Yun Yan carefully observed the four stone pillars distributed around the pond one by one. He found that the roots of the four stone pillars and the stone slabs on the edge of the pond were all connected by an engraved chain.
Moreover, the incantation inscriptions engraved on these four stone pillars were all different, and there was no reference to each other. This made Yunyan helpless for a while.
Seeing this, Cheng Ge moved to one of the stone pillars, and then she reached out to touch the spell inscription on the stone pillar. Perhaps driven by instinct, Cheng Ge involuntarily injected her soul power into the carvings on the stone pillar. .
At this moment, Yun Yan discovered that the inscriptions on the stone pillar that Cheng Ge had touched suddenly glowed with light green, and these luminous engravings began to rise along the pillar.
Eventually, all the inscriptions were gathered at the top of the stone pillar, forming a luminous sphere made of magical inscriptions above the pillar.
At the same time, Yun Yan discovered that after the inscription on the stone pillar disappeared, the engraved chain connecting its root to the edge of the pond also gradually disappeared.
This setup, which was similar to a formation seal, allowed Yun Yan to finally find some clues. He pointed at the other three stone slabs that were still imprisoned on the edge of the pond and said.
"It turns out that each of these four stone pillars seals a stone slab. If we remove all the seals on all the stone slabs, the traps in this pond will automatically disappear."
After hearing Yun Yan's analysis, Cheng Ge was noncommittal, but it shouldn't have any impact if she gave it a try, so she nodded and answered.
"I hope your guess is correct."
After saying that, she walked towards another adjacent stone pillar, while Yun Yan poured her soul power into the stone pillar in front of him according to what Cheng Ge had done before.
However, the difference was that when Yun Yan's soul power came into contact with the inscriptions on the stone pillars, the color of these inscriptions all turned red.
Yun Yan didn't understand the reason for this completely different situation, but these red inscriptions were the same as the previous ones, gradually rising along the pillar, and finally gathered into a red sphere at the top of the stone pillar.
After Cheng Ge lit up the third stone pillar, she discovered that the stone pillar unsealed by Yun Yan was completely different from hers.
So Cheng Ge asked curiously.
"Why is yours red?"
Yun Yan looked at the stone pillar in front of her and replied with a blank expression.
"I don't know what happened, but the stone slab connected to this stone pillar has been unsealed, which shows that we did everything right."
Cheng Ge nodded slowly when he heard this.
"Then try the last one."
Yun Yan then came to the fourth stone pillar. He injected his soul power into the stone pillar as before. However, the moment the chain between the last stone pillar and the stone slab disappeared, the light balls at the top of the four stone pillars suddenly Exploded.
Yunyan instantly realized that their method of cracking was wrong, but they were surrounded by four stone pillars at the moment, and the exploding spell inscriptions were flying in all directions. As long as they encountered obstacles, they would be corroded immediately. Pierce.
When Yun Yan discovered these situations, he had nowhere to escape. At this critical moment, Cheng Ge's figure flashed, and the next moment she appeared at Yun Yan's location.
But just when Cheng Ge raised the soul defense barrier to protect Yun Yan behind her, she heard a shout from afar.
"Run!"
When Cheng Ge realized that it was Yun Yan's voice, she had no time to dodge. She saw a series of green or purple rapid rays of light that completely covered her soul barrier.
Cheng Ge originally thought that with her cultivation at the peak of the martial arts realm, she would have no problem resisting these incantation inscriptions.
But when she realized that those purple-red inscription fragments could easily penetrate her soul defense, Cheng Ge's expression changed drastically.
However, it was too late. Cheng Ge watched helplessly as the purple-red inscription fragments passed through her body, carrying bursts of unbearable burning and pain.
Fortunately, the number of spell inscriptions after the explosion was limited, so Cheng Ge tried his best to block it.
After the first wave, she was lucky to survive.
When Cheng Ge withdrew her soul defense, Yun Yan immediately appeared behind her. Cheng Ge felt as if countless soldering irons had been pressed all over her body, causing extreme pain.
But despite this, Cheng Ge still insisted on standing motionless because she didn't want Yun Yan to see her in such a mess.
At the same time, she couldn't give Yun Yan any chance to take advantage of her.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you try it rashly before I figured out the mechanism here.
Moreover, our soul power attributes are completely incompatible. If this were not the case, you would not be hurt by my eternal fire.
The most regrettable thing is that your cultivation is much stronger than mine. I have been wary of you from the beginning, which also makes there no basis for mutual trust between us.
I didn't expect you to save me at all, so I didn't let you avoid it at the first time. It's all my fault. "
Yun Yan's helpless and regretful voice made Cheng Ge temporarily lower her guard, because she really couldn't hold on anymore, and Cheng Ge's delicate body finally fell backwards after shaking uncoordinatedly twice.
I don't know how long it took, Cheng Fan felt a heat spreading around her body in a daze, as if someone was healing her injuries, but except for her and Yun Yan, there was no one else here.
Therefore, Yun Yan did not take advantage of others' danger, and Cheng Ge finally removed the last line of defense in his heart.
