Chapter 505 The Hall of Decision
"It''s a corpse! There''s also a treasure box!"
Sun Xiaowei said excitedly, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Mr. Yuan.
"Don''t be impulsive. Have you never thought about how he died?"
Sun Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Yes...it''s obviously a dead end, why did this person die in it?"
"There must be danger." Luo Jun looked at Sun Xiaowei: "Sister, you are a creative person, can you make a kitten or puppy to go in and explore the situation?"
"Uh..." Sun Xiaowei shook her head in embarrassment: "The creation faction has two branches: creation and creation. I am a creation faction and I can''t create living things..."
"Ah?" Luo Jun sighed: "Then we can only think of other ways..."
He said this casually, but the sigh made Sun Xiaowei feel disappointed. She immediately refused and said: "Although I can''t create life, the creation system also has methods of creation!"
As she said that, she put her hands on her face, and the mechanical mask that covered most of her face suddenly came to life, began to split into parts, deformed, fell off her face, and turned into a mechanical spider after landing on the ground, with four legs alternating Activities, turning around flexibly on the ground.
"That thing you are wearing on your face is not a treasure, but a robot?" Seeing this scene, Ma Qiao was a little surprised and said: "Is this made by the power of creation? I thought that creation can only create some swords, guns, swords and halberds, and powerful ones. It’s just that the structures of houses and firearms are a little more complicated, but even robots can be made with such precision?”
"What does this mean? Our Sanchuan Sun family are experts in the creation department!" Sun Xiaowei looked proud: "Not to mention such a small machine, my grandma can even build Transformers!"
"Sun Family in Sanchuan City?" Mr. Yuan was slightly startled: "Is your grandma''s name Li Xiuzhen?"
Sun Xiaowei and Luo Jun were stunned at the same time.
Sun Xiaowei said: "Mr. Yuan, do you know my grandma?"
Yuan Shouzhen nodded: "She was also my student back then, and her talent in creation was second to none in the entire Cathay. Your grandfather was the heir to the Sun family back then, so he was naturally a master of creation. However, he lost to your grandma, and we fell in love at first sight... I was the witness for all their weddings.”
"Mr. Yuan and my grandma still have this connection?" Sun Xiaowei said excitedly: "Why haven''t I heard grandma mention it?"
"This..." Mr. Yuan hesitated: "For some reasons, my students all..."
"Oh, don''t mention those old things." Luo Jun could probably guess the reason and hurriedly changed the topic: "Senior, are you a powerful robot spider? Why don''t you give us a show?"
"Of course it''s awesome!" Sun Xiaowei took off her mask, her expression written all over her face. She raised her hand: "Xiao Hei, go check out the situation."
The mechanical spider got the order, spread out its four legs and quickly climbed into the fork in the road. It quickly came to the skeleton, then stretched out two mechanical arms from its back, grabbed the bracelet on the skeleton''s wrist and took it off.
But as the bracelet moved, the whole body of the skeleton began to tremble. Then, from under its ragged clothes and from the gaps in its bones, hundreds of bugs suddenly emerged and swarmed towards the mechanical spider!
"What is that!" Sun Xiaowei was startled. Those bugs were about the thickness of a thumb and more than a foot long. They were soft and smooth, with an open head and a terrifying mouthpart full of sharp teeth. They crawled onto the mechanical spider. Start biting!
"Don''t be afraid!" Sun Xiaowei gritted her teeth, not knowing whether she was comforting others or encouraging herself: "Xiao Hei is very tough and will not be easily..."
Before he finished speaking, one of Xiao Hei''s mechanical arms had been bitten off, and the jade bracelet fell to the ground. But the bugs didn''t give up, entangled it and gnawed wildly. The seemingly hard mechanical body looked like paper under their mouths. The same!
"Are their teeth so powerful?" Ma Qiao felt a little bit sore at the sight: "Can metal be bitten so easily?"
"Something''s wrong!" Sun Xiaowei saw sweat on her forehead: "These bugs can devour vitality! Xiaohei is a creation of vitality, and the hardness is meaningless in front of their mouths!"
"Get rid of it." Mr. Yuan said: "Creation consumes vitality, especially a stable creation like yours that is maintained all year round. If it is eaten, it will suffer a lot. Now that you can cancel it, you can recover some of your vitality."
Sun Xiaowei gritted her teeth. She knew what Mr. Yuan said was right, but she was dissatisfied. She didn''t want to embarrass herself more than she wanted to. She wanted to prove herself so much that she could stand alone, so that she could get closer to that figure...
