Chapter Seventy-Two: The Box of Cybertron

"What? You can catch your breath first! Zhou Yu squatted under the magic box, holding a straw stick in his mouth. It looked like a person.

I said, "We promise." If you can open the box, the Centaur Department will be at your beckon. As long as we don't hurt the heavens and reason, and don't blaspheme the god of the grassland, we will only look forward to you. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you are the head of a horse, and I am the head of a man." Zhou Yu took a bite of him, and a grass root that was chewed flat and full of saliva blew onto Fiskel's neck. The man didn't annoy him either, hehe smirked.

"You let me out first, and I'll explain." Zhou Yu said, telling Lao Fei in a commanding tone.

"Okay, okay, if the hero lacks any tools or things, just ask. As long as we have it, we will give it all with both hands. Zhou Yu looked at his raised hands, which had been holding a rattle in his hand, and thought to himself, You can only use both hands, this two-handed and four-legged creature, how awkward it looks!

"Xerxes, there's an emergency here, I have to deal with it first. Listen to my command, if we succeed, we will all be happy, and we will be able to get out of the way. If it fails, look at my signal. As long as a fire breaks out in the stockade, immediately lead the team to break through. Don't venture into the hinterland, retreat back to Bruno Castle, and then think about the future. Got it? Zhou Yu said a few words and arranged the task.

"What about you? What do you do? Xerxes heard that if this failure was the meaning of a fish to the death and a desperate fight, he could still open a bloody road outside the stockade, but there was almost no chance that the life in the stockade would survive.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, it's quite a big man, how can you have so many worries. If I die, you can erect a monument for me, burn some paper money for me during the New Year's holidays, and put two bottles of good wine! Remember! With that, Zhou Yu picked out more than 20 strong slave soldiers and hurriedly returned to the stockade with him.

"Lao Fei, I have to use my own people to open the magic box. Your body, I don't think it's easy to cooperate, the body is upright but the stomach and buttocks are horizontal, and there are too few people who can stand in the unit area, so it's not easy to work together. Fiskel didn't understand what he meant, but since he had promised to lift the seal, it was up to him. Sure enough, no matter where they are, there are many quirks for people who have the ability.

"Marsha, you take five people to stand in the first row and come to see my gestures. Underneath this block. ”

"Huh? Lao Fei, it's not tall enough. Lay some boards or steles underneath to put up my people. Zhou Yu hurriedly commanded backwards and forwards, measuring in circles.

"Okay, okay, right away, right away!"

After a meal of chickens and dogs, people were also raised, and the queue was lined up. Behind Masha, Kazik, and Bambur stood five men each. Everyone had sackcloth wrapped around their hands, which was what Zhou Yu told them, so that they could eat better and hold their strength.

"Lao Fei, I'm ready. It's time to go. ”

Fiskel thought to himself, start with it, right? You told me that it was useless, you invited you to do it, and you don't need to ask me if you mess up the performance.

"Well, let's go!"

"You all stand back! After a while, I will hurt you and have nowhere to buy medicine, this exercise is ancestral and powerful. Zhou Yu made a gesture of dancing the great god while Hu Lele, with one left foot and one right foot, and he still threw his arms on it.

Zhou Yu knew in his heart that the consciousness of these steppe elves was still in the historical stage of nature worship, totem worship and ancestor worship, and there was no scientific and formal system of preaching and teaching to solve doubts. The carrier of the spirit, wisdom, and power of the clan or tribe they believe in needs to be carried by some supernatural behavior, or at least what seems to be it, which must be explained in the vernacular, and it is impossible to understand it from exhaustion.

"One, two, three, four, Naughty rabbit!" Zhou Yu stood five meters in front of him while dancing and throwing the onion song, looking at the Rubik's Cube facing him. This substitution of colors as symbols, he was really a little uncomfortable. It turned out that when I was in the unit, there was a child who had just gone to work who played this every day and taught him mantras. When he was tired of talking, Zhou Yu unconsciously got it, and then turned faster than the kid. The fastest record was completed in one minute and eight seconds.

But this is a huge Rubik's Cube, and it also needs to be manipulated by commanding manpower, so it can't be so easy.

"Red, forward!" Zhou Yu shouted while calculating. He had previously tied two different colored headbands to each person's head, divided into horizontal and vertical hairbands. When horizontally, six people wear white headbands, and when they are vertical, the first two people wearing white headbands will also wear blue headbands, and each person must remember their own color, and then listen to the command to turn the bottom end of the magic box vigorously.

"Blue, backwards!"

After shouting, he ran to the side again.

"Green, forward!"

"Black, forward!"

Up, left, down, left... While recovering the mantra in his heart, Zhou Yu also had to command the eighteen men to keep turning the Rubik's Cube. He was exhausted and panting after running by himself, and the slave soldiers were sweating profusely.

But fortunately, the first signs have been seen.

"Rest! Rest in place for a while! Zhou Yu sat down and wiped his sweat.

