Chapter 171 Inventory

After the first heavy axe armored man was chopped down, it became easy to face the second one.

After fighting for more than ten rounds, Li Yi jumped up and down and came to the scattered armor of the heavy axe armored man. He suddenly picked up the heavy axe of the first heavy axe armored man with the tip of his sword.

Then, the heavy axe spun in the air, and Li Yi spun and kicked sideways, with a burst of repulsive force, hitting the back of the heavy axe! Bang!!! The heavy axe flew out at high speed and hit the face armor of the heavy axe armored man, splitting it directly and spurting out some green blood.

Finally, Li Yi caught up quickly, and swung his machete across the heavy axe armored man's neck, finishing him off completely.

…

"Not bad. After the characteristics are enhanced, my physical combat ability has been greatly improved."

"Even if it's a mecha battle, the improved burst skills can increase the load a lot. Although the total amount of divinity is far less than that of the first-level heavenly rank, if it is a close combat with a genuine first-level heavenly rank, it should be able to withstand the endurance at worst."

"If we play well, we may have a chance to win."

After seeing the powerful Heavenly Rank masters like Mo Chenlong, He Guangzhi, Mu Tianlei, and Lin Wendong, Li Yi has a basic understanding of their strength.

Even though the chess pieces here have good strength and speed and basic intelligence, they still lack the combat wisdom possessed by truly intelligent creatures.

Therefore, although the fight is relatively rigid, it is still easy to deal with for a combat master like Li Yi.

You can't be so arrogant as to think that you can sweep the entire Tianwei realm just because you have defeated these opponents.

At the very least, one needs to condense two or three more divine genes to reach the threshold of a superior evolver.

Moreover, Li Yike knew that for the strong humans in the Heavenly Rank, physical combat strength was only secondary, and the Heavenly Rank characteristics were the core determining factor in the battlefield.

"According to the previous rules, the next opponent will not have strength and speed comparable to the second stage of the Heavenly Rank, right?"

…

After a short rest, Li Yi replaced the thick-backed machete with a heavy axe.

In comparison, although the heavy axe is not long enough, its defense-breaking power is quite fierce.

With the same material, except for the short combat distance which is a disadvantage, in terms of defense penetration ability alone, it is more powerful than the spear on the chessboard.

The next opponents will definitely be the slender armored man who is good at deceptive fighting skills, and the thick armored man who is obviously has extremely high defense.

Facing the combined attack of these two opponents, the thick-backed sword would probably not last long before breaking.

In this case, the high defense-breaking power of the heavy axe is less effective.

Sure enough, as Li Yi stepped forward, the strange smile on the visor of the slender armored man suddenly widened, and he waved his arms and leaped forward suddenly.

At the same time, the man in thick armor followed behind the man in thin armor, leaping forward with a pair of meteor-like weapons in his hands.

The slender armored man's leaping posture was like a fish leaping towards the top of a mountain. His whole body was stretched into a straight line, and he swayed left and right in the air like an eel, carrying great force as he crashed into Li Yi.

Li Yi did not hesitate, he picked up the axe and chopped! The blade of the heavy axe was sharpened by the divine power, and it was extremely sharp.

But at the moment when he was about to touch the man in the slender armor, he suddenly found that the man in the slender armor disappeared on the spot, as if he had changed his shape, and came in front of Li Yi and bumped into him.

The speed of his sudden turn and the lack of any signs clearly showed that it was not just the highly deceptive style of play in the sixth level, but a terrifying combination of quick turn skills and powerful speed! Bang!!! Li Yi's chest armor was hit, and his body kept retreating, while at the same time using the deformation characteristics to transform the injured muscles to dissipate the impact.

Even though his force was as strong as flowing water and automatically dissipated the impact of that blow, there was still enough force to penetrate the chest.

If the deformation property had not been enhanced more than twice to soften the internal organs, the injury might have been serious.

Moreover, he now knew that the speed and strength of this slender armored man was exactly the level of the second stage of the Heavenly Rank that had been estimated before.

At the same time, as Li Yi retreated, the meteor hammer of another man in thick armor was spinning and swung over diagonally with great force.

Swoosh!!! The heavy hammer as big as a millstone, attached to a chain, came crashing down.

Li Yi knew that he couldn't fight head-on, so he dodged to the left and avoided the attack.

Immediately afterwards, the heavy axe chopped down vertically, chopping down the relatively weak chain.

Ding!!! Hundreds of sparks burst out, and the surroundings suddenly became much brighter.