Thinking of this, Sun Xiaowei formed a seal with her hands: "Xiao Hei, launch!"
As she issued the command, Xiao Hei, who was entangled by the bugs, suddenly deformed, and the intact parts of his body automatically separated and fell off. He immediately reorganized a small machine, grabbed the bracelet and ran out.
As for Xiao Hei''s body, as a bait to attract insects, it has been completely submerged.
"Hoo, ho..." After getting the bracelet, Sun Xiaowei gasped for breath and sweat appeared on her forehead.
What Mr. Yuan said was right, being devoured by creation is very damaging to the vitality. Sun Xiaowei''s foundation is not very solid. In order to catch up with Ye''s footsteps, the focus of her training in the past six months has been on concentrating the mind. Although Xiao Hei''s swallowing would not deplete her energy, it was still a considerable drain.
"Well done!" Mr. Yuan encouraged: "But don''t be so impulsive next time."
"Senior, take a breath." Luo Jun took out the Qi Storage Spirit Stone. This can hold two hundred breaths of vitality. It is useless to him, but for ordinary practitioners, if they go out and take one with them, they basically don''t need it. Worried about the depletion of energy.
"Thank you." Sun Xiaowei was not polite, took it and took a sip, her face obviously improved.
"Hey, senior, that''s a huge amount!" Luo Jun took it back and saw that 70% of the vitality in the spirit stone had been reduced, which was higher than the total amount of vitality of most people.
"It takes a lot of energy to maintain a creation stably." Mr. Yuan explained: "If you want to become a powerful creative sect, you must have enough energy reserves. Xiaozhen and his wife are extremely spiritual, and their granddaughter''s talent is definitely not bad. "
Hearing Mr. Yuan''s compliment, Sun Xiaowei raised her head proudly: "Although I am only at the fourth level of the Solid Realm, my aura has already exceeded four hundred!"
This is indeed a good talent. Luo Jun has been in contact with her before. According to his judgment, Sun Xiaowei''s innate bone is not high, at most it will not be more than 1.5 times that of an ordinary person. She can have such a high aura at the fourth level of the solid state. She My spirituality is probably not inferior to that of Old Miaomiao!
Anyway, the bracelet was finally taken out, and after confirmation, it was indeed a treasure box. And those bugs seemed to be restricted by certain rules and would not leave the dead end. After eating Xiao Hei, they shrank back and got under the skeleton''s clothes again.
"How are we going to use this now?" Ma Qiao asked, "Would you like to get a Noble Phantasm first?"
"Don''t be anxious yet." Mr. Yuan suggested: "We are not short of Noble Phantasms at the moment. In this maze, supply is a big problem, and teleportation and prompts are all very useful functions. Bring it with you first, and wait until you encounter it. Let’s talk about the situation.”
The few people put away the bracelets and continued on the road. They encountered many forks along the way, and they could only choose randomly each time. They also went up two flights of stairs. According to calculations, they should now be three floors above the initial room.
Three hours passed in a blink of an eye. After turning a corner, everyone came to a spacious room.
This room was different from the previous ones. When they entered this room, the door behind them suddenly disappeared and turned into a wall without any gaps.
Looking forward, although there are five doors in the room, they are not open doorways, but closed doors.
Each door is four to five meters high and more than three meters wide. It looks heavy and strong, and there are bolts on the door.
"What does this mean?" Sun Xiaowei asked curiously.
"Look above your heads," Ma Qiao reminded. Everyone looked up and found a rule written on the ceiling.
Hall of Decision: There are five doors in the Hall of Decision. Once one door is pushed open, the other four will disappear. The door that is pushed open can be opened for up to one minute. After the time is up, it will automatically close and disappear into a wall. Each door leads to a different route, and not far behind the door, you will encounter a special event, corresponding to "relics", "shops", "monsters", "organs", and "teleports". Please Choose carefully.
…
Special event?
After reading the description of the Hall of Decision, everyone looked at the five doors around them.
"In other words, each door corresponds to one of these five encounters, right?" Sun Xiaowei said: "It seems that stores and relics must be safer... Monsters and mechanisms are definitely not needed. Teleportation, who knows where it will be teleported? Where to go?”
"It''s not up to us to decide what to choose." Ma Qiao scanned around: "These five doors look exactly the same."
"It still depends on luck..." Luo Jun looked at Mr. Yuan: "Has Caroline mentioned the information about the Hall of Decision?"
