Although Xuandu did not gain control of the wooden house like Kunpeng and Ye Zhen, he obtained another more useful piece of information: the rules of the other wooden houses.
"According to the ghost mother, the wooden house they are in is the lowest level, and the rules are relatively simple. The larger the wooden house, the more complex the rules are, and the stronger the monsters inside are!"
"For example, 500 meters to the right after they come out of their wooden house, there is a larger wooden house with a convenience store inside. People who go in need to survive for three days as a store clerk and sell at least three items."
"In terms of the complexity and difficulty of the rules alone, it's several times more complex than even the smallest wooden cabin!"
Upon hearing Xuan Du's words, the two showed delight. Ye Zhen immediately asked, "Did she mention where the wooden house controlling the floating island is? And what are the rules inside?"
To everyone's surprise, Xuandu shook his head. "Their level is too low. They can only know about the slightly larger wooden houses, and the number is limited. If we want to know where the wooden houses that control the floating islands are, we'll have to search in the largest ones!"
"Boom!" Just then, a deafening roar rang out from the floating island, a wooden house shattered in response, and a gigantic Candle Dragon soared into the air, its terrifying impact forcing the group to retreat.
"Damn! He just flipped the table?" Kunpeng exclaimed in surprise. Clearly, Zhulong had no patience to continue playing around and used his powerful strength to smash the entire wooden house to pieces.
"How are you all?" The violent aura dissipated, and Zhulong transformed into human form and appeared beside everyone, looking calm, as if he had just casually swatted a few mosquitoes!
"Us? Great! What's this?" Kunpeng replied blankly.
"Oh, that's too much trouble. I just rewrote the rules for him!" Zhulong said casually, his cold gaze sweeping over Kunpeng, making him shiver involuntarily.
Soon, the remaining people also came out of the wooden house one after another. This was only the smallest wooden house, and the rules inside could not stump them. Even if they really couldn't, it didn't matter. Their strength was enough to break the rules.
After everyone came out, they exchanged a few words and looked at Xuandu and Ye Zhen with astonishment. This way of passing the level was something that no one had expected.
“So, our next step is to find the rules in the largest wooden houses and then decipher them!” A young woman with a full head of white hair said. She was Bai Ze, a divine beast and the strategist of the Demon Emperor’s Palace. Her wisdom was renowned throughout the Primordial Star, which is why she was brought here by Zhulong.
"Speaking of which, can't we just let Ye Zhen go directly? Maybe he'll give her the wooden house like that butcher did?" Kunpeng asked doubtfully, which earned him a chorus of eye rolls from the crowd.
"What are you dreaming about? If I had that ability, I'd be the first to send Kunpeng in to scout ahead!" Ye Zhen rolled her eyes and leaned against Bai Ze, feeling completely boneless. The scent of this auspicious beast was just so pleasant!
“The larger the wooden house, the more complex the rules inside. It’s probably impossible to do it the way we did before. Even if the Evil Beast can really trick us into coming to the wooden house, the rules don’t allow it, and we can’t really gain control!” Xuan Du explained.
"One more question, how many people can enter the large wooden house at a time?" asked the great mage Lynn. He was the most prestigious headmaster in the City of Hope, whose wisdom and experience far surpassed those of ordinary people!
"That's uncertain. The number of people who can enter the cabins at any one time varies depending on the size of the cabin. It's said that the largest cabins can accommodate hundreds of people at once, but the more people there are, the more difficult the missions become!" Xuan Du replied.
He gleaned all of this from the wooden house, but unfortunately, the mother and child ghosts were of too low a level and knew too little about the situation inside the large wooden house.
"Actually, I suggest that everyone form a team first and enter the slightly smaller wooden house to see if they can find out what's going on inside the larger wooden house. If they succeed, they'll know what the rules are inside the larger wooden house. Even if they fail, with our strength, we should be able to barely get out!" Xuandu suggested.
“I think this suggestion is good, and it’s the best approach right now!” Bai Ze immediately nodded in agreement, and then Lynn and the others also nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone had agreed, the others had no reason to hesitate and immediately decided to proceed with the plan. Zhulong was responsible for protecting everyone's safety and would lead them away immediately if anyone violated the rules.
There's nothing we can do; out of so many people, he was the only one who couldn't follow the rules and instead broke them by force.
After all, it was once a giant dragon, violent and impulsive. Even after spending so long in Fengdu City and becoming the Zhulong for over a thousand years, some of its habits were still hard to change.
"As for choosing that cabin, I just took a quick look and there are two options. There are large cabins nearby, so there's a very high probability of getting information from them!" After finalizing the plan, Bai Ze pointed to the two locations on the floating island and said.
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and there were two large wooden houses. Not far from them, there was a larger wooden house standing in each of them. If they could really find out the strange things in these wooden houses, then there was a great chance that they could find out the news in the largest wooden house.
"That one will do!" Ye Zhen said, pointing to a wooden house. There wasn't much to choose from; from the outside, they were almost indistinguishable except for size. It was all down to luck!
"Let's go then! But nobody knows what's going on inside, so everyone must be careful. And unless absolutely necessary, I won't forcibly break the rules and destroy this wooden house!" Zhulong nodded and gave everyone his instructions.
"Can I not go?" Kunpeng asked weakly.
"Since everyone is okay, let's go!" Zhulong looked at everyone, and the group flew towards the wooden house one after another, leaving Kunpeng alone in the wind, bewildered.
As everyone emerged from the wooden huts, a message about the floating island was delivered to Ye Chen. He was astonished to hear about their experiences in the huts. He hadn't expected such amazing tools from the dark civilization. Each of these huts sounded like a strange little mission.
"A strange occurrence? I messed up this strange world?" Ye Chen stroked his chin, filled with curiosity about the eerie wooden house, especially Kunpeng's Dragon-Tiger Power Pill and Xuandu's Analects.
"I really didn't expect that the strongest Zhulong would have to resort to brute force in the end? It seems that Oros still has a significant influence on him!" Ye Chen couldn't help but chuckle as he thought of Zhulong's probably darkened face.
