure was even stronger than before, sweeping over like a tidal wave.
"Not good!" Mo Yuan's face suddenly changed, "It's a more powerful existence!"
Xiao Bei and others felt an irresistible force pressing down on them, and their bodies began to tremble involuntarily.
Xiao Bei tightly protected Bei Li behind him, looking firmly in the direction where the pressure came from, with a flicker of determination in his eyes...
"Here it comes..." He whispered, a hint of solemnity in his tone.
