Chapter Twenty-Four: It's Yours to Decide

The passage of the gate twisted and twisted like a vortex of air, and as soon as we stepped in, there was no way back.

"Intruder ......"

"Intruder...... Exterminate! ”

Countless overlapping neutral mechanical sounds sounded, as if the curtain of a theater stage had been pulled open by a pair of invisible hands, and countless huge mechanical arms suddenly stretched out around the vortex.

These robotic arms are displayed like a guard of honour along the passage into the endless distance, with hammers, wrenches, rapidly rotating gears and blades linked to them......

"Annihilation!"

Countless mechanical sounds sounded from all directions, and before the words fell, the mechanical arm closest to us suddenly started, and in the friction sound of the metal pulley of "click, click, click", more than a dozen mechanical arms linked to the terrible murder weapon fell towards the heads of our group!

"What should I do, Mr. Yoshimitsu?"

"Be careful, get out of the way!"

"Sister Kirishima, I'm afraid of ......"

Seeing the danger coming, the people around him couldn't help but panic a little.

"Don't panic!" Shen Tangzhi told everyone to be quiet, his eyes were fixed on the huge mechanical arm that attacked, and he frowned, "-Jiguang, think of a way." ”

"Isn't that what you're thinking?"

I waved everyone to be quiet, took a step forward, and ripped off the blood jade hanging from my neck, touching it with the miniature dreammaker in my other hand—

"Damn, there's still not enough energy!" I scolded, "I originally thought that with the energy of this miniature dream machine, I could awaken the blood jade ......."

The old knife's eyes widened: "Then what should I do?" ”

I put both Xu Liang and Du Min under my armpits: "This section of the road has to rely on ourselves - run!" ”

With that, I've already pulled out my legs and run.

Kirishima Xun was the first to react and immediately picked up Shen Xiaoke.

"Holy!" The old knife also hurried to follow.

Shen Tang came first, ran to my side, and said with willow eyebrows: "This is the way you came up with it?!" ”

I ducked my head to dodge a sharp chain, and then rushed under another hammer: "This, and what I expected...... A slight difference. ”

The passage seemed to stretch endlessly, and we ran for a few minutes, but we still couldn't see the end of the passage - when we looked from outside the city gate, the passage of the city gate was at most a dozen meters long, but now it seemed to be endless......

Although dodging the attacks of these mechanical arms is not too dangerous for a few of us, people's mental and physical strength is limited, and if you do high-intensity mental and physical exercise for a long time, you will soon be tired, and then a small mistake can lead to serious consequences.

"Aji, isn't there no end to this bullshit city gate? Lao Tzu is dying! The old knife panted.

"If this continues, someone will definitely not be able to hold it first." Shen Tangzhi looked better than the old knife, but his chest also began to rise and fall violently, and the black hole generally attracted my attention, "We don't have the inhuman physical strength of you and Xiao Xun......"

I forcibly took my eyes off Shen Tangzhi's turbulent chest and glanced around—the only two people who still seemed to be at ease now, only me and Kirishima were left, and the old knife and Shen Tangzhi were exhausted.

"Hold on a little longer."

I focused on feeling the subtle changes of the two strange objects in my palm, the blood jade still did not fluctuate, but the miniature dream-making machine in the other palm was indeed gradually generating stronger and stronger energy fluctuations - making my palm feel slightly overcharged, and the deeper I went into the depths of this vortex channel, the stronger the sense of electricity became.

"Almost."

I stopped abruptly, squatted slightly, and gently lowered Xu Liang and Du Min who were sandwiched under my arms, allowing them to stand firmly on the undulating ground like ocean waves.

The feeling of electricity in the palm of my hand made half of my forearm tingle.

"Whew-"

Kirishima Xun and Shen Tangzhi rushed to my side, and the two took Xu Liang and Du Min's hands and retreated to the side.

"Click!"

Two robotic arms the size of a real-world excavator's shovel immediately smashed down on me—

The old knife exclaimed in the back: "Aji, be careful! ”

I didn't speak, just put my palms together - the blood jade and the miniature dreammaker came into contact again......

