Chapter 12: Am I Too Weak? Or is the puppet too strong?
"What a mistake could lead to the abandonment of this place?"
To the extent of being abandoned, all you can think of is that it is similar to the plague and nuclear explosion on the other side of the earth.
"The person in charge of training was in too much of a hurry, the training plan went wrong, and dozens of potential recruits died in Rainbow Village. Later, the king ordered that the place be sealed. And the person in charge was imprisoned forever because he was jointly signed by the whole island,"
I don't know why, Qingyu listened to Axius's voice and felt that she was a little sad.
"You come with me."
Atheus beckoned to Qingyu and led him to the other side of the stone mountain. There is a large stone gate here, and although the surface is covered with vines, the outline of the stone gate can still be faintly seen.
"There's a formation up there?"
Qingyou noticed that there was a formation on the stone gate, and pulled the vines covering it with his hand, revealing some regular lines.
"Well, it's the formation that sealed this back then."
Saying that, a sword in Axius's hand appeared out of thin air, and he waved a few swords in the air at will, and in an instant, many neat cuts appeared on the vines, and the vines on the surface of the stone gate lost their attachment to their targets and fell to the ground, revealing a complete formation.
Atheus swept the dust from the surface and probed the formation, his eyes full of nostalgia.
"So how do we get in? We went in, will the equipment still work? ”
It's similar to Earth's gym, with a variety of training equipment and terrain.
"Back then, I was one of the people who sealed this, and I deliberately left a flaw, and one person can also unlock the formation and enter it. As for whether the equipment inside can be used, I guess it is, at that time, the gate was directly sealed, and the equipment was not destroyed. ”
As he spoke, Atheus pressed one hand on the formation of the stone gate, urging the spiritual energy, and tried to open the stone gate.
The spiritual energy of the holy light slowly flowed along the lines of the formation like a liquid, gradually covering the entire formation patterns.
"This is the legendary Guardian Thief?"
Qing Yu quipped.
"I stole your head, such a good place, and it was sealed so permanently, it feels a bit of a pity, so I kept a hand."
A flash of light flashed on the array, and Atheus turned his head sharply and patted Qingyu's head.
"It hurts, can the instructor not hit the head in the future, my mother said that if you fight too much, you will become stupid."
Qingyou touched her head and frowned, her expression was very pitiful, as if it was really painful.
"If you pretend again, I'll seal you here, and don't call me instructor, it sounds too old, you can call me Xiu in the future."
Atheus said viciously, and after saying that, Atheus turned back and continued to break the seal of the stone gate.
"Uncomfortable, shiitake mushrooms."
Qingyou muttered aggrievedly.
"Don't talk, you're too noisy."
Atheus disliked the tunnel, and under the operation of Axius, the formation on the stone door continued to flicker,
Actually, Qingyou has already sensed that something is wrong with Axius, since she just arrived here, Axius's expression has changed, she seems to have an unknown story with this place, Qingyou has been looking for opportunities to divert Axius's attention, joke with her, make her happy, and focus on Qingxiu himself, so that Axius will not be too sad.
In this way, Qing quietly watched as Atheus lifted the seal of the Rainbow Village, and after ten minutes passed, the mountain shook violently.
"Damn, there's an earthquake. Boss Xiu, let's hurry up, if we stay here, we will be stoned to death by this mountain. ”
Qing Yu exaggeratedly said, and his face did not forget to show a look of horror.
"Don't move, the door is open."
Atheus shouted, motioning for Qingyu not to panic.
Qingyou was very helpless, and he teased him from time to time before, but now he is so serious, he doesn't mean to joke with him at all.
"Boom~~~" With a loud bang, the stone door opened.
After the door opened, the first thing Qingyu saw was a stone tablet: "In memory of the adventurer who died." ”
"Is this stele a memorial to the people who died that year?" Qingyou took the lead and carefully observed the stone tablet.
Fang Qingyou patted the stele lightly and found that dust had fallen, and behind the dust, there were some words that were covered up, which were the names of some people: Allen, Kyle, Chesler......
"Don't look at it, come in with me."
Atheus glanced at the stele, his gaze evading it, and then interrupted the silence that he was looking around, and ordered.
When I got to the cave, it was a very open place, but there was nothing in it, and I couldn't help but wonder, isn't this just an open space? How is it a training ground?
"Are you ready, if you are ready, start training."
Atheus looked around for a week, and after making sure that there was no problem, he asked quietly.
"Wait, is it so sloppy, this place has been useless for so long, don't you check if the equipment is broken first?"
There are thousands of grass and mud horses galloping in Qingyou's heart, isn't this a special way to let yourself be a white mouse, first there has been a problem here, who knows if there will be a problem again; Second, if I haven't used it for ten years, can the equipment still work? It's all about gambling with your life.
"Less nonsense, bring the ring, and get ready to take it."
As he spoke, Atheus took an extra ring on his hand and handed it to Qingyu.
