"I wonder if we can find the mechanism that controls the tunnel to attack automatically?"
Feng Yanrou frowned. To be honest, although she was confident that she could make it through, it was more of a uncertainty. Without confidence, it would mean that she would die for sure. No one would not value their life, and she was no exception.
Ye Chen's expression did not change. He touched his storage ring and took out another item. It was not a low rank item, but a real mid rank one. Pouring his Green Lotus Zhen yuan into it, Ye Chen shot it out at the same speed. Pooh!
Pooh! Pooh! Pooh!
The hardness of a mid rank item was way higher than a low rank item after all. The first light beam did not manage to shatter it, but it was followed by the second, third, fourth … A total of thirteen light beams landed on it. The mid rank item that even Ye Chen could not destroy finally exploded. The explosion of flame dyed the whole tunnel red, a bright red.
"This is impossible!"
Qingzhu's mouth was wide open.
Feng Yanrou also shook her head. She did not have any hope anymore, unless they could find the mechanism. But, if the mechanism of the Puppet Martial School was that easy to find, then it would not be the Puppet Martial School anymore.
Ye Chen said lightly, "The speed of my low rank item is four and a half times the speed of sound. The mid rank item will be hit by the light beam when it reaches four hundred and twenty meters, and the mid rank item will be hit as well. If I increase the speed to six times the speed of sound, then it should be hit at five hundred and sixty meters. Think about it, if I reach five hundred and sixty meters and am not hit, would I be able to make it?"
"Of course! At six times the speed of sound, there will be nothing to be afraid of in the first five hundred and sixty meters. If I am not hit at five hundred and sixty meters, then I can travel another five hundred and sixty meters at once. But, how can I not be hit? Also, if I am not hit at five hundred and sixty meters, can you guarantee that I will not be hit at five hundred and seventy meters? "Qingzhu was not that stupid either, so she asked a couple of crucial questions.
Ye Chen said confidently, "I can use something to block out the light beam attack. But, it needs to be big enough to cover one side of my body, since you do not know where it will attack you. Therefore, a mid rank defensive item would not be able to guarantee my safety."
"Cover one side of the body, and it will be able to block out one attack of the light beam. Puppet warrior!" Feng Yanrou was very smart, so she immediately said the best option.
Ye Chen nodded, "Indeed! Just like I thought, the puppet warrior's defense is powerful enough to block out one attack of the light beam."
This time, it was Feng Yanrou who asked, "But, just like you said, the puppet warrior can only cover one side of the body. Will the light beam come from the other side? Once it does, it will turn you into a hornet's nest."
Ye Chen laughed, "The low rank great item that I threw out earlier was aimed at the center of the left side, and the light beam came from the left side. The mid rank great item was aimed at the center of the right side, and the light beam came from the top. If I am not wrong, it was aimed at the center of the right side, and the light beam would come from the right side. The four sides of this tunnel are equal, which is a square. If you connect the two opposite corners together, there will be four triangles. Let's not talk about the bottom triangle for now. Let's talk about the top three triangles first. When we are inside one of the triangles, we will be attacked by the light beam from the wall that is connected to that triangle. Simply speaking, whichever wall we are close to, we will be attacked from that side. As for the bottom triangle, if we are close to the left side, we will be attacked from the left side, and vice versa."
"Impossible! You have only tried it twice, and you have already found the pattern?"
Qingzhu did not believe it. He took out some useless things from his storage ring and started to experiment. In the end, the result was exactly the same as what Ye Chen had said. Whichever wall we were close to, we would be attacked from that side, and we could completely predict the direction of the attack.
"Mr. Ye, have you experienced something like this before?"
Feng Yanrou asked confusedly.
Ye Chen shook his head, "This is a mechanism. Mechanisms are different from puppets, as there is a pattern. If it were puppets, then I would not be able to do anything about it."
Puppets were even more powerful than mechanisms. Without a doubt, the smaller the loopholes, the better it would be. But no matter what, there would always be loopholes. The key was whether you could see them or not. He did not know what the creator of this mechanism was thinking. If it were him, he would make sure that whichever wall we were close to would be attacked by the light beam from that side. Without this rule, once a person entered, they would be attacked by the light beam from all three walls, and the loopholes would be much smaller.
Perhaps, the creator of this mechanism was trying to save energy, or maybe he was trying to train his disciples' thinking ability. No one knew.
"Let's go in then!"
Qingzhu was eager to try.
"Not yet. There is one last experiment."
Ye Chen took out two low rank weapons, one big and one small. He shook his hand and shot them out. The two low rank weapons were in an absolutely parallel position, with the same height and speed. They were close to the left wall, with the big one covering the small one.
Pooh!
A beam of light shot out from the left side of the wall, shattering the large low-grade artifact. The small low-grade artifact was unscathed as it passed through the passage.
This time, Ye Chen had shot it out at six times the speed of sound.
"Now it is done."
Ye Chen let out a breath.
