Tang Ci has just tested the mechanism of the Iron Tree Hell with mechanical ants and drones. Whether it is an ant crawling close to the ground or a drone flying in the air, everyone has seen with their own eyes that the Iron Tree will immediately release vine-like iron ropes.
At a speed that is indistinguishable to the naked eye, it wraps around the prey like lightning and hangs it upside down on the tree.
The hunter hanging on the top of the tree must have been too careless and directly entered the sensing range of the iron tree and was killed instantly.
Xiao Lou proposed using an invisibility cloak because the invisibility cloak can hide the body and sound. They have used this card many times in other secret rooms before. After wearing it, the appearance will become transparent air and the sound of footsteps will disappear...
The only thing that doesn't disappear is the touch.
Even if they put on the invisibility cloak, they can bump into each other, which proves that the cloak is only visual, the hearing disappears, and the entity still exists. Stepping on the floor while wearing the cloak will also trigger the press mechanism on the floor.
Therefore, it is necessary to use both stealth and Qinggong at the same time.
Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang and said: "Put on the invisibility cloak, and then use the Qinggong card that is as light as a swallow to fly over. It will be like a ball of air floating in front of the iron tree. It should not trigger the sensor mechanism."
Tang Ci felt that his statement was reasonable, so he summoned a drone again and said, "Use my drone to do an experiment and let it wear an invisibility cloak to see if it can pass smoothly."
The invisibility cloak is the reward card of the 3 of Hearts. Almost everyone has one card, and it lasts for 30 minutes. If necessary, two people can share one card. At this time, both Tang Ci and Liu Qiao stayed in the pockets of their teammates, and the teammates put on the cloak.
With the invisibility cloak, they both became invisible.
Tang Ci's invisibility cloak was no longer needed, so he took it out and put it on the drone for experiments. He controlled the drone and flew around the iron tree. Tang Ci could sense the position of the drone, but everyone
But nothing could be seen in his eyes.
After a moment, the drone that circled twice returned to his hand. Tang Ci took off his invisibility cloak and nodded to Xiao Lou: "Professor Xiao's method is right, vision, sound waves, trampling, all-round sensing mechanism,
Only by wearing an invisibility cloak and flying over can you avoid triggering the attack of this big iron tree."
How to fly there?
Yu Hanjiang has a body as light as a swallow and can carry Xiao Lou while walking.
Liu Qiao's body is as light as a swallow, so she can be used by Lao Mo. Anyway, she is in Lao Mo's pocket. If Lao Mo is safe, she will be safe.
Yu Hanjiang looked at his brother: "Brother, do you have any flying cards?"
Lu Jiuchuan nodded and directly summoned Suzaku.
I saw a bird with its body burning with flames suddenly spread its wings in the air, covering its body with gorgeous red feathers, which opened the eyes of the teammates.
Xiao Lou looked at it sideways: "Is this a mythical beast? It's very powerful, right?"
Lu Jiuchuan said: "Suzaku Heavenly Fire can create a large-scale flame and burn down an entire forest."
Xiao Lou couldn't help but think that Brother Jiu had such a strong fire attack card. If he entered the Zerg secret room and set fire to the insects, it would be too easy to pass the level... However, the A-level secret rooms are all customized according to the team. Lu Jiuchuan and the others encountered
It's definitely not a Zerg infection.
The body of the Suzaku is more than five meters long and three meters wide.
Fortunately, Iron Tree Hell happens to be a relatively wide space that it can fly through. If it encounters a narrow passage like the sword array just now, Suzaku may not be able to survive.
But, can the invisibility cloak cover Suzaku?
When Xiao Lou was about to ask, Lu Jiuchuan explained: "Although the Suzaku is large, it has already recognized its master. Its destiny is connected to me, and its status will be affected by me. If I become invisible, it will become invisible."
Yu Hanjiang glanced at his brother's arm: "If you are injured, will it be injured too?"
Lu Jiuchuan gently touched the Suzaku's wings and said with a smile: "Yes, fortunately my injury has been bandaged, and it can fly."
Now that everyone has the tools to pass the test, Xiao Lou's method can naturally be implemented.
Yu Hanjiang put his arms around Xiao Lou's waist, and the two of them put on their invisibility cloaks at the same time, and flew over with the card as light as a swallow.
Lao Mo used Liu Qiao's card, and Lu Jiuchuan rode Suzaku. In an instant, the six of them had left the range of the iron tree hell's machine formation. Looking back, the iron tree behind them was indeed motionless - they couldn't see, hear, or sense anything.
, it can’t do anything about it.
