As soon as Ming Qi's words came out, the expectations in Ming Yu and Li Yan's hearts were instantly shattered.
Of course, they are most willing to think that it is just an illusion. That is what the three of them have the most hope for and are currently most certain of doing.
"When the opponent attacks like this, the straws thrown out by the attack can actually return to the main body. This also makes it impossible for us to take any tricks.
In other words, regardless of whether those scarecrows are puppets or not, their attacks may be endless.
Only by constantly destroying those straws can they be unable to attack, but even if this is possible, how can we do it?"
Ming Qi frowned in thought and murmured to herself.
She had had the idea before that the attacks of these scarecrows should be similar to puppets.
The source of controlling their behavior is either the residual thoughts left by the master, which are stored in the puppet's body, or it is driven by spiritual stones.
With such an overwhelming attack, as long as it is consumed a few more times, the Scarecrow will not only consume spiritual stones very quickly, but also will soon have only a wooden stick left on his body.
But now it seems that the person who designed this trap has already considered this.
The straw can be retrieved by attacking, so what the opponent leaves behind is the driving spirit stone. It may not be possible to consume it. The most likely reason is that the scarecrow has a spirit gathering formation in his body.
The result of doing that may make you despair.
"After the scarecrow appears, Three Breaths will attack!"
Li Yan looked behind him, as if he wanted to see the scarecrow that suddenly appeared through a row of houses. Without waiting for the two girls to react, he continued.
"Can we not regard his words as a question to us? It is just a question. If we answer his question within three breaths, will there be no attack?"
Li Yan had been thinking about the conditions for triggering the ban, and he discovered that there was a gap of three breaths after the other party questioned him.
During those three breaths, there was no attack.
"Senior, what you are saying is that the reason why the other party did not attack immediately was because they were waiting for our answer to the question?"
When Mingyu heard this, a light flashed in her beautiful eyes. When Li Yan said this, it really made people feel that the other party was not questioning him.
So if this is the case, if a few people crack it, the hope will be much greater.
"But how do we answer it? Can we get over it with a casual answer, or do we have to get back to the other party's satisfaction?"
Ming Qi's thoughts were racing.
"It's very simple, try again! And I just tried it once, but I still can't really confirm whether there will be a half-true attack. You need to try it a few more times!"
Li Yan, who transformed into an old man in gray, had a deep look in his eyes.
Just a few breaths later, Mingyu flew to the backyard again. This time, Li Yan still didn't let Li Yan take action. Mingyu no longer walked, but flew directly over.
This time she deliberately flew over the courtyard wall, but just when she reached the courtyard wall, a voice suddenly came.
"Why are you here?"
There was another blur in front of her, and a scarecrow stood in front of her, poking directly on the courtyard wall.
"I just stumbled into this place accidentally!"
Mingyu answered seriously.
But just when she finished speaking, there was no delay at all this time, and that unpleasant feeling that made her heart palpitate and seemed like she was about to die, instantly came to her sea of consciousness.
Fortunately, Mingyu had already fully activated his magic power and was ready to retreat at any time.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Mingyu had already dodged to the corner in front. She sensed the crisis before she even saw the other scarecrows appearing.
"Rumble..."
Then there was a series of shocking roars, and the entire courtyard shook violently again. The three people standing by the wall of the house on the west side looked much calmer this time.
Not only did they not retreat to the house, they also allowed this devastating attack to spread to them wantonly...
As Mingyu's figure disappeared, the roar from behind quickly weakened, and then quickly disappeared.
"After answering, he launched the attack within one breath!"
Mingyu opened her red lips slightly and licked her dry red lips with the tip of her red tongue. This attack was too fast.
This action of hers was extremely tempting, but Li Yan's mind was not focused on it at this moment.
"And it doesn't have to be through the circular arch. It's not possible to climb the courtyard wall. How about trying the courtyard walls in the other three directions?"