At that moment, the heavy axe was about to fall, and the man in thick armor pulled it back with great force. The axe blade and the heavy hammer collided fiercely, making a loud noise.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being a super-strength material unique to the divine civilization. Just by slightly increasing the thickness, it can make Li Yi's sharp blade, which is sharpened by the divinity, only leave a centimeter-deep mark under this huge hammer.

On the other side, the man in slender armor attacked again with the same trick after the first collision.

Swoosh!!! The speed of this leaping fish was even faster. Although Li Yi had predicted it after the first move, he still had no good way to deal with such a strong and large-scale collision. He could only dodge backwards and continue to increase the distance.

But as he dodged, another meteor hammer came flying over and directly blocked his retreat.

Li Yi had no choice but to turn around and leap to the other side.

According to the rules of the chessboard, a pawn cannot retreat more than a certain distance. Therefore, he could only continue to dodge to the side after retreating a short distance.

Under the overwhelming pressure from these two strong men whose speed and strength were comparable to those of the second-stage Heavenly Rank, Li Yi kept counterattacking and parrying with his heavy axe, trying to find the right moment to attack.

However, these two have a high attack frequency and very close coordination.

Li Yi couldn't find any chance to attack at all. He kept dodging and gradually deviated from the original battlefield, retreating to the left corner.

And it was at the same time that he left the initial battle area that changes occurred.

In the left corner, an armored man standing quietly with a spear in his hand suddenly moved to the right, and then, he threw it out at high speed! Whoosh!!! The spear passed a distance of more than ten squares and stabbed towards Li Yi in one breath.

Li Yi noticed the humming sound breaking through the air and quickly moved aside.

BANG!!! With a loud bang, the spear brushed past Li Yi's shoulder and stabbed into the ground steadily, three inches deep.

On this extremely hard ground, the spear could actually have such penetrating power. It was obvious that if Li Yi was directly penetrated by this spear, he would either die on the spot or be forced to give up the challenge.

Li Yike was still not sure whether dying on this special spire would be any different from passing through other spires.

On the other side, except for the armored man with the spear, as Li Yi's range of movement gradually deviated from the center line, other armored men who were approached by Li Yi also started to move one after another.

Some were holding swords, some were holding long-range artillery equipment, and they all adjusted their body postures, ready to attack Li Yi at any time.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi felt a chill in his heart.

He understood that wherever his chess piece appeared, it would trigger the movement of that chess piece.

The reason why there were only pawns and axemen cavalry attacking in the sixth level was, firstly, that he never left the center line, and secondly, that there were fewer pieces on the board.

Now that they have reached the seventh level, the difficulty has risen sharply. Everyone is very strong and Li Yi is gradually unable to cope with it.

Boom!!! The air wave from his feet exploded, and the man holding the sword leaned forward and attacked first.

…

More than ten hours have passed since Li Yi entered the characteristic spire.

Everyone had already finished exploring the various spires and were either resting or summarizing and exchanging their exploration experiences.

During this period, it was also very magical that in the northern ruins, apart from the dark clouds becoming increasingly thicker, completely covering the entire northern area and even swallowing up the abandoned mining carts in the surrounding area, nothing else happened.

In response to this, the two Heavenly Rank Powerful Men had been observing the movements in the northern ruins all along, and had summoned support from the border star early on, requesting that one or two more Heavenly Rank Powerful Men be sent over to help.

Although they knew that this would put a certain amount of pressure on the defense of the border star, they believed that as long as the two great masters Lu Yunsheng and He Guangzhi were there, it should still be stable.

At this moment, under the spire, several people gathered around and discussed anxiously.

"Li Yi has been gone for so long and hasn't come back. Did he encounter any misfortune?"

Liang Zhishen said worriedly:

"I asked around, and the one who lasted the longest in our group was Jiang Chaoqun, who lasted an hour in the Transformation Spire."

"The six people led by Lao Zhou only took two or three hours at most, and that was also a record maintained by the Transformation Spire."

"As for the other spires, most people complete the challenge within an hour."

Zhang Pengting consoled him, "Lao Liang, you are too concerned. We have encountered so many spires. No matter how many failures we have, the most we will suffer is mental trauma or minor injuries. It shouldn't be that serious."

Despite this, everyone still has their own concerns.

In discussion room.

BANG!!! The door to the characteristic spire opened, and a figure popped out.

"Fuck, Li Yi is out?"

