I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

Chapter 116: The dilemma of the agency, the first light of hope

The one who stumbled out of the cave was none other than the Ba Dao Sect leader, who had been injured by Lei Yi's palm strike. He clutched his chest with one hand, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Lei Yi with eyes filled with resentment and anger.

"Lei Yi! How dare you plot against me!" The leader of the Badao Sect roared with gritted teeth, but he was already at the end of his strength at this moment, and his voice was weak and powerless.

Lei Yi looked at him coldly without saying a word, but slowly tightened his grip on the sword. Seeing this, the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect became even more terrified, knowing that he was doomed today.

At that moment, the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect caught a glimpse of the open door to the secret room, as well as Dongfang Liuli and the Fairy Lingdie standing there. An idea immediately struck him, and despite the pain in his body, he lunged towards the secret room.

"Map! That's my map!"

The leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect was frantic, trying to rush into the secret room to snatch the map. Seeing this, Lei Yi's eyes flashed coldly, and his figure floated out like a ghost, instantly blocking the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect.

"Yours? You don't deserve it!"

Lei Yi roared angrily and swung his sword fiercely. A sharp sword energy rushed directly to the face of the leader of the Ba Dao Sect. The leader of the Ba Dao Sect was unable to dodge and could only roll on the ground in a panic, barely avoiding this fatal blow.

"Damn it! Cough cough..." The leader of the Badao Sect spat out blood again, his eyes full of unwillingness and despair.

Lei Yi didn't give him a chance to breathe. His figure followed him like a shadow, and the long sword in his hand turned into a trail of afterimages, blocking all his escape routes. The leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect could only barely parry, but every collision made his arms numb and his knuckles felt like they were about to split.

"Lei Yi, don't be so arrogant! We from the Badao Sect will not let you go!" The leader of the Badao Sect threatened Lei Yi in a timid manner while resisting his attack.

Lei Yi sneered, and his offensive power increased instead of decreasing. "Then let them come! I, Lei Yi, will take over!"

While Lei Yi was engaged in a fierce battle with the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect, Dongfang Liuli and Fairy Lingdie had already entered the secret room. They carefully examined the map on the stone table, trying to find more clues.

"Sister Liuli, look here..." Fairy Lingdie pointed to a blank spot on the map and said, "This place seems to have been deliberately erased. Could it be..."

"You mean, the specific location of the Horcrux is hidden under this blank space?" Dongfang Liuli said, with a gleam in his eyes.

"It's very likely!" Fairy Lingdie nodded, "It seems we have to find a way to find the remaining map fragments."

At this moment, a fierce fighting sound was heard at the entrance of the secret room. Dongfang Liuli and Lingdie Fairy were startled and turned around to look.

"Oh no! It's someone from the Badao Sect!" exclaimed Fairy Lingdie.

At the entrance to the secret room, dozens of Ba Dao Sect disciples dressed in black, holding swords, rushed in aggressively. The leader was the Ba Dao Sect's Divine Machine Military Advisor!

"Lei Yi, your opponent is us!" The cold voice of the Divine Machine Military Advisor echoed in the secret room. He waved his hand, and the Wild Lion Warriors behind him roared and pounced on Lei Yi...

At the entrance to the secret room, Lei Yi, with his agile figure and lightning-fast sword, engaged in a battle with several Wild Lion Warriors. Although these Wild Lion Warriors were fearless, their martial arts were crude. Under Lei Yi's exquisite swordsmanship, they could only parry and had no power to fight back.

"Lei Yi, don't even think about getting close to the secret room!" Military Advisor Shen Ji stood aside, commanding the Crazy Lion Warriors to constantly change their formations to block Lei Yi's path. Knowing Lei Yi's formidable strength, he chose not to engage him head-on, but instead used a human wave tactic to try to drain Lei Yi's strength and energy.

While Lei Yi was dealing with the siege of the Wild Lion Warriors, he was also searching for an opportunity to break through. His eyes kept scanning the entrance to the secret room, his heart filled with anxiety. He knew that Dongfang Liuli and the Fairy Lingdie were still inside the secret room, and that the members of the Tyrant Blade Sect had already caught up with them. They could be in danger at any moment.

"Get out of here!" Lei Yi roared, and the long sword in his hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling light. The sharp sword energy swept out like a storm, instantly knocking away several mad lion warriors around him.

"Good opportunity!" Lei Yi seized the opportunity, flashed his body, and rushed towards the entrance of the secret room.

"Stop him!" Seeing this, Military Advisor Shen Ji's face changed drastically, and he quickly commanded the remaining Crazy Lion Warriors to pounce on him.

Inside the secret room, Dongfang Liuli and Fairy Lingdie were anxiously searching for the missing part of the map. They searched the entire stone table but found nothing.

"Sister Liuli, could it be that the map fragments are not here at all?" Fairy Lingdie said somewhat discouraged.

"No, there must be something we haven't noticed." Dongfang Liuli said in a deep voice. She carefully observed every detail on the stone table, hoping to find some clues from it.

Suddenly, she noticed something unusual in one corner of the stone table. The pattern there was slightly different from the rest of the table, suggesting a hidden mechanism.

"Lingdie, come and help me take a look!" Dongfang Liuli's heart moved, and he quickly called Lingdie Fairy over.

