Chapter 127 Mechanical Puppets
"You need to carefully search for the Seven Star Herbs in this valley, following the directions indicated by the Big Dipper. Once you find them, place them on the stone platform in the center of the valley. However, please be very careful, as you will face many dangerous traps and obstacles in the process."
Huan Yuechu took a deep breath, her eyes unwavering, and spoke resolutely.
"No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead may be, I will do everything I can to rescue my comrades!"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the valley, everyone else was deeply trapped in their own nightmares, unable to extricate themselves.
Relying on her deep-seated memories of astrological knowledge, Huan Yuechu cautiously embarked on a journey to find the Seven Star Grass.
The journey has been fraught with crises and difficulties.
Sometimes, sharp spikes would suddenly emerge from the ground without warning, attempting to pierce her body.
Sometimes, seemingly calm and uneventful ground will suddenly turn into a swamp fraught with hidden dangers, and if you are not careful, you will be trapped in it and unable to get out.
However, every time she faced such a sudden and deadly threat, Huan Yuechu was always able to turn danger into safety and successfully evade it with her lightning-fast agility and calm mind in the face of danger.
Just when Huan Yuechu thought she was about to successfully complete the mission, a large patch of lush green grass suddenly appeared in front of her.
Just as she was happily preparing to go forward and pick the seven-star grass.
A gigantic python, like a black lightning bolt, darted out of the grass, its gaping maw spitting out its scarlet tongue, blocking her path.
Huan Yuechu dared not be negligent in the slightest. She quickly gripped her sword and focused intently on a thrilling life-or-death struggle with the ferocious giant python.
After several rounds, neither side would give an inch, and it was difficult to determine a winner for a time.
Finally, at a crucial moment, Huan Yuechu keenly spotted the giant python's weakness.
With a swift movement, she swung her sword down with tremendous force, slashing fiercely at the giant python's head.
A scream rang out, and the giant python's massive head rolled to the ground, splattering blood everywhere.
After dealing with the giant python, Huan Yuechu didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She quickly and skillfully placed the Seven Star Grass she had just picked neatly on the central stone platform, just as the mysterious artifact spirit had instructed her to do.
In an instant, a dazzling light flashed by...
As time passed, the surrounding illusion gradually dissipated, like fog blown away by the wind.
She blinked, adjusting to the gradually brightening light, then her gaze swept eagerly around her.
One by one, the companions slowly emerged from their various hidden corners, each with a lingering look of shock on their faces.
Just then, a small figure rushed over like a gust of wind and threw itself straight into Huan Yuechu's arms.
It turned out to be Xiao Bao. He hugged Huan Yuechu tightly, his voice trembling slightly.
"Sister, I...I'm so scared! It felt like something terrifying was chasing us from inside the fog."
Huan Yuechu gently patted Xiao Bao's back and softly comforted him.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, everything's alright now, your sister will protect you."
Just as everyone had calmed down a bit, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing a familiar yet unique fragrance.
The aroma seemed to possess a certain magic, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Xiao Bao suddenly raised his head, his nostrils flared, his eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly.
"It's Mother! This is Mother's unique scent!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits immediately lifted.
His previously dejected expression, which had been somewhat downcast due to his earlier experience, now became invigorated.
They looked at each other, and a sense of hope and courage welled up in their hearts.
So the group repacked and set off with firm steps into the depths of the valley.
They knew very well that, although things seemed to have returned to calm on the surface.
However, in reality, the truly formidable challenges that must be bravely faced may only be beginning to emerge, like the prelude to a thrilling drama.
With a mix of trepidation and curiosity, they followed the faint, wispy fragrance as they walked forward.
As they continued to walk forward, the surrounding scenery became increasingly strange and eerie.
Various exotic flowers and plants, whose names I do not know, swayed gently in the breeze, each emitting a faint glow.
It's as if they conceal countless mysterious stories and untold, earth-shattering secrets.
These lights, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, intertwine to create a dreamlike picture that captivates the viewer, making it hard to tear themselves away.
Just then, a huge portal emitting a soft blue light suddenly appeared in front of them without warning, standing there quietly, like an entrance to another world.
"What is this?" Wen Xingyu asked, her voice filled with confusion.
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one could give a definite answer.
Huan Yuechu frowned slightly, lost in thought for a moment.
After a moment, she raised her head, her gaze resolute, and said, "Let's not worry about that now. Since we've followed Xiaobao's mother's scent all the way here, there must be a crucial clue hidden behind this door. No matter what, we have to go in and find out!"
Upon hearing her say this, the others were taken aback at first, but then nodded in agreement.
So, the group carefully took their first steps and slowly stepped into the portal that emitted a mysterious blue light.
But when they actually entered, the scene before them astonished everyone—behind the door lay a hidden paradise, a magnificent and enchanting haven.
Everywhere you look, there are lush trees, blooming flowers, and verdant grass—a truly vibrant and beautiful scene!
However, it wasn't long before they realized that things were far more complicated than they seemed.
Suddenly, a large number of mechanical puppets emerged from the beautiful flower bushes and launched a fierce attack on the group like a tidal wave.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Huan Yuechu stepped forward without hesitation, shouting loudly for her companions to rise up and fight back together.
The sword in her hand gleamed with a cold light, and with each swing, it precisely severed the mechanical puppets that tried to approach.
At the same time, she loudly reminded everyone, "Everyone, please be careful! I think these puppets are controlled by some kind of program. If we can find the location of their central control point, we might be able to stop them from continuing their attack!"