Ming Qi spoke.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the three of them gathered again on the stone path on the west side of the house, and finally looked towards the backyard.
They tried the courtyard walls in the other three directions, but they couldn't stand on the courtyard wall at all, and were blocked by a powerful force.
However, after getting close to the courtyard wall, there would be no problems at all. It was just that the waves of terrifying sensations coming from behind the courtyard walls in three directions made the three of them dare not try to break through them.
"The design intention here is very obvious. You can only go out from the backyard. If you go out from the other three directions, you may not even have a way to survive!"
Li Yan shook his head.
"Then Mingyu's answer before was probably wrong, so the attack will appear immediately. This time I will go there!"
Ming Qi said...
"Why are you here?"
"It was teleported!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Boom..."
"Why are you here?"
"It's the owner here who invites you!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Boom..."
"Why are you here?"
“Look at the scenery here!”
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Boom..."
"Why are you here?"
"Of course I want to get out of the courtyard!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Boom..."
"Why are you here?"
"Come for the treasure hunt!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Boom..."
"Why are you here?"
"I am a disciple of the sect!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Boom..."
"Why are you here?"
"To kill you!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Boom..."
"Why are you here?"
"Then why are you here?"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Boom..."
"Why are you here?"
"I am from the Immortal Phoenix Clan!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Boom..."
"Why are you here?"
"where is this place?"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Boom..."
…………
As time flies, night has already fallen, and there are no stars or moon in the sky, making the courtyard even darker.
But layers of yellow light erupted from time to time in the backyard, and the courtyard was constantly shaking violently, making the courtyard look like a small boat in the wind and rain.
On the vast sea, being hit by violent storms again and again, there is only the last bit of light on the ship, which indicates that it is still working hard to survive!
Since the afternoon, the three of them have answered countless questions. Li Yan also went over again and again, and they answered every answer they could think of.
Either polite, indifferent, direct, vicious, rhetorical questions, or clichés...
But no matter which one, the result that follows is a violent storm of attacks...
The next day, still...
On the third day, still...
The three of them stood in the corner of the west wall, watching the rising sun rise again in the east. Even though the three of them were powerful immortal cultivators, their brains were in severe pain at this moment.
At this time, more than an hour had passed by them, and no more had passed.
Because since last night, the questions they had answered in the past were all wrong, and everyone became exhausted.
"Why are you here?"
"Have you eaten yet?" "Shoo, squeak, squeak..." "Boom, rumbling..."
"Why are you here?"
"Aren't you tired?" "Whoosh, whoosh..." "Rumble..."
"Why are you here?"
"It's getting dark!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Boom..."
After going back and forth like this, no matter how they answered, they only received wave after wave of attacks.
"The scene like this is what the person who set the trap wants to see the most... This is the so-called torture!"
There was no luster in Ming Qi's beautiful eyes. She only felt physically and mentally exhausted. She was hopeful and frustrated again and again.
Not only does it require constant thought and effort, but it also consumes spiritual consciousness and mana. For anyone, this will slowly make your heart sink...
Li Yan stood on the side of the stone path on the west side, still frowning. Ming Qi was right, it was only three days!
The owner of this trap is really insidious. He does not completely seal off your hope, but makes you have unlimited expectations every moment.
In this way, everyone will feel that the next moment, they can answer the question correctly and can go out.
As a result, when answering questions later, I felt like I was addicted. I kept raising expectations amid disappointment, and then entered a period of numbness.
Li Yan knew that the three of them seemed to be addicted to this. As long as they got through this period of numbness, they would answer questions endlessly.
Under such circumstances, who can still practice with peace of mind? After all, as long as the answer is normal, you may be able to leave this damn place in the next moment.
It is always better than being in a place with no resources. You still need to cultivate to a strong level before you can hope to break through.
Li Yan's sea of consciousness at this moment also felt waves of tingling pain. This was due to the continuous consumption of his mind. This kind of consumption was invisible and very addictive.
"I thought maybe this was a joke!"
