I am Yuan Niaoniao

Chapter 167 2 becomes 1

"It's really strange! We have been waiting here for nearly half a month, but we haven't seen even a single member of the Rong Dog tribe. Could it be that they have moved their position?" Gong Jiaxin frowned, staring at the tightly closed cave entrance in confusion, and muttered to herself.

"Well... I don't think so. After all, the last battle caused them heavy losses and seriously damaged their vitality. So now they need time to recover." Zhenyuan said after thinking for a while.

"However, this situation still makes me feel something is wrong. According to common sense, the Rong Dog Clan should not leave this place easily. After all, this is their lair. Moreover, if they really want to move their position, they should leave some traces or clues. But now, it is so quiet here, as if nothing has happened, and it is unlikely that they will not be in seclusion for a whole month." Yan Muyu said in a serious tone after pondering for a moment.

After hearing Yan Muyu's analysis, Gong Jiaxin and Zhenyuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Everyone realized that things might be more complicated than they thought. Perhaps the Rong Dog Clan was planning a bigger conspiracy, and they knew nothing about it. Thinking of this, the mood of several people became heavier.

"Could Ruierlan have escaped?" Yuan Niaoniao said.

"Your Majesty, we have inspected and found that no one has left this mountain stronghold." Takuyi Muzhen came back and said.

"That's strange, where did they go?" Yan Muyu said with a frown.

"Could there be a tunnel?" Chen Shaoyi guessed.

"Well, it's possible, but we have carefully searched the area within a radius of ten miles starting from here, but we didn't find any suspicious places such as tunnel entrances and exits." Takumi shook his head.

"Could it be that they are hiding?" Yan Muyu asked.

"This possibility is not great. After all, there are so many people here. No matter how they hide, they still need food and water. And these foreigners like them live by relying on mountains and rivers. They eat whatever nature gives them." Chen Shaoyi said.

"Agree." Takumi Makoto agreed with Chen Shaoyi's guess.

"What should we do? We can't just let them disappear like this, right?" Gong Jiaxin said anxiously.

"Let's look for it again. Maybe there's some place we haven't found yet." Chen Shaoyi said.

So, everyone started looking everywhere, leaving no corner untouched. However, the result was the same: no one was found.

"Could it be that they used some special method to leave here?" Chen Shaoyi suddenly thought.

"For example... invisibility?" Yuan Niaoniao said, suddenly thinking of something.

"Or is it some other kind of witchcraft, or a sleight of hand?" Chen Shaoyi added.

"How is this possible! If they know these, why don't they use them against us directly?" Yan Muyu questioned.

"I also think it's unlikely." Zhenyuan said to everyone, although he knew that there are all kinds of strange things in this world.

"No matter what, we must find Ruierlan as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Yan Muyu said seriously.

At this time, a secret guard came running to report: "Your Majesty, we found some strange symbols and patterns in a house on the mountain behind the village."

"Take me to see it quickly!" Yan Muyu said hurriedly.

"Yes!" The secret guard led everyone to the room, only to see that the walls were engraved with all kinds of strange symbols and patterns, which looked like some ancient text or spell.

"What do these mean?" Yan Muyu asked puzzledly.

"I don't know, but it looks very mysterious." Gong Jiaxin stood beside him and looked at him carefully. Indeed, she didn't understand either.

"Could this be the key to why they haven't shown up for so long?" Zhenyuan thought that this strange house might be related to the village.

"It's possible, but we have to figure out the meaning of these symbols and patterns first." Chen Shaoyi said.

"But who can decipher these things?" Takumi asked. The characters of the Sturgeon Dragon Clan had no similarity to this and were difficult to decipher at all.

"I can try." Yuan Niaoniao said. She vaguely felt that these words and patterns seemed to be floating.

"You can?" Chen Shaoyi looked at Niao Niao with some surprise. After so long, she could still give him some surprises from time to time.

"Some of my memories show that I have studied ancient culture." Yuan Niaoniao thought about it and had to explain it this way. She couldn't say that she was the Goddess of Hibiscus in her previous life and could decipher ancient culture.

