A few days later.
Ning Zhuo's soul entered the fairy palace.
He quickly assembled his body and walked down the hill of mechanical parts.
"Human lives hang by a thread..." He walked slowly, feeling carefully.
As his magical power grew stronger, he felt more deeply that the life of the person hanging by a thread was hanging by a thread.
"When transmitting along the life-suspending thread, there will be losses every time. Now, I will draw on the power of my Buddha Heart Demon Seal, and the losses on the suspension thread will definitely be much less than before!"
"Ning Zhuo is here."
"Look at his head. It's really big."
"Humph, he made us all wait for him. He's really acting so arrogantly."
The puppets gathered around the first door, watching Ning Zhuo coming and whispering.
The rest of the people were already in place, Ning Zhuo was the last one.
Ning Zhuo also looked at them.
There are five people from the Zhou family, two from the Zheng family, and only one person from the Ning family, himself.
"The three major families are starting to make their efforts... In the future, more and more people's souls will enter the Immortal Palace." Ning Zhuo sighed secretly in his heart.
Once the number of people reaches a certain scale, the mechanisms and traps he set up will become increasingly weaker, and eventually will be unable to contend and will be overwhelmed by the human wave tactics.
Compared with the three major families, Ning Zhuo was alone and weak and suffered too much loss.
Under the gaze of many puppets, Ning Zhuo walked to the door, touched the door, and selected the hanging ring.
"Next, we need to team up and break through the trap of opening the door." Ning Zhuo said.
The Zheng family cultivator nodded, but the Zhou family member refused: "The five of us are enough, there is no need to form a team together."
"We'll go through first, and you guys just follow in."
"Haha, our Zhou family has the largest number of people."
Although Ning Zhuo was the nominal leader, the Zhou family monks pretended to obey his orders but secretly disobeyed them.
Just as Ning Xiaoren expected, the Zhou family monks attempted to reduce Ning Zhuo's influence.
But they seemed to be sharing the burden for the group and vying to be the first to pass the test, so Ning Zhuo couldn't say anything openly.
However, Ning Zhuo was well prepared for this.
As soon as he thought about it, a teleportation circle appeared out of thin air.
The aperture flickered, and the golden-blooded war ape fell down and won a great victory!
"What is that?" The Zheng family cultivator shouted first.
"Who are you!?" All the Zhou family cultivators were horrified, and some of them even had trembling voices.
"There is an enemy, quickly disperse and surround him!" Ning Zhuo shouted, fighting bravely.
"Wait, wait!" Seeing that Ning Zhu was about to give the order to start a war, the Zhou family cultivator hurriedly stopped him.
"There's something strange going on, don't do anything!"
"Calm down, calm down, everyone, please be patient!"
The Zhou family monks had suffered a lot and were very clear about Yuan Dasheng's combat power. They were not at the same level as him, and if they fought, it would be the end.
The three puppets were staring at Yuan Dasheng as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Yuan Dasheng has a red body and golden bones, with countless black stripes all over his body, making him look full of evil spirit.
The injuries it had incurred when it broke through the barrier before were temporarily repaired by Ning Zhuo. Although its related abilities were greatly weakened, at least it looked the same as before.
In short, the three puppets dispersed and surrounded Yuan Dasheng, but no one took action.
Yuan Dasheng glanced at everyone, ignored them, and walked straight towards Gate No. 1.
The next moment, it pushed the door open and walked in.
The spears on the wall stabbed at him at the same time, but were easily blocked by Yuan Dasheng.
A heavy hammer was falling down on his head, and Yuan Dasheng easily grabbed it and threw it to the corner.
Afterwards, Yuan Dasheng raised the hammer high and reset the trap.
It continued to move forward, leaping between walls and obstacles, as if it was wandering happily in the mountain jungle.
Everyone who saw this through the crack in the door was speechless for a moment.
"What's going on with this mechanical monkey?" Ning Zhuo looked at the Zhou family cultivators, "You seem to know something."
The Zhou family cultivator flatly denied it.
Someone said, "Don't you see? This monkey mechanism is obviously different from ours. We have the ability to move by assembling parts."
"But this kind of mechanical monkey was teleported directly in."
Another Zhou family cultivator added, "Look at us, we both have wooden bodies, but looking at it, it is more than one level higher than us."
"If we really want to besiege it, we will definitely lose more than we win."
The Zheng family monk stared at Yuan Dasheng in Room 2, extremely puzzled: "But why did this mechanical monkey appear?"
"Perhaps..." Ning Zhuo pondered, "Perhaps it was specially arranged by the Third Sect Master to teach us."
"Look at this mechanical monkey. It's clearly capable of getting through Room 2, but it keeps jumping around between various mechanical traps. It seems like it's playing, or it seems like it's teaching us how to get through the levels."
After hearing what Ning Zhuo said, everyone's eyes brightened.
The Zheng family monk slapped his thigh and said, "That seems to be the case!"
The Zhou family cultivator remained silent.
Ever since the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng Group wiped them out once, they returned to the family and have been actively researching and speculating.
Their first guess was that Yuan Dasheng was a fire-melting demon ape in Huo Shi's body. Because he heard the Dharma bell, he practiced successfully, his soul entered the Fairy Palace, and assembled a monkey puppet to compete for the inheritance of the Lava Fairy Palace.
But the flaw in this conjecture is obvious: the mechanical parts in Room 1 are all made of the same wood. The materials used for the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng are obviously different.