Xiao Lou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Everyone, let's move on."
The corpse of the hunter hanging on the iron tree made everyone feel uneasy. As Xiao Lou walked, he told Ye Qi the news through telepathy, and asked Ye Qi: "Have you found any traces of the hunter over there?
?”
Ye Qi said: "No. We have a smooth road. The place is full of melodious Sanskrit sounds, and there are many portraits of Bodhisattvas on the walls."
At this time, Ye Qi and the others entered a very strange room.
The room is about the size of a classroom in middle school. On the four walls, there are four colorful and lifelike murals, one in yellow, one in white, one in red, and one in green.
Although Ye Qi didn't understand Buddhism, just by looking at the murals, he could tell that the paintings on the four walls should be Bodhisattvas.
Sure enough, Guiyuan Zhang said: "These four are the four great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism."
He looked at the first wall and explained to his teammates: "The one wearing a khaki dress and riding an old elephant with yellow tusks is Samantabhadra. The background of this painting is Mount Emei, Samantabhadra's dojo, which symbolizes virtue."
"The one wearing a red cassock and holding a staff in his hand is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. The Jiuhua Mountain in the background represents the power of aspiration."
"The one dressed in white and holding a jade purification bottle is Guanyin Bodhisattva, representing compassion, with Mount Putuo in the background."
"The one wearing green clothes and riding a green-faced lion is Manjushri, symbolizing wisdom, with Mount Wutai in the background."
Wisdom, compassion, action, and aspiration are the four great bodhisattvas of Buddhism.
In addition to the lifelike characters drawn in these four murals, the background mountains and rivers are also extremely exquisite and detailed, almost comparable to paintings collected in museums.
Ye Qi clicked his tongue and praised: "This painting is also very good, with bright colors and exquisite details. However, are there any particular positions for these four Bodhisattvas? How to open the mechanism of this room?"
While they were wondering, the mural in front of them suddenly cracked in front of everyone's eyes and turned into countless palm-sized fragments! Then, these fragments were quickly disrupted, and the murals on the four walls suddenly became chaotic.
Chu Huaying raised her eyebrows slightly: "It seems to be a puzzle mechanism. Do you remember the four pictures just now?"
Teammates: "…………"
It's only been a few seconds since I entered the room, how can I remember it!
Everyone's faces were a little ugly. Ye Qi scratched his head and said: "You don't have to remember the original picture to play jigsaw puzzles. Ahem, the pieces are all irregular anyway, and the edges must be aligned, and the color blocks of the clothes are still there."
It's relatively easy to find, let's... try it first?"
Guiyuan Zhang thought for a while and said: "In this case, I will be responsible for the puzzle of Manjushri Bodhisattva, Huaying will be responsible for Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Mr. Shao and Xiaoye will be responsible for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and Mr. Long and Miss Qu will be responsible for the remaining puzzle pieces of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
When doing it, first look for color blocks that are easier to put together, such as clothes and hair, and the mountains and rivers in the background will be done last. Everyone, hurry up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the prompt "Countdown to 30:00" appeared above everyone's heads.
30 minutes, four walls puzzle!
Ye Qi often played jigsaw puzzles when he was a child, but they were not time-limited, and the original pictures were placed beside him for reference. Now, the original pictures were broken and the time was limited. Everyone was a little nervous when they saw the countdown and quickly walked to the wall.
Move your hands forward.
Soon, Ye Qi discovered that Gui Lao had left two relatively simple pictures to them.
Ksitigarbha and Avalokitesvara are murals of the two Bodhisattvas. The former wears red clothes and the latter wears white clothes. The fragments of the clothes are very easy to find. After the clothes are put together, the outline of the characters will be clearer. According to the principle of corresponding edges of the fragments,
They looked for the adjacent tiles next to each fragment, and slowly, they pieced together a rough idea.
The puzzle that Gui Yuanzhang and Chu Huaying were responsible for was very difficult. First of all, the clothes came in several colors; secondly, the murals of Manjusri and Samantabhadra also included mounts, not to mention the complicated background...
However, Gui Yuanzhang and Chu Huaying's speed was no slower than the other two groups.
Especially Chu Huaying, her slender fingers quickly picked up the pieces and pieced them together. After only 10 minutes, she had already pieced together nearly 50% of the pattern. Ye Qi admired it in his heart, and he also speeded up.
When the countdown was 10 minutes, Gui Yuanzhang took the lead in completing the puzzle of Manjushri Bodhisattva.
