Turning around the corridor, the situation was different from when she first entered.
In the spacious space, there were obvious traps, a freezing pond, and flame nozzles in the shape of a beast's mouth. According to the terrain, she had to avoid triggering the traps.
After triggering the traps, the consequences would be dire.
Not to mention the Reaper Mantis, even an idiot would not fall for it.
Only an idiot who was blind would fall for such an obvious trick.
The most obvious flaw was that there would be shallow footprints every certain distance on the ground.
Those were the footprints of the cyclops.
These footprints had an obvious attempt to cover up. Most of them were made by tiptoeing on the ground. The cyclops was so tall, yet there were only a few footprints. If one did not observe carefully enough, they would not have noticed.
The Reaper Mantis followed the footprints and flew slowly.
She realized that there were faint traces of her flight behind her.
Even though she was floating without flapping her wings, the flight path was still clear. The Reaper Mantis fell into deep thought. Could it be that all living creatures would leave traces behind when they passed through? Leaving a trail seemed to be useless, and it would even expose the target. Why did this happen? The test in the Spiritual Beast Hall was definitely not useless. There must be some secret that needed to be unraveled … Carefully moving forward for tens of meters, it turned into a winding tunnel. The Reaper Mantis did not trigger any traps, and the cyclops did not see it either. However, there were actually two choices in front of it.
Two entrances to the long corridor.
Both entrances had traces left behind by the Cyclops, as well as traces of her flight.
What, what was going on? Even if she had returned to the starting point, she should have only walked through one corridor!
One of the entrances must be fake.
But which one was fake?
"?" The Reaper Mantis fell into deep thought again.
"Roar roar!" The roar of the cyclops could be heard from one of the corridors. Following that, a black object flew over.
The Reaper Mantis dodged instinctively.
There was a loud rumble. The black thing that smashed into the ground was a heavy boulder. Before the Reaper Mantis could see it clearly, another black object flew over at an even faster speed. The boulder seemed to be a weight-measuring mechanism. Once it exceeded the weight, the door outside would be automatically closed. This thought flashed across the Reaper Mantis's mind. She immediately reacted and condensed an energy ball in her hand.
It flew towards the second black object.
Hidden in the darkness, a sinister smile appeared on the ugly face of the cyclops.
This smart-alecky little guy was dead for sure. Even if she was more careful and cautious, without experiencing the mechanisms and traps of the Spirit Beast Hall, how could she know the cruelty of this place?
The faint light emitted by the energy ball illuminated the sinister face of the cyclops, as well as the true body of the second shadow. It was a wooden chest that the Cyclops had moved away at some point in time. Due to the fragility of the wooden box, let alone an Energy Sphere, even a sneeze from a Heaven Rank Magic Beast would shatter it. The energy ball flew over and hit the wooden chest. The cyclops saw that it was a fait accompli and was certain that nothing would change. Only then did he quickly retreat. His speed was a thousand times faster than when he had been walking on his feet.
Once the wooden box was destroyed by the energy ball, the shockwave would definitely trigger the mechanisms that were clearly exposed.
With the power of the mechanism, as well as the punishment of breaking the wooden box.
That little guy was definitely dead for sure!
As the Cyclops retreated, it even threw out a dozen wooden boxes that it had secretly stored away with an ingenious force.
If the wooden boxes exploded at the same time, even if there was only a 30% chance of being struck by lightning, he would definitely be hit.
The cyclops was secretly pleased. Why did the Toad King specifically choose him to kill? The reason was simple. It was because he was smarter! Who could have imagined that under such an ugly and foolish appearance, he was actually so meticulous in his schemes? In the familiar Spirit Beast Hall, he did not know how many newborn beasts he had successfully killed here.
The Spirit Beast Hall was simply his best hunting ground!
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion occurred in front of him.
The thermal shock wave from the explosion, as well as the rubble, even flew towards the door of the room that the cyclops was retreating from.
Success!
The cyclops was overjoyed. She dared to use such a powerful energy ball in the Spirit Beast Hall for a test? She was simply courting death! It suppressed the urge to go out and see how the little guy would die, and stayed in the room.
When the series of explosions gradually died down, the sounds of thunder and lightning disappeared, and there seemed to be the roars of a group of beasts. When all the sounds disappeared, the cyclops whistled and walked out of the room. It could conclude that the newborn beast was definitely dead. Because this was a very simple reasoning. When the wooden box was broken by the energy ball, the shockwave of the explosion not only shattered the wooden boxes that were flying towards it, but also triggered the obvious mechanisms and traps. The power of the mechanisms and traps was already enough to heavily injure the little guy. In addition, the boxes had a 30% chance of being struck by lightning. As for the cries of the beasts, it was even simpler. Those were wild beasts that had a 50% chance of being randomly teleported in after breaking the wooden boxes.
As long as the target died, those beasts that were randomly teleported in would be teleported away.
This was why they were quiet for a while.
Without even looking, the cyclops knew that the cautious little guy was already dead … died under its ingenious plan!
How many beasts had it killed in this corridor of the mirror house? One hundred or two hundred? The cyclops could no longer remember. Right now, it only wanted to get out as soon as possible, find the Toad King, and collect its share of the reward. That was a hundred high quality Heaven Rank Magic Crystals. With that reward, he would be able to break through and advance from Heaven Rank Level 4 to Heaven Rank Level 5. He would also be able to survive in the Beast Valley with more power and safety.
"Haha …"
The cyclops laughed proudly as it inspected the 'masterpiece' that it had painstakingly set up. It enjoyed the glory of victory and the pride of its superior intelligence.
