Chapter 300 [Knife Mountain and Fire Sea] (two in one)
The old man stared at Tang Mubai with wide eyes.
"I said, I remember everything." Tang Mubai replied again.
"Are you sure?" Mr. Song asked again, "Are you sure you have memorized all the 360 formation patterns and 90 formations?"
"right."
The old man stopped talking.
He squinted his eyes and seemed to be lost in thought.
"Grandpa Song, we are ready."
Bei Xiaobei, Hua Youfei, Zhong Xuan, and Chu Xiangkou came out of the stone house.
Bei Xiaobei, who was walking in front, shouted Tiantian.
The old man didn't respond, he was still "thinking".
"Grandpa Song?" Bei Xiaobei came over and waved his hand in front of Mr. Song.
"Oh, you're here, well, let's go eat." The old man regained consciousness, glanced at Tang Mubai complicatedly, greeted Bei Xiaobei and the four of them, and walked towards the cafeteria.
On the way, the old man remained silent, and even though Bei Xiaobei called several times, there was no response.
When he was almost reaching the cafeteria, the old man woke up again and couldn't help but said, "Xiao Tang, have you really remembered everything? This is not a joke. If you say you remember, you will pass the test. We have to verify it."
"I really remember it." Tang Mubai smiled, "As for verification, just come."
Mr. Song, "..."
"Uh, what are you talking about?" Hua Youfei asked curiously.
"Yeah, what do you remember?" Bei Xiaobei also looked confused.
"It's the 360 formation patterns and 90 formation patterns that were distributed in the afternoon. I have memorized them all." Tang Mubai replied.
"What?"
"This is impossible!"
"Really? Is it too exaggerated?"
"..."
Bei Xiaobei, Hua Youfei, Zhong Xuan, and Chu Xiangkou shouted in surprise.
Everyone stared at Tang Mubai in astonishment with their eyes wide open, with expressions like "You're kidding me."
"Whether it's true or not, Mr. Song said it. Just verify it and you'll know." Tang Mubai spread his hands.
"Yes, yes, this matter must be verified!" Hua Youfei said urgently, "Mr. Song, please verify it for him! Three hundred and sixty formation patterns and ninety formation patterns can be memorized in half an afternoon.
How can it be?"
"...Okay." Mr. Song took a deep breath and nodded, "After dinner, we will..."
"What else are we going to eat? Verification is important." Hua Youfei interrupted.
"Yeah." Bei Xiaobei nodded in agreement.
Zhong Xuan and Chu Xiangkou also looked very interested.
Seeing this, the old man had no choice but to look at Tang Mubai.
"It's no problem for me either." Tang Mubai grinned.
"Okay, since we all support the verification, let's not eat for now." Mr. Song waved his hand vigorously and led the five people around to other paths until they entered a bright stone house.
An electric light hangs overhead and a wooden table below.
Mr. Song took out paper and pen and put them in front of Tang Mubai.
Bei Xiaobei, Hua Youfei, Zhong Xuan, and Chu Xiangkou were all surrounding with excited faces.
The old man shouted and Tang Mubai painted it.
Formation patterns and formation patterns appeared on the paper one by one.
No matter what the old man shouted, Tang Mubai could describe it immediately.
At first, the four of them, Bei Xiaobei, let out bursts of exclamations.
But at the back, the four people were silent, each with their mouths wide open and a dull look on their face.
Yes, yes, yes...all right!
The formation patterns and formation patterns described by Tang Mubai are all correct.
When Mr. Song stopped shouting, Bei Xiaobei, Hua Youfei, Zhong Xuan, and Chu Xiangkou were completely convinced.
Someone actually memorized 360 formation patterns and 90 formation patterns in just a few hours.
Even if Tang Mubai had seen some of them before, he couldn't remember the rest so quickly!
As for whether Tang Mubai took some elixir like psychic fruit, which resulted in his photographic memory.
Bei Xiaobei, Hua Youfei, Zhong Xuan, and Chu Xiangkou were not unknown, but they couldn't remember them. Even Mr. Song didn't think that far.
The reason is very simple. The fifth-level elixir such as psychic fruit is very difficult to find.
Even if you find it, it may not be mature.
If you want to eat it in your mouth, unless it already exists!
It is not easy to store psychic fruit. Only some big forces can use special means to preserve it.
They "know" that Tang Mubai comes from a big power. But even if he is from a big power, the psychic fruit cannot be eaten just because he can.
Taken together, no one would think that far ahead.
At this time, Bei Xiaobei, Hua Youfei, Zhong Xuan, Chu Xiangkou, and Mr. Song were all shocked.
After a long while, Mr. Song finally let out a breath and walked towards the door without saying anything.
The four of them, Bei Xiaobei, followed blindly.
Tang Mubai put down his pen and walked at the end.
In silence all the way, the six people arrived at the entrance of an alley.
