Chapter 387 Good and Bad Methods
"Since the prince didn't seem too angry about the rat today, we'll trigger the magic circle again tomorrow," Xiao Yu said. "Until the prince can no longer tolerate it and doesn't come over because of the rat, then we can attack him ourselves."
"You mean, challenge its bottom line?" Xu Chuchu was stunned.
This method is really good...bad.
"Yes, today it rushed here immediately because of the rats, which means it can't tell whether the intruder is a human or a rat, how many people and rats there are, or how long the humans and rats have been there." Xiao Yu said, "We just need to find a loophole."
"Okay." Xu Chuchu felt like she had turned into a mouse.
Both of them quickly acquiesced to the plan.
As for how to break through the magic circle, both of them had their own ideas, and they did not tell each other.
At noon the next day, Xiao Yu threw out the second mouse. Just like the first time, the mouse was soon killed by the magic circle.
The speed at which Prince Long arrived was obviously much slower than the second time.
This time he didn't even untie the magic circle. He just looked at the mouse's corpse from a distance outside, snorted, and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Then that night, Xiao Yu caught a third mouse.
"Won't it become suspicious? Maybe it will do a big cleanup and clean us out as well." Xu Chuchu was a little worried.
Xiao Yu smiled confidently, "Do you think it's the dragon that does these chores itself? If it wants to clean the secret room, it will definitely assign its little dragons to do it, and then add, 'If there are any more rats, you'll be the ones to blame.' So we just need to avoid those little dragons. Maybe Doudou will cover for us, so we'll be fine."
Xu Chuchu was amused by his tone, but she also knew that Xiao Yu was always very confident in controlling people's hearts.
Sure enough, the third time, Prince Long came even slower.
And this time it seemed to be busy with something and was interrupted by the mouse. It was so angry that it almost burned the entire secret room with a breath of dragon fire.
"How come there are so many rats out of nowhere? Clear out all the rats in the secret room today. If anyone touches the magic circle next time, you will be held accountable!"
It was exactly as Xiao Yu had expected.
It did not suspect that someone had deliberately released the mouse there, and it was probably confident that no one could easily enter the secret room.
Or rather, I didn't expect someone to use such a low-level trick.
After the Dragon Prince left angrily, the other little dragons gathered together and discussed worriedly how to get rid of the rats.
Youlong said to sweep with a broom.
Youlong said that the broom couldn't sweep it clean, so he said to burn it with fire and all the dirt would come out after a while.
"Oh, none of your methods work!" Doudou squeezed forward.
"What can our Doudou do!" The other dragons seemed to look down on it and stood opposite it.
Doudou said seriously, "We need rat poison invented by humans! Rat poison will kill any rat that comes into contact with it! Just put rat poison in every corner of the secret room."
None of the dragons had ever heard of rat poison, but seeing Doudou's serious expression, they actually held out some hope.
"Then you go to the human world to buy rat poison?" They pushed the trouble to Doudou.
"Sure. Leave it to me." Doudou agreed immediately. "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
The dragons laughed at him again: "It seems you just want to go to the human world to play."
They had already thought it through. If the rat poison didn't work, they would put the blame on Doudou, because after all, it was Doudou who promised it would work.
When walking out, Doudou was at the back. It turned around and faced the place where Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu were hiding, then made an angry expression, blaming them for coming in and causing so much trouble.
Of course, there was another meaning as well, urging them to hurry up, at least before it bought back the rat poison.
Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu didn't want to implicate it, so they kept listening to the noise outside. They only took action after confirming that the shift had been handed over and Doudou had left his post.
"Let's begin." Xu Chuchu spoke first, "I'll break the magic circle. You keep an eye on the surroundings for me. If any other mechanisms are triggered, remember to take cover. Also, alert me if a dragon breaks in from outside."
"Okay." Xiao Yu agreed quickly.
Xu Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief. This time, Xiao Yu did not compete with her to do anything risky, which she would never have dared to think about before.
She stood beside the flowing golden threads, watching their changes, and when she got a chance, she quickly hooked one with her little finger.
Then he quickly hooked all the golden threads in front of him and wrapped them around his fingers and palms.
Because the energy on the golden threads was constantly changing, Xu Chuchu could only pull the few that had just been broken in his hands, forcibly fix them with spiritual power, and then look for other ones that changed accordingly.
Because the golden threads cannot cross at will, she has to flip over them in mid-air after finding the corresponding golden thread, and she has to be very careful with every step.
If possible, Xu Chuchu would like to stop and think slowly about every step, but there is no such opportunity.
The moment she touched the golden thread, the Dragon King and the Dragon Prince knew someone had broken in.
The Dragon King is making his armor and should not show up. He will arrange for the Dragon Prince to come.
This time, the Dragon Prince did not appear immediately. He probably thought that it was another rat causing trouble, or that other dragons had disturbed the magic circle while cleaning up the rats.
But it could also appear at any time.
The number of gold threads became smaller and smaller, and Xu Chuchu's calculation load became much smaller.
Her palms were now wrapped in gold threads, burning and causing her palms to ache.
"Ayu! Cangyun Sword!" she shouted to Xiao Yu.
"Here it comes!" Xiao Yu immediately drew his sword and saw her intention at a glance. He held the sword upright, took the golden thread from Xu Chuchu, and put it on the sword.
The Cang Yun Sword can split mountains. Its toughness far exceeds that of a human's soft palm, so it can be used for fixing.
After being fixed, they can enter and exit other places at will, because as long as they do not touch the area covered by the golden wire, they will think nothing has happened and will not launch an attack.
Seeing that Xiao Yu had calmed down, Xu Chuchu walked to the outermost side again, imitating the strange steps of Prince Long the day before, and walked towards the dark green brocade box.
One step, two steps... With every step, a square golden block will appear on the ground.
Obviously, if you take a wrong step, you will trigger an unknown mechanism.
The most annoying thing is that there is no square mark on the ground at all. It only appears when you walk on it, so even if you only show one extra toe, you may make a mistake.
Fortunately, Xu Chuchu's memory also improved a lot along with her cultivation, and she finally stood safely next to the dark green brocade box.
Perhaps this is the most difficult part.
She quickly checked the energy flow around her to see how many ambushes there were.
Boxes, chests, and coffins are the most difficult objects to crack because of the enclosed spaces.
In addition to the most basic magic circles, there may also be hidden weapons, poison gas, and even curses, so you must be extremely careful.
...But after looking for a long time, she didn't gain anything.
