Volume 2: Red Sands Adventure Chapter 57: Dismantling the Puppet
Xu Kelai's cultivation progress was delayed by the newly taken puppet again.
Due to the space in the ring, these four golems cannot be repaired automatically without aura.
Xu Kelai deliberately selected a Xuanwu puppet with the strongest defense, in order to give Tian Mao a better chance of survival after entering the fourth layer.
The moment the puppet was taken out of the ring, the light on the Xuanwu-shaped figure on the chest flashed, and it was obvious that the repaired formation began to work. In other words, there is not a lot of time left for Xu Ke to study. Once the puppet is repaired, it will be completely "brought back to life".
Tian Mao squatted aside, looking at Xu Kelai with a solemn face.
Xu Kelai carefully observed every part of the puppet.
"It's so well made, it's basically a perfect fit. At that time, I don't know who the master who composed this puppet was. Xu Kelai praised from the bottom of his heart.
When Tian Mao heard this, did this mean anything?
He asked, "Is there any way to take him apart?"
Xu Kelai didn't answer in a hurry, and continued to ponder for a while and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem, after all, there is no spiritual qi circulation, and there is only a dead thing left." I'll first remove the formation of the chest, so that he can't repair it automatically, then we will have more time. ”
Tian Maoru was relieved: "That's good! That's good! I don't know who makes up this puppet, why don't you make such a key central formation a little more hidden, and make it so easy to find." And what about the damage we did on it? Why not. ”
Xu Ke said: "Maybe it's this master's self-confidence." As for the damage you mentioned, because this extraterritorial dark iron itself also has the ability to repair, and it has already been repaired. ”
After finishing speaking, Xu Kelai lay on the puppet's chest and carefully stroked the surface, little by little, the movement was very slow. He's feeling where the gap is.
Tian Mao couldn't help, so he could only do it in a hurry on the sidelines, and he didn't even dare to disturb. Just wait for Xu Kelai to move carefully and slowly.
After a while, Xu Kelai's movements became slower and slower, and he touched the same place several times, then moved his head closer and looked at it seriously for a while.
"Come~come~ Tian Mao, come and see. "Xu Kelai called Tian Mao, he should have found something.
Tian Mao climbed onto the puppet's body in two clicks, leaning his head to look at Xu Kelai's fingers.
Xu Kelai said to Tian Mao: "Look." If you see it or not, this is the gap in the joint. ”
Tian Mao lay his head on his stomach, but he couldn't see it.
"I can't see it!"
"You feel it with your hands. ”
Tian Mao put his hand on it, learning how Xu Kelai felt it.
A slightly uneven feeling, a small feeling, and you can't feel it if you don't pay attention to it.
"So what are you waiting for?
"What screwdriver?"
Tian Mao: .........
I saw Xu Kelai take out a scalpel-shaped utensil from the ring. Tian Mao saw that Xu Kelai had used it, and it was the carving knife he used when carving runes.
The carving knife is thin and sharp, and there are a few runes on the blade. The function of these runes is to better guide and transmit aura, and improve the success rate of engraving. The blade is made of very hard black iron.
Even such a carving knife could not leave a trace on this Xuanwu puppet. It can be seen how strong the material of this puppet is Extraterritorial Dark Iron.
Xu Kelai controlled the carving knife and slowly swiped according to the concave and convex feeling he had just touched, and the movement was very slow.
With the scratching of the carving knife, although no change can be seen on the surface, in fact, the part that the carving knife has cut is more prominent when it is not scratched with the carving knife.
However, there is progress, and the color of the basalt pattern does not darken quickly.
Anxious emotions welled up in the hearts of the two. Xu Kelai's face was sweating, and he consumed a lot of spiritual power and soul power. Tian Mao's movements were almost rubbing his hands, and his thighs shook quickly.
The Xuanwu puppet's eyes flickered and disappeared, and Xu Kelai's progress was only to make the parts of the puppet's chest slightly protrude. If this continues, after the Xuanwu puppet is resurrected, he will not be able to peel off the iron armor on his chest.
Tian Mao didn't want to fight this big guy again. The psychological impact left on Tian Mao when he entered the Demon Cliff is still there.
"Master, get out of the way. Tian Mao pulled Xu Kelai down. Then use all your strength to turn the puppet over.
After flipping over the puppet's body, the puppet's hands are moved so that it supports its entire body with its hand joints. It looks like this puppet is doing a plank.
"Get out of the way. Tian Mao began to exert his strength, and at the same time warned Xu Kelai.
"Bell!" Tian Mao punched the puppet in the back. The protruding part on the front protrudes a little more.