Mingyu shook her head awkwardly, feeling dizzy. She felt that the original owner of this place was really too evil.
Even if she could guess that this place was related to the ancient immortal underworld phoenix, she had already lost respect for him in her heart.
"Force yourself to take a break. We may really need to find the exit from another place. Maybe the North Campus exit is just an illusion!"
After Li Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, not letting himself look at the round stingy door again, as if there was endless attraction there.
As long as I take one more look, I will fall again...
Soon, Li Yan chose a room, set up the formation, and began to force himself to expel the question in his mind, trying to stop thinking about how to get out now?
Otherwise, it is really addictive. As soon as his mind is empty, his consciousness will soon turn to that issue again.
Let yourself unconsciously think about how to answer that damn question again...
"Let's go and recover, and then look around for other exits!"
Sensing the words of the old man in gray that filled her mind, Ming Qi slowly came to her senses. The other person had a strong cultivation level, but she woke up early.
But even with Li Yan's reminder, Ming Qi still stood there for dozens of breaths before she remembered the meaning of Li Yan's words.
What the other party said makes sense. If this continues, their minds will not be able to hold on for too long, and they may collapse in a few days.
And just one day later, Li Yan had to come out, because even though his room was covered by the formation, the loud noise in the entire courtyard still woke him up from his practice.
Li Yan swept his consciousness and found helplessly that of the pair of sisters, one was carefully exploring other rooms, while the other still went to the backyard from time to time to answer the scarecrow's questions.
"Oh! It's another damn day!"
Although Li Yan complained, he could only sigh in his heart. The concentration of the two women was still much weaker, especially Mingyu.
It took him a long time yesterday to finally allow himself to enter cultivation.
They answered that question so many times that their minds were immersed in it for a long time, thinking about how to answer it all the time.
Even though he forcibly expelled the thoughts, it seemed that the echo of the scarecrow's voice still appeared in his mind...
After Li Yan left the room, he did not go to other rooms. He flew directly to the south courtyard wall as the entire courtyard continued to shake.
He decided not to go to the rear courtyard for the time being, but to look at other places, so that he might make new discoveries and at least give his sea of consciousness a rest.
Here on the south wall, there were originally bamboo branches growing up and down everywhere, covering the stone path. At this time, many of them have disappeared, exposing the stone path on the ground and part of the courtyard wall at the rear.
"They have already checked here..."
Li Yan thought in his heart that his proposal made the two women have similar expectations, but they didn't get any clues.
But he still had to check again in person, except here, in all the rooms in the back, in the backyard except for the courtyard walls and round arches, as well as the east and west side courtyard walls, and in the air.
Li Yan planned to check it carefully, maybe his idea was right.
"What exactly was overlooked?"
Li Yan looked at some of the thin cracks on the wall and the mottled traces of time on the wall, and Li Yan's consciousness slowly swept over it bit by bit.
At this time, the roar from behind the courtyard had disappeared again, and the entire courtyard was no longer turbulent and returned to peace.
Mingyu returned to the west courtyard wall again, and her consciousness also glanced towards Li Yan. She also sensed that Li Yan had walked out of the room, but she quickly lowered her head again and began to meditate hard.
Li Yan did not ask the other party, but continued to stay here, exploring the wall in front of him bit by bit, and at the same time used magic along the wall to completely destroy the row of green bamboos.
This allows him to observe carefully with his eyesight while slowly walking along the wall to one side...
Li Yan would occasionally stop and put his palms against the wall, slowly pouring in mana, or simply put his ears against the wall and listen carefully!
The feeling outside the south courtyard wall gave him, even on a sunny day, as if there was boundless darkness on the other side of the wall.
Those darkness seemed to be able to swallow everything, which reminded Li Yan of the endless black shadow rising behind each level in the wheel of life and death, which made people unable to resist...
Unlike the north side of the house, you can see the outside scenery through the round arch.
It's like as long as you can go out, you can really enter another world.