Then they wondered if this was a setup of the Lava Fairy Palace.
When the challengers reach a certain standard, such as the number of people, the Lava Fairy Palace will activate this kind of mechanical monkey to block them.
They also wondered if they were still a competitor to the demon cultivator. In the later levels of the Lava Fairy Palace, those who passed the levels were allowed to change their puppet bodies.
The appearance of the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng is similar to that of his life, but it is difficult for others to associate him with the monkey. Because in the eyes of many people, monkeys basically look the same. Even when looking at people of different races, they are basically face-blind.
After what happened today, everyone saw with their own eyes that Yuan Dasheng was teleported here, instead of his soul entering the Immortal Palace.
This made some of the Zhou family's original speculations stand out.
main hall.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit kept moving his jaw left and right, grinding his teeth.
It snorted with anxiety and anger, and occasionally pounded its fists on the armrests of the throne.
It knows the truth best.
Watching Ning Zhuo use Yuan Dasheng in public, but keeping everyone in the dark, even some Zhou family cultivators who knew about it covered for him! How stupid.
What a bunch of idiots.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
There isn't a single smart one! The more the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit watched, the angrier it became, but it couldn't say anything.
The entire Lava Fairy Palace began to tremble with anger.
The top of Huoshi Mountain.
Amid the heavy veil of clouds and mist, the city lord Meng Kui immediately opened his eyes and saw that the Lava Fairy Palace was about to riot again. He sighed helplessly, his expression gradually became serious, and he was ready to activate the formation to suppress the riot at any time.
Ning Zhuo observed Yuan Dasheng through the crack in the door.
After Yuan Dasheng became spiritually self-sufficient, his reactions became sharper than before. When faced with complex obstacles and traps, he had more options to choose from and they were no longer as monotonous as before.
It's like it really came alive!
However, in Ning Zhuo's perception, his control over Yuan Dasheng still seemed to be covered by a thick layer of gray cloth, which was not very smooth.
"This mechanical monkey has been staying in Room 2, neither moving forward nor backward, and seems to be playing with these mechanical traps."
"Let's continue and ignore him for now!" Ning Zhuo said.
The Zhou family monks hesitated: "The trap at the door has been restored. We have to combine together to fight."
"What if we go into room two and are attacked by apes?"
Ning Zhuo shrugged: "We can't just not try anything this time, right? We might as well stay here and wait until our soul power is exhausted, and give it a try."
These words aroused strong agreement from the two Zheng family monks.
The Zhou family monks looked at each other and finally nodded: "The five of us will form a team, and you will follow."
"If the mechanical apes come to attack us, please ask the three of you to hold them off so that we can separate them into as many individuals as possible."
When combined into a huge mechanical puppet, its combat power will be greatly reduced.
Ning Zhuo agreed with the Zhou family cultivator's method.
The Zhou family's big puppet squeezed through the door, took the wall gun head-on, deflected the heavy hammer, and knocked off the net on the ground, clearing the trap at the door.
Seeing that Yuan Dasheng did not attack, the Zhou family monks breathed a sigh of relief: "Come in."
So, Ning Zhuo and the other three pushed the door open and walked in easily.
At this moment, Yuan Dasheng let out a low roar, suddenly turned around and killed everyone.
The Zhou family monks were horrified. Some wanted to attack, some wanted to turn around and escape, and some decided to stay where they were, which caused the Zhou family combination puppet to spin in circles.
Yuan Dasheng fell to the ground like a meteor, smashing them directly.
"As it turns out, we have to take action!" Ning Zhuo growled and pounced forward bravely.
Yuan Dasheng reached out and gently took off Ning Zhuo's puppet head and threw it directly into the nearest trap.
This scene was seen clearly by everyone.
Bang, bang, bang…
Yuan Dasheng’s punches were extremely powerful. He hit all the puppets one by one and completely defeated them.
The monks can only return to their bodies.
Yuan Dasheng jumped into the trap again, took out Ning Zhuo's head, and reinserted it on the puppet's body.
"Let's go." Ning Zhuo stomped his feet, waved his hands, and started the action with Yuan Dasheng.
Zheng family.
"Why did it end so quickly?" someone asked.
The Zheng family cultivator's face was full of seriousness, and he couldn't wait to say: "Although we lost this time, we gained a lot! We found the mechanical guards of the Lava Fairy Palace."
Zhou family.
New information leads to new perspectives.
"So, the mechanical monkeys must be obstacles specially placed by the Lava Fairy Palace when there are too many people in a group, so as to maintain the difficulty of passing the level."
"Well, it's very likely!"
Ning family.
"Why hasn't Ning Zhuo returned yet?" Ning Xiaoren wondered.
"That's how it is." He looked at the information conveyed by the other two families and understood.
"Ning Zhuo is so unlucky. The puppet's head has been ripped off and thrown into a trap. He can only return when his soul power is exhausted." Ning Xiaoren sighed.
at the same time.
Outside Huoshi Mountain.
Two black-clothed demon cultivators stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the Huoshi Immortal City on the mountainside.
“The message for help was sent from here.”
"Haha, I didn't expect that a genius like Han Ming would fail here."
"She usually doesn't take us seriously. After rescuing her this time, I wonder if she's still arrogant."
"If it weren't for the order from above, I really wouldn't want to save her! Forget it, let's go into the city first and find Han Ming as soon as possible."
