Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 235 Spirit Vulture Explores the Mystery of the Restricted System and the Crisis

Zhang Peng led his team forward relentlessly toward Lingjiu Mountain. Along the way, everyone's expressions were solemn, the atmosphere slightly oppressive; each person was well aware of the daunting nature of this mission. Lingjiu Mountain soared into the clouds, its summit perpetually shrouded in mist, appearing from afar like a mysterious, solitary island suspended in the sky.

“According to ancient records, the Spirit Crystal Heart is sealed on the summit of Lingjiu Mountain, but the protective barrier is extremely strong, so we must proceed with caution.” Zhang Peng looked up at the mountaintop shrouded in mist, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with vigilance.

As they stepped into the territory of Lingjiu Mountain, an ancient and mysterious aura enveloped them. The forest was eerily quiet, broken only by the occasional call of an unknown bird, which added to the unsettling atmosphere. The team members proceeded cautiously, gripping their weapons tightly, their spiritual energy circulating around them, ready to face any potential dangers at any moment.

Suddenly, one of the team members in front slipped, triggering a hidden trap. Instantly, countless sharp stone spikes surged from the ground, like clusters of swords, piercing towards the group. "Watch out!" Zhang Peng shouted, quickly unleashing the Chaos Spirit Technique, his five-colored spiritual energy forming a sturdy shield in front of him, blocking the stone spikes.

"Is everyone alright?" Zhang Peng turned to his teammates and asked with concern. Everyone shook their heads, indicating they were all fine.

"It seems there are more traps and restrictions in Lingjiu Mountain than we imagined. Everyone must be careful and not touch anything suspicious," Zhang Peng said solemnly, reminding everyone again.

Continuing onward, they arrived at an ancient stone forest. The stones in the forest were of various shapes, some like sharp swords piercing the sky, others like ferocious beasts baring their fangs and claws. As soon as Zhang Peng stepped into the stone forest, he sensed a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy, as if something was secretly watching them.

"Everyone be careful, there might be danger here." As soon as Zhang Peng finished speaking, the stones in the stone forest suddenly moved, transforming into giant stone figures that attacked the group. Although the stone figures moved slowly, they possessed immense power, each attack accompanied by a whooshing sound, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Zhang Peng and the others quickly dispersed, unleashing their respective spells to engage the stone golems in battle. Zhang Peng employed the exquisite techniques of the Chaos Spiritual Art, his multicolored sword energy crisscrossing and forcing the stone golems to retreat steadily. However, the stone golems were numerous, continuously pouring out of the stone forest, and the group gradually found themselves in a fierce battle.

"This won't do; we must find the weaknesses of these stone men." Zhang Peng thought of a countermeasure while fending off the stone men's attacks. He carefully observed the stone men's movements and found that their joints were relatively weak, which seemed to be the key to their attacks.

"Attack the stone golem's joints!" Zhang Peng shouted. Hearing this, the team members adjusted their attacks, concentrating their strength on the stone golem's joints. Sure enough, the stone golem's movements became sluggish, and more and more cracks appeared on its body.

After a fierce battle, the stone men were finally defeated and turned into a pile of rubble. The group breathed a sigh of relief and were about to continue their journey when suddenly, a huge light screen appeared in the sky, its surface shimmering with mysterious runes, enveloping the entire mountaintop.

"This is the restriction protecting the Heart of the Spirit Crystal; we must find a way to break it." Zhang Peng looked at the restriction before him, a determined glint in his eyes. He carefully studied the runes on the light screen, trying to find a way to break it.

Meanwhile, Wang Yongli's reconnaissance team made a new discovery near the mine. They found that the mysterious force seemed to have completed the setup of the "Spirit Gathering and Dragon Trapping Formation" and was waiting for a crucial moment to activate the ritual.

"We must inform the family head of this news as soon as possible and urge them to speed up the search for the Spirit Crystal Heart." Wang Yongli said anxiously, and immediately sent a team member back to Qingyun Sect to deliver the message to Zhang Peng.

On Mount Lingjiu, after some research, Zhang Peng finally discovered a way to break the restriction. He gathered his team members together and explained the steps to break it in detail.

"Listen up, everyone. We need to attack several rune nodes on the light screen simultaneously in a specific order to break this restriction. This process must be precise, otherwise, if the restriction's counterattack is triggered, we will all be in danger." Zhang Peng's expression was solemn, his eyes revealing determination.

The team members nodded in agreement. They each found their positions, gathered their spiritual energy, and prepared to launch an attack according to Zhang Peng's instructions.