"Ahem, go in from here and you'll find the dining hall at the end." Mr. Song coughed lightly and said, "The way to go in is one by one. The first one, Xiaohua, you go first."
Hearing this, Hua Youfei subconsciously walked into the alley first.
After returning to their senses, Bei Xiaobei and the other two people stayed where they were, with curious expressions on their faces.
one by one?
Come to eat one by one?
Tang Mubai was confused at first, but soon his expression became strange.
Not long after, Hua Youfei walked out of the alley.
"You finished eating so quickly?" Bei Xiaobei's eyes widened.
Zhong Xuan, Prime Minister of Chu, was stunned and thought of a possibility.
"Have you eaten? I haven't eaten yet. I didn't even find the canteen." Hua Youfei was at a loss, and after he finished speaking, he exclaimed, "Wait, didn't we say that we walked to the end, which is the canteen? Why did I walk to the end,
Back to the exit again?”
Whoosh!
Bei Xiaobei, Zhong Xuan, and Chu Xiangkou heard this and turned to look at Old Man Song.
Tang Mubai sighed secretly that he had to rush into the battle even to have a meal.
He just listened to Hua Youfei's footsteps, walking in a circle.
From entering the entrance to turning back to the entrance, Hua Youfei didn't notice at all. As he said, he kept walking forward, but unexpectedly, he returned to the entrance.
"Yes, this is a small maze."
Facing the gazes of Bei Xiaobei, Hua Youfei, Zhong Xuan, and Chu Xiangkou, Mr. Song returned to his smile and explained, "If you want to eat, you have to get through this maze. If you can't get through, then today
You’ll be hungry if you’re late.”
"Tomorrow...what about tomorrow?" Hua Youfei stuttered, "Do you need to go through the formation for every...every meal?"
"Yes." Old Man Song smiled, "This is true for every meal. Of course, if you fail to enter the formation three times in a row, you will have a chance to pass safely. In other words, if you fail to enter the formation all the time, you can eat it the next day.
One meal. So don’t worry, you won’t starve to death.”
Bei Xiaobei, Hua Youfei, Zhong Xuan, Chu Xiangkou, "..."
I won't starve to death, but I'm damn hungry!
You can only eat once every other day. Should you be so strict?
They haven't even started to learn about formations yet. If they want to succeed in the formation, they have to rely entirely on luck.
If we go together, that's still okay.
Tang Mubai was so powerful that he could memorize ninety formation patterns and patterns.
It should be no problem if you pass the small maze.
Damn it, I have to come one by one!
Master Xiu is so bad!
The four of them, Bei Xiaobei, Hua Youfei, Zhong Xuan, and Chu Xiangkou, complained secretly.
No one moved, just stood there with a pitiful expression.
Seeing this, Tang Mubai took a few steps forward and said, "If you don't want to leave, shall I go first?"
"Please." Old Man Song gestured to Tang Mubai to enter the alley.
Bei Xiaobei and the other four curled their lips and watched Tang Mubai disappear from the entrance.
He didn't even notice that when Tang Mubai walked into the alley, Old Man Song took a step back, stretched out his hand on the wall on one side, and lightly pressed a stone.
Click~
The slight sound was not noticeable in the night.
Starting from the entrance of the alley, the three-meter-high wall covering the entire small square flashed with light.
Tang Mubai, who was walking around, paused and sensed a change in the energy around him.
I'm trying to figure out what's going on.
"boom!"
The scenery before my eyes suddenly changed.
The walls, the alleys, the sky, all disappeared.
What replaced it was a mountain that was a hundred meters high and covered with sharp blades.
Knife Mountain!
"Knife Mountain? Has the maze formation become the 'Knife Mountain Formation'?"
Tang Mubai squinted his eyes and did not move forward immediately.
Hua You flew away from the maze formation. As soon as he came in, he changed the formation.
Not surprisingly, Old Man Song did this on purpose!
Another test?
"Oh, just change the formation, it's nothing special, it's just the 'Sword Mountain Formation'."
Tang Mubai chuckled lightly and rolled his eyes.
Speaking of which, compared to the maze formation, this "Sword Mountain Formation" tests your understanding and willpower more.
If you don't have enough mental strength, you will just be scared to death.
Of course, Tang Mubai was sure that when walking on these "mountains of knives", the false sense of pain and touch would be clearly conveyed to the brain.
It's like being pierced through the soles of your feet with sharp knives!
Especially at this moment, in Tang Mubai's field of vision, figures were climbing the "Knife Mountain".
These were also fake people, and the screams coming from their mouths kept irritating Tang Mubai's eardrums.
Well, wait!
Maybe not a fake person?
Tang Mubai sensed carefully and found that the expression changes on the faces of those figures who were walking and screaming were particularly clear.
In this case, it is very likely that the image from the past is left behind!