"Oh? Then can you decipher these symbols?" Yan Muyu was not very surprised. After he came back from the Sturgeon Dragon Clan, the only thing that surprised him was Gong Jiaxin. However, he quickly accepted Gong Jiaxin's peculiarity and did not find it strange or weird at all.

"Let me try." Yuan Niao Niao walked to the wall and carefully observed the symbols. Then she closed her eyes and touched the words and patterns with her hands. Sure enough, after entering the state of spiritual consciousness, these words and patterns suddenly became familiar to her. After careful study, she finally cracked the mystery.

"These symbols are an ancient magic spell that can open a door leading to another barrier, or to another place." Yuan Niaoniao said, opening her eyes.

"Another barrier? Place?" everyone asked in surprise.

"That's right. According to legend, there are many mysterious places in this world, and these places are protected by powerful forces. Only by mastering specific spells and techniques can you enter these places." Yuan Niaoniao explained.

"So that means that the people of the Rongquan tribe might have used this spell to enter another barrier or place?" Chen Shaoyi asked.

"Yes, and I guess they must have entered through a specific entrance." Yuan Niaoniao said.

"Where is the entrance?" Yan Muyu asked impatiently.

"I'm not sure yet. It may be here, or there may be more than one, for example, there may be one in their village!" Yuan Niaoniao said.

"Search!" Yan Muyu said, and immediately began to look around the house.

So, everyone started a new round of searching. This time, they checked every detail more carefully, hoping to find the hidden entrance.

Finally, in a corner, they found a unique stone with a smooth surface and some strange patterns carved on it.

"There's something wrong with this stone." Zhenyuan said as he picked up the stone.

"It should be it, but you need to enter the correct spell to open it." Yuan Niaoniao carefully observed the stone in Zhenyuan's hand, then turned to look at the words on the wall and said.

"Then do you know the spell?" Gong Jiaxin asked Yuan Niaoniao.

"Of course, I have already cracked the spell on the wall. Just recite it in order." Yuan Niaoniao said and began to recite the spell. As her voice sounded, the stone began to emit a faint light, and then slowly rose up, revealing a dark entrance.

"Is this the passage leading to another place?" Yan Muyu exclaimed.

"That's right, follow me." Yuan Niaoniao realized that there was no danger, so she took the lead and walked into the passage.

Everyone followed carefully, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, just in case. There was a mysterious atmosphere in the passage, which made people feel a little nervous.

After walking for a while, the passage became narrower and narrower, until there was only enough space for one person. At this moment, a dazzling light appeared in front of them, illuminating the entire passage.

"What is that?" Gong Jiaxin asked in surprise.

"I don't know, but we will know soon." Yan Muyu said behind her.

When they approached the light, they found that it was a door. The door was engraved with various strange symbols and patterns, and it was shining with golden light.

"This door looks so amazing!" Zhenyuan exclaimed.

"That's right, but it may not be that easy to open it." Yuan Niaoniao said. "Let me try." Yuan Niaoniao said as she walked forward and stretched out her hands to press on the door. She closed her eyes and muttered something, as if she was casting some kind of spell.

After a while, the light on the door gradually disappeared, and the door slowly opened. Everyone's eyes lit up, and they saw a huge cave inside the door, which was flashing with colorful lights.

"What is this place?" Yan Muyu asked in surprise.

"Welcome to the Lost Land." A voice suddenly came from deep in the cave. The voice was very familiar, like...

"Railan?" Yan Muyu recalled Ruierlan's voice based on his memory. It was a bit similar and a bit different.

"Not like that." Gong Jiaxin shook her head and said.

"Han Haotian." Yuan Niao Niao said coldly. Even if he turned into ashes, she would still recognize Han Haotian's voice.

Chen Shaoyi also stared coldly ahead.

"Long time no see, everyone." Han Haotian was wearing a dark red robe, his eyes were dark and his lips were also dark red. He looked very weird.

"What a weird thing." Gong Jiaxin said with a look of contempt.

"Your taste seems to have deteriorated a lot." Yan Muyu looked at Han Haotian with a smile.

"Hahahahahaha," Han Haotian laughed without caring at all, his voice sometimes sounding like a man's and sometimes a woman's. "You guys can come in, but have you ever thought that you can't get out?"

