Lu Zhaozhao walked along the path behind the door until she reached a secret room.
She looked around and saw that everything was made of diamond, extremely sturdy, and it would be impossible to break through it by force.
It seems I have no choice but to obediently try to overcome the trials here.
Lu Zhaozhao drew her sword immediately, unleashing her full power.
A sound like something cutting through the air rang out, and five puppets descended from the sky.
With its iron shell, complete whiskers and tail, ignoring its stiff expression and silvery-white exoskeleton, it looks almost no different from an ordinary person, only a bit taller.
Five puppets surrounded Lu Zhaozhao in the middle. Lu Zhaozhao held her sword horizontally in a defensive posture, and neither side moved for a moment.
Seeing that the dolls did not move, she tentatively struck one of them from a distance.
In an instant, the doll seemed to come alive, reacting immediately and attacking her.
"sieve!"
A palm brushed past her cheek, and Lu Zhaozhao looked at the iron hand in front of her with some surprise.
She immediately followed the puppet's movement, surprised to find that despite its seemingly clumsy appearance, it was extremely agile. The attack was upon her in the next moment, and she instinctively dodged to the side, thus avoiding it.
The puppet missed its target, but the momentum from the strike carried it forward, causing it to collide with another puppet and then the wall. The diamond-encrusted wall was dented, and the puppet that was hit immediately began to move.
Lu Zhaozhao frowned; these dolls seemed to only react when attacked.
She immediately moved to the door, the other door opposite the one she had entered through, which she assumed was the way out.
There are five gaps in this door, which must be related to these five puppets.
In that case, she only needs to observe the differences between the moving and stationary dolls.
She tried her best to lead the two dolls to an open space, and tried to avoid touching other dolls while dodging them.
After turning around twice, I immediately noticed that the tops of the two puppets had a small protrusion, like a spring or something, which the three that were stationary did not have.
"This must be it," Lu Zhaozhao thought to herself.
However, the doll is tall and moves quickly, so reaching for things on its head is not easy.
Lu Zhaozhao looked around and stopped at a corner.
On a whim, she immediately ran towards the corner and managed to temporarily stop one of them. Although it was only for a short moment, it was enough.
The two puppets created a gap between them, and she used this gap to stop at the corner. Just as the faster puppet was about to strike, she seized the opportunity, slipped under the iron arm, and got behind it. At that moment, the other puppet arrived and immediately attacked.
The puppet behind him reacted quickly, turned around immediately, and another attack arrived as expected.
Offstage, Bai Yuanshi saw this scene, gripped the corner of the table tightly, stood up immediately, leaned forward, and his worry was palpable.
Many people also noticed Lu Zhaozhao's actions. The two puppets attacked at the same time, and judging from the palm that hit the wall just now, it seemed that their chances of survival were slim.
Qing Songzi, standing on the platform, frowned. He certainly didn't want any of his disciples to lose their lives here.
Just as he was about to have the disciples guarding the pass make a move, Lu Zhaozhao suddenly disappeared from under his two palms.
The attack, already underway, could not be stopped, and the two palms naturally landed on the opponent.
"Bang!"
After the loud noise, both dolls had dents on their bodies and collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, Lu Zhaozhao descended from the sky and immediately pulled the objects off the heads of the two puppets, and the struggling puppets became motionless in an instant.
"This is... a key?"
Lu Zhaozhao looked at the two oddly shaped objects in her hand that could barely be called keys, walked to the door, and inserted them. They fit perfectly.
Therefore, she only needs to activate the remaining three dolls to obtain the keys and then she can pass the level.
Lu Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow, surprised that this challenge was so simple.
Before she could make a move, the three still puppets suddenly started moving at the same time and rushed towards Lu Zhaozhao.
She instinctively dodged, but had to deal with attacks from three directions. With the door blocking her back, Lu Zhaozhao had no choice but to roll on the ground and kneel down in a somewhat disheveled state.
She didn't understand why the three puppets suddenly started moving when she hadn't done anything.
Not only did she not understand, but the people outside the venue were also completely baffled.
Qing Songzi explained, "Once the first key is placed, the remaining puppets are immediately activated. Since Young Friend Lu dealt with two puppets at once, the rest were naturally activated as well."
Upon hearing this explanation, almost everyone present gasped.
They could clearly see the puppet's strength; it was extremely fast and incredibly powerful. Lu Zhaozhao had only managed to obtain two keys by a trick, but with three puppets together, it would be very difficult to replicate what had just happened.
As they expected, Lu Zhaozhao was temporarily at a disadvantage when faced with the attacks of three powerful puppets.
The doll was extremely fast, and it attacked from three sides, making it difficult for her to dodge, let alone attack.
But this can't go on forever. Human strength has its limits, but puppets never get tired.
We must find a solution.
Lu Zhaozhao calmed herself down and kept thinking as she dodged left and right.
During this time, she tried to use force, but the dolls' shells were so stiff that several attacks only added some scratches.
This is really... a difficult situation.
Lu Zhaozhao sighed, her gaze shifting between the three puppets.
Suddenly, during a sharp turn at an extreme angle, she caught a glimpse of the puppet beside her whose arm had been caught in the forceful twisting as it attempted to launch a continuous attack.
An idea immediately formed in her mind.
She can reduce the distance between the puppets while dodging, and then wait for the right opportunity.
At a perfect moment, Lu Zhaozhao gathered all her true energy into her legs and moved at an extremely fast speed, weaving through the three puppets in the shape of a "几".
The puppet instinctively changed its attack based on her position, but the angle was too large and the speed was too fast. Before the upper arm could move into position, the lower hand had already struck.
"Click".
The clicking sound rang out clearly. Lu Zhaozhao placed one hand on the shoulder of a doll, used the momentum to leap, and her legs slid in an arc in the air. Her gaze shifted, and she located the key on the top of the doll's head.
With her other hand, she threw Niye with lightning speed, which caught at the joint of the doll's arm that was about to attack her, causing it to stop for a moment.
In that instant, Lu Zhaozhao pulled out the key to the doll beneath her.
Using the leverage, it landed steadily, while the doll whose key had just been pulled fell over.
With only two puppets remaining, the pressure was immediately reduced by more than half.
Lu Zhaozhao carefully put away the key in her hand and rushed towards the remaining dolls.
In no time at all, the three keys were in hand.
She walked toward the door and put the key inside.
With all five keys in place, the stone door opened automatically.
The crowd outside the arena stared in surprise at the scene in Lu Zhaozhao's secret room reflected in the mirror. No one had expected that she would clear the level so quickly.
Is this the fastest currently available?
Someone asked.
After a long while, someone shouted, "No, there's someone even faster! Bai Yuanshi from Wenyuan Academy came out at the same time as her, but he went in later!"
