Kapitel 31: Imprisoned Within an Array

Redakteur: Misty Cloud Translations

Sima You Yue took a good look around to see where she was. All she could see was an impenetrable wall of bamboo seemingly reaching the skies. Each shoot of bamboo appeared to radiate a faint green glow and the ground was covered by a thick layer of dead leaves. How did she end up in this bamboo forest?

She came before a bamboo stem and stretched out her hand to touch it. A brisk chill lingered upon her fingertips, as if the thing that she had touched was a giant ice cube.

"So cold!" She felt as if her fingers had been frozen, to the point where she could no longer feel them, and immediately retracted her hand.

She wandered about in a circle and realized that this forest was ridiculously huge. She had already walked about for a good half hour, but she was still lost within the bamboo forest.

"What the heck is this place? Don't tell me it's a fantasy world, or else, why would these bamboos and rocks feel so realistic?" She sat her butt down on a piece of rock, and started to pound on her weary legs. "This body is also too weak, I've only walked about for a little while but it's already so tired. It's just too different from my previous life. If I ever have to battle anyone in the future, this would definitely be too disadvantageous! It looks like I'll have to exercise more in the future."

After resting for a little while, she continued to meander around the forest. She hadn't even caught a glimpse of a single living thing, much less a Spirit Beast Egg.

"Damn, what kind of godforsaken place is this?! Didn't they say that you just had to find a Spirit Beast Egg and leave? But this place doesn't even have a single egg, how am I supposed to look for it!" Sima You Yue kicked a bamboo leaf that was sticking out that she was facing. Who would have thought that there was something under the leaf and it tumbled and rolled to her feet.

"A human skull?!" Looking closely at the white skull that had flew out in front, Sima You Yue immediately burst forth with killing intent. She had only realized at this point that the place in which she was standing had a few footprints.

She lowered her head to take a look. Because she had just exerted a bit of force, she had kicked away quite a number leaves that were under her. Aside from the skull, which was recently kicked aside, there were still numerous bones scattered around her.

She retreated backwards by a couple of steps and stepped down from atop the skeleton. The leaves had all been scattered, clearly revealing the entirety of skeleton.

"The skeleton has no signs of scarring. It looks as if this person had not encountered any external danger prior to his death." Scrutinizing it once more, she thought about how she had already circled more than halfway around the entire forest. She asked in confusion, "Could it be that this person died of starvation or dehydration?"

"Master, this is an array." Little Spirit's voice answered in reply.

"An array? I think that someone had mentioned that this place contained an Illusion Array and it makes everything look the same, in order to let everyone see everything in front of them as the Spirit Beast Eggs." Sima You Yue said.

"The one you're talking about is an illusion array. This array is not an Illusion Array. It's actually... a Mystical Array." Little Spirit said.

"A Mystical Array? What kind of array is that?" Asked Sima You Yue.

"It's a array that causes people to lose their way." Explained Little Spirit. "The reason that you got lost is also because of this Mystical Array. This caused you to become increasingly anxious. You couldn't even hear me although I had called out to you a few times just now."

"You called out to me just now? Since I could not hear anything just moments ago, how come I can hear it now? Could it be that the array was broken?" Sima You Yue thought about how she had indeed felt increasingly muddled just now that was nothing like her usual calm and she suddenly felt a wave of the after-shock.

"You just happened to kick a skull, that managed to jolt your consciousness that stimulated your brain for a moment, which allowed me to take advantage of the opportunity to butt in." Little Spirit said.

"This array is really scary, why would the Academy erect this kind of array?" Sima You Yue asked in bewilderment.

"This is not the right time for you to be thinking about this. If you wish to live, you need to think of a way to dispel this array, or you will have to stay here forever with no means of getting out." Little Spirit roared.

"This must be the reason why that person had been trapped here until he died." Sima You Yue said, "Little Spirit, since you know about this array, are you able to dispel it?"

"I'm not an Array Master, how would I know how to dispel it?" Said Little Spirit.

"If you're not an Array Master, how would you know about the Mystical Array?" Asked Sima You Yue.

"Does everyone who knows how to eat, know how to cook?!" Little Spirit said in disdain, "Even if you've never eaten pork, you've seen a pig run."

"Uh..You don't know how to dispel the Array, and neither do I. What now?"

"Coleslaw [1]!"

"Yue Yue, umm, I know what to do?" Little Roar interrupted.

Sima You Yue reacted to Little Roar's shout and asked, "What?"

"In the past, you had a brother who was a super powerful Array Master. I once heard him mention that this type of array could be broken in two circumstances. One way was by following a specific method, the other was by going completely against it."

"Following it? Against it?"

"Yes, following it requires you to be aware of the array's motion pattern and undoing it step by step. This method doesn't dispel the array and the people inside the array will also get hurt." Little Roar said.

"This method is impossible, we don't even know the array. Tell us about the next method." Sima You Yue said.

"The method that goes against is a very simple one." Little Roar said, "Your brother once said that every Array has a core. As long as we can locate that core and take it away, we will be able to dispel the Array."