Some special ores in the new world can preserve images.
If this kind of ore is integrated into the formation, it will record the embarrassment of those who once broke into the formation.
Apparently very easy!
The reason for being mobilized now is just to stimulate Tang Mubai.
However, how could Tang Mubai be frightened by such a small scene.
The screams of those people on "Knife Mountain" were indeed extremely miserable.
Those who were pierced by sharp knives on their palms and soles of feet were relatively fine, but those who were pierced by sharp knives on their lower abdomen, thighs, chests, and heads would be miserable.
But the consciousness is still there!
Just hanging on the "sharp knife", enduring the baptism of pain over and over again.
The shrill and even heart-rending screams resounded throughout the "Knife Mountain".
When Tang Mubai saw this scene, the corners of his mouth subconsciously rose.
"It's really thoughtful to create a 'Mountain of Swords' illusion to stimulate people. You won't die, but you can feel real pain. The person who came up with this test is amazing!"
Tang Mubai grinned and murmured softly.
The brain is spinning rapidly.
"When you encounter the 'Knife Mountain Formation', those who forcefully break through are all fools. Only idiots do stupid things like having their bodies pierced by thousands of sharp knives."
"As far as I know, the trick to the 'Sword Mountain Formation' is on the steps up the mountain."
"There are eighteen steps in total. Go south or go down north? Go south or face north? No, it should be a balance between north and south!"
"In this case, that is..."
Tang Mubai's brain was spinning rapidly, deducing the array of sharp knives presented in the illusion of "Knife Mountain" and the formation patterns mapped on it.
Three minutes later——
"found it!"
Tang Mubai suddenly grinned and smiled secretly in his heart.
Relying on his strong mental power and the knowledge he had previously memorized about the "Knife Mountain Formation", Tang Mubai successfully found a way up the "mountain".
"let's go!"
A low drink.
Tang Mubai moved seven steps to the right, then stood on tiptoes and climbed up to the second step.
In the fantasy world of "Knife Mountain", when you step down with the toes of your right foot, you step right in the middle of the two sharp knives.
Therefore, I didn’t feel any pain at all!
Processed according to law.
On the steps at the back, Tang Mubai could accurately find the loopholes.
The images left around him and the people screaming were all ignored.
Soon, Tang Mubai climbed to the top of "Knife Mountain".
But the next moment, Tang Mubai frowned again, and when he saw the road going down the mountain, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Sea of fire!
Tang Mubai was speechless.
The road "down the mountain" was actually a sea of fire!
Everywhere within sight, there were blazing flames. It spread from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
The terrifying tongues of fire, as if they were real, burned the air and produced a large amount of mist, slowly rising, filling the sky, floating and circling.
"Huh~!"
A burst of "hot wind" rushed toward Tang Mubai's face, blowing the ends of Tang Mubai's hair and slowly "swaying" it.
After stopping for a moment, Tang Mubai took a deep breath and grinned, "Okay, 'Sea of Fire' is just 'Sea of Fire', it's just a fantasy formation, it can be done just as easily!"
Thinking of this, I held my breath and my brain turned quickly to find the way down the mountain.
This time it still only took three minutes to find the route.
With a chuckle, Tang Mubai raised his steps and Shi Shiran walked down from the top of the mountain.
In the blazing "sea of fire", a vigorous figure leisurely stepped on the "flame flowers" and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
That's right, the safe path in "Mountain of Knives" and the "Flower of Fire" in "Sea of Fire" are the passing routes.
Go slowly "down the mountain".
When you step out of the "sea of fire" and step down the last step.
boom!
As soon as the soles of my feet touched the ground, the scenery in front of me immediately changed.
The red sky, the billowing black smoke, and the hot tongues of fire all disappeared.
The night sky, ground, and tunnel exit from before reappeared before my eyes.
"Young man, that's amazing, it came out so quickly!"
A fat old man wearing a chef's uniform, with a bulging belly and a round head and round face, stood at the entrance of the alley and gave Tang Mubai a thumbs up.
Not far behind him, inside the open door, a smell of rice wafted out.
"good."
Tang Mubai smiled and said, "This uncle, does he know the fastest time for the 'Mountain of Swords and Sea of Fire' formation to pass through a person?"
"Of course." The fat uncle puffed up his belly and grinned, "The fastest one is ten minutes, young man, you are fifteen minutes, very good."
fifteen minutes?
Tang Mubai blinked.
He seemed to have spent a lot of time there. He didn't spend much time going up the "Mountain of Swords" and down to the "Sea of Fire".
A rough calculation shows that the real time is definitely within ten minutes.
I understood it clearly in my heart, but didn't say it out loud.
It was the fat uncle who was suddenly startled and blurted out, "Wait a minute, what you just said was the 'Mountain of Swords and Sea of Fire' array? Not the 'Shadowless Little Maze Array'?"