With an 8-minute countdown, Chu Huaying completed the mural of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
With the last 6 minutes left in the countdown, Shao Ye and Long Qu completed the puzzle of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Everyone was in false alarm, and Qu Wanyue couldn't help but feel ashamed: "Our duo is not as fast as senior and Sister Ying alone."
Chu Huaying said calmly: "I have the ability of photographic memory. I can remember a picture instantly. Gui Lao is already familiar with Bodhisattva and the like, so he is naturally easy to put together. I don't blame you. You can do it within the prescribed rules."
Just finish it within the time limit.”
She seems indifferent, but she doesn't speak condescendingly.
At first, Qu Wanyue didn't dare to get too close to the legendary female killer. After hearing what Chu Huaying said, the distance in her heart narrowed slightly. She looked at Gui Yuanzhang and said: "Senior Gui
Sure enough, I guessed it right, the first level is the Eighteen Arhats, the second level is the Four Bodhisattvas, and there should be higher-level Buddhas in the back, right?"
Long Sen scratched his head: "Will there be a Tathagata Buddha?"
Ye Qi said: "No matter how difficult the mechanism is here, at least there is no danger. Professor Xiao just told me that they passed through the Iron Tree Hell, and the trees were full of corpses, and they also found the corpse of a hunter."
Everyone was nervous because they encountered a time-limited puzzle just now, and Ye Qi didn't have time to pass the information to his teammates.
When Gui Yuanzhang heard this, his expression changed slightly: "Hunter?"
Ye Qi described the scene that Xiao Lou telepathically conveyed to him: "Well, the branches and leaves of the Iron Tree are all sharp knives. A hunter may have entered the Iron Tree Hell and was accidentally killed by the Iron Tree. His body is still there.
Hang on it."
Chu Huaying clenched her left fist, and pulled out the spider dagger from the card bag with a "swipe" sound with her right hand, saying: "It seems that the hunter has sneaked into the maze, we have to be careful."
Shao Qingge was thoughtful: "Where did they come in from? How could they be in front of Xiao Lou's team?"
Gui Yuanzhang was silent for a moment before he came to a conclusion: "Six paths of reincarnation, six paths... what if the flow of time is different?"
This conclusion made the teammates look at each other in shock.
Ye Qi shook the goosebumps that appeared on his back and said: "One day in heaven, one year on earth, it is said in fairy novels. We are walking on the path of heaven and humanity now. 30 minutes here may not necessarily be the same as hell.
30 minutes...is that what you mean, senior?"
Gui Yuanzhang nodded solemnly: "The hunters walked in front of Xiao Lou and the others. They either came in from other entrances, or were directly transported to the hell realm from other reincarnation passages. The time in the hell realm should be longer than others.
Reincarnation must be fast, and the terms of imprisonment in the eighteenth hell are calculated starting from ten thousand years. The gatekeepers cannot let them really stay for ten thousand years, so they will compress the time."
At the same time, Xiao Lou's stomach suddenly rumbled.
They had eaten a midnight snack before entering the maze. It seemed like it had only been an hour since they entered the maze. Why were they so hungry all of a sudden?
He was too embarrassed to tell his teammates when he was hungry. Xiao Lou would not do such a thing without telling everyone. Because he knew that every feeling in the secret room was a piece of information. Even if it was just simple hunger, might it mean something else?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lou stopped and asked, "Are you feeling hungry or tired?"
Lu Jiuchuan also stopped and rubbed his stomach: "I am indeed very hungry. I just had a big meal before entering the secret room. What's going on?"
Lao Mo scratched his head: "I feel very tired too. Is it because we kept running forward and passed several institutions in a row?"
Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and guessed: "It should be due to the speed of time. We feel that we have only spent an hour in the hell realm, but in fact, the time flow in this passage is very fast. According to the current level of hunger, it should have passed
One day.”
He often forgets to eat when he is busy in the hospital. He is so hungry after not eating for a whole day.
Tang Ci agreed with Xiao Lou's reasoning: "The time flow rate in the secret room is controlled by the gatekeeper, but this is the first time I have encountered that the time flow rate is different in different areas of the same secret room. It seems that this hell realm is indeed different.
It’s so nice to go.”
Yu Hanjiang made a quick decision: "Eat something first to replenish physical energy."
Otherwise, if they encounter predators next, they will be too hungry to run away and will be embarrassed.
Everyone in the 3 Spades Financial Crisis Secret Room has received the [Material Supply Pack] card, which can be used once a day to obtain basic food such as milk, mineral water, instant noodles, chocolate, etc. Although it is only limited to adult men.
It fills a gap between teeth, but it's better than nothing.