"This solution is simple!" Sima You Yue started to look around in all directions, in order to locate the core of this Array.

"I haven't finished talking!" Little Roar snapped. "Although this method of going against it is simple, once you destroy the core, the entire array will collapse. Every array collapses in a different way. Some shatter like ice, without causing any harm to the people in the array, but there are those that explode like a bomb, wounding or even killing the people inside. It really depends on how the the owner has set up the Array."

"What the hell, that's so dangerous!" Sima You Yue uttered in despair.

"That's right, so a majority of the people won't choose the second option." Little Roar explained.

Sima You Yue pondered over it for a moment and said, "There's nothing I can do even if it's really going to explode. I don't know how to execute the method of following it and only know how to go against. There's still a possibility of survival if I take the method that goes against it. If I don't understand it then there's only the option of death."

"It seems that way. We should go out together and search for that core." Little Roar flew towards Sima You Yue's head and lay down, using his big round eyes to search everywhere diligently.

"To begin with, the core is already not easy to locate. Furthermore, this array is so big, if we want to locate its core, it's worse than looking for a needle in a haystack. It's not even as easy as that!" Little Spirit lamented.

"We still have to look for it." Sima You Yue shrugged, "This is the only option we have right now. Anyway, we have some food and drinks, so we won't die even if we can't leave this place. What we have now is time and we can use it up slowly."

Little Spirit remained silent while Sima You Yue and Little Roar continued to look for the array core together.

When she was hungry, she went inside the Spirit Pearl to cook. When she was thirsty, she went into the Spirit Pearl to get some water to drink. When she was sleepy, she also went inside the Spirit Pearl to sleep. Actually, she had decided to sleep inside the forest, but Little Spirit said that one's consciousness would be weaker after they had fallen asleep. If she once again became muddled as a result of the array, it was uncertain whether or not she would be able to awake from it once again.

She did not know how long she had spent walking around in the forest since it was always dark inside, except for that bit of green luminescence. Although the sky did not darken, she had already eaten 7 meals and slept an entire sleep cycle so 2 or 3 days should have passed already.

"Yue Yue, it is impossible to discern where this array core is located!" They were completely unable to locate the array core and Little Roar's entire person looked as if he was in despair, as he climbed to the top of Sima You Yue's shoulder.

"We will find it eventually." Sima You Yue was also a bit discouraged. Aside from bamboo, this forest only had bamboo. Furthermore, during their search, they had even uncovered 2 more skeletons.

"Continuing this blind search is also not a good method." She halted her steps and said, "Since it is a core, it definitely has to have some kind of law it has to follow or some unique characteristic. Let us first examine at this carefully before continuing."

After saying this, she sat down atop a piece of large rock, scrutinizing the Bamboo and fallen leaves on the ground.

Kapitel 32: Dispelling the Array

Redakteur: Misty Cloud Translations

Little Roar had originally intended to say something, however, looking at Sima You Yue's intense dedication, the words that were on the tip of his tongue were forced back down. He decided to involve himself in looking around the surroundings to see if there was anything that resembled the array core.

"This place is really too weird. There isn't even any sun, where is this light even coming from?" Little Roar inquired, as he stood alone on top of a stick of bamboo, and looked at how the light that was coming off the bamboo turned his pure white fur, green.

Light?

Sima You Yue heard what Little Roar had said; a miraculous radiation of light. These bamboos were freely giving off light, this meant that these bamboo were one and the same. If they could find a bamboo that did not give off any light, it was possible that that bamboo was actually the array core!

"Ha, Little Roar, let's look for a bamboo that doesn't give off light!" She said, facing Little Roar who was behind her, as stood up and patted off the leaves that had fallen on her body.

"A bamboo that doesn't give off light? Why would we look for that?" Little Roar asked as he flew over.

"It's possible that it is the array core." Sima You Yue explained, "Anyway, let's just look for it together."

"Okay."

As such, the both of them wandered around the forest once again. This time, looking for a bamboo that did not give off any light; their goal was obvious in but a moment."

"Master, I can feel it." A very silent Little Spirit suddenly voiced out.

"Little Spirit, what do you feel?" Sima You Yue said, as she halted her steps.

"This place contains the aura of a Spirit Stone." Little Spirit replied.

" Spirit stone, is it a stone that's similar to you?" Asked Sima You Yue.

"How could you possibly compare that kind of thing to me. I'm a Sacred Spirit Stone you know, there's only one of me in the entire universe. I can be tempered into a Spirit Pearl and can contain the heaven and earth, while those kind of dregs can only be used to raise some varieties of spirits, at most. It's impossible for them to support life." Little Spirit said proudly.

"Then what are you so worked up for?"

"Are you stupid! While this may be a Mystical Array, although it has been set up with the methods of an array, in fact this array core is useful for things related to spirits. It is only in this way that they formation would reach it's peak potential." Little Spirit said.

"So you're saying that it's possible that the Spirit Stone could be the location of the formation core." Sima You Yue said a little agitatedly.

