Dragon Bone Mountains map puzzle
[Cross-volume navigation of Elemental Crystal]
At three quarters past four, Xiaodou's subdimensional stomach suddenly vibrated, and he vomited out a fusion of the elemental crystal from the Western Fantasy chapter and the fragments of the Dragon Scale map from the Martial Arts chapter. The crystal hovered in the air, projecting a three-dimensional projection of the Dragon Bone Mountains. The golden light of the "Lin Family Blood Pact Altar" gleamed between the crevices of the mountains.
"Is this... guidance from No. 001?" The tips of the Royal Cat's mechanical ears glowed red, and the number "L·S·002" on the inside of its collar resonated with the projection. "The Dragon Bone Mountains are in the Western Fantasy, but we need a cross-volume portal."
【School Prince's cross-volume support】
The Campus Prince (No. 005) suddenly burst into the City God Temple, holding a folding portal from the Star Wars chapter in his hand: "I just received a message from No. 003 (Snowball), the elemental storm from the Western Fantasy chapter is engulfing the altar, you must set off immediately!"
When the portal opened, Xiaodou saw the back of Lin Shen from the modern story flash through the door. He was bandaging the wound of a mechanical mouse (a foreshadowing of the cyberpunk story).
【Funny accident of cross-volume transmission】
Xiaodou leaps into the portal, holding the elemental crystal in her mouth, only to be caught by the Royal Cat's tail. The portal suddenly malfunctions, and the two are transported to the men's restroom in the campus arc. The Royal Cat steps on the toilet lid, furious: "Is this what you call 'precision teleportation'?!"
School hunk (communicator noise): "Sorry! The portal accidentally touched the random map card of the game chapter..." Before he finished speaking, the portal started again and threw them into the pile of zombies in the apocalypse chapter.
【Cross-roll props in the zombie pile】
"Squeak! (So much moving jerky meat!)" Xiaodou gnawed on the zombie's metal prosthetic limbs, and his subspace stomach spewed out gear parts from the steampunk chapter, assembling a mechanical mouse chariot. The royal cat jumped onto the chariot, using the talisman paper from the Xiuxian chapter as fuel: "Hold on tight, we're going to fight our way out!"
The chariot roared and rolled over the zombies, but when it broke open the supermarket door, the food coupons from the 1960s (a foreshadowing in the third volume) on the shelf suddenly flew up, resonating with Xiaodou's gear runes, revealing the words "Lin Shen = 001".
[Crisis at the Entrance to Dragon Bone Mountains]
The third teleportation finally succeeded, and Xiaodou and the Royal Cat landed at the foot of the Dragon Bone Mountains. The mountain gate before them was entangled in vines and tentacles from the Cthulhu arc. Hanging from these vines were fragments of marriage certificates from various worlds, each one bearing the signature of "Lin Shen."
"Be careful!" The Royal Cat pinned Xiaodou down with its paws, and the tentacles suddenly unleashed a cyberpunk-style laser beam. Xiaodou gnawed through the vines, triggering a mechanism that caused a crack in the mountain, revealing the "Lin Family Blood Pact Altar" within. A mechanical heart hovered in the center of the altar, with "L·S·001" engraved on its surface.
The Ultimate Trap of the Remnants of Grand Tutor Zhao
The leader of Grand Tutor Zhao's remaining followers stepped out from the shadows, clutching a "Concept Rat Hunting Gun" fused with tentacles and gears. "Do you think you can break the blood pact? Lin Shen long ago exchanged the Concept Rat Clan's freedom for his own immortality!"
The gun shot out black sweet energy (a product of the Heavenly Dao Furnace), and Xiaodou's treasure-stealing rat form suddenly went out of control, and his subspace stomach frantically devoured the surrounding rocks - the rocks were embedded with cross-volume items such as Bai Yan's fox fur from the Demon World chapter and the energy crystal from the Interstellar chapter.
[The Royal Cat's Guardian Instinct]
"Xiaodou! Use your tail diary!" The Royal Cat flung out a beeswax chain from the ancient story of the house fight, strung with the marriage stones of various worlds (a foreshadowing of Volume 7). Xiaodou suddenly realized something, dipped her tail in the anti-hair-shedding spray from the school chapter (specially provided by Snowball), and wrote in the air:
"Lin Shen will never betray. His sweetness is the shape of freedom!"
The sweet energy was instantly purified, transforming into a rainbow-colored rain of nuts, sending the remaining enemies fleeing in panic. The mechanical heart suddenly resonated, projecting Lin Shen's smile: "002, Xiaodou, thank you... for believing in me."
[End-of-Chapter Hook and Cross-Volume Linkage]
- Hook 1:
The "Guardian Badge No. 001" fell out of the crack in the mechanical heart. The badge merged with the Royal Cat's collar, revealing the words "Lin Shen, First of the Guardian Sequence";
- Hook 2:
From the depths of the mountains came the roar of a Western fantasy metal dragon, interspersed with the alarm of a mechanical cat: "The Concept Rat King's energy fluctuations are abnormal, activate emergency protocol!"
- Hook 3:
The rune on Xiaodou's claw heart lit up with the eighth glimmer of light, which combined with the "001" number of the mechanical heart to form "001+8=9", hinting at the opening of the ninth volume of the Western Fantasy Chapter.
【Funny scenes】
- The Royal Cat wrapped Xiaodou in the hero's cloak from the martial arts chapter, but it was blown by the wind into a quantum flag from the interstellar chapter, fluttering in the elemental storm;
- When the remaining leader was escaping, he stepped on the trap card from the game chapter and turned into a hen that lays eggs. Xiaodou took the opportunity to eat the eggs and spit out the pine rat cub from the fairy tale chapter.