"I don't."
But Qingyou didn't pick it up, resisted, resisted by the heart. Qingyou doesn't want to gamble, he doesn't like to gamble, let alone gamble.
"I'll bring it for you."
Atheus was speechless, and finally took matters into his own hands, and under the ability of Atheus, Qingyu was firmly locked, and he was obediently brought to the ring by Atheus.
"Forget it, since I can't resist, I'll enjoy it."
The ring was brought, and Qing Yu suddenly stopped resisting, what was going to come was still coming, and Atheus was sure that there was no problem, in fact, it was okay.
"Why do I feel the urge to hit you?"
As he spoke, Atheus raised his hand and pretended to pat it.
"Wait, you're in the training program too?"
Qingyou hurriedly stopped, he didn't want to fight with Atheus.
"Forget it, the puppet is here, you're ready to take it."
Atheus hurriedly ran to the side, leaving the clearing to be quiet.
After a while, next to the clearing, the stone door on one side opened, and a puppet came out.
"Come on! Come and get beaten. ”
Qing Yu immediately got serious, summoned his shield, and entered the battle state.
The puppet's dead fish eyes have been staring at Qingyu, it looks very much like a real person, if it hadn't learned in advance that it was a puppet, Qingyou would really think it was a living person.
Qingyou planned to wait for the puppet to strike first, but the puppet was unmoved and stood quietly. After dozens of seconds, the puppet was still standing, and it was not until a minute later that Qing Yu couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead.
"Shield Impact."
Holding a shield in his left hand and supporting the shield guard in his right hand, his steps are getting faster and faster, and Qing Yu intends to hit the puppet through the impact generated by the rapid movement.
The puppet's face was expressionless, and at the moment when Qingyu collided, its thick wooden arms got up, and its palms pressed on the shield, and it jumped in relay, easily jumped over Qingyou, turned over behind him, and gently kicked Qingyou.
The other party didn't carry it hard, and chose to use the force to fight back, this kick caught Qingyou off guard, because he didn't control his footsteps, Qingyou crashed into the ground, threw a dog to eat, and slid for a distance, if it weren't for the shield separating the ground and Qingyou's body, Qingyou would definitely be injured by friction.
Atheus, who was watching from the sidelines, didn't speak, but watched quietly, and when he saw that Qingyu was broken, Axius couldn't help but shake his head.
This fall, Qingyou was a little uncomfortable, slowly propped himself up, set up his shield, turned to look at the puppet, and stared at the puppet quietly, as if to see through it.
After a while, Qing Yu moved, a few arrow steps, trying to change his position, and then looking for a breakthrough point to attack the puppet.
When the tranquility began to move, the puppet also began to move, always looking at the tranquility, and the distance between the two was perfectly maintained in a stable range.
In fact, Qingyou is not very good at this kind of active attack, in the past, on the earth, it was basically someone else who did it first, and then found the opponent's flaws in an instant and defeated the opponent.
And now this puppet seems to work on a similar principle to his own play, to be quiet and take the initiative to attract the puppet to act.
In a few moments, Qingyou approached the puppet and tried to attack the puppet with a shield as a weapon, but unfortunately it was blocked, and the other party seemed to have a lot of strength, and he blocked it as soon as he blocked it, and he was very stable, and his hands were not shaking.
After a few failed attacks, Qing Yu stopped, and now he was completely sure of the other party's action principle, it was a passive type, the other party was a typical physical attack opponent, it could almost be said to be immune to physical attacks, and it seemed to be very flexible.
But Qingyou knows from the opponent's defensive dodging actions that it comes and goes just a few routines, very basic skills, but all his actions are mastered by the other party, and his strength is not comparable to that of a puppet, so Qingyou will always be suppressed.
Qingyou is very uncomfortable, but it's a pity that his other three soul beads haven't recovered, otherwise he can use his ability to attack.
If you have retained the skill soul bead, it will be easier to defeat it, and it is such a passive type, which can be directly suppressed and defeated by firepower.
Now there is a very serious problem, after fighting for a while, Qingyu has not found the flaws of the other party, and the puppet's defense skills are superb, and it is impossible to defeat him in a short time.
And the energy of tranquility is not only consumed on offense, but also used to avoid and defend against the opponent's attacks. If the puppet's energy is infinite or a lot, Qingjing, as a Level 0 adventurer, can't consume the puppet at all.
As the battle continues, the tranquility gradually weakens, and then the physical strength is exhausted and defeated.
"Give up, I didn't expect your physical strength to be so poor, take off the ring."
Atheus couldn't see it, Qingyu was too weak, his physique was too poor, and his combat skills couldn't make up for it.
Qing Yu listened to the order, took off the ring, and the puppet instantly lost the momentum it had just fought, and then retreated to the hole it had just come out of, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
"Instructor, am I too weak? Or is the puppet too strong? ”
