The person who designed this mechanism must be a primary school student!
Do you dare to make a combo at the back?
"Brother, do you have a clue?"
Zhu Yao nodded, feeling like crying. She did not want to play this kind of retarded game at all, alright?
He let out a long sigh, resigned to his fate, and pasted the tiles on the wall one by one.
Actually, it wasn't right to call it Gomoku, because it was a single-player game that was even less intelligent than Gomoku. The rules were very simple. There were nine squares and four types of pictures. As long as the four pictures were looked at horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, it would be fine.
As for the intelligence requirement … elementary school level!
Zhu Yao spent ten seconds to complete it. With a tired heart, she looked at the red light that once again lit up on the wall.
This time, it was not a teleportation array formation. The entire wall seemed to have broken down into many small cubes, which then parted to the sides, directly revealing the path behind.
"Let's hurry over!" Zhu Yao was the first to make her way over. After taking two steps, she realized that there was no movement behind her. When she turned around, she realized that a gigantic meatball was currently stuck on the wall, and it was currently trying its best to squeeze its entire body of fat towards her like squeezing toothpaste.
Zhu Yao: "…"
"Hoho, little brother, I'm stuck again." Zi Dan looked at her apologetically, and desperately tried to squeeze in.
What a tiring fatty. Zhu Yao stepped forward to help pull him out, only to realize that she was basically unable to move him at all.
"You don't need to use teleportation to enter?" Zhu Yao suggested.
Zi Dan nodded. With a single hand, she formed a hand seal. After a while, she shook her head. "This won't do. This wall can absorb spiritual energy. Right now, I'm stuck here. Before the hand seal can form, my spiritual energy will disperse first."
Damn it, this passage was actually racist. Fatty wasn't human!
"Little brother, you should go in first. I think the end of this passage should be right in front." Zi Dan said. "Go ahead by yourself, and see if the Sovereign is there. If he's not here, you can come back to help me. "
Zhu Yao hesitated for a moment, before accepting his suggestion. Though he was stuck here, and did not have the strength to resist, However, this passage could only absorb spiritual energy, so it was unable to unleash any spells that were too powerful. Zi Ruo was a Nascent Soul Paragon Cultivator. Normal attacks wouldn't be able to hurt him.
Zhu Yao continued to walk towards the end alone. Zi Dan was right, the end of this passageway was right in front. Her Divine Sense had already detected that there was no way forward.
In less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, she arrived at the end.
This was another empty room. It was so clean that there were no furnishings in it. Not even a speck of dust could be seen. Zhu Yao was a little disappointed. She had been tossing and turning for half a day, yet, there was nothing at all. In an instant, he felt as though he had been played.
He let out a long sigh. Just as he was about to turn around to save Fatty, the ground cracked open, and a hole several meters long appeared.
Zhu Yao's reaction was extremely fast, as she flew on her flying sword. Before she could heave a sigh of relief … Suddenly, there was a huge suction force, and she was still sucked down.
F * ck, you can't do that.
Zhu Yao descended the entire time. Not long after, with a splat, he fell flat on his back. My old waist!
"You don't need to waste your efforts. I will definitely not agree to it." A voice as cold as a lotus entered his ears.
"Feng Yi!" Mommy, I finally found this high mountain flower.
The woman who was meditating in the middle opened her eyes. A trace of astonishment flashed across her cold face. "You?"
"You're courting death." Zhu Yao rubbed her aching waist. "My name is Jiang You. The Sect Leader told me to call you home for dinner! Ah pui. He told me to save you. "She was used to saying it.
"You're the new Elder of Beast-Taming Mountain." Feng Yi asked.
Zhu Yao nodded, and hurriedly expressed her gratitude.
"You're just wasting your efforts by coming here." Feng Yi evidently did not know what to say. Forget about being grateful, she did not even look over. She really hated this pair of master and disciple. What should she do?
"Since I was able to find this place, how is it wasting my efforts?" Speak clearly, hey. If I knew you didn't want to be saved, I definitely wouldn't have come.
"I say, you … Sovereign, let's pack up and hurry and leave!" Fatty was still stuck there.
Feng Yi frowned, as though she was dissatisfied with her casual tone. "Do you think it's that easy to enter and exit this place?" She coldly glanced at him. "Putting aside the fact that this path is filled with mechanisms and formations, if one isn't skilled in this field, it would be hard to move even an inch."
Mechanisms and formations? Was she talking about those puzzles and Gomoku games? Don't look down on her intelligence, hey. After all, she graduated from university.
"Not to mention that the surrounding talismans can absorb spiritual energy, they basically can't attack. Furthermore … "Feng Yi's prideful gaze swept past her, and then, she looked at the position behind her." Even the ancient formation on the door is complicated, and it's impossible to penetrate. "
Zhu Yao turned to look at the so-called ancient formation, and the corner of her lips twitched.
Feng Yi once again closed her eyes, as though she was mocking her for overestimating herself. "Every time Chen Zi enters, that formation will change. I have used the Five Elemental Soldier Arts and the essentials of formations, yet, I'm still unable to penetrate it. Unless you know the ancient secret art, you basically can't leave. "
Zhu Yao sighed. "I really do know it!"