Amid a burst of exclamations, the figure bumped into the ground in a panic, slid three or four meters, and finally stopped.

When everyone saw this, they thought something big had happened to Li Yi and were all shocked.

After all, with Li Yi's well-known skills, how could he not be able to stabilize his body after jumping out? They all rushed over and were ready to lend a hand.

Li Yi let out a long breath and stretched out his hand to stop everyone.

"I'm fine, but I'm mentally and physically traumatized. I need to rest for a while."

He slowly sat down against the back of a spire, adjusted his breathing, activated his growth characteristics, and repaired his body.

In the end, he accidentally stepped out of the center line, which led to the siege of spearmen, swordmen, and artillerymen. The two armored men were also eyeing him covetously, so as expected, Li Yi lost miserably.

Even though he managed to hold on for quite some time, he was still beaten to pieces by all kinds of brutal attacks.

Fortunately, after being beaten to the point of basically losing its combat effectiveness, it seemed that the spire judged it as a failure to pass the level and ejected it directly.

After this bounce, he naturally had no strength to stand still.

It was also thanks to a short rest during the ejection process that his total divinity was slightly restored. This allowed him to use his growth characteristics to cover the wound, slightly repair part of his body, and move a little before everyone came to help him.

Moreover, the endurance brought by the immortality divine gene is still in effect, allowing his condition to continue to recover.

Seeing that Li Yi needed to recover, everyone was not in a hurry to disturb him and waited quietly.

On the other side, Liang Zhishen immediately contacted the medical soldier and asked him to arrange the medical cabin over.

Anyway, the starship is docked here on the outskirts, and if the medical soldiers want to enter the ruins with the overturned dome, they just need to drive the flying car, which is very simple.

After a while, Li Yi opened his eyes and touched his chest. He found that the fragments of the divine core he had seized were still there. He immediately smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. Although I look a little miserable now, the overall harvest is not bad. How about you, how are the explorations of other inheritance spires?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

On the other side, Zhou Fuli and others also came over and said with a smile: "You have gained a lot. Although your body was seriously injured, it seems that you have one or two more divine genes? Have you made a breakthrough inside?"

Li Yi nodded and briefly introduced the situation of the characteristic spire.

Everyone was amazed when they heard this.

"There's no thought stamp at all? And as long as you clear the level, you can get a characteristic amplification? This characteristic spire is too good, isn't it?"

Lin Xiaohu shouted loudly, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

Others also had their own surprises.

Seeing this, Li Yi was slightly surprised: "Why, are you not satisfied with the harvest in other spires?"

Liang Zhishen said:

"It has been basically confirmed. Only two or three spires will be easier to challenge. The others are all extremely difficult."

"We have already scanned the surrounding area during this period. In addition to the Transformation Spire that Tan Haode explored before, there are also the Spiral Spire, Vision Spire, and Infinite Spire that we have tentatively named. The difficulty is not too difficult. At least we can learn something at the beginning."

"For the rest, it's basically a kneeling situation after one level."

"Also, the spires with lower difficulty levels, generally starting from the second or third level, are all equipped with thought stamps with mysterious thoughts, which need to be removed."

Li Yi thought thoughtfully: "What do you learn when you kneel in the first level? Is it a very advanced divine skill? Or is it something related to divine technology?"

Liang Zhishen snapped his fingers and said:

"Yes, it's just as you thought. Every level that made us kneel down was related to divine technology. We have tried it in turn. It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not, but a question of not being able to understand the guidance information transmitted by the spires."

Xu Weilu said helplessly:

"That's right. I can't understand it, and I don't know what to do. I can't figure it out at all."

Li Yi said: "So, you don't even understand how to operate it? For example, if I were to explain advanced mathematics to you now, you might not understand it?"

Lin Xiaohu's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, that's the feeling."

Liang Zhishen was startled when he heard this, and thought for a moment:

"Li Yi, you gave me some inspiration. I think it's probably because we lack basic teaching that we can't understand these level guidance information."

"Those teaching the basics of divine technology are basically in the northern ruins. The ones we have here are mainly advanced teaching towers!"

After these words were spoken, everyone began to think about it and felt that it made sense.

Zhou Fuli said:

"I agree with Liang Zhishen's point of view. Based on your previous exploration of the northern ruins, combined with the fact that the mysterious thoughts have not penetrated deeply here, which is far different from before, it is very likely that the mysterious thoughts may not have failed to penetrate completely due to lack of time, but that they cannot do it!"

