Chapter 455 It works
Xiao Jihan carefully examined the area around the pyramid and could see a thin halo of light in the sunlight.
Xiao Jihan said, "There is a barrier around this pyramid. I will go and break the barrier first."
Xiao Jihan knew Su Muyao's determination to save Wen Nanxi, and he knew he had to be careful when breaking the barrier.
If the barrier is very strong, it would be very dangerous to break through it.
Xiao Jihan naturally didn't want Su Muyao to do something so dangerous.
Su Muyao grabbed Xiao Jihan and said, "No, this barrier looks very strong. Let's observe it first."
She planned to find the weakest point in the barrier before figuring out how to make a move.
She still has many magical artifacts given to her by Wei Jinmo in her space, including artifacts for breaking through barriers, which should come in handy.
The concern was that it might cause some commotion, so they lured Nan Feng out first.
Nan Feng is very strong, and she can use the Reverse Scale to deal with him, but Su Muyao is not very clear about the power of the Reverse Scale or Nan Feng's true strength.
Therefore, it is still necessary to be cautious and not to rashly confront Nan Feng, as that would also bring danger to Xiao Jihan.
In fact, Su Muyao knew that coming to rescue Wen Nanxi would be quite dangerous. She had made ample preparations and had also considered sending Xiao Jihan away so that he wouldn't have to take the risk.
She could no longer bear the possibility of losing any of her beastly husbands; she would surely go mad if she did.
But Xiao Jihan was very insistent on this matter and insisted on coming with her.
Then there's no way.
Therefore, Su Muyao could not only focus on saving people, but also had to take care of Xiao Jihan's safety.
Su Muyao revealed a trace of her supernatural power to probe the barrier's aura, silently finding its weak point.
Even though it's weak, it's still a barrier set up by Nan Feng, and it contains a lot of power.
Su Muyao took out the sea creature magic artifact that Wei Jinmo had given her, hoping to break through the barrier through this spot.
But as soon as it was touched, the barrier began to vibrate, and even snake patterns started to appear on it.
This means that this is a barrier set up by the snake-beastmen, and it contains the snake-beastmen's supernatural power.
If the barrier is forcibly broken, it will surely alert the snake-beastman who set it up.
Su Muyao knew that this must be Nan Feng.
Su Muyao quickly retrieved the magical artifact, fearing it would cause a huge commotion.
At this moment, the system spoke up: "Host, use the Reverse Scale. The Reverse Scale originally belonged to the Snake God and possesses powerful primordial spirit power. It can easily break through the barrier set up by Nan Feng. Since they are of the same origin, Nan Feng will definitely not be able to detect it."
Upon hearing the system's words, Su Muyao's expression shifted.
She took out the Reverse Scale, took a deep breath, and carefully placed it in a weak spot in the barrier.
She thought to herself that she should quietly open an opening in the barrier so that she and Jihan could enter silently and undetected.
It's unclear whether the Reverse Scale knew what she was thinking, but a faint light emanated from it, merging into the barrier. Then, the barrier opened an opening in front of Su Muyao, allowing her and Xiao Jihan to enter.
And there wasn't a sound at all.
Su Muyao's eyes lit up, "It really works!"
"Thank you."
Su Muyao gently touched the Serpent God's Reverse Scale, then carefully placed it in her arms before entering the barrier with Xiao Jihan.
Nanfeng probably thought there was a barrier in place, so there were no guards outside.
Even if guards are sent, Su Muyao is not worried.
She prepared invisibility talismans for herself and Xiao Jihan.
With invisibility talismans, they easily found the pyramid's entrance and silently bypassed the guards at the gate to enter. Inside the pyramid, there were guards at regular intervals.
Su Muyao discovered that many of these guards were at level eighteen, a level of supernatural power that would be considered top-tier in the Beast World Continent.
One or two of them alone could easily overwhelm many orcs.
But they were merely guards inside the pyramid.
The system whispered, "Host, most of the guards here are snake-beastmen."
"But they are not ancient celestial serpents, they are just ordinary snake beastmen. Snake beastmen are rarely seen outside, but there are quite a few here."
Su Muyao communicated with the system telepathically, saying, "It seems that Nan Feng gathered them here."
Su Muyao felt that the aura of the snake-beastmen guarding this place was different from the snake-beastmen she had seen through the temple.
The snake-beastmen here exude a chilling aura.
Su Muyao carefully walked into the pyramid, which was like a maze. Fortunately, she could sense the aura emanating from Wen Nanxi and the summoning power within.
She believed that as long as she followed this calling force, she could find Wen Nanxi.
Following the power of the summons, she walked towards the bottom level, where an inextinguishable ghostly fire burned on both sides of the passage, its light making the serpentine mural patterns carved on the stone walls appear even more eerie.
Xiao Jihan walked ahead of Su Muyao, constantly watching his surroundings to prevent any danger from occurring.
His pale white robes blended almost seamlessly into the shadows in the dimly lit passageway.
At the end of the passage, different passages meander out.
Su Muyao looked at Xiao Jihan, who seemed to sense something and turned back to her with a look.
He pointed to the stone wall on the left at the end of the corridor, which was quite different from the roughness of the other areas and was clearly a secret door leading to the secret room.
Guided by the pulling force in her heart, Su Muyao could also sense that Wen Nanxi was inside.
She observed the stone wall on the left in front of her and noticed that the snake eyes in the mural looked strange and out of place.
She stepped forward and touched it, her expression shifting. She nodded to Xiao Jihan and then pointed her finger at the snake's eyes.
Xiao Jihan quietly set up a barrier in front of the hidden door so that the sound of the door opening wouldn't be heard outside.
After setting up the barrier, Su Muyao reached out and ran her hand across the snake's eye on the stone wall. Immediately, the hidden door opened, revealing a secret passage leading down the stairs.
In that instant, a damp and chilly aura from the secret chamber rushed in, even colder than the one felt when entering the pyramid. It was mixed with a strong stench of blood and the chaotic scent of dissipated spiritual energy, making one extremely uncomfortable.
Su Muyao walked down the steps quietly. With each step, the summoning force in her chest became more intense, as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart, and even her fingertips began to go numb.
Su Muyao almost lost her balance, and Xiao Jihan stepped forward to support her, saying, "Be careful."
At this moment, Su Muyao felt a throbbing pain in her chest, as if she had a buzzing tinnitus.
She tried to suppress the pain in her chest and quickly moved downwards.
When they reached the bottom and turned a corner, Su Muyao finally saw the scene of the secret room.
Her pupils contracted sharply.
Several bronze pillars engraved with snake patterns stood at the four corners, with cold-looking chains hanging from the tops of the pillars and firmly embedded in the green-bamboo-colored snake on the ground.
It was an extremely beautiful green bamboo snake. Its scales should have shone with a glossy sheen like grass after rain, but most of them had fallen off, revealing the bleeding flesh underneath. The few remaining scales no longer shone, as if covered by a layer of gray mist.
His snake body lay limply curled up on the ground, with only his tail occasionally twitching very slightly, proving that he was still alive.
With just one glance, Su Muyao's eyes reddened, and she murmured in a trembling voice, "Nanxi!"
She knew this time there was no mistake; this was her Wen Nanxi.
The calling power in her heart, the instinctive pain in her heart, told her that this was Nanxi.