Discovering that Cheng Ge no longer resisted the flame of his soul power, Yun Yan gradually felt relieved. As long as he could completely cover the surface of Cheng Ge's body with the eternal fire, her burns would be repaired quickly.
But while Yun Yan was helping Cheng Ge heal his injuries, his eternal fire inevitably burned all the clothes on Cheng Ge's body.
In order to avoid unnecessary entanglements in the future, Yun Yan had no choice but to turn around and retreat three feet away, because this was the farthest distance from which he could control the flames for healing.
Time passed bit by bit, and Cheng Ge's injuries also recovered unknowingly. When she could clearly perceive everything around her, Cheng Ge's first reaction was to immediately determine Yun Yan's location.
When she discovered that Yun Yan was facing away from her, sitting three feet away, she was able to slightly control her unspeakable emotions.
At the same time, Cheng Ge found that her storage magic weapon was on the ground not far from her, so she waved her hand and held it in her palm. She took out a set of light green silk gauze and quickly put it on.
Although Yun Yan could not see Cheng Ge's movements, for a martial arts expert like him, Cheng Ge's every move was completely within his perception.
Therefore, after Cheng Ge got dressed, Yun Yan slowly stood up and came to Cheng Ge, and asked her respectfully.
"How do you feel now, Demon Lord?"
Cheng Ge answered unnaturally after hearing this.
"Much better, but from now on you can call me Cheng Ge."
Yun Yan became a little nervous when she heard this, because as Cheng Ge, as the Demon Lord of the Witch Clan, her status was so noble that even Xie Yiming had to be polite to her, so she didn't dare to be rude.
But Cheng Ge now allows him to call his name directly. What does this mean?
Yun Yan didn't dare to think about it anymore, because he saw that Cheng Ge's current appearance was almost no different from that of a human girl who was just beginning to fall in love.
So, Yun Yan hurriedly replied.
"Junior, I dare not be rude, please forgive me, Lord Demon Lord."
Cheng Ge asked deliberately with a smile on his face.
"You have been rude, and according to you humans, what you did just now was an insult to me."
"this......"
Yun Yan was speechless by Cheng Ge's question. Although he felt aggrieved, the fact was that he had indeed offended Cheng Ge, and it was an unforgivable offense.
Finding that Yun Yan was hesitating and not answering, Cheng Ge continued.
"Although you have good intentions, sometimes the honor of your daughter's family is more important than her life, so according to your
Do you want to give me an explanation of our human customs? "
Hearing this, Yun Yan was dumbfounded and asked with a helpless look on his face.
"Does the Demon Lord want me to be responsible for you?"
"What do you think?"
"But I didn't see anything."
"Who knows, anyway, I will be yours sooner or later. If you feel that it is a loss, I will take off my clothes now, and you can watch it again."
Yun Yan realized that she couldn't defeat her at all, so she just wanted to cheat.
"I already have my heart set. If you are willing to be a little kid, I don't have any objection. But as a famous demon lord, you actually want to condescend to be my concubine. If this matter spreads out, I'm afraid you will be the whole sea. The demon clan will feel that their faces are dull, so I advise you to think about it again."
Realizing that Yun Yan suddenly changed from her humble attitude and became a bit rogue, Cheng Ge became even more energetic.
She smiled lightly and replied.
"You may not know yet, but once we, the women of the Siren Tribe, marry men of other races, we will automatically lose our identity as Siren Tribe members.
By that time, I will be just an ordinary foreign woman, and what I do will no longer have anything to do with the Sirens.
Moreover, with my current status, if I marry you, it will be considered a high achievement for you. I have no objection, but you are making excuses. Is it because I, Cheng Ge, am not worthy of you? "
Seeing that Cheng Ge was determined to make him take responsibility for himself, Yun Yan really had a headache, but he didn't dare to make Cheng Ge anxious, because if Cheng Ge wanted to kill him because of this, it would be bad.
So, Yun Yan put away her glib attitude and turned to speak seriously.
"Cheng Ge, please believe me, I didn't do this on purpose, and I didn't expect that my soul flame would cause so much harm to you.
Therefore, I can't just watch you die. Besides, you chose to save me at the moment when the inscribed light ball exploded, which made things become like this.
Therefore, I only saved you to make up for the debt I owe you in my heart. It has nothing to do with the non-existent love between a man and a woman between the two of us. Can you understand what I mean? "
Hearing Yun Yan's explanation, Cheng Ge had a mixture of joy and sorrow on his face, and he just heard her sigh.
"It turns out that human love between men and women is so complicated. I thought that as long as a woman can satisfy a man's needs, she will naturally become his woman.
It seems now that I still think of human emotions too simply. Although it is very tempting for me to be the first person after a thousand years, this kind of thing requires mutual consent after all. Otherwise, the forced feelings will What does it mean to me? "
"It's best if you think like this. In fact, it's not bad to be friends even if we can't be lovers."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ge turned to look at Yun Yan.
"If you had said this earlier, I wouldn't have had to go to great lengths to trick you into saying this."
"ah!"