"Oh no, Ruierlan has merged with him!" Yuan Niaoniao said with a frown.

"I didn't expect that the descendants of General Yuan were so well-known. A girl in seclusion knows everything about astronomy and geography, and is even proficient in ancient Chinese." Han Haotian looked at Yuan Niao Niao meaningfully. "Since you are all here, I will send you off together!" After saying that, a strong wind began to appear in the whole space.

"Xiaoyuan, give me the stone!" Yuan Niaoniao realized something was wrong. They couldn't use their internal strength here. At the critical moment, she remembered the stone, maybe it was the key!

Zhenyuan quickly threw the stone to Yuan Niaoniao, who took it and chanted a spell. In an instant, a strange light emanated from the stone, forming a protective shield that enveloped everyone.

Seeing this, Han Haotian increased the wind force in an attempt to destroy the protective shield. But Yuan Niaoniao held the stone tightly and continued to inject the power of the goddess, making the protective shield stronger.

During the stalemate, Yuan Niaoniao discovered Han Haotian's weakness. She concentrated her energy, gathered her divine power at her fingertips, and shot a beam of light in the direction of Han Haotian.

Han Haotian was unable to dodge and was hit by the beam. Although it was not fatal, it was enough to make him lose his temper. However, he immediately knew Yuan Niaoniao's identity: "Goddess Hibiscus!"

Hearing this, Yuan Niaoniao was shocked at first. Something was wrong with Han Haotian. He could see through and know her identity! But taking this opportunity, Yuan Niaoniao led everyone to rush to the exit and successfully escaped from the Lost Land.

"What is going on?" Yan Muyu asked with some confusion.

"If I'm not mistaken, Ruierlan may have possessed Han Haotian's body, but Han Haotian's consciousness devoured Ruierlan!" Yuan Niaoniao analyzed, "Han Haotian can't possibly possess such power, but Ruierlan may have it, but why he was devoured by Han Haotian is unknown!"

"Was that an illusion just now? I couldn't use any internal energy at all." Chen Shaoyi said with a frown.

"Me too." Yan Muyu looked at him and said, "Fortunately, we have this stone." He glanced at Yuan Niao Niao, then at the stone.

"What is the origin of this stone? Why can it save our lives here?" Gong Jiaxin asked curiously.

Yuan Niao Niao frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I'm not sure either. Perhaps it has some connection with this lost place."

"In any case, we shouldn't stay here for long. Let's go back to the camp in front of the village and make a long-term plan," Yan Muyu suggested.

Everyone nodded in agreement and set off on their journey home. Along the way, everyone was silent, thinking about what they had just experienced.

After returning to the camp, Yuan Niaoniao decided to study this magical stone in depth, hoping to find a way to fight against Han Haotian. At the same time, she was secretly worried that if Han Haotian really merged with Ruierlan, the enemy they would face would be more powerful than before. Because Han Haotian was full of hatred, hatred turned into power is even more powerful!

"I think we should attack the cave entrance and see what's going on inside!" Yan Muyu suggested.

"I agree. Enough time has been wasted. With the appearance of Han Haotian, there might be no one left in the village." Chen Shaoyi also nodded.

"I agree!" Gong Jiaxin said as she thought about whether to use a secret weapon to blow up the cave! "Leave it to me to try."

"I agree too." Yuan Niaoniao put down the stone in her hand and said after hearing that.

"Explode now?" Gong Jiaxin stood up and said excitedly.

"It's late. Take a rest. Go tomorrow." Yan Muyu pressed Gong Jiaxin down and said, "You are not tired, but Niao Niao is tired too. Give Niao Niao a night's rest so that she can have enough energy to decipher these ancient characters." He thought of Han Haotian's words and the hibiscus flower that Yuan Niao Niao had given him. He took it to the Sturgeon Dragon Clan. It turned out that she was the Hibiscus Goddess!

"When did you become so considerate?" Yuan Niao Niao smiled. It really took her a lot of energy to decipher the meaning of these words and chant the spells. It was time to have a good rest!

"Okay." Gong Jiaxin pouted and turned to go into her tent to rest.