"I said Lao Fei, give me some water? It's okay if you don't have white water, Evian or something, we don't pick! Zhou Yu propped his arms behind his back, shaking his neck clockwise, staring at it all the time, and his big neck tendons were straight.

"Well, here, here, we centaurs don't drink water, only this. Heroes and a few wrestlers to try? Fiskel brought a wooden tray with a dozen wooden cups and some clear liquid in it.

Zhou Yu didn't care what it was, he drank it all with his neck up. Damn, I'm not done yet, you won't poison you, right? Unload the mill and kill the donkey, you have to wait for the donkey to finish grinding.

"Hero, oh no, archmage, this figure is spelled out, huh?" Fiskel's horse could not crouch down, and could not fall to the ground side by side with the Grand Duke, so he could only bow down on all four legs, and leaned in close and smiled flatteringly.

"Aang, it's just one side. This σ symbol is spelled out, oops, there are five sides, don't worry. I take a 10-minute break, just 10 minutes, and then I get back to work. What's the matter, why are you in a hurry? A call from the unit? Zhou Yu glared at him and said.

"Oh, no hurry, no hurry, you do it slowly. I'll wait, I'll wait. Fiskel saw the first clue, changed his previous fierce appearance, and crouched to the side.

"Huh? What the hell is this? It's delicious, sweet and refreshing! Zhou Yu smashed his mouth, and controlled the bottom of the wooden cup upwards, but it was gone.

"The archmage likes to drink, and there's more! Come on, bring this lover's tears several times more. Fiskel shouted at the group of horses behind him.

"Lover's tears? Ghost of the horse? You're pretty good at names. ”

"Hehe, the archmage doesn't know. This grassland is rich in all kinds of strange flowers and plants. Lover's grass is one of them, it is said that this grass is divided into male and female, one male and one female have to rely on each other to survive, if one dies the other plant can not live alone. ”

"Oh? Plants still have this, huh? It's so good to evolve! The Governor drained another cup, and the one-eyed man glanced into the cup, and there was indeed not a drop left.

"These saps are the dew drops of the lover's grass, which are left along the stems and leaves every day before the sun rises, and we centaurs plant this grass in large areas, and put a small wooden cup at the base of each grass, and collect it at dawn. Just your sip, I'm afraid you have to drink the yield of hundreds of lover's grass plants in a day. ”

"I'll go! It's too precious. Zhou Yu swept around his mouth with his tongue, obviously swallowing dates just now, but he didn't sing the taste. If I had known that this thing was so rare, pure natural and green without pollution, and it was collected by hand and extremely precious, I wouldn't have drunk it myself. You have to drink it like wine! What the? Drinking red wine is also a posture for beer? You're amazing, kudos to you!

"Then why don't you drink water?"

"Water... Hey, didn't you see that too! The nearby water sources are all occupied by corpse-faced squid, and there is no drinking in it. In addition to those water pools, the closest water source to here is also in the rainforest on Bruno's side, and we, we should not be in the area where the Terrans are active. ”

"Oh, that's okay. It's all easy to do, I'll help you get this ghost fire out in a while, oh no, the grassland fire. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will teach you to dig wells. Good no good? One person is pregnant, and the whole village is pierced. One person digs a well, for the benefit of people! As soon as Zhou Yu's strength came up, he couldn't stop it.

"Okay, let's stop gritting. It's going to be dark again, so let's get started! Zhou Yu slapped his face and found a wooden scoop to buckle on his head, hey, he really regarded himself as an engineer inspecting the construction site.

"RED, backwards. Yes, very good! ”

"BLU, forward. Beautiful, very nice pace! ”

"White team, come and see me, let's go! Twist your waist, you waves! ”

A dozen slave soldiers carrying large bags were stunned, so he commanded the Little Pepper Yangge team.

Fiskeel's eyes were fixed on the hexahedron, more and more symbols coming together, more and more planes forming the same pattern. Sure enough, it came to the last step.

"Archmage, be careful!" Fiskel reminded him later, beads of sweat sliding down his forehead.

"Black team, backwards. Come on, two more steps. Okay, stop! ”

All six sides are complete, and each of the six symbols is on one side. However, the hexahedron is still suspended there, motionless. Zhou Yu frowned, leaned over on tiptoe, and looked up at Marsha's shoulder. Could it be that you are wrong? It's not a Rubik's cube at all, and that's not how it opens? Now it's too big, and you may not be able to eat and walk around.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu secretly stretched out his hand to the fire in his arms. It was not an unintentional move to pick up a wooden scoop and buckle it on his head just now, he secretly put some extra linen turban in the wooden scoop. He had already surveyed the terrain, and in front of him was the warehouse where the centaur tribe stacked hay. If he fails to pick the lock, he will immediately light the turban in the scoop and throw it over, create a fire, and take advantage of the chaos.