This time, too, the situation has finally changed.

Dozens of faint white currents appeared on the surface of the WeChat Dream Maker, and the blood jade was also completely enveloped, and the color of the current turned blood red......

But to my surprise, there was still no familiar blazing energy coming from the blood jade, but the lightning instantly snaked and clinged to the snake pupil blood ring in my left hand!

"Frightened!"

A circle of sound waves visible to the naked eye shook the air, and the ripples spread in the blink of an eye......

Immediately after, the snake pupil in the blood ring gem in my hand suddenly seemed to open, and instantly turned from grayish white to blood-red!

As bright red and bloodthirsty as the first time I saw it!

At the same time, a familiar voice sounded directly in my head:

"Are you calling me? ...... hosts"

Sure enough, it's the mutated octopus monster!

I thought to myself, "Who else could it be?" How are your friends? ”

"My friend...... Most of them have disappeared in time, or are sleeping in some hidden place - master, do you want to find them? ”

"That's the question—gossip aside, can you get out of the ring now?"

"Yes, but I feel that the outside world is strange, full of extremely disturbed energy......"

"Because it's not the real world. Alright, no more nonsense—"

At this end of the psychic communication with the mutant octopus monster, I suddenly stood up straight, raised my left hand wearing the snake pupil blood ring above my head, and shouted:

"It's up to you—come on, big octopus balls!"

However, the goose did not expect the colorful divine light to shine, or the majestic BGM automatically sounded......

I could only hear a small voice - "Po! ”

A finger-sized stream of gray smoke rose from the snake's pupil blood ring, and when the gray smoke cleared, a very small octopus appeared in the air.

Luckily I wasn't drinking water, otherwise I would have had to vomit it all in one go!

But...... I thought about it, the size and ability are not necessarily proportional, at least this octopus monster used to be very powerful still vividly, how can it not be any worse?

Plus it's a special dream world......

That's right, that's definitely the way it is.

Convincing myself, I continued to give the order with confidence:

"Block those two pieces of broken copper and iron for me!"

"Click!"

The mechanical arm slashed at the top of my head at this time, but the octopus's belly bulged high, and the eight brachiopods were closed one by one, and it was also in the air as if it was in water, relying on the air spewing out of the abdomen to obtain the reaction force, and a neat lateral movement avoided the direction of the mechanical arm!

Just, this, what, will, I, dry, crisp, sharp, fall, land, sell, ah?!!

"I, you, he—"

I was stunned, and I almost didn't lift it in one breath!

"Be careful!"

A force grabbed my right arm and pulled me to the side, while a petite figure slipped into his arms and picked up my right arm, took a few steps away, and took me to the ground for a tumbling ......

"Boom!"

Two robotic arms grazed my back and hit the ground hard!

"Mr. Yoshimitsu, are you alright?"

Kirishima poked his head out from under my right arm.

"I-I'm fucking-"

Glancing back at the mechanical arm slowly rising behind me again, I trembled with anger.

An octopus the size of a fist floated in front of me at this time.

"Hey, this is an octopus? It's kawaii! Kirishima Smoke's beautiful eyes flickered, and she was almost on the anime version of the star eyes, and she said with hope, "Can you let me hug me?" ”

"Kirishima-san, you ...... first Wait a minute. ”

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to force myself to calm down, and then, no longer using telepathy, I pointed directly at the octopus and yelled:

"Didn't you fucking say you could be summoned by me?!"

"Yes, my master." The fleshy octopus stretches its wrists and feet slightly in the air, and speaks. "Didn't I already appear in front of you?"

"Ahhh Kirishima excitedly started the "girl jumping on the spot", and if it is described in an anime way, her big black and bright eyes should have a peach heart in it.

"Wait a minute, Kirishima-sama." I reached out and pressed Kirishima on the head to prevent her from continuing to jump in front of my eyes, and then said to the octopus with anger, "What happened just now?" Why did you suddenly dodge? ”

"I can't stop those two enemies, my master."