The two studied it carefully and found that it was indeed a mechanism, and a very complicated mechanism puzzle.

"It seems that if we want to find the map fragments, we must first solve this puzzle." Dongfang Liuli took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Time was running out, so they didn't dare to delay at all and immediately started studying the mechanism puzzle.

"Click!"

With a slight sound, the mechanism on the stone table suddenly turned, revealing a hidden compartment. Dongfang Liuli and Fairy Lingdie were delighted to see this and quickly looked inside the compartment. However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the entrance of the secret room...

"found it!"

"Liuli, are you okay?" Lei Yi rushed into the secret room and saw that Dongfang Liuli and Lingdie Fairy were safe and sound, and his heart finally settled down.

"We are fine. How are you doing?" Dongfang Liuli stepped forward and asked with concern.

"It's been solved. The most important thing now is to find the map fragments as soon as possible." Lei Yi said as he walked to the stone table, looking at the complicated mechanism in front of him with a frown.

"We have found some clues. This mechanism should be related to astrology." Fairy Lingdie said, pointing to the pattern on the stone table.

The three of them gathered around the stone table and studied it carefully. The mechanism was engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, along with some strange symbols, which seemed to be somehow connected. Lei Yi was not familiar with astrology, but he was meticulous and observant, and he soon discovered some clues.

"Look, the arrangement order of these stars seems to be somewhat similar to the murals we saw in the tomb passage before." Lei Yi said, pointing to a pattern on the mechanism.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Liuli and Fairy Lingdie immediately turned their gaze to the place where Lei Yi pointed. After careful comparison, they found that it was indeed as he said. The arrangement of the stars on the mechanism was surprisingly similar to the star map on the mural.

"Could it be that the key to cracking this mechanism lies in the star map on the mural?" Dongfang Liuli guessed.

"It's very likely. Let's think about it carefully and see if there are any details on the mural that we haven't noticed." Lei Yi pondered for a moment, constantly recalling the contents of the mural in his mind.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the secret room grew increasingly tense. Suddenly, Lei Yi had a flash of inspiration: he remembered a detail in the mural that seemed to correspond to the symbol on the mechanism.

"I know!" Lei Yi said excitedly, "There's a place on the mural depicting the Big Dipper, and there are also seven symbols on the mechanism. I guess there must be some kind of correspondence between the two!"

He matched the Big Dipper pattern on the mural with the symbols on the mechanism one by one, and after some attempts, he finally found the correct arrangement.

"Click!"

As the last mechanism turned, the secret compartment on the stone table slowly opened, revealing a piece of sheepskin map fragment lying quietly inside.

"Great, we finally found it!" Dongfang Liuli said happily.

However, before they could be happy for too long, there was a loud noise at the entrance of the secret room. The leader of the Badao Sect and the military advisor of Shenji rushed in with a group of his men, staring at them with murderous intent.

"Hand over the map and I will spare your lives!" The leader of the Badao Sect shouted sternly, with greed flashing in his eyes.

Lei Yi and the others were horrified, knowing a fierce battle was inevitable. Lei Yi protected Dongfang Liuli and Fairy Lingdie behind him, gazing coldly at the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect. He said word by word, "If you want the map, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!"

A war is about to break out...

The air in the chamber seemed frozen. Lei Yi clutched the fragment of the map, knowing full well that today's matter would not end peacefully. Behind the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect stood a dense mass of over a dozen ferocious thugs, many of them experts, not to mention the sinister and cunning military strategist, Shen Ji, who glared at them with a venomous, cold gaze.

"Lei Yi, if you know what's good for you, hand over the map fragments, and I'll consider leaving you with an intact body!" The Ba Dao Sect leader's voice was like a bell, shaking the secret room. The Wild Lion Warrior behind him couldn't wait to flex his muscles, making a teeth-grinding sound of bones grinding against each other, looking ferocious and eager to try.

"Are you worthy enough?" Lei Yi sneered and put the map fragment into his arms. He knew that if he wanted to escape unscathed today, he had to fight to the death.

"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink for it! Come on, take the map back!" The leader of the Badao Sect gave an order, and the thugs behind him pounced on Lei Yi and the other two like wolves.

"Liuli, fairy, you find a chance to break out, I will hold them back!" Lei Yi roared and drew the long sword from his waist. The sword flashed with cold light, reflecting his resolute face.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" The sinister voice of Military Advisor Shen Ji came from behind. He flipped his hands, and several black shadows shot towards Dongfang Liuli and Lingdie Fairy with a shrill sound.

"Be careful!" Lei Yi's heart tightened. He wanted to go back for help, but he was entangled by the Crazy Lion Warrior in front of him. This Crazy Lion Warrior was full of brute force, and his attacks were open and fierce, forcing Lei Yi to respond with all his strength.

Dongfang Liuli and Fairy Lingdie were indeed masters. Facing the hidden weapons of Military Strategist Shenji, they dodged nimbly while looking for other exits from the secret room.

"Something seems strange here!" Fairy Lingdie's eyes were as fast as lightning, and she found that the color of a stone brick on the wall was slightly different from other places.

"Let me try!" Dongfang Liuli drew out the soft sword from his waist, infused it with true energy, and stabbed it fiercely at the stone brick.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the stone bricks shattered, revealing a pitch-black hole...
