Chapter 150 (2/2)
“What…”
“Hmm?”
“What are you planning to divine?”
Focusing on inscribing various complex symbols and strange characters on the surface of the sapphire, Xue Qilin didn't look up.
“I'm going to figure out the directions… If we find the right direction, it should not be difficult to get out of here.”
In Xue Qilin's view, the scope of this dense fog shouldn't be large, maybe less than 50 square meters.
After all, the larger the scope, the greater the burden Xihe will have to bear. She still has a battle to fight, so she must conserve as much power as she can.
It didn't take long for Xue Qilin to complete the inscribing work, and a sapphire with strange symbols and characters engraved on the surface emerged.
“Little Phecda, give me the rope.”
“Here…” Phecda handed the rope to Xue Qilin, “Boo… didn't you made something suspicious?”
“What are you calling suspicious? Your body is also engraved with similar symbols and characters! How come you don't say that you are strange?”
After receiving the hair rope, Xue Qilin tied one end to her index finger and tied the other end crosswise around the sapphire.
“Hey, it's finally done!”
Xue Qilin swung the gem, excited. Consequently, the gem, which was not tied firmly, flew out and fell into the thick fog.
“Gone…”
Phecda pointed out the current situation, sluggish.
“Qilin, what now? The gem disappeared.”
She pulled Xue Qilin by the sleeve and spoke anxiously.
Xue Qilin's face darkened, and she kept silent. She touched the ground with her hands for a while, but the gem didn't fall within her reach.
… as the saying goes, don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
“How frustrating!”
Xue Qilin shouted indignantly.
Then she angrily fished out another rough gem from her sleeve. This time it wasn't a sapphire, but a ruby red like fire.
“You also picked this up?”
“I found it when my clothes were hooked by a tree.
Xue Qilin ignored Phecda, who is about to faint because of her good luck, and started the work of making a pendulum with the ruby.
This time she didn't take it lightly. After finis.h.i.+ng the work on the gem and tying it up, she stood up and carefully raised the hand that is tied to the pendulum.
The suspended pendulum naturally didn't move, and even the rope that united Xue Qilin's index finger with the gem is perfectly straight.
“That's it?”
Xue Qilin responded grumpily, “Of course not. How could it be that simple? If you ask someone for directions, you have to tell them where you want to go, right? Come, hold my hand. We're about to go.”
Phecda followed suit. Xue Qilin chanted a cryptic incantation. Unlike the previous incantations she chanted, the syllables she uttered this time are not in Chinese.
When the last set of syllables dissipated in the air, the ruby flashed with a dazzling light, and then spiritual qi circulated inside the symbols and characters carved on its surface.
The ruby slowly rose into the air and flew in a certain direction, pulling the rope tied to Xue Qilin's index finger.
“It seems that this is the way! Little Phecda, let's go.”
Xue Qilin pulled Phecda by the hand.
“Okay. But is the direction really correct?”
“Hey, it can't be wrong! Now hurry up.”
Although she looks uneasy, but Phecda still started walking.
As if light guiding at night, the ruby's radiance guided the two inside the thick fog.
However, what awaited them at the end was…