"Bell!" Tian Mao took a few steps back, ran to the puppet, and when he was about to reach the puppet's place, he jumped up and smashed it again.
The puppet's hands were almost sunk into the sand. The area on the chest has been exposed for a long time.
Xu Kelai ran over and stopped Tian Mao's third punch. He slashed the knife in his hand at the bulge again. A piece of iron about ten centimeters thick and the size of a helmet fell to the ground.
"Quick! Turn it over!"
When Tian Mao heard this, he turned the puppet over.
The flipped puppet was facing upwards with a large black hole in its chest. And the red light in his eyes is getting brighter and brighter, and his fingers are shaking irregularly. It's about to come back to life.
"It's still too late!" Xu Kelai sweated on his forehead, and immediately climbed onto the puppet, and then regardless of whether there was danger in the hole, he directly put his hand into the puppet's body.
The moment the hand reached in, all the movements on the puppet's body suddenly stopped, and the red light in his eyes slowly dissipated.
Tian Mao also climbed onto the puppet.
Xu Kelai slowly stretched out his hand from the puppet, holding a milky white stone in his hand.
"The Ground Formation Stone. Xu Kelai said in surprise.
"Then take out all these array stones!" Tian Mao said and stretched out his hands and feet inside.
"Don't panic!" Xu Kelai grabbed Tian Mao's hand at once. And said:
"There are many formations in it. You can't just destroy it like this, and I won't take out the array stone until I've copied it again. ”
Tian Mao withdrew his hand and agreed to Xu Kelai's request, anyway, this puppet can't wake up now, and he has time.
Through the light that penetrated through this hole in their chests, they saw the innumerable array of stones, large and small, densely packed. And there are a lot of interlaced silk threads.
"It's 10,000-year-old ice silk, which is used to control the movement of this puppet's joints. Xu Kelai explained.
Every few formations form a formation, and one formation is set on the other. This can be seen through the hole in the chest. There must be countless formations in other parts.
"There are so many formations, it's really complicated!" Xu Kelai said with emotion. Eyes glow.
Tian Mao was not interested in these formations, and because he didn't have aura, he couldn't drive any of the moment formation stones at all.
"You can study it slowly by yourself!" Tian Mao finished speaking, and turned over the puppet. The rest is to wait for Xu Ke to finish researching, take out the array stone inside, and he will start the next step in this puppet.
Time continued to pass, and Xu Kelai lay on the puppet for more than a month to study. During this period, he took out a pen and paper to sketch and draw, or with a sad face, or suddenly realized. Tian Mao looked at Xu Kelai, who was so serious, and couldn't bear to disturb him. I can only suppress the anxiety in my heart.
Later, when Xu Kelai had studied the formation on his chest about the same, he began to use his hands to take out the formation stones that were stuck to the inner wall of the puppet like magnets, and also took out some gear-like parts made of special metals.
"It seems that I want another formation master. Xu Kelai muttered.
Since a piece has already been dropped, it is easier to disassemble the later part. With a little force, it was dismantled along the vacant place and around it.
But when he dismantled some formation shapes that he hadn't seen in other parts, he would pause his movements, continue to ponder for a day or two, and move on to the next step.
After several stacks of paper he copied, the originally mighty Xuanwu puppet on the ground had turned into several pieces of iron of different sizes and several frames.
"Can you fight it back?"
I care about whether I can assemble it again so that I can get into it.
Xu Kelai replied with great confidence: "Of course, I made a mark on each piece."
"That's good! That's good!" Tian Mao said hesitantly.
He has already imagined that he has become an armored warrior, like a hero hidden in the world, once he encounters an unsolvable danger in this world, he will become this armored warrior and appear in front of people's eyes, save the world, or like Iron Man, pull the wind.
"Quick, quick, quick! Let me put it on and try it out. Tian Mao couldn't wait to urge.
"Okay! ”
So Tian Mao opened his arms and waited for Xu Kelai to come up from under his feet one by one.
Xu Kelai saw that Tian Mao had already prepared the posture, so he began to assemble it from the soles of his feet in the order in which he had made the marks.
The movement is very slow! One piece of iron is not as simple as building a wall with bricks, each piece of iron has to be divided into directions, and the next step can only be carried out after the previous piece is placed. Rather than a combination, it is better to describe it as a puzzle.
Tian Mao had an excited expression on his face, and from time to time he looked down at Xu Kelai's movements, and after reading it, he continued to open his arms and turned into an expression full of expectation.
"There's one thing we didn't expect!" Xu Kelai said suddenly.
Tian Mao was startled, lowered his head and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?" ”