"The spire here is very strong, which just prevents being controlled by mysterious thoughts!"

Li Yi said: "Also, what did you name those spires for?"

Liang Zhishen said:

"You already know about the Transformation Spire. It is the study of the transformation properties of divine energy that Tan Haode explored before."

"Spiral Spire, what you learn is a special way of exerting force, which can be effectively applied to actual combat."

spiral?

Li Yi thought of the explosive spiral power wielded by the spear-armored man he had encountered before. From the description, it seemed that the two were probably related.

Liang Zhishen continued:

"The Vision Spire, as the name suggests, is a level to learn illusion-related skills. But to be honest, although the first few levels are not difficult, there is no essence to them. They are just tricks to deceive the eyes."

As he spoke, Liang Zhishen picked up a stone from the ground, stretched out his palm in front of Li Yi, moved it quickly, and then suddenly closed it. The stone left a residual image, as if it was hidden in the pocket under his wrist. Then he asked: "Guess, is this stone in the left hand or the right hand?"

When talking about the left hand or the right hand, Liang Zhishen deliberately emphasized the words.

Everyone was trying to hold back their laughter, as if they wanted to make fun of Li Yi.

Obviously, anyone who didn't try the Vision Spire was fooled by this trick.

Li Yi glanced at the people behind Liang Zhishen and laughed, "So simple?"

He reached out and grabbed Liang Zhishen's right hand, preventing him from making any movement, and then said with a smile:

"This is a trick that has been played out for hundreds of years. Instructor, you are still able to pull it off."

In Liang Zhishen's open and closed right hand, there was a small stone lying quietly.

Obviously, Li Yi did not fall into Liang Zhiqiang's trap and said "I don't have either hand".

This style of play requires extremely high hand speed and advance arrangement of cues.

He first made a false move to create the illusion that the stone was hidden.

Then he said "left and right hands" in a very subtle tone, which aroused people's suspicion and led them to believe that the stone was hidden by Liang Zhishen and that there were no hands.

This way of playing is actually a better way than the conventional magic trick of guessing where the stones are hidden.

It is especially effective for evolvers with keen eyesight.

After all, ordinary people can't see the illusion that Liang Zhishen hid the stone in his pocket.

When the evolvers saw this illusion, they became convinced that they had no hands and fell into the trap.

Liang Zhishen was exposed by Li Yi, but he was not embarrassed. He said calmly: "It doesn't matter if the trick is old or not, as long as it can fool people. In the first two levels of the Vision Spire, you need to see through the guards' tricks. In the third level, you need to fool the armored guards of the Vision Spire. After that, we will gradually introduce more in-depth basic knowledge of illusions."

Li Yi listened thoughtfully. It seemed that the content involved in this Vision Spire might be related to the highly deceptive fighting style of the Slender Armored Man.

"From what Instructor Liang said, we have reached a relatively high level in this Vision Spire?"

Liang Zhishen smiled slightly and was about to speak when Xu Weilu said with a smile, "Except for Liang Zhishen who reached the fifth level, the third level is the limit for the others in the Vision Spire. Apart from anything else, this guy is quite good at deceiving people."

Zhang Pengting was also envious and said:

"That's right. At first glance, Lao Liang looks like a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. I didn't expect him to be so good at deceiving people. I think he has a good chance of continuing to work in the Vision Spire."

Li Yi ignored Zhang Pengting's jealousy and asked, "So, what is the Wuliang Spire? What does it teach?"

Liang Zhishen said:

"It's about learning how to increase the total amount of divinity per unit over a long period of time. There are many techniques here that we humans have never discovered. It's really worth learning."

"However, among the several spires we named, this Infinite Spire is the most difficult. It is said to be simple, but only the first level is simpler."

As everyone was talking, Xiaozhuang, who had been watching the surveillance, suddenly shouted on the public channel:

"Oh shit, there's some big movement in the northern ruins. Everyone, prepare to activate the divine mecha immediately!"

Mu Tianlei's Speed ​​Thunder Mech, which was standing on one side of the ruins, also spoke up:

"Everyone, except the injured, quickly prepare to start!"

It happened that at this moment the medic had just driven the flying car over and was instructing the bionic man to carry down the medical cabin. Upon hearing this, he was immediately confused.

Liang Zhishen said decisively: "Li Yi, go over and heal your wounds quickly. Don't rush to join our battle before you recover."

As he spoke, he called out loudly, asking the medical soldiers to come quickly and take Li Yi to his place.