"What?" Feng Yi fiercely opened her eyes.
Zhu Yao stared at the door in front of her with a helpless expression, and suddenly had the urge to scratch the door.
Who doesn't know the Nine Square Grid? Formations with single digit addition and subtraction, I'll spray salty soda on your face!
"You really know how to solve this ancient art?" The tall mountain flower was finally willing to look her in the eye, though her expression was still filled with doubt.
Zhu Yao rarely bothered with her. Walking to the front of the Nine Square Grid, she began to research the answer.
The Nine Square Grid could be considered as a relatively simple number game. In the Nine Square Grid, one could fill in the numbers from 1 to 9. As long as the three numbers on the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines add up to 15, it would be considered complete. Usually, three or so numbers would be filled in the grid as a hint. As a game planner, she would often design these kinds of small games in her games, to act as checkpoints.
Hence, in front of her, a mere Nine Square Grid did not pose any pressure at all. She seemed to know what the answer was the moment she glanced at it.
Zhu Yao circulated her spiritual energy, and wrote the missing numbers on it.
Feng Yi walked over as well. Looking at her serious look, she really believed that she knew how to open this door.
When Zhu Yao finished writing the last number, the door did not have any reaction at all. Strange, why wasn't it moving? Could it be that she had to push it?
She had no choice but to push the door again, but it still did not budge.
Ugh, how embarrassing.
"That's not right, the answer isn't wrong." Zhu Yao did not understand either.
Feng Yi sighed, and shook her head. The expression she was looking at her with became even more indifferent. Evidently, she was regretting that she actually believed in him. Turning around, she planned to sit back down.
Zhu Yao carefully stared at the words on the door again, and finally realized what was wrong.
"These words, why are they written so strangely?" Zhu Yao touched the words, and muttered. The words she wrote were completely different from the three words that were originally left on the grid. Could it be that this Nine Square Grid was able to recognize handwriting? It was so high-end?
"Those are runes." Feng Yi coldly replied. "Runes that contain mystical energy are required to create runes when creating talismans." He did not even know about runes, and he even said that he could break this ancient Art?
Zhu Yao's eyes shone. In other words, he was not recognizing handwriting, but the words. Say so earlier! She changed the words …
That's not right. She seemed to have never learned how to create talismans.
"Uh … Venerable One, could you please change the numbers I wrote into runes?" Only when it was time to use them would one regret not having enough knowledge.
Feng Yi frowned, she really did not want to bother with this arrogant junior. If not for the fact that he was here to save her, and that this place only allowed entry and not exits, she would have long chased this unreasonable person out of here.
Feng Yi waved her hand, and a gust of wind swept past. The few Chinese characters that Zhu Yao wrote earlier slowly twisted and changed. Although they were still the original numbers, they had an additional feeling of elegance.
Seemingly after the final number changed, the entire door let out a kacha sound. The four sides of the door shone with a white light, and then, the door rumbled as it opened to the two sides.
Zhu Yao was speechless. As expected, it was a Nine Square Grid that could be done even with her eyes closed!
"…" Feng Yi looked at the youth who was a little dazed.
Zhu Yao was already used to this kind of shock. Actually, it was not because these mechanisms were difficult, nor was it because they did not know how to solve these mechanisms. Rather, they were used to relying on formations and talisman arts, and had thought of simple matters as too complicated.
"Let's go!" Zhu Yao waved to the back. "It's best if we leave as soon as possible. It won't be good if we're discovered."
Feng Yi slowly stood up, and looked at her with an indecipherable expression. However, she still followed after them. Maybe he was just lucky. There were simply too many ancient secret arts in this underground city, how could a single person be able to solve all of them?
However, in the next moment, this youth in front of her whom Feng Yi looked down on, had toppled her understanding. As one mechanism after another was opened, the originally difficult and complicated path of mechanisms, was now smooth and unobstructed. Her expression had also changed from the initial contempt, to an increasingly shocked one.
"You … How did you find out about the method to solve them?" Could he be the successor of that ancient sect that disappeared?
"You want to learn?" Zhu Yao turned to glance at her, and casually replied. "It's fine, I can teach you!"
"…" She was a mighty Demigod practitioner, why would she covet …
"Don't worry, this is actually rather simple." A childish game like the Nine Square Grid could be solved even with her eyes closed. "But we have to wait until we get out. We have to return and save Fatty first." Zhu Yao added.
"…" So Zhu Yao really wanted to teach her! Feng Yi's expression instantly changed, and she could no longer find the high mountain flower from earlier.
Along the way, Zhu Yao solved four to five Nine Square Grids. She was even beginning to suspect if there were other transmigrators who had come to this world before. Otherwise, why would there be so many familiar checkpoints?
Finally, they returned to the empty room from before. Probably because they had solved the mechanisms, the ground which was initially cracked open had once again returned to its original state, and it was impossible to tell that there was once a huge hole.
In order to avoid the tragedy from before, this time, Zhu Yao lay on the surrounding walls, and like a crab, she moved horizontally towards the opposite passage. Feng Yi who was following behind was unclear of the situation, and thought that this was another type of mechanism, she silently followed behind and began to move horizontally.
Zhu Yao who had accidentally tricked this goddess: "…" (To be continued)