Everyone sat on the ground, took out their supply bags and ate quickly.
After Tang Ci and Liu Qiao shrank in size, their appetites would also become smaller. After all, their stomachs would also become smaller. Lu Jiuchuan looked at Tang Ci who was as big as a thumb in his pocket, broke off the chocolate in his hand into a small piece as big as a sesame seed, and used
She put her fingertips to his mouth and said with a smile: "Is that enough?"
Tang Ci: "…………"
Mr. Tang, who was being fed, opened his mouth expressionlessly and swallowed the sesame-size piece of chocolate from Lu Jiuchuan's finger.
Then he was really full and burped quietly.
Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help laughing: "How about you get smaller like this every day from now on? It's so easy to support, hahaha."
Tang Ci: "..."
I ignored him and crawled back into my pocket to rest.
Xiao Lou suppressed his laughter and wanted to give half of his instant noodles to Yu Hanjiang. As a result, Yu Hanjiang took the initiative to hand the milk to Xiao Lou: "You drink it, I'll just drink some water."
Food was limited, so Xiao Lou's physical exertion was not serious. Yu Hanjiang chopped off his tongue with a saber, and carried him flying with Qinggong. Moreover, Yu Hanjiang was over 185cm tall, and his body was much stronger than him, so his appetite was naturally larger than his.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Lou was really embarrassed to give him food, but when he saw Yu Hanjiang's gentle gaze, it was not good to refuse. Xiao Lou simply put the two bottles of milk back on the card temporarily and said: "
Keep it for now, just in case you get hungry again later, you can use it to cushion your stomach."
Yu Hanjiang had no objection.
According to this time flow rate, they have gone through the eighteen levels of hell... it would be funny if they didn't get trapped in hell and starve to death.
Yu Hanjiang stood up simply and pulled Xiao Lou along: "Since the flow of time has been compressed, we'd better hurry up. This is the third level of hell."
His teammates didn't have any objections and followed him one after another.
***
[Chapter 382, Evil Mirror Hell]
The fourth level of the Eighteen Hells, the Mirror Hell, is said to have many mirrors that allow people to see the sins they committed during their lifetime.
The six people walked forward for a certain distance and bumped into a mirror.
There was a whole wall of mirrors, so that everyone could see themselves clearly. There seemed to be no road behind the mirror. Yu Hanjiang stretched out his hand and pushed it gently, but it couldn't be pushed at all. Xiao Lou looked carefully and found no path on the mirror.
Any agency.
The teammates had questions in their heads: "How to open this?"
Xiao Lou thought for a while and suddenly took out the Yin-Yang mirror in his pocket. Their mirror happened to be on the Yin side, the door of death, and could shine into the underworld... He used the Yin-Yang mirror to look at the mirror wall in front of him, and sure enough he found something in the mirror.
opened a path.
Using a mirror to open a mirror, why did Xiao Lou think of it in a second, but we didn't?
Except for Yu Hanjiang, all other teammates have this mentality.
Yu Hanjiang was accustomed to Xiao Lou's familiarity with various mechanisms, so he immediately walked in after a passage appeared in the mirror wall. The others followed him, and everyone soon discovered that the six of them had entered a mirror maze.
There are mirrors on the front, back, left and right, which can clearly reflect your own image. Some faces are deliberately distorted and look like ghosts. Walking in such a mirror maze with a luminous pearl is really scary, scary to death.
Lao Mo's heart was trembling. Just now he saw his whole face in the mirror covered with blood, and he almost cursed. These strange mirrors deliberately distort everyone's facial features and bodies, and also add some bloody effects, making them feel like evil ghosts.
Bleeding and crying...
Xiao Lou also saw himself distorted in the mirror, left and right, wherever he went, those distorted images followed him, like a shadow.
This mirror maze is so psychologically torturing.
It is a complicated maze with many forks, and there are mirrors on the front, back, left, and right, and some scary reflections appear in the mirrors from time to time. After walking for a while, everyone was like headless flies running around, and then walked back to the starting point.
Lu Jiuchuan frowned: "This mirror maze is winding and winding, can you find the way?"
Everyone looked at Lao Mo, who had the strongest route-finding ability.
Lao Mo took a deep breath and said: "It's my fault. I just saw myself in the mirror with my face covered in blood. I was so frightened that I forgot the route. Ahem, let's go further and I'll draw the map again..."
Xiao Lou suggested: "Old Mo, don't you have a dyeing card? Can you blur all these mirrors?"
Mo Xuemin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, I was so nervous that I forgot about this."