Mr. Yuan shook his head: "Chaos missions are also constantly evolving. The same mission may evolve into a new mechanism after a few years. It was already more than ten years ago that Caroline came out of the endless maze. And her exploration of the maze is very limited, so it’s normal for her to find things she hasn’t seen before.”
"What about the store?" Luo Jun asked: "What does the store rely on to exchange things? Has she mentioned it?"
Mr. Yuan didn''t seem to mention this when he shared information with everyone before.
"The store should have them at that time, but they were very rare. Caroline said she had never encountered them." Mr. Yuan explained.
Well... Luo Jun looked at the five doors. The dice was finally coming to use, but the question was which one to choose.
The relics are definitely useful, but the key is the store. I don’t know what to buy or what to buy it with...
"Then how do we choose?" Sun Xiaowei said: "They are all the same doors, so we can just push them casually."
"Let''s just leave it to fate." Luo Jun took out the small pistol again: "Let it spin on the ground, and we will push open whichever door the gun muzzle is closest to."
There was no other way, so everyone could only agree. Luo Jun put the pistol on the ground and activated the secret dice.
"Point to the door to the store!"
In the end, he chose the store. Even if he couldn''t buy it temporarily, he could at least remember the location and come back to use it when he had the chance.
"Ding! The event difficulty is 81 points, the final point is 37+5 points, the event failed."
Unexpectedly, the maximum number of the two dice rolls was only over thirty, and his face was extremely dark. Calculating the time, it should be refreshed soon. Luo Jun activated his regret and threw again.
This time, a pair of 51 points and a pair of 87 points finally succeeded.
As the prompt sounded, Luo Jun turned the pistol. After more than ten seconds, the turning stopped. The muzzle of the gun was pointed diagonally between the two doors, but it was obviously closer to one of the doors.
"That''s it!" Luo Jun took the lead and walked up, unlocked the latch, and pushed open the heavy door.
At the same time, the other four doors in the room disappeared.
Looking out through the open door, there is a corridor in front, and there is a corner about dozens of meters away. I can''t see anything behind it.
The door could only be opened for one minute, so the four people took the time to pass through, and then the door behind them closed and disappeared.
Everyone could only move on. After walking around the corner, they saw a deep corridor.
This endless maze is very strange. There is no light source visible, but the maze is always bright enough. If you look closely, it seems that the walls, floor and ceiling are all emitting hazy fluorescent lights that illuminate the entire maze. However, the intensity of this fluorescence is also limited, and it can only guarantee visibility of a few dozen meters. The scenery in the distance seems to be trapped in a dark fog, making it impossible to see clearly.
Therefore, even if it is a straight corridor, if you don''t walk up it, you won''t know what is ahead.
Several people advanced several hundred meters in the corridor, and suddenly saw a branch in front of them. They all became alert and carefully went forward to check. They found that the branch was about ten meters deep, and at the end was a small, closed window. Above the window There is a shabby plaque hanging with the words "Endless Store" written on it.
"Is it a store?" Sun Xiaowei said excitedly: "What a good luck!"
"Don''t take it lightly." Mr. Yuan reminded: "Maybe it''s some kind of mechanism or trap... I''ll go take a look. You guys wait here."
Luo Jun was the only one who knew that this was a real store, so he didn''t stop him.
Mr. Yuan walked up and knocked on the window. The window opened, and a fat face with a mustache poked out.
"Are there any customers? Welcome, this is the Endless Store. How can I help you?"
It seems like it really is a store? Mr. Yuan asked curiously: "What do you sell here, and what do you use to buy it?"
"I have everything here. You can see the product list for details." As he said that, Mustache handed over a brochure: "Everything listed here is sold in our store, and the prices are clearly marked."
Old Yuan opened it and took a look. Sure enough, there was everything from food supplies to weapons and equipment. There were numbers at the back indicating the prices. Most of them ranged from tens to hundreds of yuan. If you scrolled down, there were also thousands of yuan or even more expensive ones.
"Where does the money for this come from?" Mr. Yuan asked.
"If you don''t have money, you can exchange it for a treasure. Different levels and qualities have different prices." The mustache merchant smiled: "The treasure box of relics picked up in the maze can also be exchanged for money, one thousand yuan each. There are also killing Monsters, open treasure chests, crack mechanisms, and have a chance to get currency.”
"I see..." Mr. Yuan nodded, "I will discuss it with my companions."
"Okay." The businessman smiled and nodded: "But the Endless Store will not always be in one place. I will be here for an hour at most. If you want to buy something, it is best to collect enough money within an hour."