"You are so smart!" Qingzhu realized that she had started to admire Ye Chen. Just like what she had said before, if they could not attack from five hundred and sixty meters, then what would happen from five hundred and seventy meters? But in the end, Ye Chen said to use the puppet warrior to block the attack, which made her forget about the rest of the possibilities. Indeed, the puppet warrior could help them block the attack, but only if they continued to fly and did not get hit by the light beam. Otherwise, everything would be useless. As for controlling the puppet warrior to block the attack, it would be even more unrealistic, since the power of the light beam would make the puppet warrior crash into them.
Feng Yanrou also admired Ye Chen a lot. Normally, even if they could find a way, it would take them a long time. Plus, it would be hard to tell if they could stay calm all the time.
"Let me go first!"
Ye Chen stood outside the entrance.
Six times the speed of sound might be hard for other Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warriors, but Ye Chen had learned the sword steps, so it would not be a problem for him to increase his speed to six times the speed of sound in a short period of time. Plus, ever since he had condensed his sword intent into the shape of his sword spirit, it also had the ability to increase his speed. However, it was his ace card, and he would not reveal it easily.
Shoo!
Extending his body, Ye Chen shot into the tunnel within a second, leaning towards the wall on the left.
When he reached five hundred and fifty meters, he made a preemptive move, taking out an axe man puppet to block on the left. The second the puppet appeared, Ye Chen was already five hundred and sixty meters away.
Pooh!
A beam of light landed on the puppet, and Ye Chen dropped it. His speed did not decrease at all as he continued to fly forward at an extreme speed.
Finally, Ye Chen reached the other end of the tunnel. Under the attack of that beam of light, the axe man could not handle it and exploded.
Seeing that Ye Chen had succeeded, Feng Yanrou and Qingzhu had no reason to worry about anything else. As for six times the speed of sound, they were not afraid either, since the Wavy Snow Martial School had a lot of secret arts that could increase one's speed. Of course, it would only be for a short period of time, but it would be enough.
Actually, it would not matter if they were slower, but they would have to do it in two batches, which would mean losing two puppet warriors for each person. They would not be willing to do that, unless they could find something hard enough to replace the puppet warriors.
After losing two puppet warriors, the two successfully passed.
Feng Yanrou was about to talk to Ye Chen when she saw him staring at a certain place. She could not help but follow his gaze.
There was a sign in the corner with a line of words written on it.
"Congratulations on finding a way to pass through the death tunnel within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. You are now qualified to pick a top rank puppet. Our Puppet School needs disciples like you."
Feng Yanrou said with surprise, "It is actually used to test the disciples of the Puppet School!"
"I see! No wonder it was so easy."
Ye Chen still felt that this mechanism was too easy for Feng Yanrou and Qingzhu to think of. First, it was because the time was too short, and they had not calmed down enough to think about it. Second, they did not know that it was a test, so they did not treat it as one. Of course, there would be a lot of people who could not think of it within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Without thinking about it, Ye Chen said, "Since we have passed, let's go in and have a look! Top rank puppets are one rank higher than puppet warriors. I wonder what kind they will be. "
Taking back his sight, Ye Chen walked into the warehouse.
The warehouse was divided into a lot of rooms. Walking past one after another, the three did not look too good. They had worked so hard to get in, but there was not even a single puppet inside.
Soon, the three arrived at a room in the corner.
Opening the door, the room was not empty. Instead, there were five puppets neatly arranged inside. These five puppets were all very large. On the left were two bird-type puppets, and on the right were three beast-type puppets. Whether they were bird-type puppets or beast-type puppets, they all had wings, which meant that they could fly high in the sky. These were puppets that could be used for traveling.
"Five top rank puppets! Top rank puppets would have a speed close to Sea of Souls Realm warriors. Once they are filled with extreme rank spirit stones, it would be easy for them to surpass Sea of Souls Realm warriors."
Feng Yanrou was shocked.
Ye Chen laughed, "Five? How should we split them?" He would definitely not want to take one, so he threw the question back to her.
Feng Yanrou said, "Although I was the one who told you about the ruins of the Puppet Martial School near the Blue Mountain Island, you were the one who found it, and it was also you who found the way to get through the death tunnel. Therefore, you should take two of them, and the other three should belong to me and my sister disciple Qingzhu. What do you think?"
"Thank you so much!"
Among the five flying puppets, Ye Chen chose a flying type puppet and a beast type puppet. The flying type puppet was in the shape of a roc, while the beast type was in the shape of a leopard.
He had not used the flying puppet yet, so Ye Chen branded his own mental mark on it before filling in the top rank spirit stones. He slightly pushed his mental power, and the flying puppet's wings started to flap intensely, bringing up a powerful qi flow that looked like sharp blades.
Of course, the main purpose of the wings was not to speed up, but to control the direction. The acceleration came from the three nozzles on the back of the puppet, each of which was as thick as a bowl.
With two flying puppets in his hands, Ye Chen thought that it was a worthwhile trip.