When it was laughing the happiest, suddenly, its laughter was like a knife cutting through.
An unbelievable scene.
It appeared in front of its single eye.
Xiao Budian, who was already doomed to die, was still alive and well. Under her feet, there were more than ten wooden boxes, and all the triggered mechanisms were still there. Other than a huge rock that had been smashed into pieces, nothing else had changed.
How was this possible?
It clearly saw the energy ball explode on the wooden boxes!
As if seeing through the One-eyed Giant's confusion, the Reaper Mantis revealed a smile similar to his master Yue Yang's after his rebirth.
Her little hand condensed an energy ball that emitted a faint radiance. Through this weak light that wasn't glaring at all, the cyclops suddenly had a trace of understanding. Why did this little guy condense an energy ball? Her main purpose was not to attack, but to illuminate. Through the light, she could see that the second object she threw was a wooden box and not a huge rock.
Then why did she use the energy ball to smash the wooden box?
The Reaper Mantis gave the answer.
With a point of its small finger, a wooden box flew up and floated in the air.
The energy ball flew over with a whoosh. After hitting the wooden box, not only did it not explode, but it also refracted. The energy ball bounced off the wooden box like a bouncy ball, bouncing back and forth in the corridor. However, it was very ingenious and did not hit any of the traps.
In the end, the energy ball that had been flying for a long time returned to the hands of the Reaper Mantis, as if it had never been thrown.
The cyclops understood now.
This energy ball was under the opponent's control.
As long as this little guy was willing, she could do whatever she wanted. It would not explode or smash the wooden box.
If it couldn't smash the wooden box, then where did the shockwave, gravel and thunder that triggered the traps come from? It even heard the roar of a ferocious beast just now. That was not an illusion!
The Reaper Mantis smiled again.
She turned her body and kicked the energy ball that was floating in the air. The energy ball smashed a hole in the ground where the huge rock had been. Gravel flew in front of the cyclops. The energy ball exploded and a shockwave from the explosion spread out. However, just like the ripples on the surface of water, no matter what obstacles it encountered, it would not cause any impact. Instead, a second ripple would form and spread out again … This was the shockwave that the one-eyed giant saw and felt … When it was dumbfounded, it raised its head and looked again. It realized that every time the Reaper Mantis flicked her fingers, there would be a loud explosion of different sizes in the shockwave field controlled by her will.
These explosions were also controlled by her will. Although the sound was earth-shattering, it miraculously did not cause any impact.
The Reaper Mantis pointed her fingers continuously. Every time she pointed, there would be a bolt of lightning exploding in the energy field.
It was not the sound of a wooden box being smashed.
As for the roar of a hundred beasts, it was an exquisite 'golden whistle' in the mouth of the Reaper Mantis. When she took it out and blew, there would be all kinds of beasts roaring one after another!
"This is the golden whistle that commands the beasts. It is the treasure of the Poisonous Wasp King. Where did you get it?" The cyclops shouted in shock.
"Hehe!" The Reaper Mantis did not reply. Her smile made the cyclops feel like a fool.
The fight between the Beast Kings was the eternal theme of the Beast Valley.
It turned out that it had become a pawn of the Toad King. No wonder it promised a hundred Heaven Ranked Magic Crystals as a reward. It was a reward that it never intended to pay. The cyclops felt bitter in its heart. Between the Beast Kings, no matter who won, as a pawn, it would not have a good ending. It would not benefit it no matter if this smart little thing was killed or if she escaped.
The cyclops wanted to speak and withdraw from the battle.
Suddenly, it saw the murderous intent in the eyes of the Reaper Mantis!
This little thing was angry. Not good … The cyclops originally had absolute confidence, but after the Reaper Mantis's perfect deception, it realized that her true strength was far beyond its estimation. If it were to fight with her in this mirror house corridor, it was hard to say who would be the winner!
Retreat!
No matter if it won or not, there would not be a good ending. It was better to retreat.
The cyclops did not want to continue fighting. Relying on its familiarity with the terrain, it quickly bypassed the traps and fled to the other end of the mirror house corridor.
When it turned the corner of the corridor and was about to turn out of the main hall and leave the Spirit Beast Hall. It suddenly saw the strange scene that the Reaper Mantis saw when it came in. Why were there two entrances to the corridor in front of it? It was clearly leaving!
Could it be that the little guy had seen through his trap and had reset the layout of the corridor?
Crack, crack!
The cyclops stopped in its tracks and heard a cracking sound under its feet. It looked down and realized that there was a wooden box under its feet. The worst thing was, it was broken. The cyclops jumped up in shock. Pak pak! It realized that there were also pieces falling on its head. It looked up and saw that there was also a wooden box hanging above it. It smashed it with its head …
No!
Not only did it fail to set up the enemy, it was also set up by the enemy?
An energy ball hit it. It did not reflect like it did when it hit the wooden box. Instead, it created a strong impact, causing the shocked cyclops to take three steps back. When the cyclops steadied itself, it realized that it had stepped on a trap in the mouth of a beast.
Raging flames shot up to the sky and hit him right in the face.
The cyclops was blinded on the spot.
It was in excruciating pain. Its huge body that was on fire stumbled and struggled in the corridor …
One by one, it stepped on the traps that would not fall for. Flames, poisonous smoke, lightning and frost. The cyclops fell for all kinds of traps.
No one was spared.
At the exit of the long corridor, the Reaper Mantis smiled and gave a cool back view to the one-eyed giant who fell into his trap instead of his scheme. She picked up the golden whistle and blew it gently. The magical beasts that were teleported in lost their minds as soon as they heard the whistle. Their eyes turned red and they all pounced on the cyclops!