The octopus monster refers to the two mechanical arms as "two enemies", presumably because it has never seen such mechanical monsters at all.

"You can't ...... Well? I finally heard the strangeness of its words, "According to your ability, not so, right?" ”

"Those two enemies are thousands of times larger than me, so there's no way I'm going to be able to block that attack, right?"

The octopus said, his tone quite aggrieved: "Didn't I say that the outside world is strange? Before I finish my sentence, you ......"

I rolled my eyes at the sky, "So, is it my fault?" ”

"I dare not think so, my master. But there is a lot of chaotic energy around me, and although you use it to wake me up, my strength has not been restored......"

Seeing that my face was starting to be bad again, the octopus hurriedly sped up his speech: "However, I feel that something in this space has a huge amount of energy, if you can obtain this energy, you may be able to make the master open the [Yin Netherworld Blood Book] again and obtain the next spell content of the Seven Chapters of the Xuanjun Secret Codex." ”

"Click!"

The mechanical arm struck again, and Kamino Kirishima and I quickly dodged.

Shen Tangzhi and Lao Dao were protecting the three children on the other side, Kirishima and I came to their side, and the octopus also followed all the way to "swim" in the air, it was not slow, it was just able to keep up with me and Kirishima Xun.

When Shen Tang saw the octopus floating in mid-air, he opened a pair of beautiful eyes: "Could this be...... The octopus? ”

"Hmm." I nodded gloomily.

"So small?" After hearing my confirmation, the old knife was even more surprised.

I raised my forehead and said, "Don't mention it, it's like this anyway, and now we have to solve the dilemma in front of us ourselves." ”

The place we were in happened to be a dead end that those mechanical arms couldn't hit, but we eventually moved on and got out of this place—

The question is: where exactly are we going?

Going all the way is not necessarily the right choice, because the place we are in is not a "city gate passage", but a different space.

My eyes still fell on the octopus.

"You just said that you can feel something with a huge amount of energy nearby?"

"That's right, my master." The eight-clawed octopus was as small as a baby's voice.

"It can talk?! Brother Liang, this octopus can talk—" Shen Xiaoke was the first to exhale.

"Hmm." Xu Liang pretended to be indifferent, but his eyes also flashed with a child's curious light.

Even Du Min, who had never been very interested in everything around him, his eyes instantly widened.

As soon as the octopus monster confirmed, I seemed to think of a countermeasure: "Can you feel the exact location of that thing?" ”

"There's a lot of energy distraction here...... However, it should be fine. ”

"Good."

Then, I turned to Shen Tangzhi and the others and said, "I used this miniature dream machine in my hand to summon it, but for some reason, it can only appear in this form, and it can't help us deal with those hateful mechanical giants, but if it can sense the exact location of that thing, then we will also find an exit." ”

Shen Tangzhi took the lead in nodding in agreement: "This dream world is created by a dream machine, if there is a thing here that 'has huge energy', it must be a dream machine." ”

I ordered the octopus: "Help me show me the way." ”

The octopus monster staggered and raised a wrist and foot and pointed behind us, "There it is, master." There are strong energy fluctuations there. ”

I was a little disconfident, and turned to point to an iron-gray metal wall in front of me that kept twisting shapes: "Here? ”

The octopus monster floated to my right shoulder: "Exactly there, my master." ”

It's really true, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

Without hesitation, I stretched out my right arm and pressed the miniature dream-making gold in my hand against the metal wall—

Kirishima exclaimed softly, "There is a reaction!" ”

Without her prompting, we could all see that the metal wall near the miniature dream machine was instantly twisted, like a stone thrown into a pond, and strong fluctuations formed around it that rapidly expanded.

And my right hand felt an unprecedented overcharge!

"Whew-"

In the sound of cracking, the iron-gray metal wall was like a silk that had been torn hard, producing countless cracks, and through these spider silk-like cracks, we could already glimpse the other side of the wall-

It was a strange palace.
