Chapter 299 301 Incomplete Compass
This level is much more difficult than the previous ones, and it is a double level connected to the maze. This should be the last level, right?
Ning Qingyun rested for a while, recovered some strength, turned over and lay on his back on the ground to think.
After extreme fatigue, every muscle and joint in his body was extremely sore, every bone and ligament was soft, numb and even painful. The spiritual energy in his body had been used up, and every meridian and acupoint was empty. The purple energy in his dantian was surrounded by a circle of black flames and looked listless.
The reason why Ning Qingyun was lying here so peacefully at this moment was not only because he was physically exhausted and urgently needed to recover his strength, but also because Ning Qingyun felt that there was indeed no danger here.
Lunch and dinner were already very perfunctory. He usually had to eat at least two pieces of that beast meat in one meal. It was okay for him to maintain normal activities with only one piece, but the battle just now had consumed a lot of his physical strength. Every cell in his body had been squeezed to the limit, and his stomach had been empty for a long time. Ning Qingyun's stomach was cramping with hunger. At this moment, he deeply understood the feeling of being stuck in a dilemma.
Ning Qingyun looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist. It was five o'clock. In another hour, it would be dawn outside. He forced himself to sit up straight and began to meditate. The spiritual energy in the underground palace was thinner than that in the secret realm outside. He planned to look for an exit once the spiritual energy in his body recovered a little.
Ning Qingyun closed his eyes and meditated, and did not notice that something was dissipating from the bodies of the puppets that had lost the ability to move, and gathering in the air bit by bit.
When Ning Qingyun realized that the growth of spiritual energy in his body was a little abnormal, he stopped and checked, and found that the spiritual energy content in the cave had become very rich.
Ning Qingyun couldn't help but be shocked. The environment of a place couldn't possibly undergo such a drastic change in a short period of time. What happened here?
He looked down at the puppets he had killed. Some of the puppets were emitting spiritual energy into the air. After the spiritual energy on the puppets was gone, the puppets' originally upright bodies suddenly became loose as if their skeletons were suddenly pulled out.
Something seemed to flash through Ning Qingyun's mind. He jumped up quickly and picked out those puppets whose energy had not yet dissipated and quickly put them into the gem space.
He still remembered that he had obtained a book called "War Puppets Record" before. These black-armored puppets should be the so-called war puppets, right?
Reading from a script is not as intuitive as studying ready-made works. The substance containing spiritual energy in the puppet's body should be the key to the puppet's ability to fight. He hopes that the gem space can prevent the loss of spiritual energy in the war puppet's body, so that he can have time to study the production method of the war puppet.
After Ning Qingyun's internal spiritual energy recovered, his physical strength also recovered a lot. He tried the attack power of the spear in the puppet's hand and found that the spear, which was nearly 3 meters long, was so sharp that it could pierce a hole in the stone in one go. It seemed that it was not that the spear had low lethality, but that the clothes he was wearing had too strong defensive power. It really surprised him that such soft fabric had such strong defensive power.
Ning Qingyun put the armor on the puppet whose spiritual energy had dissipated, as well as the spear in its hand, into the gem space. The limbs and torso of the puppet under the armor were made of stone, just like the head. Except for a complicated-looking thing installed at the weak point where he was stabbed, there didn't seem to be anything special about it.
The ground in the cave, which was originally full, has now become much more empty, but Ning Qingyun's gem space is now full.
Ning Qingyun groped in the cave looking for an exit, or a reward for passing a level. After searching for a long time, he found a key to the exit of the secret realm in a corner full of glowing plants. After finding this key, only the last key was left to complete the collection.
Most of the other survivors in the secret realm lived a cautious cave life, hiding in the caves to practice, occasionally coming out to find some food, waiting for people outside to crack the method of entering and exiting the secret realm, and then leave safely.
Of course, this is undoubtedly the safest and simplest way. However, Ning Qingyun cannot wait that long, because he doesn’t know when the exit of the secret realm will open next time.
According to the instructions on the sheepskin scroll, the exit of this secret realm will only open again when the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is in turbulence.
Ning Qingyun put the key away and continued looking for an exit. He searched carefully on the moss-covered walls around him, not missing a single clue. Suddenly, his feet felt heavy, as if he had stepped on something. With a "creaky" sound, some mechanism was activated on the wall, which had originally appeared normal, and opened to both sides.
Ning Qingyun held the Ruyi Rings in his hands and stared at the opened wall with caution.
There was still a wall inside, a white wall, and on this wall was written "Here is a perfect magical weapon and a broken magical weapon, what will you choose?"
"Of course I'd choose a magic weapon." Ning Qingyun couldn't help but mutter to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, something suddenly appeared from nowhere and hit his feet with a "bang".
"Oh my god, what is that?" The boots on Ning Qingyun's feet were made of extraordinary material and had a certain degree of defensive power, but at this moment they seemed to be completely useless. His toes were hit by the sudden object, and he felt a piercing pain instantly. He could even feel that the toes that were hit suddenly swelled up instantly.
"Well, now that you've made your choice, there's no room for regret. Take it, I won't give it away." Another line of words flashed on the white wall. Ning Qingyun had just finished reading it when, with a "bang", the walls came together tightly again. A breeze brought by the rapid closing of the walls blew on Ning Qingyun's face, lifting a wisp of hair between his eyebrows.
Ning Qingyun lowered his head in astonishment and picked up the "artifact" that had fallen at his feet. It was a square, dusty stone box. No one knew what stone it was made of. It was very heavy in the hand. No one knew what kind of damaged artifact it was, and how perfunctory its appearance was.
Ning Qingyun picked up the stone box on the ground, wiped off the dust that was stubbornly attached to the surface of the stone box, opened it and looked inside. There was a pitch-black compass covered with cracks. The surface of the compass was divided into two distinct colors, one half was vibrant green, and the other half was a dull black-gray. In the center was a scarlet blood jade spoon, the handle of the spoon stood upright, and there were obvious signs of fracture on it.