After he said that, he picked up the card [Color Element]. He used this card to dye the sea water when he was at sea.
After entering the mirror maze, Lao Mo dyed all the mirrors on both sides of the first section of the road green. The mirrors were covered with dye, and when you look at the green paint, the function of the mirrors is almost useless, and naturally it will no longer appear scary.
's reflection in the mirror.
Lu Jiuchuan laughed: "There is really a way, and you can also use paint to deal with mirrors."
This feeling is the same as that of a Heisei who comes to collect debts, splashing paint on the mirrors along the way.
If the mirrors were conscious... they would probably want to vomit blood at this time.
Lao Mo sprinkled the scary mirror maze with colorful colors, and it immediately turned into a colorful children's paradise.
Everyone was walking in the colorful maze. Lao Mo quickly drew a picture and said: "This should be a square maze with four "tian" characters combined together. The exit is in the upper right corner. Our vision was affected by the mirror just now. The maze
It’s actually not difficult in itself.”
Under the leadership of Lao Mo, everyone quickly walked out of this small mirror maze.
Some white mist appeared faintly ahead, and the surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher.
Xiao Lou said: "It's the fifth floor, steamer hell."
Looking at the white fog in front of us, the hot air hitting our faces made everyone stop involuntarily.
It's almost like a giant sauna.
Liu Qiao is a science student. The steam is very similar to the water vapor they used in middle school experiments. She hurriedly said: "Don't touch the steam, everyone. The temperature should be 100 degrees. If we pass through the steam, we will not only be burned, but also steamed."
Ripe."
Being steamed alive is a torture that no one dares to try. What's more, the steamer hell in front of you has an unknown area. If you break in rashly, you may never return, and you will collectively become steamed human flesh.
Xiao Lou looked at Lu Jiuchuan and said, "It can only cool down. Brother Jiu, can your ice sword freeze the steam?"
Lu Jiuchuan shook his head: "No, the ice sword can freeze the living creatures that are hit, but it cannot freeze the air. Otherwise, I would have frozen those scissors in the scissor formation just now."
So what should we do? It seems that everyone has no cards in the frozen environment.
How to get through such hot steamer hell?
Tang Ci suddenly thought of a way: "My drone is resistant to high temperatures, I should try it."
He summoned a drone, which flew back and forth from the white steam, and fed him a lot of useful information. Looking at the numbers displayed on the screen, Tang Ci said: "The steam temperature is 100 degrees, and the ambient humidity exceeds
80%. This steamer hell is about 100 meters long. There are no cooling cards, so you can only break through it."
If you have Ye Qi's teleport card, you can teleport once at 50 meters and twice at 100 meters.
If a person is exposed to 100-degree steam for 2 seconds, he will not die, but he will be burned. Fortunately, it is bearable. Unfortunately, Ye Qi is not around, and they do not have fast-moving cards. If you use Qinggong, you will stay in the steam for as long as
If it takes longer, your whole body will be burned...
Just as he was wondering what to do, Tang Ci suddenly summoned four robots.
It looks very much like a robot in a science fiction movie, with numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 on its chest.
They came to Tang Ci, and Tang Ci didn't know what operation he had done. The chests of the four robots suddenly opened and turned into four sets of clothes. Tang Ci said: "Everyone, come in, this is my mechanical armor.
Although it will be awkward to move after wearing it, fortunately, the material is similar to the metal of the drone and can withstand high temperatures."
Everyone: “…………”
Mr. Tang has so many treasures at the bottom of the box!
Yu Hanjiang took the lead and got into the metal armor. After the armor was closed, there was a transparent window in front to see the road. Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang who was wearing the armor and looked majestic. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Looks like a future mecha warrior."
.”
Tang Ci said: "The armor only lasts for 10 minutes. It can prevent bullets and high temperatures. Everyone, please act quickly."
After putting on the armor, he did become very clumsy, and his footsteps made a rumble when he walked, which sounded quite majestic.
The four "Mecha Warriors" slowly passed through the high-temperature steamer hell in 5 minutes. Although the "jackets" could prevent everyone from being burned, everyone inside still felt a bit stuffy.
After leaving the steamer hell, everyone immediately took off their metal armor and breathed in fresh air.
At this moment, Ye Qi's voice came from Xiao Lou's mind: "Professor Xiao, we have passed the second level, which is the Bodhisattva puzzle. I originally thought that the Bodhisattva could see the Buddha after finishing it, but in fact, the gods did not see the Buddha.
, we have returned to the origin of the six paths of reincarnation."
Xiao Lou was stunned: "What?"
Back to the starting point? How could this happen...