"Hmph, it's a good thing you're not that stupid." Little Spirit replied.

"Since you can feel its aura, are you able to pinpoint its specific location?" Sima You Yue asked.

"If I was on the outside of the array, I would be able to directly search for it. However, this is the inside of the array. I can only feel that it's close by, within a range of 50 metres. You can look for it yourself." After Little Spirit finished saying this, he refused to utter another word.

Sima You Yue looked around. This segment of bamboo was not very dense. Compared to other areas, this place was relatively sparse.

She scrutinized every single stalk of bamboo and saw that every single one was glowing. There wasn't even a single stalk that fit with the description that she had.

"Could it be that my speculation was wrong?" Sima You Yue touched her chin, doubting her own idea.

"Yue Yue, maybe the array core doesn't lie within the bamboo." Little Roar offered.

"Not the bamboo?"

"Yup, if the formation core really is the Spirit Stone, it will probably continue to resemble a stone, right." Little Roar postulated.

"Ha, that's possible. Let us look over the stones one again." Sima You Yue hugged Little Roar; man and beast deciding to look over each little stone one by one. However, this place didn't even contain a single pebble.

Looking at the only large rock in this entire place, Sima You Yue finally set her sights upon it.

"Could this be it?" She walked towards the stone and walked 2 circles around it. She felt that this stone appeared a little different from the one just now. She stretched out her hand to touch it and it had a similar chill to the bamboo.

"Yue Yue, is this it?" Little Roar flew over to ask.

"Nope." Sima You Yue said. "If this was the array core, it would be a real item and would not have the same kind of ice-cold chill that the bamboo has."

"So, the core is also not here?" Little Roar said with a little disappointment.

"No, it is here." Sima You Yue said confidently, "Are you able to kick this rock away?"

"Piece of cake." Little Roar flew over to the top of the rock and tapped on it lightly with his little leg. The humongous rock was sent flying.

Sima You Yue looked at the bottom of the rock that was sent flying. It had a very black stone, which was around the size of a child's fist.

"Is this it?" Sima You Yue squat down and looked at that black stone. "Do we just have to take this away? We don't know whether or not there's be an explosion, but I don't care. Even if a horse is dying, you still have to send it to the doctor."

After saying this, she threw the little white ball into the Spirit Pearl and let out a breath. She stretched out her hand and grabbed on to the piece of Spirit Stone.

"Whoosh, whoosh-"

The quiet bamboo forest was interrupted by a sudden gust of wind that came from all sides as the ground looked like it was going to rip itself apart and shook incessantly.

"Bang-"

Sima You Yue was unable to open her eyes because of the strong wind. She used the stone that she was grasping in her hands to block in front of her, however, she was unable to block the force of the wind."

"Rumble-"

The ground suddenly split apart and the crack rapidly enlarged. The leaves and bamboo all tumbled in indiscriminately.

"I'll go-" as she was falling into the crack, Sima You Yue held onto the stone in her hands, and attempted to suppress the panic in her heart.

Her blood flowed into the stone and Sima You Yue and Sima You Yue felt a burst of pain spread out from her palms, towards the rest of her body and all her bones, causing her to pass out. Just before she fainted, she only had one thought. If the ground were to join back together, would she be flattened into minced meat?

Her consciousness faded away, and she did not know how long she had spent in that darkness. As her consciousness slowly started to recover, she opened her eyes and realised that she was currently within a canyon. There was a thick meadow underneath her and her clothes were clean. The dirt that was on her body just now when the earth broke apart was generally gone.

She sat up and rubbed her head that was in a bit of pain. She was a little suspicious of whether or not her current situation was one of a dream.

"Hiss-"

A burst of pain came from the palm of her hand and she opened up her palm. She saw that there were some scars on the palm of her hands and the wounds had not yet completely closed up. As a result of her movements just now, they had reopened.

"Looks like this isn't a dream." She took out her knife and cut off a part of the hem of her skirt to wrap her hand, using her mouth and left hand to tie a knot.

After finishing this, she began to inspect the canyon.

Similar to the Bamboo forest just now, there were not any living creatures. There was not even a shadow of a Spirit Beast Egg, just as before. The difference was that the place just now consisted entirely of a bamboo forest, but this place had many different types of flowers, plants and trees.

"Could it be that I entered another array from that array?" Sima You Yue was puzzled.

"It shouldn't be. I don't feel any aura of an array." Little Spirit said.

"No array? Didn't you say that this place contained multiple Illusion Arrays?"

"Nope, this is the real world." Little Spirit asserted.

"Then how do we go back? This place isn't within an array and looking for a Spirit Beast Egg is not longer the method for sending us back out." Sima You Yue said with a little bit of headache. "Oh right, the Spirit Stone just now. Do you know where it has disappeared to?"

"It's with me." Little Spirit said. His mood was a little bad.

Sima You Yue felt that something was not right and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There's something strange about this item. I'll tell you about it when you get out of this place." Little Spirit said.

"I'll go look for a route out first, then." Sima You Yue replied.

She walked towards the canyon and suddenly heard the same call from before.