As for whether they can escape, how much the centaurs are afraid of the fire of the Terrans is not a matter of their own consideration. He glanced sideways at Fiskel, and saw that his face changed from surprise to confusion to contempt. Quietly took a spear handed over by the attendant next to him and slowly leaned over.

"Click!"

"Click!"

Just when one wanted to run and the other wanted to capture, the cube above the heads of the slave soldiers made the sound of stone breaking, and Zhou Yu watched as the straight lines that distinguished the nine-square grid became thicker and thicker in his eyes, and there was light seeping out from inside.

"Quick, get out of there!" Zhou Yu shouted, and the eighteen slave soldiers jumped up more than a meter high as if they were sitting on a thumbtack, and ran out.

Click, click! The cracking sound grew louder and louder. There was a loud bang, as if a thunderbolt was in his ears, and Zhou Yu hurriedly lowered his head. When he looked up again, the huge cube with a length of three meters on each side shattered into countless small cubes, each of which was separated by an equal distance, but it was still suspended in the air, Zhou Yu quickly counted, a total of twenty-seven. That's right, it's on.

Good guys, tired and scared to death. Zhou Yu wiped a handful of sweat, and in his stunned gaze, Fiskel rushed into the suspended stone henge like a moth to a fire. Holding a spear in front of him, dodging these one-meter-square floating bricks, he rushed towards the center.

What made Zhou Yu strange was that Fiskel pushed away a hanging stone with the body of a spear, and the stone fluttered back to his position just now, just like a monkey skin band, no matter how he pushed, pulled, and dragged, it would return to its original position.

He followed Fiskel, looking up at the floating stones, and walked slowly forward. It turned out that each of these stones was still six-sided, and each side was still one of those symbols, and it seemed that Zhou Yu was spelling out their outward side just now.

"Found it, found it! Bless the god of the steppe! Fiskel let out a pig-killing howl in front of him, and Zhou Yu got goosebumps when he heard it. If you find it, you can find it, why do you want to die or live? Crying and fussing, hang yourself? The Grand Duke's attention was obviously not on the steppe fires, but on the twenty-seven cubes that were still floating.

No, what about these things? Or am I dazzled? Zhou Yu rubbed his eyes vigorously, then dragged Bamble behind him and asked, "Hey?" Is this stone turning? ”

"Well, back to the deputy commander, yes, it's turning." This deputy commander is the official named by Zhou Yu after putting on the mask. He has a special affection for this kind of position such as deputy captain, deputy director, and deputy director. How comfortable is it to be a deputy? Being scolded and criticized has a job, and it is not your turn.

As long as you speak closely at the meeting, and the sycophants are patted to the point, then the weekdays are more moisturized and more moisturized. What the? You say criticism and self-criticism, and it's not easy to pass when you put forward opinions to find problems? How is it sad? As long as you say hello to the leader in advance, mention some innocuous things, criticize yourself more ruthlessly, and do enough tricks, what's so bad about it?

"The stone is spinning?" Zhou Yu touched the disintegrated boulder. It's not cold but lukewarm, and the texture is a bit like the liner of a rice cooker. This is not a stone, but some kind of alloy. As soon as the human hand touched it, the alloy cube slowed down due to resistance, but as soon as the hand was released, it immediately turned rapidly, and it seemed to make up for the missing number of turns just now and then resume its rotation at a uniform speed.

"Thank heaven and earth! The fire of the prairie was able to return to the embrace of the prairie. It's been thousands of years, I don't know how many years. Countless elves died in the cold wind and rain, did they, their souls, see this scene? Zhou Yu looked into the air in the direction of Fiskel's hand.

The alloy block in the center has no pattern on all six sides, but is hollowed out in the shape of a grid. Inside, a green flame could be seen jumping restlessly, excited and eerie under the sunset.

"Is it really green?" Zhou Yu wondered, if the elves can't touch the fire of the human race, what about the people? Can Terrans touch elven fire? Will it also fly away like ashes as soon as it touches the skin?

"Lord Deputy Commander, are you still opposed?" Bamble leaned over and asked in an inaudible voice. Before fighting the Rubik's Cube just now, Zhou Yu secretly explained to them the plan to break through, and this kid was still very vigilant.

"Anti, anti, anti, anti, anti-your uncle! Are you addicted to rebellion? Zhou Yu took off the wooden scoop and chiseled the back of Bambur's head hard, causing the kid to rub the back of his head and run away.

It's really a fake dog, didn't I drop the cup? What is the monkey anxious about? Besides, isn't that done? We don't know how the centaurs thank us? Where to eat at night? Don't be all about virtue, it's not necessary to be expensive. Just a cheap shop, Zhou Yu thought of this, and he flowed all over the place.

Just as he was contemplating the good life of the Grand Duke, several spears reached out and surrounded him. Zhou Yu looked around, and the other slave soldiers were also surrounded, Fiskel picked up the horses and slowly walked over on all four hooves.

"That's not bad, Lao Fei. What a trick to cross the river and tear down the bridge! Zhou Yu slapped his face.
