My carefree life in space

Chapter 255 Obtaining the Fragment of the Brahma Bowl Again

While Lin Shushu was communicating with the power of the rules, Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping were already somewhat overwhelmed. They had to defend themselves from the attacks being fired at them while also protecting Lin Shushu, and the situation almost spiraled out of control.

Fortunately, as Lin Shushu's spiritual energy fluctuated, the surrounding vines seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, and their attack rhythm began to become chaotic. The originally orderly entanglement became disordered, and some vines even collided with each other.

Lin Shushu opened her eyes, a determined light shining within them. Seizing the opportunity, she swiftly formed hand seals, and a powerful and pure force of rules surged from her body, flowing towards the core of the formation.

Under the impact of the power of the rules, the runes of the formation began to flicker erratically, as if making a final struggle. Lin Shushu gritted her teeth, continuously increasing the output of her spiritual power, and fully activating the power of the rules.

Finally, with a muffled thud, the runes at the core of the formation shattered. The surrounding vines instantly ceased their attack, drooping limply to the ground before slowly retreating underground. The poisonous creatures, as if losing their command, scattered and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

The fog gradually dissipated, and sunlight shone on the three of them again. Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping looked at Lin Shushu with admiration and surprise in their eyes.

Lin Shushu was slightly out of breath, a relieved smile on her face. Through this crisis, she not only successfully broke the formation, but also gained a deeper understanding of the power of rules.

After breaking the formation, Lin Shushu, Mo Ze, and Xiao Jingping continued to follow the guidance of the Star Mirror deeper into the forest. Along the way, the surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the occasional call of an unknown bird, which sounded particularly abrupt in the silent forest.

The Star Mirror emitted a soft, steady light, guiding their way. As they ventured deeper, the surrounding trees grew taller and thicker, their trunks bearing the marks of time, with vines hanging from their branches, swaying gently in the breeze.

Suddenly, Xiao Jingping stopped abruptly, saying in a low voice, "Be careful, I sense a powerful aura surging ahead." Mo Ze and Lin Shushu immediately became alert, circulating their spiritual energy around themselves.

They proceeded cautiously, and after rounding a vast stone forest, a wide-open meadow appeared before them. In the center of the meadow, an ancient stone platform stood silently, emitting a faint golden light, within which runes flickered.

The light from the Star Mirror suddenly intensified, trembling violently as it pointed towards the stone platform. Lin Shushu and the other two exchanged glances, realizing that the fragments of the Brahma Bowl were very likely on the stone platform.

As they approached the stone platform, an ancient and powerful force washed over them, making it difficult for them to breathe. The platform was covered with intricate patterns, similar to the runes they had seen in the forest, but even more profound and difficult to understand.

In the very center of the stone platform, in a recessed area, lay a fragment radiating a soft light. The shape of the fragment matched the Brahma bowl fragment they had found earlier, making it the other part of the Brahma bowl they had been searching for.

As they approached the stone platform, they discovered a transparent light curtain enveloping the area where the fragments of the Brahma Bowl were placed. A powerful suppressive force emanated from the light curtain, preventing them from getting close easily.

Lin Shushu frowned, carefully observing the light screen, trying to find its flaws. She discovered that the flashing frequency of the light screen had a certain regularity, seemingly maintaining some kind of balance.

Mo Ze tried to touch the light barrier with his longsword, but upon contact, he was repelled by a powerful recoil, his arm going numb. "The power of this light barrier is not simple; forcing my way through is probably not an option," Mo Ze said, shaking his arm.

Xiao Jingping paced around, trying to observe the light screen from different angles. "This light screen seems to be closely connected to the stone platform. Perhaps we can find a way to break it from the stone platform."

Lin Shushu nodded in agreement, and the three of them began to carefully examine the stone platform. They discovered that the stone platform was covered with intricate patterns, which echoed the flickering of the light screen.

Lin Shushu focused her mind, combining the power of the Star Mirror with her understanding of runes, trying to find the key. After some research, she discovered several specific rune nodes on the stone platform. If she could activate these nodes in a specific order, she might be able to break the balance of the light barrier.

"Mo Ze, Senior Brother Xiao, let's inject our spiritual power into these rune nodes in this order." Lin Shushu said as she used her spiritual power to outline the order of the runes on the stone platform.

Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping immediately acted according to Lin Shushu's instructions. As spiritual energy was injected, the rune nodes began to flash, and the light gradually converged on the light screen.

The stable flickering pattern of the light screen was broken. Just as the balance was about to collapse, suddenly, the light screen shone brightly, and a powerful backlash swept towards the three of them.

Lin Shushu's expression changed, and she shouted, "Not good! Defend quickly!"

As she finished speaking, the three of them swiftly gathered their spiritual energy, forming a shield in front of them. A powerful backlash struck the shield, producing a deafening roar. The shield trembled violently under the impact, seemingly on the verge of shattering.

"Hold on!" Mo Ze gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead as he did his best to maintain the shield. Xiao Jingping also looked grave, his spiritual energy circulating at its maximum. Lin Shushu, meanwhile, struggled to maintain the shield while simultaneously considering a countermeasure.

Just as the shield was about to shatter, Lin Shushu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She fused the power of the Star Mirror with her own spiritual power and then injected it into the stone platform at a special frequency.

This action seemed to readjust the power of the runes, and the backlash gradually weakened. Finally, the light on the screen faded, and the screen disappeared as well.

The three withdrew their spiritual power and smiled with satisfaction.

However, just as they were about to pick up the fragment, a huge guardian beast leaped out from beneath the stone platform. This guardian beast resembled a Qilin, its body wreathed in flames, its eyes like lightning, and it stared at them majestically, letting out a deafening roar, as if warning them not to approach.

The three immediately became alert, ready to fight at any moment.

The guardian beast launched the first attack. With a kick of its four hooves, it charged towards the three like a burning meteor, spewing out raging flames that instantly ignited the surrounding air.

Xiao Jingping dodged the flames with lightning speed, his sword flashing as he thrust towards the guardian beast's flank. Sensing the attack, the beast sidestepped and swept its thick tail across. Xiao Jingping leaped backward, narrowly avoiding the blow.

Mo Ze seized the opportunity and charged forward from the other side, his longsword carrying a sharp sword aura, aiming straight for the guardian beast's back. The guardian beast roared, and the flames on its body suddenly intensified, forming a wall of fire that forced Mo Ze back.

Lin Shushu did not participate in the battle; she stared intently at the fragment of the Brahma Bowl on the stone platform, an idea forming in her mind. Without hesitation, she took out the fragment she had previously acquired.

Just then, the fragment on the stone platform seemed to sense some kind of summons and immediately began to stir. It trembled slightly and emitted a soft light, as if responding to the fragment in Lin Shushu's hand.

"Success!" Lin Shushu was overjoyed. The fragments on the stone platform flew up automatically, slowly approaching Lin Shushu. Lin Shushu stretched out her hands and steadily caught the flying fragments.

In an instant, the two fragments merged into one, emitting a powerful and pure energy. This energy flowed through Lin Shushu's arm and spread throughout her body, making her feel warm and comfortable.
